Agent Advances may be made by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and no Borrower shall have any right whatsoever to require that any Agent Advances be made. Agent Advances will be subject to periodic settlement with the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.01(c).

(New York City time) at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of Borrowing of each such Base Rate Loan to be incurred hereunder. Each such notice (each, a “ Notice of Borrowing ”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10, shall be irrevocable and shall be in writing, or by telephone promptly confirmed in writing, in the form of Exhibit A-1, appropriately completed to specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing (stated in the Available Currency in which such Revolving Loan is to be made), (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) whether the Revolving Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing constitute Agent Advances (it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to make such Agent Advance), (iv) in the case of U.S. Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans, whether the Revolving Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Base Rate Loans or, to the extent permitted hereunder, LIBOR Loans and, if LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto and (v) the applicable Borrowing Base at such time.

(c) Without in any way limiting the obligation of any Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice of any Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment, as the case may be, believed by the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of such Borrower, prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each such case, such Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s or the Swingline Lender’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, as the case may be, absent manifest error.

All such amounts will be made available in U.S. Dollars (in the case of Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars), in Euros (in the case of Euro Denominated Loans) or in the applicable Acceptable Foreign Currency (in the case of Foreign Currency Denominated Loans), as the case may be, and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, and the Administrative Agent will, except in the case of Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing or as otherwise provided in the last sentence of Section 3.05(a), make available to the relevant Borrower or Borrowers to such account as the applicable Borrower or Borrowers may specify in writing to the Administrative Agent prior to the requested Borrowing date, the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders; provided that, if, on the date of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans (other than a Mandatory Borrowing), there are Unpaid Drawings or Swingline Loans then outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first , to the payment in full of any such Unpaid Drawings with respect to Letters of Credit, second , to the payment in full of any such Swingline Loans, and third , to the relevant Borrower as otherwise provided above. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower or Borrowers a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower or Borrowers, and the relevant Borrower or Borrowers shall promptly (but in any event within one Business Day) pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent.

otherwise applicable to such Loans for each day thereafter and (ii) if recovered from the relevant Borrower or Borrowers, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 2.08. Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder.

Each Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.15 and shall, if requested by such Lender, also be evidenced (i) in the case of U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by each U.S. Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “ U.S. Borrower Revolving Note ” and, collectively, the “ U.S. Borrower Revolving Notes ”), (ii) in the case of Dutch Borrower Revolving Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by each Dutch Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “ Dutch Borrower Revolving Note ” and, collectively, the “ Dutch Borrower Revolving Notes ” and, together with the U.S. Borrower Revolving Notes, the “ Revolving Notes ”), (iii) in the case of U.S. Borrower Swingline Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by each U.S. Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (the “ U.S. Borrower Swingline Note ”), and (iv) in the case of Dutch Borrower Swingline Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by each Dutch Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-4, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “ Dutch Borrower Swingline Note ” and, together with the U.S. Borrower Swingline Note, the “ Swingline Notes ”).

(a) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and prior to any transfer of any of its Notes will endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation or any error in such notation shall not affect any Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request, obtain, maintain or produce a Note evidencing its Loans to any Borrower shall affect, or in any manner impair, the obligations of any Borrower to pay the Loans (and all related Obligations) incurred by such Borrower which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to any Credit Document. Any Lender which does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding clause (b). At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, each respective Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender, at such Borrower’s expense, the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans.

2.06. Conversions . Each Borrower shall have the option to convert, on any Business Day, all or a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of U.S. Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans made to it pursuant to one or more Borrowings of one or more Types of U.S. Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans into a Borrowing of another Type of U.S. Dollar Denominated Revolving Loan; provided that, (a) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(b), LIBOR Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Revolving Loans being converted unless the Borrowers pay any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11 as a result of such conversion and no such partial conversion of

LIBOR Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (b) Base Rate Loans may not be converted into LIBOR Loans if any Event of Default is in existence on the proposed date of conversion and either the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders have elected, upon notice to the Borrowers, to not permit such conversion in its or their sole discretion, and (c) no conversion pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of LIBOR Loans than is permitted under Section 2.02. Each such conversion shall be effected by the relevant Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) at least (i) in the case of conversions of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans, three Business Days’ (or, with respect to Loans denominated in Euros or an Acceptable Foreign Currency, four Business Days’) prior written notice or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing and (ii) in the case of conversions of LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans, one Business Day’s prior written notice or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing (each, a “ Notice of Conversion/Continuation ”), in each case in the form of Exhibit A-2, appropriately completed to specify the U.S. Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans to be so converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such U.S. Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans were incurred and, if to be converted into LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its U.S. Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans.

2.07. Pro Rata Borrowings . Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all Borrowings of Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Revolving Loan Commitments, provided that all Mandatory Borrowings shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their RL Percentages. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

2.08. Interest . (a) The U.S. Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each U.S. Borrower Loan and (y) the Dutch Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Dutch Borrower Loan, in each case as follows:

(A) in the case of a Base Rate Loan, from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise), repayment or prepayment and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 or 2.09, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate, each as in effect from time to time; and

(B) in the case of a LIBOR Loan, from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise), repayment or prepayment and (ii) the conversion of such LIBOR Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.09 or 2.10, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal or interest on any Loan, any Letter of Credit fee or any other amount payable by a Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% in excess of the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans from time to time. Interest that accrues under this Section 2.08(b) shall be payable on demand.

(c) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, (x) quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment in full of all outstanding Base Rate Loans or upon the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, and (z) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand and (ii) in respect of each LIBOR Loan, (x) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), or upon the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, and (z) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

(d) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the LIBO Rate for each Interest Period applicable to the respective LIBOR Loans and shall promptly notify the respective Borrowers and the Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

2.09. Interest Periods . At the time any Borrower gives any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any LIBOR Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day (or with respect to any Loan denominated in Euros or an Acceptable Foreign Currency, the fourth Business Day) prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), such Borrower shall have the right to elect the interest period (each, an “ Interest Period ”) applicable to such LIBOR Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of such Borrower, be (x) a one, two, three or six month period, or (y) with the consent of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, a period of less than one month or (z) to the extent agreed to by all Lenders, such other period; provided that (in each case):

(a) all LIBOR Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period;

(b) the initial Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such LIBOR Loan (including the date of any conversion thereto from a Base Rate Loan) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such LIBOR Loan shall commence on the day on which the immediately preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

(c) if any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

(d) if any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided , however , that if any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding Business Day;

(e) no Interest Period may be selected at any time when an Event of Default is then in existence if either the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders have elected, upon notice to the Borrowers, to not permit such selection in its or their sole discretion; and

(f) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing shall be selected which extends beyond the Final Maturity Date.

If by 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day (or with respect to any Loan denominated in Euros or an Acceptable Foreign Currency, the fourth Business Day) prior to the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, any Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Loans as provided above, such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected (i) in respect of U.S. Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans to convert such LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period and (ii) in respect of Loans denominated in Euros or an Acceptable Foreign Currency, a one-month Interest Period ( provided that with respect to this clause (ii), if the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders have elected not to permit the selection of an Interest Period pursuant to clause (e) above, then on the expiration of the then-applicable Interest Period, such Loans shall be repaid).

2.10. Increased Costs, Illegality, etc . (a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent):

(i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBO Rate; or

(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Loan because of any change since the Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, but not limited to: (A) any change that would subject the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any taxes (except for Taxes 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, (B) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the LIBO Rate or (C) any change that imposes on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has been made (A) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (B) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law) or (C) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Effective Date which materially and adversely affects the London interbank market.

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to the affected Borrowers and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (w) in the case of clause (i) above, LIBOR Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by any Borrower with respect to LIBOR Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by such Borrower, (x) in the case of clause (ii) above, the U.S. Borrowers (jointly and severally with respect to U.S. Borrower Obligations)

and the Dutch Borrowers (jointly and severally with respect to Dutch Borrower Obligations) agree to pay to such Lender, within 10 days after the Company’s receipt of such Lender’s written request therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the respective Borrower by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto); provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(ii) for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of the change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided , further , that, if the change 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 and (y) in the case of clause (iii) above, the respective Borrower or Borrowers shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

(b) At any time that any LIBOR Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii), the affected Borrower may, and in the case of a LIBOR Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(iii), such Borrower shall, either (i) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that such Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), (ii) in respect of a LIBOR Loan denominated in U.S. Dollars where the affected LIBOR Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert such LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan; provided that, if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) or (iii) in respect of a LIBOR Loan denominated in Euros or an Acceptable Foreign Currency, repay such Loan upon the expiration of the then-applicable Interest Period (or such earlier period as required by applicable law).

(c) If any Lender determines that after the Effective Date the introduction of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy or liquidity, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the U.S. Borrowers (jointly and severally with respect to U.S. Borrower Obligations) and the Dutch Borrowers (jointly and severally with respect to Dutch Borrower Obligations) agree to pay to such Lender, within 10 days after the Company’s receipt of such Lender’s written request therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital or required liquidity. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable; provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Company, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish the

Borrowers’ obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of the change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further , that, if the change 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.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, in each case shall be deemed to be a change after the Effective Date in a requirement of law or governmental rule, regulation or order, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented (including for purposes of this Section 2.10 and Section 3.06).

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the introduction of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation or order shall make it unlawful for any Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any extension of credit to a Dutch Borrower or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement with respect to any extension of credit to a Dutch Borrower, then, upon written notice by such Lender (each such Lender providing such notice, an “ Impacted Lender ”) to the Company and the Administrative Agent:

(i) the obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make extensions of credit to such Dutch Borrower shall forthwith be (x) suspended until each Impacted Lender notifies the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing that it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any extension of credit to such Dutch Borrower or (y) to the extent required by law, cancelled;

(ii) if it shall be unlawful for any Impacted Lender to maintain or charge interest with respect to any outstanding Loan to such Dutch Borrower, such Dutch Borrower shall repay (or at its option and to the extent permitted by law, assign to the Company) (x) all outstanding Base Rate Loans made to such Dutch Borrower within three Business Days or such earlier period as required by law and (y) all outstanding LIBOR Loans made to such Dutch Borrower on the last day of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such LIBOR Loans or within such earlier period as required by law; and

(iii) if it shall be unlawful for any Impacted Lender to maintain, charge interest or hold any participation with respect to any Letter of Credit issued on behalf of such Dutch Borrower, such Dutch Borrower shall cash collateralize in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to 102% of such Lender’s RL Percentage of the Letter of Credit Outstandings (for this purpose, using the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of amounts denominated in Euros or any Acceptable Foreign Currency) with respect to such Letter of Credit within three Business Days or within such earlier period as required by law.

2.11. Compensation . The U.S. Borrowers (on a joint and several basis with respect to U.S. Borrower Obligations) or the Dutch Borrowers (on a joint and several basis with respect to Dutch Borrower Obligations), as the case may be, agree to compensate each Lender, upon its written request

(which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its LIBOR Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (a) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, LIBOR Loans by the applicable Borrower does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by the respective Borrower or Borrowers or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.10(a)); (b) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 2.10(b), 2.10(e), Section 5.01, Section 5.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 11 or an assignment pursuant to Section 2.13) or conversion of any of its LIBOR Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period or maturity date, as applicable, with respect thereto; (c) if any prepayment of any of its LIBOR Loans by the applicable Borrower is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the respective Borrower or Borrowers; or (d) as a consequence of (i) any other default by the respective Borrower or Borrowers to repay LIBOR Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender or (ii) any election made pursuant to Section 2.10(b).

(a) Each Lender may at any time or from time to time designate, by written notice to the Administrative Agent to the extent not already reflected on Schedule 13.03, one or more lending offices (which, for this purpose, may include Affiliates of the respective Lender) for the various Loans in the Available Currency made, and Letters of Credit participated in, by such Lender (including by designating a separate lending office (or Affiliate) to act as such with respect to such Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings); provided that, for designations made after the Effective Date, to the extent such designation shall result in increased costs or taxes under Section 2.10, 3.06 or 5.04 in excess of those which would be charged in the absence of the designation of a different lending office (including a different Affiliate of the respective Lender), then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such excess increased costs or taxes (although if such designation results in increased costs or taxes, the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay the costs and taxes which would have applied in the absence of such designation and any subsequent increased costs and taxes of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective designation). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, each lending office and Affiliate of any Lender designated as provided above shall, for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, be treated in the same manner as the respective designating Lender (and shall be entitled to all indemnities and similar provisions in respect of its acting as such hereunder).

(b) Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Company, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12(b) shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 2.10, 3.06 and 5.04.

2.13. Replacement of Lenders . (a) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or an Impacted Lender, (b) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender requesting additional amounts from the Borrowers pursuant to any such Sections, (c) in the case

of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement which has been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b) or (d) in the circumstances provided in Section 2.19(b), the Borrowers shall have the right, in accordance with Section 13.04(b), to replace such Lender (the “ Replaced Lender ”) with one or more other Eligible Transferees (collectively, the “ Replacement Lender ”) and each of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Lender; provided that:

(i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 13.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 13.04(b) to be paid by the Borrowers) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire at par the entire Revolving Loan Commitment and all outstanding Revolving Loans of, and all participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans by, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (i) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Revolving Loans of the respective Replaced Lender, (B) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 4.01, (ii) each Issuing Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Unpaid Drawing relating to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing) to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender and (iii) the Swingline Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Mandatory Borrowing to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender to the Swingline Lender; and

(ii) all obligations of the Borrowers then owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, but including all amounts, if any, owing under Section 2.11) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.

(b) Upon receipt by the Replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 2.13, if the Replaced Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption Agreement necessary to reflect such replacement by the later of (a) the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption Agreement and (b) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Replaced Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender and/or the Borrowers to such Replaced Lender, then the Replaced Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption Agreement as of such later date, and any such Assignment and Assumption Agreement so executed by the Replaced Lender shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.13 and Section 13.04.

2.14. Incremental Commitments . (a) The Company shall have the right, in consultation and coordination with the Administrative Agent as to all of the matters set forth below in this Section 2.14, but without requiring the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (except, in either case, as otherwise provided in this Section 2.14), to request at any time and from time to time after the Effective Date and prior to the Final Maturity Date that one or more Lenders (and/or one or more other Persons which are Eligible Transferees and which will become Lenders) provide Incremental Commitments and, subject to the applicable terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and the relevant Incremental Commitment Agreement, make Revolving Loans and participate in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans pursuant thereto; provided that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Commitment, and until such time, if any, as such Lender has agreed in its sole discretion to provide an Incremental Commitment and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Company and the other Borrowers an Incremental Commitment Agreement as provided in clause (b) of this Section 2.14, such Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Revolving Loans in excess of its Revolving Loan Commitment (if any) or participate in any Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans in excess of its RL Percentage, in each case, as in effect prior to giving effect to such Incremental Commitment provided pursuant to this Section 2.14 (it being understood and agreed that any Lender that does not agree to provide any such Incremental Commitment within ten Business Days after a request therefor (or such shorter period as may be provided in any such request for Incremental Commitments) shall be deemed to have declined to provide any such Incremental Commitment except to the extent such Lender thereafter executes and delivers an Incremental Commitment Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof), (ii) any Lender (including any Person which is an Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) may so provide an Incremental Commitment without the consent of any other Lender; provided that any Lender (or Person who is an Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) providing Incremental Commitments shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (iii) the aggregate amount of each request (and provision therefor) for Incremental Commitments shall be in a minimum aggregate amount for all Lenders which provide an Incremental Commitment pursuant to a given Incremental Commitment Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.14 (including Persons who are Eligible Transferees and will become Lenders) of at least $50,000,000 (or such lesser amount that is acceptable to the Administrative Agent), (iv) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Commitments permitted to be provided pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not exceed in the aggregate $250,000,000, (v) all Revolving Loans incurred pursuant to an Incremental Commitment (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents and shall be secured by the relevant Security Documents, and guaranteed under the relevant Guaranties, on a pari passu basis with all other Loans (and related Obligations) secured by each relevant Security Document and guaranteed under each relevant Guaranty, and (vi) each Lender (including any Person which is an Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) agreeing to provide an Incremental Commitment pursuant to an Incremental Commitment Agreement shall, subject to the satisfaction of the relevant conditions set forth in this Agreement, participate in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections 2.01(b) and 3.04, respectively, and make Revolving Loans as provided in Section 2.01(a) and such Revolving Loans shall constitute Revolving Loans for all purposes of this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents.

event shall be no earlier than the date on which (i) all fees required to be paid in connection therewith at the time of such effectiveness shall have been paid, (ii) all Incremental Commitment Requirements have been satisfied, (iii) all conditions set forth in this Section 2.14 shall have been satisfied and (iv) all other conditions precedent that may be set forth in such Incremental Commitment Agreement shall have been satisfied) and (II) the Company, each other Borrower, each Subsidiary Guarantor, the Collateral Agent and each Incremental Lender (as applicable) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent such additional Security Documents and/or amendments to the Security Documents which are necessary to ensure that all Loans incurred pursuant to the Incremental Commitments are secured by each relevant Security Document (the “ Incremental Security Documents ”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Commitment Agreement and, at such time, Schedule 1.01(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect the Incremental Commitments of such Incremental Lenders.

(c) It is understood and agreed that the Incremental Commitments provided by an Incremental Lender or Incremental Lenders, as the case may be, pursuant to each Incremental Commitment Agreement shall constitute part of, and be added to, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment and each Incremental Lender shall constitute a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement and each other applicable Credit Document.

(e) At the time of any provision of Incremental Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14, all dollar thresholds included in any determination made with respect to Excess Availability and the dollar amount of the Liquidity Threshold shall be increased automatically in an amount equal to the percentage by which the Incremental Commitments increase the Total Revolving Loan Commitment.

2.15. Defaulting Lenders . (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or in the other Credit Documents 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 and if any Swingline Loan Exposure or Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of such Swingline Loan Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure shall be reallocated among the Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective RL Percentages (calculated without regard to any Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment) but only to the extent (x) the sum of the Individual Exposures of all Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Loan Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the aggregate amount of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Loan Commitments and (y) immediately following the reallocation to a Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender, the Individual Exposure of such Lender does not exceed its Revolving Loan Commitment at such time;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first , prepay such Swingline Loan Exposure and (y) second , cash collateralize in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each applicable Issuing Lender such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in an aggregate amount equal to 102% of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding (the “ Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements ”) (it being understood that, for purposes of clarity, (x) such requirement shall terminate as to any Defaulting Lender upon the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender and (y) at the request of the Company, upon a determination by the Administrative Agent or the respective Issuing Lender that there exists cash collateral in excess of 102% of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure, such excess cash collateral may be returned to the applicable Borrowers so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or would result therefrom);

(iii) if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized pursuant to clause (ii) above, the applicable Borrowers shall not be required to pay the Letter of Credit Fees for participation with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure so long as it is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the Letter of Credit Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.15(a), then the Letter of Credit Fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 4.01(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ RL Percentages (calculated without regard to any Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment) and the Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to any Letter of Credit Fee; and

(v) if any Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.15(a), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Lender or any Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 4.01(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Lender until such Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.01(a) or Section 3, so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Loan Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral has been provided by the applicable Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.15(a), and (ii) participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.15(a)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in Section 5.4 of the U.S. Security Agreement, Section 5.4 of the Dutch General Security Agreement, Section 5.3 of the Dutch Inventory Security Agreement or Section 6.3 of the Dutch Receivables Security Agreement, any amount payable to a Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.02) may, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account and, subject to any requirements of applicable law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent

(i) first , to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second , pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lenders or the Swingline Lender hereunder, (iii) third , to the funding of any Loan or the funding or cash collateralization of any participation in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (iv) fourth , if so determined by the Administrative Agent, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (v) fifth , to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (vi) sixth , so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and (vii) seventh , to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or repayments of Unpaid Drawings in respect of which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7 are satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and reimbursement obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or Unpaid Drawings owed to, any Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this clause (c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(d) In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Company, each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then (i) the Swingline Loan Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitments and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its RL Percentage and (ii) so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, all funds held as cash collateral pursuant to the Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements shall thereafter be promptly returned to the applicable Borrowers; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed to by the affected parties, no change hereunder from a Defaulting Lender to a Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against such Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. If the Revolving Loan Commitments have been terminated, all Obligations have been paid in full and no Letters of Credit are outstanding, then all funds held as cash collateral pursuant to the Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements shall thereafter be promptly returned to the applicable Borrowers.

2.18. The Company as Agent for Borrowers . Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent and attorney-in-fact for all purposes under this Agreement and each other Credit Document, which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by the respective appointing Borrower that such appointment has been revoked. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and

authorizes the Company (i) to provide the Administrative Agent with all notices with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement or any other Credit Document and (ii) to take such action as the Company deems appropriate on its behalf to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. It is understood that the handling of the Credit Account and the Collateral of the respective Borrowers in a combined fashion (i.e., the U.S. Borrowers in a combined fashion and the Dutch Borrowers in a combined fashion), as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of the Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that the Lenders shall not incur liability to any Borrower as a result hereof. Each Borrower expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the Credit Account and the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the consolidated group.

2.19. Extension of Revolving Loan Commitments . (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, subject to the terms of this Section 2.19, the Company may extend the maturity date, and otherwise modify the terms of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, or any portion thereof (including by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of any Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments or any portion thereof (and related outstandings) (the “ Extension ”) pursuant to a written offer (the “ Extension Offer ”) made by the Company to all Lenders, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective outstanding Revolving Loans and unfunded Revolving Loan Commitments) and on the same terms to each such Lender. In connection with the Extension, (i) the Company will provide notification to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders), (ii) the Swingline Lender and (iii) each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, wishing to participate in the Extension shall, prior to the date (the “ Notice Date ”) specified in the notice (which shall be at least 10 Business Days after delivery of the notice) given by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, provide the Administrative Agent with a written notice thereof in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Any Lender that does not respond to the Extension Offer by the Notice Date shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company of each Lender’s determination under this Section 2.19(a). The election of any Lender to agree to the Extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree. After giving effect to the Extension, the Revolving Loan Commitments so extended shall cease to be a part of the tranche of the Revolving Loan Commitments they were a part of immediately prior to the Extension and shall be a new tranche of Extended Revolving Loan Commitments hereunder.

(b) The Company shall have the right to replace each Lender that shall have rejected (or be deemed to have rejected) the Extension under Section 2.19(a) with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more Replacement Lenders as provided in Section 2.13; provided that each of such Replacement Lenders shall enter into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to which such Replacement Lender shall, effective as of a closing date selected by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Company (which shall occur on the same date as the effectiveness of the Extension as to the Lenders which have consented thereto pursuant to Section 2.19(a)), undertake the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Replaced Lender (and, if any such Replacement Lender is already a Lender, its Revolving Loan Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment hereunder on such date).

(i) except as to interest rates, utilization fees, unused fees and final maturity, the Revolving Loan Commitment of any Lender extended pursuant to the Extension (the “ Extended Revolving Loan Commitment ”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Revolving Loan Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original Revolving Loan

Commitments (and related outstandings); provided that, subject to the provisions of Sections 3.07 and 2.01(f) to the extent dealing with Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit which mature or expire after the Initial Maturity Date, all Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated in on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Loan Commitments and/or Extended Revolving Loan Commitments in accordance with their RL Percentages (and except as provided in Sections 3.07 and 2.01(f), without giving effect to changes thereto on the Initial Maturity Date with respect to Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued) and all borrowings under Revolving Loan Commitments and Extended Revolving Loan Commitments and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (x) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Loan Commitments (and related outstandings) and (y) repayments required upon any Final Maturity Date of any tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments or Extended Revolving Loan Commitments);

(ii) if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loan Commitments in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loan Commitments offered to be extended by the Company pursuant to the Extension Offer, then the Revolving Loan Commitments of such Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted the Extension Offer;

(iii) all documentation in respect of the Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, and all written communications by the Company generally directed to the Lenders in connection therewith shall be in form consistent with the foregoing and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; and

(iv) the Extension shall not become effective unless, on the proposed effective date of the Extension, (x) the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer of each Credit Party dated the applicable date of the Extension and executed by an Authorized Officer of such Credit Party certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Credit Party approving or consenting to such Extension and (y) the conditions set forth in Sections 7.01 and 7.03 shall be satisfied (with all references in such Section to any Credit Event being deemed to be references to the Extension on the applicable date of the Extension) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated the applicable date of the Extension and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Company.

(d) With respect to the Extension consummated by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.19, (i) the Extension shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of this Agreement (including Section 5.01, 5.02, 5.03, 13.02 or 13.06), (ii) if the amount extended is less than the Maximum Letter of Credit Amount, the Maximum Letter of Credit Amount shall be reduced upon the date that is five Business Days prior to the Initial Maturity Date (to the extent needed so that the Maximum Letter of Credit Amount does not exceed the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments which would be in effect after the Initial Maturity Date), and, if applicable, the Company shall cash collateralize obligations under any issued Letters of Credit with a termination date (taking into account any possible extensions thereof) later than five Business Days prior to the Initial Maturity Date in an amount equal to 102% of the Stated Amount of such Letters of Credit that are in excess of the proposed reduced Maximum Letter of Credit Amount, and (iii) if the amount extended is less than the Maximum Swingline Amount, the Maximum Swingline Amount shall be reduced upon the date that is five Business Days prior to the Initial Maturity Date (to the extent needed so that the Maximum Swingline Amount does not exceed the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments which

would be in effect after the Initial Maturity Date), and, if applicable, the Company shall prepay any outstanding Swingline Loans in excess of the Maximum Swingline Amount that is then in effect. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Extensions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.19 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest or fees in respect of any Extended Revolving Loan Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Section 5.01, 5.02, 5.03, 13.02 or 13.06) or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit the Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.19; provided that such consent shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of the Extension Offer.

(e) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent on behalf of all of the Lenders to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Credit Parties as may be necessary in order establish new tranches in respect of Revolving Loan Commitments so extended and such amendments as may be necessary in connection with the establishment of such new tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.19 and without any requirement of additional consent by any Lender. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with the Extension, the respective parties shall (at the expense of the Credit Parties) amend (and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to amend) any Credit Document that has a maturity date prior to the Extended Final Maturity Date so that such maturity date is extended to the Extended Final Maturity Date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Administrative Agent).

(f) In connection with the Extension, the Company shall provide the Administrative Agent at least 10 Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be reasonably established by, or reasonably acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.19.

(i) (x) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit or any requirement of law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect with respect to such Issuing Lender on the date hereof, (y) the issuance of such Letter of Credit shall contradict any internal policy of such Issuing Lender, or (z) any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable or in effect with respect to such Issuing Lender as of the date hereof and which such Issuing Lender reasonably and in good faith deems material to it; or

(vi) each Letter of Credit issued at the request of a Borrower shall be denominated in an Available Currency; and

(vii) each Letter of Credit shall by its terms terminate on or before the earlier of (i) the date which occurs 12 months after the date of the issuance thereof or such longer period as may be acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender (although any such standby Letter of Credit may be extendible for successive periods of up to 12 months, but, in each case, not beyond the fifth Business Day prior to the Final Maturity Date (but, for this purpose, determined without giving effect to the proviso contained in the definition of Initial Maturity Date), unless cash collateralized, prior to the extension of such Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to 102% of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit in a manner reasonably acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender) and (ii) five Business Days prior to the Final Maturity Date (but, for this purpose, determined without giving effect to the proviso contained in the definition of Initial Maturity Date) unless cash collateralized, prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to 102% of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit in a manner reasonably acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender.

(b) At any time, and from time to time, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, the Company shall be permitted, if no Loans are then outstanding, to provide cash collateral in respect of any or all of the then outstanding Letters of Credit (each such Letter of Credit, a “ Collateralized Letter of Credit ”) in an amount equal to 102% of the Stated Amount of such Letters of Credit in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lender and, solely for purposes of determining whether a Compliance Period exists at such time, the undrawn Stated Amount of such Collateralized Letters of Credit shall be excluded from the calculation of Letter of Credit Outstandings for purposes of calculating the Aggregate Exposure and Excess Availability at such time. At any time that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company may request that the cash collateral provided in respect of the Collateralized Letters of Credit be released and, upon such release, such Letters of Credit will again be included in the calculation of Letter of Credit Outstandings for all purposes of calculating the Aggregate Exposure and Excess Availability. Furthermore, to the extent that any Borrower thereafter desires to incur Loans hereunder or have additional Letters of Credit issued hereunder (or increase the Stated Amount of any then outstanding Letter of Credit) as permitted by Section 7.04, all Collateralized Letters of Credit will again be included in the calculation of Letter of Credit Outstandings for all purposes of calculating the Aggregate Exposure and Excess Availability.

3.03. Letter of Credit Requests . (a) Whenever a Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for (i) in the case of a request for a Letter of Credit by a U.S. Borrower, for the joint and several account of the U.S. Borrowers, and (ii) in the case of a request for a Letter of Credit by a Dutch Borrower, for the joint and several account of the Dutch Borrowers, such Borrower shall give the respective Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to such Issuing Lender) written notice thereof (including by way of facsimile or electronic mail). Each notice shall be in the form of Exhibit C, appropriately completed (each, a “ Letter of Credit Request ”), and shall be accompanied by the respective Issuing Lender’s customary application and documentation, if any, to the extent required by such Issuing Lender.

(b) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by such requesting Borrower to the Lenders that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.02 or 3.03. Unless the respective Issuing Lender has received notice from the Administrative Agent, any Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified in Section 6 or 7 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.02 or 3.03, then such Issuing Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of such Borrower in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices. Upon the issuance of or modification or amendment to any standby Letter of Credit, each Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower to be named as account party therein and the Administrative Agent, in writing of such issuance, modification or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or the respective modification or amendment thereto, as the case may be. Promptly after receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall notify the Participants, in writing, of such issuance, modification or amendment. On the first Business Day of each week, each Issuing Lender shall furnish the Administrative Agent with a written (including via facsimile) report of the daily aggregate outstandings of trade Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for the immediately preceding week.

3.04. Letter of Credit Participations . (a) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each such Lender (in its capacity under this Section 3.04, a “ Participant ”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Participant’s RL Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of the U.S. Borrowers or the Dutch Borrowers, as the case may be, under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Revolving Loan Commitments or RL Percentages of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 or 13.04(b), it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings relating thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 3.04 to reflect the new RL Percentages of the assignor and assignee Lender, as the case may be.

(b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation relative to the other Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it shall not create for such Issuing Lender any resulting liability to any Borrower, any other Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(c) In the event that an Issuing Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the U.S. Borrowers or the Dutch Borrowers, as applicable, shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.05(a), such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to such Issuing Lender the amount of such Participant’s RL Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in U.S. Dollars (or, in the

case of any unreimbursed payment made in Euros or an Acceptable Foreign Currency, such currency) and in same day funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies, prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on any Business Day, any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make available to the respective Issuing Lender in U.S. Dollars (or, in the case of any unreimbursed payment made in Euros or an Acceptable Foreign Currency, such currency) such Participant’s RL Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds. If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so made its RL Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the respective Issuing Lender, such Participant agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to such Issuing Lender at the overnight Federal Funds Rate (or, in the case of any unreimbursed payment made in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, at the respective Issuing Lender’s customary rate for interbank advances) for the first three days and at the interest rate applicable to U.S. Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans for each day thereafter. The failure of any Participant to make available to an Issuing Lender its RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to such Issuing Lender its RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make available to such Issuing Lender such other Participant’s RL Percentage of any such payment.

(d) Whenever an Issuing Lender receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has received any payments from the Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, such Issuing Lender shall pay to each such Participant which has paid its RL Percentage thereof, in U.S. Dollars (or, in the case of any unreimbursed payment made in Euros or an Acceptable Foreign Currency, such currency) and in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.

(e) Upon the request of any Participant, each Issuing Lender shall furnish to such Participant copies of any standby Letter of Credit issued by it and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Participant.

(f) The obligations of the Participants to make payments to each Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including any of the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents;

(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Participant, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

(iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or

(v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, or the failure of any of the other conditions specified in Section 6 or 7 to be satisfied.

3.05. Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings . (a) (i) Each U.S. Borrower, in the case of a Letter of Credit issued for the account of a U.S. Borrower, hereby jointly and severally agrees, and (ii) each Dutch Borrower, in the case of a Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Dutch Borrower, hereby jointly and severally agrees, in each case, to reimburse each Issuing Lender, by making payment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, in U.S. Dollars (or, in the case of any unreimbursed payment made in Euros or an Acceptable Foreign Currency, such currency) in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, for any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by it for the account of any U.S. Borrower or any Dutch Borrower, as applicable (each such amount, so paid until reimbursed by such U.S. Borrower or such Dutch Borrower, as applicable, an “ Unpaid Drawing ”), not later than one Business Day following receipt by any U.S. Borrower or any Dutch Borrower, as the case may be, of notice of such payment or disbursement ( provided that no such notice shall be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Unpaid Drawing shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law)), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such payment or disbursement from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date such Issuing Lender was reimbursed by any U.S. Borrower or any Dutch Borrower, as applicable, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time for U.S. Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans; provided , however , to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day following the receipt by any U.S. Borrower or any Dutch Borrower, as applicable, of notice of such payment or disbursement or following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05, interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender (and until reimbursed by any U.S. Borrower or any Dutch Borrower, as applicable) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for U.S. Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans as in effect from time to time plus 2%, with such interest to be payable on demand. Amounts paid to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall be promptly disbursed to the applicable Issuing Lender. Each Issuing Lender shall give the applicable U.S. Borrowers or Dutch Borrowers, as the case may be, prompt written notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it for the account of such U.S. Borrowers or Dutch Borrowers, as the case may be; provided that the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the obligations of any such Borrower to reimburse such Unpaid Drawing. Each Drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless (x) the Company notifies the Administrative Agent in writing to the contrary, (y) the Borrowers are unable to satisfy the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Loans set forth in Section 7, or (z) (i) with respect to Drawings under Letters of Credit issued for the account of any U.S. Borrower, the Aggregate U.S. Borrower Exposure at such time exceeds 100% (or, during an Agent Advance Period, 105%) of the U.S. Borrowing Base at such time, (ii) with respect to Drawings under Letters of Credit issued for the account of any Dutch Borrower, the Aggregate Dutch Borrower Exposure at such time exceeds the 100% (or, during an Agent Advance Period, 105%) of the

Dutch Borrowing Base at such time, (iii) the Aggregate Exposure at such time exceeds the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time or (iv) during a Reduced Availability Period, Excess Availability is less than 10% of Availability at such time, in which case the procedures specified above in this Section 3.05 and in Section 3.04 for funding by the Participants shall apply) constitute a request by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a Borrowing of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.03(a) constituting Base Rate Loans (or, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender in their sole discretion, a Borrowing of Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.03(b)) in the amount of such Drawing, and the date with respect to such Borrowing shall be the date of payment of the relevant Drawing (it being understood that, in each such case, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (or the Swingline Lender, as applicable) thereof and the Lenders (or the Swingline Lender, as applicable) shall make available to the Administrative Agent their pro rata portion of such Borrowing (or, in the case of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will make available the full amount thereof) and the proceeds thereof shall be applied to reimburse the respective Issuing Lender for such Drawing).

(b) The joint and several obligations of the U.S. Borrowers, in the case of a Letter of Credit issued for the account of a U.S. Borrower, or the Dutch Borrowers, in the case of a Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Dutch Borrower, as the case may be, under this Section 3.05 to reimburse each Issuing Lender with respect to drafts, demands and other presentations for payment under Letters of Credit issued by it (each, a “ Drawing ”) (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Company, any other Borrower or any other Subsidiary of the Company may have or have had against any Lender (including in its capacity as an Issuing Lender or as a Participant), including any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Lender’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.

(c) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender at any time that any Letter of Credit is outstanding, the U.S. Borrowers or the Dutch Borrowers, as applicable, shall enter into Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements with the relevant Issuing Lender or Issuing Lenders no later than two Business Days after the date such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender to the extent required by Section 2.15(a).

3.06. Increased Costs . If at any time after the Effective Date, the introduction of or any change in any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, guideline or request or in the interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Issuing Lender or any Participant with any request or directive by the NAIC or by any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall either (a) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy, liquidity or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by any Issuing Lender or participated in by any Participant, or (b) impose on any Issuing Lender or any Participant any other conditions relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any Letter of Credit; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Issuing Lender or any Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Issuing Lender or any Participant hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit (except for Taxes and Excluded Taxes), then, within 10 days after the delivery of the certificate referred to below to the Borrowers by any Issuing Lender or any Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such

Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), the U.S. Borrowers (jointly and severally with respect to U.S. Borrower Obligations) and the Dutch Borrowers (jointly and severally with respect to Dutch Borrower Obligations) agree to pay to such Issuing Lender or such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant for such increased cost or reduction in the amount receivable or reduction on the rate of return on its capital. Any Issuing Lender or any Participant, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable to it pursuant to this Section 3.06, will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrowers, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the Borrowers by such Issuing Lender or such Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate any Issuing Lender or Participant pursuant to this Section 3.06 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Issuing Lender or Participant notifies the Company of the change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Issuing Lender’s or Participant’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided , further , that, if the change 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. The certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrowers.

3.07. Extended Revolving Loan Commitments . (a) If the Initial Maturity Date shall have occurred at a time when Extended Revolving Loan Commitments are in effect, then such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make payments in respect thereof pursuant to Sections 3.04 and 3.05) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders under the applicable tranche pursuant to) the Extended Revolving Loan Commitments up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Extended Revolving Loan Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated).

(b) To the extent not reallocated pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 3.07, but without limiting the obligations with respect thereto, the applicable Borrower shall either (i) provide cash collateral with respect to such Letters of Credit on the Initial Maturity Date in accordance with Section 3.02(b) or (ii) enter into backstop arrangements reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Lender. If, for any reason, such cash collateral is not provided, such backstop arrangements are not entered into and the reallocation does not occur, the Lenders under the maturing tranche shall continue to be responsible for their participating interests in the Letters of Credit; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (A) the continuing participations of the Lenders under the maturing tranche shall be included in the calculation of the Required Lenders (with each such Lender being deemed to have a Revolving Loan Commitment in the amount of such continued participation) and (B) upon any subsequent repayment of the Loans, the reallocation set forth in Section 3.07(a) shall automatically and concurrently occur to the extent of such repayment.

(c) Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to Section 3.07(a), the occurrence of the Initial Maturity Date shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage participations of the Lenders under the Revolving Loan Commitments in any Letter of Credit issued before the Initial Maturity Date.

3.08. Conflict . In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit application required by an Issuing Lender (or any other document, agreement and instrument entered into by an Issuing Lender and any Borrower or in favor of an Issuing Lender and relating to any such Letter of Credit) or if such application, document, agreement or instrument imposes materially more burdensome representations or covenants than those contained in Section 8, 9 or 10, the terms hereof shall control.

(a) The U.S. Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender a commitment commission (the “ Commitment Commission ”) for the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Final Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment has been terminated) computed at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Commission Percentage of the Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect from time to time. Accrued Commitment Commission shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the date upon which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated.

(b) (i) Each U.S. Borrower, in the case of the Letters of Credit issued for the account of a U.S. Borrower, hereby jointly and severally agrees, and (ii) each Dutch Borrower, in the case of the Letters of Credit issued for the account of a Dutch Borrower, hereby jointly and severally agrees, in each case, to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Lender (based on each such Lender’s respective RL Percentage) a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued for the account of such U.S. Borrower or such Dutch Borrower, as applicable (the “ Letter of Credit Fee ”), for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such period with respect to Revolving Loans that are maintained as LIBOR Loans (whether or not any such Revolving Loans are outstanding at such time) on the daily Stated Amount of each such Letter of Credit. Accrued Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the first day on or after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

(c) (i) Each U.S. Borrower, in the case of the Letters of Credit issued for the account of a U.S. Borrower, hereby jointly and severally agrees, and (ii) each Dutch Borrower, in the case of the Letters of Credit issued for the account of a Dutch Borrower, hereby jointly and severally agrees, in each case, to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, a facing fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for the account of the applicable Borrower (the “ Facing Fee ”) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to 1/8 of 1% on the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit (but in no event less than $500 per annum for each Letter of Credit). Accrued Facing Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and upon the first day on or after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

(d) (i) Each U.S. Borrower, in the case of the Letters of Credit issued for the account of a U.S. Borrower, hereby jointly and severally agrees, and (ii) each Dutch Borrower, in the case of the Letters of Credit issued for the account of a Dutch Borrower, hereby jointly and severally agrees, in each case, to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, upon each payment under, issuance of, or amendment to, any Letter of Credit issued by it for the account of such U.S. Borrower or such Dutch Borrower, as applicable, such amount as shall at the time of such event be the administrative charge and the reasonable expenses which such Issuing Lender is generally imposing in connection with such occurrence with respect to letters of credit.

(e) The applicable Borrowers agree to pay to each Agent such fees as may have been, or are hereafter, agreed to in writing from time to time by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and such Agent on the basis and to the extent set forth therein.

4.02. Voluntary Termination of Revolving Loan Commitments . (a) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Borrowers shall have the right, subject to the requirements of Section 5.02(a), at any time or from time to time, without premium or penalty to terminate the Total Revolving Loan Commitment in whole, or reduce it in part, pursuant to this Section 4.02(a), in an integral multiple of $10,000,000 in the case of partial reductions to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment; provided that (i) each such reduction shall apply proportionately to permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender and (ii) in the case of any partial reduction, after giving effect to such reduction (x) the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Maximum Letter of Credit Amount (for this purpose, using the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of amounts denominated in Euros or any Acceptable Foreign Currency) and (y) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding shall not exceed the Maximum Swingline Amount and (iii) in the case of any termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment in whole, the applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall have provided cash collateral to the respective Issuing Lender or Lenders in an amount equal to 102% of the undrawn Stated Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit in a manner reasonably acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender. Any such notice of termination delivered in connection with a refinancing of all or part of this Agreement or any other transaction may be, if so expressly stated to be, conditional upon the consummation of such refinancing or other transaction and may be revoked by the Borrowers in the event such refinancing or other transaction is not consummated.

(b) In the event of refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrowers shall have the right, subject to obtaining the consents required by Section 13.12(b) with the express written consent of the Required Lenders, upon three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), to terminate the entire Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender, so long as all Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts, owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.11) are repaid concurrently with the effectiveness of such termination (at which time Schedule 1.01(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect such changed amounts) and such Lender’s RL Percentage of all outstanding Letters of Credit is cash collateralized in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding (it being understood that, for purposes of clarity, at the request of the Company, upon a determination by the Administrative Agent or the respective Issuing Lenders that there exists cash collateral in excess of such Lender’s RL Percentage of such Letter of Credit Exposure, such excess cash collateral may be returned to the applicable Borrowers so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or would result therefrom), and at such time such Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to indemnifications under this Agreement (including Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to such repaid Lender.

Any such notice of prepayment delivered in connection with a refinancing of all or part of this Agreement or any other transaction may be, if so expressly stated to be, conditional upon the consummation of such refinancing or other transaction and may be revoked by the Borrowers in the event such refinancing or other transaction is not consummated.

(b) In the event of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrowers may, upon three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), repay all Revolving Loans of such Lender, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts then owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.11) in accordance with, and subject to the requirements of Section 13.12(b), so long as (i) in the case of the repayment of Revolving Loans of any Lender pursuant to this clause (b), (A) the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender is terminated concurrently with such repayment pursuant to Section 4.02(b) (at which time Schedule 1.01(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect the changed Revolving Loan Commitments) and (B) such Lender’s RL Percentage of all outstanding Letters of Credit is cash collateralized in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding (it being understood that, for purposes of clarity, at the request of the Company, upon a determination by the Administrative Agent or the respective Issuing Lenders that there exists cash collateral in excess of such Lender’s RL Percentage of such Letter of Credit Exposure, such excess cash collateral may be returned to the applicable Borrowers so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or would result therefrom) and (ii) the consents, if any, required by Section 13.12(b) in connection with the repayment pursuant to this clause (b) shall have been obtained.

5.02. Mandatory Repayments; Cash Collateralization .

(ii) In connection with any repayment and/or cash collateralization required pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(i) on any day, the Borrowers shall first prepay the Loans in the following order:

(A) in the case of a repayment and/or cash collateralization required pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(i)(u) on any day, the U.S. Borrowers shall repay on such day the principal of outstanding U.S. Borrower Swingline Loans and, after all U.S. Borrower Swingline Loans have been repaid in full or if no U.S. Borrower Swingline Loans are outstanding, U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans, in each case in such amount as may be required to cause the conditions giving rise to such mandatory repayment requirement to cease to exist on such day,

(D) in the case of a repayment and/or cash collateralization required pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(i)(y) on any day, each respective Borrower shall repay on such day the principal of its outstanding Swingline Loans in such amount as may be required to cause the conditions giving rise to such mandatory repayment requirement to cease to exist on such day.

In the absence of a designation by a Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion.

(c) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, (i) all then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on the earlier of (x) the fifth Business Day following the date the incurrence of such Swingline Loans and (y) the Swingline Expiry Date and (ii) all then outstanding Revolving Loans shall be repaid in full on the Final Maturity Date.

Further, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to perform in any respect any of the Borrowers’ or other Credit Parties’ contracts or obligations relating to the Accounts.

5.04. Net Payments . (a) All payments made by the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties hereunder and under any other Credit Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. Except as provided in Section 5.04(b), and except as required by applicable law, all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding (i) any tax or withholding on account of tax imposed on or measured by the net income or net profits of a Lender or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) and any franchise taxes and branch profits taxes imposed pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is resident or organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) is located or any political subdivision thereof or therein, or any tax imposed as a result of a present or former connection between such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) and the jurisdiction imposing such tax (other than connections arising only from such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced any Credit Document, or sold or assigned an interest in any Loan or Credit Document), (ii) in the case of a Lender, any U.S. federal or Netherlands withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party hereto (or designates a new lending office), except to the extent that such Foreign Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from such U.S. Borrower with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to Section 5.04(a), (iii) taxes attributable to a Lender’s failure to comply with Section 5.04(e) and (iv) any U.S. federal withholding tax imposed under FATCA (subparagraphs (i) through (iv) together, “ Excluded Taxes ”)) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect to such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the respective Borrower (and any other Credit Party making the respective payment or which has guaranteed the obligations of the relevant Borrower) agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, including Taxes on such additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 5.04(a) as may be necessary so that, after making such withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, each payment of amounts due under this Agreement will not be less than the amount that would have been paid if no such Taxes had been withheld or deducted. The respective Borrower (or other Credit Party) will, upon the Administrative Agent’s written request, furnish to the Administrative Agent, within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by such Borrower (or other Credit Party) or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Subject to Section 14.07, the U.S. Borrowers (jointly and severally) or the Dutch Borrowers (jointly and severally), as applicable, agree (and the applicable Subsidiary Guarantors agree) to timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) Subject to Section 14.07, the U.S. Borrowers (jointly and severally) or the Dutch Borrowers (jointly and severally) shall, as applicable, agree (and the applicable Subsidiary Guarantors agree) to indemnify each Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes (including Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Lender or required to

be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Credit Parties, subject to Section 14.07, to do so), (ii) any taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.04(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (d).

(e) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.04(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender

becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Credit Document, executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Credit Document, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

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

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

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

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

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

(f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to Section 5.04(a), it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof with respect to such refund), provided that the U.S. Borrowers (on a joint and several basis) and the Dutch Borrowers (on a joint and several basis), as the case may be, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to any such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof; provided , further , that no Borrower shall be required to repay the Administrative Agent or such Lender an amount in excess of the amount paid over by such party to any such Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.04(f). This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Company, any other Borrower, any other Credit Party or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.04(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.04(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.

The acceptance of the benefits of each Credit Event shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Company and the other Borrowers to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders that all the conditions specified in Section 6 (with respect to the occurrence of the Effective Date and Credit Events on the Effective Date) and in this Section 7 (with respect to the occurrence of the Effective Date and Credit Events on or after the Effective Date) and applicable to such Credit Event are satisfied as of that time, in each case, to the extent the satisfaction of any such condition is not expressly subject to any Lender’s or Agent’s determination.

The Administrative Agent (and any such sub-agent, trustee or third party) may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory and indemnification provisions of this Section 12 and Section 13.01 shall apply to any such sub-agent, trustee or third party and to their respective Affiliates to the same extent that such provisions apply to the Administrative Agent.

(b) The Dutch Parallel Debt of each Dutch Credit Party (i) shall become due and payable at the same time as its Dutch Corresponding Debt; and (ii) is independent and separate from, and without prejudice to, its Dutch Corresponding Debt.

(c) For purposes of this Section 12.12, the Collateral Agent (i) is the independent and separate creditor of each Dutch Parallel Debt; (ii) acts in its own name and not as agent, representative or trustee of the Secured Creditors and its claims in respect of each Dutch Parallel Debt shall not be held on trust; and (iii) shall have the independent and separate right to demand payment of each Dutch Parallel Debt in its own name (including, through any suit, execution, enforcement of security, recovery of guarantees and applications for and voting in any kind of insolvency proceeding).

To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any other Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrowers (jointly and severally) shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

To the full extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower or Indemnified Person shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Borrower or any Indemnified Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or incidental damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan, Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing in this sentence shall limit any Borrower’s indemnification obligations to the extent such special, indirect, consequential or incidental damages are included in any third-party claim against an Indemnified Person in connection with which such Indemnified Person is otherwise entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or any other Credit Document. No Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent the liability of such Indemnified Person results from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). In addition, the U.S. Borrowers jointly and severally agree to reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket third-party administrative, audit and monitory expenses incurred in connection with the Borrowing Base and determinations thereunder.

(b) NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING SUBSECTION (a), AT ANY TIME THAT THE LOANS OR ANY OTHER OBLIGATION SHALL BE SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE A RIGHT OF SETOFF, LIEN OR COUNTERCLAIM OR TAKE ANY COURT OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION OR INSTITUTE ANY PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY NOTE UNLESS IT IS TAKEN WITH THE CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS OR APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, IF SUCH SETOFF OR ACTION OR PROCEEDING WOULD OR MIGHT (PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTIONS 580a, 580b, 580d AND 726 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR SECTION 2924 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, IF APPLICABLE, OR OTHERWISE) AFFECT OR IMPAIR THE VALIDITY, PRIORITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE LIENS GRANTED TO THE COLLATERAL AGENT PURSUANT TO THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS OR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THE NOTES AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND ANY ATTEMPTED EXERCISE BY ANY LENDER OF ANY SUCH RIGHT WITHOUT OBTAINING SUCH CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL BE NULL AND VOID.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Company and each of the other Credit Parties may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

13.04. Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations . (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided , however , neither the Company nor any other Borrower may assign or transfer any of their rights, obligations or interest hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders except as permitted by Section 10.02 and except for any assignment from any Dutch Borrower to the Company expressly contemplated by Section 2.10(e) and, provided further , that, although any Lender may grant participations to Eligible Transferees in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Revolving Loan Commitment hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.13 and 13.04(b)) and the participant shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and, provided further , that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the Final Maturity Date or is otherwise cash collateralized in accordance with the terms hereof) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement, to Section 13.07(a) or as contemplated in clause (6) of the second proviso of Section 13.12(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or Fees payable hereunder), or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Revolving Loan Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under any or all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) or all or substantially all of the value of the Guaranty (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder in which such participant is participating. The Borrowers agree that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 3.06, 2.11 and 5.04 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 5.04(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.04(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.12(b) and 2.13 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.10, 3.06 or 5.04, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.13 with respect to any Participant.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Revolving Loan Commitment and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Revolving Loan Commitment has terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to (i) (A) its parent company and/or any affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or (B) to one or more other Lenders or any affiliate of any such other Lender which is at least 50% owned by such other Lender or its parent company ( provided that any fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor) shall be treated as an affiliate of such other Lender for the purposes of this sub-clause (x)(i)(B)),

provided , that no such assignment may be made to any such Person that is, or would at such time constitute, a Defaulting Lender or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans, any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of any Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent and the Company may otherwise agree) in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, of such Revolving Loan Commitments and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Revolving Loan Commitments have terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees, each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided that (i) at such time, Schedule 1.01(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect the Revolving Loan Commitments and/or outstanding Revolving Loans, as the case may be, of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (ii) upon the surrender of any Notes by the assigning Lender (or, upon such assigning Lender’s indemnifying the relevant Borrower or Borrowers for any lost Note pursuant to a customary indemnification agreement) new Notes will be issued, at the Borrowers’ joint and several expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Revolving Loan Commitments and/or outstanding Revolving Loans, as the case may be, (iii) so long as no Event of Default then exists, the consent of the Company shall be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) above (such consent, in any case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), provided that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice thereof, (iv) the consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender shall be required in connection with any such assignment of Revolving Loan Commitments (and related Obligations) (such consent, in any case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (v) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 ( provided that only one such fee shall be payable in the case of one or more concurrent assignments by or to investment funds managed or advised by the same investment advisor or an affiliated investment advisor; provided further that the Administrative Agent may waive the payment of such fee in its sole discretion), and (vi) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 13.15; provided in all cases that the transferee Lender does not form part of the public (as such term is understood under the Dutch Financial Markets Supervision Act). To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Revolving Loan Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United States Person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to the Company and the Administrative Agent the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate) described in Section 5.04(e) to the extent such forms would provide a complete exemption from or reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax. In addition, each assignee Lender that is a United States Person and not already a Lender, if requested by the relevant Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such documentation (including Internal Revenue Service Form W-9) prescribed by applicable law as will enable the relevant Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.13 or this Section 13.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 3.06 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then no Borrower shall be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrowers, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder including to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and, with prior notification to the Administrative Agent, any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans and Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be. No pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

(d) Any Lender which assigns all of its Revolving Loan Commitment and/or Loans hereunder in accordance with Section 13.04(b) shall cease to constitute a “Lender” hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to such assigning Lender solely with respect to events or circumstances that occurred prior to such assignment.

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

(f) A transfer or assignment under Section 13.04(b) may, with respect to a Dutch Borrower, only be made to a person who is a Professional Lender.

13.05. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative . No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Company, any other Borrower or any other Credit Party and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

13.06. Payments Pro Rata . (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of any Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders entitled thereto (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive (other than in connection with an assignment made pursuant to Section 13.04) any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans, Unpaid Drawings, Commitment Commission or Letter of Credit Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lenders, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Revolving Loan Commitment shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Revolving Loan Commitment and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Revolving Loan Commitment and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Revolving Loan Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 13.04(b).

have jurisdiction over such Agent or Lender or to the Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors (in which case such Agent or Lender, as applicable, to the extent permitted by law, agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Company notice thereof except in connection with any request as part of any regulatory audit or examination conducted by accountants or any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Agent or Lender), (iii) as may be required or appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (iv) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (v) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (vi) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any swap, hedge or similar agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor) under which payments are to be made by reference to the Obligations or to the Borrowers and their respective obligations or to this Agreement or payments hereunder, so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 13.16, (vii) to any prospective or actual transferee, pledgee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer, pledge or participation of any of the Notes or Revolving Loan Commitments or any interest therein by such Lender, provided that such prospective transferee, pledgee or participant agrees to be bound by confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as those contained in this Section 13.16, (viii) to any other party to this Agreement, (ix) to the extent applicable and reasonably necessary or advisable, for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense or the enforcement of remedies hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, (x) to the extent it is information pertaining to the terms of this Agreement routinely provided to market data collectors (including league table providers) for the lending industry, to such market data collectors, (xi) to the extent it is information pertaining to the terms of this Agreement, to any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender and (xii) with the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) to (I) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency or organization or similar service providers to the lending industry, (II) service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents, the Revolving Loan Commitments and the Loans, (III) any credit insurers, (IV) any nationally recognized rating agency (to the extent consisting of information not governed by clause (xi) above) or (V) otherwise to the extent consisting of general portfolio information that does not identify the Credit Parties.

Each Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Lender and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Credit Parties, their stockholders and/or their respective affiliates. Each Credit Party agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and any Credit Party, its respective stockholders or its respective affiliates, on

the other. The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that: (i) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, each Credit Party, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Credit Party, its respective stockholders or its respective affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Credit Party, its respective stockholders or its respective Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Credit Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of such Credit Party, its respective management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that such Credit Party has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Credit Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Credit Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

13.18. Patriot Act . Each Lender subject to the USA PATRIOT ACT (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2011)) (as amended from time to time, the “ Patriot Act ”) hereby notifies the Company and the other Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company, the other Borrowers and the other Credit Parties and such other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Company, the other Borrowers and the other Credit Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act.

13.19. Waiver of Sovereign Immunity . Each of the Credit Parties, in respect of itself, its Subsidiaries, its process agents, and its properties and revenues, hereby irrevocably agrees that, to the extent that such Credit Party, its Subsidiaries or any of its properties has or may hereafter acquire any right of immunity, whether characterized as sovereign immunity or otherwise, from any legal proceedings, whether in the United States, the Netherlands or elsewhere, to enforce or collect upon the Loans or any Credit Document or any other liability or obligation of such Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries related to or arising from the transactions contemplated by any of the Credit Documents, including immunity from service of process, immunity from jurisdiction or judgment of any court or tribunal, immunity from execution of a judgment, and immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to any entry of judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution upon a judgment, such Credit Party, for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries, hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, any such immunity, and agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such proceeding, whether in the United States, the Netherlands or elsewhere. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Credit Party further agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section 13.19 shall have the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States and are intended to be irrevocable for purposes of such Act.

13.20. Judgment Currency . (a) The Credit Parties’ obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents to make payments in the respective Available Currency (the “ Obligation Currency ”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the respective Issuing Lender or the respective Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency (and the conversion of any such payments shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.20) expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents. If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Credit Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to

convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “ Judgment Currency ”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the rate of exchange (as quoted by the Administrative Agent or if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) determined, in each case, as of the day on which the judgment is given (such day being hereinafter referred to as the “ Judgment Currency Conversion Date ”).

(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, each Borrower covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate or exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

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

(a) EACH LENDER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT LIENS MAY BE CREATED ON THE COLLATERAL PURSUANT TO THE PERMITTED ADDITIONAL SECURED INDEBTEDNESS DOCUMENTS, WHICH LIENS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. THE EXPRESS TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL PROVIDE, IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS, THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL.

(b) EACH LENDER AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT TO ENTER INTO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE LENDERS, AND TO TAKE ALL ACTIONS (AND EXECUTE ALL DOCUMENTS) REQUIRED (OR DEEMED ADVISABLE) BY IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 13.21 ARE NOT INTENDED TO SUMMARIZE ALL RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. REFERENCE MUST BE MADE TO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ITSELF TO UNDERSTAND ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEREOF. EACH LENDER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING ITS OWN ANALYSIS AND REVIEW OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS THEREOF, AND NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION TO ANY LENDER AS TO THE SUFFICIENCY OR ADVISABILITY OF THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

13.22. Interest Rate Limitation . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “ Maximum Rate ”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate,

the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Company. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

14.01. Nature of Obligations . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, it is understood and agreed by the various parties to this Agreement that:

(a) all U.S. Borrower Obligations to repay principal of, interest on, and all other amounts with respect to, all U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans, U.S. Borrower Swingline Loans, Letters of Credit issued for the account of any U.S. Borrower and all other U.S. Borrower Obligations pursuant to this Agreement and each other Credit Document (including all fees, indemnities, taxes and other U.S. Borrower Obligations in connection therewith or in connection with the related Commitments) shall constitute the joint and several obligations of each of the U.S. Borrowers. In addition to the direct (and joint and several) obligations of the U.S. Borrowers with respect to the U.S. Borrower Obligations as described above, all such U.S. Borrower Obligations shall be guaranteed pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms of, the U.S. Guaranty, provided that the obligations of a U.S. Borrower with respect to the U.S. Borrower Obligations as described above shall not be limited by any provision of the U.S. Guaranty entered into by such U.S. Borrower; and

(b) all Dutch Borrower Obligations to repay principal of, interest on, and all other amounts with respect to, all Dutch Borrower Revolving Loans, Dutch Borrower Swingline Loans, Letters of Credit issued for the account of any Dutch Borrower and all other Dutch Borrower Obligations pursuant to this Agreement and each other Credit Document (including all fees, indemnities, taxes and other Dutch Borrower Obligations in connection therewith or in connection with the related Commitments) shall constitute the joint and several obligations of each of the Dutch Borrowers. In addition to the direct (and joint and several) obligations of the Dutch Borrowers with respect to Dutch Borrower Obligations as described above, all such Dutch Borrower Obligations shall be guaranteed pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms of, each of the U.S. Guaranty and the Dutch Guaranty.

14.02. Independent Obligation . The obligations of each Borrower with respect to its Borrower Obligations are independent of the Obligations of each other Borrower or any Guarantor under its Guaranty of such Borrower Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Borrower, whether or not any other Borrower or any Guarantor is joined in any such action or actions. Each Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by any Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to any Borrower shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each Borrower.

14.03. Authorization . Each of the Borrowers authorizes the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and the Credit Documents:

(a) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any other Borrower or any Guarantor or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(b) release or substitute any other Borrower, endorsers, Guarantors or other obligors;

(c) settle or compromise any of the Borrower Obligations of any other Borrower or any other Credit Party, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Borrower to its creditors other than the Lenders;

(d) apply any sums paid by any other Borrower or any other Person, howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of such other Borrower or other Person regardless of what liability or liabilities of such other Borrower or other Person remain unpaid; and/or

(e) consent to or waive any breach of, or act, omission or default under, this Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein, or otherwise, by any other Borrower or any other Person.

14.04. Reliance . It is not necessary for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Company, any other Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, members, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any Borrower Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall constitute the joint and several obligations of the respective Borrowers hereunder.

14.05. Contribution; Subrogation . No Borrower shall exercise any rights of contribution or subrogation with respect to any other Borrower as a result of payments made by it hereunder, in each case unless and until (a) the Total Revolving Loan Commitment and all Letters of Credit have been terminated (or have been cash collateralized or backstopped by another letter of credit, in either case on terms and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders (which arrangements, in any event, shall require such cash collateral or backstop letter of credit to be in a stated amount equal to not more than 102% of the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time)) and (b) all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash (other than any indemnities or other contingent payment obligations of the Credit Parties set forth in the Credit Documents and reimbursement obligations under Section 13.01 which, in either case are not then due and payable). To the extent that any Dutch Credit Party or U.S. Credit Party shall be required to pay a portion of the Obligations which shall exceed the amount of loans, advances or other extensions of credit received by such Credit Party and all interest, costs, fees and expenses attributable to such loans, advances or other extensions of credit, then such Credit Party shall be reimbursed by the other Credit Parties within its group (Dutch or U.S.) for the amount of such excess, subject to the restrictions of the previous sentence. This Section 14.05 is intended only to define the relative rights of Credit Parties, and nothing set forth in this Section 14.05 is intended or shall impair the obligations of each Credit Party to pay the Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof.

14.06. Waiver . Each Borrower waives any right to require the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders or the Lenders to (a) proceed against any other Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party, (b) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party or (c) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s, any Issuing Lender’s or Lenders’ power whatsoever. Each Borrower waives any defense based

on or arising out of suretyship or any impairment of security held from any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party or

on or arising out of any defense of any other Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party other than payment in full in cash of its Borrower Obligations, including any defense based on or arising out of the disability of any other Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of its Borrower Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Borrower, in each case other than as a result of the payment in full in cash of its Borrower Obligations.

14.07. Limitation on Dutch Borrower Obligations . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document (including provisions that may override any other provision), in no event shall the Dutch Borrowers or any other Dutch Credit Party guarantee or be deemed to have guaranteed or become liable or obligated on a joint and several basis or otherwise for, or to have pledged any of its assets to secure, any direct U.S. Borrower Obligation under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents. All provisions contained in any Credit Document shall be interpreted consistently with this Section 14.07 to the extent possible, and where such other provisions conflict with the provisions of this Section 14.07, the provisions of this Section 14.07 shall govern.

14.08. Rights and Obligations . The obligations of the Swingline Lender, each Issuing Lender and each Lender under this Agreement bind each of them severally. Failure by the Swingline Lender, any Issuing Lender or any Lender, as the case may be, to perform its obligations under this Agreement does not affect the obligations of any other party under this Agreement. The Swingline Lender, each Issuing Lender or each Lender is not responsible for the obligations of any other Swingline Lender, Issuing Lender or Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement. The rights, powers and remedies of the Swingline Lender, each Issuing Lender and each Lender in connection with this Agreement are separate and independent rights, powers and remedies and any debt arising under this Agreement to or for the account of the Swingline Lender, any Issuing Lender or any Lender from a Credit Party is a separate and independent debt.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused their duly authorized officers to execute and deliver this Agreement as of the date first above written.

Each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Dutch Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other party other than the occurrence of the Termination Date, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of any Dutch Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Dutch Borrower other than the occurrence of the Termination Date. The Secured Creditors may, at their election, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, foreclose on any collateral serving as security held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Creditors by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Secured Creditors may have against any Dutch Borrower or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Termination Date has occurred. Each Guarantor waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) any defense arising out of any such election by the Secured Creditors, even though such election may operate to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement, contribution, indemnification or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against any Dutch Borrower, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other party or any security.

(c) Each Guarantor has knowledge and assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Dutch Borrower’s and each other Guarantor’s financial condition, affairs and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and has adequate means to obtain from each Dutch Borrower and each other Guarantor on an ongoing basis information relating thereto and each Dutch Borrower’s and each other Guarantor’s ability to pay and perform its respective Guaranteed Obligations, and agrees to assume the responsibility to keep so informed for so long as such Guarantor is a party to this Guaranty. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (x) the Secured Creditors shall have no obligation to investigate the financial condition or affairs of any Dutch Borrower or any other Guarantor for the benefit of such Guarantor nor to advise such Guarantor of any fact respecting, or any change in, the financial condition, assets or affairs of any Dutch Borrower or any other Guarantor that might become known to any Secured Creditor at any time, whether or not such Secured Creditor knows or believes or has reason to know or believe that any such fact or change is unknown to such Guarantor, or might (or does) increase the risk of such Guarantor as guarantor hereunder, or might (or would) affect the willingness of such Guarantor to continue as a Guarantor hereunder and (y) the Secured Creditors shall have no duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to them regarding any of the aforementioned circumstances or risks.

(d) Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that no Secured Creditor nor any other Person shall be under any obligation (a) to marshal any assets in favor of such Guarantor or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of any Dutch Borrower under the Credit Documents or the obligation of such Guarantor hereunder or (b) to pursue any other remedy that such Guarantor may or may not be able to pursue itself any right to which such Guarantor hereby waives.

(e) Each Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth in Section 3 hereof and in this Section 4 is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Any Secured Creditor may (except as shall be required by applicable law and cannot be waived) at any time and from time to time without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, without incurring responsibility to such Guarantor, without impairing or releasing the obligations or liabilities of such Guarantor hereunder, upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in part:

(a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change, increase or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Guaranteed Obligations (including, without limitation, any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon or the principal amount thereof), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and the guaranty herein made shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, increased, accelerated, renewed or altered;

(b) take and hold security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, surrender, impair, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property or other collateral by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset there against;

(c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any Dutch Borrower, any other Credit Party, any Subsidiary thereof, any other guarantor of any Dutch Borrower or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, Guarantors, other guarantors, any Dutch Borrower or other obligors;

(e) settle or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Dutch Borrower to creditors of any Dutch Borrower other than the Secured Creditors;

(f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of any Dutch Borrower to the Secured Creditors regardless of what liabilities of such Dutch Borrower remain unpaid;

(g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, any of the Credit Documents or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement any of the Credit Documents or any of such other instruments or agreements;

(h) act or fail to act in any manner which may deprive such Guarantor of its right to subrogation against any Dutch Borrower to recover full indemnity for any payments made pursuant to this Guaranty; and/or

(i) take any other action or omit to take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor from its liabilities under this Guaranty (including, without limitation, any action or omission whatsoever that might otherwise vary the risk of such Guarantor or constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of the liabilities of a guarantor or surety or that might otherwise limit recourse against such Guarantor).

No invalidity, illegality, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Credit Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or of any security or guarantee therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense to this Guaranty, and this Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and unconditional notwithstanding the occurrence of any event or the existence of any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor except the occurrence of the Termination Date.

This Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. No failure or delay on the part of any Secured Creditor in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Secured Creditor would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Secured Creditor to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. It is not necessary for any Secured Creditor to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Dutch Borrower or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its or their behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

Any indebtedness of any Dutch Borrower now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations of such Dutch Borrower to the Secured Creditors; and the indebtedness of such Dutch Borrower to any Guarantor, if the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, so requests, to the extent such indebtedness constitutes Collateral shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Secured Creditors and be paid over to the Secured Creditors on account of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Dutch Borrower to the Secured Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Secured Creditors that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until the Termination Date; provided , that if any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the Termination Date, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Creditors and shall promptly be paid to the Secured Creditors to be credited and applied upon the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents or, if the Credit Documents do not provide for the application of such amount, to be held by the Secured Creditors as collateral security for any Guaranteed Obligations thereafter existing.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Guaranty, the Secured Creditors agree (by their acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) that this Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, in each case acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders and that no other Secured Creditor shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty or to realize upon the security to be granted by the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors upon the terms of this Guaranty and the Security Documents. The Secured Creditors further agree that this Guaranty may not be enforced against any director, officer, employee, partner, member or stockholder of any Guarantor (except to the extent such partner, member or stockholder is also a Guarantor hereunder). It is understood and agreed that the agreement in this Section 8 is among and solely for the benefit of the Secured Creditors and that, if the Required Lenders so agree (without requiring the consent of any Guarantor), this Guaranty may be directly enforced by any Secured Creditor.

In order to induce the Lenders to make Loans to, and issue Letters of Credit for the account of, the Dutch Borrowers pursuant to the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor represents and warrants that:

(a) such Guarantor (i) is a duly organized and validly existing Business, (ii) has the Business power and authority to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged and presently proposes to engage and (iii) is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business requires such qualification, except for failures to be in good standing or so qualified which, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(b) such Guarantor has the Business power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the terms and provisions of each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary Business action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party;

(c) such Guarantor has duly executed and delivered each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, and each such Credit Documents to which it is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law);

case, to which any Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets is bound or to which it may be subject or (iii) violate any provision of the certificate or articles of incorporation, by-laws, partnership agreement or limited liability company agreement (or equivalent organizational documents), as applicable, of such Guarantor or any of its respective Subsidiaries;

(e) no order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with (except for (x) those that have otherwise been obtained or made prior to the Effective Date and which remain in full force and effect on the Effective Date and (y) filings which are necessary to perfect the security interests created or intended to be created under the Security Documents), or exemption by, any Governmental Authority is required to be obtained, or made by, or on behalf of the Guarantor to authorize, or is required to be obtained, or made by, or on behalf of the Guarantor in connection with, (i) the execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of the Credit Documents to which such Guarantor is a party or (ii) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability against such Guarantor of any Credit Document to which such Guarantor is a party; and

(f) there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer of such Guarantor, threatened in writing (i) that purports to affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any Credit Document to which such Guarantor is a party or (ii) with respect to such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries that, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

Until the Termination Date, such Guarantor will comply, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply, with all of the applicable provisions, covenants and agreements contained in Sections 9 and 10 of the Credit Agreement which are expressly applicable to such Guarantor and/or such Guarantor’s Subsidiaries, and will take, or will refrain from taking, as the case may be, all actions that are necessary to be taken or not taken so that no violation of any provision, covenant or agreement contained in Sections 9 and 10 of the Credit Agreement which are expressly applicable to such Guarantor and/or such Guarantor’s Subsidiaries, and so that no Default or Event of Default, is caused by the actions of such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.

The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Creditor following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty and the protection of the Secured Creditors’ rights hereunder and any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto (including, in each case, without limitation, the reasonable and invoiced fees and disbursements of consultants and counsel employed by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Creditor (but limited, in the case of attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to one counsel to the Secured Creditors, taken as a whole, one local counsel for the Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent and the Secured Creditors, taken as a whole, in each relevant jurisdiction, and, solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interests, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to each group of affected Secured Creditors similarly situated, taken as a whole)).

This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Creditors and their successors and assigns.

Neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except with the written consent of each Guarantor directly affected thereby (it being understood that the addition or release of any Guarantor hereunder shall not constitute a change, waiver, discharge or termination affecting any Guarantor other than the Guarantor so added or released) and with the written consent of the Required Lenders (or, to the extent required by Section 13.12 of the Credit Agreement, with the written consent of each Lender) at all times prior to the Termination Date.

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 151 of the New York Debtor and Creditor Law) and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Secured Creditor, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, is hereby authorized, at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being expressly waived (to the extent permitted by applicable law), to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Secured Creditor to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Guarantor to such Secured Creditor under this Guaranty, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Creditor shall have made any demand hereunder and although said obligations, liabilities, deposits or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Secured Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits hereof) acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section 13 are subject to the sharing provisions set forth in Section 13.06 of the Credit Agreement.

Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices, requests, demands or other communications to or upon the respective parties hereto shall be sent or delivered by mail, email, telecopy or courier service and all such notices and communications shall, when mailed, emailed, telecopied or sent by courier, be effective when received by the Administrative Agent or such Guarantor, as the case may be. All notices and other communications shall be in writing and addressed to such party at (i) in the case of any Secured Creditor, as provided in the Credit Agreement and (ii) in the case of any Guarantor, at its address set forth opposite its signature page below; or in any case at such other address as any of the Persons listed above may hereafter notify the others in writing.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any claim is ever made upon any Secured Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including, without limitation, any Dutch Borrower), then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon such Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any Note, any other Credit Document or any other instrument evidencing any liability of any Dutch Borrower, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.

(a) THIS GUARANTY AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE SECURED CREDITORS AND OF THE UNDERSIGNED HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK) (OR, IN RESPECT OF SECTION 24, NETHERLANDS LAW). ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT TO WHICH ANY GUARANTOR IS A PARTY SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, IN EACH CASE LOCATED WITHIN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN (OR, IN RESPECT OF SECTION 24, THE COURTS OF AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS), AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS GUARANTY, EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER SUCH GUARANTOR, AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM, IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT TO WHICH SUCH GUARANTOR IS A PARTY BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE AFORESAID COURTS, THAT ANY SUCH COURT LACKS PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER SUCH GUARANTOR. EACH GUARANTOR FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO EACH GUARANTOR AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH OPPOSITE ITS SIGNATURE BELOW, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE 30 DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT TO WHICH SUCH GUARANTOR IS A PARTY THAT SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS WAS IN ANY WAY INVALID OR INEFFECTIVE. NOTHING HEREIN, HOWEVER, SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY OF THE SECURED CREDITORS TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST EACH GUARANTOR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

(b) EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW) ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT TO WHICH SUCH GUARANTOR IS A PARTY BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (A) ABOVE THAT ARE LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

(c) EACH GUARANTOR AND EACH SECURED CREDITOR (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THE BENEFITS OF THIS GUARANTY) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES

ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY, THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS TO WHICH SUCH GUARANTOR IS A PARTY OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

In the event that all of the Equity Interests of one or more Guarantors (other than a Dutch Borrower) is sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction not prohibited by the Credit Agreement or liquidated in compliance with the requirements of Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement (or such sale, other disposition or liquidation has been approved in writing by the Required Lenders (or all the Lenders if required by Section 13.12 of the Credit Agreement)), to the extent applicable, such Guarantor shall, or upon consummation of such sale or other disposition (except to the extent that such sale or disposition is to the Company or another Subsidiary thereof), as applicable, shall be released from this Guaranty automatically and without further action and this Guaranty shall, as to each such Guarantor or Guarantors, terminate, and have no further force or effect (it being understood and agreed that the sale of one or more Persons that own, directly or indirectly, all of the Equity Interests of any Guarantor shall be deemed to be a sale of such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 17). Subject to Section 15, on the Termination Date this Guaranty shall terminate ( provided that all indemnities set forth herein shall survive such termination) and each Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under this Guaranty.

At any time a payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is made under this Guaranty, the right of contribution of each Guarantor against each other Guarantor shall be determined as provided in the immediately following sentence, with the right of contribution of each Guarantor to be revised and restated as of each date on which a payment (a “ Relevant Payment ”) is made on the Guaranteed Obligations under this Guaranty. At any time that a Relevant Payment is made by a Guarantor that results in the aggregate payments made by such Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment exceeding such Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage (as defined below) of the aggregate payments made by all Guarantors in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment (such excess, the “ Aggregate Excess Amount ”), each such Guarantor shall have a right of contribution against each other Guarantor who has made payments in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment in an aggregate amount less than such other Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage of the aggregate payments made to and including the date of the Relevant Payment by all Guarantors in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations (the aggregate amount of such deficit, the “ Aggregate Deficit Amount ”) in an amount equal to (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of such Guarantor and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of all Guarantors multiplied by (y) the Aggregate Deficit Amount of such other Guarantor. A Guarantor’s right of contribution pursuant to the preceding sentences shall arise at the time of each computation, subject to adjustment to the time of each computation; provided that no Guarantor may take any action to enforce such right until the Termination Date, it being expressly recognized and agreed by all parties hereto that any Guarantor’s right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 18 against any other Guarantor shall be expressly junior and subordinate to such other Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and any other obligations owing under this Guaranty. As used in this Section 18: (i) each Guarantor’s “ Contribution Percentage ” shall mean the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the Adjusted Net Worth (as defined below) of such Guarantor by (y) the aggregate Adjusted Net Worth of all Guarantors; (ii) the “ Adjusted Net Worth ” of each Guarantor shall mean the greater of (x) the Net Worth (as defined below) of such Guarantor and (y) zero; and (iii) the “ Net Worth ” of each Guarantor shall mean the amount by which the fair saleable value of such Guarantor’s assets on the date of any Relevant

Payment exceeds its existing debts and other liabilities (including contingent liabilities, but without giving effect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising under this Guaranty or any guaranteed obligations arising under any guaranty of any Permitted Additional Indebtedness) on such date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Guarantor that is released from this Guaranty pursuant to Section 17 hereof shall thereafter have no contribution obligations, or rights, pursuant to this Section 18, and at the time of any such release, if the released Guarantor had an Aggregate Excess Amount or an Aggregate Deficit Amount, same shall be deemed reduced to $0, and the contribution rights and obligations of the remaining Guarantors shall be recalculated on the respective date of release (as otherwise provided above) based on the payments made hereunder by the remaining Guarantors. All parties hereto recognize and agree that, except for any right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 18, each Guarantor who makes any payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have no right of contribution or subrogation against any other Guarantor in respect of such payment until the Termination Date. Each of the Guarantors recognizes and acknowledges that the rights to contribution arising hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the party entitled to such contribution. In this connection, each Guarantor has the right to waive its contribution right against any Guarantor to the extent that after giving effect to such waiver such Guarantor would remain solvent, in the determination of the Required Lenders.

Each Guarantor and each Secured Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) hereby confirms that it is its intention that this Guaranty not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act of any similar Federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, each Guarantor and each Secured Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) hereby irrevocably agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed by such Guarantor shall be limited to such amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other (contingent or otherwise) liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any rights to contribution pursuant to any agreement providing for an equitable contribution among such Guarantor and the other Guarantors, result in the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor in respect of such maximum amount not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Company and the Administrative Agent. Delivery of an executed counterpart hereof by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart hereof.

All payments made by any Guarantor hereunder will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense and on the same basis as payments are made by the applicable Borrowers under Sections 5.03 and 5.04 of the Credit Agreement.

(a) The Guarantors’ obligations hereunder to make payments in the Obligation Currency shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment

expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Creditors of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Creditors under this Guaranty. If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Guarantor in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from the Judgment Currency an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the rate of exchange (as quoted by the Administrative Agent or if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by the Administrative Agent) determined, in each case, as of the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, each Guarantor covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate or exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

(c) For purposes of determining any rate of exchange for this Section 22, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

It is understood and agreed that any Wholly-Owned Dutch Subsidiary of Tesla B.V. that is required to execute a counterpart of this Guaranty after the date hereof pursuant to the Credit Agreement shall become a Guarantor hereunder by (x) executing and delivering a counterpart hereof, or a Joinder Agreement and delivering same to the Administrative Agent and (y) taking all actions as specified in this Guaranty as would have been taken by such Guarantor had it been an original party to this Guaranty, in each case with all documents required above to be delivered to the Administrative Agent and actions required to be taken above to be taken to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent.

(a) Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Collateral Agent amounts equal to, and in the currency or currencies of, its Dutch Corresponding Debt on the terms and conditions specified in Section 12.12 of the Credit Agreement.

(b) The Dutch Parallel Debt of each Guarantor (i) shall become due and payable at the same time as its Dutch Corresponding Debt; and (ii) is independent and separate from, and without prejudice to, its Dutch Corresponding Debt.

(c) For purposes of this Section 24, the Collateral Agent (i) is the independent and separate creditor of each Dutch Parallel Debt; (ii) acts in its own name and not as agent, representative or trustee of the Secured Creditors and its claims in respect of each Dutch Parallel Debt shall not be held on trust; and (iii) shall have the independent and separate right to demand payment of each Dutch Parallel Debt in its own name (including, through any suit, execution, enforcement of security, recovery of guarantees and applications for and voting in any kind of insolvency proceeding).

(d) The Dutch Parallel Debt of each Guarantor shall be (i) decreased to the extent that its Dutch Corresponding Debt has been irrevocably and unconditionally paid or discharged, and (ii) increased to the extent to that its Dutch Corresponding Debt has increased, and the Dutch Corresponding Debt of each Guarantor shall be (x) decreased to the extent that its Dutch Parallel Debt has been irrevocably and unconditionally paid or discharged, and (y) increased to the extent that its Dutch Parallel Debt has increased, in each case provided that the Dutch Parallel Debt of a Guarantor shall never exceed its Dutch Corresponding Debt.

(e) Each Guarantor may not pay any of its Dutch Parallel Debt other than at the instruction of, and in the manner determined by, the Collateral Agent. Without prejudice to the preceding sentence, each Dutch Credit Party shall be obliged to pay the Dutch Parallel Debt (or if such Guarantor‘s Dutch Corresponding Debt is due at different times, an amount of the relevant Dutch Parallel Debt corresponding to its relevant Dutch Corresponding Debt) only when its relevant Dutch Corresponding Debt has become due.

(f) All parties to this Agreement have acknowledged and agreed with and/or shall acknowledge and agree with the provisions of this Section 24.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, each Guarantor and the Collateral Agent acknowledge and agree that the rules applicable in respect of common property ( gemeenschap ) do not apply, whether or not by analogy, to the relation between any relevant parties to the relevant Dutch Security Agreement as a result of the provisions in this Section 24.

(h) All amounts received or recovered by the Collateral Agent in connection with Section 12.12 of the Credit Agreement and owed to Lenders, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall be applied in accordance with Section 13.06 of the Credit Agreement.

(i) This Section 24 applies for the purpose of determining the Secured Obligations in each Dutch Security Agreement.

The headings of the several Sections of this Guaranty are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Guaranty.

This Guaranty is subject to the Intercreditor Agreement at any time such Intercreditor Agreement is in effect and applicable to the Dutch Borrowers and the Dutch Subsidiary Guarantors. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Guaranty and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement shall control.

The obligations of such Qualified Keepwell Provider under this Section 1(c) shall remain in full force and effect until each Guarantor has been released from its obligations under this Guaranty pursuant to Section 17.

The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor, any other guarantor, any Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor, any other guarantor, any Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party and whether or not any other Guarantor, any other guarantor, any Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party is joined in any such action or actions. Each Guarantor waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) the benefits of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by any Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to any Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each Guarantor.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of the existence, creation or incurrence of any new or additional liability to which it may apply, and waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) promptness, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, demand for performance, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment of any such liabilities, suit or taking of other action by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Creditor against, and any other notice to, any party liable thereon (including such Guarantor, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor, any Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party) and each Guarantor further hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice or proof of reliance by any Secured Creditor upon this Guaranty, and the Guaranteed Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended, modified, supplemented or waived, in reliance upon this Guaranty.

Each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other party other than the occurrence of the Termination Date, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of any Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party other than the occurrence of the Termination Date. The Secured Creditors may, at their election, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, foreclose on any collateral serving as security held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Creditors by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Secured Creditors may have against any Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Termination Date has occurred. Each Guarantor waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) any defense arising out of any such election by the Secured Creditors, even though such election may operate to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement, contribution, indemnification or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against any Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other party or any security.

(c) Each Guarantor has knowledge and assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Borrower’s, each other Guaranteed Party’s and each other Guarantor’s financial condition, affairs and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and has adequate means to obtain from each Borrower, each other Guaranteed Party and each other Guarantor on an ongoing basis information relating thereto and each Borrower’s, each other Guaranteed Party’s and each other Guarantor’s ability to pay and perform its respective Guaranteed Obligations, and agrees to assume the responsibility to keep so informed for so long as such Guarantor is a party to this Guaranty. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (x) the Secured Creditors shall have no obligation to investigate the financial condition or affairs of any Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party or any other Guarantor for the benefit of such Guarantor nor to advise such Guarantor of any fact

respecting, or any change in, the financial condition, assets or affairs of any Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party or any other Guarantor that might become known to any Secured Creditor at any time, whether or not such Secured Creditor knows or believes or has reason to know or believe that any such fact or change is unknown to such Guarantor, or might (or does) increase the risk of such Guarantor as guarantor hereunder, or might (or would) affect the willingness of such Guarantor to continue as a Guarantor hereunder and (y) the Secured Creditors shall have no duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to them regarding any of the aforementioned circumstances or risks.

(d) Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that no Secured Creditor nor any other Person shall be under any obligation (a) to marshal any assets in favor of such Guarantor or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of any Guaranteed Party under the Secured Debt Agreements or the obligation of such Guarantor hereunder or (b) to pursue any other remedy that such Guarantor may or may not be able to pursue itself any right to which such Guarantor hereby waives.

(d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, Guarantors, other guarantors, any Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party or other obligors;

(e) settle or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party to creditors of any Borrower or such other Guaranteed Party other than the Secured Creditors;

(f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of any Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party to the Secured Creditors regardless of what liabilities of such Borrower or such other Guaranteed Party remain unpaid;

(g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, any of the Secured Debt Agreements or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement any of the Secured Debt Agreements or any of such other instruments or agreements;

(h) act or fail to act in any manner which may deprive such Guarantor of its right to subrogation against any Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party to recover full indemnity for any payments made pursuant to this Guaranty; and/or

No invalidity, illegality, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Secured Debt Agreements or any other agreement or instrument relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or of any security or guarantee therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense to this Guaranty, and this Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and unconditional notwithstanding the occurrence of any event or the existence of any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor except the occurrence of the Termination Date.

This Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. No failure or delay on the part of any Secured Creditor in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Secured Creditor would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Secured Creditor to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. It is not necessary for any Secured Creditor to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its or their behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

Any indebtedness of any Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations of such Borrower or such other

Guaranteed Party to the Secured Creditors; and the indebtedness of such Borrower or such other Guaranteed Party to any Guarantor, if the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, so requests, to the extent such indebtedness constitutes Collateral shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Secured Creditors and be paid over to the Secured Creditors on account of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Borrower or such other Guaranteed Party to the Secured Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Secured Creditors that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until the Termination Date; provided , that if any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the Termination Date, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Creditors and shall promptly be paid to the Secured Creditors to be credited and applied upon the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents or, if the Credit Documents do not provide for the application of such amount, to be held by the Secured Creditors as collateral security for any Guaranteed Obligations thereafter existing.

In order to induce the Lenders to make Loans to, and issue Letters of Credit for the account of, the Borrowers pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and in order to induce the Secured Hedging Creditors to execute, deliver and perform the Secured Hedging Agreements to which they are a party and in order to induce the Treasury Services Creditors to execute, deliver and perform the Treasury Services Agreements to which they are a party, each Guarantor represents and warrants that:

(d) neither the execution, delivery or performance by such Guarantor of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions thereof, will (i) contravene any provision of any applicable law, statute, rule or regulation or any applicable order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or Governmental Authority, (ii) conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien (except pursuant to the Security Documents) upon any of the property or assets of any Guarantor pursuant to the terms of any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement, or loan agreement, or any other material agreement, contract or instrument, in each case, to which any Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets is bound or to which it may be subject or (iii) violate any provision of the certificate or articles of incorporation, by-laws, partnership agreement or limited liability company agreement (or equivalent organizational documents), as applicable, of such Guarantor or any of its respective Subsidiaries;

The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and each other Lender Creditor following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty and the protection of the Secured Creditors’ rights hereunder and any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto (including, in each case, without limitation, the reasonable and invoiced fees and disbursements of consultants and counsel employed by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and each other Lender Creditor (but limited, in the case of attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to one counsel to the Lender Creditors, taken as a whole, one local counsel for the Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent and the Lender Creditors, taken as a whole, in each relevant jurisdiction, and, solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interests, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to each group of affected Lender Creditors similarly situated, taken as a whole)).

This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Creditors and their successors and assigns.

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 151 of the New York Debtor and Creditor Law) and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Secured Creditor, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, is hereby authorized, at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being expressly waived (to the extent permitted by applicable law), to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Secured Creditor to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Guarantor to such Secured Creditor under this Guaranty, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Creditor shall have made any demand hereunder and although said obligations, liabilities, deposits or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no amounts received from, or set off with respect to, any Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor. Each Secured Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits hereof) acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section 13 are subject to the sharing provisions set forth in Section 13.06 of the Credit Agreement.

Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices, requests, demands or other communications to or upon the respective parties hereto shall be sent or delivered by mail, email, telecopy

AFTER SUCH MAILING. EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT TO WHICH SUCH GUARANTOR IS A PARTY THAT SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS WAS IN ANY WAY INVALID OR INEFFECTIVE. NOTHING HEREIN, HOWEVER, SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY OF THE SECURED CREDITORS TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST EACH GUARANTOR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

(c) EACH GUARANTOR AND EACH SECURED CREDITOR (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THE BENEFITS OF THIS GUARANTY) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY, THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS TO WHICH SUCH GUARANTOR IS A PARTY OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

In the event that all of the Equity Interests of one or more Guarantors (other than a Borrower) is sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction not prohibited by the Credit Agreement or liquidated in compliance with the requirements of Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement (or such sale, other disposition or liquidation has been approved in writing by the Required Lenders (or all the Lenders if required by Section 13.12 of the Credit Agreement)), to the extent applicable, such Guarantor shall, or upon consummation of such sale or other disposition (except to the extent that such sale or disposition is to the Company or another Subsidiary thereof), as applicable, shall be released from this Guaranty automatically and without further action and this Guaranty shall, as to each such Guarantor or Guarantors, terminate, and have no further force or effect (it being understood and agreed that the sale of one or more Persons that own, directly or indirectly, all of the Equity Interests of any Guarantor shall be deemed to be a sale of such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 17). Subject to Section 15, on the Termination Date this Guaranty shall terminate ( provided that all indemnities set forth herein shall survive such termination) and each Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under this Guaranty.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Guarantor that is released from this Guaranty pursuant to Section 17 hereof shall thereafter have no contribution obligations, or rights, pursuant to this Section 18, and at the time of any such release, if the released Guarantor had an Aggregate Excess Amount or an Aggregate Deficit Amount, same shall be deemed reduced to $0, and the contribution rights and obligations of the remaining Guarantors shall be recalculated on the respective date of release (as otherwise provided above) based on the payments made hereunder by the remaining Guarantors. All parties hereto recognize and agree that, except for any right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 18, each Guarantor who makes any payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have no right of contribution or subrogation against any other Guarantor in respect of such payment until the Termination Date.

(c) For purposes of determining any rate of exchange for this Section 22, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

It is understood and agreed that any Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary of the Company that is required to execute a counterpart of this Guaranty after the date hereof pursuant to the Credit Agreement shall become a Guarantor hereunder by (x) executing and delivering a counterpart hereof, or a Joinder Agreement and delivering same to the Administrative Agent and (y) taking all actions

As of the date hereof, the exact legal name of each Assignor, the type of organization of such Assignor and the jurisdiction of organization of such Assignor, is listed on Annex B hereto for such Assignor. Such Assignor shall not change its legal name, its type of organization or its jurisdiction of organization from that used on Annex B hereto, except that any such changes shall be permitted (so long as not in violation of the applicable requirements of the Credit Documents and so long as same do not involve such Assignor changing its jurisdiction of organization from the Netherlands to a jurisdiction of organization outside the Netherlands) if (i) it shall have given to the Collateral Agent not less than 10 days’ prior written notice (or such shorter period of time as may be agreed by the Collateral Agent in its discretion) of each change to the information listed on Annex B hereto (as adjusted for any subsequent changes thereto previously made in accordance with this sentence), together with a supplement to Annex B hereto which shall correct all information contained therein for such Assignor, and (ii) in connection with the respective change or changes, it shall have taken all action reasonably necessary or requested by the Collateral Agent to maintain the security interests of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral intended to be granted hereby at all times fully perfected and in full force and effect.

As of the date hereof, such Assignor does not have or operate in any jurisdiction under, or in the five years preceding the date hereof has not had or has not operated in any jurisdiction under, any trade names, fictitious names or other names except its legal name as specified in Annex B hereto and such other trade or fictitious names as are listed on Annex C hereto for such Assignor.

During the one year period preceding the date of this Agreement, no Person shall have merged or consolidated with or into any Assignor, and no Person shall have liquidated into, or transferred all or substantially all of its assets to, any Assignor, in each case except as described in Annex D hereto. With respect to any transactions so described in Annex D hereto, the respective Assignor shall have furnished such information reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent with respect to the Person (and the assets of the Person and locations thereof) which merged with or into or consolidated with such Assignor, or was liquidated into or transferred all or substantially all of its assets to such Assignor, and shall have furnished, or caused to be furnished, to the Collateral Agent such UCC lien searches as may have been requested by the Collateral Agent with respect to such Person and its assets, to establish that no security interest (excluding Permitted Liens) continues perfected on the date hereof with respect to any Person described above (or the assets transferred to the respective Assignor by such Person), including without limitation pursuant to Section 9-316(a)(3) of the UCC.

Without limiting the provisions of the Credit Agreement, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and if any Inventory constituting Collateral or other Goods constituting Collateral, other than such Inventory or Goods having a market value not in excess of $5,000,000 in the aggregate and other than Dutch Pledged Inventory, are in the possession of a bailee, such Assignor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, if requested by the Collateral Agent, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain an acknowledgment from such bailee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, that the bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of

the Collateral Agent and shall act upon the instructions of the Collateral Agent, without the further consent of such Assignor. The Collateral Agent agrees with such Assignor that the Collateral Agent shall not give any such instructions unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

This Agreement is made with full recourse to each Assignor and pursuant to and upon all the warranties, representations, covenants and agreements on the part of such Assignor contained herein and in the other Secured Debt Agreements and otherwise in writing in connection herewith or therewith.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS CONCERNING ACCOUNTS; CONTRACT RIGHTS; INSTRUMENTS; CHATTEL PAPER AND CERTAIN OTHER COLLATERAL

As of the time when each of its Eligible Accounts arises, each Assignor shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that each such Eligible Account, and all records, papers and documents relating thereto (if any) are genuine and what they purport to be in all material respects, and that all papers and documents (if any) relating thereto (i) will, to the knowledge of a Responsible Officer of such Assignor, represent the genuine, legal, valid and binding obligation of the account debtor evidencing indebtedness unpaid and owed by the respective account debtor arising out of the performance of labor or services or the sale or lease and delivery of the merchandise listed therein, or both, enforceable against the account debtor in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law), (ii) will be the only original writings evidencing and embodying such obligation of the account debtor named therein (other than copies created for general accounting or other ordinary corporate purposes), and (iii) will be in compliance and will conform in all material respects with all applicable federal, state and local laws and applicable laws of any relevant foreign jurisdiction.

Each Assignor will keep and maintain at its own cost and expense accurate records of its Accounts and Contracts, in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement, and such Assignor will make the same available on such Assignor’s premises to the Collateral Agent for inspection in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and at the request of the Collateral Agent, such Assignor shall, at its own cost and expense, deliver copies (or, if requested by the Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, originals) of all tangible evidence of its Accounts and Contract Rights (including, without limitation, all documents evidencing the Accounts and all Contracts) and such books and records to the Collateral Agent or to its representatives (copies of such evidence and books and records may be retained by such Assignor). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and if the Collateral Agent so directs, such Assignor shall legend, in form and manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, the Accounts and the Contracts, as well as books,

records and documents (if any) of such Assignor evidencing or pertaining to such Accounts and Contracts with an appropriate reference to the fact that such Accounts and Contracts have been assigned to the Collateral Agent and that the Collateral Agent has a security interest therein.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (but without limiting the provisions of the Credit Agreement), if the Collateral Agent so directs any Assignor, such Assignor agrees (x) to cause all payments on account of the Accounts and Contracts to be made directly to the Cash Collateral Account, (y) that the Collateral Agent may, at its option, directly notify the obligors with respect to any Accounts and/or under any Contracts to make payments with respect thereto as provided in the preceding clause (x), and (z) that the Collateral Agent may enforce collection of any such Accounts and Contracts and may adjust, settle or compromise the amount of payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Assignor. Without notice to or assent by any Assignor, the Collateral Agent may, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, apply any or all amounts then in, or thereafter deposited in, the Cash Collateral Account toward the payment of the Obligations in the manner provided in Section 5.4 of this Agreement. The reasonable and invoiced out-of-pocket costs and expenses of collection (including reasonable and invoiced out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees), whether incurred by an Assignor or the Collateral Agent, shall be borne by the relevant Assignor. The Collateral Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of each notice given to any such obligors referred to in the preceding clause (y) to the relevant Assignor, provided that (x) the failure by the Collateral Agent to so notify such Assignor shall not affect the effectiveness of such notice or the other rights of the Collateral Agent created by this Section 3.3 and (y) no such notice shall be required if an Event of Default of the type described in Section 11.05 of the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing.

Except (w) in accordance with such Assignor’s ordinary course of business, (x) as otherwise in such Assignor’s reasonable business judgment, (y) as permitted by the Credit Agreement or (z) as permitted by Section 3.5 hereof, no Assignor shall rescind or cancel any indebtedness evidenced by any Account or under any Contract constituting Collateral, or modify any term thereof or make any adjustment with respect thereto, or extend or renew the same, or compromise or settle any dispute, claim, suit or legal proceeding relating thereto, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent. Except to the extent otherwise permitted by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement, no Assignor will do anything to impair in any material respect the rights of the Collateral Agent in the Accounts or Contracts.

directed by the Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any Assignor may allow in the ordinary course of business as adjustments to amounts owing under its Accounts and Contracts constituting Collateral (i) an extension or renewal of the time or times of payment, or settlement for less than the total unpaid balance, which such Assignor finds appropriate in accordance with its reasonable business judgment, (ii) a refund or credit due as a result of returned or damaged merchandise or improperly performed services or for other reasons which such Assignor finds appropriate in accordance with its reasonable business judgment and (iii) such other adjustments which such Assignor finds appropriate in accordance with its reasonable business judgment.

If any Assignor owns or acquires any Instrument of $5,000,000 or more constituting Collateral (other than checks and other payment instruments received and collected in the ordinary course of business), such Assignor will within 30 days thereafter notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and upon request by the Collateral Agent will promptly deliver such Instrument to the Collateral Agent appropriately endorsed to the order of the Collateral Agent.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Assignors shall remain liable under each of the Accounts to observe and perform all of the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by them thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise to such Accounts. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Creditor shall have any obligation or liability under any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Creditor of any payment relating to such Account pursuant hereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Creditor be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Assignor under or pursuant to any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by them or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to them or to which they may be entitled at any time or times.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Assignors shall remain liable under each of the Contracts constituting Collateral to observe and perform all of the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by them thereunder, all in accordance with and pursuant to the terms and provisions of each such Contract. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Creditor shall have any obligation or liability under any Contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Creditor of any payment relating to such Contract pursuant hereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Creditor be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Assignor under or pursuant to any Contract, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Contract, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to them or to which they may be entitled at any time or times.

If any Assignor is at any time a beneficiary under a letter of credit constituting Collateral in respect of Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory, with a stated amount of $5,000,000 or more in the aggregate, such Assignor shall, no later than the next date required to deliver a compliance certificate pursuant to Section 9.01(d) of the Credit Agreement, notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, at the request of the Collateral Agent, such Assignor shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to the Collateral Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under such letter of credit or (ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of such letter of credit, with the Collateral Agent agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit are retained by the Collateral Agent and to be applied as provided in this Agreement only after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

Upon the request of the Collateral Agent made at any time or from time to time, each Assignor shall promptly furnish to the Collateral Agent a list of all Electronic Chattel Paper constituting Collateral held or owned by such Assignor. Furthermore, if requested by the Collateral Agent, each Assignor shall promptly take all actions which are commercially reasonably so that the Collateral Agent has “control” of all Electronic Chattel Paper, to the extent that the aggregate value or face amount of such Electronic Chattel Paper equals or exceeds $5,000,000 in the aggregate, in accordance with the requirements of Section 9-105 of the UCC. Each Assignor will promptly (and in any event within 10 days (as such period of time may be extended by the Collateral Agent in its discretion) following any request by the Collateral Agent deliver all of its Tangible Chattel Paper to the Collateral Agent, to the extent that the aggregate value or face amount of such Tangible Chattel Paper equals or exceeds $5,000,000 in the aggregate.

Each Assignor will, at its own expense take such actions as are required by Section 9.12(a) of the Credit Agreement.

Except as otherwise not prohibited by the Credit Documents, no Assignor will do anything to impair in any material respect the rights of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral. Each Assignor will at all times maintain insurance, at such Assignor’s own expense to the extent and in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement. Except to the extent otherwise permitted to be retained by such Assignor or applied by such Assignor pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall, at the time any proceeds of such insurance are distributed to the Secured Creditors, apply such proceeds in accordance with Section 5.4 hereof. Each Assignor assumes all liability and responsibility in connection with the Collateral acquired by it and the liability of such Assignor to pay the Obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the fact that such Collateral may be lost, destroyed, stolen, damaged or for any reason whatsoever unavailable to such Assignor.

Each Assignor will, at its own expense, from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, promptly (and in any event within 10 days after its receipt of the respective request (as such period of time may be extended by the Collateral Agent in its discretion)) (i) furnish to the Collateral Agent such information with respect to the Collateral (including the identity of the Collateral or such components thereof as may have been requested by the Collateral Agent, the value and location of such Collateral, etc.) as may be requested by the Collateral Agent, (ii) deliver to the Collateral Agent copies of warehouse receipts, receipts in the nature of warehouse receipts, bills of lading, documents of title and invoices in each case relating to Collateral and (iii) with respect to any negotiable bill of lading, provide confirmation that such bill is issued in the name of the relevant Assignor. Without limiting the forgoing, each Assignor agrees that it shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after its receipt of the respective request (as such period of time may be extended by the Collateral Agent in its discretion)) furnish to the Collateral Agent such updated Annexes as may from time to time be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent.

Each Assignor agrees to execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent such financing statements, in form reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent, as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request or as are reasonably necessary or desirable in the opinion of, and at the request of, the Collateral Agent to establish and maintain a valid, enforceable, perfected security interest in the Collateral as provided herein and the other rights and security contemplated hereby. Each Assignor will pay any applicable filing fees, recordation taxes and related expenses relating to its Collateral. Each Assignor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file any such financing statements describing the Collateral without the signature of such Assignor where permitted by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if reasonably requested by any Assignor, the Collateral Agent shall, at Assignor’s expense, make such filings as may be reasonably requested to evidence that the security interests hereunder do not attach to any property that does not constitute Collateral (including any property that constitutes Excluded Assets).

Each Assignor agrees that, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then and in every such case, the Collateral Agent, in addition to any rights now or hereafter existing under applicable law and under the other provisions of this Agreement, shall have all rights as a secured creditor under any UCC, and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured creditor is entitled under the laws in effect in all relevant jurisdictions and may:

purpose may enter upon such Assignor’s premises where any of the Collateral is located and remove the same and use in connection with such removal any and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of such Assignor;

(ii) instruct the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation (including, without limitation, the Accounts and the Contracts) constituting the Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other obligation directly to the Collateral Agent and may exercise any and all remedies of such Assignor in respect of such Collateral;

(iii) instruct all banks which have entered into a control agreement with the Collateral Agent to transfer all monies, securities and instruments held by such depositary bank to the Cash Collateral Account;

(iv) sell, assign or otherwise liquidate any or all of the Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with Section 5.2 hereof, or direct such Assignor to sell, assign or otherwise liquidate any or all of the Collateral or any part thereof, and, in each case, take possession of the proceeds of any such sale or liquidation;

(v) take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by directing such Assignor in writing to deliver the same to the Collateral Agent at any reasonable place or places designated by the Collateral Agent, in which event such Assignor shall at its own expense:

(x) forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places so designated by the Collateral Agent and there delivered to the Collateral Agent;

(y) store and keep any Collateral so delivered to the Collateral Agent at such place or places pending further action by the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 5.2 hereof; and

(z) while the Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide such security and maintenance services as shall be reasonably necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain it in good condition;

(vii) apply any monies constituting Collateral or proceeds thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.4; and

(viii) take any other action as specified in clauses (1) through (5), inclusive, of Section 9-607(a) of the UCC;

it being understood that each Assignor’s obligation so to deliver the Collateral is of the essence of this Agreement and that, accordingly, upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by such Assignor of said obligation. By accepting the benefits of this Agreement and each other Security Document, the Secured Creditors expressly acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and each other Security Document may be enforced only by the action of the Collateral Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders and that no other Secured Creditor shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors upon the terms of this Agreement and the other Security Documents.

If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then any Collateral repossessed by the Collateral Agent under or pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof and any other Collateral whether or not so repossessed by the Collateral Agent, may be sold, assigned, leased or otherwise disposed of under one or more contracts or as an entirety, and without the necessity of gathering at the place of sale the property to be sold, and in general in such manner, at such time or times, at such place or places and on such terms as the Collateral Agent may, in compliance with any mandatory requirements of applicable law, determine to be commercially reasonable. Any of such Collateral may be sold, leased or otherwise disposed of, in the condition in which the same existed when taken by the Collateral Agent or after any overhaul or repair at the expense of the relevant Assignor which the Collateral Agent shall determine to be commercially reasonable. Any such sale, lease or other disposition may be effected by means of a public disposition or private disposition, effected in accordance with the applicable requirements (in each case if and to the extent applicable) of Sections 9-610 through 9-613 of the UCC and/or such other mandatory requirements of applicable law as may apply to the respective disposition. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private disposition or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the disposition, and such disposition may be made at any time or place to which the disposition may be so adjourned. To the extent permitted by any such requirement of law, the Collateral Agent may bid for and become the purchaser (and may pay all or any portion of the purchase price by crediting Obligations against the purchase price) of the Collateral or any item thereof, offered for disposition in accordance with this Section 5.2 without accountability to the relevant Assignor. If, under applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall be permitted to make disposition of the Collateral within a period of time which does not permit the giving of notice to the relevant Assignor as hereinabove specified, the Collateral Agent need give such Assignor only such notice of disposition as shall be required by such applicable law. Each Assignor agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary to make such disposition or dispositions of all or any portion of the Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at such Assignor’s expense.

COLLATERAL, IN EACH CASE AFTER THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES, and each Assignor hereby further waives, to the extent permitted by law:

(i) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession or any such disposition except any damages which are the direct result of the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision);

(ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder; and

(iii) all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof, and each Assignor, for itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as it or they now or hereafter lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws.

Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the relevant Assignor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against such Assignor and against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through and under such Assignor.

(a) All moneys collected by the Collateral Agent (or, to the extent any other Security Document requires proceeds of collateral under such other Security Document to be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the collateral agent under such other Security Document) upon any sale or other disposition of the Collateral, in connection with the Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, together with all other moneys received by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Security Document, shall be applied as follows:

(i) first , to the payment of all amounts owing the Collateral Agent of the type described in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of the definition of “Obligations”;

(ii) second , to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to preceding clause (i), an amount equal to the outstanding Primary Obligations shall be paid to the Secured Creditors as provided in Section 5.4(e) hereof, with each such Secured Creditor receiving an amount equal to its outstanding Primary Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all Primary Obligations described above, each Secured Creditor shall receive its Pro Rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed;

(iii) third , to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to preceding clauses (i) and (ii), an amount equal to the outstanding Secondary Obligations shall be paid to the Secured Creditors as provided in Section 5.4(e) hereof, with each such Secured Creditor receiving an amount equal to its outstanding Secondary Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all Secondary Obligations described above, each Secured Creditor shall receive its Pro Rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed; and

(iv) fourth , to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to preceding clauses (i) through (iii), inclusive, and following the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.8(a) hereof, to the relevant Assignor or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement: (i) “ Pro Rata Share ” shall mean, when calculating a Secured Creditor’s portion of any distribution or amount, that amount (expressed as a percentage) equal to a fraction the numerator of which is the then unpaid amount of such Secured Creditor’s Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is the then outstanding amount of all Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations owing to the applicable Secured Creditors entitled thereto, as the case may be; (ii) “ Primary Obligations ” shall mean all principal of, premium, fees and interest on, all Loans made to the Dutch Borrowers, all Unpaid Drawings (and all interest thereon) in respect of Letters of Credit issued for the account of a Dutch Borrower, the Stated Amount of (and the obligation to cash collateralize) all outstanding Letters of Credit issued for the account of a Dutch Borrower and all Fees in respect of which a Dutch Borrower (in its capacity as such) is obligated; and (iii) “ Secondary Obligations ” shall mean all Obligations other than Primary Obligations.

(c) When payments to Secured Creditors are based upon their respective Pro Rata Shares, the amounts received by such Secured Creditors hereunder shall be applied (for purposes of making determinations under this Section 5.4 only) (i) first , to their Primary Obligations and (ii) second , to their Secondary Obligations. If any payment to any Secured Creditor of its Pro Rata Share of any distribution would result in overpayment to such Secured Creditor, such excess amount shall instead be distributed in respect of the unpaid Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, of the other Secured Creditors entitled to such distribution, with each such Secured Creditor whose Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, have not been paid in full to receive an amount equal to such excess amount multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the unpaid Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, of such Secured Creditor and the denominator of which is the unpaid Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, of all Secured Creditors entitled to such distribution.

(d) Each of the Secured Creditors, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof and of the other Security Documents, agrees and acknowledges that if the Secured Creditors receive (or are to receive) a distribution on account of undrawn amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued under the Credit Agreement for the account of a Dutch Borrower (which shall only occur after all outstanding Revolving Loans under the Credit Agreement of any Dutch Borrower and Unpaid Drawings of any Dutch Borrower have been paid in full), such amounts shall be paid to the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement and held by it, for the

equal and ratable benefit of the Secured Creditors, as cash security for the repayment of Obligations owing to the Secured Creditors as such. If any amounts are held as cash security pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then upon the termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued under the Credit Agreement and for the account of a Dutch Borrower, and after the application of all such cash security to the repayment of all Obligations owing to the Secured Creditors after giving effect to the termination of all such Letters of Credit, if there remains any excess cash, such excess cash shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Collateral Agent for distribution in accordance with Section 5.4(a) hereof.

(e) All payments required to be made hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Secured Creditors.

(f) For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with this Section 5.4, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the Administrative Agent for a determination (which the Administrative Agent agrees to provide upon request of the Collateral Agent) of the outstanding Primary Obligations and Secondary Obligations owed to the Secured Creditors. Unless it has received written notice from a Secured Creditor to the contrary, the Administrative Agent, in furnishing information pursuant to the preceding sentence, and the Collateral Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Secondary Obligations are outstanding.

(g) It is understood that the Assignors shall remain jointly and severally liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Obligations.

(h) It is understood and agreed by each Assignor and each Secured Creditor that the Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any determinations made by it in this Section 5.4, in each case except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). Each Assignor and each Secured Creditor also agrees that the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be required to), at any time and in its sole discretion, and with no liability resulting therefrom, petition a court of competent jurisdiction regarding any application of Collateral in accordance with the requirements hereof, and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to wait for, and may conclusively rely on, any such determination.

demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. In the event that the Collateral Agent shall bring any suit to enforce any of its rights hereunder and shall be entitled to judgment, then in such suit the Collateral Agent may recover reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the amounts thereof shall be included in such judgment.

In case the Collateral Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and in every such case the relevant Assignor, the Collateral Agent and each holder of any of the Obligations shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral subject to the security interest created under this Agreement, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Agent shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.

Each Assignor hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, all Indebtedness owing by it to any Subsidiary of the Company (other than any Subsidiary Guarantor) shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of such Assignor’s Obligations.

Each Assignor agrees that upon written notice by any Indemnitee of the assertion of such a liability, obligation, damage, injury, penalty, claim, demand, action, suit or judgment, the relevant Assignor shall assume full responsibility for the defense thereof. Each Indemnitee agrees to use its best efforts to promptly notify the relevant Assignor of any such assertion of which such Indemnitee has knowledge.

(b) Without limiting the application of Section 6.1(a) hereof, each Assignor agrees, jointly and severally, to pay or reimburse the Collateral Agent for any and all reasonable and invoiced out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature incurred in connection with the creation, preservation or protection of the Collateral Agent’s Liens on, and security interest in, the Collateral, including, without limitation, all fees and taxes in connection with the recording or filing of instruments and documents in public offices, payment or discharge of any taxes or Liens upon or in respect of the Collateral, premiums for insurance with respect to the Collateral and all other fees, costs and expenses in connection with protecting, maintaining or preserving the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s interest therein, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, or in defending or prosecuting any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to the Collateral.
