Item 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

Item 1.02 TERMINATION OF A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

Item 2.03 CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION

On March 26, 2013, Albany International Corp. ("the Registrant") entered into a $330 million, unsecured Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the "New Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent; JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Toronto Branch, as Canadian Agent; J.P. Morgan Europe Limited, as London Agent; and other lenders. J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated acted as Co-Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners and Bank of America, N.A., acted as Syndication Agent for the syndication of the New Agreement. The other lenders participating in the new Agreement are Bank of Tokyo - Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, (who acted as Documentation Agents); and HSBC Bank USA National Association, Nordea Bank Finland, PLC, RBS Citizens, National Association, and First Niagara Bank, N.A. The New Agreement replaced a $390 million five-year facility agreement (the "Old Agreement") with the same Agents and all of the lenders (or their predecessors) listed above, as well as M&T Bank.

The New Agreement contains customary terms, as well as affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default comparable to those in the Old Agreement. The Borrowings are guaranteed by certain of the Registrant's subsidiaries, including all significant U.S. subsidiaries, as were borrowings under the Old Agreement.

The applicable interest rate for borrowings under the New Agreement, as well as under the Old Agreement, is LIBOR plus a spread, based on the Registrant’s leverage ratio at the time of borrowing. Spreads under the New Agreement are lower than under the Old Agreement. The applicable interest rate for borrowings on March 26 was LIBOR plus 137.5 basis points (or 1.59% for a one-month borrowing), compared to LIBOR plus 225 basis points (or 2.46% for a one-month borrowing) under the Old Agreement.

The Agents and certain of the Lenders or their affiliates have from time to time performed, and may in the future perform, various investment banking, financial advisory and other lending services for the Company and its affiliates, for which they have received and will receive customary fees.

A copy of the Agreement is being filed as an exhibit. A copy of the Old Agreement was previously filed as an exhibit to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed July 19, 2010.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans denominated in US Dollars to the Company or any US Borrowing Subsidiary from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the sum of the US Dollar Equivalents of the principal amounts of the outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding US$25,000,000, (ii) the aggregate US Tranche Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the aggregate US Tranche Commitments or (iii) the aggregate Global Tranche Credit Revolving Exposures exceeding the aggregate Global Tranche Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan.

The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve any Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

If requested by such Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a

Letter of Credit.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Combined Tranche Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Applicable Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Combined Tranche Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment in respect of an LC Disbursement required to be refunded to a Borrower for any reason. Such payment by the Lenders shall be made (i) if the currency of the applicable LC Disbursement or reimbursement payment shall be US Dollars, then in US Dollars and (ii) if the currency of the applicable LC Disbursement or reimbursement payment shall be a currency other than US Dollars, in an amount of US Dollars, calculated by the Applicable Agent based on current exchange rates on the applicable LC Participation Calculation Date, sufficient to enable the Applicable Agent to purchase an amount of such currency equal to the amount of such LC Disbursement. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit, the occurrence and continuance of a Default, any reduction or termination of the Commitments or any fluctuation in currency values, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Applicable Agent an amount in the currency of such LC Disbursement equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if such Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by such Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, on (i) the Business Day that such Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that such Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that if such LC Disbursement is denominated in US Dollars and is not less than $1,000,000, the applicable Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with an ABR Borrowing or a Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the applicable Borrower fails to make any such reimbursement payment when due, (A) if such payment relates to a Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than US Dollars, automatically and with no further action required, the obligation of such Borrower to reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement shall

be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the US Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the LC Exchange Rate on the applicable LC Participation Calculation Date, of such LC Disbursement and (B) in the case of each LC Disbursement, the Applicable Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the amount of the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Combined Tranche Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay in US Dollars to the Applicable Agent on the date such notice is received its Combined Tranche Percentage of the applicable LC Disbursement payment then due from such Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders pursuant to this paragraph), and the Applicable Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Applicable Agent of any payment from a Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Applicable Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any term or provision herein or therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, such Borrower’s obligations hereunder. None of the Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to a Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by (i) such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof or (ii) such Issuing Bank’s breach of its obligation to issue a Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Applicable Agent and the applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing

Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the applicable Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, (i) in the case of any LC Disbursement denominated in US Dollars, and at all times following the conversion to US Dollars of an LC Disbursement made in an Alternative Currency pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Company fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.12(f) shall apply and (ii) if such LC Disbursement is made in an Alternative Currency, at all times prior to its conversion to US Dollars pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, at a rate equal to the rate reasonably determined by the applicable Issuing Bank to be the cost to such Issuing Bank of funding such LC Disbursement plus the Applicable Rate applicable to LIBOR Revolving Loans or EURIBOR Revolving Loans, as the case may be, at such time; provided that, if the applicable Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.12(f) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid to the Applicable Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank (except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be paid to the Applicable Agent for the account of such Lender pro rata to the extent of such payment), and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand has been made, on the date on which the applicable Borrower reimburses the applicable LC Disbursement in full.

(i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(c). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement (including the right to receive fees under Section 2.11(c)), but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Company receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposures representing more than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, each Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, an amount in cash equal to the portion of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that (i) amounts payable in respect of any Letter of Credit or LC Disbursement shall be payable in the currency of such Letter of Credit or LC Disbursement, except that LC Disbursements in an Alternative Currency in respect of which the applicable Borrower’s reimbursement obligations have been converted to obligations in US Dollars as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section and interest accrued thereon shall be payable in US Dollars and (ii) the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower or any Material Subsidiary described in Section 7.01(h) or 7.01(i). The Borrowers shall also deposit cash collateral in accordance with this paragraph as and to the extent required

by Section 2.21. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations, and the applicable Borrower hereby creates in favor of the Administrative Agent a security interest in each such deposit to secure such Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the applicable Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the applicable Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing more than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. If a Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(k) Designation of Additional Issuing Banks. From time to time, the Company may by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below. The acceptance by a Lender of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be evidenced by an Issuing Bank Agreement, which shall set forth the LC Commitment of such Lender and be executed by such Lender, the Company and the Administrative Agent and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such Lender in its capacity as an Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank Agreement of any Issuing Bank may limit the currencies in which and the Borrowers for the accounts of which such Issuing Bank will issue Letters of Credit, and any such limitations will, as to such Issuing Bank, be deemed to be incorporated in this Agreement.

(l) Issuing Bank Reports. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the currency and aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amount thereof shall have changed), it being understood that such Issuing Bank shall not effect any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Letter of Credit without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that such increase is then permitted under this Agreement, (ii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date, currency and amount of such LC Disbursement, (iii) on any Business Day on which a Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the currency and amount of such LC Disbursement and (iv) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the applicable currency by 11:00 a.m., Local Time, to the account of the Applicable Agent most recently designated by such Applicable Agent for such purpose by notice to the applicable Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Applicable Agent will make such Loan proceeds available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Applicable Funding Account of such Borrower; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank. If a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because

any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, the Applicable Agent shall return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.

(b) Unless the Applicable Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Applicable Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Applicable Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount in the required currency. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Applicable Agent, then the applicable Lender and such Borrower severally agree to pay to the Applicable Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Applicable Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the rate reasonably determined by the Applicable Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount or (ii) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the subject Loan.

SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, a EURIBOR Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, a EURIBOR Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section and on terms consistent with the other provisions of this Agreement. The applicable Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the applicable affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, a Borrower shall notify the Applicable Agent (and, if such Agent is not the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent ) of such election by the time and date that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such notice shall be given (i) in the case of a notice to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, by telephone or telecopy, and (ii) in the case of a notice to the London Agent, by email or telecopy. Each Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be in a form (or, in the case of a telephonic Interest Election Request, confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy of a written Interest Election Request in a form) approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by a Financial Officer of the applicable Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a Borrower shall not be permitted to (i) change the currency of any Borrowing, (ii) to elect an Interest Period for LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or CDOR Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d) or (iii) to convert any Borrowing into a Type not available for Borrowings in the applicable currency.

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

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

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

(iii) the Type of the resulting Borrowing; and

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

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

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

(e) If the applicable Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a LIBOR Borrowing, a EURIBOR Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, (i) in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing made to the Company or a US Borrowing Subsidiary and denominated in US Dollars, such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing, (ii) in the case of a CDOR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be converted to a Canadian Prime Borrowing and (iii) in the case of any other LIBOR Borrowing or any EURIBOR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall become due and payable on the last day of such Interest Period.

(f) Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Company, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing denominated in US Dollars to the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary may be converted to or continued as a LIBOR Borrowing, (ii) unless repaid, each LIBOR Borrowing denominated in US Dollars of the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iii) no outstanding Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars may be converted to or continued as a CDOR Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each CDOR Borrowing shall be converted to a Canadian Prime Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. The foregoing is without prejudice to the other rights and remedies available hereunder upon an Event of Default.

SECTION 2.08. Termination, Reduction and Increase of Commitments.
(a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) The Company may at any time, without premium or penalty, terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any Tranche; provided that (i) each such reduction of the Commitments of any Tranche shall be in an amount that is not less than the Borrowing Minimum and an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple, in each case for Borrowings denominated in US Dollars, (ii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments of any Tranche if after giving effect to such termination or reduction and to any concurrent payment or prepayment of Loans or LC Disbursements in accordance with Section 2.10, the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Exposures under either the US Tranche or the Global Tranche would exceed the aggregate amount of Commitments of such Tranche and (iii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and one or more Letters of Credit or unreimbursed LC Disbursements shall be outstanding, the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments of either Tranche unless it shall simultaneously and ratably reduce the Commitments of the other Tranche.

(c) The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under any Tranche under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Canadian Agent, the London Agent and the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of

termination of the Commitments under any Tranche may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked or extended by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied or the effectiveness of such other credit facilities is delayed. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments under any Tranche shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments under any Tranche shall be made ratably among the applicable Lenders in accordance with their Commitments under such Tranche.

(d) (i) The Company may at any time and from time to time, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall deliver a copy thereof to the Canadian Agent, the London Agent and the applicable Lenders) executed by the Company and one or more financial institutions (any such financial institution referred to in this Section being called an “Increasing Lender”), which may include any Lender, cause Global Tranche Commitments or US Tranche Commitments to be extended by the Increasing Lenders (or cause the Global Tranche Commitments or US Tranche Commitments of the Increasing Lenders to be increased, as the case may be) in an amount for each Increasing Lender (which shall not be less than US$5,000,000) set forth in such notice; provided, that (A) the new Commitments and increases in existing Commitments pursuant to this paragraph shall not be greater than US$100,000,000 in the aggregate during the term of this Agreement and shall not be less than US$10,000,000 (or any portion of such US$100,000,000 aggregate amount remaining unused) for any such increase, (B) each Increasing Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (iii) each Increasing Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall become a party to this Agreement by completing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a duly executed accession agreement in a form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “Accession Agreement”). New Commitments and increases in Commitments shall become effective on the date specified in the applicable notices delivered pursuant to this paragraph. Upon the effectiveness of any Accession Agreement to which any Increasing Lender is a party, (x) such Increasing Lender shall thereafter be deemed to be a party to this Agreement and shall be entitled to all rights, benefits and privileges accorded a Lender hereunder and subject to all obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed to have been amended to reflect the Commitment or Commitments of such Increasing Lender as provided in such Accession Agreement.

(ii) On the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) of any increase in the Commitments of any Tranche pursuant to paragraph (d)(i) above (a “Commitment Increase”), (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Borrowings of such Tranche outstanding (the “Initial Borrowings”) immediately prior to the Commitment Increase on the Increase Effective Date shall be deemed to be paid; (B) each Increasing Lender that shall have had a Commitment under such Tranche prior to the Commitment Increase shall pay to the Administrative Agent in same day funds (in the applicable currencies), an amount equal to the difference between (x) the product of (1) such Lender’s applicable Tranche Percentage (calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the amount of each Subsequent Borrowing (as hereinafter defined) and (y) the product of (1) such Lender’s applicable Tranche Percentage (calculated without giving effect to the Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the amount of each Initial Borrowing; (C) each Increasing Lender that shall not have had a Commitment under such Tranche prior to the Commitment Increase shall pay to the Administrative Agent in same day funds (in the applicable currencies) an amount equal to the product of (1) such Increasing Lender’s applicable Tranche Percentage (calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the amount of each Subsequent Borrowing; (D) after the Administrative Agent receives the funds specified in clauses (B) and (C) above, the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender (in the applicable currencies) the portion of such funds that is equal to the difference between (x) the product of (1) such Lender’s applicable Tranche Percentage (calculated without giving effect to the Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the amount of each Initial Borrowing, and (y) the product of (1) such Lender’s applicable Tranche Percentage (calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the amount of each Subsequent Borrowing; (E) after the effectiveness of the Commitment Increase, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have made new Borrowings (the “Subsequent Borrowings”) in amounts (in the currencies of the Initial Borrowings) equal to the amounts of the Initial Borrowings and of the Types and for the Interest Periods specified in a Borrowing Request delivered to the Administrative

Agent in accordance with Section 2.03; (F) each Lender shall be deemed to hold its applicable Tranche Percentage of each Subsequent Borrowing (each calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase); and (G) the Borrower shall pay each Lender any and all accrued but unpaid interest on its Loans comprising the Initial Borrowings. The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (i) above shall be subject to compensation by the applicable Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.16 if the Increase Effective Date occurs other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Commitments (or in the Commitment of any Lender) or additions of a new Lender shall become effective under this paragraph (d) unless (A) on the effective date of such increase, the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(a) and (b) shall be satisfied (with all references in such paragraphs to a Borrowing being deemed to be references to such increase or addition) and (B) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by the President, Vice President or a Financial Officer of the Company (with sufficient copies for each of the Lenders) together with documents consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date under Section 4.01(b), (c) and (f), giving effect to such increase or addition.

SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.
(a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Applicable Agent for the accounts of the applicable Lenders the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Borrower on the Maturity Date and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan made to such Borrower on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th day or the last day of a calendar month and that is at least two Business Days after the day on which such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date on which a Borrowing denominated in US Dollars (including any ABR Borrowing) is made to a Borrower that shall have borrowed Swingline Loans, such Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding to it.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type of each such Loan and, in the case of any LIBOR, EURIBOR or CDOR Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent or the London Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders or any of them and each Lender’s share thereof. The information contained in such accounts will be made available to the Company at reasonable times and upon reasonable request.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it to any Borrower be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Company and the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.10. Prepayment of Loans. (a) Each Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing of such Borrower in whole or in part, subject to Section 2.16 (but otherwise without premium or penalty) and the requirements of this Section.

(b) If the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures under any Tranche shall exceed the aggregate Commitments under such Tranche, then (i) on the last day of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing or CDOR Borrowing under such Tranche and (ii) on each other date on which any ABR Borrowing or Swingline Loan or a Canadian Prime Borrowing shall be outstanding under such Tranche, the applicable Borrowers shall prepay Loans under such Tranche in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount necessary to eliminate such excess and (ii) the amount of such Borrowing. If the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures under any Tranche on the last day of any month shall exceed 105% of the aggregate Commitments under such Tranche, then the applicable Borrowers shall, within three Business Days of such last day, prepay one or more Borrowings under such Tranche in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(c) On the date of any Prepayment Event, the Company shall pay or prepay (or shall cause a Borrowing Subsidiary to pay or prepay) Borrowings in an amount equal to that portion of the Pro Rata Proceeds of such Event equal to the excess of (a) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures immediately following such Event over (b) the aggregate Commitments after giving effect to the reduction of the Commitments required pursuant to Section 6.03(i) or 6.06(c) in respect of such Event.

(d) On the date of any termination or reduction of the Commitments of either Tranche pursuant to Section 2.08, the Company shall pay or prepay (or shall cause a Borrowing Subsidiary to pay or prepay) so much of the Borrowings under such Tranche as shall be necessary in order that the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures under such Tranche shall not exceed the aggregate Commitments under such Tranche after giving effect to such termination or reduction.

(e) Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the applicable Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section.

(f) The applicable Borrower shall notify the Applicable Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) of any prepayment of a Borrowing hereunder (i) in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, a EURIBOR Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, three Business Days before the date of such prepayment, (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing or a Canadian Prime Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of such prepayment and (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be given (i) in the case of a notice to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, by telephone or telecopy, and (ii) in the case of a notice to the London Agent, by email or telecopy. Each such telephonic notice shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy of a written notice. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Applicable Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.

SECTION 2.11. Fees. (a) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, in US Dollars, for the account of each Lender, a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily unused amount of each Commitment of such Lender, in each

case during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and, with respect to the Commitments of any Tranche, on the date on which the Commitments of such Tranche shall terminate. All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing Commitment Fees, (i) a Global Tranche Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Global Tranche Revolving Loans and LC Exposure (to the extent attributable to its Global Tranche Commitment) of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose), and (ii) a US Tranche Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding US Tranche Revolving Loans and LC Exposure (to the extent attributable to its US Tranche Commitment) of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose).

(b) The Company agrees to pay (or cause the applicable Borrowing Subsidiary to pay) (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee (an “LC Participation Fee”) with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate used in determining the interest rate applicable to LIBOR Revolving Loans on the daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank, a fronting fee (an “LC Fronting Fee”), which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily undrawn amount of the outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the period from and including Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which the last of such Letters of Credit expires, terminates or is drawn in full, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees (“Issuing Bank Fees”) with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. LC Participation Fees and LC Fronting Fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such Fees not so paid shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such Fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All LC Participation Fees and LC Fronting Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon in writing between the Company and the Administrative Agent.

(d) The Borrowers agree to pay, through the Administrative Agent, upfront fees in the amounts heretofore communicated to the Lenders by the Company and the Administrative Agent.

(e) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates on which due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent or to any Issuing Bank (in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of Commitment Fees, LC Participation Fees and upfront fees, to the Revolving Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. The parties hereto agree that each fee payable under paragraph (a), (c) or (d) of this Section shall be payable (i) 61% by the Company, (ii) 13% by AIH, (iii) 13% by AIE, and (iv) 13% by AIC, it being agreed that such allocation shall not reduce the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under Article IX in respect of amounts payable by such Borrowing Subsidiaries.

SECTION 2.12. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) The Loans comprising each Canadian Prime Borrowing shall bear interest at the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) The Loans comprising each LIBOR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(d) The Loans comprising each EURIBOR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted EURIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(e) The Loans comprising each CDOR Borrowing shall bear interest at the CDOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by any Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(g) Accrued interest on each Loan under any Tranche shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon the termination of the Commitments of such Tranche; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any LIBOR, EURIBOR or CDOR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. All interest shall be payable in the currency in which the applicable Loan is denominated.

(h) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that (i) interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate and interest on Canadian Prime Rate Borrowings shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days(or 366 days in a leap year) and (ii) interest on CDOR Borrowings shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days. Interest on all Borrowings and other amounts accruing interest shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate, Adjusted EURIBO Rate, Canadian Prime Rate or CDOR Rate shall be determined by the Applicable Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(i) The rates of interest provided for in this Agreement, insofar as they relate to Global Tranche Revolving Loans made to or LC Disbursements under Letters of Credit issued for the account of Swiss Borrowing Subsidiaries, are minimum interest rates. When entering into this Agreement, the parties have assumed that the interest payable by Swiss Borrowing Subsidiaries at the rates set out in this Section or in other Sections of this Agreement is not and will not become subject to the Swiss Withholding Tax. Notwithstanding that the parties hereto do not anticipate that any payment of interest will be subject to the Swiss Withholding Tax, such parties agree that, in the event that (i) the Swiss Withholding Tax shall be imposed on interest payments by any Swiss Borrowing Subsidiary and (ii) such Swiss Borrowing Subsidiary is unable, by reason of the Swiss Withholding Tax Act, to comply with Section 2.17, the interest rate on Loans and LC Disbursements of such Swiss Borrowing Subsidiary shall be increased in such a way that the amount of interest effectively paid to each Lender or Issuing Bank is in an amount which (after making any deduction of the Non-Refundable Portion (as defined below) of the Swiss Withholding Tax) equals the amount of such interest that would have been due had no deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax been required. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, a payment shall not be

increased with respect to a specific Lender under this paragraph (i) of Section 2.12 by reason of Swiss Withholding Tax if and to the extent the Swiss Ten Non-Bank Rule and/or the Swiss Twenty Non-Bank Rule shall have been violated as a result, in whole or in part, of such Lender's non-compliance with its obligations under Section 2.17(h) or Section 10.04(d). For the purposes of this Section, “Non-Refundable Portion” shall mean Swiss Withholding Tax at the standard rate (being, as at the date hereof, 35%) unless a tax ruling issued by the Swiss Federal Tax Administration confirms that, in relation to a specific Lender based on an applicable double tax treaty, the Non-Refundable Portion is a specified lower rate (or no withholding tax is imposed), in which case such lower rate (or zero rate) shall be applied in relation to such Lender. To the extent that interest payable by a Swiss Borrowing Subsidiary under this Agreement or any other Loan Document becomes subject to Swiss Withholding Tax, each specific Lender and the specific Swiss Borrowing Subsidiary shall promptly co-operate in completing any procedural formalities (including submitting forms and documents required by the appropriate Tax authority) to the extent possible and necessary for the specific Swiss Borrowing Subsidiary to obtain the tax ruling from Swiss Federal Tax Administration.

(j) No Swiss Borrowing Subsidiary shall be required to pay any additional amount to a Lender pursuant to paragraph (i) above to compensate such Lender for any Swiss Withholding Tax that, as to such Lender, is an Excluded Tax by reason of subclause (c)(ii) of the definition of such term.

SECTION 2.13. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Borrowing, a EURIBOR Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing:

(a) the Applicable Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Adjusted EURIBO Rate or the CDOR Rate, as the case may be, for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Applicable Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (or a majority in interest of the Lenders that would make Loans as part of such Borrowing) that the Adjusted LIBO Rate, Adjusted EURIBO Rate or CDOR Rate, as the case may be, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining the Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Applicable Agent shall give notice thereof to the applicable Borrower and the applicable Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Applicable Agent notifies the applicable Borrower and the applicable Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (it being agreed that the Administrative Agent will so notify the Company promptly after it becomes aware that such circumstances no longer exist), (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, an affected LIBOR Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing or CDOR Borrowing, as the case may be, shall be ineffective, (ii) any affected LIBOR Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing or CDOR Borrowing that is requested to be continued shall (A) if denominated in US Dollars, be continued as an ABR Borrowing, (B) if denominated in Canadian Dollars, be continued as a Canadian Prime Borrowing or (C) otherwise, be repaid on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto and (iii) any Borrowing Request for an affected LIBOR Borrowing, a EURIBOR Borrowing or CDOR Borrowing shall (A) if denominated in US Dollars, be deemed a request for an ABR Borrowing, (B) if denominated in Canadian Dollars, be deemed a request for a Canadian Prime Borrowing or (C) otherwise, be ineffective.

SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the Adjusted EURIBO Rate) or any Issuing Bank;

(ii) subject any Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank to any Taxes (other than Taxes on payments under this Agreement and Other Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 2.17, and Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the London or European interbank market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or CDOR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participations therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or CDOR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation to pay or cause to be paid any amounts in respect of such increased cost or reduction if it is not the general practice of such Lender or such Issuing Bank at the time such increased cost or reduction occurs to claim reimbursement for, or indemnity with respect to, such increased cost or reduction in respect of similar transactions involving similarly situated borrowers.

(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) If the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining any Loan to, or participating in any Letter of Credit or of any Issuing Bank of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit to, a Borrowing Subsidiary is increased (or the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) or any Issuing Bank is reduced) by an amount deemed in good faith by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to be material, by reason of the fact that such Borrowing Subsidiary is incorporated in, has its principal place of business in, or borrows from, a jurisdiction outside the United States, such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Company and such Borrowing Subsidiary shall indemnify such Lender or such Issuing Bank for such increased cost or reduction within 10 days after demand by such Lender or such Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent); provided that failure by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to provide prompt notice pursuant to this Section will not impair its rights to indemnification under this Section (except, and only to the extent, such Borrowing Subsidiary suffers an actual loss by the failure to provide such notice within 90 days from the incurrence of such increased cost). A certificate of such Lender or such Issuing Bank claiming compensation under this paragraph and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder (and the basis for the calculation of such amount or amounts) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(d) A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay or cause the applicable Borrower to pay such Lender or

such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the applicable Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.15. Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if, after the Closing Date, (i) any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or CDOR Loan or (ii) there shall have occurred any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions (including the imposition of or any change in exchange controls) or currency exchange rates which would make it impracticable for any Lender to make any LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or CDOR Loan, then, by written notice to the Company and to the Administrative Agent:

(i) such Lender may declare that LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans (in the affected currency or currencies) or CDOR Loan, as the case may be, will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness or impracticability) be made by such Lender hereunder, whereupon any request for a LIBOR Borrowing or EURIBOR Borrowing (in the affected currency or currencies) or a CDOR Borrowing, as the case may be, shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed (A) in the case of a request for a Loan denominated in US Dollars, a request for an ABR Loan, (B) in the case of a request for a Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars, a request for a Canadian Prime Loan or (B) in the case of a request for a Loan denominated in any other currency, to have been withdrawn; and

(ii) such Lender may require (A) that all affected LIBOR Loans denominated in US Dollars made by it be converted to ABR Loans, (B) that all affected CDOR Loans made by it be converted to Canadian Prime Loans and (C) that all affected LIBOR Loans denominated in any other currency or EURIBOR Loans made by it be prepaid, in which event all such LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans or prepaid, as the case may be, and all such affected CDOR Loans shall be automatically converted to Canadian Prime Loans, in each case as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or CDOR Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans or Canadian Prime Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or CDOR Loans.

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

SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or CDOR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any any LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or CDOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any any LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or CDOR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether any such

notice may be revoked or extended under Section 2.10(e) and is revoked or extended in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any any LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or CDOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19 or following an Event of Default with respect to the Company under Section 7.01(h) or (i), then, in any such event, the applicable Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a any LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or CDOR Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender in good faith to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Adjusted EURIBO Rate or the CDOR Rate, as the case may be (without taking into account the Applicable Rate), that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan) over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Adjusted EURIBO Rate or the CDOR Rate, as the case may be (without taking into account the Applicable Rate), for an Interest Period commencing on the date of such event and ending at or as nearly as possible to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the last day of the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan). A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.17. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, except as required by law; provided that if any Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) each Agent, Lender and Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Company shall pay, or shall cause the applicable Loan Party to pay, any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Company shall indemnify (or shall cause the applicable Loan Party to indemnify) each Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Company (or such Loan Party) hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that the Company shall have no obligation to pay or cause to be paid any amounts in respect of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes if it is not the general practice of the Lender at the time such Taxes are assessed or imposed to claim reimbursement for, or indemnity with respect to, such Taxes in respect of similar payments or transactions involving similarly situated borrowers. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Lender or an Issuing Bank or by an Agent, on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Company or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Company shall deliver, or shall cause such Loan Party to deliver, to the Applicable Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued

by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable Agent.

(e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify each Agent for the full amount of any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender that is paid or payable by such Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this paragraph (e) shall be paid within 10 days after any such Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Excluded Taxes so payable by such Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so payable absent manifest error.

(f) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to any payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Company (and the Agents), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or any Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or such Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or any Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or such Agent as will enable the Borrower or such 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 below in this paragraph (f)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or any Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section. If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify such Borrower and the Agents in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so. If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Borrower is a U.S. Person, any Lender with respect to such Borrower shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies reasonably requested by such Borrower and the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto, duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9;

(B) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender for whom payments under any Loan Document constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI;

(D) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN and (2) a certificate substantially in the form of the applicable certificate in Exhibit C-2 (a “US Tax Certificate”) to the effect that such Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (b) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (d) conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected;

(E) in the case of a Foreign Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under any Loan Document (including a partnership or a participating Lender) (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (F) of this paragraph (f)(ii) that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; provided, however, that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a US Tax Certificate substantially in the form of the applicable certificate in Exhibit C-2 on behalf of such partners; or

(F) any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld.

(g) If an Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank reasonably determines that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that such Loan Party agrees to pay, upon the request of such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, the amount paid to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank in the event such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall require any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

(h) Each Global Tranche Lender that is a Global Tranche Lender as of the Closing Date confirms that, as of the Closing Date, such Lender is a Qualifying Bank. Each Person that shall become a Lender after the Closing Date confirms that, as of the date such Person becomes a Lender, and each Person that shall at any time acquire a participation in any Loan of any Swiss Borrowing Subsidiary shall be deemed to have confirmed as of the date such Person acquires such participation (or, if earlier, the date on which such Person acquired the participation in a Commitment that resulted in its acquisition of such participation in such Loan of such Swiss Borrowing Subsidiary upon the making thereof), it is a Qualifying Bank. Each Lender which is a Qualifying Bank, and which participates in a Loan made to or LC Disbursement for the account of any Swiss Borrowing Subsidiary, will promptly notify the specific Swiss Borrowing Subsidiary and the Administrative Agent in writing as soon as it becomes aware that it ceases, or will cease, to be a Qualifying Bank. If and to the extent the continued participation of such Lender in a Loan to or LC Disbursement for the account of any Swiss Borrowing Subsidiary after it ceases to be a Qualifying Bank would result in a breach of the Swiss Withholding Tax Rules, the Swiss Borrowing Subsidiary may, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing pursuant to clause (h) or (i) of

Article VII, require that such Lender transfer its rights and obligations in respect of the Loan to another person in compliance with Section 10.04 as soon as reasonably practicable.

(i) For purposes of applying clause (c)(i) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, the parties agree that the Swiss Withholding Tax shall be treated as not “applicable” as of the date hereof.

(j) Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, a payment shall not be increased with respect to a specific Lender under this Section 2.17 by reason of Swiss Withholding Tax if and to the extent the Swiss Ten Non-Bank Rule and/or the Swiss Twenty Non-Bank Rule shall have been violated as a result, in whole or in part, of such Lender's non-compliance with its obligations under Section 2.17(h) or Section 10.04(d).

SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m. (or such other time as may be expressly provided in this Agreement), Local Time at the place of payment, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may be deemed, in the discretion of the Applicable Agent, to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. Unless and until otherwise specified, all such payments shall be made to the Applicable Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders to such account as the Applicable Agent shall from time to time specify in one or more notices delivered to the Company, except that (i) payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender shall be so directly made, (ii) payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and (iii) payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. Each such payment shall be made in US Dollars, except that the principal of and interest on any Loan or LC Disbursement denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made in such currency. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.

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

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans, participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans or accrued interest on any of the foregoing (collectively “Claims”) under any Tranche resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Claims under such Tranche than the proportion received by any other Lender with Claims under such Tranche, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Claims of the other Lenders under such Tranche to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders with Claims under such Tranche ratably in accordance with the aggregate amounts of their respective Claims under such Tranche; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, unless the Lender from which such payment is recovered is required to pay interest thereon, in which case each Lender returning funds to such Lender shall pay its pro rata share of such interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by

any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Claims to any assignee or participant, other than to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Company and each Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Company or such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Applicable Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to such Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Applicable Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Applicable Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Applicable Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Applicable Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b), 2.18(d) or 10.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Such Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then such Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or such Borrower (in the case of all other

amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the applicable Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.20. Borrowing Subsidiaries. On or after the Effective Date, the Company may designate (a) any Domestic Subsidiary, Swiss Subsidiary or Canadian Subsidiary, or, with the prior written consent of each Global Tranche Lender, any other Subsidiary, as a Global Tranche Borrower, or (b) any Domestic Subsidiary as a US Tranche Borrower, in each case by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement executed by such Subsidiary and the Company, and upon such delivery such Subsidiary shall for all purposes of this Agreement be a Global Tranche Borrowing Subsidiary or a US Tranche Borrowing Subsidiary, as the case may be, and a party to this Agreement; provided, that the Company shall not designate any Swiss Subsidiary as a Global Tranche Borrower if the Swiss Twenty Non-Bank Rule would be violated upon the making of any Loan or other extension of credit hereunder to such Swiss Subsidiary. Any Borrowing Subsidiary shall continue to be a Global Tranche Borrowing Subsidiary or a US Tranche Borrowing Subsidiary, as the case may be, until the Company shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Subsidiary Termination with respect to such Subsidiary, whereupon such Subsidiary shall cease to be a Borrowing Subsidiary and a party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, (a) no Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement shall become effective as to any Subsidiary if it shall be unlawful for such Subsidiary to become a Borrower hereunder or for any Lender participating in a Tranche under which such Subsidiary may borrow to make Loans or otherwise extend credit to such Subsidiary as provided herein and (b) no Borrowing Subsidiary Termination will become effective as to any Borrowing Subsidiary until all Loans made to such Borrowing Subsidiary shall have been repaid, all Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrowing Subsidiary have been drawn in full or have expired and all amounts payable by such Borrowing Subsidiary in respect of LC Disbursements, interest and/or fees (and, to the extent notified by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any other amounts payable under this Agreement by such Borrowing Subsidiary other than solely pursuant to any guarantee by such Borrowing Subsidiary) shall have been paid in full; provided that such Borrowing Subsidiary Termination shall be effective to terminate such Borrowing Subsidiary’s right to request or receive further Borrowings or other extensions of credit under this Agreement. As soon as practicable upon receipt of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall send a copy thereof to each Global Tranche Lender or US Tranche Lender, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.21. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a);

(b) the Commitments and Revolving Credit Exposures of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.02); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of each Lender or each Lender affected thereby;

(i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Combined Tranche Percentages, but only to the extent that no non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit

Exposure of either Tranche after giving effect to such reallocation would exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment under such Tranche; and all or any part of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Combined Tranche Percentages, but only to the extent that no non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure of either Tranche after giving effect to such reallocation would exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment under such Tranche;

(ii) if the reallocations described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) prepay such Swingline Exposure and/or (y) cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks only the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and Section 2.11(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with the amounts of such LC Exposure allocated to the non-Defaulting Lenders; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Banks or any other Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit fees payable under Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Banks until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related Swingline Exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.21(c), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders of the applicable Tranche in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swingline Lender or an Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and such Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender, reasonably satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitments and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the US Tranche Loans (other than Swingline Loans) and/or Global Tranche Loans (other than Swingline Loans) of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for the Lenders to hold such Loans in accordance with their applicable Tranche Percentages.

All such owned properties and

assets, and all such leasehold interests, are free and clear of Liens, other than Liens expressly permitted under Section 6.02.

(b) The Company and each Subsidiary owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business, and the use thereof by the Company and the Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

On the Closing Date, (a) the fair value of the assets of each Loan Party exceeds its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of each Loan Party is greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of its debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (c) each Loan Party is able to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (d) no Loan Party has unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date.

Not more than 25% of the assets subject to the restrictions of Sections 6.02 and 6.03 or any other provision hereof restricting the disposition of, or creation of Liens on, assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries will at any time consist of Margin Stock (as defined in Regulations U and X of the Board).

No Loan Party (i) is a Sanctioned Person, (ii) has more than 15% of its assets in Sanctioned Entities, or (iii) derives more than 15% of its operating income from investments in, or transactions with Sanctioned Persons or Sanctioned Entities.

office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

The Administrative Agent and, to the extent expressly provided herein, the Canadian Agent and the London Agent are hereby expressly authorized by the Lenders and each Issuing Bank, without hereby limiting any implied authority, (a) to receive on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks all payments of principal of and interest on the Loans, all payments in respect of LC Disbursements and all other amounts due to the Lenders hereunder, and promptly to distribute to each Lender or Issuing Bank its proper share of each payment so received; (b) to give notice on behalf of each of the Lenders to the Company of any Event of Default specified in this Agreement of which the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge acquired in connection with its role as the Administrative Agent hereunder; and (c) to distribute to each Lender copies of all notices, financial statements and other materials delivered by the Company or any other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents as received by the Administrative Agent.

fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise upon receipt of notice in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and no Agent shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the institution serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Company or a Lender, and no Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the revolving credit facility provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in this paragraph, any Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such

documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

ARTICLE IX

Guarantee

In order to induce the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the Issuing Banks to issue the Letters of Credit, the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations. The Company further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its Guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of any Obligation. Each and every default in payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on any Obligation shall give rise to a separate cause of action hereunder, and separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of action arises. The Company waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to any Borrowing Subsidiary or any other Loan Party of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment.

The obligations of the Company hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations, any impossibility in the performance of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Company hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Lender, any Issuing Bank, any Agent or any other Person to whom any of the Obligations are or shall be owed (collectively, the “Guarantee Beneficiaries”) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, (b) any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations, (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or release from any of the terms or provisions of, this Agreement, any Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, (d) any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations or (e) any other act, omission or delay to do any other act which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Company or otherwise operate as a discharge of the Company as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations) or which would impair or eliminate any right of the Company to subrogation.

The Company further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (whether or not any bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall have stayed the accrual or collection of any of the Obligations or operated as a discharge thereof) and not merely of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Guarantee Beneficiary to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Guarantee Beneficiary in favor of any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any other Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower or any other Loan Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations. The Guarantee Beneficiaries may, at their election, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Borrower or any other Loan Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any Borrower or any other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of the Company hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company waives any

defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Company against any Borrower or any other Loan Party, as the case may be.

The Company further agrees that its guarantee hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Guarantee Beneficiary upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that any Guarantee Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against the Company by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Borrowing Subsidiary or any other Loan Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, the Company hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by any Agent, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Applicable Agent for distribution to the applicable Guarantee Beneficiaries in cash an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such Obligations then due, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest and fees on such Obligations and (iii) all other monetary Obligations then due. The Company further agrees that if payment in respect of any Obligation shall be due in a currency other than US Dollars and/or at a place of payment other than New York and if, by reason of any Change in Law, disruption of currency or foreign exchange markets, war or civil disturbance or similar event, payment of such Obligation in such currency or at such place of payment shall be impossible or, in the judgment of any Guarantee Beneficiary, not consistent with the protection of its rights or interests, then, at the election of such Guarantee Beneficiary, the Company shall make payment of such Obligation in US Dollars (based upon the applicable Exchange Rate in effect on the date of payment) and/or in New York, and shall indemnify such Guarantee Beneficiary against any losses or expenses that it shall sustain as a result of such alternative payment.

Upon payment in full by the Company of any Obligation, each Lender shall, in a reasonable manner, assign to the Company the amount of such Obligation owed to it and so paid, such assignment to be pro tanto to the extent to which the Obligation in question was discharged by the Company, or make such disposition thereof as the Company shall direct (all without recourse to any Guarantee Beneficiary and without any representation or warranty by any Guarantee Beneficiary).

Upon payment by the Company of any sums to the Applicable Agent as provided above, all rights of the Company against any Borrowing Subsidiary or any other Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations owed by such Borrowing Subsidiary or such other Loan Party to the Guarantee Beneficiaries.

Nothing shall discharge or satisfy the liability of the Company hereunder except the full performance and payment of the Obligations.

Each reference herein to any Guarantee Beneficiary shall be deemed to include their or its successors and assigns, in whose favor the provisions of this Guarantee shall also inure.

SECTION 10.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an

agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Company and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase any Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the date of any scheduled payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be), (vi) release (A) the Company from its obligations as a Guarantor hereunder or (B) all or substantially all the other Guarantors from their obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) subordinate the Obligations to any other Indebtedness without the consent of each affected Lender, or (viii) change any provision of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments or prepayments due to Lenders with Commitments or Obligations of any Class differently than those with Commitments or Obligations of any other Class, without the written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of the adversely affected Class; provided further that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender without the prior written consent of such Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be and (B) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of one Tranche (but not of the other Tranche) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Company and requisite percentage in interest of the affected Lenders under the applicable Tranche. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Company, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent (and, if their rights or obligations are affected thereby, the other Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lenders) if (i) by the terms of such agreement the applicable Commitment or Commitments of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (b), any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Company and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment.

SECTION 10.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Arrangers, the Agents and their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Arrangers and the Agents, in connection with the syndication of the revolving credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued

hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

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

(c) Each Revolving Lender severally agrees to the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by them to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, to pay to such Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures and unused Commitments at the time.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrowers shall not, and shall not permit their Subsidiaries to, assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

(e) Notwithstanding any reference in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section to the joint and several liability of the Borrowers, each Swiss Borrowing Subsidiary shall be liable under this Section 10.03 only for amounts attributable directly to such Swiss Borrowing Subsidiary and its own direct or indirect Subsidiaries.

SECTION 10.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any such attempted assignment or transfer by a Borrower or a Guarantor without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties

hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) of this Section, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment under any Tranche and the Loans and other amounts at the time owing to it under any Tranche) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

(A) the Company; provided that no consent of the Company shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and

(B) the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender with a Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than US$5,000,000 unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents; provided that no such consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment of a Commitment and extensions of credit under a Tranche shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under such Tranche;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrowers, the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or the Company’s securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with

this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower, any Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment under any Tranche and the Loans and other amounts at the time owing to it under any Tranche); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (C) the Borrowers, the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 2.17(e) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participants. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 10.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to clause (c)(ii) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the applicable Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the applicable Borrower, to comply with Section 2.17(f) as though it were a Lender.

(iii) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto;

(d) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section, with respect to any Swiss Borrowing Subsidiary, each Global Tranche Lender represents and warrants that:

(i) it is and will remain a Qualifying Bank;

(ii) it will not (within the meaning of paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section) (A) make any assignment of, (B) sell a participation in, (C) pledge or assign a security interest in, or (D) otherwise transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under a Global Tranche Commitment, a Loan to, or a participation in an LC Disbursement for the account of, any Swiss Borrowing Subsidiary, in each case to a Person that (x) has not represented in writing that it is and will remain a Qualifying Bank and (y) agreed in writing that it will not make further assignments, transfers, or sales of participations and sub-participations in any of such interests and will not enter into any other arrangements under which it substantially transfers its rights and obligations under this Agreement, other than to or with Persons who themselves represent in writing that they are and will remain Qualifying Banks and agree to observe identical restrictions, except, in each case set forth above, with the prior written consent of the Company and each Swiss Borrowing Subsidiary (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, but it being understood that such consent will be deemed reasonably withheld if such assignment would result in a breach of the Swiss Withholding Tax Rules). For the avoidance of doubt, it shall be specified that nothing in the present paragraph shall prevent any Lender that is a creditor under a Global Tranche Commitment, a Loan to, or a participation in a LC Disbursement for the account of, any Swiss Borrowing Subsidiary, to enter into a participation or sub-participation agreement or any other arrangement with any Person that is not a Qualifying Bank, provided that (A) under such agreement throughout the life of such arrangement (a) the relationship between the Lender and that other Person is that of debtor and creditor (including in the bankruptcy or similar event of that Lender), (b) the other Person will have no proprietary interest in any Loan to or LC Disbursement for the account of any Swiss Borrowing Subsidiary or in any monies received by the Lender in relation to any Loan to or LC Disbursement for the account of any Swiss Borrowing Subsidiary held by that Lender, and (c) the other Person will under no circumstances (other than by way of permitted transfer under paragraph (b)(ii)(C) of this Section) be subrogated to, or substituted in respect of, the Lender’s claims under any Loan to or LC Disbursement for the account of any Swiss Borrowing Subsidiary or otherwise have any contractual relationship with, or rights against, the Swiss Borrowing Subsidiary under or in relation to, any Loan to or LC Disbursement for the account of any Swiss Borrowing Subsidiary and (B) any such participation, sub-participation, or arrangement would not result in a relevant participation and/or sub-participation for the purposes of the Swiss Withholding Tax Rules.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10.04, all assignments and purchases of rights and obligations under this Agreement (including portions of Commitments and Loans under any Tranche) following an Event of Default with respect to the Company under Section 7.01(h) or (i), if consented to by the Administrative Agent or made pursuant to an agreement to which the Administrative Agent is a party, will constitute permitted assignments under paragraph (b) of this Section, will not be subject to any of the other restrictions or conditions set forth in such paragraph (b), will be recognized and given effect for all purposes of this Agreement and will not require any consent of the Company or any other Borrower. Each Borrower and each Lender agrees from time to time to execute and deliver to the Agents all such promissory notes and other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to evidence and confirm the respective interests and obligations of the Lenders after giving effect to any such assignments, and each Lender agrees to surrender any promissory

notes originally received by it hereunder to the Administrative Agent against delivery of any promissory notes so executed and delivered; provided that the failure of any Borrower to execute or deliver or of any Lender to accept any such promissory note, instrument or document shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of any such assignments.

SECTION 10.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated in full. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 10.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof (but do not supersede the provisions of any fee letter or any provisions of any commitment letter that by the terms of such document survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement). Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 10.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrowers at the time existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including any other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 10.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York

County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

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

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

SECTION 10.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY or thereby (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 10.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 10.12. Confidentiality. (a) Each Agent, Issuing Bank and Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party to this Agreement, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (vii) with the consent of the Company or (viii) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Company relating to the Company or its business, other than any such information that is

available to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

(b) Each Lender acknowledges that Information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement may include material non-public information concerning the Borrowers and their Related Parties or the Company’s securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

(c) All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about the Borrowers, the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or the Company’s securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

SECTION 10.13. Conversion of Currencies. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

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

SECTION 10.14. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 10.15. U.S.A. PATRIOT Act. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 10.16. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Company, on behalf of itself and the Subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrower, the Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.

SECTION 10.17. Non-Public Information. (a) Each Lender acknowledges that all information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to or in connection with, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain MNPI. Each Lender represents to each Borrower and the Administrative Agent that (i) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of MNPI and that it will handle MNPI in accordance with such procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws, and (ii) it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain MNPI in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws.

(b) Each Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that, if information furnished by any Borrower pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement is being distributed by the Administrative Agent through IntraLinks/IntraAgency, SyndTrak or another website or other information platform (the “Platform”), (i) the Administrative Agent may post any information that such Borrower has indicated as containing MNPI solely on that portion of the Platform as is designated for Private Side Lender Representatives and (ii) if any Borrower has not indicated whether any information furnished by it pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement contains MNPI, the Administrative Agent shall post such information solely on that portion of the Platform as is designated for Private Side Lender Representatives.

(c) Each Borrower agrees to specify whether any information furnished by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in connection with, this Agreement contains MNPI.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

Certain Transactions with Affiliates

Spectra Systems Corporation (SSC)

The Company made an investment of approximately $4 million in 1997 in this entity, which is engaged in the development of textiles using dispersed laser technology. At the same time, the Company entered into an exclusive supply arrangement pursuant to which SSC is obligated to purchase all of its monofilament or textile products from the Company, and to pay certain royalties to the Company on sales of SSC products that incorporate materials supplied by the Company. SSC also granted to the Company an exclusive license to use SSC products in paper machine clothing and related products. In addition, the Company’s subsidiary, Albany International Research Co., has provided research and technical support to SSC. The remaining interests of SSC are not, to the Company’s best knowledge, held by Affiliates of the Company. As of December 31, 2009, the Company was no longer engaged in any commercial or other business activities with SSC. Any future dealings (which are not anticipated) would be at arm’s length.

Nevo Cloth Ltd.

Albany Nordiskafilt AB, the Company’s principal Swedish subsidiary, established a 50/50 equity joint venture with a local Russian partner to gain a manufacturing presence in Russia in the Company’s core paper machine clothing business. Albany Nordiskafilt supplies paper machine clothing and related products to this entity for resale to customers in Russia. The other shareholder is not, to the Company’s best knowledge, an Affiliate of the Company.
