Section 2.4 Disbursement of Funds

(a) Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans. No later than 12:00 Noon (local time in the city in which the proceeds of the applicable Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loan (other than Individual Currency Loans) are to be made available in accordance with the terms hereof) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (or no later than 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date specified for the borrowing of each such Swing Line Loan and Revolving Loan in Dollars), each Lender will make available its pro rata portion of the Loans requested to be made on such date (or in the case of Swing Line Loans, the Swing Line Lender shall make available the full amount thereof), in the applicable Currency. All such Loans shall be made available in immediately available funds at the Applicable Payment Office of the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent will make available to the applicable Borrower at such Applicable Payment Office, in the applicable Currency, and in immediately available funds, the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders prior to 2:30 P.M. (local time in the city in which the proceeds of such Loans are to be made available in accordance with the terms hereof) on such day (or 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on such day for Swing Line Loans and Revolving Loans in Dollars), in each case to the extent of funds actually received by the Administrative Agent.

(b) Individual Currency Loans. No later than 12:00 Noon (local time in the city in which the proceeds of the applicable Individual Currency Loans are to be made available in accordance with the terms hereof) on the relevant Borrowing Date for each such Individual Currency Loan, each Lender having an Individual Currency Commitment in the Currency in which such Individual Currency Loans are to be made shall make available its pro rata portion of the aggregate amount (pro rata among such Lenders in accordance with each such Lender’s Individual Currency Commitment in such Currency) of such Individual Currency Loans requested to be made on such Borrowing Date directly to the applicable Borrower at such Lender’s Applicable Payment Office, in each case in immediately available funds in the applicable Currency.

(c) Failure to Fund. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender prior to the making of any Loans that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of the Loans (other than Individual Currency Loans) to be made on such date the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with all costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such applicable Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate in effect (or in the case of Alternate Currency Loans, at a rate equal to the all-in cost of funds of the Administrative Agent for the applicable Currency) on each such day as determined by the Administrative Agent. If such corresponding amount is not made available by such Lender to the Administrative Agent within one Business Day after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to receive from the applicable Borrower such amount, together with, in the case of a Loan, the interest rate applicable to such Loan as determined pursuant to Section 3.1. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the applicable Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder.

(d) Borrower Accounts. Each Loan made to a Borrower shall be made to its applicable payment account specified on Exhibit L or such other account which it may from time to time specify by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lenders.

The Parent and each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the date and amount of each direct payment made by a Borrower to such Lender in respect of each Individual Currency Loan pursuant to this Section 2.5(a).

(b) Swing Line Loans. Each payment, including each prepayment, of principal and interest on the Swing Line Loans shall be made by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent at its Applicable Payment Office in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent at such office by 12:00 Noon (local time in the city in which such Applicable Payment Office is located) on the due date for such payment and, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent in like funds as received, to the Swing Line Lender.

(c) Late Payments. The failure of the Parent or any of the Borrowers to make any such payment by the time required above in this Section 2.5 shall not constitute a default hereunder, provided that such payment is made on such due date, but any such payment made after 12:00 Noon (local time in the city in which such Applicable Payment Office is located) on such due date shall be deemed to have been made on the next Business Day for the purpose of calculating interest on the applicable amounts payable.

(d) Non-Cooperative Jurisdictions. None of the payments made by or on account of a French Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents and, as for payments received from or on account from a French Borrower, none of the payments remitted to any Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall be paid or remitted to an account opened with a financial institution situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction.

(e) Alternate Currencies. The principal of and interest on each Alternate Currency Loan shall be paid only in the applicable Currency for such Alternate Currency Loan.

(f) Payments Due on Days Which are Not Business Days. If any payment hereunder shall be due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof (except as otherwise provided herein) shall be extended to the next Business Day and with respect to payments in respect of principal and interest shall be payable at the applicable rate specified herein during such extension.

(g) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by the Administrative Agent to pay fully all payments of principal of Loans, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest, fees and commissions then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest, fees and commissions then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest, fees and commissions then due to such parties and (ii) second, towards payment of principal of Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements, then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal of Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements, then due to such parties.

(h) Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of, or interest on, any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swing Line Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements or Swing Line Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements or Swing Line Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of, and accrued interest on, their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements or Swing Line Loans, provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this subsection shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to a Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this subsection shall apply). Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

(i) Payments in Euro. A payment in Euros shall be deemed to have been made by the Administrative Agent on the date on which it is required to be made under this Agreement if the Administrative Agent has, on or before that date, taken all relevant steps to make that payment. With respect to the payment of any amount denominated in Euro, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any Borrower or any of the Lenders in any way whatsoever for any delay, or the consequences of any delay, in the crediting to any account of any amount required by this Agreement to be paid by the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent shall have taken all relevant steps to achieve, on the date required by this Agreement, the payment of such amount in immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds in Euros to the account with the bank in the Participating Member State which the relevant Borrower or, as the case may be, any Lender shall have specified for such purpose. In this subsection (i), “all relevant steps” means all such steps as may be prescribed from time to time by the regulations or operating procedures of such clearing or settlement system as the Administrative Agent may from time to time determine to be applicable for the purpose of clearing or settling payments of Euros. Any amount payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders under this Agreement in the currency of a Participating Member State shall be paid in Euros.

Section 2.6 Pro Rata Borrowings

(a) Revolving Loans. In connection with each borrowing of Revolving Loans, each Lender shall make available an amount equal to the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans, multiplied by such Lender’s Core Currency Commitment Percentage.

(b) Individual Currency Loans. In connection with each borrowing of Individual Currency Loans in the same Currency, each Lender having an Individual Currency Commitment in such Currency shall make available an amount equal to the aggregate amount of such Individual Currency Loans, multiplied by such Lender’s pro rata portion thereof (pro rata among such Lenders in accordance with each such Lender’s Individual Currency Commitment in such Currency).

(c) General. The obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder. Each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

(C) if, after giving effect to any such reallocation of the Core Currency Commitments, Revolving Loans would be outstanding, then simultaneously with such reallocation (1) such Lender and each other Lender shall be deemed to have entered into a master assignment and assumption agreement, in form and substance substantially similar to Exhibit D, pursuant to which such Lender shall have assigned to or purchased from, as the case may be, each other Lender a portion of such other Lender’s Revolving Loans necessary to reflect proportionately the Core Currency Commitments as reallocated in accordance with this subsection (d), and (2) in connection with such assignment, such Lender or each such other Lender, as the case may be, shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the other, such amount as shall be necessary to appropriately reflect the assignment to it of Revolving Loans, and in connection with such master assignment such Lender and each such other Lender may treat the assignment of Fixed Rate Loans as a prepayment of such Fixed Rate Loans for purposes of Section 3.5;

Such notice shall be irrevocable and the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified, together with accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount prepaid. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof in the case of Revolving Loans, the Swing Line Lender in the case of Swing Line Loans and the applicable Lender or Lenders in the case of Individual Currency Loans. Each partial prepayment of ABR Advances and Core Currency Advances pursuant to this subsection shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or such amount plus a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or an amount in the applicable Alternate Currency having a Dollar Equivalent of approximately $500,000 or such amount plus a whole multiple of approximately $100,000 in excess thereof in the case of a partial prepayment of Alternate Core Currency Revolving Loans), or, if less, the outstanding principal balance thereof.

After giving effect to any partial prepayment with respect to Core Currency Advances which were made (whether as the result of a borrowing or a conversion) on the same date and which had the same Interest Period, the outstanding principal amount of such Core Currency Advances shall equal (subject to Section 3.2) $500,000 or such amount plus a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or the Alternate Currency Equivalent of approximately $500,000 or such amount plus a whole multiple of approximately $100,000 in excess thereof in the case of a prepayment of Core Currency Advances in an Alternate Currency).

(b) Mandatory Prepayments of Loans

(i) Subject to clause (ii) below with respect to Swing Line Loans, simultaneously with each reduction of the Aggregate Core Currency Commitments under Section 2.7, the applicable Borrowers shall prepay the Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans (determined on the basis of the Dollar Equivalent for each outstanding Alternate Core Currency Revolving Loan or Alternate Core Currency Swing Line Loan) by the amount, if any, by which the Aggregate Core Currency Credit Exposure exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Core Currency Commitments as so reduced.

(ii) Simultaneously with each reduction of the Swing Line Commitment under Section 2.7, the applicable Borrowers shall prepay the Swing Line Loans by the amount, if any, by which the outstanding principal balance of the Swing Line Loans (determined on the basis of the Dollar Equivalent for each outstanding Alternate Core Currency Swing Line Loan) exceeds the amount of the Swing Line Commitment as so reduced.

(iii) Simultaneously with each reallocation resulting in a reduction of an Individual Currency Commitment of any Lender under Section 2.7, the applicable Borrower shall prepay the Individual Currency Loans made by such Lender to such Borrower under such Individual Currency Commitment by the amount, if any, by which the outstanding principal balance of such Individual Currency Loans exceeds the amount of such Individual Currency Commitment as so reduced.

(iv) If on any date that the Dollar Equivalent is required to be calculated pursuant to Section 11.5 the Aggregate Credit Exposure shall exceed the Aggregate Commitments, the applicable Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate principal amount such that, immediately after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments.

(v) If on any date that the Dollar Equivalent is required to be calculated pursuant to Section 11.5 the Aggregate Core Currency Credit Exposure shall exceed the Aggregate Core Currency Commitments, the applicable Borrowers shall prepay the Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans in an aggregate principal amount such that, immediately after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Core Currency Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Core Currency Commitments.

(vi) If on any date that the Dollar Equivalent is required to be calculated pursuant to Section 11.5 the Aggregate Individual Currency Credit Exposure shall exceed the Aggregate Individual Currency Commitments, the applicable Borrowers shall prepay the Individual Currency Loans in an aggregate principal amount such that, immediately after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Individual Currency Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Individual Currency Commitments.

(vii) If on any date that the Dollar Equivalent is required to be calculated pursuant to Section 11.5 the outstanding principal amount of Individual Currency Loans of any Lender in any Non-Core Currency shall exceed the Individual Currency Commitment of such Lender in such Non-Core Currency, the applicable Borrowers shall prepay such Individual Currency Loans in an aggregate principal amount such that, immediately after giving effect thereto, the outstanding principal amount of such Individual Currency Loans shall not exceed the Individual Currency Commitment of such Lender in such Non-Core Currency.

(c) In General. If any prepayment is made in respect of any Core Currency Advance, Swing Line Negotiated Rate Advance or Individual Currency Loan, in whole or in part, prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Borrower agrees to indemnify the Lenders in accordance with Section 3.5.

Section 2.9 Letters of Credit

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Parent and a Letter of Credit Applicant may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of a Letter of Credit Applicant in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the period from the Effective Date to the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date. Each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in a Core Currency, provided that, at the request of any Letter of Credit Applicant, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, issue one or more Letters of Credit for the account of such Letter of Credit Applicant in one or more Non-Core Currencies. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Parent and any Letter of Credit Applicant to, or entered into by the Parent and any Letter of Credit Applicant with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Notice of Issuance; Amendment; Renewal; Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Parent and the applicable Letter of Credit Applicant shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (not later than three Business Days before the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a Letter of Credit Request requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.9(c)), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the Currency in which such Letter of Credit is requested to be denominated, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Parent and the applicable Letter of Credit Applicant also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank's standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and, upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the Parent and such Letter of Credit Applicant shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment, (ii) the Aggregate Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (iii) the Aggregate Core Currency Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Core Currency Commitments.

(c) LC Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date that is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is one Business Day prior to the Maturity Date, provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date that is one Business Day prior to the Maturity Date).

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in each Letter of Credit equal to such Lender's Core Currency Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender's Core Currency Commitment Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank in respect of each such Letter of Credit and not reimbursed by the Parent or the applicable Letter of Credit Applicant on the date due as provided in Section 2.9(e), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Parent or the applicable Letter of Credit Applicant for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this subsection in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or the reduction or termination of the Aggregate Core Currency Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever; provided that no Lender shall be obligated to make any payment to the Administrative Agent for any wrongful LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Issuing Bank.

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit in a Core Currency, the applicable Letter of Credit Applicant shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in the Core Currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit in a Non-Core Currency, the applicable Letter of Credit Applicant shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in Dollars in an amount equal to the Issuing Bank’s all-in cost of funds in Dollars to fund such draft as determined by the Issuing Bank (each a “Dollar Reimbursement Amount”). In connection with each obligation of a Letter of Credit Applicant to pay a Dollar Reimbursement Amount under this Section 2.9(e), the Issuing Bank shall deliver to such Letter of Credit Applicant, the Parent and the Administrative Agent a written statement setting forth such Dollar Reimbursement Amount. The Issuing Bank’s determination of such Dollar Reimbursement Amount shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Letter of Credit Applicant shall reimburse each such LC Disbursement by paying to the Issuing Bank at its Applicable Payment Office an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 4:00 p.m. (local time in the city in which such Applicable Payment Office is located) on the date that such LC

Disbursement is made, if such Letter of Credit Applicant shall have received written notice (by hand delivery or telecopy) of such LC Disbursement prior to 12:00 noon (local time in the city in which such Applicable Payment Office is located) on such date, or if such written notice has not been received by such Letter of Credit Applicant prior to such time on such date, then not later than 4:00 p.m. (local time in the city in which such Applicable Payment Office is located) on the next succeeding Business Day, provided that (A) in addition to such written notice, the officers of the Administrative Agent primarily responsible for the administration of this Agreement shall, promptly after they receive notice that a draft in respect of such LC Disbursement has been presented to the Issuing Bank, use reasonable efforts to notify such Letter of Credit Applicant of such draft by telephone, provided, further, that the failure of such Letter of Credit Applicant to receive any such telephonic notice from the Administrative Agent or any officer thereof shall not in any manner affect such Letter of Credit Applicant’s obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement in accordance with the terms of this Section, and (B) if such LC Disbursement is not less than $1,000,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof), the Parent may, subject to the conditions of borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.3 that such payment be financed with a Revolving Loan or a Swing Line Loan in the applicable Currency (Dollars in the case of a Letter of Credit issued in a Non-Core Currency) in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the applicable Letter of Credit Applicant’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Loan or a Swing Line Loan, as applicable. If the Parent or the applicable Letter of Credit Applicant fails to make such payment under this subsection when due, the Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof and the Administrative Agent shall then notify each applicable Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Parent or the applicable Letter of Credit Applicant in respect thereof and such Lender's Core Currency Commitment Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each applicable Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Core Currency Commitment Percentage of the payment then due from the Parent or such Letter of Credit Applicant, in the applicable Currency (Dollars in the case of a Letter of Credit issued in a Non-Core Currency) and in the same manner as provided in Section 2.3 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.3 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Parent or such Letter of Credit Applicant pursuant to this subsection, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this subsection to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this subsection to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Parent or the applicable Letter of Credit Applicant of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Parent’s and each Letter of Credit Applicant’s obligations to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.9(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein or herein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Parent’s or any Letter of Credit Applicant’s obligations hereunder. Neither any

Credit Party nor any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Parent or a Letter of Credit Applicant to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Parent and each Borrower (including each Letter of Credit Applicant) to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by Parent or any Borrower (including each Letter of Credit Applicant) that are caused by the Issuing Bank's failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

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

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Parent or the applicable Letter of Credit Applicant shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Parent or the applicable Letter of Credit Applicant reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Advances (or in the case of unreimbursed obligations in respect of a Letter of Credit denominated in a Core Currency other than Dollars, the all-in rate determined by Issuing Bank as its cost of funds in the applicable Core Currency plus the Applicable Margin for Core Currency Advances); provided that, if the Parent or such Letter of Credit Applicant fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 2.9(e), then Section 3.1(e) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this subsection shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.9(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

Section 2.10 Borrower Addenda

Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Parent may direct that any of its Subsidiaries (which, in the case of a Core Currency, shall be a wholly-owned Subsidiary) which is not then a Borrower become a Borrower and a Permitted Borrower for certain specified Currencies by submitting a Borrower Addendum to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Subsidiary duly executed by the Parent and such Subsidiary and, if such Subsidiary is an organization organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, a supplement to the Guaranty duly executed by such Subsidiary, together with (a) a certificate, dated the date of such Borrower Addendum of the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of such Subsidiary (i) attaching a true and complete copy of the resolutions of its Board of Directors and of all documents evidencing other necessary corporate action (in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) taken by it to authorize such Borrower Addendum and, if applicable, such supplement to the Guaranty, the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) attaching a true and complete copy of its certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational documents and (iii) setting forth the incumbency of its officer or officers who may sign the Borrower Addendum and, if applicable, such supplement to the Guaranty, including therein a signature specimen of such officer or officers, (b) an opinion of counsel to such Subsidiary in all respects reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (c) a certificate of good standing (or equivalent) issued by the jurisdiction of its incorporation. If any such document is not in English, such document shall be accompanied by a certified English translation thereof. Upon receipt of a Borrower Addendum and the supporting documentation referred to above, the Administrative Agent shall confirm such Borrower Addendum by signing a copy thereof and shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to the Parent and each Lender. Each such Borrower Addendum shall become effective 10 days (or such shorter time as the applicable Lenders may agree) after such Borrower Addendum and supporting documentation have been delivered to each Lender, provided that no such Borrower Addendum shall become effective as to any Lender unless such Lender shall have satisfactorily completed its “know your customer” process and any other legal requirements, and shall have determined that it is not subject to deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Tax. Upon the effectiveness of such Borrower Addendum, the Subsidiary which executed such Borrower Addendum shall become a “Borrower” hereunder and a “Permitted Borrower” hereunder for each such Currency specified in such Borrower Addendum and, if applicable, a “Guarantor”.

Section 2.11 Records

(a) Lender’s Records. Each Lender will note on its internal records with respect to each Loan made by it (i) the date and amount of such Loan, (ii) whether such Loan is a Revolving Loan, Swing Line Loan or Individual Currency Loan, (iii) the identity of the Borrower to whom such Loan was made, (iv) the interest rate (other than in the case of an ABR Advance), Individual Currency Rate and Interest Period, if applicable, applicable to such Loan and (v) each payment and prepayment of the principal thereof.

(b) Administrative Agent’s Records. The Administrative Agent shall keep records regarding the Loans, the Letters of Credit and this Agreement in accordance with its customary procedures for agented credits.

(c) Prima Facie Evidence. The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) above shall, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amount of the obligations of the Parent and each Borrower recorded therein; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, to make any notation on its records shall not affect the Parent’s or the respective Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Loan Documents.

(d) Redenomination and Alternate Currencies. Each obligation under this Agreement of a party to this Agreement which has been denominated in the National Currency Unit of a Subsequent Euro Participant state shall be redenominated into Euros in accordance with EMU Legislation immediately upon such Subsequent Euro Participant becoming a Participating Member State (but otherwise in accordance with EMU Legislation).

Section 2.12 Defaulting Lenders

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:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the Core Currency Commitment and Individual Currency Commitments of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3(a), (b) and (c);

(b) the Core Currency Commitment, the Individual Currency Commitments, the Swing Line Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 11.1); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(i) all or any part of such SL/LC Credit Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Core Currency Commitment Percentages but only to the extent (A) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Core Currency Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders plus, without duplication, the aggregate SL/LC Credit Exposure of such non-Defaulting Lenders does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders and (B) the conditions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 2.1(a) are satisfied at such time; and

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (A) first, prepay such SL/LC Credit Exposure with respect to any existing Swing Line Loan and (B) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s SL/LC Credit Exposure with respect to any existing Letter of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in the same manner as required by Article 9 for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s SL/LC Credit Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.12(c), the Parent shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s SL/LC Credit Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s SL/LC Credit Exposure is cash collateralized; or

(iv) if the SL/LC Credit Exposure of a non-Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant this Section 2.12(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.3(a) and Section 3.3(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders Core Currency Commitment Percentages;

The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of any reallocation described in this Section 2.12(c).

(d) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend, extend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Core Currency Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Parent or the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.12(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swing Line Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.12(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and

(e) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder by (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.5(h) but excluding Section 3.8) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a separate account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender hereunder, (iii) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any existing or future participating interest in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit, (iv) fourth, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (v) fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Parent, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any Loans under this Agreement, (vi) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (vii) seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to any 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 (viii) eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or reimbursement obligations in respect of LC Disbursements which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Article 6 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and reimbursement obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or reimbursement obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE 3. INTEREST, FEES, YIELD PROTECTIONS, ETC.

Section 3.1 Interest

(a) Each Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each ABR Advance made to such Borrower from the date thereof until the conversion or maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such ABR Advance, at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time.

(b) Each Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Core Currency Advance made to such Borrower from the date thereof until the conversion or maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Core Currency Advance, at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Core Currency Rate for such Interest Period.

(c) Each Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Individual Currency Loan made to such Borrower from the date thereof until the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Individual Currency Loan at a rate per annum which shall, during the Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Individual Currency Rate for such Interest Period.

(d) Each Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Swing Line Negotiated Rate Advance made to such Borrower from the date thereof until the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Swing Line Negotiated Rate Advance at a rate per annum which shall, during the Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the Swing Line Negotiated Rate for such Interest Period.

(e) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Loan shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate applicable to such Loan (or in the case of an Alternate Core Currency Swing Line Loan, an Individual Currency Loan, a Letter of Credit denominated in a Core Currency other than Dollars, 2% plus the Applicable Margin applicable to Core Currency Advances plus the all-in rate determined by the applicable Lender, Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, as its cost of funds in the applicable Currency), in each case until paid in full (whether before or after the entry of a judgment thereon). If all or any portion of any LC Disbursements in respect of a Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars or in a Non-Core Currency shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity thereof, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the Applicable Margin applicable to ABR Advances plus the Alternate Base Rate, from the date of such nonpayment until paid in full (whether before or after the entry of a judgment thereon). Any other overdue amount payable hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the Applicable Margin applicable to ABR Advances plus the Alternate Base Rate until paid in full (whether before or after the entry of a judgment thereon). All such interest shall be payable on demand.

(f) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each ABR Advance constituting a Revolving Loan, quarterly in arrears on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, (ii) in respect of each Core Currency Advance and Individual Currency Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, (iii) in respect of each Swing Line Negotiated Rate Advance and ABR Advance made as a Swing Line Loan, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (iv) in respect of each Loan, on any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

(g) The Administrative Agent shall determine the respective interest rate for each Interest Period applicable to a Core Currency Advance for which such determination is being made and shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the Lenders thereof.

(h) Interest on all Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed, provided that interest on ABR Advances, to the extent based on the BNY Mellon Rate, interest on Core Currency Advances in Pounds Sterling and interest on Individual Currency Loans denominated in Hong Kong Dollars, Korean Won and New Taiwan Dollars shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 or 366-day year (as the case may be). Any change in the interest rate on the Loans resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate or the Federal Funds Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change shall become effective. Each determination of (i) the Alternate Base Rate or a Core Currency Rate by the Administrative Agent, (ii) an Individual Currency Rate by the applicable Lender, and (iii) an all-in cost of funds rate or any rate based thereon by the Administrative Agent or the Reference Lender, or such applicable Lender, as the case may be, in each case pursuant to this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto absent manifest error. The Borrowers acknowledge that to the extent interest payable on ABR Advances is based on the BNY Mellon Rate, the BNY Mellon Rate is only one of the bases for computing interest on loans made by the Lenders, and by basing interest payable on ABR Advances on the BNY Mellon Rate, the Lenders have not committed to charge, and the Borrowers have not in any way bargained for, interest based on a lower or the lowest rate at which the Lenders may now or in the future make loans to other borrowers.

(i) If the Reference Lender shall for any reason no longer be a Lender, it shall thereupon cease to be the Reference Lender. The Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders, designate another Lender as the Reference Lender so that at all times there shall be a Reference Lender. The Reference Lender shall use its best efforts to furnish quotations of rates to the Administrative Agent on a timely basis as contemplated hereby.

(j) In the event that any Credit Party shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that it shall have incurred Additional Costs or Associated Costs in connection with any Loans made by such Lender, the applicable Borrower agrees, within five Business Days of request by such Lender, to pay to such Lender the amount of such Additional Costs or Associated Costs.

(k) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “maximum rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all of the charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the maximum rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and the charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this subsection shall be cumulated, and the interest and the charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the maximum rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 3.2 Conversions

(a) Each applicable Borrower shall have the option to convert on any Business Day all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of ABR Advances (other than ABR Advances constituting Swing Line Loans) or Core Currency Advances into (i) in the case of an ABR Advance, one or more Core Currency Advances in Dollars, (ii) in the case of a Core Currency Advances in Dollars, one or more ABR Advances or one or more new Core Currency Advances in Dollars and (iii) in the case of a Core Currency Advance, one or more new Core Currency Advances of the same Core Currency, provided that (A) except as otherwise provided in Section 3.4(b), Core Currency Advances may be converted into new Core Currency Advances or ABR Advances only on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to the Core Currency Advances being converted, (B) the outstanding principal amount of the new Core Currency Advances having the same Interest Period shall be in an amount equal to $500,000 or such amount plus a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or an amount in the applicable Alternate Currency having a Dollar Equivalent of approximately $500,000 or such amount plus a whole multiple of approximately $100,000 in excess thereof), (C) the outstanding principal amount of the new ABR Advances shall be in an amount equal to $500,000 or such amount plus a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, (D) ABR Advances or Core Currency Advances in Dollars may not be converted into Core Currency Advances in Dollars if any Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion and the Required Lenders

(b) Each such conversion shall be effected by the applicable Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent, at its office set forth in Section 11.2, at least three Business Days prior written notice (each a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying the ABR Advances or the Core Currency Advances to be so converted, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and, if to be converted into Core Currency Advances, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Loans.

(c) If with respect to the expiration of an existing Interest Period for a Core Currency Advance the applicable Borrower has failed to deliver a Notice of Conversion with respect thereto, such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected (i) if a Core Currency Advance in Dollars, to convert such Core Currency Advance to an ABR Advance and (ii) if a Core Currency Advance other than in Dollars, to convert such Core Currency Advance to a new Core Currency Advance with a one month Interest Period, in either case effective as of the expiration date of such existing Interest Period.

Section 3.3 Fees

(a) Facility Fee. The Parent agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on the daily amount of the sum of the Core Currency Commitment and Individual Currency Commitments of such Lender (regardless of usage) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Core Currency Commitment and Individual Currency Commitments terminate; provided that, if such Lender continues to have any Credit Exposure after its Core Currency Commitment and Individual Currency Commitments terminate, then such Facility Fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender’s Credit Exposure from and including the date on which such Lender’s Core Currency Commitment and Individual Currency Commitments terminate to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Credit Exposure. Accrued Facility Fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, each date on which the Aggregate Core Currency Commitments or the Aggregate Individual Currency Commitments are permanently reduced and on the date on which the Aggregate Core Currency Commitments or the Aggregate Individual Currency Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, provided that all unpaid Facility Fees shall be payable on the date on which the Aggregate Core Currency Commitments and the Aggregate Individual Currency Commitments terminate. All Facility Fees shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Parent agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, a participation fee (“Letter of Credit Fees”) with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Core Currency Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to the Issuing Bank for its own account a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between the Parent and the Issuing Bank on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Aggregate Core Currency Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Accrued Letter of Credit Fees and fronting fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Aggregate Core Currency Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Aggregate Core Currency Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this subsection shall be payable within ten days after demand. All Letter of Credit Fees and fronting fees shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) Other Fees. The Parent agrees to pay to each Credit Party, for its own account, fees and other amounts payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Parent and such Credit Party.

Section 3.4 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.

(a) In the event that any Credit Party with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) below or the Administrative Agent, the Reference Lender, or the applicable Credit Party, as the case may be, with respect to clauses (i) and (iv) below shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

(i) on the Business Day on which the applicable Core Currency Rate or Individual Currency Rate is determined with respect to any requested Core Currency Advance or Individual Currency Loan that, by reason of any changes arising after the Effective Date affecting the applicable interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of the Core Currency Rate or the Individual Currency Rate, as the case may be; or

(ii) at any time that such Credit Party has incurred increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Loan, any Letter of Credit or any participation therein, or any of its other obligations under this Agreement, in each case by an amount such Credit Party deems to be material, because of any change (except any change in the list of Non-Cooperative Jurisdictions referred to in Article 238-0 A of the French tax code (Code général des impôts)) since the Effective Date, in any treaty, law, rule, regulation, order or guideline applicable to such Credit Party or the compliance by such Credit Party with any request (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Effective Date or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new treaty, law, rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, for example, but not limited to: (A) a change that subjects any Credit Party to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes, a Tax on Income and Taxes described in Section 3.6(d)) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or (B) a change in official reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve)

or similar requirements, or in any special deposit, assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Credit Party (or its Applicable Lending Office)(in each case, except to the extent included in Additional Costs, Associated Costs or the computation of the respective Core Currency Rate, Swing Line Negotiated Rate, Individual Currency Rate, Alternate Base Rate or Negotiated Rate, as the case may be)(each a “Regulatory Increased Cost Change”, provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case, pursuant to Basel III, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), shall be deemed to be a “Regulatory Increased Cost Change”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, but only if any such requirements are generally applicable to (and for which reimbursement is generally being sought by the Lenders in respect of) credit transactions similar to this transaction from similarly situated borrowers (which are parties to credit or loan documentation containing a provision similar to this definition), as determined by the Lenders in their respective reasonable discretion); or

(iii) at any time that the making or continuance of any Fixed Rate Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law, rule, regulation or order or (y) impossible by compliance by any Credit Party in good faith with any governmental directive or request (whether or not having the force of law); or

(iv) at any time that any Core Currency (other than Dollars) or any Non-Core Currency, as the case may be, is not available (x) in the case of any such Core Currency, in sufficient amounts in the applicable jurisdiction designated by each Credit Party in which such Core Currency is to made available by such Credit Party to the applicable Borrower, as determined in good faith by the Reference Lender, or (y) in the case of any such Non-Core Currency, in sufficient amounts in the applicable financial center designated by each applicable Credit Party in the jurisdiction in which such Non-Core Currency is to made available by such Credit Party to the applicable Borrower, as determined in good faith by such Credit Party, to fund any borrowing of Alternate Currency Loans in such Core Currency or such Non-Core Currency, as the case may be;

then, and in any such event, such Credit Party, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, or the Administrative Agent, the Reference Lender or the applicable Credit Party, as the case may be, in the case of clause (i) or (iv) above, shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Parent (on behalf of all Borrowers) and, except for the Administrative Agent, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Credit Parties). Thereafter (w) in the case of clause (i) above, (A) in the event that Core Currency Advances or Individual Currency Loans are so affected, Core Currency Advances or Individual Currency Loans from such applicable Credit Party, as the case may be, shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent, the Reference Lender or such applicable Credit Party, as the case may be, notifies the Parent and the Credit Parties that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent, the Reference Lender or such applicable Credit Party, as the case may be, no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion given by any Borrower with respect to Core Currency Advances or Individual Currency Loans to be made by such applicable Credit Party, as the case may be, which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the applicable Borrower and (B) in the event that any Core Currency Advance or Individual Currency Loan is so affected, the interest rate for such Core Currency Advance or such Individual Currency Loan, as the case may be, shall be determined on the basis provided in the proviso to the definition of Core Currency Rate or Individual Currency Rate, as the case may be, (x) in the case of clause (ii) above, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Credit Party, within 3 days of written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Credit Party in its reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Credit Party for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Credit Party, showing the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to such applicable Borrower by such Credit Party in good faith shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto), (y) in the case of clause (iii) above, the applicable Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 3.4(b) and (z) in the case of clause (iv) above, Core Currency Advances in the affected Core Currency or Individual Currency Loans from the applicable Credit Party in the affected Non-Core Currency, as the case may be, shall no longer be available until such time as the Reference Lender or such applicable Credit Party, as the case may be, notifies the Parent (on behalf of all Borrowers), the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties that the circumstances giving rise to the notice referred to above by the Reference Lender or such applicable Credit Party, as the case may be, to the Parent (on behalf of all Borrowers) and the Administrative Agent no longer exists, and any Notice of Borrowing given by the affected Borrower with respect to such Core Currency Advances or such Individual Currency Loans, as the case may be, which have not yet been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by such affected Borrower. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Reference Lender and the Credit Parties agree that if it gives notice to any Borrower of any of the events described in clause (i), (iii) or (iv) above, it shall promptly notify the Parent (on behalf of all Borrowers) and, in the case of any such Credit Party and the Reference Lender, the Administrative Agent, if such event ceases to exist. If any such event described in clause (iii) above with respect to Core Currency Advances or Individual Currency Loans ceases to exist as to a Credit Party, the obligations of such Credit Party, as the case may be, to make Core Currency Advances or Individual Currency Loans and to convert Core Currency Advances to new Core Currency Advances on the terms and conditions contained herein shall be reinstated.

(b) At any time that any Fixed Rate Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 3.4(a)(ii) or (iii), the applicable Borrower may (and in the case of an affected Fixed Rate Loan by the circumstances described in Section 3.4(a)(iii) shall) either (x) if the affected Fixed Rate Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel the respective borrowing or conversion by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that the Parent was notified by the affected Credit Party or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.4(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected Fixed Rate Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent and the affected Credit Party, (A) in the case of a Core Currency Advance in Dollars, require the affected Credit Party to convert such Core Currency Advance into an ABR Advance as of the end of the Interest Period then applicable to such Core Currency Advance or, if earlier, as soon as practicable within the time required by law and (B) in the case of a Core Currency Advance other than in Dollars, Swing Line Negotiated Rate Advance or Individual Currency Loan, take such action as the affected Credit Party may reasonably request with a view to minimizing the obligations of such Borrower under Section 3.5.

(c) If any Credit Party determines that after the Effective Date the introduction of or any change in any applicable treaty, law, rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or compliance by such Credit Party or any corporation controlling such Credit Party with any request (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority concerning capital or liquidity requirements, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, in each case made subsequent to the date hereof, will have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital required to be maintained by such Credit Party or any corporation controlling such Credit Party as a consequence of this Agreement, the Core Currency Commitment or Individual Currency Commitments of such Credit Party, the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans held by such Credit Party, the Letters of Credit issued by such Credit Party or the obligations of such Credit Party under the Loan Documents (including the obligation to make or participate in a Letter of Credit) to a level below that which

such Credit Party or such corporation could have achieved but for such application or compliance (taking into account such Credit Party’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Credit Party to be material (each a “Regulatory Capital Change”, provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case, pursuant to Basel III, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), shall be deemed to be a “Regulatory Capital Change”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, but only if any such requirements are generally applicable to (and for which reimbursement is generally being sought by the Lenders in respect of) credit transactions similar to this transaction from similarly situated borrowers (which are parties to credit or loan documentation containing a provision similar to this definition), as determined by the Lenders in their respective reasonable discretion), then each of the Borrowers to the extent of its Proportionate Share and the Parent severally agrees to pay such to such Credit Party, within 3 Business Days of its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Credit Party or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Credit Party or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Credit Party or such other corporation as a result of such reduction. In determining such additional amounts, each Credit Party will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such Credit Party’s reasonable good faith determination of compensation owing under this Section 3.4(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Credit Party, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.4(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Parent (on behalf of all Borrowers), which notice shall show the basis for calculation of such additional amounts.

(d) Each Credit Party shall notify the Parent (on behalf of all Borrowers) of any event occurring after the Effective Date entitling such Credit Party to compensation under this Section 3.4 as promptly as practicable, but in any event within 120 days after the officer having primary responsibility for this Agreement obtains actual knowledge thereof, provided that no such notice shall be required if such Credit Party has determined not to seek compensation under this Section 3.4 as a result of such event. Each Credit Party will furnish to the Parent (on behalf of all Borrowers) a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such Credit Party for compensation under this Section 3.4. Determinations and allocations by any Credit Party for purposes of this Section 3.4 on its costs or rate of return of maintaining Loans or its obligation to make Loans, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the amounts required to compensate such Credit Party under this Section 3.4 shall be prima facie evidence of such determinations and allocations.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Credit Party shall be entitled to any compensation described in this Section 3.4 unless, at the time it requests such compensation, it is the policy or general practice of such Credit Party to request compensation for comparable costs in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements for comparable customers unless specific facts or circumstances applicable to any Borrower or the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents would alter such policy or general practice, provided that nothing in this Section 3.4(e) shall preclude a Credit Party from waiving the collection of similar costs from one or more of its other customers.

(f) If any Credit Party fails to give the notice described in Section 3.4(d) within 90 days after it obtains such actual knowledge of the event required to be described in such notice, such Credit Party shall, with respect to any compensation that would otherwise be owing to such Credit Party under this Section 3.4, only be entitled to payment for increased costs incurred from and after the date that such Credit Party does give such notice.

Section 3.5 Compensation

Each Borrower shall compensate each Lender, within 3 days of its written demand therefor (which demand shall set forth the basis for requesting such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities, including any loss, expense or liability (including those related to currency exchange) incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Fixed Rate Loans but excluding any loss of anticipated profit which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason, a borrowing of, or conversion from or into a Fixed Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion; (ii) if any repayment (including any repayment made pursuant to Section 2.8 or 3.8(b) or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Article 9) or conversion of any of such Borrower’s Fixed Rate Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of such Borrower’s Fixed Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by such Borrower; (iv) the assignment of any Fixed Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period or maturity date applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Parent pursuant to Section 3.8(a) or (v) as a consequence of (x) any other default by such Borrower to repay its Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or (y) any election made pursuant to or event described in Section 2.7(c), 2.7(d), 3.4(b) or 3.9.

Section 3.6 Taxes

(a) Payments to Be Free and Clear. All payments by each Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding for, any Indemnified Tax. If any Loan Party or any other Person is required by any treaty, law, rule, regulation, order, directive or guideline to make any deduction or withholding (which deduction or withholding would constitute an Indemnified Tax) from any amount required to be paid by any Loan Party to or on behalf of any Indemnified Tax Person under any Loan Document (each a “Required Payment”):

(i) such Loan Party shall notify the Administrative Agent and such Indemnified Tax Person of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as such Loan Party becomes aware of it;

(ii) such Loan Party shall pay such Indemnified Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on such Loan Party) for its own account or (if the liability is imposed on such Indemnified Tax Person) on behalf of and in the name of such Indemnified Tax Person;

(iii) such Loan Party shall pay to such Indemnified Tax Person an additional amount such that such Indemnified Tax Person shall receive on the due date therefor an amount equal to the Required Payment had no such deduction or withholding been required; and

(iv) such Loan Party shall, within 30 days after paying such Indemnified Tax, deliver to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Indemnified Tax Person satisfactory evidence of such payment to the relevant Governmental Authority.

(b) Other Indemnified Taxes. If an Indemnified Tax Person or any affiliate thereof is required by any treaty, law, rule, regulation, order, directive or guideline to pay any Indemnified Tax (excluding an Indemnified Tax which is subject to Section 3.6(a)) with respect to any sum paid or payable by such Indemnified Tax Person or by any Loan Party to such Indemnified Tax Person under the Loan Documents:

(i) such Indemnified Tax Person shall notify such Loan Party of any such payment of Indemnified Tax; and

(ii) such Loan Party shall pay to such Indemnified Tax Person the amount of such Indemnified Tax within 5 days of such notice.

(c) Tax on Indemnified Taxes. If any amounts are payable by a Loan Party in respect of Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 3.6(a) or (b), such Loan Party agrees to pay to the applicable Indemnified Tax Person, within 5 Business Days of written request therefor, an amount equal to all Taxes imposed with respect to such amounts as such Indemnified Tax Person shall determine in good faith are payable by such Indemnified Tax Person or any affiliate thereof in respect of such amounts and in respect of any amounts paid to or on behalf of such Indemnified Tax Person pursuant to this subsection (c).

(d) Exception for Existing Taxes. No amount shall be required to be paid to any Indemnified Tax Person under Section 3.6(a)(iii) or (b) with respect to an Indemnified Tax to the extent that (i) such Indemnified Tax would have been required to have been paid under any treaty, law, rule, regulation, order, directive or guideline in effect on the Effective Date or, (ii) as regards payments made under this Agreement by or on account of a French Borrower, such Indemnified Tax is required to be paid because a payment is either made to an account opened with a financial institution situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction or is not treated as a deductible charge or expense for French tax purposes for the relevant French Borrower by reason of that amount being paid or accrued to a Lender incorporated, domiciled, established or acting through an office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction or paid to an account opened with a financial institution situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction.

(e) U.S. Tax Certificates. Each 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 Parent and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Parent or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Parent 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 the Parent or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Parent or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Parent 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 the documentation set forth below in this Section 3.6(e) and Section 3.6(h)) 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. Each Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Parent 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 the Parent or the Administrative Agent) executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. Each Lender that is not a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Parent 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 the Parent or the Administrative Agent), such certificates, documents or other evidence, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender (including, without limitation, Internal Revenue Service Form W8-BEN or Form W8-ECI) to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax under Section 1441, 1442 or 3406 of the Code or otherwise (or under any comparable provisions of any successor statute) with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under the Loan Documents. No Loan Party shall be required to pay any additional amount to any such Lender under Section 3.6(a)(iii) if such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence; provided that if such Lender shall have satisfied such requirements on the Effective Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof) or on the effective date of the Assignment and Assumption or master assignment and assumption agreement pursuant to which it became a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), nothing in this subsection shall relieve any Loan Party of its obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant to Section 3.6(a)(iii) in the event that, as a result of any change in applicable law (including, without limitation, any change in the interpretation thereof), such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver certificates, documents or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding as described in the immediately preceding sentence.

(f) Other Tax Certificates. Each Indemnified Tax Person agrees to use reasonable efforts to deliver to the Administrative Agent and any Loan Party, promptly upon any request therefor from time to time by the Administrative Agent or such Loan Party, such forms, documents and information as may be required by applicable treaty, law or regulation from time to time and to file all appropriate forms to obtain a certificate or other appropriate documents from the appropriate Governmental Authorities to establish that payments made in respect of any Alternate Currency Loan or Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency by such Loan Party can be made without (or at a reduced rate of) withholding of Taxes, provided that if such Indemnified Tax Person is or becomes unable by virtue of any applicable treaty, law or regulation, to establish such exemption or reduction, such Loan Party shall nonetheless remain obligated under Subsection 3.6(a) to pay the amounts described therein, and provided further, that no Indemnified Tax Person shall be required to take any action hereunder which, in the sole discretion of such Indemnified Tax Person, would cause such Indemnified Tax Person or any affiliate thereof to suffer a material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage.

(g) Adverse Tax Position.

(i) An “Excess Tax” shall be the excess of (x) the Tax imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority (other than the United States or any State thereof) from which a payment is made by or on behalf of a Loan Party subject to an Adverse Tax Position or in which such Loan Party or an affiliate has an office or is deemed to be doing business, over (y) the Tax which would be imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by such Governmental Authority, but for the existence of such Adverse Tax Position.

(ii) An “Adverse Tax Position” with respect to a Loan Party shall mean a position resulting from the lack of adequate capitalization or other similar condition with respect to such Loan Party which, under applicable treaty or law, results in higher Taxes on payments under the Loan Documents than would otherwise be imposed.

(iii) All payments by each Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding for, any Excess Tax. If any Loan Party or any other Person is required by any treaty, law, rule, regulation, order, directive or guideline to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Tax from any Required Payment with respect to any Indemnified Tax Person and if all or a portion of such Tax represents Excess Tax:

(A) such Loan Party shall notify the Administrative Agent and such Indemnified Tax Person of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as such Loan Party becomes aware of it;

(B) such Loan Party shall pay such Excess Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on such Loan Party) for its own account or (if the liability is imposed on such Indemnified Tax Person) on behalf of and in the name of such Indemnified Tax Person;

(C) such Loan Party shall pay to such Indemnified Tax Person an additional amount such that such Indemnified Tax Person shall receive on the due date therefor an amount equal to the Required Payment had no such deduction or withholding been required with respect to such Excess Tax; and

(D) such Loan Party shall, within 30 days after paying such Excess Tax, deliver to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Indemnified Tax Person satisfactory evidence of such payment to the relevant Governmental Authority.

(iv) If an Indemnified Tax Person or any affiliate thereof is required by any treaty, law, rule, regulation, order, directive or guideline to pay any Excess Tax (excluding Excess Tax which is subject to Section 3.6(g)(iii)) with respect to any sum paid or payable by any Loan Party to such Indemnified Tax Person under the Loan Documents:

(A) such Indemnified Tax Person shall notify such Loan Party of any such payment of Excess Tax; and

(B) such Loan Party shall pay to such Indemnified Tax Person the amount of such Excess Tax within 5 Business Days of such notice.

(v) If any amounts are payable by a Loan Party in respect of Excess Tax pursuant to Section 3.6(g)(iii) or (iv) such Loan Party agrees to pay to the applicable Indemnified Tax Person, within 5 days of written request therefor, an amount equal to all Taxes imposed with respect to such amounts as such Indemnified Tax Person shall determine are payable by such Indemnified Tax Person or any affiliate thereof in respect of such amounts and in respect of any amounts paid to or on behalf of such Indemnified Tax Person pursuant to this clause (v).

(h) FATCA. 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 Code, as applicable), to the extent reasonably possible, such Lender shall deliver to the Parent and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Parent or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Parent or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Parent (or any other Loan Party) and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and 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 purposes of this subsection (h), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(i) Cooperation. Each Loan Party agrees, upon the request of any Credit Party, promptly to execute, deliver and complete such forms, certificates and other documents, make such filings and otherwise cooperate with such Credit Party, in each case as such Credit Party may reasonably request from time to time, in order for such Credit Party to establish that such Credit Party is not subject to, or is entitled to a reduction in the amount of or exemption from, any deduction, withholding or other Taxes with respect to any payments to such Credit Party for principal, interest, fees or other amounts under the Loan Documents, including United Kingdom HM Revenue & Customs’ Form DTTP2.

Section 3.7 Change of Applicable Lending Office and Applicable Payment Office

(a) With respect to any Loan of any Lender or any Letter of Credit, such Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise with respect to such Loan or such Letter of Credit to the operation of Section 3.4(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 3.4(c), Section 3.4(d), Section 3.6, or any amount payable by or on account of a French Borrower is not, or will not be (when the relevant corporate income tax is calculated), treated as a deductible charge or expense for French tax purposes for the relevant French Borrower by reason of that amount being (i) paid or accrued to a Lender incorporated, domiciled, established or acting through an office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction or (ii) paid to an account opened with a financial institution situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction, it will, if requested by the applicable Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another Applicable Lending Office or Applicable Payment Office, as the case may be, for such Loan or such Letter of Credit affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its Applicable Lending Office or Applicable Payment Office, as the case may be, suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6.

(b) Each Lender shall have the right at any time and from time to time to transfer any of its Loans to a different office, provided that such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Parent (on behalf of all Borrowers) of any such change of office. Such office shall thereupon become such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office for such Loan, provided that no such Lender shall be entitled to receive any greater amount under Section 3.4(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 3.4(c) or Section 3.6 as a result of a transfer of any such Loans to a different office of such Lender than it would be entitled to immediately prior thereto unless such claim would have arisen even if such transfer had not occurred. Notwithstanding the above, if the applicable Borrower is a French Borrower, no transfer of Loan may be effected to an office situated in (i) a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction or (ii) a jurisdiction that has not committed to, or not substantially implemented, the internationally agreed standard according to the “grey” and “black” last list published by the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) at the time of the transfer, without the prior consent of Parent.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, any Lender may cause any Alternate Currency Loan to be made by any branch, affiliate or international banking facility of such Lender, provided that such Lender shall remain responsible for all of its obligations hereunder and no additional taxes, costs or other burdens shall be imposed upon any Borrower or the Administrative Agent as a result thereof.

Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumptions and the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (I) and (II) of this Section 3.8(a), the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 11.3), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender.

(b) If any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, the Parent shall have the right, if no Default or Event of Default shall exist, to remove one such Lender (the “Removed Lender”), provided that (I) at the time of removal pursuant to this Section, the Borrowers shall pay to (w) the Removed Lender an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Removed Lender, (B) an amount equal to all drawings on all Letters of Credit that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) the Removed Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, fees owing to the Removed Lender pursuant to Section 3.3, (x) the Issuing Bank an amount equal to the Removed Lender’s Core Currency Commitment Percentage of all drawings (which at such time remains an unpaid drawing) to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by the Removed Lender, (y) the Swing Line Lender an amount equal to the Removed Lender’s Core Currency Commitment Percentage of any Mandatory Borrowing to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by the Removed Lender and (z) the Administrative Agent an amount equal to all amounts owed by the Removed Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, including, without limitation, an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Removed Lender, a corresponding amount of which was made available by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Borrower(s) pursuant to Section 2.4(c) and which has not been repaid to the Administrative Agent by the Removed Lender or the applicable Borrower(s) and (II) all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the Removed Lender under the Loan Documents (other than those specifically described in clause (I) above which have been, or are concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full to the Removed Lender concurrently with such removal. Upon the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (I) and (II) of this Section 3.8(b), (x) the Removed Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 11.3), which shall survive as to the Removed Lender, (y) the Core Currency Commitment and Individual Currency Commitments of the Removed Lender shall automatically terminate, and (z) the Core Currency Commitment Percentages and the Aggregate Commitment Percentage of the Lenders shall be automatically adjusted at such time to give effect to such removal.

No consent or approval of, or other action by, shareholders of the Parent, any Borrower, any Governmental Authority or any other Person, which has not already been obtained, is required to authorize in respect of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Parent and each of its Subsidiaries of, the Loan Documents to which it is a party, or is required as a condition to the enforceability against the Parent or such Subsidiary of the Loan Documents to which it is a party.

Section 4.4 Binding Agreement

Section 4.5 Litigation

(a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Parent and the Borrowers, threatened against or affecting the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that, if adversely determined (and there exists a reasonable possibility of such adverse determination), could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse effect. There are no proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Parent and the Borrowers, threatened against the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (a) which call into question the validity or enforceability of, or otherwise seek to invalidate any Loan Document, or (b) which might, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect any of the transactions contemplated by any Loan Document.

Each of the Parent and its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns, and has paid, or has made adequate provision for the payment of, all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or in any assessments made against them, the failure of which to file or pay could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect, and no tax Liens have been filed against the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries and no claims are being asserted with respect to such taxes which are required by GAAP (as in effect on the Agreement Date) to be reflected in the Financial Statements and are not so reflected therein. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Parent and each of its Subsidiaries with respect to all Federal, state, local, foreign and other taxes are considered by the management of the Parent and the Borrowers to be adequate, and neither the Parent nor any Borrower knows of any unpaid assessment which is or might be due and payable against it or any of its Subsidiaries or any Property of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, except such thereof as are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted, and for which adequate reserves have been set aside in accordance with GAAP.

Section 4.8 Compliance with Applicable Laws; Filings

All leases of Property to each of the Parent and each of its Subsidiaries are in full force and effect, the Parent or such Subsidiary enjoys quiet and undisturbed possession under all leases of real property and neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default beyond any applicable grace period of any provision thereof, the effect of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect.

Section 4.11 Federal Reserve Regulations; Use of Loan Proceeds

Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of the Loans or any Letter of Credit will be used, directly or indirectly, for a purpose which violates the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as amended. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in violation of any limitation or prohibition provided by any applicable law, regulation or statute, including Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

No representation or warranty contained in any Loan Document and no certificate, Financial Statement, other financial statement or written notice furnished or to be furnished by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, contains or will contain, as of its date, a misstatement of material fact, or omits or will omit to state, as of its date, a material fact required to be stated in order to make the statements therein contained not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Parent nor any Borrower makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any forecast or projection furnished to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, except that such forecast or projection was prepared in good faith and based on assumptions which the Parent considered reasonable under the circumstances at the time of the preparation and delivery thereof.

Section 4.13 ERISA

(a) Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other applicable Federal or state laws. Each Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service or an application for such a letter is currently being processed by the Internal Revenue Service with respect thereto and, to the best knowledge of the Parent, nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification, except where the failure to so qualify could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect. The Parent and each ERISA Affiliate have made all required contributions to each Plan subject to Section 430 of the Code within the statutory deadline, and no application for a funding waiver pursuant to Section 430 of the Code has been made with respect to any Plan except for those that could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect.

(c) All contributions required to be made with respect to each Foreign Pension Plan have been timely made. Each Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained in material compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable Governmental Authorities. Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any material obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Pension Plan. The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Pension Plan required to be funded, determined as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal year on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed the current value of the assets of such Foreign Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities by an amount that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect.

Section 4.14 Financial Statements

The Parent has heretofore delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders copies of its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011, containing the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as of such date and the related Consolidated Statements of Income, Stockholders’ Equity and Cash Flows for the fiscal year then ended (collectively, with the applicable related notes and schedules, the “Financial Statements”). The Financial Statements fairly present the Consolidated financial condition and results of the operations of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as of the dates and for the periods indicated therein and have been prepared in conformity with GAAP as then in effect subject, in the case of interim Financial Statements, to normal year-end adjustments. Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has any obligation or liability of any kind (whether fixed, accrued, contingent, unmatured or otherwise) which, in accordance with GAAP as then in effect, should have been disclosed in the Financial Statements and was not. Since January 31, 2011, there has been no Material Adverse change.

Section 4.15 Franchises, Intellectual Property, Etc.

Each of the Parent and each of its Subsidiaries possesses or has the right to use all franchises, Intellectual Property, licenses and other rights as are material and necessary for the conduct of its business, and with respect to which it is in compliance, with no known conflict with the valid rights of others which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect. No event has occurred which permits or, to the best knowledge of the Parent and the Borrowers, after notice or the lapse of time or both, or any other condition, could reasonably be expected to permit, the revocation or termination of any such franchise, Intellectual Property, license or other right which revocation or termination could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect.

Section 4.16 Labor Relations

There are no material controversies pending between the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries and any of their respective employees, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect.

Section 4.17 OFAC

Neither any Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries (a) is a Person whose property or interest in property is blocked or currently subject to blocking pursuant to Section 1 of Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001 Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism (66 Fed.

ARTICLE 10. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

(a) Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably appoints The Bank of New York Mellon to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties and neither the Borrowers nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

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

(c) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Credit Parties as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.1 hereof or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, and (iii) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Parent, any of its Subsidiaries or any other Loan Party or any Affiliate that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 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 Credit Parties as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.1) 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 unless and until written notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Parent (on behalf of the Borrowers) or a Credit Party, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness hereof, or of any other agreement, instrument or other document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 5 or 6 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

(d) 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 or sent 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 be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent public accounting firm 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, accounting firm or experts.

(e) The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent, provided that each such sub-agent shall not be incorporated, domiciled, established or acting through an office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction and shall agree to be bound by Section 11.14 and no such delegation shall serve as a release of the Administrative Agent or waiver by the Parent or any other Borrower of any rights hereunder. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties that are not incorporated, domiciled, established or acting through an office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

(f) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Credit Parties and the Parent (on behalf of the Borrowers). The Parent may also, at any time, give notice that the Administrative Agent shall resign if any amount payable by or on account of a French Borrower is not, or will not be (when the relevant corporate income tax is calculated), treated as a deductible charge or expense for French tax purposes for the relevant French Borrower by reason of that amount being (i) paid or accrued to an Administrative Agent, sub-agent or their related Parties incorporated, domiciled, established or acting through an office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction or (ii) paid to an account opened with a financial institution situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Parent, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York, New York, and shall not be incorporated, domiciled, established or acting through an office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction. If no 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, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Credit Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York, New York, provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Credit Parties and the Parent that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Credit Party and the Parent directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Parent to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Parent and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

(g) Each Credit Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party 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 Credit Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party 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 or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(h) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Joint Book Runners, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Co-Syndication Agents or the Co-Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder.

ARTICLE 11. OTHER PROVISIONS

Section 11.1 Amendments and Waivers

(a) No failure or delay by any Credit Party in exercising any right or power under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 11.1(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan and/or the issuance, amendment, extension or renewal of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither any Loan Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Parent, the other applicable Loan Parties and the Required Lenders or by the Parent, the other applicable Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders, provided that no such agreement shall:

(i) increase the Core Currency Commitment or Individual Currency Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (except pursuant to a reallocation of one or more Individual Currency Commitments of such Lender to its Core Currency Commitment pursuant to Section 2.7(d)) or increase the Letter of Credit Commitment without the written consent of the Issuing Bank,

(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or any reimbursement obligation with respect to a LC Disbursement, or reduce the rate of any interest, or reduce any fees, payable under the Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Credit Party affected thereby (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to the calculation of any financial covenant shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for the purposes of this clause (ii), notwithstanding the fact that such amendment or modification actually results in such a reduction),

(iii) postpone the date of payment at stated maturity of any Loan or the date of payment of any reimbursement obligation with respect to an LC Disbursement, any interest or any fees payable under the Loan Documents, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the stated termination or expiration of the Aggregate Core Currency Commitments, any Individual Currency Commitment, the Swing Line Commitment or the Letter of Credit Commitment or reduce the amount of or postpone the date of any prepayment required by Section 2.8(b) without the written consent of each Credit Party affected thereby,

(iv) change any provision hereof in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required by Section 2.5(h), without the written consent of each Credit Party affected thereby,

(v) change any of the provisions of this Section, the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, change the definition of “Core Currencies” so as to add any additional currency as a Core Currency or increase the Aggregate Commitments to an amount in excess of $275,000,000, without the written consent of each Lender,

(vi) release the Parent or any Guarantor from its guaranty under the Guaranty (except as expressly provided therein), or limit its liability in respect of such Guaranty, without the written consent of each Lender, or

(vii) amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable.

The Administrative Agent or the Parent (on behalf of the Borrowers) 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 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.

(b) Each of the Borrowers to the extent of its Proportionate Share and the Parent shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Credit Party and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party, the Parent, any Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds thereof including any refusal of the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any Property owned or operated by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c) To the extent that any Borrower or the Parent for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender under Section 11.3(a) or (b), or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent), the Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender or such Related Party, as applicable, an amount equal to its Core Currency Commitment Percentage of such unpaid amount (or, if the Core Currency Commitments have been reduced to $0 or no longer exist, the percentage thereof obtained by dividing the Credit Exposure of such Lender by the Aggregate Credit Exposure (in each case determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought or, in the event that no Lender shall have any Credit Exposure at such time, as of the last time at which any Lender had a Credit Exposure), provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as applicable, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent), the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.6(c).

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither the Parent nor any other Borrower shall assert, and each of them hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct and actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement, instrument or other document contemplated thereby, the Transactions or any Loan or any Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the Transactions.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly but in no event later than ten days after written demand therefor.

Section 11.4 Survival

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in any Loan Document and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to any Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of each Loan Document, the making of any Loans and the issuance of any Letter of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event or Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan reimbursement obligation in respect of any Letter of Credit or any fee or any other amount payable under the Loan Documents is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Aggregate Core Currency Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 11.3, 11.10, 11.11 and Article 10 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the termination of the Aggregate Core Currency Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

The Dollar Equivalent for each Alternate Currency Loan and each Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency shall remain in effect until the same is recalculated by the Administrative Agent as provided above and notice of such recalculation is received by the Parent, it being understood that until such notice is received, the Dollar Equivalent shall be that Dollar Equivalent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent, the Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender and the Lenders of each such determination of the Dollar Equivalent for each Alternate Currency Loan and each Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.4 3.5, 3.6 and 11.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Parent and the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Core Currency Commitments and Individual Currency Commitment of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Parent and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Parent, the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Parent, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, the Parent, any Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Parent or any Borrower) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Core Currency Commitment, Individual Currency Commitments, SL/LC Credit Exposure and/or the Loans owing to it), provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Parent, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Credit Party shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso in Section 11.1(b) that directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, the Parent and each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.9 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.9(h) as though it were a Lender. Notwithstanding the above, if the applicable Borrower is a French Borrower, no transfer of Lender’s rights and/or obligations under the Loan Documents in relation to a Loan may be effected to a Person incorporated, domiciled, established or acting through an office situated in (i) a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction or (ii) a jurisdiction that has not committed to, or not substantially implemented, the internationally agreed standard according to the “grey” and “black” last list published by the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) at the time of the transfer, without the prior consent of Parent.

(e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections Section 3.4 or 3.6 than the Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Parent’s prior written consent. A Participant that is not a U.S. Person shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.6 unless such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Parent, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, to comply with Section 3.6(e) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 11.7 Counterparts; Integration

(a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to any Credit Party, the syndication of the credit facilities established hereunder or concerning the documentation requirements for Non-Core Currency Loans constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Article 5, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by any electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

(b) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Section 11.8 Severability

In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 11.9 Right of Setoff

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Parent, a Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all obligations of the Parent, such Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Parent, such Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the Issuing Bank different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or the Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Parent or the respective Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Section 11.10 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

(b) The Parent and each other Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against the Borrower, or any of its property, in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) The Parent and each other Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any court referred to in Section 11.10(b). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 11.2. 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 11.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 11.12 Headings

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

Section 11.13 Judgment Currency

(a) Each Loan Party’s obligations under the Loan Documents to make payments in the applicable Currency (the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that, on the Business Day immediately following the date of such tender or recovery, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, the Issuing Bank or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase the Obligation Currency with such other currency. If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction, the Obligation Currency could be purchased with the Judgment Currency as of the day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

(b) If the amount of Obligation Currency purchased pursuant to the last sentence of subsection (a) above is less than the sum originally due in the Obligation Currency, the applicable Loan Party covenants and agrees to indemnify the applicable recipient against such loss, and if the Obligation Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to such recipient, such recipient agrees to remit to the applicable Loan Party such excess.

Section 11.14 Confidentiality

(a) Each Credit Party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective 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), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party hereto, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap, derivative, credit protection or other transaction relating to any Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (vii) with the consent of the Parent or the applicable Borrower, (viii) 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 Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Parent or the applicable Borrower, or (ix) on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the credit facilities hereunder.

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

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Borrower, which information includes the name and address of such Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

TIFFANY SCHEDULE 1.1(A)

ADDITIONAL COST

The Additional Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.

2.	On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) each Lender shall calculate, as a percentage rate per annum, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for that Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below.

The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a facility office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Parent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Parent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender's participation in all Loans made from that facility office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that facility office.

4.	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a facility office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by that Lender as follows:

(a)	in relation to a Pounds Sterling Loan:

AB + C(B - D) + E x 0.01

_________________

percent per annum

100 - (A +C)

(b)	in relation to a Loan in any currency other than Pounds Sterling:

E x 0.01

______

300 percent per annum.

Where:

is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements.

is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Margin, the Additional Cost, any Associated Costs and, if the Loan is overdue, the additional rate of interest specified in Section 3.1(e) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan.

is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.

is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to that Lender on interest bearing Special Deposits.

is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is determined by each Lender as being the most recent rate of charge payable by that Lender as referenced in paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

5.	For the purposes of this Schedule:

(a)	“Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;

(b)	“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;

(c)	“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and

(d)	“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.

In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e., 5 percent will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.

The rate of charge for any Lender is the rate of charge payable by that Lender to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Lender as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Lender for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Lender.

The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Lender for the purpose of E above shall be determined by each Lender in accordance with this Schedule and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Parent to the contrary, each Lender's obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a facility office in the same jurisdiction as its facility office.

9.	The applicable Borrower shall pay to each Lender the Additional Cost of that Lender on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for that Lender as determined by that Lender in accordance with this Schedule.

10.	Any determination by a Lender pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Additional Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Loan Parties.

11.

The Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Parent and the Lenders, determine and notify to all Loan Parties and Credit Parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Loan Parties and Credit Parties.
