Section 2.2                                    Borrowing Procedures.

(a)                                 Notice From the Borrower.  Each Borrowing shall be made on notice given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the second Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing.  Each such notice may be made in a writing substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “Notice of Borrowing”) duly completed and specifying, as applicable:

(i)                                     the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

(ii)                                  the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii)                               the initial Interest Period to be applicable to such Borrowing, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”;

(iv)                              the amount of the then-effective International Revolving Borrowing Base, the current aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans (without regard to the requested Borrowing) and the pro forma aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans (giving effect to the requested Borrowing);

(v)                                 the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed; and

38

(vi)                              in the case of any Borrowing prior to the delivery of the initial Compliance Certificate, attaching an Accounts Report current as of the date of such Notice of Borrowing (the “Preliminary Accounts Report”).

In the event that the Borrower fails to select an Interest Period in accordance herewith, the Borrower will be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.  Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of €500,000 and multiples of €500,000 in excess of that amount.

(b)                                 Notice to Each Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall give to each Lender prompt notice of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a Notice of Borrowing and prompt notice of the applicable Interest Period.  Each Lender shall, before 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Annex IV, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such proposed Borrowing.  Upon fulfillment or waiver (i) on the Closing Date, of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.1 and 3.2 and (ii) any time thereafter, of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.2, the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrower in immediately available funds on the date of the proposed Borrowing to the account specified by the Borrower in the Notice of Borrowing delivered in respect of such proposed Borrowing.

(c)                                  Non-Funding Lenders.

(i)                                     Non-Funding Lenders Responsibility.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Lender prior to the date such Lender is required to make any payment hereunder with respect to any Loan or any participation in any Letter of Credit that such Lender will not make such payment (or any portion thereof) available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such payment available to the Administrative Agent on the date such payment is required to be made in accordance with this Article 2 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount; provided that nothing herein or in any other International Loan Document shall be deemed to require the Administrative Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender.  The Borrower agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent within one Business Day of demand such amount (until repaid by such Lender) with interest thereon for each day from the date such corresponding amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable to the International Secured Obligation that would have been created when the Administrative Agent made available such amount to the Borrower had such Lender made a corresponding payment available; provided, however, that such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have to the Borrower or any L/C Issuer and the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Non-Funding Lender.  The failure of a Non-Funding Lender to make any Loan, to fund any purchase of any participation to be made or funded by it or to make any other payment required to be made by it under the International Loan Documents, in each case on the date specified therefore, shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such loan, fund the purchase of such participation or make any other such payment under any International Loan Document on such date, but neither the Administrative Agent nor, other than as expressly set forth herein, any Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Loan, fund the

39

purchase of a participation or make any other payment required under any International Loan Document.

(ii)                                  Reallocation.  If any Lender is a Non-Funding Lender, all or a portion of such Non-Funding Lender’s L/C Obligations (unless such Lender is the L/C Issuer that issued such Letter of Credit) shall, at the Administrative Agent’s election at any time or upon any L/C Issuer’s, as applicable, request as delivered to the Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of any Default), be reallocated to and assumed by the Lenders that are not Non-Funding Lenders or Impacted Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of the Commitment (calculated as if the Non-Funding Lender’s Pro Rata Share was reduced to zero and each other Lender’s Pro Rata Share had been increased proportionately), provided that no Lender shall be reallocated any such amounts or be required to fund any amounts that would cause the sum of its outstanding Loans and outstanding L/C Obligations to exceed its Commitment.

(iii)                               Voting Rights.   Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, including Section 11.1, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any International Loan Document or constitute a “Lender” (or be, or have its Loans or Commitments, included in the determination of “Required Lenders,” or “Lenders directly affected” pursuant to Section 11.1) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any International Loan Document; provided that (A) the Commitment of a Non-Funding Lender may not be increased, (B) the principal of a Non-Funding Lender’s Loans may not be reduced or forgiven and (C) the interest rate applicable to International Secured Obligations owing to a Non-Funding Lender may not be reduced in such a manner that by its terms affects such Non-Funding Lender more adversely than other Lenders, in each case without the consent of such Non-Funding Lender.  For the purposes of determining Required Lenders, the Loans and Commitments held by Non-Funding Lenders shall be excluded from the total Loans and Commitments outstanding.

(iv)                              Borrower Payments to a Non-Funding Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to hold, in a non-interest bearing account, all portions of any payments received by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of any Non-Funding Lender pursuant to this Agreement as cash collateral.  The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to use such cash collateral to pay in full the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount to the appropriate International Secured Parties thereof, and then, to hold as cash collateral the amount of such Non-Funding Lender’s pro rata share, without giving effect to any reallocation pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(ii), of all funding obligations until the International Secured Obligations are paid in full in cash, all L/C Obligations have been discharged or cash collateralized and all Commitments have been terminated.  Upon any such unfunded obligations owing by a Non-Funding Lender becoming due and payable, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to use such cash collateral to make such payment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender.  With respect to such Non-Funding Lender’s failure to fund Loans or purchase participations in Letters of Credit or L/C Obligations, any amounts applied by the Administrative Agent to satisfy such funding shortfalls shall be deemed to constitute a Loan or amount of the participation required to be funded and, if necessary to effectuate the foregoing, the other Lenders shall be deemed to have sold, and such Non-Funding Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, Loans or Letter of Credit participation interests from the other Lenders until such time as the aggregate amount of the Loans and

40

participations in Letters of Credit and L/C Obligations are held by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Commitment.  Any amounts owing by a Non-Funding Lender to the Administrative Agent which are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the interest rate set forth in Section 2.9(c).  In the event that the Administrative Agent is holding cash collateral of a Non-Funding Lender that cures pursuant to clause (v) below or ceases to be a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to the definition of Non-Funding Lender, the Administrative Agent shall return the unused portion of such cash collateral to such Lender. The “Aggregate Excess Funding Amount” of a Non-Funding Lender shall be the aggregate amount of (A) all unpaid obligations owing by such Lender to the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuers and other Lenders under the International Loan Documents, including such Lender’s pro rata share of all Loans, L/C Obligations, plus, without duplication, (B) all amounts of such Non-Funding Lender’s L/C Obligations reallocated to other Lenders pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(ii).

(v)                                 Cure.  A Lender may cure its status as a Non-Funding Lender under clause (a) of the definition of “Non-Funding Lender” if such Lender fully pays to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the applicable International Secured Parties, the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount, plus all interest due thereon, and timely funds the next Loan required to be funded by such Lender or makes the next reimbursement required to be made by such Lender.  Any such cure shall not relieve any Lender from liability for breaching its contractual obligations hereunder.

(vi)                              Fees.  A Lender that is a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender shall not earn and shall not be entitled to receive, and the Borrower shall not be required to pay, such Lender’s portion of the Unused Commitment Fee during the time such Lender is a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause (a) thereof.  In the event that any reallocation of L/C Obligations occurs pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(ii), during the period of time that such reallocation remains in effect, the Letter of Credit Fee payable with respect to such reallocated portion shall be payable to (A) all Lenders based on their pro rata share of such reallocation or (B) to the relevant L/C Issuer for any remaining portion not reallocated to any other Lenders.

Section 2.3                                    International Revolving Borrowing Base.

(a)                                 Calculation of International Revolving Borrowing Base.  The “International Revolving Borrowing Base” shall be equal, as at any date, to:

(i)                                     85% of the aggregate amount of Eligible International Receivables at such date as set forth on the most recently delivered Accounts Report (or, in the case of any Borrowing prior to the delivery of the initial Compliance Certificate, the Preliminary Accounts Report); provided that:

(A)                               in respect of such calculation of the International Revolving Borrowing Base for any Borrowing occurring on or before the date that is 45 days after the Closing Date (in the case of any Receivables referred to subclause (1)) or 20 days after the Closing Date (in the case of any Receivables referred to subclause (2)), any unperfected Lien in Receivables (1) arising from services provided in Saudi Arabia or (2) owing to any of the Parent’s Subsidiaries located in the United Kingdom that would

41

otherwise qualify as Eligible International Receivables shall in each case be deemed (solely for purposes of such calculation) to have been perfected as of the Closing Date so long as the Borrower has performed all actions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to perfect the Lien in such Receivables with the priority required by the International Security Documents; and

(B)                               if the perfection of the Lien in such unperfected Receivables referred to in clause (A) is not in fact completed within 20 days or 45 days, as applicable, following the Closing Date, then the Lien in such Receivables shall no longer be deemed to be perfected and Section 2.8(a) shall apply to the portion of the International Revolving Borrowing Base represented by such Receivables;

plus

(ii)                                  10% of the aggregate amount of Receivables of the Foreign Subsidiaries of the Parent (whether or not they are International Loan Parties) that are (A) not subject to the International Secured Parties’ perfected Lien with the priority required by the International Security Documents but in all other respects would constitute Eligible International Receivables as set forth on the most recently delivered Accounts Report (or, in the case of any Borrowing prior to the delivery of the initial Compliance Certificate, the Preliminary Accounts Report) and (B) owned by a Foreign Subsidiary of the Parent (1) 100% of the Equity Interests of which have been pledged in favor of the International Collateral Agent for the benefit of the International Secured Parties pursuant to the International Security Documents and (2) who shall have not incurred Indebtedness owing to Persons that are not International Loan Parties in an aggregate amount outstanding at such time in excess of €2,000,000.

(b)                                 For purposes of calculating the International Revolving Borrowing Base for any Borrowing occurring on or before the date that is 10 Business Days after the Closing Date (such period, the “Deemed Lien Period”), any Receivable not yet subject to the Lien of any document referred to in Section 7.12(a) (solely as a consequence of such document not having been duly executed and delivered by each party thereto) shall be deemed, solely for purposes of such calculation, to be subject to such Lien during the Deemed Lien Period.  However, (i) so long as any such document referred to in Section 7.12(a) continues to remain unexecuted and undelivered during such Deemed Lien Period, then notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the International Revolving Borrowing Base shall be deemed to be 50% of the amount calculated in accordance with Section 2.3(a) (after giving effect to the foregoing sentence) and (ii) if any such document continues to remain unexecuted and undelivered after the end of the Deemed Lien Period, then such Receivable shall no longer be deemed to be subject to the Lien of such documents referred to in Section 7.12(a) (unless it actually is the subject of the requisite Lien).

(c)                                  The International Revolving Borrowing Base shall be calculated as of the last day of the Fiscal Quarter for which the most recent Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(d) or, in the case of any Borrowing prior to the delivery of the initial Compliance Certificate, as of the date of the Notice of Borrowing for such proposed Borrowing, and be deemed to be effective upon delivery of such Compliance Certificate in accordance with the provisions hereof.   As of any date of determination of the International

42

Revolving Borrowing Base, for purposes of calculation thereof, all amounts in Dollars shall be converted to Euro using the Euro Exchange Rate.

Section 2.4                                    Letters of Credit.

(a)                                 Commitment and Conditions.  On the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, each L/C Issuer agrees to Issue, at the request of the Borrower, in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices, and for the account of the Borrower (or, as long as the Borrower is a co-applicant under the Letter of Credit and remains responsible for the payment in full of all amounts drawn thereunder and related fees, costs and expenses, for the account of any of its Subsidiaries), Letters of Credit (denominated in Euros or any Specified Currency) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Execution Date to the date five Business Days prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date; provided, however, that such L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any of the following, after giving effect to such Issuance:

(i)                                     (A) The aggregate International Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the aggregate Commitments, (B) the Applicable Fronting Exposure of such L/C Issuer would exceed the lesser of its Pro Rata Share of the International Revolving Borrowing Base and its Commitment, or (C) the L/C Obligations for all Letters of Credit would exceed the International L/C Sublimit.

(ii)                                  The expiration date of such Letter of Credit (A) would not be a Business Day, (B) would be more than one year after the date of issuance thereof (or such longer period as shall be reasonably acceptable to the L/C Issuer) or (C) would be later than five Business Days prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date (or such longer period as shall be reasonably acceptable to the L/C Issuer); provided, however, that any Letter of Credit may provide for its renewal for additional periods not exceeding one year or such longer period as shall be reasonably acceptable to the L/C Issuer or extend beyond the date set forth in clause (C) of this Section 2.4(a)(ii) as long as (x) each of the Borrower and such L/C Issuer have the option to prevent such renewal before the expiration of such term or any such period and (y) such renewal does not extend such expiration date beyond the date set forth in clause (C) of this Section 2.4(a)(ii), except to the extent such Letter of Credit is cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer.

(iii)                               (A) Any fee due in connection with, and on or prior to, such Issuance shall not have been paid, (B) such Letter of Credit is requested to be Issued in a form that is not acceptable to such L/C Issuer or (C) such L/C Issuer shall not have received, each in form and substance acceptable to it and duly executed by the Borrower (and, if such Letter of Credit is issued for the account of any other International Loan Party or any Subsidiary of an International Loan Party, such other International Loan Party or Subsidiary), the documents that such L/C Issuer generally uses in the ordinary course of its business for the Issuance of letters of credit of the type of such Letter of Credit (collectively, the “L/C Reimbursement Agreement”), which documents, to the extent the provisions thereof address the same subject matter as the representations, warranties or covenants set forth herein, shall not be more onerous to the Borrower than those set forth herein.

43

(iv)                              The requested amount of such Letter of Credit shall be less than €100,000.

For each such Issuance, the applicable L/C Issuer may, but shall not be required to, determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 have been satisfied or waived in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that no Letter of Credit shall be Issued during the period starting on the first Business Day after the receipt by such L/C Issuer of notice from the Administrative Agent or the Lenders that any condition precedent contained in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 is not satisfied and ending on the date all such conditions are satisfied or duly waived.

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, if any Lender is a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender, no L/C Issuer shall be obligated to Issue any Letter of Credit unless (i) the Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender has been replaced in accordance with Section 2.18 or Section 11.2, (ii) the L/C Obligations of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender have been cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to such L/C Issuer, (iii) the Commitments of the other Lenders have been increased by an amount sufficient to satisfy the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer that all future L/C Obligations will be covered by all Lenders that are not Non-Funding Lenders or Impacted Lenders, or (iv) the L/C Obligations of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender have been reallocated to other Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.2(c)(ii).

(b)                                 Notice of Issuance.  The Borrower shall give the relevant L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent a notice of any requested Issuance of any Letter of Credit, which shall be effective only if received by such L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the third Business Day or such shorter period as may be agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent prior to the date of such requested Issuance.  Such notice may be made in a writing substantially the form of Exhibit D duly completed or in a writing in any other form reasonably acceptable to such L/C Issuer duly completed (each, an “L/C Request”). The Borrower agrees that any notice of request Issuance of any Letter of Credit denominated in a Specified Currency shall automatically be deemed to have been withdrawn if, within one Business Day of the L/C Issuer’s and the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such notice, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent notify the Borrower that (i) such Specified Currency requested is not readily available to them in the amount required or (ii) the Issuance of such Letter of Credit or interest or participation therein would cause any International Secured Party to violate or be in violation of any Requirement of Law.  In addition, the Borrower agrees that any Letter of Credit denominated in a Specified Currency will permit the L/C Issuer to make payments under such Letter of Credit up to at least two Business Days after presentment by the beneficiary in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.”

(c)                                  Reporting Obligations of L/C Issuers.  Each L/C Issuer agrees to provide the Administrative Agent (which, after receipt, the Administrative Agent shall provide to each Lender), in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, each of the following on the following dates: (i) on or prior to (A) any Issuance of any Letter of Credit by such L/C Issuer, (B) any drawing under any such Letter of Credit or (C) any payment (or failure to pay when due) by the Borrower of any related L/C Reimbursement Obligation, notice thereof, which shall contain a reasonably detailed description of such Issuance, drawing or payment; (ii) upon

44

the request of the Administrative Agent (or any Lender through the Administrative Agent), copies of any Letter of Credit Issued by such L/C Issuer and any related L/C Reimbursement Agreement and such other documents and information as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent, (iii) on the first Business Day of each calendar week, a schedule of the Letters of Credit Issued by such L/C Issuer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting forth the L/C Obligations for such Letters of Credit outstanding on the last Business Day of the previous calendar week and (iv) at the close of business on each Business Day of each calendar week, a schedule setting forth (as of such date) the L/C Obligations of the Borrower, the Pro Rata Outstandings of each Lender and the Euro Equivalent of each Issued Letter of Credit denominated in a Specified Currency.

(d)                                 Acquisition of Participations.  Upon any Issuance of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement resulting in any increase in the L/C Obligations, each Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit and the related L/C Obligations in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such L/C Obligations.

(e)                                  Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the L/C Issuer of any Letter of Credit, or to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such L/C Issuer, each L/C Reimbursement Obligation owing with respect to such Letter of Credit no later than 2:00 p.m. on the first Business Day after the Borrower receives notice from such L/C Issuer or from the Administrative Agent that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit (the “L/C Reimbursement Date”), which notice shall be given on the same day that such payment is made, with interest thereon computed as set forth in clause (e)(i) below.  In the event that any L/C Issuer incurs any L/C Reimbursement Obligation not repaid (whether with the proceeds of Loans or otherwise) by the Borrower as provided in this clause (e) (or any such payment by the Borrower is rescinded or set aside for any reason), such L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such failure (and, upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall forward a copy to each Lender) and, irrespective of whether such notice is given, such L/C Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on demand by the Borrower with interest thereon computed (i) from the date on which such L/C Reimbursement Obligation arose to the L/C Reimbursement Date, at the interest rate set forth in Section 2.9(a) and (ii) thereafter until payment in full, at the interest rate set forth in Section 2.9(c).

(f)                                   Reimbursement Obligations of the Lenders.  On the same day that it receives the notice described in clause (e) above from the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share of such L/C Reimbursement Obligation in Euro (as such amount may be increased pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(ii)). By making such payment (other than during the continuation of an Event of Default under Section 9.1), such Lender shall be deemed to have made a Loan to the Borrower, which, upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be deemed to have used in whole to repay such L/C Reimbursement Obligation.  Any such payment that is not deemed a Loan pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be deemed a funding by such Lender of its participation in the applicable Letter of Credit and the related L/C Obligations.  Such participation shall not otherwise be required to be funded.  Following receipt by any L/C Issuer of any payment from any Lender pursuant to this clause (f) with respect to any portion of any L/C Reimbursement Obligation, such L/C Issuer shall promptly pay

45

to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such Lender, all amounts received by such L/C Issuer (or to the extent such amount shall have been received by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Lender all amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such L/C Issuer) with respect to such portion.

(g)                                  Obligations Absolute.  The obligations of the Borrower and the Lenders pursuant to clauses (d), (e) and (f) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement irrespective of (i) (A) the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision in any Letter of Credit, any document transferring or purporting to transfer a Letter of Credit, any International Loan Document (including the sufficiency of any such instrument), or any modification to any provision of any of the foregoing, (B) any document presented under a Letter of Credit being forged, fraudulent, invalid, insufficient or inaccurate in any respect or failing to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (C) any loss or delay, including in the transmission of any document, (ii) the existence of any setoff, claim, abatement, recoupment, defense (other than payment in full of such obligation) or other right that any Person (including the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries) may have against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with any International Loan Document or any other Contractual Obligation or transaction, or the existence of any other withholding, abatement or reduction, and (iii) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of any International Secured Party or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.4, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any obligation of the Borrower or any Lender hereunder.  Nothing herein shall excuse the L/C Issuer for liability to the extent such liability has resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of L/C Issuer as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non appealable judgment or order.

(h)                                 Prior Maturity.  If the Scheduled Maturity Date in respect of any Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then the Borrower shall, on or prior to such Scheduled Maturity Date, cause all such Letters of Credit to be returned to the applicable L/C Issuer for cancellation or to the extent that the Borrower is unable to so return (or elects not to cause the return of) any such Letter(s) of Credit, such Letter(s) of Credit shall be cash collateralized or backstopped in full pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer.  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that upon the taking of the actions described in the foregoing sentence, all participations in Letters of Credit under the applicable terminated Commitments shall terminate.

(i)                                     Designation of Additional L/C Issuers.  The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, designate as additional L/C Issuers one or more Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below; provided that there shall not be more than three L/C Issuers at any time.  The acceptance by a Lender of an appointment as an L/C Issuer hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement, which shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such designated Lender and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement and

46

(ii) references herein to the term “L/C Issuer” shall be deemed to include such Lender in its capacity as an issuer of Letters of Credit hereunder.

(j)                                    Termination of an L/C Issuer.  The Borrower may terminate the appointment of any L/C Issuer as an “L/C Issuer” hereunder by providing notice thereof to such L/C Issuer, with a copy to the Administrative Agent.  Any such termination shall become effective upon the earlier of (i) such L/C Issuer’s acknowledging receipt of such notice and (ii) the fifth Business Day following the date of the delivery thereof; provided that no such termination shall become effective until and unless the exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer (or its Affiliates) shall have been reduced to zero.  At the time any such termination shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the terminated L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.11(b).  Notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such termination, the terminated L/C Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not issue any additional Letters of Credit or be deemed an L/C Issuer for any other purpose.

(k)                                 Cash Collateral.  At any time (i) upon the Scheduled Maturity Date, (ii) after the Scheduled Maturity Date when the aggregate funds on deposit in L/C Cash Collateral Accounts shall be less than 105% of the L/C Obligations for all Letters of Credit at such time and (iii) as required by Section 2.8(a) or 2.12, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s office referred to in Annex IV, for deposit in a L/C Cash Collateral Account, the amount required in Euro so that, after such payment, the aggregate funds on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Accounts equals or exceeds 105% of the difference between (A) the L/C Obligations for all Letters of Credit at such time and (B) the amount of L/C Obligations that are otherwise secured to the reasonable satisfaction of the relevant L/C Issuer and for which the Borrower shall in any event provide the Administrative Agent prompt notice if such other arrangements expire, are replaced or are extended (not to exceed, in the case of clause (iii) above, the payment to be applied pursuant to Section 2.12 to provide cash collateral for Letters of Credit)..

Section 2.5                                    Reduction and Termination of the Commitments.

(a)                                 Optional.  The Borrower may, upon three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part ratably any unused portion of the Commitments, without premium or penalty, but subject to any breakage costs that may be owing pursuant to Section 2.16(a) after giving effect to such termination or reduction; provided, however, that each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of €500,000 and multiples of €500,000 in excess of that amount; provided, further, that the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.8(a), the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans would exceed the aggregate Commitments or there would be any L/C Obligations outstanding at such time.  A reduction of the Commitments shall not require a corresponding pro rata reduction in the International L/C Sublimit except as, and to the extent, provided in Section 2.5(b)(ii).

47

(b)                                 Mandatory.  If at any time the aggregate amount of the International Revolving Credit Facility is reduced by an amount that would cause the International Revolving Credit Facility to be less than the International L/C Sublimit, the International L/C Sublimit shall be automatically and permanently reduced (without any further action by, or notice to or from, any Person), to the amount of the International Revolving Credit Facility at such time.

Section 2.6                                    Repayment of Loans.  The Borrower promises to repay the entire unpaid principal amount of the Loans (together with all accrued but unpaid interest) on the Scheduled Maturity Date.

Section 2.7                                    Optional Prepayments.  The Borrower may prepay the outstanding principal amount of any Loan in whole or in part at any time, without premium or penalty, but subject to any breakage costs that may be owing pursuant to Section 2.16(a) after giving effect to such prepayment; provided, however, that each partial prepayment that is not of the entire outstanding amount shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of €500,000 and multiples of €500,000 in excess of that amount.

Section 2.8                                    Mandatory Prepayments.

(a)                                 Excess Drawing.  If, at any time, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the International Secured Obligations exceeds the lesser of (i) the aggregate Commitments, and (ii) the International Revolving Borrowing Base (as most recently determined) (any such date, an “Excess Date” and the amount of any such excess, the “International Revolving Loan Excess”), the Borrower shall promptly thereafter (but in no event later than five Business Days following the Excess Date), make a prepayment in respect of the outstanding amount of the International Secured Obligations in the amount of the International Revolving Loan Excess; provided that to the extent that such International Revolving Loan Excess results from the Issuance of any Letter of Credit or a change in the Euro Exchange Rate applicable to any Letter of Credit denominated in a Specified Currency, then the Borrower shall promptly thereafter (but in no event later than five Business Days following the Excess Date) provide cash collateral for such Letter of Credit in the manner and to the extent described in Section 2.4(k); provided, further, that:

(i)                                     such prepayment or cash collateralization shall not be required if, within five Business Days, or 20 Days if such International Revolving Loan Excess results solely from a Receivables Exchange Event, after the Excess Date, the Borrower delivers evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that it shall have filed, registered or recorded such document or taken such actions to perfect Liens with the priority required by the International Security Documents in additional Eligible International Receivables in an amount sufficient to permit the Borrower to be in compliance with the International Revolving Borrowing Base described in the most recently delivered Compliance Certificate (after giving effect to the perfection of the aforesaid Liens in such Eligible International Receivables).

(ii)                                  in connection with any prepayment made under this Section 2.8(a), the Borrower may request no later than two days before such prepayment that the International Collateral Agent release contemporaneously with such prepayment certain Property held as part of the Collateral from the Lien of the International Security Documents, and the International

48

Collateral shall so release such Property (A) upon receipt of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (on behalf of such Borrower) certifying that after giving effect to such proposed release, the Borrower shall be in pro forma compliance with the most recently delivered Compliance Certificate and that no Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such release and (B) so long as it has not received notice that a Default has occurred and is continuing.

(b)                                 Application of Payments.  Any payments made to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.12(b).

(c)                                  Other amounts.  All prepayments under this Section 2.8 shall be accompanied by (i) all interest accrued on the amount prepaid or repaid and all other amounts then due on, or with respect to, such portion of the Loans being prepaid; and (ii) any breakage costs that may be owing pursuant to Section 2.16(a) after giving effect to such prepayment.

Section 2.9                                    Interest.

(a)                                 Rate.  All Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made until, in all cases, paid in full, except as otherwise provided in clause (c) below at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the EURIBOR Rate in effect for the applicable Interest Period and the Applicable Margin.

(b)                                 Payments.  Interest accrued on the principal amount of any Loan shall be payable in arrears (i) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and (ii) (x) if such Loan has an Interest Period of one week or one month, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Loan, and (y) if such Loan has an Interest Period longer than one month, every three months during such Interest Period following the date on which such Loan is made (provided that subject to the proviso set forth in the definition of “Interest Period”, if any such three-month date is a day that is not a Business Day, such three-month date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, unless the result of such extension would be to extend such three-month date into the next calendar month, in which case such three-month date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day).

(c)                                  Default Interest.  Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in clause (a) above or elsewhere in any International Loan Document: upon the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) or (e), or upon the election of the Required Lenders in the case of any other Event of Default, the principal balance of all Loans (including (A) any International Secured Obligation that bears interest by reference to the rate applicable to any other International Secured Obligation and (B) post-petition interest in any proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable insolvency laws) shall thereafter bear interest at a rate that is 2.00% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Loans and shall, in each case, be payable on demand by Administrative Agent.  Any imposition of default interest pursuant to this clause (c) may be made retroactive to the date of the occurrence of the applicable Default.

(d)                                 Savings Clause.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest

49

shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the respective Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event the Borrower shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by any applicable Requirement of Law (“Maximum Lawful Rate”); provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as provided in this Agreement.

Section 2.10                             Continuation Options.

(a)                                 Option.  The Borrower may elect in the case of any Loan, to continue such Loan or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto at any time on any Business Day; provided, however, that, (i) for each Interest Period, the aggregate amount of Loans having such Interest Period must be equal to €500,000 or a whole multiple of €500,000 in excess thereof and (ii) no continuation in whole or in part of Loans shall be permitted at any time at which (x) an Event of Default shall be continuing or (y) such continuation would be made during a suspension imposed by Section 2.15, unless the Substitute Basis is currently in effect and being paid by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.15, in which case continuation pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be permitted so long as no Event of Default shall be continuing.

(b)                                 Procedure.  Each such election shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day prior notice in substantially the form of Exhibit E (a “Notice of Continuation”).  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Continuation and of the options selected therein.  If the Administrative Agent does not receive a timely Notice of Continuation from the Borrower containing a permitted election to continue or convert any Loan, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, such Loan shall be automatically be deemed to have an Interest Period of one month’s duration.  Each partial continuation shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Share.

Section 2.11                             Fees.

(a)                                 Unused Commitment Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender to the extent provided in Section 2.2(c)(vi)), a commitment fee (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) at the rate of 0.75% per annum on the average daily amount by which the Commitment of such Lender exceeds its Pro Rata Share of the sum of (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans and (ii) the outstanding amount of the L/C Obligations for all Letters of Credit from the Closing Date through the Scheduled Maturity Date.  The Unused Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears (x) on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter and (y) on the Scheduled Maturity Date.

50

(b)                                 Letter of Credit Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay, with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by any L/C Issuer, (i) to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such L/C Issuer, (A) such L/C Issuer’s customary issuance and administration fees at then prevailing rates, without duplication of fees otherwise payable hereunder (including all per annum fees), charges and expenses of such L/C Issuer in respect of the issuance, negotiation, amendment and extension of, each Letter of Credit or otherwise payable pursuant to the application and related documentation under which such Letter of Credit is issued, and (B) a fronting fee, which shall accrue at a rate equal to 0.125% per annum on the face amount of each such Letter of Credit payable in arrears (x) on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter following the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (y) on the Scheduled Maturity Date; and (ii) to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders according to their Pro Rata Shares, a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) accruing at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Loans on the average daily issued but undrawn face amount of such Letters of Credit, payable in arrears (x) on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter following the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (y) on the Scheduled Maturity Date; provided, however, that the fee payable under this clause (ii) shall be increased by 2.00% per annum and shall be payable, in addition to be payable on any date it is otherwise required to be paid hereunder, on demand effective immediately upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 9.1 for as long as such Event of Default shall be continuing.

(c)                                  Additional Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay the additional fees described in the Fee Letter.

Section 2.12                             Application of Payments.

(a)                                 Application of Voluntary Prepayments.  Unless otherwise provided in this Section 2.12 or elsewhere in any International Loan Document, all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.7 shall be applied to repay the International Secured Obligations the Borrower designates or, if no such direction is given, applied as provided in Section 2.12(d) hereto.

(b)                                 Application of Mandatory Prepayments.  Subject to the provisions of clause (c) below, in the case any other payment made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.8 or any other prepayment of the International Secured Obligations required to be applied in accordance with this clause (b) shall be applied first, to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Loans (without a permanent reduction in the Commitment); and second, to provide cash collateral to the extent and in the manner in Section 9.3.

(c)                                  Application of Payments During an Event of Default.  The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees to cause each International Loan Party to waive, the right to direct the application during the continuance of an Event of Default of any and all payments in respect of any International Secured Obligation and any proceeds of International Collateral and agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) above, the Administrative Agent may, and, upon either (A) the direction of the Required Lenders or (B) the termination of any Commitment or the acceleration of any International Secured Obligation pursuant to Section 9.2, shall, apply all payments in respect of any International Secured Obligation and all other proceeds of International Collateral (i) first, to pay International Secured Obligations in respect of any cost or expense reimbursements, fees or indemnities then due to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

▇▇

▇▇▇▇▇, (▇▇) second, to pay International Secured Obligations in respect of any cost or expense reimbursements, fees or indemnities then due to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, (iii) third, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Loans and L/C Reimbursement Obligations, (iv) fourth, to repay the outstanding principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Reimbursement Obligations and to provide cash collateral for Letters of Credit in the manner and to the extent described in Section 9.3 and to pay amounts owing with respect to Secured Hedging Agreements, (v) fifth, to the ratable payment of all other International Secured Obligations, and (vi) sixth, thereafter, to pay any excess proceeds to or upon the order of the relevant International Loan Party or International Loan Parties or whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

(d)                                 Application of Payments Generally.  All repayments of any Loans shall be applied to repay those Loans having earlier expiring Interest Periods being repaid prior to those having later expiring Interest Periods.  All payments that would otherwise be allocated to the Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall instead be allocated first, to repay interest on any portion of the Loans that the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender and on any L/C Reimbursement Obligation, in each case for which the Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, the L/C Issuer has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower, second to pay the outstanding principal amount of the foregoing obligations and third, to repay the Loans.  If sufficient amounts are not available to repay all outstanding International Secured Obligations described in any priority level set forth in this Section 2.12, the available amounts shall be applied, unless otherwise expressly specified herein, to such International Secured Obligations ratably based on the proportion of the International Secured Parties’ interest in such International Secured Obligations.  Any priority level set forth in this Section 2.12 that includes interest shall include all such interest, whether or not accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, and whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in any such proceeding.

Section 2.13                             Payments and Computations.

(a)                                 Procedure.  All payments (including prepayments) of principal of and interest on a Loan and the fees set forth in Section 2.11 shall be made in Euros, and all other amounts payable under the International Loan Documents shall be made in the currency in which the costs, expenses or Taxes are incurred or in Dollars or Euro as specified.  The Borrower shall make each payment under any International Loan Document not later than 2:00 p.m. on the day when due to the Administrative Agent by wire transfer or ACH transfer to the following account (or at such other account or by such other means to such other address as the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower within a reasonable time prior to such payment) in immediately available funds and without setoff or counterclaim:

ABA No: ▇▇▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Attn: Loan Servicing Group

52

The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees to the Lenders, in accordance with the application of payments set forth in Section 2.12.  The Lenders shall make any payment under any International Loan Document in immediately available funds and without setoff or counterclaim.  Each Lender shall make each payment for the account of any L/C Issuer required pursuant to Section 2.4 (A) if the notice or demand therefor was received by such Lender prior to 2:00 p.m. on any Business Day, on such Business Day and (B) otherwise, on the Business Day following such receipt.  Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day.

(b)                                 Computations of Interests and Fees.  All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable.  Each determination of an interest rate or the amount of a fee hereunder shall be made by the Administrative Agent (including determinations of a EURIBOR Rate in accordance with the definitions of “EURIBOR Rate”) and shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each such determination.

(c)                                  Payment Dates.  Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day without any increase in such payment as a result of additional interest or fees; provided, however, that such interest and fees shall continue accruing as a result of such extension of time.

(d)                                 Advancing Payments.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower to the Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender.  If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon (at the EURIBOR Rate applicable to such Loans) for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent; provided that nothing herein or in any other International Loan Document shall be deemed to require the Administrative Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender.

Section 2.14                             Evidence of Debt.

(a)                                 Records of Lenders.  Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts evidencing Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.  In addition, each Lender having sold a participation in any of its International Secured Obligations or having

53

identified an SPV as such to the Administrative Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower solely for Tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this Section 2.14(a), shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Annex IV (or at such other address as such Lender shall notify the Borrower) a record of ownership (a “Participant Register”), in which such Lender shall register by book entry (A) the name and address of each such participant and SPV (and each change thereto, whether by assignment or otherwise) and (B) the rights, interest or obligation of each such participant and SPV in any International Secured Obligation, in any Commitment and in any right to receive any payment hereunder; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or other obligations under any International Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in a Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the applicable Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(b)                                 Records of Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent, acting as non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower solely for Tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this Section 2.14(b), shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Annex IV (or at such other address as the Administrative Agent may notify the Borrower) (A) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which the Administrative Agent agrees to register by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer in the International Revolving Credit Outstandings, each of their obligations under this Agreement to participate in each Loan, Letter of Credit and L/C Reimbursement Obligation, and any assignment of any such interest, obligation or right (which shall include any transfer or grant of an option to an SPV pursuant to Section 11.2(f) and (B) accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (1) the names and addresses of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers (and each change thereto pursuant to Section 2.18 and Section 11.2, (2) the Commitments of each Lender, (3) the amount of each Loan and each funding of any participation described in clause (A) above, and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (4) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or paid, (5) the amount of the L/C Reimbursement Obligations due and payable or paid and (6) any other payment received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower and its application to the International Secured Obligations.

(c)                                  Registered Obligations.  This Section 2.14 and Section 11.2 shall be construed so that the Loans and L/C Reimbursement Obligations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (and any successor provisions).

(d)                                 Prima Facie Evidence.  The entries made in the Register and in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the

54

obligations recorded therein, absent manifest error; provided, however, that no error in such account and no failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain any such account shall affect the obligations of any International Loan Party to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.  In addition, the International Loan Parties, the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement.  Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender or any L/C Issuer shall be available for access by the Borrower, the Agents, such Lender or such L/C Issuer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  No Lender or L/C Issuer shall, in such capacity, have access to or be otherwise permitted to review any information in the Register other than information with respect to such Lender or L/C Issuer unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent.

(e)                                  Notes.  Upon any Lender’s request, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver Notes to such Lender evidencing the Loans of such Lender and substantially in the form of Exhibit B; provided, however, that only one Note shall be issued to each Lender, except (i) to an existing Lender exchanging existing Notes to reflect changes in the Register relating to such Lender, in which case the new Notes delivered to such Lender shall be dated the date of the original Notes, and (ii) subject to the receipt of a simple, unsecured indemnity from such Lender, in the case of loss, destruction or mutilation of existing Notes and similar circumstances.  Each Note, if issued, shall only be issued as means to evidence the right, title or interest of a Lender or a registered assignee in and to the related Loan, as set forth in the Register, and in no event shall any Note be considered a bearer instrument or obligation.

Section 2.15                             Suspension of EURIBOR Rate Option.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Article 2, the following shall apply:

(a)                                 Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair.  In the event that (A) the Administrative Agent determines in good faith that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the EURIBOR Rate is determined or (B) the Required Lenders determine in good faith and notify the Administrative Agent that the EURIBOR Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period (an “Affected Interest Period”), the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof (a “Rate Determination Notice”) to the Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter.  If such notice is given, during the thirty-day period following such Rate Determination Notice (the “Negotiation Period”) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith with a view to agreeing upon a substitute interest rate basis (having the written approval of the Required Lenders) for the Loans which shall reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding their Loans from alternative sources (a “Substitute Basis”), and if such Substitute Basis is so agreed upon during the Negotiation Period, such Substitute Basis shall apply in lieu of the EURIBOR Rate to all Loans and Interest Periods commencing on or after the first day of the Affected Interest Period, until the circumstances giving rise to such notice have ceased to apply.  If a Substitute Basis is not agreed upon during the Negotiation Period, the Borrower may elect to prepay the Loans pursuant to Section 2.8; provided, however, that if the Borrower does not elect so to prepay, each Lender shall determine (and shall certify from time to time in a certificate delivered by such Lender to the Administrative Agent setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of the computation of such amount) the rate basis reflecting the cost to such Lender of funding its Loans for the Interest

55

Period commencing on or after the first day of the Affected Interest Period, until the circumstances giving rise to such notice have ceased to apply, and such rate basis shall be binding upon the Borrower and such Lender and shall apply in lieu of the EURIBOR Rate for all such Loans and the applicable Interest Periods.

(b)                                 Illegality.  If after the Execution Date (i) any Lender determines in good faith that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any Requirement of Law shall make it unlawful, or (ii) any Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make its Loans (including at a Substitute Basis rate) or to continue to fund or maintain its Loans (including at a Substitute Basis rate), then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (x) the obligation of such Lender to make or continue its Loans shall be suspended until such Lender shall, through the Administrative Agent, notify the Borrower that it has determined that it may lawfully make its Loans and (y) the Borrower shall pay in full such Affected Lender with respect to amounts due or substitute for such Affected Lender in accordance with Section 2.18 on or before the fifth Business Day after the date of receipt by the Borrower of such notice of the circumstances set forth in clause (i) or (ii); provided that any such Affected Lender shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office if such a change would avoid giving such notice and demand and would not, in the good faith determination of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Administrative Agent and each such Lender shall promptly so notify the Borrower once such circumstances no longer exist; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be liable as Administrative Agent for any failure to give such notice.  Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 2.15(b) shall affect the obligation of any other Lender to make or maintain its Loans as in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.16                             Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements.

(a)                                 Breakage Costs.  The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon demand from such Lender to such Borrower (with copy to the Administrative Agent), for any loss or expense (including, in each case, those incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to prepare to fund, to fund or to maintain the Loans of such Lender to the Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the relevant Loans) that such Lender incurs (i) to the extent, for any reason other than solely by reason of such Lender being a Non-Funding Lender, a proposed Borrowing or continuation of Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Continuation or in a similar request made by telephone by the Borrower, (ii) to the extent any Loan is paid (whether through a scheduled, optional or mandatory prepayment) on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period or (iii) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to repay the Loans when required by the terms hereof.  For purposes of this clause (a), each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Loan made by it using a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank market.

(b)                                 Increased Costs.  If at any time any Lender or L/C Issuer determines in its reasonable discretion that the adoption of, or any change in or in the interpretation, application or administration of, or compliance with, any Requirement of Law (other than any imposition or

56

increase of reserve requirements, if any, included in determining the EURIBOR Rate) from any Governmental Authority, in each case after the Execution Date, shall have the effect of (i) increasing the cost to such Lender of making, funding or maintaining any Loan or to agree to do so or of participating, or agreeing to participate, in extensions of credit, (ii) increasing the cost to such L/C Issuer of Issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or of agreeing to do so, (iii) imposing any other cost to such Lender or L/C Issuer with respect to compliance with its obligations under any International Loan Document, or (iv) subjecting any Lender or L/C Issuer to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit,  commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, then, on demand by such Lender or L/C Issuer (with copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or L/C Issuer amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer for such increased cost.

(c)                                  Increased Capital Requirements.  If at any time any Lender or L/C Issuer determines in its reasonable discretion that the adoption of, or any change in or in the interpretation, application or administration of, or compliance with, any Requirement of Law (other than any imposition or increase of reserve requirements, if any, included in determining the EURIBOR Rate) from any Governmental Authority regarding capital adequacy, liquidity, reserves, special deposits, compulsory loans, insurance charges against property of, deposits with or for the account of, International Secured Obligations owing to, or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or L/C Issuer or any similar requirement (other than any imposition or increase of reserve requirements, if any, included in determining the EURIBOR Rate), in each case after the Execution Date, shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s (or any corporation controlling such Lender or L/C Issuer) as a consequence of its obligations under or with respect to any International Loan Document or Letter of Credit to a level below that which, taking into account the capital adequacy policies of such Lender, L/C Issuer or corporation, such Lender, L/C Issuer or corporation could have achieved but for such adoption or change, then, on demand by such Lender or L/C Issuer (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or L/C Issuer amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer for such reduction.

(d)                                 Compensation Certificate Look Back.  Each demand for compensation under this Section 2.16 shall be accompanied by a certificate of the Lender or L/C Issuer claiming such compensation, setting forth the amounts to be paid hereunder in reasonable detail, which certificate shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error.  In determining such amount, such Lender or L/C Issuer may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(e)                                  Additional Costs.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Bank for International Settlements and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued; and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives under or issued in connection with the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking

57

Supervision (or any successor or similar authority), in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

Section 2.17                             Taxes.

(a)                                 Payments Free and Clear of Taxes.  Except as required by a Requirement of Law, each payment by any International Loan Party under any International Loan Document shall be made free and clear of all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings (including backup withholding), assessments, fees or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority, including any interest, additions to tax, or penalties with respect thereto (collectively, “Taxes”).

(b)                                 Gross-Up.  If any Taxes shall be required by any Requirement of Law to be deducted from or in respect of any amount payable under any International Loan Document to any Tax Indemnitee (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, such amount payable shall be increased as necessary to ensure that, after all required deductions or withholdings for Indemnified Taxes are made (including deductions or withholdings applicable to any increases to any amount under this Section 2.17), such Tax Indemnitee receives the amount it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the relevant International Loan Party shall make such deductions or withholdings, (iii) the relevant International Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and (iv) within 30 days after such payment is made, the relevant International Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(c)                                  Other Taxes.  In addition, each International Loan Party agrees to pay, and authorizes the Administrative Agent to pay in its name, any stamp, documentary, excise or property Tax, charges or similar levies imposed by any applicable Requirement of Law or Governmental Authority in each case arising from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any International Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein, except any such Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment requested by Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.18) or a change in Lender’s lending office (collectively, “Other Taxes”).  Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Other Taxes by any International Loan Party, the relevant International Loan Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent an original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d)                                 Indemnification. Each International Loan Party shall reimburse and indemnify, within 30 days after receipt of demand therefor (with copy to the Administrative Agent), each Tax Indemnitee for all Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.17) paid or payable by such Tax Indemnitee whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.  A certificate of such Tax Indemnitee (or of the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Tax Indemnitee) claiming any compensation under this clause (d), setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the relevant International Loan Party with copy to the

58

Administrative Agent, shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(e)                                  Mitigation.  Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office if such a change would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.  Without limiting their liability under other provisions of this Agreement, the International Loan Parties hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such change.

(f)                                   Tax Forms.

(i)                                     Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any International Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.   In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.17(f)(ii) and (f)(iii) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense or would prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)                                  If a payment made to a Lender Party under any International Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender Party fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Lender Party shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii)                               Each Lender having sold a participation in any of its International Secured Obligations or identified an SPV as such to the Administrative Agent shall collect from such participant or SPV the documents described in this clause (f) and provide them to the Administrative Agent.

59

(g)                                  Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If a Tax Indemnitee determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.17), it shall pay to the relevant International Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Tax Indemnitee and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Tax Indemnitee, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such International Loan Party (plus penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Tax Indemnitee in the event such Tax Indemnitee is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything contrary in this Section 2.17(g), in no event shall a Tax Indemnitee be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.17(g) the payment of which would place the Tax Indemnitee in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Tax Indemnitee have been if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This Section 2.17(g) shall not be construed to require any Tax Indemnitee to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

Section 2.18                             Substitution of Lenders.

(a)                                 Substitution Right.  Unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, in the event that any Lender (an “Affected Lender”), (i) makes a claim under clause (b) or (c) of Section 2.16, (ii) notifies the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.15(b) that it becomes illegal for such Lender to continue to fund or make any Loan, (iii) makes a claim for payment pursuant to Section 2.17(b) or Section 2.17(d), (iv) becomes a Non-Funding Lender, or (v) does not consent to any amendment, waiver or consent to any International Loan Document for which the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but that requires the consent of other Lenders, the Borrower may either pay in full such Affected Lender with respect to amounts due with the consent of the Administrative Agent or substitute for such Affected Lender any Lender or any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any Lender or any other Person reasonably acceptable (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the Administrative Agent (in each case, a “Substitute Lender”).

(b)                                 Procedure.  To substitute such Affected Lender or pay in full the International Secured Obligations owed to such Affected Lender as described in the first sentence of clause (a) above, the Borrower shall deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender.  The effectiveness of such payment or substitution shall be subject to the delivery to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower (or, as may be applicable in the case of a substitution, by the Substitute Lender) of (i) payment for the account of such Affected Lender, of, to the extent accrued through, and outstanding on, the effective date for such payment or substitution, all International Secured Obligations owing to such Affected Lender (including those that will be owed because of such payment and all International Secured Obligations that would be owed to such Lender if it was solely a Lender), (ii) in the case of a payment in full of the International Secured Obligations owing to such Affected Lender (and in addition to such

60

amounts owing pursuant to clause (b)(i)), payment of any amount that, after giving effect to the termination of the Commitment of such Affected Lender, is required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.8(a) and (iii) in the case of a substitution, (A) payment of the assignment fee set forth in Section 11.2(c) and (B) an assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent whereby the Substitute Lender shall, among other things, agree to be bound by the terms of the International Loan Documents and assume the Commitment of the Affected Lender.

(c)                                  Effectiveness.  Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clause (b) above, the Administrative Agent shall record such substitution or payment in the Register, whereupon (i) in the case of any payment in full, such Affected Lender’s Commitments shall be terminated and (ii) in the case of any substitution, (A) the Affected Lender shall sell and be relieved of, and the Substitute Lender shall purchase and assume, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the International Loan Documents, except that the Affected Lender shall retain such rights expressly providing that they survive the repayment of the International Secured Obligations and the termination of the Commitments, (B) the Substitute Lender shall become a “Lender” hereunder holding such Affected Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and (C) the Affected Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment to evidence such substitution and deliver any Note in its possession; provided, however, that the failure of any Affected Lender to execute any such Assignment or deliver any such Note shall not render such sale and purchase (or the corresponding assignment) invalid.  Each Lender agrees that if the Borrower or the Administrative Agent exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Lender as an Affected Lender, such Lender shall, promptly after receipt of notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance with Section 11.2.

Section 2.19                             Increased Commitments.

(a)                                 Increase in International Revolving Credit Commitments.  The Borrower may, at any time after the Closing Date by notice to the Administrative Agent and with the reasonable consent of the L/C Issuers, propose an increase in the total Commitments (each such proposed increase being a “International Revolving Credit Commitment Increase”) either by having a Lender increase its Commitment then in effect (each an “International Revolving Increasing Lender”) or by having a Person which is not then a Lender and meeting such requirements set forth in Section 11.2(b) become a party hereto as a Lender with a Commitment (each an “International Revolving Assuming Lender”); provided that (i) upon giving effect to such establishment, the aggregate principal amount of the International Revolving Credit Commitment Increases shall not exceed the Euro Equivalent of $15,000,000 minus the aggregate amount of increases in the revolving commitments of the lenders under the U.S. Credit Agreement theretofore or concurrently effected pursuant to Section 2.19 of the U.S. Credit Agreement and (ii) on a pro forma basis, upon giving effect to such establishment and the use of proceeds therefrom, the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (determined assuming such increased commitments are fully drawn and without including any such proceeds in Cash Netting) does not exceed 2.75:1.00.  Such notice shall specify (A) the name of each Lender or International Revolving Assuming Lender, as applicable, (B) the amount of the International Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and the portion thereof being committed to by each such Lender or International Revolving Assuming Lender and (C) the date on which such International

61

Revolving Credit Commitment Increase is to be effective (a “International Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Date”) (which shall be a Business Day at least five Business Days after delivery of such notice and 30 days prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date).  The Administrative Agent shall notify Lenders promptly upon receipt of the Borrower’s notice of each International Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Date and the International Revolving Credit Commitment Increases in respect thereof.  Such International Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall become effective as of such International Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Date upon the satisfaction in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent of the conditions set forth in Section 2.19(b).

On each International Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Date, if there are Loans then outstanding, the Borrower shall (notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.9 requiring that Borrowings and prepayments be made ratably in accordance with the principal amounts of the Loans and Commitments held by the Lenders) borrow from the Lenders and International Revolving Assuming Lenders (if any), and such lenders shall make, Loans to the Borrower and the Borrower shall prepay Loans held by the other Lenders in such amounts as may be necessary, so that after giving effect to such Loans and prepayments, the Loans (and Interest Periods) shall be held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts of their Commitments (as so increased).  In addition, the Lenders shall be deemed to have sold, and such Lenders and International Revolving Assuming Lenders (if any), as applicable, shall be deemed to have purchased, Letter of Credit participation interests from the other Lenders so that the participations in Letters of Credit and L/C Obligations are held by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Commitments after giving effect to the International Revolving Credit Commitment Increase.

(b)                                 Conditions to Increase.  The effectiveness of each International Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be subject to the following conditions that on and as of such International Revolving Credit Commitment Date, as applicable:

(i)                                     No Default would occur or be continuing before or after giving effect to such International Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, as applicable.

(ii)                                  Both before and after giving effect to the consummation of the International Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, as applicable, and the transactions related thereto, each of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and in the other International Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects to the same extent as though made on and as of that date, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date (provided that if a representation and warranty is qualified as to materiality, the materiality qualifier set forth above shall be disregarded with respect to such representation and warranty for purposes of this condition).

(iii)                               The Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 2.12 and Section 2.17(f) in connection with such International Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, as applicable.

62

(iv)                              The Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.

(v)                                 An agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which, effective as of such International Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Date, as applicable, each Lender or International Revolving Assuming Lender, as applicable, shall provide its Commitment, or an increase of its Commitment, as applicable, shall be duly executed by each such lender, the Borrower and the other International Loan Parties and delivered to the Administrative Agent (each, an “Increased Commitment Agreement”). Each Increased Commitment Agreement shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 2.17(f).

(vi)                              A certificate of a Responsible Officer shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent stating that the conditions with respect to such International Revolving Credit Commitment Increase under this Section 2.19 have been satisfied.

(c)                                  Register.  Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a fully executed Increased Commitment Agreement from each relevant lender, together with such Responsible Officer certificate described in Section 2.19(b)(vi), the Administrative Agent shall acknowledge the same and record the information contained in such agreement in the Register and give prompt notice of the relevant International Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, as applicable, to the Borrower and the Lenders (including, if applicable, each International Revolving Assuming Lender).

(d)                                 Effectiveness.  For avoidance of doubt, each International Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall become a “Commitment”, each International Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be a “Loan”, and each lender thereunder shall be a “Lender” in respect of the International Revolving Credit Facility in each case for all purposes of this Agreement and the other International Loan Documents.

(e)                                  No Obligation to Increase.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation to agree to increase any of its Commitments hereunder and any election to do so shall be in the sole discretion of such Lender.

(f)                                   Supersession.  Section 2.19(a) shall supersede any provisions in Section 11.9 or Section 11.1 to the contrary.
