(b) To request a Swingline Borrowing, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent, JPMorgan Europe Limited and the Swingline Lender of such request by telephone (confirmed by a Swingline Borrowing Request by telecopy), not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Borrowing. Each such notice and Swingline Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the Borrower requesting such Swingline Borrowing, (ii) the requested date (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the currency and amount of the requested Swingline Borrowing and (iv) in the case of a Swingline Borrowing to be made by the Dutch Borrower or a U.K. Borrower, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by clause (b) of the definition of “Interest Period”. The Swingline Lender shall consult with the Administrative Agent as to whether the making of the Swingline Loan is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement prior to the Swingline Lender funding such Swingline Loan. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan to be made by it hereunder in accordance with Section 2.02(a) on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 3:00 p.m., Local Time, to the account of the applicable Borrower (or, in the case of a Swingline Borrowing made to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank).

Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each such Lender, specifying in such notice such European Tranche Lender’s European Tranche Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each European Tranche Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender, such European Tranche Lender’s European Tranche Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each European Tranche Lender acknowledges and agrees that its respective obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each European Tranche Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such European Tranche Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the European Tranche Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the U.S. Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph (c), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not

to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from any Borrower (or other party on behalf of such Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the European Tranche Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve any Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

(d) All Swingline Loans outstanding under the 2005 Credit Agreement on the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date shall remain outstanding hereunder on the terms set forth herein, except as otherwise provided herein.

SECTION 2.05. Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including, with respect to issuances of Tranche C-3 Letters of Credit, Section 2.23), each Borrower may request the issuance of Revolving Letters of Credit under either the European Tranche denominated in any Alternative Currency or U.S. Dollars or under the Canadian Tranche denominated in U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars (provided that, in the case of Canadian Dollar-denominated Revolving Letters of Credit for the account of the Canadian Borrower, an Issuing Bank in respect thereof has been agreed and designated), and the U.S. Borrower may request issuance of Tranche C-3 Letters of Credit denominated in U.S. Dollars, in each case for its own account (or, in the case of Revolving Letters of Credit, for the account of a Subsidiary, so long as such Borrower and such Subsidiary are co-applicants), in a form reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period for such Tranche and prior to the date that is five Business Days prior to (i) the Revolving Facility Maturity Date, in the case of the Canadian Tranche and European Tranche, or (ii) the Tranche C-3 Maturity Date, in the case of Tranche C-3. For purposes hereof, (i) all Letters of Credit (other than Canadian Tranche Letters of Credit) that are denominated in U.S. Dollars and issued for the account of the U.S. Borrower shall at all times and from time to time be deemed to be Tranche C-3 Letters of Credit in the amount specified in the definition of Tranche C-3 Letters of Credit and be deemed to be European Tranche Letters of Credit only to the extent, and in an amount by which, the aggregate amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (other than Canadian Tranche Letters of Credit) that are denominated in U.S. Dollars and issued for the account of the U.S. Borrower exceeds such amount specified in the definition of Tranche C-3 Letters of Credit, (ii) drawings under any Letter of Credit (other than Canadian Tranche Letters of Credit) that are denominated in U.S. Dollars and issued for the account of the U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to have been made under European Tranche Letters of Credit for so long as, and to the extent that, there are any undrawn European Tranche Letters of Credit outstanding that are denominated in U.S. Dollars and issued for the account of the U.S. Borrower (and thereafter shall be deemed to have been made under Tranche C-3

Letters of Credit) and (iii) any Letter of Credit (other than any Canadian Tranche Letter of Credit) that is denominated in U.S. Dollars and issued for the account of the U.S. Borrower and that expires or terminates will be deemed to be a European Tranche Letter of Credit, for so long as, and to the extent that, there are outstanding European Tranche Letters of Credit that are denominated in U.S. Dollars and issued for the account of the U.S. Borrower immediately prior to such expiration or termination; provided, however, that, at any time during which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (A) Letters of Credit (other than Canadian Tranche Letters of Credit) that are denominated in U.S. Dollars and issued for the account of the U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to be European Tranche Letters of Credit and Tranche C-3 Letters of Credit, (B) drawings under Letters of Credit (other than Canadian Tranche Letters of Credit) that are denominated in U.S. Dollars and issued for the account of the U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to have been made under European Tranche Letters of Credit and Tranche C-3 Letters of Credit and (C) any Letter of Credit (other than any Canadian Tranche Letter of Credit) that is denominated in U.S. Dollars and issued for the account of the U.S. Borrower and that expires or terminates shall be deemed to be a European Tranche Letter of Credit and a Tranche C-3 Letter of Credit, in each case pro rata based upon (1) the total European Tranche Commitments at such time and (2) the sum of the Total Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit and the amount of the Total Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit that shall have been applied to reimburse outstanding Tranche C-3 L/C Disbursements at such time. To the extent necessary to implement the foregoing, the identification of a Letter of Credit as a European Tranche Letter of Credit or a Tranche C-3 Letter of Credit may change from time to time and a portion of a Letter of Credit may be deemed to be a Tranche C-3 Letter of Credit and the remainder be deemed to be a European Tranche Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire face amount of any Letter of Credit with an expiration date after the Revolving Facility Maturity Date shall at all times be deemed to be a Tranche C-3 Letter of Credit, subject to the limitations set forth in clause (i) of the third sentence of this paragraph (a). 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 such Borrower to, or entered into by such Borrower with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension: Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal (other than an automatic renewal in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section) or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the applicable Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (three Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying whether such Letter of Credit is to be issued or maintained under the Canadian Tranche, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the currency in which such

If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the Canadian Tranche L/C Exposure shall not exceed $35.0 million or the European Tranche L/C Exposure shall not exceed $65.0 million, as applicable, (ii) the Canadian Tranche Revolving Facility Exposure or the European Tranche Revolving Facility Exposure, as applicable, shall not exceed the total Canadian Tranche Commitments or total European Tranche Commitments, as applicable, (iii) the Tranche C-3 L/C Exposure shall not exceed the Total Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit and (iv) the Total Revolving Facility Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Facility Commitments.

(d) Participations. (i) By the issuance of a Revolving Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Revolving Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Revolving Facility Lenders under the applicable Tranche, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each such Revolving Facility Lender, and each such Revolving Facility Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Revolving Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Facility Lender’s Tranche Percentage in respect of such Tranche of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Revolving Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Facility Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in U.S. Dollars, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Revolving Facility Lender’s Tranche Percentage of (i) each Revolving L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank in U.S. Dollars and (ii) the U.S. Dollar Equivalent, using the Exchange Rates in effect on the date such payment is required, of each Revolving L/C Disbursement made by such

Issuing Bank in an Alternative Currency and, in each case, not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to such Borrower for any reason (or if such Revolving L/C Disbursement or reimbursement payment was refunded in an Alternative Currency, the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof using the Exchange Rate in effect on the date of such refund). Each Revolving Facility Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Revolving Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Revolving Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(ii) On the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, without any further action on the part of any Issuing Bank or the Tranche C-3 Lenders, each Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Tranche C-3 Lender, and each Tranche C-3 Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in each Tranche C-3 Letter of Credit equal to such Tranche C-3 Lender’s Tranche C-3 Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Tranche C-3 Letter of Credit. Each Tranche C-3 Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit in full on the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date. Each Tranche C-3 Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees that if an Issuing Bank makes a Tranche C-3 L/C Disbursement that is not reimbursed by the U.S. Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or is required to refund any reimbursement payment in respect of a Tranche C-3 L/C Disbursement to the U.S. Borrower for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for the amount of such Tranche C-3 L/C Disbursement from such Tranche C-3 Lender’s Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit on deposit in the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit Account. In the event the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit Account is charged by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for an unreimbursed Tranche C-3 L/C Disbursement, the U.S. Borrower shall have the right, at any time prior to the Tranche C-3 Maturity Date, to pay over to the Administrative Agent in reimbursement thereof an amount equal to the amount so charged, and such payment shall be deposited by the Administrative Agent in the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit Account. Each Tranche C-3 Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire and fund participations in respect of Tranche C-3 Letters of Credit pursuant to this subparagraph (ii) is unconditional and irrevocable and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Tranche C-3 Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or the return of the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Without limiting the foregoing, each Tranche C-3 Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to apply amounts of its Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit as provided in this subparagraph (ii).

(e) Reimbursement. (i) If the applicable Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement, in the currency in which such L/C Disbursement is made, not later than 2:00 P.M., Local Time, on (A) the Business Day that the applicable Borrower receives notice under paragraph (g) of this Section of such L/C Disbursement, if such notice is received on such day prior to 10:00 A.M., Local Time, or (B) if clause (A) does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the date the applicable Borrower receives such notice; provided that the applicable Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing, a Base Rate Revolving Borrowing or a Swingline Borrowing, as applicable, in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing, Base Rate Borrowing or Swingline Borrowing.

(ii) If a Borrower fails to reimburse any Revolving L/C Disbursement when due, then (A) if such payment relates to an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, automatically and with no further action required, such Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the applicable Revolving L/C Disbursement shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the U.S. Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rates on the date when such payment was due, of such Revolving L/C Disbursement and (B) in the case of each Revolving L/C Disbursement, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Bank and each Revolving Facility Lender under the applicable Tranche of the applicable Revolving L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from the applicable Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Tranche Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Facility Lender under the applicable Tranche shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Tranche Percentage in U.S. Dollars of the payment then due from such Borrower in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Facility Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from such Revolving Facility Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from a Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Facility Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Facility Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any Revolving L/C Disbursement (other than the funding of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, Base Rate Revolving Borrowing or a Swingline Borrowing as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Revolving L/C Disbursement. If the applicable Borrower’s reimbursement of, or obligation

to reimburse, any amounts in any Alternative Currency would subject the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or any Lender to any stamp duty, ad valorem charge or similar tax that would not be payable if such reimbursement were made or required to be made in U.S. Dollars, such Borrower shall, at its option, either (x) pay the amount of any such tax requested by the Administrative Agent, the relevant Issuing Bank or Lender or (y) reimburse each Revolving L/C Disbursement made in such Alternative Currency in U.S. Dollars, in an amount equal to the U.S. Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the applicable Exchange Rate on the date such Revolving L/C Disbursement is made, of such Revolving L/C Disbursement.

(iii) If the U.S. Borrower fails to make (or cause another account party to make) any payment due under paragraph (e)(i) above with respect to a Tranche C-3 Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Tranche C-3 Lender of the applicable Tranche C-3 L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from the U.S. Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Tranche C-3 Percentage thereof, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank each Tranche C-3 Lender’s Tranche C-3 Percentage of such Tranche C-3 L/C Disbursement from such Tranche C-3 Lender’s Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment by the U.S. Borrower in respect of any Tranche C-3 L/C Disbursement, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent payments have been made from the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits, to the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit Account to be added to the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits of the Tranche C-3 Lenders in accordance with their Tranche C-3 Percentages. The U.S. Borrower acknowledges that each payment made pursuant to this subparagraph (iii) in respect of any Tranche C-3 L/C Disbursement is required to be made for the benefit of the distributees indicated in the immediately preceding sentence. Any payment made from the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit Account, or from funds of the Administrative Agent, pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any Tranche C-3 L/C Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the U.S. Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Tranche C-3 L/C Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of each Borrower to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the

applicable Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank, or any of the circumstances referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first sentence; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the applicable Issuing Bank from liability to a Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are determined by a final and binding decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by (i) such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof or (ii) such Issuing Bank’s refusal to issue a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination and each refusal to issue a Letter of Credit. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make a L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the applicable Revolving Facility Lenders or Tranche C-3 Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such L/C Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that such Borrower reimburses such

L/C Disbursement, (i) if such L/C Disbursement is a Revolving L/C Disbursement made in U.S. Dollars, and at all times following the conversion to U.S. Dollars of a Revolving L/C Disbursement made in an Alternative Currency pursuant to paragraph (e) above, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans (in the case of the U.S. Borrower) or Base Rate Loans (in the case of other Borrowers), (ii) if such L/C Disbursement is a Revolving L/C Disbursement made in an Alternative Currency, at all times prior to its conversion to U.S. Dollars pursuant to paragraph (e) above, at the applicable Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans at such time (or, in the case of a Revolving L/C Disbursement made in Canadian Dollars, at the Canadian Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin applicable to Canadian Base Rate Loans at such time) and (iii) if such L/C Disbursement is a Tranche C-3 L/C Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Term Loans; provided that, in each case, if such L/C Disbursement is not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower when due pursuant to paragraph (e) (i) of this Section, then Section 2.14(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Facility Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) (ii) of this Section or from the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit of any Tranche C-3 Lender pursuant to paragraph (e)(iii) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Facility Lender or Tranche C-3 Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank with respect to any one or more of the Canadian Tranche, the European Tranche or Tranche C-3, may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the U.S. Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank in respect of the European Tranche shall be a PMP. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.13(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued under the applicable Tranche thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of such Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (i) in the case of an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(h) or (i), on the Business Day or (ii) in the case of any other Event of Default, on the third Business Day, in each case, following the date on which the U.S. Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been

accelerated, Tranche C-3 Lenders and Revolving Facility Lenders with L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total L/C Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, or if the original Revolving Facility Maturity Date and Term Facility Maturity Date shall be changed to an earlier date pursuant to the proviso to the definition of the terms “Revolving Facility Maturity Date” and “Term Facility Maturity Date”, the Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash in U.S. Dollars equal to the aggregate L/C Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that (i) the portions of such amount attributable to undrawn Alternative Currency Letters of Credit or L/C Disbursements in an Alternative Currency that the Borrowers are not late in reimbursing shall be deposited in the applicable Alternative Currencies in the actual amounts of such undrawn Letters of Credit and L/C Disbursements and (ii) upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01, the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Alternative Currency Revolving L/C Exposure shall be calculated using the Exchange Rates on the date notice demanding cash collateralization is delivered to a Borrower. Each such deposit pursuant to this paragraph shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of (i) for so long as an Event of Default shall be continuing, the Administrative Agent and (ii) at any other time, the U.S. Borrower, in each case, in Permitted Investments and at the risk and expense of the Borrowers, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account with respect to Letters of Credit issued under any Tranche shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements made in respect of Letters of Credit issued under such Tranche for which such Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the Revolving L/C Exposure and Tranche C-3 L/C Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Tranche C-3 Lenders and Revolving Facility Lenders with L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total L/C Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. If a Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(k) Additional Issuing Banks. From time to time, the U.S. Borrower may by notice to the Administrative Agent designate up to four Lenders (in addition to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.), each of which agrees (in its sole discretion) to act

in such capacity and each of which is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as an Issuing Bank in respect of any one or more of the Canadian Tranche, the European Tranche or Tranche C-3. Each such additional Issuing Bank shall execute a counterpart of this Agreement upon the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and shall thereafter be an Issuing Bank with respect to the applicable Tranche hereunder for all purposes.

(l) Issuing Bank Agreements. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the first Business Day of each week, the daily activity (set forth by day) in respect of Letters of Credit during the immediately preceding week, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancelations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit under any Tranche, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it under any Tranche and outstanding under such Tranche after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed), it being understood that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Letter of Credit to occur without first obtaining written (or, with respect to any Issuing Bank, if the Administrative Agent so agrees with respect to such Issuing Bank, telephonic) confirmation from the Administrative Agent that it is then permitted under this Agreement, (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any L/C Disbursement in respect of any Letter of Credit issued under a Tranche, the identity of such Tranche, the date of such L/C Disbursement and the amount of such L/C Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which a Borrower fails to reimburse an L/C Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure, the applicable Borrower and the amount and currency of such L/C Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

(m) Conversion. In the event that the Loans become immediately due and payable on any date pursuant to Section 7.01, all amounts (i) that a Borrower is at the time or thereafter becomes required to reimburse or otherwise pay to the Administrative Agent in respect of L/C Disbursements made under any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (other than amounts in respect of which such Borrower has deposited cash collateral pursuant to paragraph (j) above, if such cash collateral was deposited in the applicable Alternative Currency to the extent so deposited or applied), (ii) that the Revolving Facility Lenders are at the time or thereafter become required to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent is at the time or thereafter becomes required to distribute to the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section in respect of unreimbursed L/C Disbursements made under any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit and (iii) of each Revolving Facility Lender’s participation in any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit under which an L/C Disbursement has been made shall,

automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the U.S. Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rates on such date (or in the case of any L/C Disbursement made after such date, on the date such L/C Disbursement is made), of such amounts. On and after such conversion, all amounts accruing and owed to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or any Lender in respect of the obligations described in this paragraph shall accrue and be payable in U.S. Dollars at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder.

(n) All Letters of Credit outstanding under the 2005 Credit Agreement on the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date shall remain outstanding hereunder on the terms set forth herein, except as otherwise provided herein.

SECTION 2.06. Canadian Bankers’ Acceptances. (a) Each acceptance and purchase of B/As of a single Contract Period pursuant to Section 2.01(c) or Section 2.08 shall be made ratably by the Canadian Tranche Lenders in accordance with the amounts of their Canadian Tranche Commitments. The failure of any Canadian Tranche Lender to accept any B/A required to be accepted by it shall not relieve any other Canadian Tranche Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Canadian Tranche Commitments are several and no Canadian Tranche Lender shall be responsible for any other Canadian Tranche Lender’s failure to accept B/As as required hereunder.

(b) The B/As of a single Contract Period accepted and purchased on any date shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of C$1,000,000 and not less than C$1,000,000. The face amount of each B/A shall be C$100,000 or any whole multiple thereof. If any Canadian Tranche Lender’s ratable share of the B/As of any Contract Period to be accepted on any date would not be an integral multiple of C$100,000, the face amount of the B/As accepted by such Lender may be increased or reduced to the nearest integral multiple of C$100,000 by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. B/As of more than one Contract Period may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of five B/A Drawings outstanding.

(c) To request an acceptance and purchase of B/As, the Canadian Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone or by facsimile not later than 10:00 a.m., Local Time, one Business Day before the date of such acceptance and purchase. Each such request shall be irrevocable and, if telephonic, shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of a written request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Canadian Borrower. Each such telephonic and written request shall specify the following information:

(i) the aggregate face amount of the B/As to be accepted and purchased;

(ii) the date of such acceptance and purchase, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) the Contract Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Contract Period” (and which shall in no event end after the Revolving Facility Maturity Date); and

(iv) the location and number of the Canadian Borrower’s account to which any funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.07. If no Contract Period is specified with respect to any requested acceptance and purchase of B/As, then the Canadian Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a Contract Period of 30 days’ duration.

Promptly following receipt of a request in accordance with this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Canadian Tranche Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of B/As to be accepted and purchased by such Lender.

(d) The Canadian Borrower hereby appoints each Canadian Tranche Lender as its attorney to sign and endorse on its behalf, manually or by facsimile or mechanical signature, as and when deemed necessary by such Lender, blank forms of B/As. It shall be the responsibility of each Canadian Tranche Lender to maintain an adequate supply of blank forms of B/As for acceptance under this Agreement. The Canadian Borrower recognizes and agrees that all B/As signed and/or endorsed on its behalf by any Canadian Tranche Lender shall bind the Canadian Borrower as fully and effectually as if manually signed and duly issued by authorized officers of the Canadian Borrower. Each Canadian Tranche Lender is hereby authorized to issue such B/As endorsed in blank in such face amounts as may be determined by such Lender to comply with any request of the Canadian Borrower hereunder; provided that the aggregate face amount thereof is equal to the aggregate face amount of B/As required to be accepted by such Lender. No Canadian Tranche Lender shall be liable for any damage, loss or claim arising by reason of any loss or improper use of any such instrument unless such loss or improper use results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender. Each Canadian Tranche Lender shall maintain a record with respect to B/As (i) received by it from the Administrative Agent in blank hereunder, (ii) voided by it for any reason, (iii) accepted and purchased by it hereunder and (iv) canceled at their respective maturities. Upon request by the Canadian Borrower, a Lender shall cancel all forms of B/A that have been pre-signed or pre-endorsed on behalf of the Canadian Borrower and that are held by such Lender and are not required to be issued pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) Drafts of the Canadian Borrower to be accepted as B/As hereunder shall be signed as set forth in paragraph (d) above. Notwithstanding that any person whose signature appears on any B/A may no longer be an authorized signatory for any of the Lenders or the Canadian Borrower at the date of issuance of such B/A, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if such authority had remained in force at the time of such issuance and any such B/A so signed shall be binding on the Canadian Borrower.

(f) Upon acceptance of a B/A by a Lender, such Lender shall purchase, or arrange the purchase of, such B/A from the Canadian Borrower at the Discount B/A Rate for such Lender applicable to such B/A accepted by it and provide to the Administrative Agent the Discount Proceeds (net of applicable acceptance fees) for the account of the Canadian Borrower as provided in Section 2.07. The acceptance fee payable by the Canadian Borrower to a Lender under Section 2.13(c) in respect of each B/A accepted by such Lender shall be set off against the Discount Proceeds payable by such Lender under this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any B/A Drawing resulting from the conversion or continuation of a B/A Drawing or Canadian Tranche Revolving Facility Loan pursuant to Section 2.08, the net amount that would otherwise be payable to the Canadian Borrower by each Lender pursuant to this paragraph will be applied as provided in Section 2.08(f).

(g) Each Lender may at any time and from time to time hold, sell, rediscount or otherwise dispose of any or all B/A’s accepted and purchased by it hereunder.

(h) Each B/A accepted and purchased hereunder shall mature at the end of the Contract Period applicable thereto.

(i) The Canadian Borrower waives presentment for payment and any other defense to payment of any amounts due to a Lender in respect of a B/A accepted and purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement that might exist solely by reason of such B/A being held, at the maturity thereof, by such Lender in its own right and the Canadian Borrower agrees not to claim any days of grace if such Lender as holder sues the Canadian Borrower on the B/A for payment of the amounts payable by the Canadian Borrower thereunder. On the specified maturity date of a B/A, or such earlier date as may be required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Canadian Borrower shall pay the Lender that has accepted and purchased such B/A the full face amount of such B/A, and after such payment the Canadian Borrower shall have no further liability in respect of such B/A and such Lender shall be entitled to all benefits of, and be responsible for all payments due to third parties under, such B/A.

(j) At the option of the Canadian Borrower and any Lender, B/As under this Agreement to be accepted by that Lender may be issued in the form of depository bills for deposit with The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited pursuant to the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada) or bills of exchange pursuant to the Bills of Exchange Act. All depository bills so issued and all bills of exchange shall be governed by the provisions of this Section 2.06. If a Canadian Tranche Lender is not a bank under the Bank Act (Canada) or if a Canadian Tranche Lender notifies the Administrative Agent in writing that it is otherwise unable to accept B/As, such Canadian Tranche Lender will, instead of accepting and purchasing B/As, make a Loan (a “B/A Equivalent Loan”) to the Canadian Borrower in the amount and for the same term as the draft that such Canadian Tranche Lender would otherwise have been required to accept and purchase

hereunder. Each such Canadian Tranche Lender will provide to the Administrative Agent the Discount Proceeds of such B/A Equivalent Loan for the account of the Canadian Borrower in the same manner as such Canadian Tranche Lender would have provided the Discount Proceeds in respect of the draft that such Canadian Tranche Lender would otherwise have been required to accept and purchase hereunder. Each such B/A Equivalent Loan will bear interest at the same rate that would result if such Canadian Tranche Lender had accepted (and been paid an acceptance fee) and purchased (on a discounted basis) a B/A for the relevant Contract Period (it being the intention of the parties that each such B/A Equivalent Loan shall have the same economic consequences for the Lenders and the Canadian Borrower as the B/A that such B/A Equivalent Loan replaces). All such interest shall be paid in advance on the date such B/A Equivalent Loan is made, and will be deducted from the principal amount of such B/A Equivalent Loan in the same amount and manner in which the deduction based on the Discount B/A Rate and the applicable acceptance fee of a B/A would be deducted from the face amount of the B/A. Subject to the repayment requirements of this Agreement, on the last day of the relevant Contract Period for such B/A Equivalent Loan, the Canadian Borrower shall be entitled to convert each such B/A Equivalent Loan into another type of Loan, or to roll over each such B/A Equivalent Loan into another B/A Equivalent Loan, all in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.07. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it and disburse the Discount Proceeds (net of applicable acceptance fees) of each B/A to be accepted and purchased by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans or Discount Proceeds (net of applicable acceptance fees) available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of such Borrower designated by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans, Base Rate Revolving Borrowings and Swingline Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of a L/C Disbursement and reimbursements as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing or acceptance and purchase of B/As that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing or the applicable Discount Proceeds (net of applicable acceptance fees), the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing or the applicable Discount Proceeds (net of applicable acceptance fees) available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the

Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of (A) (1) in the case of a Borrowing by the U.S. Borrower, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and (2) in the case of any other amount, the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount, and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, (ii) in the case of a Borrower, (1) if such amount is a Borrowing made to the U.S. Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans, (2) if such amount is a Borrowing made in U.S. Dollars to the Canadian Borrower, the interest rate applicable to U.S. Base Rate Loans, (3) if such amount is a B/A Drawing or a Canadian Dollar-denominated Borrowing made to the Canadian Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Canadian Base Rate Loans and (4) if such amount is a Borrowing made to the Dutch Borrower or a U.K. Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the applicable Base Rate Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing or such Lender’s purchase of B/As. If such Borrower pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute a reduction of such Borrowing or of the face amount of such B/As.

SECTION 2.08. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Each B/A Drawing shall have a Contract Period as specified in the applicable request therefor. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing or B/A Drawing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing or B/A Drawing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section, it being understood that no B/A Drawing may be converted or continued other than at the end of the Contract Period applicable thereto. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing or B/A Drawing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing or accepting B/As comprising such B/A Drawing, as the case may be, and the Loans or B/As resulting from an election made with respect to any such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing or B/A Drawing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, a Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election (as provided in Section 9.01 and, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Administrative Agent, in Schedule 2.03) by telephone (i) in the case of an election that would result in a Borrowing, by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election and (ii) in the case of an election that would result in a B/A Drawing or the continuation of a B/A Drawing, by the time that a request would be required under Section 2.06 if such Borrower were requesting an

acceptance and purchase of B/As to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the applicable Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no Borrower shall be permitted to (i) change the currency of any Borrowing, (ii) elect an Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d) or Contract Period for B/As that does not comply with 2.06(c)(iii) or (iii) convert any Borrowing or B/A Drawing to a Borrowing or B/A Drawing not available under the Class of Commitments pursuant to which such Borrowing or B/A Drawing was made.

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

(i) the Borrowing or B/A Drawing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing or B/A Drawing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing or B/A Drawing);

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

(iii) whether the resulting outstanding credit extension is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Eurocurrency Borrowing, a Base Rate Borrowing or a B/A Drawing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”, and in the case of an election of a B/A Drawing, the Contract Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Contract Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a B/A Drawing but does not specify an Interest Period or a Contract Period, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period or Contract Period, as applicable, of one month’s or 30 days’ duration, as applicable.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender to which such Interest Election Request relates of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing or B/A Drawing.

(e) If a Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a B/A Drawing prior to the end of the

Interest Period or Contract Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing or B/A Drawing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing or B/A Drawing shall (i) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars by the U.S. Borrower, be converted to an ABR Borrowing, (ii) in the case of a Borrowing by the Dutch Borrower or a U.K. Borrower, be continued as a Base Rate Borrowing, (iii) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars by the Canadian Borrower, be converted to a U.S. Base Rate Borrowing, and (iv) in the case of a Borrowing or B/A Drawing denominated in Canadian Dollars, be converted to a Canadian Base Rate Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the written request (including a request through electronic means) of the Required Lenders, so notifies the U.S. Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall (A) in the case of such a Borrowing by the U.S. Borrower, be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (B) in the case of such a Borrowing by the Canadian Borrower, be converted to a U.S. Base Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto or (C) in the case of such a Borrowing by the Dutch Borrower or a U.K. Borrower, be continued as a Base Rate Borrowing.

(f) Upon the conversion of any Canadian Tranche Borrowing (or portion thereof), or the continuation of any B/A Drawing (or portion thereof), to or as a B/A Drawing, the net amount that would otherwise be payable to the Canadian Borrower by each Lender pursuant to Section 2.06(f) in respect of such new B/A Drawing shall be applied against the principal of the Canadian Tranche Revolving Facility Loan made by such Lender as part of such Canadian Tranche Borrowing (in the case of a conversion), or the reimbursement obligation owed to such Lender under Section 2.06(i) in respect of the B/As accepted by such Lender as part of such maturing B/A Drawing (in the case of a continuation), and the Canadian Borrower shall pay to such Lender an amount equal to the difference between the principal amount of such Canadian Tranche Revolving Facility Loan or the aggregate face amount of such maturing B/As, as the case may be, and such net amount.

SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments; Return of Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits. (a) Unless previously terminated, (i) the Revolving Facility Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date, (ii) the Tranche C-1 Initial Term Loan Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, (iii) the Delayed Draw A Term Loan Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Delayed Draw A Expiration Date, (iv) the Tranche C-1 Delayed Draw B Term Loan Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Delayed Draw B Expiration Date, (v) the Tranche C-2 Term Loan Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date and (vi) the obligations of the Tranche C-3 Lenders to fund Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date.

(b) Any Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Tranche C-1 Delayed Draw A Term Loan Commitments, the Tranche C-1 Delayed Draw B Term Loan Commitments or the Commitments of any Tranche of the Revolving Facility Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1.0 million and not less than $5.0 million (or, if less, the remaining amount of any such Tranche of the Revolving Facility Commitments) and (ii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce any Tranche of the Revolving Facility Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Facility Loans in accordance with Section 2.12, (A) the total European Tranche Revolving Facility Exposure would exceed the total European Tranche Commitments, (B) the total Canadian Tranche Revolving Facility Exposure would exceed the total Canadian Tranche Commitments or (C) the total U.S. Tranche Revolving Facility Exposure would exceed the total U.S. Tranche Commitments. The U.S. Borrower may at any time or from time to time direct the Administrative Agent to reduce the Total Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit; provided that (i) each reduction of the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1.0 million and not less than $5.0 million (or, if less, the remaining amount of the Total Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit) and (ii) the U.S. Borrower shall not direct the Administrative Agent to reduce the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits if, after giving effect to such reduction (and to the provisions of Section 2.05(a)), the aggregate Tranche C-3 L/C Exposure would exceed the Total Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit or the European Tranche Revolving Facility Exposure would exceed the total European Tranche Commitments. In the event the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits shall be reduced as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will return all amounts in the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit Account in excess of the reduced Total Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit to the Tranche C-3 Lenders, ratably in accordance with their Tranche C-3 Percentages of the Total Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit (as determined immediately prior to such reduction).

(c) The applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Facility Commitments or the Total Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by a Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of any Tranche of the Revolving Facility Commitments or of a reduction of the Total Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit to zero delivered by a Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by such Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class or reduction of the Total Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

SECTION 2.10. Repayment of Loans and B/As; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Facility Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Facility Loan of such Lender to such Borrower on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date, (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender to such Borrower as provided in Section 2.11, (iii) in the case of the Canadian Borrower, to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the face amount of each B/A, if any, accepted by such Lender from the Canadian Borrower as provided in Section 2.06(i), and (iv) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan to such Borrower on the earlier of (x) the Revolving Facility Maturity Date, (y) the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least five Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made and (z) in the case of a Swingline Loan to the Dutch Borrower or a U.K. Borrower, the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Swingline Loan; provided that on each date that a Revolving Facility Borrowing is made by the U.S. Borrower, the U.S. Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

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

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the currency thereof, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, and the amount of each B/A and the Contract Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest, or other amount in respect of any B/A, due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) any amount received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

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

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note (a “Note”). In such event, each Borrower under such Class shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender

and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the applicable Borrower. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.11. Repayment of Term Loans, B/As, Revolving Facility Loans and Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits. (a) (i) Subject to the other paragraphs of this Section, the U.S. Borrower shall repay Tranche C-1 Term Borrowings and the Dutch Borrower shall repay Tranche C-2 Term Borrowings on each date set forth below (x) in the case of Tranche C-1 Term Borrowings, in the aggregate principal amount equal to the product of (A) the percentage set forth below opposite such date and (B) the sum of (I) the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche C-1 Initial Term Loans made on the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date and (II) the aggregate principal amount of Tranche C-1 Delayed Draw Term Loans made on or prior to the Delayed Draw B Expiration Date set forth for such Borrowings opposite such date (each such date being referred to as a “Term Loan Installment Date”) and (y), in the case of Tranche C-2 Term Borrowings, in the aggregate principal amount equal to the product of (A) the percentage set forth below opposite such Term Loan Installment Date and (B) the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche C-2 Term Loans made on the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date:

To the extent not previously paid, outstanding Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Term Facility Maturity Date.

(ii) In the event that any Incremental Term Loans are made on an Increased Amount Date, the U.S. Borrower shall repay such Incremental Term Loans on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the Incremental Assumption Agreement.

(b) To the extent not previously paid, outstanding Revolving Facility Loans shall be due and payable on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date; provided that any Other Revolving Facility Loans shall be due and payable as set forth in the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement.

(i) all Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 2.12(b) and Excess Cash Flow pursuant to Section 2.12(c) to be applied to prepay Term Borrowings of any Class shall be applied (1) to reduce in order of maturity the next eight unpaid scheduled amortization payments under paragraph (a) above in respect of the Term Borrowings of such Class, and (2) thereafter, to reduce on a pro rata basis (based on the amount of such amortization payments) the remaining scheduled amortization payments in respect of the Term Borrowings of such Class.

(ii) any optional prepayments of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.12(a) shall be applied to the remaining installments thereof as directed by the U.S. Borrower.

(d) Prior to any repayment of any Borrowing or amounts owing in respect of outstanding B/A Drawings, or any reduction of Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits, hereunder, the applicable Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings, B/A Drawing or B/A Drawings and/or Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits to be repaid or reduced and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection (i) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, a Base Rate Borrowing or a B/A Drawing, not later than 12:00 p.m., Local Time, one Business Day before the scheduled date of such repayment and (ii) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing or Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, three Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment or reduction. Any mandatory prepayment of Term Borrowings shall be applied so that the aggregate amount of such prepayment is allocated among the Tranche C-1 Term Borrowings, Tranche C-2 Term Borrowings and Other Term Loans of each Class, if any, pro rata based on the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Borrowings of each such Class. In the case of prepayments under

Section 2.12(a), the Borrowers may in their sole discretion select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid. Each repayment of a Borrowing or amounts owing in respect of outstanding B/A Drawings shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing or the B/As included in such B/A Drawing and each reduction of the Total Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit shall be applied ratably to the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits of the Tranche C-3 Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding sentence, prior to any repayment of a Swingline Borrowing hereunder, the U.S. Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than 12:00 p.m., Local Time, on the scheduled date of such repayment. Repayments of Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.11 (including the amortization schedule set forth above), if the original Term Facility Maturity Date and the original Revolving Facility Maturity Date shall be changed to an earlier date pursuant to the provisos to the definitions of the terms Term Facility Maturity Date and Revolving Facility Maturity Date, then, to the extent not previously paid, outstanding Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans, B/As and Swingline Loans shall be due and payable on such earlier date; provided that any Other Revolving Facility Loans and Other Term Loans shall be due and payable as set forth in the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement.

(f) Amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section or Section 7.01 to prepay or repay amounts to become due with respect to outstanding B/As shall be deposited in the Prepayment Account (as defined below). On the last day of the Contract Period of each B/A to be prepaid or repaid, the Administrative Agent shall apply any cash on deposit in the Prepayment Account to amounts due in respect of the relevant B/As until all amounts due in respect of the relevant outstanding B/As have been satisfied (with any remaining funds being returned to the Canadian Borrower) or until all the allocable cash on deposit has been exhausted. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Prepayment Account” shall mean an account established by the Canadian Borrower with the Administrative Agent and over which the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal for application in accordance with this paragraph (f). The Administrative Agent will, at the request of the Canadian Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to invest amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account in short-term, cash equivalent investments selected by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Canadian Borrower that mature prior to the last day of the applicable Contract Periods of the B/As to be prepaid; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to invest amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Canadian Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for any losses relating to the investments made at the request or direction of the Canadian Borrower so that the amount available to prepay amounts due in respect of

B/As on the last day of the applicable Contract Period is not less than the amount that would have been available had no investments been made pursuant thereto. Other than any interest earned on such investments (which shall be for the account of the Canadian Borrower, to the extent not necessary for the prepayment of B/As in accordance with this Section), the Prepayment Account shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall be deposited in the Prepayment Account and reinvested and disbursed as specified above. If the maturity of the Loans and all amounts due hereunder has been accelerated pursuant to Section 7.01, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, apply all amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account to satisfy any of the Obligations of the Canadian Borrower in respect of Canadian Tranche Loans and B/As (and the Canadian Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent a security interest in the Prepayment Account to secure such Obligations).

(g) The Administrative Agent shall return Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits in the aggregate amount of $500,000 to the Tranche C-3 Lenders on June 30 of each year, beginning on June 30, 2006. To the extent not previously returned, all Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits shall be returned to the Tranche C-3 Lenders on the Tranche C-3 Maturity Date. Any optional return of Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits effected pursuant to Section 2.09 shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled returns of Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits to be effected pursuant to this Section as directed by the U.S. Borrower. Each return of Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits pursuant to this Section 2.11(g) shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount of Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits paid to but excluding the date of return.

SECTION 2.12. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.17), in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum or, if less, the amount outstanding, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 2.11(d).

(b) The U.S. Borrower shall apply all Net Proceeds promptly upon receipt thereof to prepay Term Borrowings in accordance with paragraphs (c) and (d) of Section 2.11; provided that the U.S. Borrower shall not be required so to apply cash proceeds that constitute Net Proceeds pursuant to clause (b) of the definition thereof to prepay Term Borrowings if, on the date of receipt thereof, and after giving effect to the incurrence, issuance or sale of Indebtedness that produces such Net Proceeds on a Pro Forma Basis, the Senior Secured Bank Leverage Ratio on the last day of the U.S. Borrower’s then most recently completed fiscal quarter for which financial statements are available shall be less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00.

(c) Not later than 90 days after the end of each Excess Cash Flow Period (commencing with the Excess Cash Flow Period beginning on January 1, 2007), the U.S. Borrower shall calculate Excess Cash Flow for such Excess Cash Flow Period and shall apply an amount equal to the amount by which (A) the

Required Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow exceeds (B) the aggregate principal amount of voluntary prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and permanent voluntary reductions of Revolving Facility Commitments pursuant to Section 2.09(b) to the extent that an equal amount of Revolving Facility Loans was simultaneously repaid pursuant to Section 2.12(a), in each case during such Excess Cash Flow Period, to prepay Term Borrowings in accordance with paragraphs (c) and (d) of Section 2.11. Not later than the date on which the U.S. Borrower is required to deliver financial statements with respect to the end of each Excess Cash Flow Period under Section 5.04(a), the U.S. Borrower will deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the U.S. Borrower setting forth the amount, if any, of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year and the calculation thereof in reasonable detail.

(d) (i) In the event and on such occasion that (A) the total European Tranche Revolving Facility Exposure exceeds the total European Tranche Commitments, (B) the total Canadian Tranche Revolving Facility Exposure exceeds the total Canadian Tranche Commitments or (C) the total U.S. Tranche Revolving Facility Exposure exceeds the total U.S. Tranche Commitments, the Borrowers under the applicable Tranche shall prepay Revolving Borrowings or Swingline Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(j)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided that if such excess arises solely as a result of currency rate fluctuations, such prepayment or deposit, as the case may be, shall not be required to be made until the third Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have delivered to the Borrowers written notice of such required prepayment or deposit.

SECTION 2.13. Fees. (a) The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender in respect of a Tranche of Revolving Loans (other than any Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, three Business Days after the last day of March, June, September and December in each year, and three Business Days after the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments of all the Lenders in respect of such Tranche shall be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) on the daily amount of the Available Unused Commitment of such Lender attributable to such Tranche during the preceding quarter (or other period ending with the date on which the last of the Commitments of such Lender in respect of such Tranche shall be terminated) at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum. All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. For the purpose of calculating any Lender’s Commitment Fee, the outstanding Swingline Loans during the period for which such Lender’s Commitment Fee is calculated shall be deemed to be zero. The Commitment Fee due to each Lender in respect of any Tranche of Revolving Loans shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date and shall cease to accrue on the date on which the last of the Commitments of such Lender in respect of such Tranche shall be terminated as provided herein. For purposes of computing the average daily amount of any Revolving L/C Exposure for any period under this Section 2.13(a)(i) and under Section 2.13(b), the average daily amount of

100

Alternative Currency Revolving L/C Exposure for such period shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the average daily balance of each Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (expressed in the currency in which such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit is denominated) by (ii) the Exchange Rate for the Alternative Currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated in effect on the last Business Day of such period or by such other reasonable method that the Administrative Agent deems appropriate. Any Commitment Fee paid in respect of the Canadian Tranche (i) shall be paid to each Canadian Tranche Lender’s Canadian Lending Office to the extent paid by the Canadian Borrower and (ii) shall be paid to each Canadian Tranche Lender’s U.S. Lending Office to the extent paid by the U.S. Borrower.

(i) The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay to each Tranche C-1 Lender, through the Administrative Agent, a commitment fee, three Business Days after the last day of March, June, September and December in each year, and three business Days after the date on which the Tranche C-1 Delayed Draw A Term Loan Commitments of all the Tranche C-1 Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, which shall accrue at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum, on the average daily unused amount of the Tranche C-1 Delayed Draw A Term Loan Commitment of such Tranche C-1 Lender during the period from and including the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date to the Delayed Draw A Expiration Date.

(ii) The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay to each Tranche C-1 Lender, through the Administrative Agent, a commitment fee, three Business Days after the last day of March, June, September and December in each year, and three Business Days after the date on which the Tranche C-1 Delayed Draw B Term Loan Commitments of all the Tranche C-1 Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, which shall accrue at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum, on the average daily unused amount of the Tranche C-1 Delayed Draw B Term Loan Commitment of such Tranche C-1 Lender during the period from and including the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date to the Delayed Draw B Expiration Date.

(b) The U.S. Borrower from time to time agrees to pay (i) to each Revolving Facility Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) in respect of a Tranche, through the Administrative Agent, three Business Days after the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and three Business Days after the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments in respect of such Tranche of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (an “L/C Participation Fee”) on such Lender’s Tranche Percentage of the daily aggregate Revolving L/C Exposure with respect to such Tranche (excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed Revolving L/C Disbursements), during the preceding quarter (or shorter period ending with the Revolving Facility Maturity Date or the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments in respect of such Tranche shall be terminated) at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowings effective for each day in such period (provided

101

that, solely in respect of the CIGNA L/C, such rate per annum shall be equal to such Applicable Margin minus 0.50%) and (ii) to each Issuing Bank in respect of any Tranche of the Revolving Facility, for its own account, (x) three Business Days after the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and three Business Days after the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments in respect of such Tranche of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a fronting fee in respect of each Revolving Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Revolving Letter of Credit to and including the termination of such Revolving Letter of Credit, computed at a rate equal to 1/4 of 1% per annum of the daily average stated amount of such Revolving Letter of Credit (or as otherwise agreed with such Issuing Bank), plus (y) in connection with the issuance, amendment or transfer of any such Letter of Credit or any Revolving L/C Disbursement thereunder, such Issuing Bank’s customary documentary and processing charges (collectively, “Issuing Bank Fees”). All L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees that are payable on a per annum basis shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

(c) The Canadian Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Canadian Tranche Lender, on each date on which B/As drawn by the Canadian Borrower are accepted hereunder, in Canadian Dollars, an acceptance fee computed by multiplying the face amount of each such B/A by the product of (i) the Applicable Margin for B/A Drawings on such date and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Contract Period applicable to such B/A and the denominator of which is 365.

(d) The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay (i) in addition to the fees payable to the Tranche C-3 Lenders pursuant to Section 2.23(b), to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Tranche C-3 Lender, three Business Days after the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and three Business Days after the date on which the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit shall be terminated as provided herein, a participation fee with respect to its participations in Tranche C-3 Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect in respect of Eurocurrency Term Loans on the daily amount of such Tranche C-3 Lender’s Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit during the period from and including the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the date on which the entire amount of such Lender’s Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit is returned to it and (ii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, (x) three Business Days after the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and three Business Days after the date on which the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits shall be terminated as provided herein, a fronting fee in respect of each Tranche C-3 Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Tranche C-3 Letter of Credit to and including the termination of such Tranche C-3 Letter of Credit, computed at a rate equal to 1/4 of 1% per annum of the daily average stated amount of such Tranche C-3 Letter of Credit (or as otherwise agreed with such Issuing Bank), plus (y) in connection with the issuance, amendment or transfer of any such Letter of

102

Credit or any Tranche C-3 L/C Disbursement thereunder, such Issuing Bank’s customary documentary and processing charges; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits are returned to the Tranche C-3 Lenders and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits are returned to the Tranche C-3 Lenders shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees in respect of Tranche C-3 Letters of Credit that are payable on a per annum basis shall be computed on the basis of the number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

(e) The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Administrative Agent, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter dated as of April 26, 2006, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, at the times specified therein (the “Administrative Agent Fees”).

(f) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Banks. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.14. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan to the U.S. Borrower) shall bear interest at the ABR plus the Applicable Margin, the Loans comprising each U.S. Base Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at the U.S. Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, the Loans comprising each Canadian Base Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at the Canadian Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin and the Loans comprising each other Base Rate Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan to the Dutch Borrower or a U.K. Borrower) shall bear interest at the applicable Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or Tranche C-3 L/C Disbursements or any Fees or other amount payable by the applicable Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section, (ii) in the case of overdue unreimbursed amounts with respect to any Tranche C-3 L/C Disbursement, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Tranche C-3 L/C Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(h) or (iii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the interest rate that would have applied had such amount, during the period of non-payment, constituted (A) in the case of an amount owed by the U.S. Borrower, an ABR Loan or (B) in the

103

case of any other amount, a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower that owes such amount in the currency of the overdue amount; provided that this paragraph (c) shall not apply to any Event of Default that has been waived by the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.08.

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

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

(f) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day or 365-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or 365, as the case may be. The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.15. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in any currency or, with respect to the Benchmark LIBOR Rate, on any day:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted

104

Eurocurrency Rate, the LIBO Rate or the EURO LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such currency for such Interest Period or the Benchmark LIBOR Rate for such day, as applicable; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders or the Majority Lenders under any Tranche that the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, the LIBO Rate or the EURO LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such currency for such Interest Period or the Benchmark LIBOR Rate for such day, as applicable, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing or such Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit, as applicable, for such Interest Period or such day, as applicable;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in such currency shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to or continued as on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (A) if such Borrowing is a Borrowing by the U.S. Borrower, an ABR Borrowing, and (B) if such Borrowing is a Borrowing by the Dutch Borrower or a U.K. Borrower, or a Canadian Tranche Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars, a Base Rate Borrowing, (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in such currency, (A) if such Borrowing is a Borrowing by the U.S. Borrower, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing, and (B) if such Borrowing is a Borrowing by the Dutch Borrower or a U.K. Borrower, or a Canadian Tranche Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars, a Base Rate Borrowing and (iii) the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits shall be invested so as to earn a return equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

SECTION 2.16. Increased Costs. Except for Taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.18: (a) If any Change in Law shall:

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

(ii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans or B/A Drawings made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein or any Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit;

105

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan or obtaining funds for the purchase of B/As (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or to accept and purchase B/As) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or any Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, or Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits of, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the U.S. Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Promptly after any Lender or any Issuing Bank has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.16, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall notify the U.S. Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, notifies the U.S. Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

106

SECTION 2.17. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20 or the CAM Exchange, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to be the amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue a Eurocurrency Loan, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to such Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Such Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

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

(b) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.23(b) hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the Administrative Agent shall so notify the U.S. Borrower and advise it of the additional amount required to be paid

107

so that the sum payable by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.23(b) after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) to the Tranche C-3 Lenders is an amount from the Administrative Agent equal to the sum they would have received from the Administrative Agent had no deductions been made, (ii) the U.S. Borrower shall pay such additional amount to the Administrative Agent, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall make all required deductions, (iv) the Administrative Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (v) the U.S. Borrower shall indemnify, within 10 days after written demand therefor, the Administrative Agent for the full amount of any deductions paid by the Administrative Agent with respect to any payments made on account of any obligation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.23(b).

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

(d) Each Loan Party shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Documents (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Loan Party by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf, on behalf of another Agent or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(f) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower under a Tranche in which such Lender participates 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 Administrative Agent), to the extent such Lender is legally entitled to do so, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or as may reasonably be requested by such Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law to permit such payments to be made without such withholding tax or at a reduced rate; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation under this paragraph (e) with respect to any

108

withholding Tax imposed by any jurisdiction other than the United States if in the reasonable judgment of such Lender such compliance would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect.

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

SECTION 2.19. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) Unless otherwise specified, each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, face amount of B/As, interest, fees or reimbursement of L/C Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to such Borrower by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to the applicable Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 9.05 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document of principal or interest in respect of any Loan or amounts owing in respect of any B/A Drawing (or of any breakage indemnity in respect of any Loan or B/A Drawing) shall be made in the

109

currency of such Loan or B/A Drawing; all other payments hereunder and under each other Loan Document shall be made in U.S. Dollars, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

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

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans, amounts owing in respect of B/A Drawings or participations in L/C Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans, amounts owing in respect of B/A Drawings and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon under any Tranche than the proportion received by any other Lender under such Tranche, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans, amounts owing in respect of B/A Drawings and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders under such Tranche to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders under such Tranche ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans, amounts owing in respect of B/A Drawings and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans under such Tranche; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so

110

under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of (A) (1) in the case of Loans to the U.S. Borrower, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, (2) in the case of any other Loans or amounts owing in respect of B/A Drawings, the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount, (3) in the case of any other amounts denominated in U.S. Dollars, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and (4) in the case of any other amount denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount, and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.07(b) or 2.19(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.20. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.23, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans or Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.16, 2.18 or 2.23, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The applicable Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

111

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.23, or is a Defaulting Lender, then the U.S. Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the U.S. Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, amounts owing in respect of B/A Drawings and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal, amounts owing in respect of B/A Drawings and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.16 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.23, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. Nothing in this Section 2.20 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that a Borrower may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.

(c) If any Lender (i) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that pursuant to the terms of Section 9.08 requires the consent of all the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent or (ii) was in breach of its representation made pursuant to Section 9.22 (any such Lender referred to in clause (i) or (ii), a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then provided no Event of Default then exists, the U.S. Borrower shall have the right (unless in the case of clause (i) such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans, Commitments and unreimbursed Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that: (a) all Obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In connection with any such assignment the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04.

SECTION 2.21. Incremental Commitments. (a) The U.S. Borrower or the Dutch Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments in an amount not to exceed the Incremental Amount from one or more Incremental Term Lenders and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Lenders (which

may include any existing Lender) willing to provide such Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Loans, as the case may be, in their own discretion; provided that each Incremental Term Lender and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $1.0 million and a minimum amount of $25.0 million or equal to the remaining Incremental Amount), (ii) the date on which such Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments are requested to become effective (the “Increased Amount Date”) and (iii) (a) whether such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are to be Tranche C-1 Term Loan Commitments, Tranche C-2 Term Loan Commitments or commitments to make term loans with pricing and/or amortization terms different from the Tranche C-1 Term Loans and the Tranche C-2 Term Loans (“Other Term Loans”) and/or (b) whether such Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments are to be Canadian Tranche Commitments, European Tranche Commitments, U.S. Tranche Commitments or commitments to make revolving loans with pricing and/or amortization terms different from the Canadian Tranche Revolving Facility Loans, European Tranche Revolving Facility Loans and U.S. Tranche Revolving Facility Loans (“Other Revolving Facility Loans”).

(b) The U.S. Borrower and each Incremental Term Lender and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such Incremental Term Lender and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment of such Incremental Revolving Facility Lender. Each Incremental Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of the Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Loans to be made thereunder; provided that (i) the Other Term Loans and Other Revolving Facility Loans shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and of security with the Tranche C-1 Term Loans, Tranche C-2 Term Loans and Revolving Facility Loans and (except as to pricing and amortization) shall have the same terms as the Tranche C-1 Term Loans or Tranche C-2 Term Loans, as applicable, (ii) the final maturity date of (a) any Other Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date and/or (b) any Other Revolving Facility Loans shall be no earlier than the Revolving Facility Maturity Date; provided that any Other Term Loans and Other Revolving Facility Loans may provide for an acceleration of their maturity to an Early Maturity Test Date if, on such Early Maturity Test Date, the aggregate principal amount of Early Maturity Notes that mature within 91 days after such Early Maturity Test Date exceeds $200.0 million, (iii) the weighted average life to maturity of any Other Term Loans shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans and (iv) the Other Revolving Facility Loans shall require no scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reductions prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date; provided further that the interest rate margin (which shall be deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable to all Lenders providing such Other Term Loan and/or Other

113

Revolving Facility Loan) in respect of any Other Term Loan and/or Other Revolving Facility Loan shall be the same as that applicable to the Term Loans and/or the Revolving Facility Loans; except that the interest rate margin in respect of any Other Term Loan and/or Other Revolving Facility Loan (which shall be deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable to all Lenders providing such Other Term Loan and/or Other Revolving Facility Loan) may exceed the Applicable Margin for the Term Loans and/or the Revolving Facility Loans (which shall, for such purposes only, be deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable to all Lenders providing such Other Term Loan and/or Other Revolving Facility Loan), respectively, by no more than ¹/2 of 1% (it being understood that any such increase may take the form of original issue discount (“OID”), with OID being equated to the interest rates in a manner reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent based on an assumed four-year life to maturity), or if it does so exceed such Applicable Margin (which shall, for such purposes only, be deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable to all Lenders providing such Other Term Loan and/or Other Revolving Facility Loan), such Applicable Margin shall be increased so that the interest rate margin in respect of such Other Term Loan or Other Revolving Facility Loan, as the case may be (which shall be deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable to all Lenders providing such Other Term Loan and/or Other Revolving Facility Loan), is no more than ¹/2 of 1% higher than the Applicable Margin for the Term Loans or the Revolving Facility Loans, respectively (which shall, for such purposes only, be deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable to all Lenders providing such Other Term Loan and/or Other Revolving Facility Loan). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Assumption Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments evidenced thereby as provided for in Section 9.08(e). Any such deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the U.S. Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.21 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 4.01 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the U.S. Borrower, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates and documentation as required by the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement and consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.02 of the 2005 Credit Agreement and such additional documents and filings (including amendments to the Mortgages and other Security Documents and title endorsement bringdowns) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require

114

to assure that the Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Loans are secured by the Collateral ratably with (or, to the extent agreed by the applicable Incremental Term Lenders or Incremental Revolving Facility Lenders in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, junior to) the existing Term Loans and Revolving Facility Loans and (iii) the U.S. Borrower would be in Pro Forma Compliance after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments and the Loans to be made thereunder and the application of the proceeds therefrom as if made and applied on such date.

(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Loans (other than Other Term Loans or Other Revolving Facility Loans), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans or Revolving Facility Loans under the same Tranche on a pro rata basis, and the Borrowers agree that Section 2.17 shall apply to any conversion of Eurocurrency Loans to ABR Loans or Base Rate Loans reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to effect the foregoing.

SECTION 2.22. Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any change in law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Loans or to convert ABR Borrowings or Base Rate Borrowings to Eurocurrency Borrowings shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), either convert all Eurocurrency Borrowings of such Lender to ABR Borrowings or Base Rate Borrowings, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

SECTION 2.23. Credit-Linked Deposit Account. (a) The Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits shall be held by the Administrative Agent in the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit Account, and no party other than the Administrative Agent shall have a right of withdrawal from the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit Account or any other right or power with respect to the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits, except as expressly set forth in Section 2.05, 2.09 or 2.12. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the sole funding obligation of each Tranche C-3 Lender in respect of its participation in Tranche C-3 Letters of Credit shall be satisfied in full upon the funding of its Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit on the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date.

115

(b) Each of the U.S. Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank issuing any Tranche C-3 Letter of Credit and each Tranche C-3 Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Tranche C-3 Lender is funding its Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit to the Administrative Agent for application in the manner contemplated by Section 2.05 and that the Administrative Agent has agreed to invest the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits so as to earn a return (except during periods when, and to the extent to which, such Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits are used to cover unreimbursed Tranche C-3 L/C Disbursements, and subject to Section 2.15) for the Tranche C-3 Lenders equal to a rate per annum, reset daily on each Business Day for the period until the next following Business Day, equal to (i) such day’s rate for one month LIBOR deposits (the “Benchmark LIBOR Rate”) computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) minus (ii) 0.10%. Such interest will be paid to the Tranche C-3 Lenders by the Administrative Agent quarterly in arrears when Letter of Credit fees are payable pursuant to Section 2.13. In addition to the foregoing payments by the Administrative Agent, the U.S. Borrower agrees to make payments to the Tranche C-3 Lenders quarterly in arrears when Letter of Credit fees are payable pursuant to Section 2.13 (and together with the payment of such fees) in an amount equal to 0.10% per annum on the amounts of their respective Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits.

(c) The U.S. Borrower shall have no right, title or interest in or to the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits and no obligations with respect thereto (except for the reimbursement obligations provided in Section 2.05 and the obligation to pay fees as provided in this Section 2.23), it being acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that the making of the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits by the Tranche C-3 Lenders, the provisions of this Section 2.23 and the application of the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits in the manner contemplated by the Amendment and Restatement Agreement and Section 2.05 constitute agreements among the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank issuing any Tranche C-3 Letter of Credit and each Tranche C-3 Lender with respect to the funding obligations of each Tranche C-3 Lender in respect of its participation in Tranche C-3 Letters of Credit and do not constitute any loan or extension of credit to the U.S. Borrower.

(d) Subject to the U.S. Borrower’s compliance with the cash-collateralization requirements set forth in Section 2.05(j), the Administrative Agent shall return any remaining Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits to the Tranche C-3 Lenders following the occurrence of the Tranche C-3 Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.24. Additional Reserve Costs. (a) If and so long as any Lender is required to make special deposits with the Bank of England, to maintain reserve asset ratios or to pay fees, in each case in respect of such Lender’s Loans, such Lender may require the relevant Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Loans, additional interest on such Loans at a rate per annum equal to the Mandatory Costs Rate calculated in accordance with the formula and in the manner set forth in Exhibit G, provided that no Lender may request the payment of any amount under this paragraph to the extent resulting from a requirement imposed (other

116

than as provided in Section 2.16) on such Lender by any Governmental Authority (and not on Lenders or any class of Lenders generally) in respect of a concern expressed by such Governmental Authority with such Lender specifically, including with respect to its financial health.

(b) If and so long as any Lender is required to comply with reserve assets, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of any monetary or other authority (including any such requirement imposed by the European Central Bank or the European System of Central Banks, but excluding requirements reflected in the Mandatory Costs Rate) in respect of any of such Lender’s Loans such Lender may require the relevant Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Lender’s Loans subject to such requirements, additional interest on such Loans at a rate per annum specified by such Lender to be the cost to such Lender of complying with such requirements in relation to such Loans, provided that no Lender may request the payment of any amount under this paragraph to the extent resulting from a requirement imposed (other than as provided in Section 2.16) on such Lender by any Governmental Authority (and not on Lenders or any class of Lenders generally) in respect of a concern expressed by such Governmental Authority with such Lender specifically, including with respect to its financial health.

(c) Any additional interest owed pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be determined by the relevant Lender, acting in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and notified to the relevant Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least five Business Days before each date on which interest is payable for the relevant Loans, and such additional interest so notified to the relevant Borrower by such Lender shall be payable to such Lender on each date on which interest is payable for such Loans.

(i) The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet (the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet”) and the related pro forma combined statement of operations (the “Pro Forma Income Statement” and, together with the Pro Forma Balance Sheet, the “Pro Forma Financial Statements”) of the U.S. Borrower, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, as at December 31, 2005, and for the twelve months then ended (in each case including the notes thereto), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender (via inclusion in the Information Memorandum), have been prepared giving effect to the Transactions and the contemplated initial public offering of common stock of the U.S. Borrower as set forth in the Information Memorandum (as if such events had occurred, in the case of the Pro Forma Balance Sheet, on such date and, in the case of the Pro Forma Income Statement, on the first date of such twelve-month period). The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared in good faith based on assumptions believed by Holdings and the U.S. Borrower to have been reasonable as of the date of delivery thereof (it being understood that such assumptions are based on good faith estimates of certain items and that the actual amount of such items is subject to change). The Pro Forma Balance Sheet presents fairly in all material respects on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of the U.S. Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries as at December 31, 2005, assuming that the events specified in the second preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date, and the Pro Forma Income Statement presents fairly in all material respects on a pro forma basis the results of operations of U.S. Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries for such twelve-month period, assuming that the events specified in the second preceding sentence had actually occurred on the first day of such twelve-month period.

(ii) The financial statements (other than the Pro Forma Financial Statements) set forth in the Registration Statement on Form S-1 of the U.S. Borrower filed with the SEC and as amended prior to the date hereof present fairly the financial condition and results of operations of each of the Combined Group, the Canadian Borrower, the U.S. Borrower, RSM and the German Guarantor, as applicable, as of and on such dates set forth on such financial statements (subject, in the case of interim financial statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). All such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved

119

(subject to (i) in the case of interim financial statements, normal year-end adjustments, (ii) adjustments, reclassifications and exceptions set forth in the 2005 Transaction Agreement and the schedules and exhibits thereto and (iii) in the case of interim financial statements, the absence of notes) except as disclosed therein.

(b) None of the U.S. Borrower or the Subsidiaries has any material Guarantees, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the financial statements referred to in the preceding clauses (a)(i) and (ii).

All such properties and assets held in fee simple are free and clear of Liens, other than Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02 or arising by operation of law.

(b) Each of the U.S. Borrower and the Subsidiaries has complied with all obligations under all leases to which it is a party, except where the failure to comply would not reasonably be considered to have Material Adverse Effect, and all such leases are in full force and effect, except leases in respect of which the failure to be in full force and effect could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.07(b), each of the U.S. Borrower and each of the Subsidiaries enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under all such leases, other than leases in respect of which the failure to enjoy peaceful and undisturbed possession could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Each of the U.S. Borrower and the Subsidiaries owns or possesses, or could obtain ownership or possession of or rights under, on terms not materially adverse to it, all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and rights with respect thereto necessary for the present conduct of its business, without any conflict (of which the U.S. Borrower has been notified in writing) with the rights of others, and free from any burdensome restrictions on the present conduct of the their businesses, except where such conflicts and restrictions could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

Neither any Agent or its Affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

SECTION 8.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Holdings (prior to a Qualified IPO) or the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of

174

assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

SECTION 8.05. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender, Holdings (prior to a Qualified IPO) or the U.S. Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative 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 interests of the Lenders.

SECTION 8.06. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any 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 credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender

175

with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

SECTION 8.07. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Holdings or the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of Holdings or the Borrowers to do so), in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments hereunder), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 8.08. Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, purchase and accept B/As from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued, or Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan participated in, by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

SECTION 8.09. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the U.S. Borrower; provided that such resignation shall not affect the rights of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Parallel Debt U.S. Obligations and the Parallel Debt Foreign Obligations and the Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such rights until the effective assignment thereof by the Administrative Agent to its successor agent. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Sections 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the U.S. Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former

176

Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent will reasonably cooperate in assigning its rights under the Parallel Debt U.S. Obligations and the Parallel Debt Foreign Obligations to any such successor agent and will reasonably cooperate in transferring all rights under the Dutch Security Documents to such successor agent.

SECTION 8.10. Agents and Arrangers. None of the Agents or the Joint Lead Arrangers shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.

SECTION 8.11. Additional Intercreditor Agreements. The Administrative Agent shall be authorized to enter into, from time to time on and after the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, without the consent of any Lender, amendments to, and amendments and restatements of, any Intercreditor Agreement and additional and replacement intercreditor agreements, in each case in order to effect the subordination of, and to provide for certain additional rights, obligations and limitations in respect of, any Liens required by the terms of this Agreement to be Second-Priority Liens that are incurred in accordance with Article VI of this Agreement, and to establish certain relative rights as between the holders of the Obligations (as defined in the Collateral Agreement) and the holders of the Indebtedness secured by such Second-Priority Liens; provided that the terms of such subordination and such rights, obligations, limitations and relative rights are not materially less favorable to the Lenders than those set forth in the Closing Date Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement (or, if the Indebtedness secured by such Second-Priority Liens is Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of the Existing RPP 8% Notes, not materially less favorable to the Lenders than those set forth in the Closing Date First Lien Intercreditor Agreement).

SECTION 8.12. Certain German Matters. In relation to the German Security Documents the following additional provisions shall apply: (a) The Administrative Agent shall hold and administer any German Security that is security assigned (Sicherungseigentum/ Sicherungsabtretung) or otherwise transferred under an non-accessory security right (nicht akzessorische Sicherheit) to it as trustee (Treuhänder) for the benefit of the Secured Parties; and administer any German Security that is pledged (Verpfändung) or otherwise transferred to a Secured Party under an accessory security right (akzessorische Sicherheit) as agent, (b) each of the Secured Parties hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (whether or not by or through employees or agents): (i) to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to or conferred upon the Administrative Agent by the German Security Documents

177

together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto; (ii) to take such action on its behalf as may from time to time be authorized under or in accordance with the German Security Documents; and (iii) to accept as its representative (Stellvertreter) any pledge or other creation of any accessory right made to such Secured Party in relation to the Loan Documents, (c) the Administrative Agent shall be exempted from the restrictions of Section 181 of the German Civil Code, and (d) none of the Secured Parties shall have any independent power to enforce any of the German Security Documents or to exercise any rights, discretions or powers or to grant any consents or releases under or pursuant to any of the German Security Documents or otherwise have direct recourse to the security constituted by any of the German Security Documents except through the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8.13. Certain Canadian Matters. For greater certainty, and without limiting the powers of the Administrative Agent or any other person acting as an agent or mandatary for such agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, Holdings and each of the Borrowers hereby acknowledge that, for purposes of holding any security granted by any Loan Party on property pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure obligations of any Borrower or any other Loan Party under any bond or debenture issued by any Borrower or any other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent is and shall be the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec) for all present and future Secured Parties, and in particular for all present and future holders of any such bond or debenture. Each Agent, Lender, Issuing Bank and Joint Lead Arranger, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates that may from time to time be Secured Parties (each, an “Appointer”) hereby: (i) irrevocably constitutes, ratifies and confirms, to the extent necessary, the Administrative Agent as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec) in order to hold hypothecs and security granted by any Borrower or any other Loan Party on property pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure obligations of any Borrower or any other Loan Party under any bond issued by any Borrower or any other Loan Party; and (ii) appoints, ratifies and confirms and agrees that the Administrative Agent may act as the bondholder or debentureholder and mandatary, custodian and depository with respect to any bond or debenture that may be issued by any Borrower or any Loan Party and pledged in their favor from time to time. Each assignee of an Appointer on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates that may from time to time be Secured Parties shall be deemed to have confirmed and ratified the constitution of the Administrative Agent as the holder of such irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) and shall be deemed to have confirmed and ratified the constitution of the Administrative Agent as bondholder or debentureholder and mandatary, custodian and depositary with respect to any bond or debenture that may be issued by any Borrower or any Loan Party and pledged from time to time in favor of the Administrative Agent by the execution of an Assignment and Acceptance or by otherwise becoming a party hereto. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 32 of the An Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Quebec), the Administrative Agent may acquire and be the holder of any bond or debenture issued by any Borrower or any other Loan Party (i.e., the fondé de pouvoir may acquire and hold the first bond or debenture issued under any deed of hypothec by any Borrower or any Loan Party). Each Borrower and each Loan Party hereby acknowledge that such bond or debenture constitutes a title of indebtedness, as such term is used in Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec.

178

SECTION 8.14. Foreign Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and for the avoidance of doubt, no Foreign Loan Party shall provide, or be deemed to provide, any Guarantee of or security for any Obligation (as defined in the Collateral Agreement) of any Domestic Loan Party. Notwithstanding anything in this agreement or in any other Loan Document, and for the avoidance of doubt, no Domestic Loan Party shall provide, or be deemed to provide, security for the Dutch Term Loan Obligations.

SECTION 8.15. Certain Italian Matters. Each of the Secured Parties (other than the Administrative Agent) hereby appoints the Administrative Agent to act as its agent in connection herewith and each Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent) appoints the Administrative Agent as mandatario con rappresentanza (common representative) for the purposes of each Security Document governed by Italian law (each, an “Italian Security Document”) and as attorney in fact of each of the Secured Parties for the purposes described below and grants the Administrative Agent the powers to enter into and execute, in the name and on behalf of each of the Secured Parties, each Italian Security Document and each Secured Party authorizes the Administrative Agent in each such capacity to exercise such rights, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and each Italian Security Document together with all rights, powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto (including any action in relation to the perfection, maintenance and enforcement of each Italian Security Document) or necessary to give effect to the agency hereby created and each of the Italian Security Documents) or necessary to give effect to the agency hereby created and each of the Secured Parties (other than the Administrative Agent) irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent on its behalf to enter into any and each Italian Security Document.

183

pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register.

Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (x) such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to 9.04(a)(i) or clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of the first proviso to Section 9.08(b) and (2) directly affects such Participant and (y) no other agreement with respect to such Participant may exist between such Lender and such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17 and 2.18 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.19(c) as though it were a Lender.

184

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the U.S. Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.18 to the extent such Participant fails to comply with Section 2.18(f) as though it were a Lender.

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

(e) The Borrowers, at their expense and upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agree to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 9.04(b). Each of Holdings, the Borrowers, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto and each Loan Party for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assignment may be made or participation sold to an Ineligible Institution without the prior written consent of the U.S. Borrower.

SECTION 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) Each Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or by the Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent in connection with the syndication of the Commitments or the administration of this Agreement (including expenses incurred in connection with due diligence, reasonable fees, disbursements and the charges for no more than one counsel in

185

each jurisdiction where Collateral is located) or in connection with the administration of this Agreement and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in connection with the Loans made or the Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath, Swaine & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent, and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel.

(b) The Borrowers agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, each Issuing Bank, each Lender their respective Affiliates and each of their respective directors, trustees, officers, employees and agents (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements (except the allocated costs of in-house counsel), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of any Letter of Credit or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (treating, for this purpose only, the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger, any Issuing Bank, any Lender and any of their respective Related Parties as a single Indemnitee). Subject to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Borrowers agree to indemnify each Indemnitee against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel or consultant fees, charges and disbursements (except the allocated costs of in-house counsel), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with or as a result of (a) any claim or liability related in any way to Environmental Laws and Holdings, the U.S. Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries, or (b) any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials at, under, on or from any property currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by any predecessor of Holdings, the U.S. Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties. The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the

186

expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested.

(c) Except as expressly provided in Section 9.05(a) with respect to Other Taxes, which shall not be duplicative with any amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.18, this Section 9.05 shall not apply to Taxes.

SECTION 9.06. Right of Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank 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 such Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of Holdings (prior to a Qualified IPO), any Borrower or any other Subsidiary against any of and all the obligations of Holdings (prior to a Qualified IPO) or any Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although the obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender and each Issuing Bank under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender or such Issuing Bank may have. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall exercise setoff rights with respect to the Canadian Borrower’s, the U.K. Borrower’s, or the Dutch Borrower’s assets and apply such proceeds to the Obligations of the U.S. Borrower hereunder.

SECTION 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 9.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by Holdings, any Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only

187

in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on Holdings, any Borrower or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle such person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified, except as provided in Section 2.21 or Section 8.11, or (x) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings (prior to a Qualified IPO), the Borrowers and the Required Lenders and (y) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each party thereto and the Administrative Agent and consented to by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall

(i) decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or extend the final maturity of, or decrease the rate of interest on, any Loan or any L/C Disbursement, or extend the date on which the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits are required to be returned in full to the Tranche C-3 Lenders, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, that any amendment to the financial covenant definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (i),

(ii) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender or decrease the Commitment Fees or L/C Participation Fees or other fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the Commitments of any Lender),

(iii) extend, waive or reduce the amount of any scheduled installment of principal or extend any date on which payment of interest on any Loan or any L/C Disbursement or any Fees is due, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby,

(iv) amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.19(b) or (c) in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby,

(v) amend or modify the provisions of this Section or the definition of the terms “Required Lenders” or “Majority Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Loans and Commitments are included on the Closing Date),

188

(vi) release all or substantially all the Collateral or release any of Holdings (prior to a Qualified IPO), any Borrower or any other Subsidiary Loan Party from its Guarantee under the U.S. Guarantee Agreement or the Foreign Guarantee Agreement, as applicable, unless, in the case of (1) Holdings, upon a Qualified IPO or (2) a Subsidiary Loan Party, all or substantially all the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary Loan Party are sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by this Agreement, without the prior written consent of each Lender,

(vii) effect any waiver, amendment or modification that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments or collateral of Lenders participating in any Tranche differently from those of Lenders participating in another Tranche, without the consent of the Majority Lenders participating in the adversely affected Tranche (it being agreed that the Required Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any prepayment required by Section 2.12 so long as the application of any prepayment still required to be made is not changed),

(viii) effect any waiver, amendment or modification of Section 5.02 of the Collateral Agreement, or any comparable provision of any other Security Document, in a manner that materially adversely affects the rights in respect of payments or collateral of Lenders, without the consent of each Lender so affected;

provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank acting as such at the effective date of such agreement, as applicable. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section 9.08 and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section 9.08 shall bind any Assignee of such Lender.

(c) Without the consent of the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent or any Joint Lead Arranger or Lender, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent may (in their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent, Holdings (prior to a Qualified IPO) and the Borrowers (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and the Revolving Facility Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

189

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, technical and conforming modifications to the Loan Documents may be made with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to the extent necessary to integrate any Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments on substantially the same basis as the Term Loans or Revolving Facility Loans, as applicable.

SECTION 9.09. Interest Rate Limitation. (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges that are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender or any Issuing Bank, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable hereunder, together with all Charges payable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate; provided that such excess amount shall be paid to such Lender or such Issuing Bank on subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation.

(b) Without limiting Section 9.09(a), if any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents would obligate the Canadian Borrower to make any payment of interest under the Obligations of the Canadian Borrower or any other amount in an amount or calculated at a rate that would be prohibited by law or would result in the receipt by any Canadian Tranche Lender of interest under the Obligations of the Canadian Borrower at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rates shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in the receipt by such Canadian Tranche Lender of interest under the Obligations of the Canadian Borrower at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (i) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to such Canadian Tranche Lender under this Section 9.09(b) and (ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to such Canadian Tranche Lender that would constitute interest under the Obligations of the Canadian Borrower for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated hereby, if any Canadian Tranche Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada), then the Canadian Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Canadian Tranche Lenders, to obtain reimbursement from such Canadian Tranche Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by such Canadian Tranche Lender to the Canadian Borrower. Any

190

amount or rate of interest under the Obligations of the Canadian Borrower referred to in this Section 9.09 (b) shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that any Canadian Tranche Revolving Facility Loan to the Canadian Borrower remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the Closing Date to the date that all Obligations (other than contingent indemnities and expense reimbursement obligations to the extent no claim therefor has been made) have been indefeasibly paid in full and all the Canadian Tranche Commitments have been terminated and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.

SECTION 9.10. Conversion of Currencies. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 9.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 9.11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the agreements regarding certain Fees referred to herein constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among or representations from the parties or their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fee Letter dated as of April 25, 2005, shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect.

191

SECTION 9.12. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.12.

SECTION 9.13. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 9.14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original.

SECTION 9.15. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.16. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Lender or any Issuing

192

Bank may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against Holdings, any Borrower or any other Loan Party or their properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

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

SECTION 9.17. Confidentiality. Each of the Lenders, each Issuing Bank and each of the Agents agrees that it shall maintain in confidence any information relating to Holdings, the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties furnished to it by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrowers or the other Loan Parties (other than information that (a) has become generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such party, (b) has been independently developed by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Agent without violating this Section 9.17 or (c) was available to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Agent from a third party having, to such person’s knowledge, no obligations of confidentiality to Holdings, the Borrowers or any other Loan Party) and shall not reveal the same other than to its directors, trustees, officers, employees and advisors with a need to know or to any person that approves or administers the Loans on behalf of such Lender (so long as each such person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.17), except: (a) to the extent necessary to comply with law or any legal process or the requirements of any Governmental Authority, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or of any securities exchange on which securities of the disclosing party or any Affiliate of the disclosing party are listed or traded, (b) as part of normal reporting or review procedures to Governmental Authorities or the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, (c) to its parent companies, Affiliates or auditors (so long as each such person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.17), (d) in order to enforce its rights under any Loan Document in a legal proceeding, (e) to any prospective assignee of, or prospective Participant in, any of its rights under this Agreement (so long as such person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.17) and (f) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in Swap Agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section).

SECTION 9.18. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Direct Website Communications.

(a) Delivery. (i) Each Loan Party hereby agrees that it will provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial

In addition, each Loan Party agrees to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent in the manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent. Nothing in this Section 9.18 shall prejudice the right of the Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers or any Lender or any Loan Party to give any notice or other communication pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any other manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(ii) The Administrative Agent agrees that receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth in Section 9.01 shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform (as defined below) shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees (a) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (b) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

(b) Posting. Each Loan Party further agrees that the Administrative Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).

(c) Platform. The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Communications or the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents advisors or representatives (collectively, “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Loan Parties, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind,

194

including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise), arising out of any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the internet, except to the extent the liability of any Agent Party is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Agent Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 9.19. Release of Liens and Guarantees. In the event that (1) any Loan Party conveys, sells, leases, assigns, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or any portion of any of the Equity Interests or assets of any Loan Party (other than the Equity Interests of the U.S. Borrower) to a person that is not (and is not required to become) a Loan Party in a transaction not prohibited by this Agreement or (2) upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to a Qualified IPO (with respect to the Equity Interests of the U.S. Borrower), then (i) in the case of a disposition of the Equity Interests of any Borrower (other than the U.S. Borrower) in a transaction not prohibited by this Agreement and as a result of which such Borrower would cease to be a Subsidiary, such Borrower shall, immediately prior to the completion of any such disposition, pay the unpaid principal amount of all Loans made to such Borrower hereunder, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and other fees and amounts owed by such Borrower hereunder (and, if applicable, repay all amounts to become due with respect to outstanding B/As of such Borrower hereunder) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11 and such Borrower shall thereafter cease for all purposes to have any of the rights or obligations of a Borrower hereunder, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by Holdings or the U.S. Borrower and at the Borrowers’ expense to release any Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such assets or Equity Interests, and, in the case of a disposition of the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary Loan Party in a transaction not prohibited by this Agreement and as a result of which such Subsidiary Loan Party would cease to be a Subsidiary Loan Party (or upon a Qualified IPO, with respect to Holdings), terminate such Subsidiary Loan Party’s obligations or Holdings’s obligations, as applicable, under the U.S. Guarantee Agreement or the Foreign Guarantee Agreement, as applicable. In addition, the Administrative Agent agrees to take such actions as are reasonably requested by Holdings or the U.S. Borrower and at the Borrowers’ expense to terminate the Liens and security interests created by the Loan Documents when all the Obligations (other than contingent indemnities and expense reimbursement obligations to the extent no claim therefor has been made) are paid in full and all Letters of Credit and Commitments are terminated. Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Equity Interests, asset or subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower shall no longer be deemed to be made once such Equity Interests or asset is so conveyed, sold, leased, assigned, transferred or disposed of.

SECTION 9.20. Dutch Parallel Debt. (a) Parallel Debt U.S. Obligations. (i) The U.S. Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Administrative Agent amounts equal to the aggregate amount from time to time payable (verschuldigd) to any of the Secured Parties under or pursuant to the U.S. Obligations (such payment undertaking to the Administrative Agent hereinafter referred to as the “Parallel Debt U.S. Obligations”).

195

(ii) The Parallel Debt U.S. Obligations will become due and payable (opeisbaar) immediately upon the Administrative Agent’s first demand, which may be made at any time, as and when one or more of the U.S. Obligations becomes due and payable.

(iii) Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledges that (A) the Parallel Debt U.S. Obligations constitute undertakings, obligations and liabilities of the U.S. Borrower to the Administrative Agent that are transferable and independent from, and without prejudice to, the corresponding U.S. Obligations and (B) the Parallel Debt U.S. Obligations represent the Administrative Agent’s own separate claim to receive payment of the Parallel Debt U.S. Obligations from the U.S. Borrower, it being understood that the amount that is or may become due and payable by the U.S. Borrower under or pursuant to the Parallel Debt U.S. Obligations from time to time shall never exceed the aggregate amount that is payable under the U.S. Obligations from time to time.

(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, each of the parties to this Agreement confirms that the claims of the Administrative Agent against the U.S. Borrower in respect of the Parallel Debt U.S. Obligations and the claims of any one or more of the Secured Parties against the U.S. Borrower under or pursuant to the U.S. Obligations payable to such Secured Parties do not constitute common property (een gemeenschap) within the meaning of Article 3:166 of the Netherlands Civil Code (“NCC”) and that the provisions relating to such common property shall not apply. If, however, it would be held that such claims of the Administrative Agent and such claims of any one or more of the Secured Parties do constitute such common property and such provisions do apply, the parties to this Agreement agree that any Intercreditor Agreement shall constitute an administration agreement (beheersregeling) within the meaning of Article 3:168 NCC.

(v) For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto confirm that this Agreement is not to be construed as an agreement as referred to in Article 6:16 NCC and that Article 6:16 NCC shall not apply, and therefore that the provisions relating to common property (een gemeenschap) within the meaning of Article 3:166 NCC shall not apply by analogy to the relationship between the Secured Parties on the one hand, and the U.S. Borrower as debtor of the Parallel Debt U.S. Obligations, on the other hand.

(vi) To the extent the Administrative Agent irrevocably (onaantastbaar) receives any amount in payment of the Parallel Debt U.S. Obligations (the “U.S. Received Amount”), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such amount among the Secured Parties in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreements. Upon irrevocable (onaantastbaar) receipt of any U.S. Received Amount, the U.S. Obligations shall be reduced by an aggregate amount (the “U.S. Deductible Amount”) equal to the U.S. Received Amount in the manner as if the U.S. Deductible Amount were received as a payment of the U.S. Obligations on the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent of the U.S. Received Amount.

196

(b) Parallel Debt Foreign Obligations. (i) Each of the U.S. Borrower and the Foreign Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Administrative Agent amounts equal to the aggregate amount payable (verschuldigd) to any of the Secured Parties or the Administrative Agent under or pursuant to the Foreign Obligations (these payment undertakings to the Administrative Agent hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Parallel Debt Foreign Obligations”).

(ii) The Parallel Debt Foreign Obligations will become due and payable (opeisbaar) immediately upon the Administrative Agent’s first demand, which may be made at any time, as and when one or more of the Foreign Obligations becomes due and payable.

(iii) Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledges that (A) the Parallel Debt Foreign Obligations constitute undertakings, obligations and liabilities of the U.S. Borrower and the Foreign Borrowers to the Administrative Agent which are transferable and independent from, and without prejudice to, the corresponding Foreign Obligations and (B) the Parallel Debt Foreign Obligations represent the Administrative Agent’s own separate claims to receive payment of the Parallel Debt Foreign Obligations from the U.S. Borrower and each of the Foreign Borrowers, it being understood that the amounts which may become due and payable by the U.S. Borrower and the Foreign Borrowers under or pursuant to the Parallel Debt Foreign Obligations from time to time shall never exceed the aggregate amount which is payable under the Foreign Obligations from time to time.

(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, each of the parties to this Agreement confirms that the claims of the Administrative Agent against the U.S. Borrower and each of the Foreign Borrowers in respect of the Parallel Debt Foreign Obligations and the claims of any or more of the Lenders, the Swingline Lender, Issuing Banks and Swap Counterparties against the U.S. Borrower and the Foreign Subsidiary Loan Parties under or pursuant to the Foreign Obligations payable to such Secured Parties and Swap Counterparties do not constitute common property (een gemeenschap) within the meaning of Article 3:166 of the Netherlands Civil Code (“NCC”) and that the provisions relating to such common property shall not apply. If, however, it shall be held that such claims of the Administrative Agent and such claims of any one or more of the Secured Parties do constitute such common property and such provisions do apply, the parties to this Agreement agree that any Intercreditor Agreement shall constitute the administration agreement (beheersregeling) within the meaning of Article 3:168 NCC.

(v) For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto confirm that this Agreement is not to be construed as an agreement as referred to in Article 6:16 NCC and that Article 6:16 NCC shall not apply, and therefore that the provisions relating to common property (een gemeenschap) within the meaning of Article 3:166 NCC shall not apply by analogy to the relationship between the Secured Parties, on the one hand, and the U.S. Borrower and the Foreign Borrowers as debtors of the Parallel Debt Foreign Obligations on the other hand.

197

(vi) To the extent the Administrative Agent irrevocably (onaantastbaar) receives any amount in payment of the Parallel Debt Foreign Obligations (the “Foreign Received Amount”), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such amount among the Secured Parties in accordance with Intercreditor Agreements. Upon irrevocable (onaantastbaar) receipt of any Foreign Received Amount, the Foreign Obligations shall be reduced by an aggregate amount (the “Foreign Deductible Amount”) equal to the Foreign Received Amount in the manner as if the Foreign Deductible Amount were received as a payment of the Foreign Obligations on the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Foreign Received Amount.

SECTION 9.21. German Parallel Debt; Limitation on Enforcement.

(a) Each Loan Party hereby agrees and covenants with the Administrative Agent by way of an abstract acknowledgement of debt (abstraktes Schuldanerkenntnis) that each of them shall pay to the Administrative Agent sums equal to, and in the currency of, any sums owing by it to a Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent) under any Loan Document (the “Principal Obligations”) as and when the same fall due for payment under the relevant Loan Document (the “German Parallel Obligations”).

(b) The Administrative Agent shall have its own independent right to demand payment of the German Parallel Obligations by the Loan Parties. The rights of the Secured Parties to receive payment of the Principal Obligations are several from the rights of the Administrative Agent to receive the German Parallel Obligations; provided that the payment by an Obligor of its German Parallel Obligations to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 9.21 shall be a good discharge of the corresponding Principal Obligations and the payment by a Loan Party of its corresponding Principal Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents shall be a good discharge of the relevant German Parallel Obligations. In the event of a good discharge of the Principal Obligations the Administrative Agent shall not be entitled any more to demand payment of the corresponding German Parallel Obligations and such German Parallel Obligations shall cease to exist. This shall apply accordingly in the event of a good discharge of the German Parallel Obligations to the corresponding Principal Obligations.

(c) The obligations under this Agreement of any Foreign Subsidiary Loan Party incorporated in Germany as a limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung) shall be limited as set forth in Section 6(d) of the Foreign Guarantee Agreement.

SECTION 9.22. Dutch Banking Act. (a) On the date of this Agreement, each Lender (including the Swingline Lender) and each Issuing Bank in respect of the European Tranche hereby represents and warrants for the benefit of the Dutch Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders that (i) it is a PMP (the requirements of which are set forth on Schedule 9.22), (ii) it is aware that it does not benefit from the (creditor) protection offered by the Dutch Banking Act when lending monies to persons or entities which are subject to the prohibition of Section 82 of the Dutch Banking Act, and (iii) in light of the foregoing and other considerations, it has made its own independent appraisal of risks arising under or in connection with the Loan Documents.

198

(b) On each date that an Assignee of any Loan to the Dutch Borrower, any European Tranche Commitment or Canadian Tranche Exposure or, pursuant to Section 2.21, any Incremental Revolving Facility Lender or Incremental Term Lender (if the applicable Incremental Revolving Facility Loans or Incremental Term Loans are to be made available to the Dutch Borrower) becomes a Lender, if such is at the time such person becomes a Lender a requirement under Dutch law (including the Exemption Regulation), such Lender hereby represents and warrants for the benefit of the Dutch Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that (i) it is a PMP (the requirements of which are set forth on Schedule 9.22), (ii) it is aware that it does not benefit from the (creditor) protection offered by the Dutch Banking Act when lending monies to persons or entities that are subject to the prohibition of Section 82 of the Dutch Banking Act, and (iii) in light of the foregoing and other considerations, it has made its own independent appraisal of risks arising under or in connection with the Loan Documents, and each Issuing Bank under the European Tranche represents that it is a PMP (the requirements of which are set forth on Schedule 9.22).

(c) If at any time the U.S. Borrower or the Dutch Borrower has, after due enquiry in the relevant publicly available registers, reasonable grounds to believe that any Lender or Issuing Bank is not a PMP, then at the reasonable request of such Borrower, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall provide to such Borrower information reasonably available to such Lender or Issuing Bank in order to enable such Borrower to verify that such Lender or Issuing Bank is a PMP.

SECTION 9.23. Power of Attorney. Each Lender (including the Swingline Lender) and each Issuing Bank hereby (and each Affiliate of a Lender by entering into an Affiliate Authorization thereby) (i) authorizes the Administrative Agent as its agent and attorney to execute and deliver, on behalf of and in the name of such Lender or Issuing Bank (or Affiliate), all and any Loan Documents (including Security Documents) and related documentation, (ii) authorizes the Administrative Agent to appoint any further agents or attorneys to execute and deliver, or otherwise to act, on behalf of and in the name of the Administrative Agent for any such purpose and (iii) authorizes the Administrative Agent to delegate its powers under this power of attorney and to do any and all acts and to make and receive all declarations that are deemed necessary or appropriate to the Administrative Agent. The Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby (and each Affiliate of a Lender by entering into an Affiliate Authorization thereby) relieve the Administrative Agent from the self-dealing restrictions imposed by Section 181 of the German Civil Code and the Administrative Agent may also relieve agents, delegates and attorneys appointed pursuant to the powers granted under this Section 9.23 from the restrictions imposed by Section 181 of the German Civil Code.

199

SECTION 9.24. Certain Approvals. The Lenders on the Closing Date by execution of this Agreement hereby approve or waive, as applicable, the collateral and intercreditor related matters set forth on Schedule 9.24.

SECTION 9.25. U.S.A. Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the U.S.A. Patriot Act.

SECTION 9.26. Czech Parallel Debt.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Administrative Agent sums equal to, and in the currency, of each amount payable by such Loan Party to each of the Secured Parties (other than the Administrative Agent) under each of the Loan Documents as and when that amount falls due for payment under the relevant Loan Document.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall have its own independent right to demand payment of the amounts payable by each Loan Party under this Section 9.26, irrespective of any discharge of such Loan Party’s obligation to pay those amounts to the other Secured Parties resulting from failure by them to take appropriate steps, in insolvency proceedings affecting that Loan Party, to preserve their entitlement to be paid those amounts.

(c) Any amount due and payable by a Loan Party to the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.26 shall be decreased to the extent that the other Secured Parties have received (and are able to retain) payment in full of the corresponding amount under the other provisions of the Loan Documents and any amount due and payable by a Loan Party to the other Secured Parties under those provisions shall be decreased to the extent that the Administrative Agent has received (and is able to retain) payment in full of the corresponding amount under this Section 9.26.

(d) The rights of the Secured Parties (other than the Administrative Agent) to receive payment of amounts payable by each Loan Party under the Loan Documents are several and are separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the rights of the Administrative Agent to receive payment under this Section 9.26.

Collection Allocation Mechanism

SECTION 10.01. Implementation of CAM. (a) On the CAM Exchange Date, (i) each European Tranche Lender shall immediately be deemed to have acquired (and shall promptly make payment therefor to the Administrative Agent in accordance

200

with Section 2.04(c)) participations in the Swingline Loans under the European Tranche in an amount equal to such Lender’s European Tranche Percentage of each such Swingline Loan outstanding on such date, (ii) simultaneously with the automatic conversions pursuant to clause (iii) below, the Lenders shall automatically and without further act (and without regard to the provisions of Section 9.04 (but which such provisions shall remain applicable following such exchange)) be deemed to have exchanged interests in the Loans (other than the Swingline Loans) and B/As and participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit, such that in lieu of the interest of each Lender in each Loan, B/A and Letter of Credit in which it shall participate as of such date (including such Lender’s interest in the Obligations of each Loan Party in respect of each such Loan, B/A and Letter of Credit), such Lender shall hold an interest in every one of the Loans (other than the Swingline Loans) and B/As and a participation in every one of the Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit (including the Obligations of each Loan Party in respect of each such Loan, each Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit and each Reserve Account established pursuant to Section 10.02), whether or not such Lender shall previously have participated therein, equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage thereof, (iii) simultaneously with the deemed exchange of interests pursuant to clause (ii) above, the interests in the Loans to be received in such deemed exchange shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the U.S. Dollar Equivalent, determined using the Exchange Rate calculated as of such date, of such amount and on and after such date all amounts accruing and owed to the Lenders in respect of such Obligations shall accrue and be payable in U.S. Dollars at the rate otherwise applicable hereunder and (iv) immediately upon the date of expiration of the Contract Period in respect thereof, the interests in each B/A received in the deemed exchange of interests pursuant to clause (ii) above shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the U.S. Dollar Equivalent, determined using the Exchange Rate calculated as of such date, of such amount and on and after such date all amounts accruing and owed to the Lenders in respect of such Obligations shall accrue and be payable in U.S. Dollars at the rate otherwise applicable hereunder. It is understood and agreed that (i) Lenders holding interests in B/As on the CAM Exchange Date shall discharge the obligations to fund such B/As at maturity in exchange for the interests acquired by such Lenders in funded Loans in the CAM Exchange and (ii) the CAM Exchange, in itself, will not affect the aggregate amount of the Obligations (as defined in the Collateral Agreement) owing by each of (1) the Domestic Loan Parties and (2) the Foreign Subsidiary Loan Parties, on the CAM Exchange Date. Each Lender and each Loan Party hereby consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees that the CAM Exchange shall be binding upon its successors and assigns and any person that acquires a participation in its interests in any Loan or B/A or any participation in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit. Each Loan Party agrees from time to time to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent all such promissory notes and other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to evidence and confirm the respective interests of the Lenders after giving effect to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees to surrender any promissory notes originally received by it in connection with its Loans hereunder to the Administrative Agent against delivery of any promissory notes evidencing its interests in the Loans and B/As so executed and delivered; provided, however, that the failure of any Loan Party to execute or deliver or of any Lender to accept any such promissory note, instrument or document shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the CAM Exchange.

201

(b) As a result of the CAM Exchange, upon and after the CAM Exchange Date, each payment received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document in respect of the Obligations, each release by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders of Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposits from the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit Account, and each distribution made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Security Document in respect of the Obligations, shall be distributed to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective CAM Percentages. Any direct payment received by a Lender on or after the CAM Exchange Date, including by way of set-off, in respect of an Obligation shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders in accordance herewith.

SECTION 10.02. Letters of Credit. (a) In the event that on the CAM Exchange Date any Letter of Credit under a Tranche shall be outstanding and undrawn in whole or in part, or any L/C Disbursement under a Tranche shall not have been reimbursed by the applicable Borrower or with the proceeds of a Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Borrowing, each Revolving Lender under such Tranche shall promptly pay over to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, an amount in U.S. Dollars equal to such Lender’s Tranche Percentage of such undrawn face amount or (to the extent it has not already done so) such unreimbursed drawing, as applicable, together with interest thereon from the CAM Exchange Date to the date on which such amount shall be paid to the Administrative Agent at the rate that would be applicable at the time to an ABR Revolving Loan in a principal amount equal to such undrawn face amount or unreimbursed drawing, as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall establish a separate account (each, a “Reserve Account”) or accounts for each Lender for the amounts received with respect to each such Letter of Credit pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Administrative Agent shall deposit in each Lender’s Reserve Account such Lender’s CAM Percentage of the amounts received from the Revolving Lenders as provided above. For the purposes of this paragraph, the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of each Lender’s participation in each Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be the amount in U.S. Dollars determined by the Administrative Agent to be required in order for the Administrative Agent to purchase currency in the applicable Alternative Currency in an amount sufficient to enable it to deposit the actual amount of such participation in such undrawn Letter of Credit in the applicable Alternative Currency in such Lender’s Reserve Account. The Administrative Agent shall have sole dominion and control over each Reserve Account, and the amounts deposited in each Reserve Account shall be held in such Reserve Account until withdrawn as provided in paragraph (b), (c), (d) or (e) below. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records enabling it to determine the amounts paid over to it and deposited in the Reserve Accounts in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amounts on deposit in respect of each Letter of Credit attributable to each Lender’s CAM Percentage. The amounts held in each Lender’s Reserve Account shall be held as a reserve against the Revolving L/C Exposure, shall be the property of such Lender, shall not constitute Loans to or give rise to any claim of or against any Loan Party and shall not give rise to any obligation on the

202

part of any Loan Party to pay interest to such Lender or any other obligation of any Loan Party, it being agreed that the reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit shall arise only at such times as drawings are made thereunder, as provided in Section 2.05.

(b) In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any drawing shall be made in respect of a Letter of Credit under a Tranche, (i) the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the applicable Issuing Bank, to the extent such drawing constitutes a Revolving L/C Disbursement, withdraw from the Reserve Account of each Lender under such Tranche any amounts, up to the amount of such Lender’s CAM Percentage of such drawing or payment, deposited in respect of such Letter of Credit and remaining on deposit and deliver such amounts to such Issuing Bank in satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Lenders under such Tranche under Section 2.05(d) (but not of the applicable Borrower under Section 2.05(e)) and (ii) to the extent such drawing constitutes a Tranche C-3 L/C Disbursement, the Administrative Agent shall withdraw from the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit of each Lender such Lender’s CAM Percentage of such Tranche C-3 L/C Disbursement and deliver such amounts to the Issuing Bank as contemplated by Section 2.05(e). In the event that any Lender shall default on its obligation to pay over any amount to the Administrative Agent as provided in this Section 10.02, the applicable Issuing Bank shall have a claim against such Lender to the same extent as if such Lender had defaulted on its obligations under Section 2.05(d), but shall have no claim against any other Lender in respect of such defaulted amount, notwithstanding the exchange of interests in the applicable Borrower’s reimbursement obligations pursuant to Section 10.01. Each other Lender shall have a claim against such defaulting Lender for any damages sustained by it as a result of such default, including, in the event that such Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, its CAM Percentage of the defaulted amount.

(c) In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, the Administrative Agent shall (i) to the extent such Letter of Credit constitutes a Revolving Letter of Credit, withdraw from the Reserve Account of each Lender the amount remaining on deposit therein in respect of such Letter of Credit and distribute such amount to such Lender and (ii) to the extent such Letter of Credit constitutes a Tranche C-3 Letter of Credit, withdraw from the Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit of each Lender the portion of such deposit attributable to such Letter of Credit and distribute such amount to such Lender.

(d) With the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld), any Lender may withdraw its Tranche C-3 Credit-Linked Deposit or the amount held in its Reserve Account in respect of the undrawn amount of any Letter of Credit. Any Lender making such a withdrawal shall be unconditionally obligated, in the event there shall subsequently be a drawing under such Letter of Credit, to pay over to the Administrative Agent, in the currency in which such drawing is denominated, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, on demand, its CAM Percentage of such drawing or payment.

203

(e) Pending the withdrawal by any Lender of any amounts from its Reserve Account as contemplated by the above paragraphs, the Administrative Agent will, at the direction of such Lender and subject to such rules as the Administrative Agent may prescribe for the avoidance of inconvenience, invest such amounts in Permitted Investments. Each Lender that has not withdrawn its amounts in its Reserve Account as provided in paragraph (d) above shall have the right, at intervals reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent, to withdraw the earnings on investments so made by the Administrative Agent with amounts in its Reserve Account and to retain such earnings for its own account.

SECTION 10.03. 2005 Credit Agreement; Effectiveness of Amendment and Restatement. On and after the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, all obligations of the Loan Parties under the 2005 Credit Agreement shall become obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder, secured by the Security Documents, and the provisions of the 2005 Credit Agreement shall be superseded by the provisions hereof. Each of the parties hereto confirm that the amendment and restatement of the 2005 Credit Agreement pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute a novation of the 2005 Credit Agreement.

204
