AMENDED AND RESTATED FIVE-YEAR CREDIT AGREEMENT dated as of March 2, 2012 (as amended, restated, supplemented, extended, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”) among HARSCO CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the lenders listed in Schedule 2.01 hereto (the “Lenders”), CITIBANK, N.A., as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to Section 8.06, the “Administrative Agent”), THE ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND PLC, as syndication agent, and BANK OF TOKYO-MITSUBISHI UFJ, LTD., HSBC BANK USA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, ING BANK N.V., DUBLIN BRANCH, JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A. and LLOYDS TSB BANK PLC, as documentation agents.

The Company has requested that in accordance with Section 10.08 of the Existing Credit Agreement (such term and all other capitalized terms not otherwise defined have the meanings assigned to them in Article I hereof), the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders desire to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement such that the Lenders shall continue to extend credit to the Company in order to enable it to borrow Standby Loans on a standby revolving credit basis from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding of up to $525,000,000, which amount may be increased up to $550,000,000 pursuant to Section 2.23 (less the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Competitive Loans at such time). The Company has also requested the Lenders to continue to provide a procedure pursuant to which the Company may invite the Lenders to bid on an uncommitted basis on short-term borrowings by the Company. The proceeds of all such borrowings are to be used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of Indebtedness from time to time. The Lenders are willing to continue to extend such credit to the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth.

Accordingly, the Company, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree as follows:

“Adjusted LIBO Rate” shall mean, with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowing in Dollars or any Alternative Currency (other than Euros), for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to (a) the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period multiplied by (b) the Statutory Reserve Rate; provided that, with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than Euros) for any Interest Period, Adjusted LIBO Rate shall mean an interest rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period.

“Administrative Agent” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the preamble to this Agreement.

“Administrative Agent’s Office” shall mean the office address, facsimile number, electronic mail address, telephone number and account information set forth on Schedule 1.01 hereto with respect to the Administrative Agent or such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address, telephone number or account information as shall be designated by the Administrative Agent in a notice to the Company and the Lenders.

“Alternate Base Rate” shall mean, for any day, a rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to the greater of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1% and (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1%, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any day shall be based on the rate appearing on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or any successor page) at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time on such day. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, respectively.

If the rating system of either ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ or S&P shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Company and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend the references to specific ratings in this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the nonavailability of ratings from such rating agency.

SECTION 1.03. Redenomination of Certain Alternative Currencies. (a) Each obligation of any party to this Agreement to make a payment denominated in the national currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the date hereof shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance with the EMU Legislation). If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any Borrowing in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period.

(b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Company may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.

ARTICLE II

The Credits

SECTION 2.01. Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Standby Loans to the Borrowers from time to time during the Availability Period, in Dollars or one or more Alternative Currencies (as specified in the Borrowing Requests with respect thereto), in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in such Lender’s Committed Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Commitment, subject, however, to the conditions that (i) at no time shall (A) the sum of (I) the aggregate Committed Credit Exposure of all the Lenders, plus (II) the outstanding aggregate principal amount or Assigned Dollar Value of all Competitive Loans made by all Lenders, exceed (B) the Total Commitment and (ii) at all times the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Standby Loans made by each Lender shall equal such Lender’s

Applicable Percentage of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Standby Loans made pursuant to Section 2.04. Each Lender’s Commitment is set forth opposite its name in Schedule 2.01 hereto. Such Commitments may be terminated, reduced or increased from time to time pursuant to Section 2.11, Section 2.23 or Section 10.04. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Standby Loans.

SECTION 2.02. Loans. (a) Each Standby Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Standby Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Each Competitive Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.03. The Competitive Loans and Standby Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in (i) an aggregate principal amount which is not less than the Borrowing Minimum and an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple or (ii) an aggregate principal amount equal to the remaining balance of the available applicable Commitments.

(b) Each Competitive Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Eurocurrency Competitive Loans or Fixed Rate Loans, and each Standby Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Eurocurrency Standby Loans or ABR Loans, as the Borrowers may request pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.04, as applicable. Each Lender may at its option make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that none of the Borrowers shall be entitled to request any Borrowing which, if made, would result in an aggregate of more than ten separate Standby Loans of any Lender being outstanding hereunder at any one time. For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods or denominated in different currencies, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

(c) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer to such account as the Administrative Agent may designate in federal funds (in the case of any Loan denominated in Dollars) or such other immediately available funds as may then be customary for the settlement of international transactions in the relevant currency not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, in the case of fundings to an account in New York City, or 11:00 a.m., local time, in the case of fundings to an account in another jurisdiction, and the Administrative Agent

shall by 12:00 (noon), New York City time, in the case of fundings to an account in New York City, or 12:00 (noon), local time, in the case of fundings to an account in another jurisdiction, credit the amounts so received to an account(designated by the applicable Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request, which account must be in the country of the currency of the Loan (it being understood that the funding may be for the credit of an account outside such country) or in a country that is a member of the European Union, in the case of Borrowings denominated in Euros, or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders. Competitive Loans shall be made by the Lender or Lenders whose Competitive Bids therefor are accepted pursuant to Section 2.03 in the amounts so accepted and Standby Loans shall be made by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with Section 2.16. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this paragraph (c) and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount in the required currency. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon in such currency, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds in the relevant currency (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, none of the Borrowers shall be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Termination Date.

SECTION 2.03. Competitive Bid Procedure. (a) In order to request Competitive Bids, a Borrower shall hand deliver, telecopy or send in *pdf format via electronic mail to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Competitive Bid Request in the form of Exhibit A-l hereto, to be received by the Administrative Agent (i) in the case of a Eurocurrency Competitive

Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, four Business Days before a proposed Competitive Borrowing and (ii) in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before a proposed Competitive Borrowing. No ABR Loan shall be requested in, or made pursuant to, a Competitive Bid Request. A Competitive Bid Request that does not conform substantially to the format of Exhibit A-l hereto may be rejected in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower of such rejection by telecopier. Such request shall in each case refer to this Agreement and specify (A) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a Fixed Rate Borrowing, (B) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (C) the aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing, (D) the currency of such Borrowing and (E) the Interest Period with respect thereto (which may not end after the Termination Date). If no election as to the currency of Borrowing is specified in any Competitive Bid Request, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have requested Borrowings in Dollars. Promptly after its receipt of a Competitive Bid Request that is not rejected as aforesaid, the Administrative Agent shall invite by telecopier (in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 hereto) the Lenders to bid, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make Competitive Loans pursuant to the Competitive Bid Request.

(b) Each Lender may, in its sole discretion, make one or more Competitive Bids to a Borrower responsive to a Competitive Bid Request. Each Competitive Bid by a Lender must be received by the Administrative Agent via telecopier, in the form of Exhibit A-3 hereto, (i) in the case of a Eurocurrency Competitive Borrowing not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Competitive Borrowing and (ii) in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Competitive Borrowing. Multiple bids will be accepted by the Administrative Agent. Competitive Bids that do not conform substantially to the format of Exhibit A-3 hereto may be rejected by the Administrative Agent after conferring with, and upon the instruction of, the applicable Borrower, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lender making such nonconforming bid of such rejection as soon as practicable. Each Competitive Bid shall refer to this Agreement and specify (A) the principal amount (which (x) shall be in a minimum principal amount of the Borrowing Minimum and in an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple, (y) shall be expressed in Dollars or, in the case of an Alternative Currency Borrowing, in both the Alternative Currency and the Assigned Dollar Value thereof and (z) may equal the entire principal amount of the Competitive Borrowing requested by the applicable Borrower) of the Competitive Loan or Loans that the Lender is willing to make to the applicable Borrower, (B) the Competitive Bid Rate or Rates at which the Lender is prepared to make the Competitive Loan or Loans and

(C) the Interest Period and the last day thereof. If any Lender shall elect not to make a Competitive Bid, such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent by telecopier (I) in the case of Eurocurrency Competitive Loans, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Competitive Borrowing, and (II) in the case of Fixed Rate Loans, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Competitive Borrowing; provided, however, that failure by any Lender to give such notice shall not cause such Lender to be obligated to make any Competitive Loan as part of such Competitive Borrowing. A Competitive Bid submitted by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be irrevocable.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower by telecopier of all the Competitive Bids made, the Competitive Bid Rate and the principal amount of each Competitive Loan in respect of which a Competitive Bid was made and the identity of the Lender that made each bid. The Administrative Agent shall send a copy of all Competitive Bids to the applicable Borrower for its records as soon as practicable after completion of the bidding process set forth in this Section 2.03.

(d) The applicable Borrower may in its sole and absolute discretion, subject only to the provisions of this paragraph (d), accept or reject any Competitive Bid referred to in paragraph (c) above. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone, confirmed by telecopier or in *pdf format sent via electronic mail in the form of a Competitive Bid Accept/Reject Letter, whether and to what extent it has decided to accept or reject any of or all the bids referred to in paragraph (c) above, (x) in the case of a Eurocurrency Competitive Borrowing, not later than 11:30 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Competitive Borrowing, and (y) in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, not later than 11:30 a.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Competitive Borrowing; provided, however, that (i) the failure by the applicable Borrower to give such notice shall be deemed to be a rejection of all the bids referred to in paragraph (c) above, (ii) such Borrower shall not accept a bid made at a particular Competitive Bid Rate if such Borrower has decided to reject a bid made at a lower Competitive Bid Rate, (iii) the aggregate amount of the Competitive Bids accepted by such Borrower shall not exceed the principal amount specified in the Competitive Bid Request, (iv) if such Borrower shall accept a bid or bids made at a particular Competitive Bid Rate but the amount of such bid or bids shall cause the total amount of bids to be accepted by such Borrower to exceed the amount specified in the Competitive Bid Request, then such Borrower shall accept a portion of such bid or bids in an amount equal to the amount specified in the Competitive Bid Request less the amount of all other Competitive Bids accepted with respect to such Competitive Bid Request, which acceptance, in the case of multiple bids at such Competitive Bid Rate, shall be made pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such bid at such Competitive Bid Rate, and (v) except pursuant to clause (iv) above, no

bid shall be accepted for a Competitive Loan unless such Competitive Loan is in (x) a minimum principal amount of the Borrowing Minimum and an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple or (y) an aggregate principal amount equal to the remaining balance of the available applicable Commitments; provided further, however, that if a Competitive Loan must be in an amount less than the Borrowing Minimum because of the provisions of clause (iv) above, such Competitive Loan may be for a minimum of 1,000,000 units (or, in the case of Sterling, 500,000 units) of the applicable currency or any integral multiple thereof, and in calculating the pro rata allocation of acceptances of portions of multiple bids at a particular Competitive Bid Rate pursuant to clause (iv) the amounts shall be rounded to integral multiples of 1,000,000 units (or, in the case of Sterling, 500,000 units) of the applicable currency in a manner which shall be in the discretion of the applicable Borrower. A notice given by the applicable Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall be irrevocable.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each bidding Lender whether or not its Competitive Bid has been accepted (and if so, in what amount and at what Competitive Bid Rate) by telecopy sent by the Administrative Agent, and each successful bidder will thereupon become bound, subject to the other applicable conditions hereof, to make the Competitive Loan in respect of which its bid has been accepted.

(f) A Competitive Bid Request shall not be made within five Business Days after the date of any previous Competitive Bid Request.

(g) If the Administrative Agent shall elect to submit a Competitive Bid in its capacity as a Lender, it shall submit such bid directly to the applicable Borrower one quarter of an hour earlier than the latest time at which the other Lenders are required to submit their bids to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (b) above.

(h) All notices required by this Section 2.03 shall be given in accordance with Section 10.01.

SECTION 2.04. Standby Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Standby Borrowing, a Borrower shall hand deliver, telecopy or send in *pdf format via electronic mail to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Standby Borrowing Request in the form of Exhibit A-5 hereto, to be received by the Administrative Agent (a) in the case of a Eurocurrency Standby Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed borrowing and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed borrowing. No Fixed Rate Loan shall be requested or made pursuant to a Standby Borrowing Request. Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall in each case specify (i) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a

Eurocurrency Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the aggregate principal amount of the Borrowing (which shall be in a minimum principal amount of the Borrowing Minimum and in an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple), (iv) the currency of such Borrowing (which, in the case of an ABR Borrowing, shall be Dollars) and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no election as to the currency of Borrowing is specified in any Standby Borrowing Request, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have requested Borrowings in Dollars. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing if denominated in Dollars or a Eurocurrency Borrowing if denominated in an Alternative Currency. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowing is specified, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.04 (and the contents thereof), of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing and, in the case of an Alternative Currency Borrowing, of the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency amount specified in the applicable Standby Borrowing Request and the Spot Exchange Rate utilized to determine such Dollar Equivalent. If the Dollar Equivalent of a Lender’s portion of any such Borrowing would exceed such Lender’s remaining available applicable Commitment, then such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing shall be reduced to the Alternative Currency Equivalent of such Lender’s remaining available Commitment.

SECTION 2.05. Interest Elections. (a) Each Standby Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Standby Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Standby Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. Such Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Competitive Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone, telecopy or in *pdf format sent via electronic mail by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.04 if such Borrower were requesting a Standby Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election

Request shall be irrevocable and, if telephonic, shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, telecopy or in *pdf format sent via electronic mail to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request substantially in the form of Exhibit A-6 hereto. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the Borrower shall not be permitted to (i) change the currency of any Borrowing or (ii) elect an Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans that would end after the Termination Date.

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

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

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

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

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

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

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall (i) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, be converted to an ABR Borrowing and (ii) in the case of any other Eurocurrency Borrowing, continue as a Eurocurrency Borrowing in the same currency and with an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the

request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Company in writing, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Standby Borrowing denominated in Dollars may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.06. Fees. (a) The Company agrees to pay to each Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 and on the Termination Date and any other date on which the Loans of such Lender shall be repaid (or on the date of termination of such Lender’s Commitment if such Lender has no Standby Loans outstanding after such date), a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Commitment Fee Percentage of the daily average amount of the unused Commitment of such Lender (whether or not the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 shall have been satisfied), during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the date hereof or ending with the date on which the Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated). All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. The Commitment Fee due to each Lender shall commence to accrue on the date hereof and shall cease to accrue on the date on which the Commitment of such Lender is terminated. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any Commitment Fees accruing during such period (without prejudice to the rights of the Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees).

(b) The Company agrees to pay the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees set forth in the Agent Fee Letter dated February 3, 2012 between Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and the Company (the “Administrative Fees”) at the times and in the amounts set forth therein.

(c) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Loans. (a) Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of (i) each Standby Loan of such Lender on the Termination Date and (ii) each Competitive Loan of such Lender on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan. Each Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing of which such Loan is a part on the outstanding principal balance thereof as set forth in Section 2.08.

(b) Each Lender shall, and is hereby authorized by the Borrowers to, maintain, in accordance with its usual practice, records evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender hereunder from time to time, including the date, amount, currency and Type of and the Interest Period applicable to each Loan made by such Lender from time to time and the amounts of principal and interest paid to such Lender from time to time in respect of each such Loan.

(c) The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.07 and in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.04(d) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of each Borrower to which such entries relate; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain or to make any entry in such records or the Register, as applicable, or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay any Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.08. Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09, the Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of each Eurocurrency Standby Loan in Dollars or any Alternative Currency (other than Euros), the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for the Borrowing of which such Loan is part plus the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect, (ii) in the case of each Eurocurrency Standby Loan in Euros, the Adjusted EURIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for the Borrowing of which such Loan is part plus the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect, (iii) in the case of each Eurocurrency Competitive Loan denominated in Dollars or any Alternative Currency (other than Euros), the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for the Borrowing of which such Loan is a part plus the Competitive Margin offered by the Lender making such Loan and accepted by the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03 and (iv) in the case of each Eurocurrency Competitive Loan denominated in Euros, the EURIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for the Borrowing of which such Loan is a part plus the Competitive Margin offered by the Lender making such Loan and accepted by the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as appropriate, when determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect with respect to ABR Loans.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09, each Fixed Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal to the fixed rate of interest offered by the Lender making such Loan and accepted by the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03.

(d) Interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. In the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Standby Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. The applicable LIBO Rate, EURIBO Rate or Alternate Base Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.09. Default Interest. If any Borrower shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount becoming due hereunder, whether by scheduled maturity, notice of prepayment, acceleration or otherwise, such Borrower shall on demand from time to time from the Administrative Agent pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount up to (but not including) the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus 2% per annum (or, in the case of the principal of any Loan, if higher, the rate of interest otherwise applicable, or most recently applicable, to such Loan hereunder plus 2% per annum).

SECTION 2.10. Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing of any Type the Administrative Agent shall have determined that Dollar deposits or deposits in the Alternative Currency in which such Borrowing is to be denominated in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market, or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate or EURIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or telecopy notice of such determination to the applicable Borrower and the Lenders and, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the applicable Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any request by a Borrower for a Eurocurrency Competitive Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 shall be of no force or effect and shall be denied by the Administrative Agent, (ii) any request by a Borrower for a Eurocurrency Standby Borrowing of the affected Type or in the affected currency shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing

denominated in Dollars and (iii) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Standby Borrowing to, or continuation of any Standby Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective, and unless repaid such Borrowing shall be converted to or continued on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (A) if such Borrowing is denominated in Dollars, as an ABR Borrowing, or (B) if such Borrowing is denominated in any Alternative Currency, as a Borrowing bearing interest at such rate as the Administrative Agent shall determine adequately and fairly reflects the cost to the affected Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing of any Type the Administrative Agent shall have been advised by the Required Lenders that the rates at which Dollar deposits or deposits in the Alternative Currency in which such Borrowing is to be denominated in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining Eurocurrency Loans during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent, may in consultation with the affected Lenders, give written or telecopy notice of such determination to the Company, the applicable Borrower and the Lenders and until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Company, the applicable Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any request by a Borrower for a Eurocurrency Competitive Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 may be denied by the Administrative Agent, (ii) any request by a Borrower for a Eurocurrency Standby Borrowing of the affected Type or in the affected currency may deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing denominated in Dollars and (iii) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Standby Borrowing to, or continuation of any Standby Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing may be deemed ineffective, and unless repaid such Borrowing may be converted to or continued on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (A) if such Borrowing is denominated in Dollars, as an ABR Borrowing, or (B) if such Borrowing is denominated in any Alternative Currency, as a Borrowing bearing interest at such rate as the Administrative Agent shall determine adequately and fairly reflects the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period, as notified to the Company no later than one Business Day prior to the last day of such applicable Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin.

Each determination by the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.10 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.11. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a)Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Termination Date.

(b) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written or telecopy notice to the Administrative Agent, the Company (on behalf of all the Borrowers) may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Total Commitment; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of the Total Commitment shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and (ii) no such termination or reduction shall be made which would reduce the Total Commitment to an amount less than the aggregate outstanding principal amount (or Assigned Dollar Value, in the case of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies) of the Competitive Loans and Standby Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as no Default or Event of Default is continuing, the Company may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than 10 Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), it being understood that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim any of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent may have against such Defaulting Lender.

(c) Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.11(b), reduction in the Total Commitment hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.06(a), the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction, the Commitment Fees on the amount of the Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to but not including the date of such termination or reduction.

(d) A Commitment terminated or reduced under this Section 2.11 may not be reinstated.

SECTION 2.12. Prepayment. (a) Each Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Standby Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon giving written or telecopy notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or telecopy notice) to the Administrative Agent: (i) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to prepayment and (ii) in the case of ABR Loans, before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day prior to prepayment; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000. The Borrowers shall not have the right to prepay any Competitive Borrowing.

(b) If the sum of (i) the aggregate Committed Credit Exposure of all the Lenders and (ii) the outstanding aggregate principal amount or Assigned Dollar Value of all Competitive Loans made by all the Lenders shall at any time exceed the Total Commitment, then (A) on the last day of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Standby Borrowing and (B) on any other date in the event any ABR Borrowing shall be outstanding, the Borrowers shall prepay Standby Loans in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount necessary to eliminate such excess (after giving effect to any other prepayment of Loans on such day) and (y) the amount of the applicable Borrowings referred to in clause (i) or (ii), as applicable. If, on any date, the sum of (1) the aggregate Committed Credit Exposure of all the Lenders and (2) the outstanding aggregate principal amount or Assigned Dollar Value of all Competitive Loans made by all the Lenders shall exceed 105% of the Total Commitment, then the Borrowers shall, not later than the third Business Day following the date notice of such excess is received from the Administrative Agent, prepay one or more Standby Borrowings in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(c) On the date of any termination or reduction of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.11(b), the Company shall (or shall cause each responsible Borrower to) pay or prepay so much of the Standby Borrowings as shall be necessary in order that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans will not exceed the Total Commitment after giving effect to such termination or reduction.

(d) Each notice of prepayment under this Section 2.12 shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the applicable Borrower to prepay such Borrowing (or portion thereof) by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be subject to Section 2.15 but otherwise without premium or penalty.

SECTION 2.13. Reserve Requirements: Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if after the date of this Agreement any Change in Law shall (i) change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender (or any lending office of any Lender) of the principal of or interest on any Eurocurrency Loan or Fixed Rate Loan made by such Lender or any Fees or other amounts payable hereunder (other than changes in respect of taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Lender by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or by any political subdivision or taxing authority therein), or (ii) subject any Lender to any Taxes on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or (iii) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by such Lender

(or any lending office of such Lender), or (iv) impose on such Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or any Eurocurrency Loan or Fixed Rate Loan made by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan or Fixed Rate Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then the Company shall (or shall cause the Borrowers to) pay to such Lender upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered, provided that any such payment with respect to taxes shall not include any Excluded Taxes and shall be without duplication of payments made under Section 2.19. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be entitled to request compensation under this paragraph with respect to any Competitive Loan if it shall have been aware of the change giving rise to such request at the time of submission of the Competitive Bid pursuant to which such Competitive Loan shall have been made.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that a Change in Law after the date hereof or the adoption after the date hereof of any other law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy or liquidity, or any change in any of the foregoing or in the interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any lending office of such Lender) or any Lender’s holding company with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such applicability, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time the Company shall (or shall cause the responsible Borrower to) pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall (or shall cause the responsible Borrower to) pay each Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after the receipt of the same.

(d) Except as provided below in this paragraph (d), failure on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any other period. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed. No Lender shall be entitled to compensation under this Section 2.13 for any costs incurred or reductions suffered with respect to any date unless it shall have notified the Company that it will demand compensation for such costs or reductions not more than ninety days after the later of (i) such date and (ii) the date on which it shall have, or should have, become aware of such costs or reductions (except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the ninety-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

SECTION 2.14. Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if, after the date hereof, (i) any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loan or Alternative Currency Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan or Alternative Currency Loan, or (ii) there shall have occurred any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions (including the imposition of or any change in exchange controls) or currency exchange rates which would make it impracticable for any Lender to make Loans denominated in such Alternative Currency or to any Borrower, then, by written notice to the Company and to the Administrative Agent, such Lender may:

(i) declare that Eurocurrency Loans or Alternative Currency Loans (in the affected currency or currencies or to the affected Borrower), as the case may be, will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness or impracticability) be made by such Lender hereunder, whereupon such Lender shall not submit a Competitive Bid in response to a request for such Alternative Currency Loans or Eurocurrency Competitive Loans and any request by a Borrower for a Eurocurrency Standby Borrowing or Alternative Currency Borrowing (in the affected currency or currencies or to the affected Borrower), as the case may be, shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan or a Loan denominated in Dollars, as the case may be, unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn (or, if a Loan to the requesting Borrower cannot be made for the reasons specified above, such request shall be deemed to have been withdrawn); and

(ii) require that all outstanding Eurocurrency Loans or Alternative Currency Loans (in the affected currency or currencies or to the affected Borrower), as the case may be, made by it be converted to ABR Loans denominated in Dollars in which event all such Eurocurrency Loans or Alternative Currency Loans (in the affected currency or currencies or to the affected Borrower) shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans denominated in Dollars as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurocurrency Loans or Alternative Currency Loans, as the case may be, that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurocurrency Loans or Alternative Currency Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans or Loans denominated in Dollars, as the case may be, made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurocurrency Loans or Loans denominated in Dollars, as the case may be. In the event any Alternative Currency Loan is converted into a Loan denominated in Dollars pursuant to this Section, (A) the principal amount of such Loan shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the Assigned Dollar Value of such Alternative Currency Loan determined based upon the applicable Spot Exchange Rate as of the Denomination Date for the Borrowing which includes such Alternative Currency Loan and (B) the applicable Borrower shall indemnify the Lender of such converted Alternative Currency Loan against any loss it sustains as a result of such conversion.

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.14, a notice to the Company by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurocurrency Loan, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Company.

SECTION 2.15. Indemnity. Each Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or reasonable expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any failure by such Borrower (other than any such failure caused by a default by such Lender) to borrow or to convert or continue any Loan hereunder after irrevocable notice of such borrowing, conversion or continuation has been given pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.04, (b) any payment, prepayment, conversion or transfer of a Eurocurrency Loan or Fixed Rate Loan required by any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise made or deemed made on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) any default in payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Loan or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the due date thereof, whether by scheduled maturity, acceleration, irrevocable notice of prepayment or otherwise) or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan

other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 2.20(b), including, in each such case, any loss or reasonable expense sustained or incurred or to be sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain such Loan or any part thereof as a Eurocurrency Loan or Fixed Rate Loan but excluding any loss of profit or anticipated profit such as the Applicable Margin. Such loss or reasonable expense shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid, converted, transferred or not borrowed (assumed to be the LIBO Rate or, in the case of a Fixed Rate Loan, the fixed rate of interest applicable thereto) for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, conversion, transfer or failure to borrow to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period for such Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would be realized by such Lender in reemploying the funds so paid, prepaid, converted, transferred or not borrowed for such period or Interest Period, as the case may be. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.16. Pro Rata Treatment. Except as required under Section 2.14, each Standby Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Standby Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Standby Loans, each payment of the Commitment Fees, each reduction of the Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing into, or continuation of, a Standby Borrowing of any Type, shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Standby Loans). Each payment of principal of any Competitive Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders participating in such Borrowing in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Competitive Loans comprising such Borrowing. Each payment of interest on any Competitive Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders participating in such Borrowing in accordance with the respective amounts of accrued and unpaid interest on their outstanding Competitive Loans comprising such Borrowing. For purposes of determining (i) the aggregate available Commitments of the Lenders at any time and (ii) the available Commitment of each Lender, each outstanding Competitive Borrowing shall be deemed to have utilized the Commitments of the Lenders (including those Lenders which shall not have made Loans as part of such Competitive Borrowing) pro rata in accordance with such respective Commitments; provided, however, that for purposes of determining payments of Commitment Fees under Section 2.06,

each outstanding Competitive Borrowing shall be deemed to have utilized the Commitments of only the Lenders that have made Competitive Loans comprising such Competitive Borrowing (it being understood that the Commitment of Lenders which shall not have made Loans as part of such Competitive Borrowing shall not be deemed utilized as a result of such Competitive Borrowing). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole Dollar (or comparable unit of any applicable Alternative Currency) amount.

SECTION 2.17. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against any Borrower, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Standby Loan or Standby Loans as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Standby Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Standby Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Standby Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Standby Loans and participations in the Standby Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Standby Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Standby Loans prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Standby Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that, if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.17 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. Each Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Standby Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by such Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Standby Loan directly to such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.18. Payments. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under each other Loan Document not later than 12:00 noon, local time at the place of payment, on the date when due

in immediately available funds. Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent’s Office. Each such payment (other than principal of and interest on Alternative Currency Loans, which shall be made in the applicable Alternative Currency) shall be made in Dollars. Each such payment will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other deduction.

(b) Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

SECTION 2.19. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of each Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.18, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all current or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, duties, fees, withholdings or other charge of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed, and all liabilities with respect thereto, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto, but excluding (i) income taxes imposed on the net income of the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any transferee or assignee thereof, including a participation holder (any such individual or entity, a “Transferee”)), franchise and gross margin taxes imposed in lieu of tax on the net income of the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or Transferee), in each case by the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) is organized, domiciled, resident or doing business or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of any Lender (or Transferee), by the jurisdiction in which its applicable lending office is located, (ii) any branch profits tax imposed by the United States or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction described in clause (i) above on any Lender, any Transferee or the Administrative Agent, (iii) any taxes imposed as a result of such Lender’s (or Transferee’s) willful misconduct, (iv) any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed under FATCA or (v) any taxes attributable to such Lender’s (or Transferee’s) failure to comply with clauses (g), (i), (k) or (l) of this Section 2.19 (all such excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, duties, fees, withholdings, other charges and liabilities, interest, additional to tax and penalties, collectively or individually, “Excluded Taxes” and all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, duties, fees, withholdings, other charges and liabilities, interest, additions to tax and penalties, collectively or individually, “Taxes”). If any Borrower shall be required to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender (or any Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable by such Borrower or any guarantor thereof shall be increased by the amount (an “additional amount”) necessary so that after

making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.19) such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) each Borrower (or any guarantor making such payments) shall make such deductions and (iii) each Borrower (or any guarantor making such deductions) shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law; provided that the Administrative Agent may make such deductions and pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law on behalf of any Borrower (or any guarantor making such payments).

(b) In addition, each Borrower agrees to bear and to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future recording, stamp, documentary, excise, transfer, sales, property or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under any other Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (“Other Taxes”).

(c) The Borrowers will indemnify each Lender (or Transferee) and the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes paid by such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any liability and any penalties, interest and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority except if incurred primarily as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the recipient. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared by the Administrative Agent, a Lender, or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, absent manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

(d) If a Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent shall become aware that it is entitled to claim a refund from a Governmental Authority in respect of Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower, or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts, pursuant to this Section 2.19, it shall promptly notify the Company of the availability of such refund claim and shall, within 30 days after receipt of a request by the Company, make a claim to such Governmental Authority for such refund at the Company’s expense. If a Lender (or

Transferee) or the Administrative Agent receives a refund (including pursuant to a claim for refund made pursuant to the preceding sentence) in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts, in either case, pursuant to this Section 2.19, it shall within 30 days from the date of such receipt pay over such refund to the Company on behalf of the relevant Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 2.19 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of withholding taxes applicable to such payment and all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that the Company, upon the request of such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, agrees to (or to cause the responsible Borrower to) repay the amount paid over to the Company (plus penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent in the event such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund (or portion thereof) to such Governmental Authority.

(e) As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower to the relevant Governmental Authority, the Company will deliver to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 10.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing payment of the full amount thereof.

(f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section 2.19 shall survive the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all Loans made hereunder.

(g) Each Lender (or Transferee) or other person entitled to the benefit of this Section 2.19 that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent two copies of either United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY (or successor form), or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto (and, if such Non-U.S. Lender delivers a Form W-8BEN, a certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Company and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Company (within the meaning of

Section 864(d)(4) of the Code)), properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. Federal withholding tax on payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by any Borrower that is a United States person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “U.S. Borrower”). Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such participation holder becomes a Transferee hereunder) and on or before the date, if any, such Non-U.S. Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a “New Lending Office”). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.19(g), a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.19(g) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(h) No U.S. Borrower shall be required to indemnify any Non-U.S. Lender, or to pay any additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Lender, in respect of United States Federal withholding tax pursuant to paragraph (a) or (c) above to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States Federal withholding tax existed on the date such Non-U.S. Lender became a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on the date such participation holder became a Transferee hereunder) or, with respect to payments to a New Lending Office, the date such Non-U.S. Lender designated such New Lending Office with respect to a Loan; provided, however, that this clause (i) shall not apply to any Transferee or New Lending Office that becomes a Transferee or New Lending Office as a result of an assignment, participation, transfer or designation made at the request of the Company; and provided further, however, that this clause (i) shall not apply to the extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts any Transferee, or Lender (or Transferee) through a New Lending Office, would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (i)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the person making the assignment, participation or transfer to such Transferee, or Lender (or Transferee) making the designation of such New Lending Office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation, transfer or designation or (ii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Non-U.S. Lender to comply with the provisions of paragraph (g) above, except as a result of a change in applicable law after the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement, or in the case of a participant, after the date such participant purchased the related participation interest.

(i) Any Lender (or Transferee) claiming any indemnity payment or additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any

certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Company or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such indemnity payment or additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender (or Transferee), be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender (or Transferee).

(j) Nothing contained in this Section 2.19 shall require any Lender (or 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).

(k) Each Lender (or Transferee) and other person entitled to the benefits of this Section 2.19 that is neither a Non-U.S. Lender nor an “exempt recipient,” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations section 1.6049-4(c), shall provide the Company and the Administrative Agent two properly completed and executed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form). Such form shall be delivered on or before the date such Lender or other person becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such participation holder becomes a Transferee hereunder).

(l) If a payment made to a Lender (or Transferee) hereunder or any other document to be delivered hereunder would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender (or Transferee) were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender (or Transferee) shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender (or Transferee) has complied with such Lender’s (or Transferee’s) obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.19(l), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.20. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances. (a) Any Lender (or Transferee) claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13, Section 2.19 or Section 2.22 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document requested by the Company or to change the

jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts which may thereafter accrue and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender (or Transferee).

(b) In the event that any Lender shall have delivered a notice or certificate pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14, or the Borrowers shall be required to make additional payments to any Lender under Section 2.19 or Section 2.22, the Company shall have the right, at its own expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to require such Lender to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to another financial institution acceptable to the Administrative Agent which shall assume such obligations; provided that (i) no such assignment shall conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any Governmental Authority, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (iii) the Company or the assignee, as the case may be, shall pay to the affected Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by it hereunder and all other amounts accrued for its account or owed to it hereunder.

SECTION 2.21. Borrowings by Approved Borrowers. The Company may, at any time or from time to time, designate one or more wholly owned Subsidiaries as Borrowers hereunder by furnishing to the Administrative Agent a letter (a “Designation Letter”) substantially in the form of Exhibit F-l hereto, duly completed and executed by the Company and such Subsidiary, whereupon each Subsidiary so designated shall become an Approved Borrower. As soon as practicable upon receipt of any such Designation Letter, the Administrative Agent shall send a copy thereof to each Lender. There may be no more than ten Approved Borrowers at any one time. So long as all principal and interest on all Loans of any Approved Borrower have been paid in full, the Company may terminate an Approved Borrower’s status as an Approved Borrower by furnishing to the Administrative Agent a letter (a “Termination Letter”), substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto, duly completed and executed by the Company and such Approved Borrower. Any Termination Letter furnished in accordance with this Section 2.21 shall be effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of a Termination Letter with respect to any Approved Borrower shall not affect any obligation of such Approved Borrower theretofore incurred. Each Subsidiary set forth in Schedule 2.21 hereto shall be deemed an Approved Borrower until delivery of a Termination Letter with respect to such Subsidiary. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no Lender shall be required to make any Loan to an Approved Borrower if any applicable law or regulation shall make it unlawful for any such Lender to make or maintain any such Loan.

SECTION 2.22. Additional Costs. (a) If and so long as any Lender is required to make special deposits with the Bank of England, to maintain reserve asset ratios or to pay fees, in each case in respect of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Loans in any Alternative Currency, such Lender may require the relevant Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Loans, additional interest on such Loan at a rate per annum equal to the Mandatory Costs Rate calculated in accordance with the formula and in the manner set forth in Exhibit D hereto.

(b) If and so long as any Lender is required to comply with reserve assets, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of any monetary or other authority or regulation (including any such requirement imposed by the European Central Bank or the European System of Central Banks, but excluding requirements reflected in the Statutory Reserve Rate or the Mandatory Costs Rate) in respect of any of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Loans in any Alternative Currency, such Lender may require the relevant Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Loans subject to such requirements, additional interest on such Loan at a rate per annum specified by such Lender to be the cost to such Lender of complying with such requirements in relation to such Loan.

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

(d) If the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining any Loan to any Borrower is increased (or the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) is reduced) by an amount deemed in good faith by such Lender to be material, by reason of the fact that such Borrower is incorporated in, or conducts business in, a jurisdiction outside the United States of America, such Borrower shall indemnify such Lender for such increased cost or reduction within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent). A certificate of such Lender claiming compensation under this paragraph and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder (and the basis for the calculation of such amount or amounts) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 2.23. Increase in the Aggregate Commitments. (a) The Company may, at any time prior to the Termination Date (including on the Effective Date), by notice to the Administrative Agent, request that the aggregate amount of the Commitments be increased by a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (each a “Requested Commitment Increase”), in each case to be effective as of a date that is no later than 90 days prior to the Termination Date (any date on which the aggregate Commitments are increased pursuant to this Section 2.23, an “Increase Date”) as specified in the related notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, (i) that on and immediately following the Increase Date (A) in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Commitments at any time exceed $550,000,000, and (B) the representations and warranties set forth in Article III hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of the Increase Date with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, and (ii) at the time of and immediately after giving effect to such Commitment Increase, no Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Commitments may be increased pursuant to this Section 2.23 no more than once.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of a request by the Company for a Requested Commitment Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amount of the Requested Commitment Increase, (ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date which shall be no later than 30 days after the receipt by the Administrative Agent of notice from the Company pursuant to Section 2.23(a) by which Lenders wishing to participate in the Requested Commitment Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective Commitments (such date, the “Commitment Date”). Each Lender that is willing to participate in such Requested Commitment Increase (each an “Increasing Lender”) shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase its Commitment (as to each Increasing Lender, its “Proposed Increase Amount”). If the aggregate Proposed Increase Amounts of all Increasing Lenders exceeds the Requested Commitment Increase, then allocations among the Increasing Lenders will be based on the ratio of each Increasing Lender’s Proposed Increase Amount to the aggregate of all Proposed Increase Amounts.

(c) Promptly following the Commitment Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company as to the amount of the aggregate Proposed Increase Amounts. If the amount of the aggregate Proposed Increase Amounts is less than the Requested Commitment Increase, then the Company may extend offers to third party financial institutions to participate in any portion of the Requested Commitment Increase that has not been committed to by the Lenders as of the applicable Commitment Date; provided, however, that the Commitment of each such third party financial institution shall be in an amount equal to or greater than $10,000,000.

(d) On each Increase Date, (x) each third party financial institution that accepts an offer to participate in a Requested Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.23 (a “New Lender”) shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date, and (y) the Commitment of each Increasing Lender for such Requested Commitment Increase shall be increased by the Increasing Lender’s Proposed Increase Amount (or if less, the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.23 as of such Increase Date); provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have received on or before such Increase Date the following, each dated such date:

(i) a Lender Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto from each New Lender if any, duly executed by such financial institution, the Administrative Agent and the Company;

(ii) confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount of its Commitment in a writing reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent; and

(iii) a certificate of the Company, dated the Increase Date and signed by a Financial Officer of the Company, confirming compliance with the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.23(a)(i)(B) and (a)(ii) above.

On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2.23, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each New Lender) and the Company, at or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time), by facsimile, of the occurrence of the Increase Date, the aggregate amount of the Commitment increase on such date and the aggregate amount of the Commitments after giving effect to such increase, to be effected on such Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and each New Lender (if any) on such date. Commitments increased pursuant to this Section 2.23 shall be deemed a “Commitment”. On each Increase Date, Schedule 2.01 hereto shall be automatically deemed to be revised to reflect any increases in the Commitments of the Lenders and any Commitments of New Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall distribute a copy of the revised Schedule 2.01 hereto to the Company and each Lender (including each New Lender) not later than the fifth Business Day following the applicable Increase Date.

SECTION 2.24. Revolving Notes. Any Lender may request that Loans made by it (or its Commitment) be evidenced by one or more Revolving Notes. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Note or Revolving Notes (but in any event in an aggregate face amount not to exceed the Commitment of such Lender) payable to the order of such Lender or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns.

SECTION 2.25. Defaulting Lenders; Replacement of Lenders Under Certain Circumstances.

(a) If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply to any amount paid by the Borrowers or otherwise received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts), which amount will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account until (subject to Section 10.20) the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, second to the payment of post-default interest and then current interest due and payable to the Lenders hereunder other than Defaulting Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them, third to the payment of fees then due and payable to the non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them, fourth to pay principal then due and payable to the non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to them, fifth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the non-Defaulting Lenders, and sixth after the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(b) Without limiting the effect of Section 2.20(b), in the event that any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender (as defined below), the Company shall have the right, at its own expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to require such Lender to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to another financial institution acceptable to the Administrative Agent which shall assume such obligations; provided that (i) no such assignment shall conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any Governmental Authority, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (iii) the Company or the assignee,

as the case may be, shall pay to the affected Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by it hereunder and all other amounts accrued for its account or owed to it hereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.25(b), a “Non-Consenting Lender” shall mean any Lender that does not agree to a consent, waiver, amendment or other modification to this Agreement or any other Loan Document where (x) the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent have requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or agree to any amendment thereto, (y) the consent, waiver, amendment or other modification in question requires the agreement of all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 10.08 or all of the Lenders, as applicable, and (z) the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver, amendment or other modification.

ARTICLE III

All such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition of Harsco Corporation and its Subsidiaries as at such date and the consolidated results of their operations for the fiscal year, all in accordance with GAAP. None of Harsco Corporation nor any of its Subsidiaries has on the date hereof any material contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments, except as referred to or reflected or provided for in the balance sheets as at such date or the notes thereto. Since December 31, 2011, there has been no Material Adverse Change.

SECTION 3.03. Litigation. Except as disclosed in note 11 of the audited annual consolidated financial statements of Harsco Corporation included in Harsco Corporation’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, there are no legal or arbitral proceedings, or any proceedings by or before any Governmental Authority, now pending or (to the knowledge of the Company) threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is materially likely to be adversely determined and which, if adversely determined could (either individually or in the aggregate) have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.04. No Breach. None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated or compliance with the terms and provisions hereof will conflict with or result in a breach of, or require any consent (that has not heretofor been obtained) under, the charter or by-laws of the Company, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or Governmental Authority, or any material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them or any of their assets or properties is bound or to which any of them is subject, or constitute a default under any such agreement or instrument.

SECTION 3.05. Action. The Company has all necessary corporate power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement; the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on its part (including, without limitation, any required shareholder approvals); and this Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general applicability affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and (b) the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

SECTION 3.06. Approvals. No authorizations, approvals or consents of, and no filings or registrations with, any Governmental Authority, or any securities exchange, are necessary for the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of this Agreement or for the legality, validity or enforceability hereof, other than authorizations, approvals, consents, and filings and registrations that have already been obtained prior to the date hereof.

SECTION 3.07. Use of Credit. None of the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying Margin Stock, and no part of the proceeds of the Loans hereunder will be used to buy or carry any Margin Stock.

SECTION 3.08. ERISA. Each Plan, and, to the knowledge of the Company, each Multiemployer Plan, is in compliance in all material respects with, and has been administered in all material respects in compliance with, the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other Federal or state law, and, except as previously notified in writing in a notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), no event or condition has occurred and is continuing as to which the Company would be under an obligation to furnish a report to the Lenders under Section 5.06 hereof.

The Company has in the ordinary course of business given extensions or waivers of the statutes of limitations relating to payment of U.S. Federal taxes and relating to various state, local and foreign taxes or impositions, none of which might reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

All written information furnished after the date hereof by the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will be true, complete and accurate in every material respect, or (in the case of projections) based on reasonable estimates, on the date as of which such information is stated or certified.

The Administrative Agent

SECTION 8.01. Appointment and Authority. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank, N.A. to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and no Borrower shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

SECTION 8.02. Administrative Agent Individually. (a) The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

(b) Each Lender understands that the Person serving as Administrative Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are collectively referred to in this Section 8.02 as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of one or more of the Borrowers or their respective Affiliates. Furthermore, the Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including the Borrowers and their Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in any Borrower or their respective Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of the Borrowers or their Affiliates. Each Lender understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, the Agent’s Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning the Borrowers or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Borrowers to perform their respective obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) which information may not be available to any of the Lenders that are not members of the Agent’s Group. None of the Administrative Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Lender or use on behalf of the Lenders, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Borrower or any Affiliate of any Borrower) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except that the Administrative Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender such documents as are expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders.

(c) Each Lender further understands that there may be situations where members of the Agent’s Group or their respective customers (including the Borrowers and their Affiliates) either now have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one or more of the Lenders (including the interests of the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents). Each Lender agrees that no member of the Agent’s Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of the Person serving as Administrative Agent being a member of the Agent’s Group, and that each member of the Agent’s Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Lender.

None of (i) this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, (ii) the receipt by the Agent’s Group of information (including Information) concerning the Borrowers or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Borrowers to perform their respective obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) nor (iii) any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including without limitation any duty of trust or confidence) owing by the Administrative Agent or any member of the Agent’s Group to any Lender including any such duty that would prevent or restrict the Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers (including the Borrowers or their Affiliates) or for its own account.

SECTION 8.03. Duties of Administrative Agent; Exculpatory Provisions. (a) The Administrative Agent’s duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are solely ministerial and administrative in nature and the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, but shall be required to act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary), under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.04 or Article VII or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any Default unless and until any Borrower or any Lender shall have given notice to the Administrative Agent describing such Default and such event or events.

(c) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information

made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the information memorandum, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, or instrument or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless an officer of the Administrative Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan.

duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. Each such sub agent and the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and each such sub agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article VIII and Section 10.05 (as though such sub-agents were the “Administrative Agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

SECTION 8.06. Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lender and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York, New York. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (such 30-day period, the “Lender Appointment Period”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. In addition and without any obligation on the part of the retiring Administrative Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent may at any time upon or after the end of the Lender Appointment Period notify the Company and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted appointment as successor Administrative Agent and the effective date of such retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation which effective date shall be no earlier than three business days after the date of such notice. Upon the resignation effective date established in such notice and regardless of whether a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph.

The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation

hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

(ii) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Loan Document;

(iii) determining compliance or non-compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan and the form and substance of all evidence delivered in connection with establishing the satisfaction of each such condition;

(iv) the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information memorandum and any other information delivered by the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or by any of their respective Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Loan Document.

SECTION 8.08. Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Commitment (determined at the time such indemnity is sought), indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), loss (except any loss in respect of any fee arrangement between the Company and the Administrative Agent to which each Lender is not a party) or liability (except such as result from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) that the Administrative Agent may suffer or incur in connection with the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent thereunder.

SECTION 10.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Company and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received copies hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each Lender, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that, other than an assignment by the Company to the New Parent pursuant to the New Parent Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Borrowers shall not have the right to assign rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior consent of all the Lenders.

paragraph (e) of this Section 10.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least five Business Days after the execution thereof, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto (but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.15, 2.19, 2.22 and 10.05, as well as to any Fees accrued for its account hereunder and not yet paid)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender assigning its rights and obligations under this Agreement may retain any Competitive Loans made by it outstanding at such time, and in such case shall retain its rights hereunder in respect of any Loans so retained until such Loans have been repaid in full in accordance with this Agreement.

No assignment will be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its respective subsidiaries, or any person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any Defaulting Lender or any of its respective subsidiaries. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment will be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder becomes effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest will be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any

adverse claim and that its Commitment, if any, and the outstanding balances of its Standby Loans and Competitive Loans, if any, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or the financial condition of the Company or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by any Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.04 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the

assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above and, if required, the written consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

(f) Upon giving written notice to the Company, each Lender may without the consent of the Company or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, unless prior consent thereto has been given to the Company in writing by each Lender) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other entities shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.13, 2.15, 2.19 and 2.22 to the same extent as if they were Lenders and (iv) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrowers relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans or changing or extending the Commitments).

(g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrowers or the Subsidiary Guarantors furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers or the Subsidiary Guarantors; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by the Company as confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information. It is understood that confidential information relating to the Borrowers or the Subsidiary Guarantors would not ordinarily be provided in connection with assignments or participations of Competitive Loans.

(h) Any Lender may at any time assign as security all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including to a Federal Reserve

Bank or other central banking authority; provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

(i) The Borrowers shall not assign or delegate any of their rights or duties hereunder, except as permitted by Section 6.03; provided that Harsco Corporation may assign its rights and duties hereunder to the New Parent pursuant to the New Parent Assignment and Assumption Agreement.

SECTION 10.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a)Each Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and properly documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent, and, in connection with any such amendment, modification or waiver or any such enforcement or protection, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender. Each Borrower further agrees that it shall indemnify the Lenders from and hold them harmless against any documentary taxes, assessments or charges made by any Governmental Authority by reason of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

(b) Each Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender, any of their respective Affiliates that have made Loans as provided in Section 2.02(b) and the respective directors, officers, employees and agents of the foregoing persons (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether commenced by a Borrower, any of its Affiliates or any other person and whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or its subsidiaries; provided that the

indemnity set forth in this Section 10.05(b) shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses either (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates or (y) resulted from the breach by such Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates of any of such person’s agreements under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than unintentional breaches that are corrected promptly after such Indemnitee becomes aware that it is in breach).

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrowers shall not assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in Section 10.05(b) shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended or unauthorized recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(d) The provisions of this Section 10.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

SECTION 10.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender (and any of its Affiliates) is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender (or any of its Affiliates) to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any of and all the obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender exercises any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent

for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.25 and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to the Administrative Agent, with a copy to the Company, a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. Promptly following the exercise of a Lender’s rights under this Section, such Lender shall deliver to the Company written notice of its exercise of such rights together with a statement describing in reasonable detail the basis for the taking of such action, provided that the failure of a Lender to deliver such a notice shall not impair or otherwise adversely affect the validity of the exercise of its rights under this Section.

SECTION 10.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER, SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 10.08. Waivers: Amendment. (a)No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Borrower in any case shall entitle such Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Company and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan, without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) change or extend the Commitment or decrease the Commitment Fees of any Lender

without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) change Section 2.17 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the prior written consent of each Lender, or (iv) amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.16, release the Guarantor from its obligations under Article IX, except as contemplated by Section 8.10, release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty, or amend or modify the provisions of this Section, the definition of “Required Lenders”, or any provision hereof which requires the consent of each Lender, without the prior written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder which are subject to the approval of the Required Lenders, and the Commitment and the outstanding Loans or other extensions of credit of such Defaulting Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Required Lenders have approved any such amendment or waiver (and the definition of “Required Lenders” will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period).

SECTION 10.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges which are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable on the Loan of such Lender, together with all Charges payable to such Lender, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate.

SECTION 10.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 10.11. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan

Documents. Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 10.11.

SECTION 10.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 10.13. Judgment Currency. (a)The Borrowers’ obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in Dollars or in any Alternative 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 or a Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Borrower or 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 Alternative Currency Equivalent or Dollar Equivalent, in the case of any Alternative Currency or Dollars, and, in the case of other currencies, the rate of exchange (as quoted by the Administrative Agent or if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by the Administrative Agent) determined, in each case, as of the date 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, each Borrower covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any judgment, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may

be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

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

SECTION 10.14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 10.03. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission, electronic mail or by posting on the Platform shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

SECTION 10.15. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 10.16. Jurisdiction: Consent to Service of Process. (a)The Company and each other Borrower that is a Domestic Subsidiary hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of, and each other Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of, any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against any Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

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

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 10.17. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers 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 other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Borrower in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 10.18. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Borrowers agree that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrowers and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or their respective Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.

SECTION 10.19. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees, for the benefit of the Company and each other Borrower, to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other

Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives) to any swap or derivative or similar transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to any Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (iii) any rating agency, or (iv) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization, (g) with the written consent of the Company or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, provided that, in the case of information received from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 10.20. Cure of Defaulting Lender Status. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of “Defaulting Lender”, if the Company and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase such portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Committed Credit Exposure of the Lenders to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender (and such Committed Credit Exposure of each Lender will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing); provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Commitment Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the

100

Borrowers while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no termination of a Lender’s status as a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 10.21. Joint and Several Liability. The Company and each Approved Borrower organized or incorporated under the laws of one of the States of the United States of America, the laws of the District of Columbia or the Federal laws of the United States of America shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations of the Company and each Approved Borrower under this Agreement; and each Approved Borrower organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations of the Approved Borrowers organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia under this Agreement, which joint and several liability shall be more specifically set forth in each Designation Letter. Solely for purposes of the preceding sentence, any Approved Borrower organized under the laws of Mexico or Canada that is treated as a US domestic corporation pursuant to Section 1504(d) of the Code shall be treated as an Approved Borrower organized under the laws of the United States.

SECTION 10.22. Existing Credit Agreement Amended and Restated.

(a) Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement, (a) this Agreement shall amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety and (b) the rights and obligations of the parties under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be subsumed within, and be governed by, this Agreement; provided, however, that the Borrowers and Guarantor hereby agree that all obligations of the Borrowers under the Existing Credit Agreement shall remain outstanding, shall constitute continuing obligations hereunder, and this Agreement shall not be deemed to evidence or result in a novation or repayment and reborrowing of such obligations and other liabilities.

(b) The parties hereto hereby agree that on the Effective Date the Commitments shall be as set forth in Schedule 2.01 and the portion of Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be reallocated in accordance with such Commitments and the requisite assignments shall be deemed to be made in such amounts by and between the Lenders and from each Lender to each other Lender, with the same force and effect as if such assignments were evidenced by applicable Assignment and Acceptances (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding anything

101

to the contrary in Section 10.04 of the Existing Credit Agreement or Section 10.04 of this Agreement, no other documents or instruments, including any Assignment and Acceptance, shall be executed in connection with these assignments (all of which requirements are hereby waived), and such assignments shall be deemed to be made with all applicable representations, warranties and covenants as if evidenced by an Assignment and Acceptance. On the Effective Date, the Lenders shall make full cash settlement with each other either directly or through the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent may direct or approve, with respect to all assignments, reallocations and other changes in Commitments (as such term is defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) such that after giving effect to such settlements each Lender’s Applicable Percentage shall be as set forth on Schedule 2.01.
