ARTICLE II

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE ADVANCES

SECTION 2.01                                      The Advances.  Each Lender severally and not jointly agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth to make Advances (on a joint and several basis as between the Borrowers) denominated in Dollars and/or Alternative Currencies to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not

27

to exceed at any time outstanding such Lender’s Commitment.  Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount equal to the Borrowing Minimum or a Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof and shall consist of Advances of the same Type made on the same day by the Lenders ratably according to their respective Commitments.  Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment, each Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay Advances pursuant to Section 2.10 and reborrow under this Section 2.01.

SECTION 2.02                                      Making the Advances.  (a)  Each Borrowing shall be made on notice by the Borrower making such Borrowing, given not later than (x) 9:00 A.M. (Local Time) on the third Business Day (or in the case of Advances denominated in Sterling, on the Business Day) prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances or (y) 9:00 A.M. (Chicago time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof by telecopier or other electronic communication.  Each notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, including by telecopier (or other electronic communication) in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such Borrowing, (iv) initial Interest Period for such Advance, if such Borrowing is to consist of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, and (v) account or accounts in which the proceeds of the Borrowing should be credited.  Each Lender shall, before 12:00 P.M. (Local Time) in the case of Advances in Alternative Currencies and 11:00 A.M. (Chicago time) in the case of Advances in Dollars on the date of such Borrowing make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing.  After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the applicable Borrower in immediately available funds to the account or accounts specified by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent in the Notice of Borrowing relating to the applicable Borrowing.

(b)                                 Anything in Section 2.02(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) Advances denominated in Alternative Currencies may only be requested and maintained as Eurocurrency Rate Advances (subject to Section 2.12), (ii) a Borrower may not select Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in Dollars if the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.08 or 2.12 and (iii) the Eurocurrency Rate Advances may not be outstanding as part of more than ten separate Borrowings.

(c)                                  Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the applicable Borrower.  In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the applicable Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any reasonable loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any reasonable loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made

28

by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

(d)                                 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 ratable 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 Section 2.02(a) and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.  If and to the extent that any Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and such Borrower severally agree to pay or to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount and to pay interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower until the date such amount is paid or repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Borrower, the higher of (A) the interest rate applicable at the time to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (B) the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent in respect of such amount and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.  If a Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period.  If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding principal amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement.  Any payment by a Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(e)                                  The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

(f)                                   If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Advance to be made by such Lender as provided herein, and such funds are not made available to a Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to such Borrowing are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

SECTION 2.03                                      [Reserved].

SECTION 2.04                                      Fees.  (a)  Commitment Fee.  The Borrowers agree to pay, to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender for such time as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender), a non-refundable commitment fee from the Fee Start Date and from time to time through and including the date of termination of the Commitments in full, at a rate per annum (x) from the Fee Start Date until the date that is 30 days after the Fee Start Date, equal to 0.05% and thereafter (y)(i) 0.10% until the receipt of a Public Debt Rating (unless the Acquisition Cancellation occurs, after giving effect to the Acquisitions) and (ii) 

29

thereafter, equal to the Applicable Percentage per annum, on the aggregate daily amount of such Lender’s unused Commitments during such period, such fee to be earned and payable in arrears quarterly on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, and on the date the Commitment terminates in full or is otherwise reduced to zero.

(b)                                 Additional Fees.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent and Arranger for their account (or that of their applicable Affiliate) such fees as may from time to time be agreed between any of the Consolidated Group and the Administrative Agent and/or Arranger.

SECTION 2.05                                      Termination or Reduction of the Commitments.  (a)  Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate in full at 5:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the Commitment Termination Date.  Additionally, if the Closing Date does not occur prior to 5:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on July 31, 2015, the Commitments shall terminate in full.  Upon the occurrence of the Acquisition Cancellation, to the extent the Commitments at such time exceed $3,000,000,000, the Commitments shall automatically be reduced to $3,000,000,000 (such reduction to be allocated ratably among the Lenders based on their Commitments).

(b)                                 Ratable Reduction or Termination.  The Borrowers shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate in whole or permanently reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the respective Commitments of the Lenders; provided that each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $10,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided further, that the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the aggregate principal amount of Advances then outstanding; and provided further that any such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the consummation of a specific transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrowers if such condition is not satisfied.

(c)                                  Defaulting Lender Commitment Reductions.  The Borrowers may terminate the unused amount of the Commitments of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender upon not less than three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), it being understood that notwithstanding such Commitment termination, the provisions of Section 2.18(c) will continue to apply to all amounts thereafter paid by a Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.06                                      Repayment of Advances.  Each Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Commitment Termination Date, the aggregate principal amount of all Advances made to such Borrower outstanding on such date.

SECTION 2.07                                      Interest on Advances.  (a)  Scheduled Interest.  Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance made to it from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

30

(i)                                     Base Rate Advances.  During such periods as such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (A) the Base Rate in effect from time to time and (B) the Applicable Margin, payable in arrears quarterly on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, during such periods and on the Commitment Termination Date.

(ii)                                  Eurocurrency Rate Advances.  During such periods as such Advance is a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Advance to the sum of (A) the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period for such Advance, and (B) the Applicable Margin, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day that occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such Interest Period and on the date such Eurocurrency Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

(b)                                 Default Interest.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(a), the Administrative Agent shall, upon the request of the Required Lenders, require each Borrower to pay interest (“Default Interest”), which amount shall accrue as of the date of occurrence of the Event of Default, on (i) amounts that are overdue, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in Section 2.07(a)(i) or 2.07(a)(ii), at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such overdue amount pursuant to Section 2.07(a)(i) or 2.07(a)(ii) and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on Base Rate Advances pursuant to Section 2.07(a)(i), or in the case of amounts due in Alternative Currencies, at a rate for short term borrowings of Alternative Currencies determined in a customary manner in good faith by the Administrative Agent, provided, however, that following acceleration of the Advances pursuant to Section 6.01, Default Interest shall accrue and be payable hereunder whether or not previously required by the Administrative Agent.

(c)                                  Additional Interest on Eurocurrency Rate Advances.  Each Borrower shall pay to each Lender, so long as and to the extent such Lender shall be required under regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance of such Lender made to such Borrower that is a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, from the date of such Advance until such principal amount is paid in full, at an interest rate per annum equal at all times to the remainder obtained by subtracting (a) the Eurocurrency Rate for the applicable Interest Period for such Advance from (b) the rate obtained by dividing such Eurocurrency Rate by a percentage equal to 100% minus the Eurocurrency Rate Reserve Percentage of such Lender for such Interest Period, payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Advance.  Such Lender shall as soon as practicable provide notice to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower of any such additional interest arising in connection with such Advance, which notice shall be conclusive and binding, absent demonstrable error.

31

SECTION 2.08                                      Interest Rate Determination.  (a)  The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of Section 2.07(a)(i) or 2.07(a)(ii).

(b)                                 If, with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Advances, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means (including, without limitation, by means of an Interpolated Rate) do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period or (ii) the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that (x) they are unable to obtain matching deposits in the London inter-bank market at or about 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the second Business Day before (or in the case of Borrowings in Sterling, on the Business Day of) the making of a Borrowing in sufficient amounts to fund their respective Advances as a part of such Borrowing during its Interest Period or (y) the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Required Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurocurrency Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the applicable Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (A) such Borrower will, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, either, in the case of Dollar denominated Advances, (w) prepay such Advances or (x) Convert such Advances into Base Rate Advances or, in the case of Alternative Currency denominated Advances, (y) prepay such Advances or (z) consent to the maintenance of such Advances at a rate for short term borrowings of the Alternative Currency determined in a customary manner in good faith by the Administrative Agent and (B) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Dollar denominated Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended, and any applicable Alternative Currency denominated Advances shall be made and maintained at a rate for short term borrowings of Alternative Currency determined in a customary manner in good faith by the Administrative Agent, until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(c)                                  If a Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Rate Advances made to such Borrower in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify such Borrower and the Lenders and such Eurocurrency Rate Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into Base Rate Advances, or in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in an Alternative Currency, automatically Convert to a new Eurocurrency Rate Advance with an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d)                                 [reserved].

(e)                                  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance denominated in Dollars will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, be Converted into a Base Rate Advance (unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent) and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Dollar denominated Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended.

SECTION 2.09                                      Optional Conversion of Advances.  Each Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 A.M. (Chicago

32

time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion (or in the case of a Conversion into Base Rate Advances, the Business Day prior) and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.08 and 2.12, Convert all Advances denominated in Dollars made to such Borrower of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Advances of the other Type;  provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.01 and no Conversion of any Advances shall result in more separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(b).  Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the Advances to be Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Advance.  Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower giving such notice.

SECTION 2.10                                      Optional and Mandatory Prepayments of Advances.  (a) Each Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the proposed prepayment, given not later than 10:00 A.M. (Chicago time) on the date (which date shall be a Business Day) of such proposed prepayment, in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, and not later than 10:00 A.M. (Local Time) at least two Business Days prior to the date of such proposed prepayment, in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, and if such notice is given, such Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing made to such Borrower in whole or ratably in part, and in the case of any Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (i) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of the Borrowing Minimum or a Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof and (ii) if any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance is made on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Advance, such Borrower shall also pay any amount owing pursuant to Section 9.04(c); and provided, further, that, subject to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding proviso, any such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the consummation of a specific transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by such Borrower if such condition is not satisfied.

(b) In the event and on each occasion that the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of the Advances exceeds the aggregate Commitments by 105% or more, the Borrowers shall prepay Advances in an aggregate amount such that after giving effect to such prepayments, the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Advances does not exceed the aggregate Commitments.

SECTION 2.11                                      Increased Costs.  (a)  If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any directive, guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority including, without limitation, any agency of the European Union or similar monetary or multinational authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each case after the date hereof (or with respect to any Lender (or the Administrative Agent), if later, the date on which such Lender (or the Administrative Agent) becomes a Lender (or the Administrative Agent)), there shall be any

33

increase in the cost to any Lender or the Administrative Agent of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Advances (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.11 any such increased costs resulting from (i) Taxes as to which such Lender is indemnified under Section 2.14, (ii) Excluded Taxes, or (iii) Other Taxes), then the applicable Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent, if applicable), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender (or for its own account, if applicable) additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent for such increased cost.  A certificate describing such increased costs in reasonable detail delivered to the applicable Borrower shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent demonstrable error.

(b)                                 If any Lender reasonably determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any directive, guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority including, without limitation, any agency of the European Union or similar monetary or multinational authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each case promulgated or given after the date hereof (or with respect to any Lender, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender), affects or would affect the amount of capital, insurance or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and that the amount of such capital, insurance or liquidity is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder and other commitments of this type, the applicable Borrower shall, from time to time upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital, insurance or liquidity to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s Advances or commitment to lend hereunder.  A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent demonstrable error.

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.11 to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 2.11, (A) the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the rules and regulations issued thereunder or in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, and (B) all requests, rules, guidelines and directions promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any similar or successor agency, or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case, pursuant to Basel III) shall be deemed to have been enacted following the date hereof (or with respect to any Lender, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender); provided that no Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) unless such Lender is making corresponding demands on similarly situated borrowers in comparable credit facilities to which such Lender is a party.

SECTION 2.12              Illegality.   Notwithstanding  any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to Dollar denominated Advances, (a) if any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority, including without limitation, any agency of the European Union or similar monetary or multinational authority, asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Eurocurrency Lending Office to

34

perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances hereunder, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance of such Lender will automatically, upon such notification, be Converted into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of such Lender to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or to Convert Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and such Lender that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and (b) if Lenders constituting the Required Lenders so notify the Administrative Agent, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance of each Lender will automatically, upon such notification, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of each Lender to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or to Convert Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and each Lender that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any of the circumstances set forth in clauses (a) or (b) above arise with respect to Advances denominated in an Alternative Currency, such Alternative Currency denominated Advances shall be made or maintained, as applicable, at a rate for short term borrowings of such Alternative Currency determined in a customary manner in good faith by the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.13                                      Payments and Computations.  (a)  Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it under this Agreement not later than 11:00 A.M. (Local Time) on the day when due in Dollars (or (i) with respect to principal, interest or breakage indemnity due in respect of Advances denominated in an Alternative Currency, in such Alternative Currency and (ii) with respect to other payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.11 or 9.04 that are invoiced in a currency other than Dollars or an Alternative Currency shall be payable in the currency so invoiced) to the Administrative Agent at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in same day funds.  The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or commitment fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.02(c), 2.07(c), 2.11, 2.12(i) (or if applicable the last sentence of Section 2.12), 2.14, 2.15 or 9.04(c)) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the assignor for amounts which have accrued to but excluding the effective date of such assignment and to the assignee for amounts which have accrued from and after the effective date of such assignment.  All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.

(b)                                 Each Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender by such Borrower is not made when due hereunder, to charge from time to time against any or all of such Borrower’s accounts with such Lender any amount so due, unless otherwise agreed between such Borrower and such Lender.

(c)                                  All computations of interest based on the Base Rate or with respect to any Advances denominated in Sterling shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a

35

year of 365 or, other than with respect to Sterling, 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurocurrency Rate (other than with respect to any Advances denominated in Sterling) or the Federal Funds Rate (other than determinations of the Base Rate made at any time by reference to the Federal Funds Rate), and of commitment fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or such fees are payable.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent demonstrable error.

(d)                                 Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or commitment fee, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(e)                                  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender.  If and to the extent the applicable Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent, following prompt notice thereof, forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate, or in the case of amounts in an Alternative Currency, at a rate for short term borrowings of such Alternative Currency determined in a customary manner in good faith by the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.14                                      Taxes.  (a)  Any and all payments by or on behalf of a Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.13, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes, including levies, imposts, deductions, charges and withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and each Agent, (i) taxes imposed on (or measured by) its overall net income (however denominated), franchise taxes, and branch profits taxes, in each case only to the extent imposed by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be, is organized or any political subdivision thereof, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof or as a result of a present or former connection between such Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (other than connections arising from such Lender having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced any Loan Document, or sold or assigned an interest in any Advance or Loan Document), (ii) any branch profits Taxes imposed by the United States, (iii) backup withholding Tax imposed by the United States on payments by a Borrower to any Lender, (iv) any Tax that is imposed by the United States by reason of such recipient’s failure to comply

36

with Section 2.14(f), (v) United States federal, Jersey or United Kingdom withholding Tax pursuant to a law in effect at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new Applicable Lending Office), except to the extent that such Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new Applicable Lending Office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from a Borrower with respect to such withholding Tax pursuant to this Section 2.14, and (vi) any taxes imposed under FATCA, including as a result of such recipient’s failure to comply with Section 2.14(f)(iv) (all such excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments under any Loan Document being hereinafter referred to as “Excluded Taxes”).  If a Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Lender or any Agent, (A) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (B) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. If a Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Taxes other than Excluded Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Lender or any Agent, the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

(b)                                 In addition, without duplication of any other obligation set forth in this Section 2.14, each Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp and documentary Taxes and any other excise or property Taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made by it under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or performance under, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”), except to the extent such Other Taxes are Other Connection Taxes imposed solely as a result of an assignment or the designation of a new Applicable Lending Office.

(c)                                  Without duplication of any other obligation set forth in this Section 2.14, each Borrower, as applicable, shall indemnify each Lender and each Agent for the full amount of Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) and Other Taxes (except to the extent such Other Taxes are Other Connection Taxes imposed solely as a result of an assignment or the designation of a new Applicable Lending Office) imposed on or paid by such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be, in respect of Advances made to such Borrower and any liability (including, without limitation, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.  This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor.

(d)                                 Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that a Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of such Borrower to do so) and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.07(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority.  A certificate describing in reasonable detail the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive

37

absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e)                                  Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes for which a Borrower is responsible under this Section 2.14, such Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address as specified pursuant to Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(f)                                   Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.14(f)(i), (ii) or (iv) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i)                                     any Lender that is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to AbbVie and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of a Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

(ii)                                  any Lender that is not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to AbbVie and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of a Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1)                                 in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS

38

Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2)                                 executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3)                                 in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10-percent shareholder” of AbbVie within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(4)                                 to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 or Exhibit C-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(iii)                               any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies, as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(iv)                              if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as

39

applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for the purposes of this clause 2.14(f)(iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g)                                  In the event that an additional payment is made under Section 2.14(a) or 2.14(c) for the account of any Lender and such Lender, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, determines that it has irrevocably received a refund of any tax paid or payable by it in respect of or calculated with reference to the deduction or withholding giving rise to such additional payment, such Lender shall, to the extent that it determines that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such refund, pay to the applicable Borrower such amount as such Lender shall, in its reasonable discretion exercised in good faith, have determined is attributable to such deduction or withholding and will leave such Lender (after such payment) in no worse position than it would have been had such Borrower not been required to make such deduction or withholding.  Nothing contained in this Section 2.14(g) shall (i) interfere with the right of a Lender to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit or (ii) oblige any Lender to disclose any information relating to its tax returns, tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or (iii) require any Lender to take or refrain from taking any action that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.

(h)                                 Additional United Kingdom Withholding Tax Matters.

(i)                                     Subject to (ii) below, each Lender and each UK Borrower which makes a payment to such Lender shall cooperate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for such UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make such payment without withholding or deduction for Taxes imposed under the laws of the United Kingdom.

(ii)                                  (A)  A Lender on the Closing Date that (x) holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme and (y) wishes such scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall provide its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence to each UK Borrower and the Administrative Agent; and

40

(B) a Lender which becomes a Lender hereunder after the day on which this Agreement closes that (x) holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme and (y) wishes such scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall provide its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence to each UK Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and

(C)  upon satisfying either clause (A) or (B) above, such Lender shall have satisfied its obligation under paragraph (h)(i) above.

(iii)                               If a Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (h)(ii) above, the UK Borrower(s) shall make a Borrower DTTP filing with respect to such Lender, and shall promptly provide such Lender with a copy of such filing; provided that, if:

(A)  each UK Borrower making a payment to such Lender has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender; or

(B)  each UK Borrower making a payment to such Lender has made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender but:

(1) such Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs; or

(2)  HM Revenue & Customs has not given such UK Borrower authority to make payments to such Lender without a deduction for tax within 30 days of the date of such Borrower DTTP Filing;

and in each case, such UK Borrower has notified that Lender in writing of either (1) or (2) above, then such Lender and such UK Borrower shall cooperate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for such UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without withholding or deduction for Taxes imposed under the laws of the United Kingdom.

(iv)                              If a Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (h)(ii) above, no UK Borrower shall make a Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender’s Commitment(s) or its participation in any Loan unless the Lender otherwise agrees.

(v)                                 Each UK Borrower shall, promptly on making a Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of such Borrower DTTP Filing to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the relevant Lender.

(vi)                              Each Lender shall notify the Borrowers and Administrative Agent if it determines in its sole discretion that it ceases to be entitled to claim the benefits

41

of an income tax treaty to which the United Kingdom is a party with respect to payments made by any UK Borrower hereunder.

(i)                                     Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under the Loan Documents.

(j)                                    For purposes of this Section 2.14, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

SECTION 2.15                                      Sharing of Payments, Etc.  Subject to Section 2.18 in the case of a Defaulting Lender, if any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of the Advances owing to it (other than pursuant to Section 2.02(c), 2.07(c), 2.11, 2.12(a), 2.14 or 9.04(c)) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Advances owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (b) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.  Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.  The provisions of this Section 2.15 shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement as in effect from time to time or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances to any assignee or participant permitted hereunder.

SECTION 2.16                                      Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Advances shall be available, and the Borrowers agree that they shall apply such proceeds, towards financing the working capital needs and general corporate purposes of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries.

SECTION 2.17                                      Evidence of Debt.  (a)  The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d) shall include (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder by each Borrower, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from a Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.

42

(b)                                 Entries made reasonably and in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (a) above shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from a Borrower to each Lender under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit, expand or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.18                                      Defaulting Lenders.

(a)                                 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (it being understood that the determination of whether a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender shall be made as described in Section 2.18(b)):

(i)                                     such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any fees accruing during such period pursuant to Section 2.04(a);

(ii)                                  to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder, and the Commitment and the outstanding Advances of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as required, 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); provided that any such amendment or waiver that would increase or extend the term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender; and

(iii)                               the applicable Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, require such Defaulting Lender to assign and delegate its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.07.

(b)                                 If the applicable Borrower 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 at par such portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances and unused Commitments to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and

43

provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-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.

(c)                                  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 6.01 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.05 shall be applied at such time or times as follows:  first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second as the applicable Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent; third, as the applicable Borrower may request, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to a Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or otherwise pursuant to this Section 2.18(c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

SECTION 2.19              Mitigation.  (a)  Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge that will result in, and will use reasonable commercial efforts available to it (and not, in such Lender’s good faith judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender) to mitigate or avoid, (i) any obligation by the Borrowers to pay any amount pursuant to Section 2.11 or 2.14 or (ii) the occurrence of any circumstance described in Section 2.12 (and, if any Lender has given notice of any such event described in clause (i) or (ii) above and thereafter such event ceases to exist, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent).  In furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender will designate a different funding office if such designation will avoid (or reduce the cost to the Borrowers of) any event described in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence and such designation will not, in such Lender’s good faith judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender fails to notify the Borrowers of any event or circumstance which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to Section 2.11 within 180 days after such Lender obtains knowledge of such event or circumstance, then such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation from the Borrowers for any amount arising prior to the date which is 180 days before the date on which such Lender notifies the Borrowers of such event or circumstance.

44

SECTION 2.20                                      VAT.  Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.14 to the contrary:

(a)                                 All amounts expressed to be payable under a Loan Document by any Loan Party to a Lender Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (b) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender Party to any Loan Party under a Loan Document and such Lender Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Loan Party must pay to such Lender Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Lender Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that Loan Party).

(b)                                 If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Lender Party (the “Recipient”) under a Loan Document, and any Loan Party other than the Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration):

(i)                                     (where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT.  The Recipient must (where this paragraph (i) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

(ii)                                  (where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

(c)                                  Where a Loan Document requires any Loan Party to reimburse or indemnify a Lender Party for any cost or expense, that Loan Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Lender Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Lender Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(v)                                 Ensure that the Scheme Documents or, if the Shire Acquisition is effected by way of a Takeover Offer, the Offer Documents, provided to the Administrative Agent contain all the material terms and conditions of the Scheme or Takeover Offer, as at that date, as applicable.

57

(vii)                           Except as consented to by the Administrative Agent in writing, not amend or waive (i) any term of the Scheme Documents or the Takeover Offer Documents, as applicable, in a manner materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders from those in the Original Press Release, or (ii) if the Shire Acquisition is proceeding as a Takeover Offer, the Acceptance Condition, save for, (A) in the case of clause (i), any amendment or waiver required by the Panel, the City Code, a court or any other applicable law, regulation or regulatory body or (B) in the case of clause (ii), a waiver of the Acceptance Condition to permit the Takeover Offer to become unconditional with acceptance of Shire Shares (excluding any shares held in treasury) which, when aggregated with all Shire Shares owned by AbbVie NewCo (directly or indirectly), represent not less than 662/3% of all Shire Shares (excluding any shares held in treasury) as at the date on which the Takeover Offer is declared unconditional as to acceptances.

(viii)                        Not take any action which would require AbbVie NewCo to make a mandatory offer for the Shire Shares in accordance with Rule 9 of the City Code.

(ix)                              Provide the Administrative Agent with copies of each Offer Document and such information as it may reasonably request regarding, in the case of a Takeover Offer, the current level of acceptances subject to any confidentiality, legal, regulatory or other restrictions relating to the supply of such information.

(xii)                           In the case of a Takeover Offer, (i) not declare the Takeover Offer unconditional as to acceptances until the Acceptance Condition has been satisfied and (ii) promptly upon AbbVie NewCo or New Foreign HoldCo acquiring Shire Shares which represent not less than 90% in nominal value of the Shire Shares to which the Takeover Offer relates, ensure that notices under Article 117 of the Jersey Companies Law in respect of Shire Shares that AbbVie NewCo has not yet agreed to directly or indirectly acquire are issued.

(xiii)                        In the case of a Scheme, within 90 days of the Scheme Effective Date, and in relation to a Takeover Offer, within 90 days after the later of (i) the Closing Date and (ii) the date upon which AbbVie NewCo (directly or indirectly) owns and/or has agreed to own or acquire and has received valid acceptances (which have not been withdrawn or cancelled) of Shire Shares (excluding any shares held in treasury) in respect of, which, when aggregated with all other Shire Shares owned by AbbVie NewCo (directly or indirectly), represent not less than 75% of all Shire Shares (excluding any shares held in treasury), procure that such action as is necessary is taken to de-list the Shire Shares from the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and to cancel trading in the Shire Shares on the main market for listed securities of the London stock exchange and as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, and subject always to the Jersey Companies Law, use its reasonable endeavors to re-register Shire as a private limited company.

59

fund any activities or business of or with any Embargoed Person, or in any country or territory, that at the time of such funding is the target of any Sanctions, (ii) in any other manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by the Agents, Lenders, AbbVie or any Member of the Consolidated Group or (iii) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws.

Best Company, has been notified of, and has not disputed the claim made for payment of, such judgment or order; or

65

(g)                                  (i) Any Person or two or more Persons acting in concert shall have acquired beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), directly or indirectly, of Voting Stock of the Reporting Entity (or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for such Voting Stock) representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of all Voting Stock of the Reporting Entity (on a fully diluted basis); (ii) during any period of up to 24 consecutive months, commencing after the date of this Agreement, a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Reporting Entity shall not be Continuing Directors; or (iii) AbbVie shall cease to be a wholly-owned direct or indirect Subsidiary of AbbVie NewCo (to the extent AbbVie NewCo is the Reporting Entity); or

(i)                                     This Agreement (including the Guaranty set forth in Article VIII) shall cease to be valid and enforceable against the Loan Parties (except to the extent it is terminated in accordance with its terms) or a Loan Party shall so assert in writing;

then, and in any such event, the Administrative Agent (i) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrowers, declare the obligation of each Lender to make Advances to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate, and (ii) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrowers, declare the Advances, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Advances, all such interest and all such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers; provided, however, that in the event of an Event of Default under Section 6.01(e), (A) the Commitment of each Lender shall automatically be terminated and (B) the Advances, all such interest and all such amounts shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, unless the Acquisition Cancellation has occurred, for a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date falling 120 days after the Closing Date (the “Clean-up Date”), notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, any breach of covenants, misrepresentation or other default which arises with respect to the Shire Group will be deemed not to be a breach of representation or warranty, a breach of covenant or an Event of Default, as the case may be, if:

(i)                                     it is capable of remedy and reasonable steps are being taken to remedy it;

(ii)                                  the circumstances giving rise to it have not knowingly been procured by or approved by a Borrower; and

66

(iii)                               it is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Reporting Entity and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis.

If the relevant circumstances are continuing on or after the Clean-up Date, there shall be a breach of representation or warranty, breach of covenant or Event of Default, as the case may be, notwithstanding the above.

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 any other Loan Document); 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 Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law.

67

(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 Section 9.01 or 6.01) 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 Event of Default unless and until a Borrower or any Lender shall have given notice to the Administrative Agent describing such Default or Event of Default.

(c)                                  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Agent 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, 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, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III 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.

(d)                                 Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any person on behalf of any Lender, and each Lender confirms to the Administrative Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties.

SECTION 7.04                                      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 Effective Date, the making of any Advance or the Closing Date that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Lender shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted such condition unless (i) 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 occurrence of the Effective Date, the making of such Advance or the Closing Date, as applicable, and (ii) in the case of a condition to the making of an Advance, such Lender shall not have made available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for a Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

68

SECTION 7.05                                      Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its 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 VII and Section 9.04 (as though such sub-agents were the “Administrative Agent” under this Agreement) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

SECTION 7.06                                      Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a)                                 The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrowers Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right (with the consent of the Borrowers, provided that no consent of the Borrowers shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States.  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 (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders (and with the consent of the Borrowers, provided that no consent of the Borrowers shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above.  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b)                                 If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, such Person shall automatically and without the taking of any action by any Person, be removed as Administrative Agent on the date that is 30 days following the date such Person became a Defaulting Lender (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”).  In connection therewith, the Required Lenders, in consultation with the Borrowers, shall appoint a successor.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment on or prior to the Removal Effective Date, then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c)                                  With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be

69

discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. 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 or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article VII and Section 9.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed 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 or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 7.07                                      Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 7.08                                      Indemnification.  The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by any Borrower), ratably according to the respective principal amounts of the Advances made by each of them (or, if no Advances are at the time outstanding, ratably according to the respective amounts of their Commitments), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, in each case, acting in the capacity of Administrative Agent; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrowers.

SECTION 7.09                                      Other Agents. None of the Lenders identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as an “arranger”, “book runner”, “syndication agent” or “documentation agent” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such.  Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

ARTICLE VIII

GUARANTY

SECTION 8.01                                      Guaranty. The Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lender Parties (defined below) (the “Guaranty”), as a guarantee of payment and not as a guarantee of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities, whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, voluntary or involuntary, of the Borrowers to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (collectively the “Lender Parties”) arising under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including all renewals, extensions and modifications thereof (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty (other than payment in full in cash).

SECTION 8.02                                      No Termination. This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and payable) and any other amounts payable under this Guaranty are indefeasibly paid and performed in full and the Commitments have terminated.

SECTION 8.03                                      Waiver by the Guarantor. The Guarantor waives notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty and of the extension or continuation of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof. The Guarantor further waives presentment, protest, notice, dishonor or default, demand for payment and any other notices to which the Guarantor might otherwise be entitled other than any notice required hereunder.

SECTION 8.04                                      Subrogation. The Guarantor shall not exercise any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification or contribution, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Lender Parties or any similar right with respect to any payment it makes under this Guaranty with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations until all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and payable) have been paid in full in cash and the Commitments have terminated. If any amount is paid to the Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lender Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Lender Parties to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

SECTION 8.05                                      Waiver of Defenses. The liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

71

(a)                                 any lack of validity or enforceability against the Borrowers of this Agreement or any agreement or other instrument relating thereto;

(b)                                 any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligation of the Borrowers under or in respect of this Agreement or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from this Agreement, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to the Borrowers or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise;

(c)                                  any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(d)                                 any manner of application of collateral, if any, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other asset of the Borrowers or any of its Subsidiaries;

(e)                                  any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Borrowers or any of its Subsidiaries;

(f)                                   any failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to disclose to the Guarantor any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of the Borrowers now or hereafter known to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (the Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to disclose such information);

(g)                                  the release or reduction of liability of any other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or

(h)                                 any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Administrative Agent or any Lender that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower, the Guarantor or any other guarantor or surety (other than defense of payment in full in cash).

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Lender Party or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of a Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

SECTION 8.06                                      Exhaustion of Other Remedies Not Required. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety. The Guarantor waives diligence by the Lender Parties and action on delinquency in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, including, without limitation, any provision of law requiring the Lender Parties to exhaust any right or remedy or to take any action against the Borrowers, any

72

other guarantor or any other Person or property before enforcing this Guaranty against the Guarantor.

SECTION 8.07                                      Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, upon any action or proceeding, of a Borrower or any other Person, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantor immediately upon demand by the Administrative Agent as and to the extent that the Administrative Agent has the right to demand such amounts pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof.

SECTION 8.08                                      Jersey Guarantor.  The Guarantor, which is incorporated in Jersey, irrevocably waives and abandons any and all rights under the laws of Jersey:

(a)                                 whether by virtue of the droit de division or otherwise, to require that any liability under this Guaranty be divided or apportioned with any other person or reduced in any manner whatsoever; and

(b)                                 whether by virtue of the droit de discussion or otherwise, to require that recourse be had to the assets of any other person before any claim is enforced against the Guarantor under this Guaranty.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 9.01                                      Amendments, Etc.

(a)                                 No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor consent to any departure by a Loan Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders and the Loan Parties and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing, do any of the following:

(i)                                     waive any of the conditions specified in Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.03 unless signed by each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(ii)                                  increase or extend the Commitments of a Lender or subject a Lender to any additional obligations, unless signed by such Lender;

(iii)                               reduce the principal of, or stated rate of interest on, the Advances, the stated rate at which any fees hereunder are calculated or any other amounts payable hereunder, unless signed by each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Interest” or to waive any obligation of the Borrowers to pay Default Interest;

73

(iv)                              postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, unless signed by each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(v)                                 change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Advances, or the number of Lenders, that, in each case, shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder, unless signed by all Lenders;

(vi)                              amend this Section 9.01, unless signed by all Lenders; or

(vii)                           release the Guarantor from the Guaranty, unless signed by all Lenders;

and provided further that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend any Loan Document to correct any errors, mistakes, omissions, defects or inconsistencies, or to effect administrative changes that are not adverse to any Lender, and such amendment shall become effective without any further consent of any other party to such Loan Document other than the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers.

(b)                                 If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “all Lenders,” “each Lender” or “each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrowers may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement; provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity (which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent) shall agree, as of such date, to purchase at par for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date, and (ii) the Borrowers shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement all principal, interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrowers to and including the date of termination.  A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 9.02                                      Notices, Etc.  (a)  All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telecopier) and mailed, telecopied or delivered, if to a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to the address, telecopier number or if applicable, electronic mail address, specified for such Person on Schedule II; or, as to a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties and, as to each other party, at such other address as shall be

74

designated by such party in a written notice to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent.  All such notices and communications shall, when mailed or telecopied, be effective three Business Days after being deposited in the mails, postage prepaid, or upon confirmation of receipt (except that if electronic confirmation of receipt is received at a time that the recipient is not open for business, the applicable notice or communication shall be effective at the opening of business on the next business day of the recipient), respectively, except that notices and communications to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article II, III or VII shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent.  Delivery by telecopier or other electronic communication of an executed counterpart of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any Exhibit hereto to be executed and delivered hereunder shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.

(b)                                 Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or any Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

(c)                                  THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS.  NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM.  In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of a Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or

75

expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to a Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

(d)                                 Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any communication has been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such information, documents or other materials to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, telecopier number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender.  Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrowers, the Guarantor or their securities for purposes of United States federal or state securities laws.

(e)                                  If any notice required under this Agreement is permitted to be made, and is made, by telephone, actions taken or omitted to be taken in reliance thereon by the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be binding upon the Borrowers notwithstanding any inconsistency between the notice provided by telephone and any subsequent writing in confirmation thereof provided to the Administrative Agent or such Lender; provided that any such action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have been in good faith and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(f)                                   With respect to notices and other communications hereunder from a Borrower to any Lender, such Borrower shall provide such notices and other communications to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver such notices and other communications to any such Lender in accordance with subsection (b) above or otherwise.

SECTION 9.03                                      No Waiver; Remedies.  No failure on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.  The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by applicable law.

SECTION 9.04                                      Costs and Expenses.  (a)  The Borrowers agree to pay, upon demand, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of this Agreement and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, (i) all due diligence, syndication (including printing and distribution), duplication and messenger costs and (ii) the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of a single primary counsel (and a local

76

counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) for the Administrative Agent with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Agents as to their respective rights and responsibilities under this Agreement.  The Borrowers further agree to pay, upon demand, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agents and the Lenders, if any, in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of a single primary counsel and an additional single local counsel in any local jurisdictions for the Agents and the Lenders and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers of the existence of such conflict, one additional counsel, in connection with the enforcement of rights under this Agreement.

(b)                                 The Borrowers agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and each Lender and each of their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, penalties, liabilities and expenses (provided, that, the Borrowers’ obligations to the Indemnified Parties in respect of fees and expenses of counsel shall be limited to the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel for all Indemnified Parties, taken together, (and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction) and, solely in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest, of one additional counsel for all Indemnified Parties, taken together (and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction) (all such claims, damages, losses, penalties, liabilities and reasonable expenses being, collectively, the “Losses”) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of, or in connection with the preparation for a defense of, any investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of, related to or in connection with (i) this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on any property of the Consolidated Group or any Environmental Action relating in any way to the Consolidated Group, in each case whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by a Borrower, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person or any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, except to the extent Losses (A) are found in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates (including any breach of its obligations under this Agreement), (B) result from any dispute between an Indemnified Party and one or more other Indemnified Parties (other than against an Agent acting in such a role)  or (C) result from the claims of one or more Lenders solely against one or more other Lenders (and not claims by one or more Lenders against any Agent acting in its capacity as such except, in the case of Losses incurred by any Agent or any Lender as a result of such claims, to the extent such Losses are found in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (including any breach of its obligations under this Agreement)) not attributable to any actions of a member of the Consolidated Group and for which the members of the Consolidated Group otherwise have no liability.  The Loan Parties further agree that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to any Loan Party, their Subsidiaries or any of their shareholders or creditors for or in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the actual or

proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances, except to the extent such liability is found in a final nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (including any breach of its obligations under this Agreement).  In no event, however, shall any Indemnified Party be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this section 9.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c)                                  If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurocurrency Rate Advance is made by a Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of (i) a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.08(d), 2.08(e), 2.10 or 2.12, (ii) acceleration of the maturity of the Advances pursuant to Section 6.01, (iii) a payment by an Eligible Assignee to any Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance upon an assignment of the rights and obligations of such Lender under this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.07 as a result of a demand by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 9.07(a) or (iv) for any other reason, such Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional reasonable losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion or as a result of any inability to Convert or exchange in the case of Section 2.08 or 2.12, including, without limitation, any reasonable loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Advance.

(d)                                 Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of a Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in Sections 2.11, 2.14 and 9.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 9.05                                      Right of Setoff.  Subject to Section 3.04, upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Advances due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the applicable Borrower after any such setoff and application is made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.  The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section 9.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) that such Lender and its Affiliates may have.

78

SECTION 9.06                                      Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall become effective upon the satisfaction (or waiver in accordance with Section 9.01) of the conditions set forth in Section 3.01 and, thereafter, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that the Loan Parties shall have no right to assign their rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each Lender, and any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

SECTION 9.07                                      Assignments and Participations.  (a)  Each Lender may, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and, in the case of the Borrowers, (A) shall not be required while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) shall be deemed given if the Borrowers shall not have objected within 10 Business Days following its receipt of notice of such assignment (and, within five days after demand by the Borrowers (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent) to (i) any Defaulting Lender, (ii) any Lender that has made a demand for payment pursuant to Section 2.11 or 2.14, (iii) any Lender that has asserted pursuant to Section 2.08(b) or 2.12 that it is impracticable or unlawful for such Lender to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or (iv) any Lender that fails to consent to an amendment or waiver hereunder for which consent of all Lenders (or all affected Lenders) is required and as to which the Required Lenders shall have given their consent, such Lender will), assign to one or more Persons (other than natural persons) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances owing to it); provided, however, that:

(A)                               such consent shall not be required in the case of an assignment to any other Lender or an Affiliate of any Lender, provided that notice thereof shall have been given to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent;

(B)                               each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(C)                               except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $25,000,000 or an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof;

(D)                               each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee;

(E)                                each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 9.07(a) shall be arranged by the Borrowers with the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that, in the

79

aggregate, cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement;

(F)                                 no Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 9.07(a), (1) so long as a Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (2) unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from one or more Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances owing to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount, and from a Borrower or one or more Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount equal to all other amounts accrued to such Lender under this Agreement (including, without limitation, any amounts owing under Sections 2.11, 2.14 or 9.04(c)) and (3) unless and until the Borrowers shall have paid (or caused to be paid) to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.  The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and

(G)                               the parties to each such assignment (other than, except in the case of a demand by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 9.07(a), the Borrowers) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance and, if such assignment does not occur as a result of a demand by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 8.07(a) (in which case the Borrowers shall pay the fee required by subclause (F)(3) of this Section 8.07(a)), a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.  The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement, except that such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of Section 9.04(a) and (b) with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder (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).

(b)                                 By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:

(i)                                     other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no

80

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 or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto;

(ii)                                  such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Borrower or the performance or observance by any Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto;

(iii)                               such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01(e) 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;

(iv)                              such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon any 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;

(v)                                 such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee;

(vi)                              such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and

(vii)                           such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(c)                                  Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers.

(d)                                 The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as the agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.02(a) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for

81

inspection by the Borrowers or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e)                                  Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than a Borrower or any of its Affiliates or any natural person) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances owing to it) without the consent of the Administrative Agent or any Borrower; provided, however, that:

(i)                                     such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment) shall remain unchanged;

(ii)                                  such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations;

(iii)                               such Lender shall remain the Lender of any such Advance for all purposes of this Agreement;

(iv)                              the Borrowers, the Agents 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

(v)                                 no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure by any Borrower herefrom or therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or stated rate of interest on, the Advances or the stated rate at which any fees or any other amounts payable hereunder are calculated, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or any other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation.

Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers after any sale of a participation by such Lender pursuant to this Section 9.07(e); provided that the failure of such Lender to give notice to the Borrowers as provided herein shall not affect the validity of such participation or impose any obligations on such Lender or the applicable participant.

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the

82

Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(f)                                   Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to the Borrowers furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Borrowers received by it from such Lender as more fully set forth in Section 9.08.

(g)                                  Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation and the Advances owing to it) to secure obligations of such Lender, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment to secure obligations in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender.

SECTION 9.08                                      Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees 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 or its Affiliates (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 (provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, agrees that it will, to the extent practicable and other than with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority, notify the Borrowers promptly thereof, unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation), (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement 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 a 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 consent of the Borrowers 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 non-confidential basis from a source other than a Borrower.  In addition, the Agents may disclose the existence of this Agreement and

83

information about this Agreement to service providers to the Agents in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments.  Each Lender acknowledges that its ability to disclose information concerning the Transactions is restricted by the City Code and the Panel and that Section 9.08 is subject to those restrictions.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and all information received from the Consolidated Group relating to the Consolidated Group or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Consolidated Group.  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 9.09                                      Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 9.10                                      Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier, facsimile or in a .pdf or similar file shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.11                                      Jurisdiction, Etc.  (a)  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court sitting in New York County or any federal court of the United States of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, 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 shall be heard and determined in any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in any 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.

(b)                                 Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement 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 Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints AbbVie as its authorized agent for service of process in any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, and agrees that service of process upon such agent, and written notice of said service to such Loan Party by the Person serving the same, each in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.02, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon such Loan Party in any such

84

suit, action or proceeding. Each other party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.02.  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 9.12                                      Patriot Act Notice.  Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act.  The Loan Parties shall provide, to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lenders in order to assist the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act.

SECTION 9.13                                      No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.  In its capacity as an Agent or a Lender, (a) no Agent or Lender has any responsibility except as set forth herein and (b) no Agent or Lender shall be subject to any fiduciary duties or other implied duties (to the extent permitted by law to be waived).  Each Borrower agrees that it will not take any position or bring any claim against any Agent or any Lender that is contrary to the preceding sentence.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof), each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Agents and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between each Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agents and the Lenders, on the other hand; (ii) each Agent and each Lender is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor or agent for any Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person; and (iii) the Agents, the Lenders and each of their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of such Borrower and its Affiliates, and no Agent or Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to such Borrower or its Affiliates.

SECTION 9.14                                      Waiver of Jury Trial.  Each of the Borrowers and the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the actions of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement thereof.

SECTION 9.15                                      Conversion of Currencies.  If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

85

The obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss.  The obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 9.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 9.16                                      Borrower Obligations Joint and Several; Acquisition Cancellation.  The obligations of the Borrowers hereunder are joint and several; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Acquisition Cancellation occurs (i) AbbVie NewCo shall automatically cease to be a “Borrower” hereunder and shall be released from this Agreement and its obligations hereunder and (ii) New Foreign HoldCo shall automatically cease to be a “Guarantor” hereunder and shall automatically be released from this Agreement, its Guaranty and its other obligations hereunder.  The Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any releases or other agreements and make any modifications to this Agreement as necessary without any further consent from any Lenders in order to effect the terms of this Section 9.16.
