(e) The Euro Revolving Note issued by the U.S. Borrower and the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower to each Lender that has a Euro Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment shall (i) be executed by the U.S. Borrower or the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower, as applicable, (ii) be payable to the order of such Lender (or an affiliate designated by such Lender) and be dated the Effective Date (or, if issued thereafter, the date of issuance), (iii) be in a stated principal amount (expressed in Euros) which exceeds by 25% the Euro Equivalent (as of the date of issuance) of the respective Lender’s Euro Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment, provided that if, because of fluctuations in exchange rates after the Effective Date or issuance date, as applicable, the amount of the Euro Revolving Note of the U.S. Borrower or the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower held by any Lender would not be at least as great as the outstanding principal amount of Euro Revolving Loans made by such Lender at any time outstanding and evidenced thereby, the respective Lender may request (and in such case the U.S. Borrower or the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower, as applicable, shall promptly execute and deliver) a new Euro Revolving Note in an amount equal to the greater of (x) that amount (expressed in Euros) which at that time exceeds by 25% the Euro Equivalent of the respective Lender’s Euro Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment or (y) the then outstanding principal amount of all Euro Revolving Loans made by such Lender to the U.S. Borrower, (iv) subject to Section 2.17, be payable in Euros in the outstanding principal amount of the Euro Revolving Loans evidenced thereby, (v) mature on the Maturity Date, (vi) bear interest as provided in the appropriate clause of Section 2.09 in respect of the Euro Revolving Loans made to the U.S. Borrower or the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower, as applicable, and evidenced thereby, (vii) be subject to voluntary prepayment as provided in Section 5.01, and mandatory repayment as provided in Section 5.02, and (viii) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

Failure to make any such notation, or any error in such notation, shall not affect any Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Revolving Loans.

-59-

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above or elsewhere in this Agreement, Revolving Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders with Revolving Loans which at any time specifically request the delivery of such Revolving Notes. No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Revolving Note evidencing its Revolving Loans or to any Borrower shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the respective Borrower or Borrowers to pay the Revolving Loans (and all related Obligations) which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to the various Credit Documents. Any Lender which does not have a Revolving Note evidencing its outstanding Revolving Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations on a Revolving Note otherwise required in preceding clause (f). At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Revolving Note to evidence its Revolving Loans, the respective Borrower or Borrowers shall promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Revolving Note or Revolving Notes in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Revolving Loans.

Each such conversion shall be effected by the respective Borrower giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office, prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time), at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice (each a “Notice of Conversion”) specifying the Revolving Loans to be so converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Revolving Loans were made and, if to be converted into Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Revolving Loans.

(b) Each Canadian Revolving Loan Borrower shall be entitled: (i) to convert from time to time any Canadian Prime Rate Loans then outstanding into Bankers’ Acceptance Loans in an aggregate Face Amount equal to the aggregate principal amount in Canadian Dollars of such outstanding Canadian Prime Rate Loans; provided that the applicable Canadian Revolving Loan Borrower shall pay the proceeds of such Bankers’ Acceptance Loans, together with such additional funds as may be required, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Canadian Lenders to repay such outstanding Canadian Prime Rate Loans, and provided further that such Canadian Prime Rate Loans are repaid and such Bankers’ Acceptance Loans are obtained in accordance with Section 2 and any other applicable provisions of this

-60-

Agreement; and (ii) contemporaneously with the maturity of any Bankers’ Acceptance Loans outstanding under the Canadian Dollar Loan Sub-Commitments, to obtain Bankers’ Acceptance Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans in an aggregate Face Amount or principal amount as the case may be, equal to the aggregate Face Amount of such maturing Bankers’ Acceptance Loans, provided that the applicable Canadian Revolving Loan Borrower shall pay the proceeds of such new Canadian Revolving Loan together with such additional funds as may be required to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Canadian Lenders to repay such maturing Bankers’ Acceptance Loans, and provided further that such new Canadian Revolving Loans are obtained in accordance with Section 2 and any other applicable provisions of this Agreement.

(c) Mandatory conversions of Bankers’ Acceptance Loans into Canadian Prime Rate Loans shall be made in the circumstances, and to the extent, provided in clause (i) of Schedule III. Except as otherwise provided under Section 2.17, Bankers’ Acceptance Loans shall not be permitted to be converted into any other Type of Revolving Loan prior to the maturity date of the respective Bankers’ Acceptance Loan.

2.08. Pro Rata Borrowings.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.17(b) and the remainder of this Section 2.08, all Borrowings of Dollar Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall be incurred from the RL Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Dollar Percentages, and (ii) all Borrowings of Alternate Currency Revolving Loans in a given Alternate Currency made pursuant to a given Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche shall be incurred from the Alternate Currency RL Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Alternate Currency RL Percentages relating to such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Revolving Loans hereunder and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Revolving Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Revolving Loans hereunder.

(b) In addition to the provisions of Section 2.17(b) and 2.18(e), if at the time of or as a result of any Borrowing both Alternate Currency Revolving Loans and Dollar Revolving Loans are or will be outstanding and the Individual Revolving Credit Exposure for any RL Lender is or will be less than such RL Lender’s pro rata share of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure (based on its Dollar Percentage), the U.S. Borrower shall, in coordination with the Administrative Agent, repay outstanding Dollar Revolving Loans of certain of the Lenders, and incur additional Dollar Revolving Loans from certain other Lenders, in each case so that all of the Lenders participate in each outstanding Borrowing of Dollar Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their respective U.S. Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments (provided, that, if requested by the U.S. Borrower and consented to by the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), the Lenders shall in lieu thereof be required to purchase and sell (in each case in Dollars) undivided participating interests in the Dollar Revolving Loans outstanding to, and any Unpaid Drawings owing by, the U.S. Borrower) and the U.S. Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the respective Lenders the costs of the type referred to in Section 2.12 in connection with any such repayment (or purchases and sales). Nothing in this Section 2.08(b) shall require any Lender to make or purchase any Alternate Currency Revolving Loan in excess of such Lender’s Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment or to make or purchase any Dollar Revolving Loans in excess of such Lender’s U.S. Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment.

(b) Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan made to it from the date of Borrowing until the earlier of (x) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration, prepayment or otherwise) and (y) the conversion of such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.07, 2.10, or 2.11, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time plus the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period.

(c) Each Canadian Revolving Loan Borrower hereby agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Canadian Prime Rate Loan made to such Borrower from the date of Borrowing (which shall, in the case of a conversion pursuant to clause (i) of Schedule III, be deemed to be the date upon which a maturing Bankers’ Acceptance is converted into a Canadian Prime Rate Loan pursuant to said clause (i), with the proceeds thereof to be equal to the full Face Amount of the maturing Bankers’ Acceptances) until the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or earlier repayment thereof or conversion thereof pursuant to Section 2.17 at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Canadian Prime Rate, each as in effect from time to time.

(d) With respect to Bankers’ Acceptance Loans, Acceptance Fees shall be payable in connection therewith as provided in clause (g) of Schedule III. Until maturity of the respective Banker’s Acceptances, interest shall not otherwise be payable with respect thereto.

(e) Each Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrower hereby agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Sterling Revolving Loan made to such Borrower from the date of the Borrowing thereof until the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time plus the relevant Pounds Sterling LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus any Mandatory Costs.

-62-

(g) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Revolving Loan and any other overdue amount payable hereunder shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate per annum (1) in the case of overdue principal of, and interest or other amounts owing with respect to, Canadian Revolving Loans and any other amounts owing in Canadian Dollars, equal to 2% per annum plus the Applicable Margin (calculated based on “Level” VI pricing as shown in the definition of Applicable Margin) for Canadian Prime Rate Loans plus the Canadian Prime Rate, each as in effect from time to time, (2) in the case of overdue principal of, and interest or other amounts owing with respect to, Sterling Revolving Loans and any other amounts owing in Pounds Sterling, equal to 2% per annum in excess of the Applicable Margin (calculated based on “Level” VI pricing as shown in the definition of Applicable Margin) plus the Pounds Sterling LIBOR Rate for such successive periods not exceeding three months as the Administrative Agent may determine from time to time in respect of amounts comparable to the amount not paid plus any Mandatory Costs, (3) in the case of overdue principal of, and interest or other amounts owing in respect of, Euro Revolving Loans, equal to 2% per annum in excess of the Applicable Margin (calculated based on “Level” VI pricing as shown in the definition of Applicable Margin) plus EURIBOR for such successive periods not exceeding three months as the Administrative Agent may determine from time to time in respective amounts comparable to the amount not paid plus any Mandatory Costs, (4) in the case of overdue principal of, and interest owing on Dollar Revolving Loans, the rate which is 2% plus the rate then borne by such Revolving Loans (without giving effect to any increase in the rate borne by such Revolving Loans as a result of the operation of this clause (g)), and (5) in all other cases, equal to 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans (without giving effect to any increase in the rate borne by Revolving Loans as a result of the operation of this clause (g)).

(i) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the respective Euro Rate for the respective Interest Period or Interest Periods to be applicable to Euro Rate Loans and shall promptly notify the respective Borrower and the Lenders thereof.

-63-

2.10. Interest Periods. At the time it gives any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any Euro Rate Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such Euro Rate Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the respective Borrower or Borrowers shall have the right to elect, by giving the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give each affected Lender notice) notice thereof, the interest period (each an “Interest Period”) applicable to such Euro Rate Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of such Borrower, be a one, two, three or six month period (or, if agreed to by each Lender participating in a Borrowing of such Euro Rate Loan, a 7 or 14 day period), provided that:

(i) all Euro Rate Loans comprising a single Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period;

(ii) the initial Interest Period for any Borrowing of Euro Rate Loans shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including, in the case of Dollar Revolving Loans, the date of any conversion thereto from a Dollar Revolving Loan of a different Type) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing of Euro Rate Loans shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

(iii) if any Interest Period for a Euro Rate Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

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

(v) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, no Interest Period may be selected at any time when any Default or Event of Default is in existence;

(vi) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Tranche of Revolving Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date; and

(vii) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be selected if the U.S. Borrower then knows that such Interest Period extends beyond the date upon which a mandatory repayment of Revolving Loans will be required to be made under Section 5.02 if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans which have Interest Periods which will expire after such date will be in excess of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans permitted to be outstanding after such mandatory repayment.

-64-

Prior to the termination of any Interest Period applicable to Euro Rate Loans, the applicable Borrower may, at its option, designate that the respective Borrowing subject thereto be split into more than one Borrowing (for purposes of electing multiple Interest Periods to be subsequently applicable thereto), so long as each such Borrowing resulting from the action taken pursuant to this sentence meets the relevant Minimum Borrowing Amount. If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Euro Rate Loans, the respective Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Euro Rate Loans as provided above, such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected (x) if Eurodollar Loans, to convert such Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans and (y) if Alternate Currency Revolving Loans, to select a one-month Interest Period for such Alternate Currency Revolving Loans, in either case effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

2.11. Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. (a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent):

(i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the applicable interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of the respective Euro Rate; or

(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Euro Rate Loan because of (x) the adoption after the Effective Date or any change arising after the Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, for example, but not limited to: (A) a change in the basis of taxation of payment to any Lender of the principal of or interest on the Revolving Notes or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or profits of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or in which its principal office or applicable lending office or other permanent establishment of such Lender is located or any subdivision thereof or therein) or (B) a change in official reserve requirements (other than Eurodollar reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate or otherwise covered by Section 2.11(d) in respect of Alternate Currency Revolving Loans or included in the computation of the applicable Euro Rate) or any special deposit, assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its applicable lending office) and/or (y) other circumstances since the Effective Date affecting the applicable interbank market; or

(iii) at any time after the Effective Date, that the making or continuance of any Euro Rate Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having the force of law) or (z) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the date of this Agreement which materially and adversely affects the applicable interbank market; or

-65-

(iv) at any time that any Alternate Currency is not available in sufficient amounts to fund any Borrowing of Alternate Currency Revolving Loans requested pursuant to Section 2.01;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) or (iv) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to the respective Borrower or Borrowers and, except in the case of clauses (i) and (iv) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (w) in the case of clause (i) above, (A) if Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the U.S. Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion given by any Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the respective Borrower, and (B) if any Alternate Currency Revolving Loan is so affected, the relevant Euro Rate shall be determined on the basis provided in the proviso appearing in the definition of the relevant Euro Rate, (x) in the case of clause (ii) above, the respective Borrower or Borrowers shall pay to such Lender, upon its written request therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the respective Borrower or Borrowers by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto), (y) in the case of clause (iii) above, the respective Borrower or Borrowers shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.11(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law and (z) in the case of clause (iv) above, Alternate Currency Revolving Loans (exclusive of Alternate Currency Revolving Loans which have theretofore been funded) shall no longer be available in the respective Alternate Currency or Alternate Currencies until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing given by any Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrower with respect to such Alternate Currency Revolving Loans which have not been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the respective Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrower.

(b) At any time that any Euro Rate Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.11(a)(ii) or (a)(iii), the respective Borrower or Borrowers may (and in the case of a Euro Rate Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.11(a)(iii) shall) either (x) if the affected Euro Rate Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel the respective Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that such Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent or (y) if the affected Euro Rate Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, (A) in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, request the affected Lender to convert such Euro Rate Loan into

-66-

a Base Rate Loan (which conversion, in the case of the circumstances described in Section 2.11(a)(iii)) shall occur no later than the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Euro Rate Loan (or such earlier date as shall be required by applicable law)) and (B) in the case of a Euro Rate Loan that is an Alternate Currency Revolving Loan, repay such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan in full; provided that (i) if the circumstances described in Section 2.11(a)(iii) apply to any Alternate Currency Revolving Loan, the respective Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrower may, in lieu of taking the actions described above, maintain such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan outstanding, in which case the applicable Euro Rate shall be determined on the basis provided in the proviso appearing in the definition of the relevant Euro Rate, unless the maintenance of such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan outstanding on such basis would not stop the conditions described in Section 2.11(a)(iii) from existing (in which case the actions described above, without giving effect to the proviso, shall be required to be taken) and (ii) if more than one Lender is affected at any time as described above in this clause (b), then all affected Lenders must be treated in the same way pursuant to this Section 2.11(b).

(c) If at any time after the date of this Agreement any Lender determines that the introduction of or any change in (which introduction or change shall have occurred after the Effective Date) any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the U.S. Borrower, the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower and the Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowers, as applicable, agree to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such Lender’s reasonable good faith determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.11(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.11(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrowers, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts and shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. In addition, each such Lender, upon determining that the circumstances giving rise to the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) cease to exist, will give prompt written notice thereof to the U.S. Borrower.

(d) If any Lender shall in good faith determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto) at any time that such Lender is required to maintain reserves (including, without limitation, any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserves required by applicable law) which have been established by any Federal, state, local or foreign court or governmental agency, authority, instrumentality or regulatory body with jurisdiction over such Lender (including any branch, Affiliate or funding office thereof) in respect of any Euro Rate Loans or any category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on any Euro Rate Loan

-67-

is determined or any category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans of the same or similar type as any Euro Rate Loans, then, unless such reserves are already being charged for pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(ii), such Lender shall promptly notify the U.S. Borrower or the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower, as applicable, in writing specifying the additional amounts required to indemnify such Lender against the cost of maintaining such reserves (such written notice to provide in reasonable detail a computation of such additional amounts) and the U.S. Borrower or the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower, as applicable, shall, and shall be obligated to, pay to such Lender such specified amounts as additional interest at the time that the U.S. Borrower or the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower, as applicable, is otherwise required to pay interest in respect of such Euro Rate Loans or, if later, on written demand therefor by such Lender.

(e) The Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay amounts under this Section 2.11 for which compensation is determined pursuant to the definition of Mandatory Costs payable under Section 2.09(e) and Section 2.09(f).

2.12. Compensation. The respective Borrower or Borrowers shall compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Euro Rate Loans, but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a Borrowing or continuation of, or conversion from or into, Euro Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion (whether or not rescinded or deemed rescinded pursuant to Section 2.11(a); (ii) if any repayment (including any repayment made pursuant to Sections 2.16, 5.01 or 5.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 12) or conversion of any Euro Rate Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any repayment (including any repayment made pursuant to Sections 2.16, 5.01 or 5.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 12) of any Bankers’ Acceptance Loan occurs on a date which is not the maturity date of the respective Bankers’ Acceptance; (iv) if any prepayment of any Euro Rate Loans or Bankers’ Acceptance Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the respective Borrower or Borrowers; (v) as a consequence of (x) any other default by the respective Borrower or Borrowers to repay its Revolving Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Revolving Note held by such Lender or (y) any election made pursuant to Section 2.11(b), (vi) as a result of any repayment or purchase contemplated by Section 2.18(e) or (vii) as a result of the replacement of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14. A written notice as to the amount owed to a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall show in reasonable detail the basis of calculation of such amount and shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto.

2.13. Lending Offices; Changes Thereto. (a) Each Lender may at any time or from time to time designate, by written notice to the Administrative Agent to the extent not already reflected on Schedule II, one or more lending offices (which, for this purpose, may include Affiliates of the respective Lender) for the various Revolving Loans made, and Letters of Credit participated in, by such Lender (including by designating a separate lending office (or Affiliate) to act as such with respect to Dollar Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings

versus Alternate Currency Revolving Loans); provided that, for designations made after the Effective Date, to the extent such designation shall result in increased costs or Taxes under Section 2.11, 3.06 or 5.04 in excess of those which would be charged in the absence of the designation of a different lending office (including a different Affiliate of the respective Lender), then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such excess increased costs (although the Borrowers, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay the costs which would apply in the absence of such designation and any subsequent increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective designation). Each lending office and Affiliate of any Lender designated as provided above shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, be treated in the same manner as the respective Lender (and shall be entitled to all indemnities and similar provisions in respect of its acting as such hereunder).

(b) Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.11(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.11(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the applicable Borrower or Borrowers, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Revolving Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.13 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 2.11, 3.06 and 5.04.

2.14. Replacement of Lenders. (a) (x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or otherwise defaults in its obligations to make Revolving Loans or fund Unpaid Drawings, (y) upon the occurrence of an event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.11(a)(ii), (iii) or (iv), Section 2.11(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to any Borrower increased costs in excess of those being generally charged by the other Lenders or (z) in the case of the refusal by a Lender to consent to proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 14.11, the U.S. Borrower shall have the right, if no Default or Event of Default will exist immediately after giving effect to such replacement, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of whom shall be required to be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and, if the Person serving as the Administrative Agent is not a Canadian Lender, any Canadian Lender whose Maximum Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment is not exceeded by any other Canadian Lender; provided that:

(i) any Replacement Lender in a replacement pursuant to this Section 2.14(a) (with each such replacement being herein called a “Replacement”) shall be required to comply with the requirements of Section 14.03(b) and at the time of any Replacement the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 14.03(b) (and shall pay all fees payable pursuant to said Section 14.03(b)) (and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized,

-69-

but shall not be required, to execute any Assignment and Assumption Agreement on behalf of a Replaced Lender relating to the assignment of Revolving Loans (including the Face Amount of all Bankers’ Acceptance Loans) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments (and related Sub-Commitments) and/or Commitments of such Replaced Lender), and outstanding Revolving Loans of, and in each case participations in Letters of Credit by, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof amounts (in the respective currencies in which such obligations are denominated) equal to the sum of (I) the principal of (including, without limitation, the Face Amount of Bankers’ Acceptance Loans), and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Revolving Loans of the Replaced Lender, (II) all Unpaid Drawings that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (III) all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 4.01, and (y) the Issuing Bank (in Dollars) an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s Dollar Percentage of any Unpaid Drawing (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing) to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender to such Issuing Bank and

(ii) all obligations of the Borrowers due and owing to the Replaced Lender at such time (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.

(b) Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreements, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, recordation of the assignment on the Register by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.14 and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Revolving Note or Revolving Notes executed by the respective Borrowers, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.16, 3.06, 5.04, 13.06 and 14.01), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender. In connection with any replacement of Lenders pursuant to, and as contemplated by, this Section 2.14, each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorizes the U.S. Borrower to take all necessary action, in the name of the U.S. Borrower, as described above in this Section 2.14 in order to effect the replacement of the respective Lender or Lenders in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Section 2.14. Upon the Replaced Lender ceasing to be a Lender hereunder, such Replaced Lender agrees to promptly return to the U.S. Borrower any Revolving Note or Revolving Notes theretofore delivered to such Replaced Lender pursuant to this Agreement marked “cancelled”, or if such Replaced Lender has lost or cannot find any such Revolving Note or Revolving Notes, such Replaced Lender will execute and deliver to the U.S. Borrower a customary lost note and indemnity agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the U.S. Borrower.

2.15. Bankers’ Acceptance Provisions. The parties hereto agree that the provisions of Schedule III shall apply to all Bankers’ Acceptances and Bankers’ Acceptance Loans created hereunder, and that the provisions of Schedule III shall be deemed incorporated by reference into this Agreement as if such provisions were set forth in their entirety herein.

2.16. Additional Revolving or Term Loan Commitments. (a) Additional Revolving Loan Commitments. So long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or would result therefrom, the U.S. Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time after the Effective Date and on or prior to 30 days prior to the initial Maturity Date (or, if extended pursuant to Section 2.04, 60 days prior to the Maturity Date (as extended)), and upon at least 15 Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify each of the Lenders), to request on up to five occasions (including those on which requests are made pursuant to Section 2.16(d)) that one or more Lenders (and/or one or more other Persons which will become Lenders as provided in clause (vii) below (a “New Lender”)) provide Additional Revolving Loan Commitments (which may in the case of Canadian Lenders (or, in the circumstances contemplated by clause (vii) below, any other Person that becomes a Canadian Lender (a “New Canadian Lender”)) include a Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment and with respect to Alternate Currency RL Lenders may include related Additional Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments with respect to one or more Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranches) and, subject to the applicable terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, make Revolving Loans pursuant thereto, it being understood and agreed, however, that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Additional Revolving Loan Commitment (or a related Additional Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment) as a result of any such request by the U.S. Borrower, (ii) until such time, if any, as (x) such Lender has agreed in its sole discretion to provide an Additional Revolving Loan Commitment (and any related Additional Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment) and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an Additional Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement in respect thereof as provided in Section 2.16(b) and such Additional Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement has become effective, and (y) the other conditions set forth in Section 2.16(b) shall have been satisfied, such Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Revolving Loans in excess of its Revolving Loan Commitment (or any Alternate Currency Revolving Loans under a given Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche in excess of its Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment relating to such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche), in each case as in effect prior to giving effect to such Additional Revolving Loan Commitment (and any related Additional Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment) provided pursuant to this Section 2.16, (iii) any Lender or New Lender may so provide an Additional Revolving Loan Commitment (and any related Additional Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment and any Canadian Lender or any New Canadian Lender may so provide a Canadian Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment) without the consent of any other Lender but with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), (iv) each provision of Additional Revolving Loan Commitments (and any related Additional Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment) on a given date pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be in a minimum aggregate amount (for all Lenders (including, New Lenders)) of at least $10,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (v) the aggregate amount of all Additional Revolving Loan Commitments, together with all Term Loans, permitted to be provided pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall not exceed $400,000,000, and, after giving effect to any Additional Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Subcommitments, no Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment Sub-Limit shall exceed the Maximum Alternative Currency Revolving Sub-Commitment, (vi) the fees payable to any Lender (including any New Lender) providing an Additional Revolving Loan Commitment shall be as set forth in the relevant Additional Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement, (vii) if, after the U.S. Borrower has

-71-

requested the then existing Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders) to provide Additional Revolving Loan Commitments (and any related Additional Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment) pursuant to this Section 2.16, the U.S. Borrower has not received Additional Revolving Loan Commitments (and any related Additional Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment) in an aggregate amount equal to that amount of the Additional Revolving Loan Commitments (and any related Additional Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment) which the U.S. Borrower desires to obtain pursuant to such request (as set forth in the notice provided by the U.S. Borrower to the Administrative Agent as provided above), then the U.S. Borrower may request Additional Revolving Loan Commitments (and any related Additional Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment) from Persons which would qualify as Eligible Transferees hereunder (or from Persons who qualify as a Canadian Lender in the case of the Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment) in an aggregate amount equal to such deficiency on terms which are no more favorable to such Eligible Transferee (or other Person qualifying as a Canadian Lender) in any respect than the terms offered to the Lenders, provided that any such Additional Revolving Loan Commitments (and any related Additional Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment) provided by any such Eligible Transferee (or other Person qualifying as a Canadian Lender) which is not already a Lender shall be in a minimum amount (for such Eligible Transferee) of at least $10,000,000, and (viii) all actions taken by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be done in coordination with the Administrative Agent.

(b) Deliverables In Connection with Additional Revolving Loan Commitments. At the time of any provision of Additional Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.16, (i) the U.S. Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender or other Eligible Transferee (each, an “Additional Revolving Loan Lender”) which agrees to provide an Additional Revolving Loan Commitment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Additional Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit J (appropriately completed), subject to such modifications in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as may be necessary or appropriate (with the effectiveness of such Additional Revolving Loan Lender’s Additional Revolving Loan Commitment (and any related Additional Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments) to occur upon delivery of such Additional Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement to the Administrative Agent, the payment of any fees required in connection therewith and the satisfaction of the other conditions in this Section 2.16(b) to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent), (ii) [intentionally omitted] and (iii) if requested by the Administrative Agent, the U.S. Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an opinion, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, from counsel to the U.S. Borrower, the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower or the Canadian Borrowers and dated such date, covering such matters similar to those set forth in the opinions of counsel delivered to the Administrative Agent on the Effective Date pursuant to Section 6.02 and such other matters as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the occurrence of each Additional Revolving Loan Commitment Date, and (v) on each such date, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such Additional Revolving Loan Commitments, (w) on each such date, each Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment Sub-Limit under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of any Additional Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments, if

-72-

any, made available under the respective Additional Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement with respect to such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment, (x) on each such date Schedule I-A shall be deemed modified to reflect the revised Revolving Loan Commitments of the affected Lenders, (y) on each such date on which an Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment is provided, Schedule I-B shall be deemed modified to reflect the revised Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment of the affected Lenders and (z) the availability amounts set forth in clauses (A) and (B) of clause (vii) of Section 2.01 shall each automatically be increased by the full amount of the increase in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.16.

(c) Lender Allocation Adjustment. In connection with any provision of Additional Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.16, the Lenders and the Borrowers hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) the relevant Borrowers shall, in coordination with the Administrative Agent, (x) repay outstanding Dollar Revolving Loans and/or Alternate Currency Revolving Loans under certain Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranches owing to certain RL Lenders, and incur additional Dollar Revolving Loans and/or Alternate Currency Revolving Loans under certain Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranches from certain other RL Lenders (including the Additional Revolving Loan Lenders) or (y) take such other actions as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent (including by requiring new Dollar Revolving Loans or Alternate Currency Revolving Loans pursuant to a given Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche to be incurred and added to then outstanding Borrowings of such Dollar Revolving Loans or such Alternate Currency Revolving Loans, even though as a result thereof such new Revolving Loans (to the extent required to be maintained as Euro Rate Loans) may have a shorter Interest Period than the then outstanding Borrowings of such Dollar Revolving Loans or such Alternate Currency Revolving Loans), in each case to the extent necessary so that (I) all of the RL Lenders effectively participate in each outstanding Borrowing of Dollar Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their Dollar Percentages (determined after giving effect to any increase in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment (and any increase in the Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments of the Additional Revolving Loan Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.16) and (II) all Alternate Currency RL Lenders with a given Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment effectively participate in each outstanding Borrowing of Alternate Currency Revolving Loans under the related Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche pro rata on the basis of their Alternate Currency RL Percentages relating to such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche (determined after giving effect to any increase in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment (and any increase in the Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments of the Additional Revolving Loan Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.16), (ii) the Borrowers shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the respective RL Lenders any costs of the type referred to in Section 2.12 in connection with any repayment and/or Borrowing required pursuant to preceding clause (i) and (iii) to the extent Dollar Revolving Loans or Alternate Currency Revolving Loans pursuant to a given Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche are to be so incurred or added to the then outstanding Borrowings of the Dollar Revolving Loans or Alternate Currency Revolving Loans which are maintained as Euro Rate Loans, the Lenders that have made such Revolving Loans shall be entitled to receive from the Borrowers such amounts, as reasonably determined by the respective Lenders, to compensate them for funding the various Revolving Loans during an existing Interest Period (rather than at the beginning of the respective Interest Period, based upon rates then applicable thereto). In coordinating the actions to be taken

-73-

pursuant to this Section 2.16(c), the Administrative Agent shall act with an eye towards minimizing (but no express obligation to minimize) costs to the Borrowers. All determinations by any Lender pursuant to clause (iii) of the second preceding sentence shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

(d) Addition of the Term Loan Tranche. So long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or would result therefrom, the U.S. Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time after the Effective Date and 30 days prior to the initial Maturity Date (or, if extended pursuant to Section 2.04, 60 days prior to the Maturity Date (as extended)), and upon at least 15 Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify each of the Lenders), to request on up to five occasions (including those on which requests are made pursuant to Section 2.16(a)) that one or more Lenders (and/or one or more other Persons which will become Lenders as provided in clause (iv) below (a “New Term Lender”)) provide one or more tranches of term loans (“Term Loans”) which may, subject to the applicable terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, make Term Loans pursuant thereto, it being understood and agreed, however, that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide a Term Loan as a result of any such request by the U.S. Borrower, (ii) any Lender or New Term Lender may so provide a Term Loan without the consent of any other Lender but with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), (iii) the aggregate amount of all Term Loans together with all Additional Revolving Loan Commitments permitted to be provided pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall not exceed $400,000,000, (iv) if, after the U.S. Borrower has requested the then existing Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders) to provide Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.16, the U.S. Borrower has not received Term Loan in an aggregate amount equal to that amount of the Term Loans which the U.S. Borrower desires to obtain pursuant to such request (as set forth in the notice provided by the U.S. Borrower to the Administrative Agent as provided above), then the U.S. Borrower may request Term Loans from Persons which would qualify as Eligible Transferees hereunder in an aggregate amount equal to such deficiency on terms which are no more favorable to such Eligible Transferee in any respect than the terms offered to the Lenders, provided that any such Term Loans provided by any such Eligible Transferee which is not already a Lender shall be in a minimum amount (for such Eligible Transferee) of at least $10,000,000, (v) all actions taken by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be done in coordination with the Administrative Agent, (vi) the Term Loans (x) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Revolving Loans, (y) shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date of the Revolving Loans, and (z) except as set forth above, shall be treated substantially the same as the Revolving Loans (in each case, including with respect to mandatory and voluntary prepayments); provided that (A) the terms and conditions applicable to Term Loans may be materially different from those of the Revolving Loans to the extent such differences are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (B) the interest rates and amortization schedule applicable to the Term Loans shall be determined by the U.S. Borrower and the lenders thereof. Each notice from the U.S. Borrower pursuant to this Section shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Term Loan.

2.17. Special Provisions Regarding RL Lenders and Alternate Currency Revolving Loans.

(a) On the fifth Business Day after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, automatically (and without the taking of any action) (x) all then outstanding Alternate Currency Revolving Loans incurred by each Borrower shall be automatically converted into Dollar Revolving Loans maintained in, or Unpaid Drawings owing in, Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount or Face Amount, as the case may be, of the respective Alternate Currency Revolving Loans or Unpaid Drawings, as the case may be, on the date such Sharing Event first occurred), which Dollar Revolving Loans or Unpaid Drawings shall (i) continue to be owed by the respective Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrower obligated to repay or reimburse the respective Alternate Currency Revolving Loan or Unpaid Drawing prior to such conversion and (ii) at all times thereafter be deemed to be Base Rate Loans, and (y) all principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing with respect to such Revolving Loans and Unpaid Drawings (as so converted) shall be immediately due and payable in Dollars (taking the Dollar Equivalent of the principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts of the Alternate Currency Revolving Loans or Unpaid Drawings so converted). The occurrence of any conversion as provided above in this Section 2.17(a) shall be deemed to constitute, for purposes of Section 2.12, a prepayment of Alternate Currency Revolving Loans before the last day of any Interest Period relating thereto.

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event, each RL Lender shall (and hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to) purchase and sell (in each case in Dollars) undivided participating interests in the Revolving Loans to, and any Unpaid Drawings owing by, each Borrower in such amounts so that each RL Lender shall have a share of the outstanding Revolving Loans and Unpaid Drawings then owing by each Borrower equal to its RL Percentage thereof. Upon any such occurrence the Administrative Agent shall notify each RL Lender and shall specify the amount of Dollars required from such RL Lender in order to effect the purchases and sales by the various RL Lenders of participating interests in the amounts required above (together with accrued interest with respect to the period from the last interest payment date through the date of the Sharing Event plus any additional amounts payable by any respective Borrower pursuant to Section 5.04 in respect of such accrued but unpaid interest); provided that in the event that a Sharing Event shall have occurred, each RL Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, automatically and without request, such participating interests. Promptly upon receipt of such request, each RL Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (in immediately available funds in Dollars) the net amounts as specified by the Administrative Agent. If any RL Lender fails to so deliver such net amounts to the Administrative Agent, distributions of amounts otherwise payable under this Agreement to such RL Lender shall be distributed instead to the Canadian Lenders (and applied to the purchase price owing to such Canadian Lenders) until such payments are made by such defaulting RL Lender or the Canadian Lenders have received the purchase price owing to them by the Defaulting Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver the amounts so received to the various RL Lenders in such amounts as are needed to effect the purchases and sales of participations as provided above. Promptly following receipt thereof, each RL Lender which has sold participations in any of its Revolving Loans (through the Administrative Agent) will deliver to each RL Lender (through the Administrative Agent) which has so purchased a participating interest a participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount. It is understood that the amount of funds delivered by each RL Lender shall be calculated on a net basis, giving effect to both the sales and purchases of participations by the various RL Lenders as required above.

-75-

(c) Upon, and after, the occurrence of a Sharing Event (i) no further Credit Events shall occur, (ii) all amounts from time to time accruing with respect to, and all amounts from time to time payable on account of, Alternative Currency Revolving Loans (including, without limitation, any interest and other amounts which were accrued but unpaid on the date of such purchase) shall be payable in Dollars (taking the Dollar Equivalents of all such amounts on the date of the occurrence of the respective Sharing Event, with all calculations after such Sharing Event being made as if the respective such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan had originally been made in Dollars) and shall be distributed by the relevant RL Lenders (or their affiliates) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the RL Lenders which are participating therein and (iii) the Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments of the various Canadian Lenders shall be automatically terminated (which shall result in a like increase to the U.S. Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments of the respective Lenders, except to the extent the Revolving Loan Commitments of the various Lenders are terminated as otherwise provided in this Agreement). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, the failure of any RL Lender to purchase its participating interests in any Revolving Loans upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event shall not relieve any other RL Lender of its obligation hereunder to purchase its participating interests in a timely manner, but no RL Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other RL Lender to purchase the participating interest to be purchased by such other RL Lender on any date.

(d) If any amount required to be paid by any RL Lender pursuant to Section 2.17(b) is paid to the Administrative Agent after the date such amount is required to be paid by such RL Lender but within three Business Days following the date upon which such RL Lender receives notice from the Administrative Agent of the amount of its participations required to be purchased pursuant to Section 2.17(b), such RL Lender shall also pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the amount so required to be paid by such RL Lender for the purchase of its participations times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate, during the period from and including the date of request for payment to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Administrative Agent times (iii) a fraction of the numerator of which is the number of days that elapsed during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any RL Lender pursuant to Section 2.17(b) is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent within three Business Days following the date upon which such RL Lender receives notice from the Administrative Agent as to the amount of participations required to be purchased by it, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover from such RL Lender on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such request date at the rate per annum applicable to Dollar Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any RL Lender with respect to any amounts payable under this Section 2.17 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Amounts payable by any RL Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant RL Lenders; provided that, if the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion) has elected to fund on behalf of such RL Lender the amounts owing to such RL Lenders, then the amounts shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for its own account.

(e) Whenever, at any time after the relevant RL Lenders have received from any RL Lenders purchases of participations in any Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.17, the various RL Lenders receive any payment on account thereof, such RL Lenders

-76-

will distribute to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the various RL Lenders participating therein, such RL Lenders’ participating interests in such amounts (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such participations were outstanding but also taking into account the payment of any interest in connection with the purchase of such participating interest pursuant to Section 2.18(b)) in like funds as received; provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by any RL Lenders is required to be returned, the RL Lenders who received previous distributions in respect of their participating interests therein will return to the respective RL Lenders any portion thereof previously so distributed to them in like funds as such payment is required to be returned by the respective RL Lenders.

(f) Each RL Lender’s obligation to purchase participating interests pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance including, without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such RL Lender may have against any other RL Lender, the relevant Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower or any other Person, (iv) any breach of this Agreement by any Borrower or any Lender or any other Person, or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, upon any purchase of participations as required above, each RL Lender which has purchased such participations shall be entitled to receive from the relevant Borrowers any reasonable increased costs and indemnities (including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.16, 3.06 and 5.04) directly from the Borrowers to the same extent as if it were the direct Lender as opposed to a participant therein, which reasonable increased costs shall be calculated without regard to Section 2.13, Section 14.03(a) or the last sentence of Section 14.03(b). The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that, upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event and after giving effect to the requirements of this Section 2.17, increased Taxes may be owing by them pursuant to Section 5.04, which Taxes shall be paid (to the extent provided in Section 5.04) by the respective Borrowers, without any claim that the increased Taxes are not payable because same resulted from the participations effected as otherwise required by this Section 2.17.

(h) All determinations by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall be made by it in accordance with the provisions herein and with the intent being to equitably share the credit risk for all Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof. Absent manifest error, all determinations by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be binding on the Borrowers and each of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Borrower or any Lender hereunder for any determinations made by it hereunder (other than any determination as to the existence of a Sharing Event), except to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

2.18. Voluntary Adjustment or Termination of Total Maximum Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment and Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment. (a) General. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that (i) the Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment shall be fixed by the U.S. Borrower from time to time in accordance with Section 2.18(b); (ii) in no event shall the Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment exceed the sum of the Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub Commitments of the various Canadian Lenders as then in effect; (iii) in no event shall the Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment of any Canadian Lender exceed the Maximum Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment of such Lender; (iv) at no time shall the U.S. Borrower be permitted to request an extension of credit pursuant to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment (whether in the form of Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Outstandings) and no such credit shall be made available, if after giving effect thereto, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans (excluding for this purpose Canadian Revolving Loans), and the amount of the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time would exceed an amount equal to the Total U.S. Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment as then in effect; (v) at no time shall any Canadian Revolving Loan Borrower be permitted to request an extension of credit in the form of Canadian Revolving Loans if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal (and Face Amount, as applicable) of outstanding Canadian Revolving Loans (for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent of the principal and/or Face Amount, as appropriate, of Canadian Revolving Loans) would exceed the Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment; and (vi) the Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment of any Canadian Lender at any time shall be an amount equal to its pro rata share of the Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment at such time determined on the basis of the Canadian RL Percentages of the various Lenders. At all times from and after the date of this Agreement until an adjustment is made in accordance with this Section 2.18, the Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment shall be U.S. $0. The Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment shall not exceed the total amount set forth (or, in the case of an additional commitment as described in Section 2.16, deemed to be set forth) on Schedule I-B.

(b) Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment Adjustment Date. The U.S. Borrower may at any time (but not more than four (4) times in any calendar year) give written notice, which notice shall be irrevocable, to the Administrative Agent requesting an adjustment effective not earlier than the fifth Business Day following such request (each such date an “Adjustment Date”) to the amount of the Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment; provided that no reduction to the amount of the Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment may be made if, after giving effect to any such reduction, the Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment would be less than the sum of the aggregate Face Amount of all Bankers’ Acceptance Loans and the principal amount of all Canadian Prime Rate Loans (for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent of the Face Amounts or principal amounts thereof) then outstanding (other than any such Canadian Revolving Loans which will be repaid in full on or before the respective Adjustment Date). If any adjustment is made on an Adjustment Date as described in this Section 2.18, then on the respective Adjustment Date all repayments required by this Section 2.18 and Section 5.02 shall be made on such date to the extent required as a result of such adjustments and in manner provided in Section 5.02. At any time the U.S. Borrower may, but shall not be required, to request an estimate of adjustment costs by written request to the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of such request, the Administrative Agent shall solicit from the Lenders estimates (and the Lenders shall provide

-78-

such estimates not later than 5 Business Days after such solicitation, promptly after the receipt of which the Administrative Agent shall provide a summary thereof to the U.S. Borrower) of costs payable under Sections 2.12 and 2.18(e) as a result of the proposed adjustment. Such estimates shall be based upon circumstances at the time and shall not be binding upon any Lender or the Administrative Agent. Such request for an estimate by the U.S. Borrower shall not be binding upon the U.S. Borrower and shall not constitute the notice described in the first sentence of this Section 2.18(b).

(c) Effect of Adjustment Date on Canadian Loans. In connection with any adjustment to the Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment requested pursuant to Section 2.18(b), (i) if any such adjustment would result in an increase in the Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment, commencing on the Adjustment Date additional Canadian Revolving Loans shall be permitted to be incurred in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.01 and (ii) if any such adjustment would result in a decrease in the Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment, all Canadian Revolving Loans required to be repaid pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(ii) shall, to the extent required by Section 5.02(a)(ii), be repaid on the Adjustment Date by the time required by Section 5.03. It is understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability to any Lenders if the payments contemplated above in this Section 2.18 are not actually made on the Adjustment Date, and that any failure to make the payments required to be made on an Adjustment Date pursuant to this Section 2.18 or Section 5.02(a)(ii) shall constitute an Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 12.01.

(d) Voluntary Reductions of Maximum Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments. On any date the U.S. Borrower may, at its option, permanently reduce or terminate the Maximum Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments (specifying the aggregate amount of such reduction); provided that (i) no such reduction shall be made in an amount which would cause the Dollar Equivalent of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount or Face Amount, as the case may be, of the Canadian Revolving Loans to exceed the Maximum Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments of the Canadian Lenders or the Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments of the Canadian Lenders after giving effect to the respective reduction pursuant to this Section 2.18(d), and (ii) each reduction pursuant to this Section 2.18(d) shall apply pro rata to reduce the Maximum Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments of the Canadian Lenders (based upon the relative amounts of such sub-commitments).

(e) Effect of Adjustment Date on Dollar Revolving Loans. In connection with any Adjustment Date for any adjustment to the Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.18, on such Adjustment Date the U.S. Borrower shall, in coordination with the Administrative Agent, repay outstanding Dollar Revolving Loans of certain of the Lenders, and incur additional Dollar Revolving Loans from certain other Lenders, in each case so that all of the Lenders participate in each outstanding Borrowing of each Tranche of Dollar Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their respective U.S. Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments (after giving effect to any change to the U.S. Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments as a result of such adjustment to the Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.18) (provided, that, if requested by the U.S. Borrower and consented to by the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably

-79-

withheld), the Lenders shall in lieu thereof be required to purchase and sell (in each case in Dollars) undivided participating interests in the Dollar Revolving Loans outstanding to, and any Unpaid Drawings owing by, the U.S. Borrower) and the U.S. Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the respective Lenders the costs of the type referred to in Section 2.12 in connection with any such repayment (or purchases and sales).

2.19. European Monetary Union. The following provisions of this Section 2.19 shall come into effect on and from the date on which the United Kingdom becomes a Participating Member State. Each obligation under this Agreement which has been denominated in Pounds Sterling shall be redenominated into Euros in accordance with the relevant EMU Legislation. However, if and to the extent that the relevant EMU Legislation provides that an amount which is denominated in Pounds Sterling can be paid by the debtor either in Euros or in Pounds Sterling, each party to this Agreement shall be entitled to pay or repay any amount denominated or owing in Pounds Sterling hereunder either in Euros or in Pounds Sterling. Without prejudice and in addition to any method of conversion or rounding prescribed by any relevant EMU Legislation, (i) each reference in this Agreement to a minimum amount (or an integral multiple thereof) in Pounds Sterling shall be replaced by a reference to such reasonably comparable and convenient amount (or an integral multiple thereof) in Euros as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify and (ii) except as expressly provided in this Section 2.19, this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction of or changeover to Euros in the United Kingdom, provided that this Section 2.19 shall not reduce or increase any actual or contingent liability arising under this Agreement.

SECTION 3. Letters of Credit.

3.01. Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the U.S. Borrower may request that the Issuing Bank issue, at any time and from time to time on and after the Effective Date and prior to the tenth Business Day prior to the Maturity Date, for the account of the U.S. Borrower and for the benefit of any holder (or any trustee, agent or other similar representative for any such holders) of L/C Supportable Obligations of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, an irrevocable sight standby letter of credit, in a form customarily used by the Issuing Bank or in such other form as has been reasonably approved by the Issuing Bank (each such standby letter of credit, a “Letter of Credit”) in support of such L/C Supportable Obligations. The Issuing Bank shall not issue any commercial or trade letters of credit. Letters of Credit may, at the option of the Issuing Bank, provide that they are governed by the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits or the International Standby Practices. Each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars.

(b) The Issuing Bank hereby agrees that it will (subject to the terms and conditions contained herein), at any time and from time to time on and after the Effective Date and prior to the tenth Business Day prior to the Maturity Date, following its receipt of the respective Letter of Credit Request, issue within five (5) Business Days for the account of the U.S. Borrower, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, one or more Letters of Credit in support of such L/C Supportable Obligations of the U.S. Borrower or any of its or their Subsidiaries as are permitted to remain outstanding without giving rise to a Default or an Event of Default, provided that the Issuing Bank shall not issue any Letter of Credit if at the time of such issuance:

-80-

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit or any requirement of law applicable to the Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the date hereof, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable, in effect or known to the Issuing Bank as of the date hereof and which the Issuing Bank reasonably and in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ material to it; or

(ii) the Issuing Bank shall have received notice from the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit of the type described in the second sentence of Section 3.03(b).

3.02. Maximum Letter of Credit Outstandings; Final Maturities; etc. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time, would exceed $10,000,000, (ii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued if, after giving effect thereto, (x) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender would exceed its Revolving Loan Commitment as then in effect or (y) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment as then in effect, (iii) each Letter of Credit shall by its terms terminate on or before the earlier of (x) the date which occurs 12 months after the date of the issuance thereof (although any such Letter of Credit may be extendible for successive periods of up to 12 months, but not beyond the tenth Business Day prior to the Maturity Date (unless on or before the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit the U.S. Borrower cash collateralizes (it being understood such cash collateral will be held in an interest bearing account under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent in which the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, has a first priority security interest) the reimbursement obligation with respect thereto with cash equal to 105% of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit or delivers a back-to-back letter of credit in form satisfactory to the Issuing Bank on terms acceptable to the Issuing Bank)) and (y) the tenth Business Day prior to the Maturity Date (unless on or before the Maturity Date the U.S. Borrower cash collateralizes the reimbursement obligation with respect thereto with cash equal to 105% of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit on terms acceptable to the Issuing Bank or delivers a back-to-back letter of credit in form satisfactory to the Issuing Bank), (iv) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars and (v) the Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall be no less than $500,000, or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Issuing Bank.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Lender Default exists, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any Letters of Credit unless the Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the U.S. Borrower to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit of the Defaulting Lender or Lenders, which may include cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s or Lenders’ RL Percentage of the Letter of Credit Outstandings.

-81-

3.03. Letter of Credit Requests; Notices of Issuance. (a) Whenever it desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, the U.S. Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank written notice thereof prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York time) at least five Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Issuing Bank) prior to the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day). Each notice shall be in the form of Exhibit C (each a “Letter of Credit Request”) and may be delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank by facsimile.

(b) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the U.S. Borrower that (i) the requested Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.02 and (ii) all of the applicable conditions set forth in Sections 6 and 7 shall be met at the time of such issuance. Unless the Issuing Bank has received notice from the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified in Section 6 are not satisfied on the Effective Date or Section 7 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.02, then the Issuing Bank shall issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the U.S. Borrower in accordance with the Issuing Bank’s usual and customary practices. Promptly after the issuance of or amendment to any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower, in writing, of such issuance or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. Promptly after receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify each RL Lender in writing of such issuance or amendment and, if so requested by any RL Lender, the Administrative Agent shall furnish such RL Lender with a copy of the issued Letter of Credit or such amendment.

3.04. Letter of Credit Participations. (a) Immediately upon the issuance by the Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each RL Lender (other than the Issuing Bank) (each such Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit, in its capacity under this Section 3.04, a “Participant”), and each Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, in a percentage equal to such Participant’s Dollar Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of the U.S. Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto (although Letter of Credit Fees shall be paid directly to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the RL Lenders based on their Dollar Percentages as provided in Section 4.01(c) and the Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any Facing Fees); provided that, upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event, the participations described above shall be automatically adjusted so that each RL Lender shall have a participation in all then outstanding Letters of Credit, and related obligations as described above, in a percentage equal to its RL Percentage (which adjustments shall occur concurrently with the adjustments described in Section 2.17). Upon any change in the Revolving Loan Commitments or Dollar Percentages of the RL Lenders pursuant to this Agreement (or in the circumstances provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, the RL Percentages of the RL Lenders pursuant to this Agreement), it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all

-82-

outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 3.04 to reflect the new Dollar Percentages or, in the circumstances described in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, the RL Percentages of the various RL Lenders.

(b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation relative to the Participants or any other Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), shall not create for the Issuing Bank any resulting liability to the U.S. Borrower, any other Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person.

(c) If the Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the U.S. Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.05(a), the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Bank the amount of such Participant’s Dollar Percentage (or, after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, its RL Percentage) of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars and in same day funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies, prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on any Business Day, any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, in Dollars, such Participant’s Dollar Percentage (or, after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, its RL Percentage) of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds; provided, however, that no Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Bank its Dollar Percentage (or, after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, its RL Percentage) of such unreimbursed amount for (i) any wrongful payment made by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) and (ii) with respect to any Letter of Credit with an expiration date after the tenth Business Day prior to the Maturity Date, any payment made by the Issuing Bank in excess of the amount of cash collateral delivered by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to Section 3.02(a)(iii)(y). If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so made its Dollar Percentage (or, after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, its RL Percentage) of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, such Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Bank at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate applicable to Dollar Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans hereunder for each day thereafter. The failure of any Participant to make available to the Issuing Bank its Dollar Percentage (or, after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, its RL Percentage) of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Issuing Bank its Dollar Percentage (or, after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, its RL Percentage) of

-83-

any unreimbursed payment with respect to a Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Bank such other Participant’s Dollar Percentage (or, after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, its RL Percentage) of any such payment.

(d) Whenever the Issuing Bank receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has received any payments from the Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, the Issuing Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Participant which has paid its Dollar Percentage (or, after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, its RL Percentage) thereof, in Dollars and in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.

(e) Upon the request of any Participant, the Issuing Bank shall furnish to such Participant copies of any Letter of Credit issued by it and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Participant.

(f) The obligations of the Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever (except as otherwise provided in the proviso to the second sentence of Section 3.04(c)) and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

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

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

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

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

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

-84-

(vi) subject to the provisions of Section 3.04(c), the fact that the expiration date of any Letter of Credit is beyond the Maturity Date.

3.05. Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. (a) Subject to Section 3.05(b), the U.S. Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the Issuing Bank, by making payment in Dollars and in immediately available funds directly to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, for any payment or disbursement made by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit issued by it (with each such amount so paid, until reimbursed, an “Unpaid Drawing”), immediately after, and in any event on the date of, such payment or disbursement, with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by the Issuing Bank, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date the Issuing Bank was reimbursed by the U.S. Borrower therefor at a rate per annum which shall be the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Dollar Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans; provided, however, to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the third Business Day following the receipt of notice of such payment or disbursement or upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 12.05, interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by the Issuing Bank (and until reimbursed by the U.S. Borrower) at a rate per annum which shall be the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Dollar Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans plus 2%, in each such case, with interest to be payable on demand. The Issuing Bank shall give the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent prompt written notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit, provided that except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the U.S. Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

(b) Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 3.05(a), unless otherwise requested by the U.S. Borrower prior to 2:00 P.M. on the date of such payment or disbursement made by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit, any reimbursement of an Unpaid Drawing in an amount equal to or exceeding $1,000,000 shall be effected by having such Unpaid Drawing amount treated as a Base Rate Loan (which Base Rate Loan may be converted in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.07).

(c) The obligations of the U.S. Borrower under this Section 3.05 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the U.S. Borrower may have or have had against any Lender (including in its capacity as issuer of any Letter of Credit or as Participant), including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit (each a “Drawing”) to conform to the terms of such Letter of Credit or any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing or any other matter or circumstance referred to in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 3.04(f); provided that the Issuing Bank shall be responsible for any damages (excluding consequential damages) to the U.S. Borrower for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) in connection with drawings made under a Letter of Credit which did not comply or conform to the terms of the respective Letter of Credit.

-85-

3.06. Increased Letter of Credit Costs. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.13(b), if at any time after the date of this Agreement, the introduction of or any change in any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, guideline or request or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Issuing Bank or any Participant with any request or directive by any such authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by the Issuing Bank or participated in by any Participant, or (ii) impose on the Issuing Bank or any Participant any other conditions relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Issuing Bank or any Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Issuing Bank or any Participant hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or profits or franchise taxes based on net income of the Issuing Bank or such Participant pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or in which its principal office or applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein), then, upon written demand to the U.S. Borrower by the Issuing Bank or such Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by the Issuing Bank or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), the U.S. Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Bank or such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Issuing Bank or such Participant for such increased cost or reduction in the amount receivable or reduction on the rate of return on its capital. The Issuing Bank or any Participant, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.06, will give prompt written notice thereof to the U.S. Borrower which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the U.S. Borrower by the Issuing Bank or such Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by the Issuing Bank or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Issuing Bank or such Participant. The certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on the U.S. Borrower.

SECTION 4. Commitment Commission; Canadian Commitment Commission; Fees; Reductions of Commitment.

4.01. Fees. (a) The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment a commitment commission (the “Commitment Commission”) for the period from and including the Effective Date to, but excluding, the Maturity Date (or such earlier date as the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall have been terminated), computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Commitment Commission Percentage (as in effect from time to time) on the average daily Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender. Accrued Commitment Commission shall be due and payable in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Maturity Date or such earlier date upon which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated. In addition, the U.S. Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for distribution to each Canadian Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) an additional commitment commission (the “Canadian Commitment Commission”) for the period from and including the Effective Date to, but excluding, the Maturity Date (or such earlier date as the Total Maximum Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment shall have been terminated),

-86-

computed at a rate per annum equal to .10% on the average daily Unutilized Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment of such Lender. Accrued Canadian Commitment Commission shall be due and payable in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Maturity Date or such earlier date upon which the Total Maximum Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment is terminated. The fees referred to above shall be payable on a pro rata basis.

(b) The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment (based on their respective Dollar Percentages or, for periods from and after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, their respective RL Percentages) in Dollars, a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued for the account of the U.S. Borrower hereunder (the “Letter of Credit Fee”), in each case for the period from and including the date of issuance of the respective Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are maintained as Eurodollar Loans (as in effect from time to time) on the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. Accrued Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable on each Quarterly Payment Date after the Effective Date and on the Maturity Date or such earlier date upon which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated.

(c) The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank, for its own account, in Dollars, a facing fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued for the account of the U.S. Borrower by the Issuing Bank (the “Facing Fee”), for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of the termination of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate equal to 1/8 of 1% per annum of the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit; provided that in no event shall the annual Facing Fee with respect to any Letter of Credit be less than $500. Accrued Facing Fees shall be due and payable in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Maturity Date or such earlier date upon which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated.

(d) The U.S. Borrower shall pay, upon each payment under, issuance of, or amendment to, any Letter of Credit, such amount as shall at the time of such event be the administrative charge and the reasonable expenses which the Issuing Bank is generally imposing for payment under, issuance of, or amendment to, Letters of Credit issued by it, not to exceed $500 per issuance or amendment.

(e) At the time of the incurrence of each Bankers’ Acceptance Loan, Acceptance Fees shall be paid by the respective Canadian Revolving Loan Borrower as required by, and in accordance with, clause (g) of Schedule III.

(f) The Borrowers shall pay to the Agents, for their own accounts, such other fees as have been agreed to in writing by the Borrowers and the Agents.

4.02. Voluntary Termination or Reduction of Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment. Upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the U.S. Borrower shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, without premium or penalty, to terminate or partially reduce the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan

-87-

Commitment, provided that (x) any partial reduction pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be in an amount of at least $1,000,000 or, if greater, in integral multiples of $1,000,000 thereof. Each reduction to the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall apply to reduce the Revolving Loan Commitments of the various RL Lenders pro rata based on their respective RL Percentages. Each reduction to the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall apply to reduce the Revolving Loan Commitments of the various RL Lenders pro rata based on their respective RL Percentages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of any reduction to the Revolving Loan Commitment of any Lender pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall reduce the U.S. Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment, the Alternative Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments and the Maximum Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments of such Lender on a pro rata basis.

SECTION 5. Prepayments; Payments; Taxes.

5.01. Voluntary Prepayments. Each Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Revolving Loans made to such Borrower, without premium or penalty (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12), in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on the following terms and conditions:

(i) such Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of (1) its intent to prepay such Revolving Loans, (2) whether Dollar Revolving Loans Alternate Currency Revolving Loans (including Canadian Revolving Loans) shall be prepaid) (3) the amount of such prepayment (stated in the Applicable Currency) and the Types of Revolving Loans to be prepaid and (4) in the case of Euro Rate Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid. Such notice shall be given by such Borrower prior to 12:00 Noon (local time where the respective Payment Office is located) (x) at least one Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment in the case of Dollar Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans or Canadian Dollar Revolving Loans maintained as Canadian Prime Rate Loans, and (y) at least one Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment in the case of Loans maintained as Euro Rate Loans, and to be transmitted promptly by the Administrative Agent to each of the Lenders with Loans of the respective Type;

(ii) each prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount at least equal to $1,000,000 or, in the case of Alternate Currency Revolving Loans, Alternate Currency Revolving Loans having a Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000 for the applicable Type of Revolving Loans, provided that if any partial prepayment of Euro Rate Loans made pursuant to any Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Euro Rate Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the respective Minimum Borrowing Amount for such Type of Revolving Loans, then such Borrowing (x) in the case of Dollar Revolving Loans, may not be continued as a Borrowing of Euro Rate Loans and shall be converted to Base Rate Loans and any election of an Interest Period with respect thereto shall have no force or effect and (y) in the case of Alternate Currency Revolving Loans, shall be repaid in full at such time;

-88-

(iii) prepayments of Bankers’ Acceptance Loans may not be made prior to the maturity date of the respective Bankers’ Acceptances; and

(iv) each prepayment in respect of any Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Revolving Loans, provided that until the date on which the amount giving rise to a Lender Default of the applicable Lender shall have been reduced to zero (whether by the funding by such Defaulting Lender of any defaulted Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender or by the non-pro rata application of any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Revolving Loans in accordance with the terms of Section 5.01, Section 5.02 or by a combination thereof), any prepayment in respect of Revolving Loans shall not be applied to any Revolving Loan of a Defaulting Lender.

5.02. Mandatory Repayments and Commitment Reductions.

(a) Excess Usage of Commitments (i) Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure. On any day on which the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Total Revolving Loan Commitment as then in effect, the Borrowers shall repay the principal of outstanding Revolving Loans (other than Bankers’ Acceptance Loans where the underlying Bankers’ Acceptances have not yet matured) (allocated between Dollar Revolving Loans and Alternate Currency Revolving Loans as the Borrowers may elect); provided, however, that in each case, the repayment shall be allocated to the sub-facility in respect of which excess exposure exists (to the extent of such excess) in an amount (for this purpose, taking the Dollar Equivalent of payments made in any Alternate Currency with respect the Alternate Currency Revolving Loans) equal to such excess, but. if any such repayment shall effect a repayment of a Euro Rate Loan prior to the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, such repayment may be delayed until the date of such expiration subject to compliance with the provisions of Section 5.02(d); provided, that in determining whether such excess exists, the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency Revolving Loans shall be determined on a quarterly basis on each Alternative Currency Facility Valuation Date except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Dollar Equivalent”. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Revolving Loans required to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 5.02(a)(i) (other than Bankers’ Acceptance Loans as referenced in the immediately preceding sentence), the sum of the outstanding Bankers’ Acceptance Loans (for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent of the Face Amounts thereof) and Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the Total Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect, (x) an amount equal to the lesser of such excess and the then outstanding Face Amount of all Bankers’ Acceptances shall be deposited (and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, on any subsequent date on which any such excess is determined, any such cash collateral shall be returned to the applicable Borrower to the extent it exceeds the excess, if any, determined on such subsequent date) by the respective Borrower with the Administrative Agent as cash collateral for the obligations of the respective Canadian Revolving Loan Borrower or Borrowers to the Canadian Lenders (rounded up to the nearest integral multiple of Cdn $100,000) in respect of an equivalent Face Amount of outstanding Bankers’ Acceptances accepted by the Canadian Lenders which shall be paid to and applied by the Canadian Lenders, in satisfaction of the obligations to the Canadian Lenders of the respective Canadian Revolving Loan Borrower or Borrowers in respect of such Banker’s Acceptances, on the maturity date thereof, and (y) to the extent such excess exceeds the amount

-89-

applied pursuant to preceding clause (x), the respective Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent cash or Cash Equivalents in an amount equal to the amount of such excess (less the amount applied pursuant to preceding clause (x)) (up to a maximum amount equal to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time), such cash or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of the respective Borrowers hereunder and under the other Credit Documents in a cash collateral account (and invested from time to time in Cash Equivalents selected by the Administrative Agent) to be established by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Canadian Currency Exposure. If on any date the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding principal amount (or Face Amount, as the case may be) of Canadian Revolving Loans exceeds the Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments of the Canadian Lenders as then in effect, the respective Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowers shall at the request of the Administrative Agent prepay on such day the principal of outstanding Canadian Revolving Loans (for this purpose, taking the Dollar Equivalent of payments in any Canadian Dollars made with respect to Canadian Revolving Loans) (other than Bankers’ Acceptance Loans where the underlying Bankers’ Acceptances have not matured) equal to such excess, provided, that in determining whether such excess exists, the Dollar Equivalent of Canadian Revolving Loans shall be determined on a quarterly basis on each Alternative Currency Facility Valuation Date except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Dollar Equivalent”. In the case of Canadian Revolving Loans, if after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Canadian Revolving Loans (other than Bankers’ Acceptance Loans where the underlying Bankers’ Acceptances have not yet matured), the sum of the aggregate Face Amount of outstanding Bankers’ Acceptance Loans (for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent of the Face Amounts thereof) exceeds the sum of the Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments of the various Canadian Lenders as then in effect, an amount equal to such excess shall be deposited (and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, on any subsequent date on which any such excess is determined, any such cash collateral shall be returned to the applicable Borrower to the extent it exceeds the excess, if any, determined on such subsequent date) by the respective Canadian Revolving Loan Borrower with the Administrative Agent as cash collateral for the obligations of the respective Canadian Revolving Loan Borrower or Borrowers to the Canadian Lenders (rounded up to the nearest integral multiple of Cdn $100,000) in respect of an equivalent Face Amount of outstanding Bankers’ Acceptances accepted by the Canadian Lenders which shall be paid to and applied by the Canadian Lenders, in satisfaction of the obligations to the Canadian Lenders of the respective Canadian Revolving Loan Borrower or Borrowers in respect of such Banker’s Acceptances, on the maturity date thereof.

(iii) Excess Usage. In the event that an Excess Usage Amount exists as of the last day of four consecutive fiscal quarters, (determined in the case of any Alternate Currency Revolving Loans, by computing the Dollar Equivalent as of each such day), not later than 2 Business Days after the date on which the compliance certificate in respect of such fiscal quarter is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 10.11(d), the U.S. Borrower shall repay the principal of outstanding Revolving Loans (other than Bankers’ Acceptance Loans where the underlying Bankers’ Acceptances have not yet matured) in an amount (for this purpose, taking the Dollar Equivalent of

-90-

payments made with respect to the Alternate Currency Revolving Loans) equal to such Excess Usage Amount. If, after giving effect to the prepayments of all outstanding Revolving Loans pursuant to the foregoing sentence (other than Bankers’ Acceptance Loans as referenced in the immediately preceding sentence), any Excess Usage Amount still exists, then (x) an amount equal to the lesser of such excess and the then outstanding Face Amount (as of the date of such payment) of all such Bankers’ Acceptances for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent of the Face Amount thereof shall be deposited (and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, on any subsequent date on which any such excess is determined, any such cash collateral shall be returned to the applicable Borrower to the extent it exceeds the excess, if any, determined on such subsequent date) by the respective Borrower with the Administrative Agent as cash collateral for the obligations of the respective Canadian Revolving Loan Borrower or Borrowers to the Canadian Lenders (rounded up to the nearest integral multiple of Cdn $100,000) in respect of an equivalent Face Amount of outstanding Bankers’ Acceptances accepted by the Canadian Lenders which shall be paid to and applied by the Canadian Lenders, in satisfaction of the obligations to the Canadian Lenders of the respective Canadian Revolving Loan Borrower or Borrowers in respect of such Banker’s Acceptances, on the maturity date thereof, and (y) to the extent such excess exceeds the amount applied pursuant to preceding clause (x), the respective Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent cash or Cash Equivalents in an amount equal to the amount of such Excess Usage Amount (less the amount applied pursuant to preceding clause (x)) (up to a maximum amount equal to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time), such cash or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of the respective Borrowers hereunder and under the other Credit Documents in a cash collateral account (and invested from time to time in Cash Equivalents selected by the Administrative Agent) to be established by the Administrative Agent.

(iv) Alternate Currency Exposure. On any day on which the Aggregate Alternate Currency Credit Exposure exceeds the Maximum Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment (or on any day on which the Aggregate Individual Alternate Currency Credit Exposure exceeds the applicable Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment Sub-Limit), the Borrowers shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, prepay on such day the principal of outstanding Alternate Currency Revolving Loans (other than Bankers’ Acceptance Loans where the underlying Bankers’ Acceptances have not yet matured) in an amount equal to such excess (for this purpose, taking the Dollar Equivalent of payments in any Alternate Currency made with respect thereto); provided, that in determining whether such excess exists, the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency Revolving Loans shall be determined on a quarterly basis on each Alternative Currency Valuation Date except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Dollar Equivalent”.

(b) Asset Sales. In the event that the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds received by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from one or more Asset Sales occurring on or after the Effective Date in any period of 12 consecutive months (such 12 consecutive month period, an “Asset Sale Period”) that (x) exceed 1% of Adjusted Total Assets (determined as of the date closest to the commencement of such Asset Sale Period for which a consolidated balance sheet of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries has been filed with the SEC

-91-

or provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.11) and (y) after giving effect to such Asset Sales, Adjusted Total Assets is less than $10,000,000,000, then during the period commencing 180 days prior to the commencement of such Asset Sale Period and running through the date that is 12 months after the date Net Cash Proceeds so received exceeded 1% of Adjusted Total Assets, an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds received during such Asset Sale Period (or, if less, the amount by which Adjusted Total Assets was less than $10,000,000,000 as of the end of the Asset Sale Period) must have been or must be invested in or committed to be invested in, pursuant to a binding commitment subject only to reasonable, customary closing conditions, and providing an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds are, in fact, so invested, within an additional 180 days pursuant to a transaction otherwise permitted hereunder, (x) fixed assets and property (other than notes, bonds, obligations and securities) which in the good faith reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of the general partner of the U.S. Borrower will immediately constitute or be part of a Related Business of the U.S. Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary (if it continues to be a Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower) immediately following such transaction, (y) Permitted Mortgage Investments, or (z) a controlling interest in the Capital Stock of an entity engaged in a Related Business; provided that concurrently with an Investment specified in clause (z), such entity becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower. Pending the application of any such Net Cash Proceeds as described above, the U.S. Borrower may invest such Net Cash Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited hereby. Any Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales that are subject to the requirements of this Section 5.02(b) and are not or were not applied or invested as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph (including any such Net Cash Proceeds which were committed to be invested as provided in such sentence but which are not in fact invested within the time period provided) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” Within 30 days following each date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25,000,000 (or, if requested by the U.S. Borrower, at any time prior to the end of such period), the U.S. Borrower shall apply an amount equal to such Excess Proceeds as set forth in Section 5.02(c). Upon the application of such Excess Proceeds in accordance with Section 5.02(c), the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

(c) Application of Asset Sale Excess Proceeds. Each amount required to be applied pursuant to this Section 5.02(c) as a result of the requirements of Section 5.02(b) shall be applied (after any conversion by the respective Borrower of any amounts received in a currency other than Dollars in the case of the U.S. Borrower or Canadian Dollars in the case of the Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowers into Dollars or Canadian Dollars, respectively) at such time as is designated by the U.S. Borrower, but in no event later than the latest date permitted pursuant to Section 5.02(b) (the “Final Proceeds Application Date”):

(I) First, to permanently reduce the Total Revolving Loan Commitment until the Total Revolving Loan Commitment is reduced to $500,000,000 (whether or not any Revolving Loans are outstanding) and to repay any outstanding Revolving Loans other than Bankers’ Acceptance Loans. Any such repayment shall be allocated between Dollar Revolving Loans and Alternate Currency Revolving Loans as the U.S. Borrower shall elect; and

(II) Second, to the extent of any remaining Excess Proceeds to be applied under this Section 5.02(c) after application pursuant to clause (I), to (A) permanently reduce the Total Revolving Loan Commitment by an amount, if any, equal to the difference

-92-

between (x) such remaining Excess Proceeds minus (y) the amount of principal payments made by the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of Qualifying Indebtedness during the period between the period commencing 180 days prior to the commencement of the Asset Sale Period and ending on the Final Proceeds Application Date (excluding, however, any principal repayments that constituted scheduled amortization payments or prepayments in respect of Qualifying Indebtedness that was either (1) secured by a Lien on the property or assets sold in an Asset Sale or (2) required to be paid as a result of an Asset Sale), and (B) repay any outstanding Revolving Loans other than Bankers’ Acceptance Loans in the amount that the Total Revolving Loan Commitment is reduced pursuant to Clause (A), with such Total Revolving Loan Commitment reduction and repayment, if any, to be allocated between Dollar Revolving Loans and Alternate Currency Revolving Loans as the relevant Borrowers may elect.

(d) Application of Mandatory Prepayments Generally. With respect to each repayment of Revolving Loans required by this Section 5.02, the respective Borrower may designate the Types of Revolving Loans which are to be repaid and, in the case of Euro Rate Loans and Bankers’ Acceptance Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings, provided that: (i) in the case of repayments of Dollar Revolving Loans, repayments of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 5.02 may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless all Eurodollar Loans with Interest Periods ending on such date of required repayment and all Base Rate Loans have been paid in full; (ii) if any repayment of Euro Rate Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Revolving Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the respective Minimum Borrowing Amount for the respective Type of Revolving Loan, such Borrowing (x) in the case of Dollar Revolving Loans, shall be converted at the end of the then current Interest Period into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (y) in the case of Alternate Currency Revolving Loans, shall be repaid in full at the end of the then current Interest Period; (iii) no repayment of Bankers’ Acceptance Loans may be made prior to the maturity date of the related Bankers’ Acceptances; (iv) each repayment of any Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Revolving Loans and (v) any prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(iii) may not be made through Borrowings of additional Revolving Loans. In the absence of a designation by the respective Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.02, if at any time the mandatory prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 5.02(a) or 5.02(c) would result, after giving effect to the procedures set forth above, in any Borrower incurring breakage costs under Section 2.12 as a result of Eurodollar Loans being prepaid other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (the “Affected Eurodollar Loans”), then the U.S. Borrower may in its sole discretion initially deposit a portion (up to 100%) of the amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of the Affected Eurodollar Loans with the Administrative Agent (which deposit must be equal in amount to the amount of Affected Eurodollar Loans not immediately prepaid) to be held as security for the obligations of the U.S. Borrower hereunder pursuant to a cash collateral agreement (which shall permit investments in Cash Equivalents satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) to be entered into in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which agreement shall provide for the payment of interest to U.S. Borrower in respect of such deposit), with such cash collateral to be directly applied upon the first occurrence (or occurrences) thereafter of the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the relevant Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Loans (or such earlier date or dates as shall be

-93-

requested by the U.S. Borrower), to repay an aggregate principal amount of such Revolving Loans equal to the Affected Eurodollar Loans not initially repaid pursuant to this sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the immediately preceding sentence, all amounts deposited as cash collateral pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be held for the benefit of the Lenders whose Revolving Loans would otherwise have been immediately repaid with the amounts deposited and upon the taking of any action by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to the remedial provisions of Section 12, any amounts held as cash collateral pursuant to this Section 5.02(d) shall, subject to the requirements of applicable law, be immediately applied to the relevant Revolving Loans. Until actually applied to the repayment of Eurodollar Loans, interest shall continue to accrue thereon.

(e) Maturity Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrowers shall repay in full all outstanding Revolving Loans on the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date on which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated.

(f) Commitment Reduction. The Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall be reduced permanently on the date and by the amount of any repayment of Revolving Loans made pursuant to Section 5.02(b), with a corresponding aggregate decrease in Total Revolving Loan Commitment. The Total Revolving Loan Commitment and the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall not be reduced by any repayment of Revolving Loans made pursuant to Section 5.02(a).

(g) Sub-facility Commitment Reduction. Any reduction to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment, the U.S. Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment, the Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment and the Maximum Alternative Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment of such Lender on a pro rata basis, and Schedules I-A and I-B shall be deemed modified accordingly,

(h) Defaulting Lenders. Until the date on which the amount giving rise to a Lender Default of the applicable Lender shall have been reduced to zero (whether by the funding by such Defaulting Lender of any defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender or by the non-pro rata application of any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Loans in accordance with the terms of Section 5.01, Section 5.02 or by a combination thereof), any prepayment in respect of Loans shall not be applied to any Loan of a Defaulting Lender.

5.03. Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement or any Revolving Note shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not later than 12:00 Noon (local time in the city in which the Payment Office for the respective payments is located) on the date when due and shall be made in (x) Dollars in immediately available funds at the appropriate Payment Office of the Administrative Agent in respect of any obligation of the Borrowers under this Agreement except as otherwise provided in the immediately following clause (y) and (y) subject to the provisions of Section 2.17, in the relevant Applicable Currency in immediately available funds at the appropriate Payment Office (which in the case of Canadian Revolving Loans must be located in Canada) of the Administrative Agent, if such payment is

-94-

made in respect of (i) principal of, the Face Amount of or interest on Alternate Currency Revolving Loans, or (ii) any increased costs, indemnities or other amounts owing with respect to Alternate Currency Revolving Loans (or Commitments relating thereto), in the case of this clause (ii) to the extent the respective Lender which is charging same denominates the amounts owing in the relevant Applicable Currency. The Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon (local time in the city in which such payments are to be made)) like funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or Fees ratably to the Lenders entitled thereto. Any payments under this Agreement which are made later than 12:00 Noon (local time in the city in which such payments are to be made) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Revolving Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest and fees shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension.

5.04. Net Payments. (a) All payments made by any Borrower hereunder or under any Revolving Note or other Credit Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. Except as provided in Sections 5.04(b) and (c), all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding, except as provided in the second succeeding sentence, any tax imposed on or measured by the net income or profits of a Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or the jurisdiction in which it is resident or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or applicable lending office or other permanent establishment of such Lender is located or any subdivision thereof or therein) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, subject to Section 5.04(b), the respective Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or under any Revolving Note or other Credit Document, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Revolving Note or other Credit Document. If any amounts are payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to the preceding sentence, subject to Section 5.04(b), the respective Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender, upon the written request of such Lender, for the net additional amount of taxes imposed on or measured by the net income or profits of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or under the laws of any political subdivision or taxing authority of any such jurisdiction in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located and for any withholding of taxes as such Lender shall determine are payable by, or withheld from, such Lender in respect of such amounts so paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence and in respect of any amounts paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to this sentence. The respective Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the respective Borrower. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising from or with respect to such Taxes whether or not they were correctly or legally asserted.

-95-

(b) Each Lender (other than any Canadian Lender with Maximum Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments only) that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) agrees to deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Effective Date, or in the case of any such Lender (other than any Canadian Lender with Maximum Canadian Dollar Revolving Sub-Commitments only) that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.14 or 14.03 (unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (or successor forms) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Revolving Note, or (ii) if such Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D (any such certificate, a “Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or successor form) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any Revolving Note. In addition, each such Lender agrees that from time to time after the Effective Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it will deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN, or Form W-8 and a Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Revolving Note, or it shall immediately notify the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such form or certificate in which case such Lender shall not be required to deliver any such form or certificate pursuant to this Section 5.04(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.04(a), but subject to Section 14.03 and the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) each Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold income or similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Lender (other than any Canadian Lender with Maximum Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments only) which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes to the extent that such Lender has not provided to the U.S. Borrower U.S. Internal Revenue Service forms that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding and (y) the Borrowers shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 5.04(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be made to a Lender (other than any Canadian Lender with Maximum Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments only) in respect of income or similar taxes imposed by the United States if (I) such Lender has not provided to the U.S. Borrower the Internal Revenue Service Forms required to be provided by it to the U.S. Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.04(b) or (II) in the case of a payment, other than interest, to a Lender described in

-96-

clause (ii) above, to the extent that such forms do not establish a complete exemption from withholding of such taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the immediately preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section 5.04 (other than clause (e) below) and except as set forth in Section 14.03, each Borrower agrees to pay additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 5.04(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any amounts deducted or withheld by it as described in the immediately preceding sentence as a result of any changes that are effective after the Effective Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of income or similar Taxes.

(c) Each Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions and subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to file any certificate or document or to furnish any information as reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to any applicable treaty, law or regulation if the making of such filing or the furnishing of such information would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any additional amounts payable by the respective Borrower and would not, in the sole discretion of such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender.

(d) Nothing in this Section 5.04 shall require any Lender (or any Eligible Transferee) or the Administrative Agent to make available any of its tax returns (or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary, in its sole discretion).

(e) Subject to the last sentence of this Section 5.04, if any Canadian Lender (a) is not resident in Canada for the purpose of Income Tax Act (Canada), or (b) is not an authorized foreign bank which at all times holds all of its interest in any Canadian Obligations in the course of its Canadian banking business for purposes of subsection 212(13.3) of the Income Tax Act (Canada), or (c) is not otherwise exempt from being subject to deduction or withholding of income or similar Taxes imposed by Canada (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) (“Canadian Taxes”) on the basis established to the satisfaction of the Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowers and the Administrative Agent based on Applicable Law in effect on the Effective Date (or such later date on which it becomes a Canadian Lender) with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest, fees, commissions, or any other amount payable by any Canadian Revolving Loan Borrower under the Credit Documents: (i) the Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowers shall be entitled, to the extent that they are required to do so by Applicable Law, to deduct or withhold Canadian Taxes from interest, fees, commissions or other amounts payable under this Agreement for the account of such Canadian Lender; and (ii) the Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowers shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 5.04(a) to gross-up payments to be made to such Canadian Lender in respect of Canadian Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.04, the Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowers agree to pay any additional amounts and to indemnify the applicable Canadian Lender in the manner set forth in Section 5.04(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any incremental Canadian Taxes deducted or withheld by it as described in the immediately preceding sentence following (I) any changes after the Effective Date (or after the date such Lender became a Canadian Lender, as applicable) in any applicable law, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of such Canadian Taxes to the extent, and only to the extent, that the obligation to pay such incremental Canadian Taxes arises as a consequence of such change in applicable law or (II) any Sharing Event.

-97-

The occurrence of the Effective Date shall constitute a representation and warranty by each of the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders that all the conditions specified in this Section 6 exist as of the Effective Date (except to the extent that any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 are required to be satisfactory to or determined by any Lender, the Required Lenders, the Collateral Agent and/or the Administrative Agent or otherwise expressly calls for a subjective determination to be made by any Lender, the Required Lenders, the Collateral Agent and/or the Administrative Agent).

(b) Prior to the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank shall have received a Letter of Credit Request meeting the requirements of Section 3.03.

The acceptance of the proceeds of each Revolving Loan or the making of each Letter of Credit Request (occurring on the Effective Date and thereafter) shall constitute a representation and warranty by each Credit Party to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders that all the conditions specified in Section 6 (with respect to Credit Events on the Effective Date) and in this Section 7 (with respect to Credit Events on and after the Effective Date) and applicable to such Credit Event exist as of that time.

SECTION 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements. Each Borrower makes the following representations, warranties and agreements:

8.01. Status. Each of the U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries (i) is a duly organized and validly existing corporation, partnership, trust or limited liability company, as the case may be, in good standing (if applicable) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has the corporate, partnership, trust or limited liability company power and authority, as the case may be, to own or lease its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged and presently proposes to engage and (iii) is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the conduct of its business requires such qualification except (in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)) for failures which, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

-101-

8.02. Power and Authority. Each Credit Party has the corporate, partnership, trust or limited liability company power and authority, as the case may be, to execute, deliver and perform the terms and provisions of each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary corporate, partnership, trust or limited liability company action, as the case may be, to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of each of such Credit Documents. Each Credit Party has duly executed and delivered each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, and each of such Credit Documents constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance (but only with respect to any guaranties or security interests given by a Guarantor), reorganization or other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

8.03. No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by any Credit Party of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions thereof, (i) will contravene any provision of any applicable law, statute, rule or regulation or any applicable order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (ii) will conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien (except pursuant to the Pledge and Security Agreement) upon any of the properties or assets of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement or loan agreement, or any other material agreement, contract or instrument, to which the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets is bound or to which it may be subject, except for violations and defaults that may arise under contracts of the U.S. Borrower or a Subsidiary thereof otherwise permitted under this Agreement as a result of the sale of, or foreclosure of a lien upon, the Securities (as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement) of Subsidiaries pledged under the Pledge and Security Agreement to the extent that the prior consent of other parties to such contracts has not been obtained or other actions specified in such contracts have not been taken in connection with any such sale or foreclosure or (iii) will violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation, partnership agreement, declaration of trust, certificate of partnership, limited liability company agreement or by-laws, as the case may be, of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. The Obligations constitute indebtedness issued to replace the Credit Facility, as such term is defined in the Governing Senior Note Indenture.

8.04. Governmental Approvals. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with (except as have been obtained or made and which remain in full force and effect), or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to authorize, or is required in connection with, (i) the execution, delivery and performance of any Credit Document or (ii) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any Credit Document.

8.05. Financial Statements; Financial Condition; Undisclosed Liabilities; Projections; etc. (a) The consolidated balance sheets of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and the fiscal quarter ended March 23, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and shareholders’ equity of such Persons

-102-

for the fiscal year and fiscal quarter ended on such dates, as the case may be, copies of which have been furnished to the Lenders on or prior to the Effective Date, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries at the date of such balance sheets and the consolidated results of the operations of such Persons for the periods covered thereby. All of the foregoing financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied. Except as, and to the extent, disclosed in the U.S. Borrower’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, since December 31, 2006, nothing has occurred that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse change in any of (i) the legality, validity or enforceability of the Credit Documents taken as a whole, (ii) the ability of the U.S. Borrower to repay the Obligations, or (iii) the rights and remedies of the Lenders or the Agents under the Credit Documents.

(b) On and as of the Effective Date and on the date on which each Revolving Loan is made or each Letter of Credit is issued, on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to all Indebtedness (including the Revolving Loans and the Letters of Credit) being incurred or assumed and Liens created by each Credit Party in connection therewith, (x) the sum of the assets, at a fair valuation, of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) and the U.S. Borrower (on a stand-alone basis) will exceed their respective debts, (y) the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) and the U.S. Borrower (on a stand-alone basis) have not incurred and do not intend to incur, and do not believe that they will incur, debts beyond their ability to pay such debts as such debts mature and (z) the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) and the U.S. Borrower (on a stand-alone basis) have sufficient capital with which to conduct its business. For purposes of this Section 8.05(b) “debt” means any liability on a claim, and “claim” means (i) the right to payment whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, secured or unsecured, in each case, to the extent of the reasonably anticipated liability thereof, as determined by the U.S. Borrower in good faith or (ii) the absolute right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured.

(c) Except as fully disclosed in the financial statements (and footnotes applicable thereto) referred to in Section 8.05(a) or in the Schedules to this Agreement, there were as of the Effective Date no liabilities or obligations with respect to the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not due) of a nature required to be set forth in a balance sheet or footnote thereto prepared in accordance with GAAP which, either individually or in the aggregate, would be material to the U.S. Borrower or the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. As of the Effective Date, the U.S. Borrower does not know of any liability or obligation of itself or any of its Subsidiaries of any such nature that is not fully disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 8.05(a) or in the footnotes thereto which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) On and as of the Effective Date, the projections previously delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (the “Projections”), contain no statements or conclusions which are based upon or include information known to any Borrower to be misleading in any material respect or which fail to take into account known material information regarding the matters reported therein. On the Effective Date, the U.S. Borrower believes that the Projections are reasonable and attainable.

-103-

8.06. Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best knowledge of any Borrower, threatened (i) which purports to affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any Credit Document or (ii) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.07. True and Complete Disclosure. All factual information (taken as a whole) furnished by or on behalf of U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including, without limitation, all information contained in the Credit Documents) for purposes of or in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any of the other transactions contemplated herein or therein is, and all other such factual information (taken as a whole) hereafter furnished by or on behalf of U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is dated or certified and, to the best of each Borrower’s knowledge, not incomplete by omitting to state any fact necessary to make such information (taken as a whole) not misleading in any material respect at such time in light of the circumstances under which such information is or was provided.

8.08. Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. (a) The proceeds of all Revolving Loans shall be used by the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries, subject to the other restrictions set forth in this Agreement, for their working capital and general corporate, partnership, trust or limited liability company purposes, including without limitation for the consummation of acquisitions. Each Letter of Credit shall be used in support of any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement or the other Credit Documents.

(b) No part of the proceeds of any Revolving Loan, and no Letter of Credit, will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. Neither the making of any Revolving Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof nor the issuance of any Letter of Credit will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

8.09. Tax Returns and Payments. Each of the U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be timely filed, on the due dates thereof or within applicable grace periods, with the appropriate taxing authority, all Federal, material state and other material returns, statements, forms and reports for taxes (the “Returns”) required to be filed by or with respect to the income, properties or operations of the U.S. Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries. The Returns accurately reflect in all material respects all material liability for taxes of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the periods covered thereby except for amounts for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP. Each of the U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has paid all material taxes payable by them other than taxes which are not delinquent, and other than those that have been or would be contested in good faith if asserted by the appropriate taxing authority and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP. There is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation, audit, or claim now pending or, to the best knowledge of each Borrower, threatened by any authority

-104-

regarding any taxes relating to the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the Effective Date, the U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have properly accrued adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP for any amount of taxes in dispute for a Return which is the subject of any waiver extending the statute of limitations relating to the payment or collection of taxes of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any of the foregoing representations and warranties relate to any Returns or liabilities or taxes of Subsidiaries to be acquired in the Starwood Acquisition, in lieu of the foregoing representations, either (a) such representations and warranties are true and correct or (b) (i) the Starwood Tax Indemnity Agreement remains in full force and effect, and (ii) the indemnitors thereunder are capable of and are performing their obligations thereunder, or, in the case that such indemnitors are not performing such obligations, the U.S. Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, have adequate remedies for such non-performance under the Starwood Tax Indemnity Agreement and are diligently pursuing such remedies by appropriate proceedings and the failure of the indemnitors to be currently performing such obligations could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse change in any of (i) the legality, validity or enforceability of the Credit Documents taken as a whole, (ii) the ability of the U.S. Borrower to repay the Obligations, or (iii) the rights and remedies of the Lenders or the Agents under the Credit Documents.

8.10. Compliance with ERISA. (a) Each Plan that is a single employer plan as defined in Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA (a “Single Employer Plan”) is in substantial compliance with ERISA and the Code; no Reportable Event has occurred with respect to a Single Employer Plan; no Single Employer Plan is insolvent or in reorganization; to the best knowledge of the Borrowers, no Multiemployer Plan is insolvent or in reorganization; no Single Employer Plan has an Unfunded Current Liability; no Single Employer Plan which is subject to Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA has an accumulated funding deficiency, within the meaning of such Sections of the Code or ERISA, or has applied for or received an extension of any amortization period within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 303 or 304 of ERISA; all contributions required to be made by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate with respect to a Plan and a Foreign Pension Plan have been timely made; neither the U.S. Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any material liability to or on account of a Plan pursuant to Section 409, 502(i), 502(l), 515, 4062, 4063, 4064, 4069, 4201, 4204 or 4212 of ERISA or Section 401(a)(29), 4971, 4975 or 4980 of the Code or reasonably expects to incur any material liability (including any indirect, contingent, or secondary liability) under any of the foregoing Sections with respect to any Plan; no proceedings have been instituted to terminate or appoint a trustee to administer any Single Employer Plan; to the best knowledge of each Borrower, no proceedings have been instituted to terminate or appoint a trustee to administer any Multiemployer Plan; no condition exists which presents a substantial risk to the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate of incurring a material liability to or on account of a Single Employer Plan pursuant to the foregoing provisions of ERISA and the Code; to the best knowledge of each Borrower, no condition exists which presents a substantial risk to the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate of incurring any material liability to or on account of a Multiemployer Plan pursuant to the foregoing provisions of ERISA and the Code; the U.S. Borrower believes that the aggregate liabilities of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries and its ERISA Affiliates to all Multiemployer Plans in the event of a withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent

-105-

fiscal year of each such Plan ended prior to the date of the incurrence of any Revolving Loan or the issuance of any Letter of Credit, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; each group health plan (as defined in Section 607(1) of ERISA or Section 4980B(g)(2) of the Code) which covers or has covered employees or former employees of HHRI or any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate has at all times been operated in substantial compliance with the provisions of Part 6 of subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code; no lien imposed under the Code or ERISA on the assets of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate exists or, to the best knowledge of the U.S. Borrower, is likely to arise on account of any Plan; and HHRI and its Subsidiaries do not maintain or contribute to (A) any employee welfare benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) which provides benefits to retired employees or other former employees (other than as required by Section 601 of ERISA) or (B) any Plan, the obligations with respect to which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Each Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained in substantial compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities. Neither the U.S. Borrower nor or any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any material obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Pension Plan. The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Pension Plan, determined as of the end of the U.S. Borrower’s most recently ended fiscal year on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, does not exceed the current value of the assets of each Foreign Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities, in the aggregate, by a material amount.

8.11. The Pledge and Security Agreement; Equity Pledges. (a) As of any time that the Pledge and Security Agreement is required to be in effect pursuant to Section 10.15(d), the Pledge and Security Agreement creates (after all steps required under Articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC have been taken) in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in all right, title and interest of each Credit Party in the Pledge and Security Agreement Collateral described therein and owned by such Credit Party on any date on which this representation and warranty is made or deemed made to the extent that a security interest therein can be created pursuant to the UCC, which security interest shall, (i) upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of any certificates evidencing any Pledged Securities, (ii) upon the filing of appropriate financing statements under the UCC in respect of any uncertificated Pledged Securities that constitute a “general intangible” under the New York UCC or (iii) upon the completion of such other actions as may be required under the applicable provisions of the UCC (which delivery, filings and/or other actions have been done and remain in full force and effect as to the Pledge and Security Agreement Collateral owned by any Credit Party on any date on which this representation and warranty is made or deemed made), constitute a fully perfected first lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of such Credit Party in all of the Pledge and Security Agreement Collateral described therein, subject to no security interests of any other Person.

(b) As of any time that the Pledge and Security Agreement is in effect pursuant to Section 10.15(d), Part III of Schedule IV (as amended or supplemented in connection with a Reinstatement Event) sets forth, as of the date that the Pledge and Secuirty Agreement

-106-

Requirement is satisfied following a Reinstatement Event, whether the capital stock or other equity interests in each Subsidiary listed on Part I and Part II of Schedule IV is pledged (as of the Effective Date) pursuant to the Pledge and Security Agreement, and to the extent any such interest is not so pledged, Part III of Schedule IV indicates the reason therefor.

8.12. Properties. Each of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to all material properties owned by them, including all material property reflected in the balance sheets referred to in Section 8.05(a) (except as sold or otherwise disposed of since the date of such balance sheets).

8.13. Subsidiaries. (a) The U.S. Borrower has no Subsidiaries other than (i) those Subsidiaries listed on Schedule IV and (ii) new Subsidiaries created or acquired in compliance with Section 11.06. Schedule IV correctly sets forth, as of the Effective Date, the percentage ownership (direct or indirect) of HHRI and the U.S. Borrower in each class of capital stock or other equity of each of the U.S. Borrower’s Subsidiaries existing on the Effective Date and also identifies the direct owner thereof. As of the Effective Date, all of the Subsidiaries of the U.S. Borrower are Restricted Subsidiaries under the Governing Senior Note Indenture.

(b) Part I of Schedule IV sets forth, as of the Effective Date, each Guarantor as of such date. Part II of Schedule IV sets forth, as of the Effective Date, each Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower which is not a Guarantor on the Effective Date, which Part II of Schedule IV also shall specify the reason the respective Subsidiary is not required to be a Guarantor.

8.14. Compliance with Statutes, etc. Each of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all applicable statutes, regulations and orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all governmental bodies, domestic or foreign, in respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its property (including, without limitation, applicable statutes, regulations, orders and restrictions relating to zoning compliance and environmental standards and controls), except such noncompliances as could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.15. Investment Company Act. Neither the U.S. Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

8.16. [Intentionally Omitted].

8.17. Environmental Matters. (a) To the best knowledge of each Borrower, each of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries has complied with all applicable Environmental Laws and the requirements of any permits issued under such Environmental Laws. To the best knowledge of each Borrower, there are no pending or threatened Environmental Claims against the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Real Property owned, leased or operated by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. To the best knowledge of each of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries, there are no facts, circumstances, conditions or occurrences on any Real Property owned, leased or operated by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or on any property adjoining any such Real Property that could reasonably be expected (i) to form the basis

-107-

of an Environmental Claim against the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any such Real Property or (ii) to cause any such Real Property to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, use or transferability of such Real Property by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any applicable Environmental Law.

(b) To the best knowledge of the U.S. Borrower, Hazardous Materials have not at any time been generated, used, treated or stored on, or transported to or from, or Released on or from, any Real Property owned, leased or operated by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries except in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and reasonably required in connection with the operation, use and maintenance of any such Real Property by the U.S. Borrower or such Subsidiary’s business.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.17, the representations made in this Section 8.17 shall only be untrue if the aggregate effect of all failures and noncompliance of the types described above could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.18. Labor Relations.

(2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 10.15(a) or anything else in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, (I) no Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower shall be required to become a Guarantor or Pledgor, (II) in the event that any Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower is a Guarantor or Pledgor, such Subsidiary may be released from its obligations under the Subsidiaries Guaranty and the Pledge and Security Agreement, as applicable, upon notice by the U.S. Borrower to the Administrative Agent (so long as, in the case of a Subsidiaries Guaranty delivered pursuant to clause (y) of Section 10.15(a)(1), such Subsidiary is simultaneously released from all guaranties of Indebtedness of the U.S. Borrower), and (III) no capital stock or other equity of a Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower shall be required to be pledged under the Pledge and Security Agreement (or, in the case of clause (v) below, be required to be pledged until accepted by the Administrative Agent) and, to the extent theretofore pledged, may be released from the Pledge and Security Agreement upon notice by the U.S. Borrower to the Collateral Agent, in each case under one or more of the following circumstances:

(i) with respect to clauses (I), (II) and (III) above, such Subsidiary’s only assets consist of $5,000 or less in cash;

-118-

(ii) with respect to clauses (I) and (II) above only, such Subsidiary, or the direct or indirect parent company or general partner of such Subsidiary whose only significant asset (in each case) is the equity ownership of such Subsidiary (or the direct or indirect parent company of such Subsidiary), enters into (or is a party to) a material contract pursuant to a transaction otherwise permitted under this Agreement and the terms of which prohibit or restrict such Subsidiary from executing a counterpart of the Subsidiaries Guaranty and/or the Pledge and Security Agreement (and from becoming a guarantor under the Senior Notes or other Indebtedness other than Indebtedness incurred under such material contract);

(iii) with respect to clauses (I), (II) and (III) above, the terms of an applicable Requirement of Law prohibit or restrict such Subsidiary from executing a counterpart of the Subsidiaries Guaranty and/or the Pledge and Security Agreement or prohibits or restricts the capital stock or other equity of such Subsidiary from being pledged under the Pledge and Security Agreement (as opposed to restricting or prohibiting the ability of the Collateral Agent to exercise remedies with respect to such pledge); provided, however, that (x) the U.S. Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary shall have exercised commercially reasonable efforts to provide the pledge and/or guaranty contemplated hereby while complying with such Requirement of Law and (y) the failure to comply with such Requirement of Law would present a risk of material forfeiture or liability for the U.S. Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary or personal liability for any director or officer of the U.S. Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary or the Administrative Agent otherwise determines that compliance with such Requirement of Law is advisable and provided, further, however, that this clause (iii) shall not apply to actions by a Domestic Subsidiary other than the pledge by a Domestic Subsidiary of equity of a Foreign Subsidiary that is restricted by a Requirement of Law other than a Requirement of Law of the United States or any political subdivision thereof;

(iv) with respect to clause (III) above only, such Subsidiary, the U.S. Borrower or any other Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower, enters into (or is a party to) a material contract pursuant to a transaction otherwise permitted under this Agreement and the terms of which prohibit or restrict the capital stock or other equity of such Subsidiary from being pledged under the Pledge and Security Agreement (as opposed to restricting or prohibiting the ability of the Collateral Agent to exercise remedies with respect to such pledge); or

(v) with respect to any pledge of any interest in a Foreign Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent shall have determined in its sole discretion that the pledge pursuant to the Pledge and Security Agreement may expose any Lender to liability (but only for so long as the Administrative Agent shall have so determined), in which case the U.S. Borrower shall, if requested by the Administrative Agent at any time, promptly (and in any event within 20 Business Days) cause the applicable Pledgor to pledge such interests pursuant to a pledge and security agreement the terms of which (A) would not, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, result in any such liability and (B) are no less favorable to the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries as are the terms of the Pledge and Security Agreement.

-119-

(b) (1) Each Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower that is a Look-Through Subsidiary that is not a party to the Subsidiaries Guaranty and the Pledge and Security Agreement (or has been released from its obligations under the Subsidiaries Guaranty and/or the Pledge and Security Agreement) because of the restrictions described in Part III of Schedule IV or under the circumstances described in Section 10.15(a), (2) shall be required in accordance with the requirements of Section 10.15(c), following the termination of such restrictions (unless new restrictions are imposed under a material contract entered into pursuant to a transaction otherwise permitted under this Agreement) or acquiring assets (including additional cash) in addition to at least $5,000 in cash (i) to become a Guarantor and (ii) to the extent that such Subsidiary is a Look-Through Subsidiary, to become a Pledgor; provided, however, that the requirements of this clause (ii) shall not apply to any Subsidiary so long as such Subsidiary does not own equity interests in any other Person that are required under this Agreement to be pledged.

(2) The capital stock or other equity of each Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower that has not been pledged under the Pledge and Security Agreement (or has been released from the Pledge and Security Agreement) because of the restrictions described in Part III of Schedule IV or under the circumstances described in Section 10.15(a)(2) shall be required in accordance with the requirements of Section 10.15(c), following the termination of such restrictions (unless new restrictions are imposed under a material contract entered into pursuant to a transaction otherwise permitted under this Agreement) or such Subsidiary acquiring assets (including additional cash) in addition to at least $5,000 in cash, to be pledged pursuant to (and to the extent required by) the Pledge and Security Agreement.

(c) Each Subsidiary required to become a Guarantor or Pledgor or to pledge additional equity interests pursuant to the preceding Sections 10.15(a) and (b) shall (i) no later than the time of required delivery of the compliance certificate pursuant to Section 10.11(d) relating to the fiscal quarter during which such guaranty or pledge requirements became effective, become a Pledgor, provide a pledge of additional equity interests in or become a Guarantor, as applicable, by executing and delivering counterparts to the Subsidiaries Guaranty or Pledge and Security Agreement, as applicable, (ii) promptly thereafter (or such other time as is specified in Section 15(d) of the Pledge and Security Agreement with respect to delivery of the Partnership/LLC Notice and Pledge Acknowledgment referred to therein) in the case of the execution of any counterpart to the Pledge and Security Agreement or the pledge of any additional equity interests pursuant to Section 10.15(b)(2), cause to be executed and delivered all other relevant documentation necessary or appropriate to perfect the security interest granted by such Pledgor pursuant to the Pledge and Security Agreement, with all such actions to be taken to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent, and (iii) unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees in writing, deliver, no later than the time of required delivery of the compliance certificate pursuant to Section 10.11(d) relating to the subsequent fiscal quarter (or year end, as applicable) opinions of counsel of the type described in Section 6 as if such Subsidiary were a Credit Party on the Effective Date.

(d) Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 10.15(d), upon the written request to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral consisting of Pledged Securities pledged pursuant to the Pledge and Security Agreement (the “Stock Collateral”) shall be released, and the requirements of Sections 10.14 and 10.15(a), (b) and (c) and the related

-120-

provisions of the Pledge and Security Agreement shall cease to be in effect to the extent they relate to pledges but shall continue to be effective with respect to guarantees, if all of the following conditions have been satisfied on or prior to the date of release (the “Collateral Release Date”): (i) for the two most recent consecutive fiscal quarters of the U.S. Borrower ending prior to the Collateral Release Date (which may include fiscal quarters ending after December 2004) the Leverage Ratio is less than 6:00:1.00, (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred on or prior to and be continuing on the Collateral Release Date, (iii) the U.S. Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent at least 15 Business Days prior to the Collateral Release Date a request to release Pledged Collateral, which request shall (x) specify the proposed Collateral Release Date, (y) if not already provided, provide financial statements pursuant to Section 10.11 for such fiscal quarters, and (z) contain a certification of an Authorized Financial Officer that the conditions to release of Stock Collateral have been satisfied (and providing a computation of the Leverage Ratio demonstrating such compliance), and (iv) all Stock Collateral being released shall also be released as collateral for the U.S. Borrower’s obligations under the Governing Senior Note Indenture; provided, however, that in the event the Leverage Ratio equals or exceeds 6:00 to 1:00 at any time after the Collateral Release Date for a period of two consecutive fiscal quarters (a “Reinstatement Event”), the security interest in all such released Pledged Collateral shall be recreated within 30 days, and the requirements of Sections 10.14 and 10.15(a), (b) and (c) shall thereafter once again be in effect. The Collateral Agent shall promptly execute such documents and take such other actions as the U.S. Borrower may reasonably request to evidence any release of the Stock Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.15(d). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.15(d), the U.S. Borrower shall have the option to defer the release of the Stock Collateral on the Collateral Release Date while causing the provisions of Sections 10.14 and 10.15(a), (b) and (c) and the related provisions of the Pledge and Security Agreement that require pledges in respect of newly-formed or newly-acquired Subsidiaries to cease to be effective on the Collateral Release Date. The Lenders agree that, by notice dated September 20, 2005, to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as the administrative agent under the Original Credit Agreement, the conditions set forth in the first sentence of this clause (d) were satisfied prior to the Effective Date with respect to the fiscal quarters of the U.S. Borrower ended March 25, 2005 and June 17, 2005, and the U.S. Borrower invoked the provisions of the prior sentence of this clause (d) with the effect that such provisions shall continue to be in effect until such time as such Reinstatement Event occurs. Not later than 30 days following the occurrence of a Reinstatement Event, all representations and warranties set forth in Section 8.11 and the Pledge and Security Agreement relating to the Pledge and Security Agreement Requirement shall be satisfied.

(e) Notwithstanding the last sentence of Sections 2.01(a) and 2.01(b) or Section 15.01, with respect to Canadian Borrowers that are not Look-Through Subsidiaries, if after the date hereof such Canadian Borrower is no longer party to a material contract that prohibits such Canadian Borrower from providing a joint and several guarantee of the Obligations of each Canadian Borrower under this Agreement, such Canadian Borrower shall enter into and deliver a joint and several guarantee of each Canadian Borrower’s Obligations under this Agreement (but excluding any Obligations arising under the Subsidiaries Guaranty or Pledge and Security Agreement) pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent within 30 days after the termination of such contractual restrictions, together with such legal opinions and certificates as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

-121-

10.16. End of Fiscal Years; Fiscal Quarters. The U.S. Borrower will cause (i) each of its, and each of its Subsidiaries’, fiscal years to end on December 31 and (ii) each of its, and each of its Subsidiaries’, first three fiscal quarters to end on the last day of the 12th, 24th and 36th week, respectively, of each fiscal year and the fourth fiscal quarter to end on December 31, it being understood that (x) if any Hotel Property owned or leased by a Subsidiary of HHRI is managed or leased by an Approved Lessee or a Facility Manager other than Marriott International or any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Marriott International, HHRI and the U.S. Borrower shall cause such Subsidiary’s fiscal years and fiscal quarters to end on dates as close as reasonably practicable to the dates set forth above in this Section 10.16 and (y) HHRI and the U.S. Borrower may elect to change each of its and each of its Subsidiaries’ fiscal quarters to end on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31.

10.17. Environmental Matters. (a) The U.S. Borrower shall comply and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and each property owned or leased by such parties to comply in all material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws currently or hereafter in effect except for such non-compliance as could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and will pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such compliance, and will keep or cause to be kept all such Real Property free and clear of any Liens imposed pursuant to such Environmental Laws.

(b) At the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Banks, which request shall specify in reasonable detail the basis therefor, at any time and from time to time after (i) the Administrative Agent receives notice under Section 10.11(h) of any event for which notice is required to be delivered for any Real Property or (ii) the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries are not in compliance with Section 10.17(a) with respect to any Real Property, the U.S. Borrower will provide, at its sole cost and expense, an environmental site assessment report concerning any such Real Property now or hereafter owned, leased or operated by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, prepared by an environmental consulting firm reasonably approved by the Administrative Agent, indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous Materials and the potential cost of any removal or remedial action in connection with any Hazardous Materials on such Real Property. If the U.S. Borrower fails to provide the same within 90 days after such request was made, the Administrative Agent may order the same, and the U.S. Borrower shall grant and hereby grants, to the Administrative Agent and the Banks and their agents access to such Real Property and specifically grants the Administrative Agent and the Banks an irrevocable non-exclusive license, subject to the rights of tenants, to undertake such an assessment, all at the U.S. Borrower’s expense.

SECTION 11. Negative Covenants. Each Borrower hereby covenants and agrees (as to itself and each of its Subsidiaries) that from and after the Effective Date and until the Total Revolving Loan Commitment has terminated and the Revolving Loans and Revolving Notes, together with interest, Fees and all other Obligations incurred hereunder and thereunder, are paid in full:

11.01. Liens. The U.S. Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist:

-122-

(i) any Lien (other than Permitted Liens, to the extent such Permitted Liens secure Indebtedness) upon or with respect to any property or assets (real or personal, tangible or intangible) of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, if such Lien secures any Indebtedness of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries other than (x) Secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred or to exist hereunder, (y) Indebtedness secured by a Lien under the Pledge and Security Agreement or (z) Indebtedness owed to the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, that the foregoing shall not permit any Lien on the Collateral except pursuant to the Pledge and Security Agreement, or

(ii) any Lien upon or with respect to Capital Stock in any Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower securing Indebtedness of the U.S. Borrower, in the event that the Obligations are no longer secured by Liens under the Pledge and Security Agreement; provided, however, that this Section 11.01(ii) shall not prohibit Liens with respect to the Capital Stock of a Subsidiary that are imposed by a material contract (other than the Senior Note Indenture) entered into by the U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary pursuant to a transaction otherwise permitted by this Agreement.

11.02. Indebtedness. The U.S. Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur or assume:

(i) any Indebtedness if (a) either (I) immediately before giving effect to the incurrence or assumption of such Indebtedness there exists a Default or Event of Default or (II) immediately after giving effect to the incurrence or assumption of such Indebtedness after giving effect to the application of the proceeds thereof, there exists a Default or Event of Default or (b) based on calculations made by the U.S. Borrower on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to such incurrence or assumption and as if such incurrence or assumption had occurred on the first day of the respective Calculation Period, a Default or Event of Default will exist in respect of, or would have existed during the Test Period last reported (or required to be reported pursuant to Section 10.11(a) or Section 10.11(b), as the case may be) prior to the date of the respective incurrence or assumption in respect of, the financial covenants contained in Sections 9.01 through 9.03, inclusive; provided that the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.02(i) shall not apply to (x) accrued expenses and current trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business (to the extent that any such amounts constitute Indebtedness); (y) Indebtedness under Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements entered into with respect to other Indebtedness permitted under this Agreement; and (z) accrued and deferred management fees under any Management Agreement (to the extent that any such amounts constitute Indebtedness); or

(ii) any Contingent Obligations (excluding Contingent Obligations relating to Customary Non-Recourse Exclusions except to the extent a personal recourse claim is made in connection therewith) of the U.S. Borrower in respect of Non-Recourse Indebtedness, if the aggregate amount of such Contingent Obligations that are incurred by the U.S. Borrower in respect of Non-Recourse Indebtedness after the Effective Date and remain outstanding exceeds 3% of the Adjusted Total Assets of the U.S. Borrower.

-123-

11.03. Limitation on Certain Restrictions on Subsidiaries. The U.S. Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower to (a) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its capital stock or any other interest or participation in its profits owned by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or pay any Indebtedness owed to the U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower, (b) make loans or advances to the U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower or (c) transfer any of its properties or assets to the U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower, except in each case for such encumbrances or restrictions:

(i) which do not materially adversely affect the U.S. Borrower’s ability to repay the Obligations when due and, in the U.S. Borrower’s reasonable estimation, the ability to comply with the Applicable Covenants set forth in Sections 9.01 through 9.03, inclusive, and Section 9.04(b), or

(ii) existing under or by reason of (A) applicable law, (B) this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (C) the Senior Note Documents or (D) documents or instruments relating to Secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted hereunder; provided that in the case of this clause (D), such restrictions relate solely to assets constituting collateral thereunder or cash proceeds from or generated by such assets.

11.04. Limitation on Issuance of Capital Stock. The U.S. Borrower will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to issue any capital stock (including by way of sales of treasury stock) or other equity interests or any options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, capital stock or other equity interests, unless (a) the same do not materially adversely affect the U.S. Borrower’s ability to repay the Obligations when due or (b) at the time of such issuance, the Financial Condition Test is satisfied.

11.05. Modification and Enforcement of Certain Agreements. (a) At any time that the Leverage Ratio equals or exceeds 6.00:1.00, the U.S. Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, alter, amend, modify, rescind, terminate, supplement or waive any of their respective rights under, or fail to comply in all material respects with, any of its material Contractual Obligations (other than the Governing Senior Note Indenture) except any of the foregoing which do not materially adversely affect (i) the U.S. Borrower’s ability to repay the Obligations when due or (ii) in the U.S. Borrower’s reasonable estimation, the ability to comply with the Applicable Covenants set forth in Sections 9.01 through 9.03, inclusive, and Section 9.04(b).

-124-

11.06. Limitation on Creation of Subsidiaries. The U.S. Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, establish, create or acquire after the Effective Date any Subsidiary unless the same will not materially adversely affect (a) the U.S. Borrower’s ability to repay the Obligations when due or (b) in the U.S. Borrower’s reasonable estimation, the ability to comply with the Applicable Covenants set forth in Sections 9.01 through 9.03, inclusive, and Section 9.04(b); provided that the U.S. Borrower shall comply with its obligations under Section 10.15 and the Pledge and Security Agreement with respect to any such new Subsidiary within the time periods applicable thereto.

11.07. Transactions with Affiliates. Neither the U.S. Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries will, directly or indirectly, enter into, renew or extend any transaction or series of transactions (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of property or assets, or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of the U.S. Borrower (“Affiliate Transactions”), other than Exempted Affiliate Transactions, except upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the U.S. Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary than could be obtained, at the time of such transaction or, if such transaction is pursuant to a written agreement, at the time of the execution of the agreement providing therefor, in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate.

The foregoing limitation does not limit, and shall not apply to:

(i) Except as otherwise required pursuant to the last paragraph of this Section 11.07, transactions approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of HHRI;

(ii) Affiliate Transactions on terms and conditions which do not materially adversely affect (a) the U.S. Borrower’s ability to repay the Obligations when due or (b) in the U.S. Borrower’s reasonable estimation, the ability of the U.S. Borrower to comply with the Applicable Covenants set forth in Sections 9.01 through 9.03, inclusive, and Section 9.04(b);

-125-

Directors (or any authorized committee thereof) of the general partner of the U.S. Borrower who are disinterested in the subject matter of the transaction, and (b) with an aggregate value in excess of $25 million, will require the U.S. Borrower to obtain a favorable written opinion from an independent financial advisor of national reputation as to the fairness from a financial point of view of such transaction to the U.S. Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower, except that in the case of a real estate transaction or related real estate transactions with an aggregate value in excess of $25 million but not in excess of $50 million, an opinion may instead be obtained from an independent, qualified real estate appraiser that the consideration received in connection with such transaction is fair to the U.S. Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower.

As used herein, the term “Exempted Affiliate Transaction” means (i) employee compensation arrangements approved by a majority of independent (as to such transactions) members of the Board of Directors of the general partner of the U.S. Borrower, (ii) payments of reasonable fees and expenses to the members of the Board of Directors of HHRI, the general partner of the U.S. Borrower or their Subsidiaries, (iii) transactions solely between the U.S. Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries or solely among Subsidiaries of the U.S. Borrower, (iv) Permitted Tax Payments, (v) Procurement Contracts, (vi) Operating Agreements, and (vii) Investments, Dividends and payments in respect of subordinated indebtedness otherwise permitted under Sections 11.10 and 11.11, as applicable.

11.08. Sales of Assets. (a) The U.S. Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate any Asset Sale, unless (i) the consideration received by the U.S. Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary is at least equal to the fair market value of the assets sold or disposed of as determined by the Board of Directors of the general partner U.S. Borrower in good faith and (ii) at least 75% of the consideration received consists of cash, Cash Equivalents and/or real estate assets; provided that, with respect to the sale of one or more real estate properties, up to 75% of the consideration may consist of Indebtedness of the purchaser of such real estate properties so long as such Indebtedness is secured by a first priority Lien on the real estate property or properties sold; and provided further that, for purposes of this clause (ii) the amount of (A) any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations) that is required to be repaid or assumed (and is either repaid or assumed by the transferee of the related assets) by virtue of such Asset Sale and which is secured by a Lien on the property or assets sold and (B) any securities or other obligations received by the U.S. Borrower, or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are immediately converted by the U.S. Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (or as to which the U.S. Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary has received at or prior to the consummation of the Asset Sale a commitment (which may be subject to customary conditions) from a nationally recognized investment, merchant or commercial bank to convert into cash within 90 days of the consummation of such Asset Sale and which are thereafter actually converted into cash within such 90-day period) will be deemed to be cash. The U.S. Borrower shall cause the Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale to be applied in the manner required by Section 5.02(b). All Indebtedness secured by the assets sold in the Asset Sale shall be repaid (or irrevocably defeased) except to the extent such Indebtedness is assumed by the transferee of the related assets or the U.S. Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries are released from such Indebtedness. In addition, no Asset Sale shall be permitted if a Default or Event of Default then exists or would result therefrom or, based on calculations made by the U.S. Borrower on a Pro Forma Basis after giving

-126-

effect to such Asset Sale and as if such Asset Sale had occurred on the first day of the respective Calculation Period, a Default or Event of Default will exist in respect of, or would have existed during the Test Period last reported (or required to be reported pursuant to Section 10.11(a) or 10.11(b), as the case may be) prior to the date of the respective Asset Sale in respect of, the Applicable Covenants contained in Sections 9.01 through 9.03, inclusive.

(b) Notwithstanding, and without complying with, any the provisions of the foregoing paragraph (a) or Section 5.02(b):

(i) the U.S. Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries may, in the ordinary course of business, convey, sell, lease, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of inventory acquired and held for resale in the ordinary course of business;

(ii) the U.S. Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries may convey, sell, lease, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of assets pursuant to and in accordance with Section 11.09;

(iii) the U.S. Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries may sell or dispose of damaged, worn out or other obsolete property in the ordinary course of business so long as such property is no longer necessary for the proper conduct of the business of the U.S. Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable; and

(iv) the U.S. Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries may exchange assets held by the U.S. Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower for one or more real estate properties and/or one or more Related Businesses of any Person or entity owning one or more real estate properties and/or one or more Related Businesses; provided that the Board of Directors of the general partner of the U.S. Borrower has determined in good faith that the fair market value of the assets received by the U.S. Borrower or any such Restricted Subsidiary are approximately equal to the fair market value of the assets exchanged by the U.S. Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary.

11.09. Consolidation, Merger, etc. The U.S. Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries which are Guarantors to, wind up, liquidate or dissolve its affairs or enter into any transaction of merger or consolidation, and the U.S. Borrower will not sell, convey or transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property and assets (as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in one transaction or a series of related transactions) except that:

(i) any Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower which is a Guarantor may engage in a merger constituting an asset sale or an asset acquisition otherwise permitted under this Agreement;

SECTION 13. The Agents.

13.01. Appointment. The Lenders hereby designate DB as the Administrative Agent and as Collateral Agent to act as specified herein and in the other Credit Documents. The Lenders hereby designate (x) Bank of America, N.A. as Syndication Agent and (z) each of Citicorp North America Inc., Société Générale and Calyon New York Branch, as Co-Documentation Agents, in each case to act as specified herein and in the other Credit Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Revolving Note by the acceptance of such Revolving Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, any Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates.

13.02. Nature of Duties. (a) No Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Credit Documents. No Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it or them hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct. The duties of the Agents shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; no Agent shall have by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder of any Revolving Note; and nothing in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose on any Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Credit Document, each of the Arrangers, Bank of America, N.A. as Syndication Agent and each of Citicorp North America Inc., Société Générale and Calyon New York Branch, as Co-Documentation Agents, are named as such for recognition purposes only, and in their respective capacities as such shall have no powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; it being understood and agreed that each Arranger, the Syndication Agent and the Co-Documentation Agents shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of “Agents” as, and to the extent, provided for under Sections 13.06 and 14.01. Without limitation of the foregoing, none of the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent or the Co-Documentation Agents shall, solely by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any other Person

13.03. Lack of Reliance on the Agents. Independently and without reliance upon any Agent (for purposes of this Section 13.03, the term “Agent” shall include all officers, directors, agents, employees and affiliates of the respective Agent), each Lender and the holder of each Revolving Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrowers and

-138-

their Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Revolving Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Revolving Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Revolving Loans or at any time or times thereafter. No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Revolving Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the financial condition of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the financial condition of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

13.04. Certain Rights of the Agents. If any Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, such Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and such Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender and no holder of any Revolving Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders, or if required by Section 14.11, all of the Lenders.

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

13.06. Indemnification. To the extent any Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Credit Parties, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify such Agent, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees, pro rata based on their respective voting rights determined in the definition of “Required Lenders” (for this purpose, determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders at such time), for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by such Agent in performing its respective duties hereunder or under any other Credit Document, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

-139-

13.07. Each Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation to make Revolving Loans, or issue or participate in Letters of Credit, under this Agreement, each Person serving as an Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the term “Lenders,” “Required Lenders,” “holders of Revolving Notes” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Person serving as an Agent in its individual capacity. Each Person serving as an Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

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

13.09. Removal of or Resignation by the Agents. (a) Any Agent (including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent) may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below; provided that the resignation by the Collateral Agent shall only be effective upon the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent.

(b) Upon any notice of resignation by, or the removal of, any Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent hereunder who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the U.S. Borrower.

(c) If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 30 day period, the resigning Agent, with the consent of the U.S. Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), shall then appoint a successor Agent who shall serve as Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above.

(d) If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above by the 35th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the resigning Agent, the resigning Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of such Agent hereunder and/or under any other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above.

-140-

(e) In addition, the Required Lenders shall have the right to remove the Administrative Agent and appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the U.S. Borrower in the event that the Administrative Agent has been grossly negligent or has willfully misconducted itself in performing its functions and duties under this Agreement or any other Credit Document (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

SECTION 14. Miscellaneous.

14.01. Payment of Expenses, etc. The U.S. Borrower agrees that it shall: (i) whether or not the transactions contemplated herein are consummated, pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of insurance independent consultants and counsel retained by the Administrative Agent, including ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stirling Scales) in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein, any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto or thereto, of the Administrative Agent in connection with its syndication efforts with respect to this Agreement and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the reasonable costs and expenses of each of the Lenders in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and, following an Event of Default, for each of the Lenders) (it being understood that the provisions of this clause (i) does not include the normal administrative charges of the Administrative Agent in administering the Revolving Loans (which amounts are included in a separate letter with the Administrative Agent)); (ii) pay and hold each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present and future stamp, excise and other similar taxes with respect to the foregoing matters and save each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission (other than to the extent attributable to such Lender) to pay such taxes; and (iii) indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, affiliates and agents from and hold each of them harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations (including removal or remedial actions), losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and disbursements) incurred by, imposed on or assessed against any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of, (a) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Lender is a party thereto) related to the entering into and/or performance of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the use or proposed use of the proceeds of any Revolving Loans hereunder or the consummation of any transactions contemplated herein or in any other Credit Document or the exercise of any of their rights or remedies provided herein or in the other Credit Documents, or (b) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials in the air, surface water or groundwater or on the surface or subsurface of any Real Property owned, leased or at any time operated by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Release, generation, storage, transportation, handling or disposal of Hazardous Materials at any location, whether or not owned, leased or operated by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the non-compliance of any Real Property with foreign, federal, state and local laws, regulations, and ordinances (including

-141-

applicable permits thereunder) applicable to any Real Property, or any Environmental Claim asserted against the U.S. Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any Real Property owned, leased or at any time operated by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, including, in each case, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and other consultants incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding (but excluding any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses to the extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision)). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Administrative Agent or any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the U.S. Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Lender shall have any liability to the Credit Parties for any punitive damages.

14.02. Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telegraphic, telex, telecopier or cable communication) and mailed, telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, cabled or delivered: if to any Borrower, at the U.S. Borrower’s address specified opposite its signature below; if to any Lender, at its address specified opposite its name on Schedule II; and if to the Administrative Agent, at the Notice Office; or, as to any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto and, as to each Lender, at such other address as shall be designated by such Lender in a written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. All such notices and communications shall, when mailed, telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, or cabled or sent by overnight courier, be effective when deposited in the mails, delivered to the telegraph company, cable company or overnight courier, as the case may be, or sent by telex or telecopier, except that notices and communications to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent or the U.S. Borrower, as the case may be (or when the addressee refuses to accept delivery).

14.03. Benefit of Agreement. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the prior written consent of the Lenders (and any attempted such assignment without such consent shall be null and void) and, provided further, that, although any Lender may grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder and the participant shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and no Lender may transfer or assign any portion of its Commitments hereunder except as provided in Section 14.03(b) and 14.03(d), provided further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Revolving Loan or Revolving Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon or Fees (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to

-142-

Section 14.06(a) shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or Fees for purposes of this clause (i), so long as the primary purpose of the respective amendments or modifications to the financial definitions or to Section 14.06(a) was not to reduce the interest or Fees payable hereunder), or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Revolving Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower or any other Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Pledge and Security Agreement Collateral under the Pledge and Security Agreement (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Revolving Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Revolving Loan Commitment (and related outstanding Obligations hereunder) to (i) its parent company and/or any affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or to one or more Lenders or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans, any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor, (y) assign all or a portion of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment (and related outstanding Obligations thereunder) to an Eligible Transferee, and, in the case of a partial assignment of such Revolving Loan Commitment, such assignment shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent (and the assignor shall maintain a minimum amount of $5,000,000 for its own account unless the assignor shall assign its entire interest), and all assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, or (z) if such Lender is a Canadian Lender, assign all or a portion of such Canadian Lender’s Maximum Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment and related Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment (and related outstanding Obligations thereunder) to an Eligible Transferee, and, in the case of a partial assignment of such Maximum Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment, such assignment shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent (and the assignor shall maintain a minimum amount of $5,000,000 for its own account unless the assignor shall assign its entire interest), and all assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Canadian Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided that (i) the assignment by any Lender shall include a pro rata assignment of its (or its Affiliate’s) Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments, (ii) the consent of the U.S. Borrower (which may not be unreasonably withheld) shall be required for any assignment pursuant to clause (y) above, provided that such consent shall not be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) any assignment of all or any portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Revolving Loan Commitment

-143-

has terminated, any assignment of Obligations originally extended pursuant to the Revolving Loan Commitments) shall be made on a basis such that the respective assignee participates in Revolving Loans, and in Letter of Credit Outstandings, in accordance with the Revolving Loan Commitment (and Sub-Commitments described above) so assigned (or if the Revolving Loan Commitment has terminated, on the same basis as participated in by the Lenders with Revolving Loan Commitments (and Sub-Commitments described above) prior to the termination thereof), (iv) at such time Schedule I-A or Schedule I-B, as the case may be, shall be deemed modified to reflect the Revolving Loan Commitments and the Sub-Commitments of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, as applicable, (v) upon surrender of the old Revolving Notes, if any, new Revolving Notes will be issued to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender (to the extent requested by such Lenders), such new Revolving Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.06 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Revolving Loan Commitments and Sub-Commitments, as applicable, (vi) the consent of the Administrative Agent and, if the Person serving as the Administrative Agent is not a Canadian Lender, any Canadian Lender whose Maximum Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment is not exceeded by any other Canadian Lender shall be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) or clause (z) above (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld), (vii) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500, (viii) with respect to clause (z) only, such Eligible Transferee shall be a resident in Canada for the purpose of the Income Tax Act (Canada) or an authorized foreign bank which at all times holds all of its interest in any Canadian Obligations in the course of its Canadian banking business for purposes of subsection 212(13.3) of the Income Tax Act (Canada), or otherwise able to establish to the satisfaction of the Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowers and the Administrative Agent based on applicable law in effect at the time of such assignment that such Eligible Transferee is not subject to deduction or withholding of Canadian Taxes with respect to any payments to such Eligible Transferee of interest, fees, commissions, or any other amount payable by any Canadian Revolving Loan Borrower under the Credit Documents, and (x) with respect to clause (z) only, no such assignment shall be permitted unless, upon the effectiveness of such assignment, the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Eligible Transferee or its Affiliate equals or exceeds the Maximum Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment of such Eligible Transferee, and, provided further, that such transfer or assignment will not be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 14.15. The Administrative Agent will promptly give the Borrower notice of any assignment to an Eligible Transferee although the failure to give any such notice shall not affect such assignment or result in any liability by the Administrative Agent. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 14.03(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Revolving Loan Commitment or Sub-Commitment, as the case may be. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 14.03(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable a Section 5.04(b)(ii)Certificate) described in Section 5.04(b). To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitments and related outstanding Obligations or this Section 14.03(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs or Taxes under Section 2.11, 2.12 or 5.04 from those being charged by

-144-

the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay or reimburse such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Revolving Loans and Revolving Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Revolving Loans and Revolving Notes to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee. No pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

(d) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no RL Lender that at the applicable time has, or that has an Affiliate that has, a Maximum Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment may assign all or any portion of its Revolving Loan Commitment unless the assignment includes an assignment of all or the applicable portion of both the Maximum Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment and the Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment of such Revolving Loan Commitment to the applicable Eligible Transferee or an Affiliate of such Eligible Transferee (the “Assignee Canadian Lender”) and the Assignee Canadian Lender is a resident in Canada for the purpose of the Income Tax Act (Canada) or an authorized foreign bank which at all times holds all of its interest in any Canadian Obligations in the course of its Canadian banking business for purposes of subsection 212(13.3) of the Income Tax Act (Canada), or is otherwise able to establish to the satisfaction of the Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowers and the Administrative Agent based on applicable law in effect at the time of such assignment that such Assignee Canadian Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of Canadian Taxes with respect to any payments to such Assignee Canadian Lender of interest, fees, commissions, or any other amount payable by any Canadian Revolving Loan Borrower under the Credit Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.03(d), an RL Lender that at the applicable time has, or that has an Affiliate that has, a Maximum Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment may assign such portion, if any, of its Revolving Loan Commitment in excess of the Maximum Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment, subject to the requirements of Section 14.03(b).

14.04. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any holder of any Revolving Note in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or any other Credit Party and the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the holder of any Revolving Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the holder of any Revolving Note would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the holder of any Revolving Note to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

-145-

14.05. Payments Pro Rata. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, it shall distribute such payment to the Lenders (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise (except pursuant to Section 2.14 or 14.03)), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Revolving Loans or Commitment Commission or Canadian Commitment Commission, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 14.05(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.

14.06. Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the U.S. Borrower to the Lenders).

(b) Except as otherwise specified in Section 11, for purposes of computations of baskets included in Section 11 (including any Roll Forward Amount), actions during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004, including prior to the Effective Date, shall be included.

14.13. Domicile of Revolving Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Revolving Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 14.13 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 2.11, 2.12 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective

-150-

Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs or Taxes of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective transfer).

14.14. Confidentiality. (a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 14.14, each Lender agrees that it will use its reasonable efforts not to disclose without the prior consent of the U.S. Borrower (other than to its employees, auditors, advisors or counsel or to another Lender if such Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in its reasonable good faith discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 14.14 to the same extent as such Lender) any information with respect to any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries which has been, is now or is in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document and which is designated by any Credit Party to the Lenders in writing as confidential, provided that any Lender may disclose any such information (a) as has become generally available to the public, (b) as may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (c) as may be required or appropriate in respect of any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (d) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (e) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (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 14.14(a)), or to the NAIC or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender and (g) to any prospective or actual transferee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Revolving Notes, Commitments or Revolving Loans or any interest therein by such Lender, provided that such prospective transferee agrees to be subject to confidentiality provisions as restrictive as those of this Section14.14(a).

(b) The Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that each Lender may share with any of its affiliates any information related to Credit Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any nonpublic customer information regarding the creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 14.14 to the same extent as such Lender), it being understood that for purposes of this Section 14.14(b), the term “affiliate” shall mean any direct or indirect holding company of a Lender as well as any direct or indirect Subsidiary of such holding company.

14.15. Register. Each Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as the Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this Section 14.15, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Revolving Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Revolving Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Revolving Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitments of such Lender

-151-

and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Revolving Loan made pursuant to such Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitments and Revolving Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Revolving Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Revolving Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 14.03(b). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Revolving Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Revolving Note evidencing such Revolving Loan, and thereupon one or more new Revolving Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender. The U.S. Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 14.15, provided that the U.S. Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent for any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense which resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent.

14.16. Commercial Loan Transactions. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that the making of its Revolving Loans and the issuance by the Borrower of a Revolving Note to such Lender are in the nature of a commercial loan transaction, and that no such Lender shall assert that such actions are a securities transaction regulated under the Securities Exchange Act, the Securities Act or any other Federal or state securities laws, it being understood that nothing in this Section 14.16 shall limit the rights of the Lenders pursuant to Section 14.01 or 14.03.

14.17. Limitations on Recourse.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or in any of the other Credit Documents, but subject to the last sentence of this Section 14.17(a) and clause (b) of this Section 14.17, the U.S. Borrower’s Obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall be limited recourse obligations of the U.S. Borrower, enforceable against the U.S. Borrower (and its assets) only and not against any constituent partner in the U.S. Borrower. The foregoing provisions of this Section 14.17 shall not impair the liability of the Guarantors under the Subsidiaries Guaranty, the liability of the U.S. Borrower under its guarantee contained in Section 16 or the liens and security interests created by the Pledge and Security Agreement which were granted as security for the Obligations of the Borrowers and the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Subsidiaries Guaranty) of the Guarantors.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of clause (a) of this Section 14.17, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have recourse to HHRI (in its capacity as the general partner in the U.S. Borrower) to the extent (but only to the extent) of any loss, cost, damage, expense or liability incurred by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders by reason of (i) any unlawful act on the part of HHRI, or (ii) any misappropriation of funds by HHRI in contravention of the provisions of the Credit Documents.

-152-

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

(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Borrowers covenant and agree to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate or exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

(c) For purposes of determining the Canadian Dollar Equivalent or the Dollar Equivalent, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

14.19. Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Credit Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of such Lender wherever located or by any Person controlling such Lender) to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of such Credit Party to such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 14.05(b), and all other claims by such Lender against such Credit Party of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured.

-153-

14.20. Termination of Liens. Upon (i) the final repayment in full of the Obligations (including the repayment of all Unpaid Drawings and the expiration or termination or cancellation of all outstanding Letters of Credit, other than Letters of Credit which have been cash collateralized pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) and termination of all Commitments hereunder, or (ii) upon the occurrence of the Collateral Release Date pursuant to Section 10.15(d) at the request of the U.S. Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to) execute and deliver (or authorize the U.S. Borrower to file) upon the written request and at the expense of the U.S. Borrower such releases (including Uniform Commercial Code termination statements) of Collateral as may be requested by the U.S. Borrower. In the event the Obligations shall have been repaid in full, the Commitments hereunder shall have been terminated and the U.S. Borrower shall have provided cash collateral as provided herein for all outstanding Letters of Credit, the U.S. Borrower shall cease to be bound by the provisions of Sections 9, 10 and 11.

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

14.22. USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Borrower and each Guarantor that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and each Guarantor and other information that will allow such Lender or Agent, as applicable, to identify each Borrower and each Guarantor in accordance with the Act.

14.23. Termination or Modification of Commitments under Original Credit Agreement.

(e) settle or compromise any of the indebtedness, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of the Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowers to their creditors other than the Canadian Lenders or to any liability (whether due or not) of the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower to its creditors other than the Lenders;

(f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of the Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowers to the Canadian Lenders or to any liabilities of the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower to the Lenders, regardless of what liability or liabilities of the U.S. Borrower, the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower or the Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowers remain unpaid;

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

(h) take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of the U.S. Borrower from its liabilities under this Section 16.

16.07. Reliance. It is not necessary for any Canadian Lender or any Lender to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Canadian Revolving Loan Borrower or the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower, respectively, or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

16.08. Subordination. Any indebtedness of the Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowers now or hereafter held by the U.S. Borrower is hereby subordinated to the Canadian Obligations of the Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowers to the Canadian Lenders and any indebtedness of the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower now or hereafter held by the U.S. Borrower is hereby subordinated to the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower Obligations; and such indebtedness of the Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowers to the U.S. Borrower and such indebtedness of the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower, in each case if the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders), after an Event of Default has occurred, so requests, shall be collected, enforced and received by the U.S. Borrower as trustee for the Canadian Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable, and be paid over to the Canadian Lenders on account of the Canadian Obligations of the Canadian Revolving Loan Borrower to the Canadian Lenders or paid over to the Lenders on account of the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower Obligations of the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower to the

-157-

Lenders, as the case may be, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of the U.S. Borrower under the other provisions of this Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by the U.S. Borrower of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any indebtedness of the Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowers to the U.S. Borrower or evidencing any indebtedness of the U.S. Subsidiary Brrower to the U.S. Borrower, the U.S. Borrower shall ▇▇▇▇ such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination.

16.09. Waivers. (a) The U.S. Borrower waives any right to require any Lender to (i) proceed against the Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowers or the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowers or the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Lender’s power whatsoever. The U.S. Borrower waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowers, the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party other than payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of the Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowers, the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof for any cause, or the cessation for any cause of the liability of the Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowers or the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower other than to the extent of payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Lenders may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Lenders may have against the Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowers, the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of the U.S. Borrower hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in cash. The U.S. Borrower waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Lenders, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the U.S. Borrower against the Canadian Revolving Loan Borrower, the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower or any other party or any security.

(b) The U.S. Borrower waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations. The U.S. Borrower assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowers’ and the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of non-payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which the U.S. Borrower assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Lenders shall have no duty to advise the U.S. Borrower of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

(c) All parties hereto agree that the U.S. Borrower shall have no right of subrogation against any Canadian Revolving Loan Borrower, the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower or any Guarantor regarding any payment of the Guaranteed Obligations until all of the Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash and the U.S. Borrower waives until all of the Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash all contractual, statutory or common law

-158-

rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any Person (including the Canadian Borrowers and the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower) which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty.

The U.S. Borrower warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above in this Section 16.09 is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

16.10. Guaranty Continuing. This Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. No failure or delay on the part of any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Lender or any subsequent holder of any Revolving Note, or issuer of, or participant in, a Letter of Credit would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on the U.S. Borrower in any case shall entitle the U.S. Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Lenders or any holder, creator or purchaser to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

16.11. Binding Nature of Guaranties. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the U.S. Borrower and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Lenders and their successors and assigns.

16.12. Judgments Binding. If claim is ever made upon any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and such Lender repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such Lender with any such claimant (including any Canadian Revolving Loan Borrower or the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower) then and in such event the U.S. Borrower agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon the U.S. Borrower, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any Revolving Note, or other instrument evidencing any liability of the Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowers or the U.S. Subsidiary Borrower, and the U.S. Borrower shall be and remain liable to the Lenders hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.

16.13. Payments. All payments made by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to this Section 16 shall be made in the respective Applicable Currency in which the Guaranteed Obligations are then due and payable (giving effect, in the circumstances contemplated by Section 2.17, to any conversion occurring pursuant thereto). All payments made by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to this Section 16 will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, and shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 5.03, 5.04 and 14.18.
