Item 1.01.  Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

SPX Corporation Credit Agreement

On September 1, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), SPX Corporation (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries (together with the Company, “we” or “us”) entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders that provided for committed senior secured financing in the aggregate amount of $1.2 billion, consisting of the following facilities (collectively, the “Senior Credit Facilities”), each with a final maturity of September 1, 2020:

·                  A term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $350 million;

·                  A domestic revolving credit facility, available for loans and letters of credit, in an aggregate principal amount up to $200 million;

·                  A global revolving credit facility, available for loans in Euros, Sterling and other currencies, in an aggregate principal amount up to the equivalent of $150 million;

·                  A participation multi-currency foreign credit instrument facility, available for performance letters of credit and guarantees, in an aggregate principal amount up to the equivalent of $300 million; and

·                  A bilateral multi-currency foreign credit instrument facility, available for performance letters of credit and guarantees, in an aggregate principal amount up to the equivalent of $200 million.

We also may seek additional commitments, without consent from the existing lenders, to add an incremental term loan facility and/or increase the commitments in respect of the domestic revolving credit facility, the global revolving credit facility, the participation foreign credit instrument facility and/or the bilateral foreign credit instrument facility by an aggregate principal amount not to exceed (x) $300 million plus (y) an unlimited amount so long as, immediately after giving effect thereto, our Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement generally as the ratio of consolidated total debt (excluding the face amount of undrawn letters of credit, bank undertakings, or analogous instruments and net of cash and cash equivalents in excess of $50 million) at the date of determination secured by liens to consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ended most recently before such date) does not exceed 2.75:1.00 plus (z) an amount equal to all voluntary prepayments of the term loan facility and voluntary prepayments accompanied by permanent commitment reductions of the revolving credit facilities and foreign credit instrument facilities.

We are the borrower under each of the Senior Credit Facilities, and certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are (and the Company may designate other foreign subsidiaries to be) borrowers under the global revolving credit facility and the foreign credit instrument facilities.

All borrowings and other extensions of credit under the Senior Credit Facilities are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including absence of defaults and accuracy in material respects of representations and warranties.

The letters of credit under the domestic revolving credit facility are stand-by letters of credit requested by the Company on behalf of itself or any of its subsidiaries or certain joint ventures.  The foreign credit instrument facility is used to issue foreign credit instruments, including bank undertakings to support our foreign operations.

The interest rates applicable to loans under the Senior Credit Facilities are, at our option, equal to either (x) an alternate base rate (the highest of (a) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A., and (c) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.0%) or (y) a reserve-adjusted LIBOR rate for dollars (Eurodollar) plus, in each case, an applicable margin percentage, which varies based on our Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement generally as the ratio of consolidated total debt (excluding the face amount of undrawn letters of credit, bank undertakings or analogous instruments and net of cash and cash equivalents in excess of $50 million) at the date of determination to consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ended most recently before such date).  We may elect interest periods of one, two, three, or six months (and, if consented to by all relevant lenders, twelve months) for Eurodollar borrowings. The per annum fees charged and the interest rate margins applicable to Eurodollar and alternate base rate loans are as follows:

2

The fees for bilateral foreign credit commitments are as specified above for foreign credit commitments unless otherwise agreed with the bilateral foreign issuing lender.  We also pay fronting fees on the outstanding amounts of letters of credit and foreign credit instruments (in the participation facility) at the rates of 0.125% per annum and 0.25% per annum, respectively.

The Senior Credit Facilities require mandatory prepayments in amounts equal to the net proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, including from any casualty to, or governmental taking of, property in excess of specified values (other than in the ordinary course of business and subject to other exceptions) by the Company or its subsidiaries.  Mandatory prepayments will be applied to repay, first, amounts outstanding under any term loans and, then, amounts (or cash collateralize letters of credit) outstanding under the global revolving credit facility and the domestic revolving credit facility (without reducing the commitments thereunder).  No prepayment is required generally to the extent the net proceeds are reinvested (or committed to be reinvested) in permitted acquisitions, permitted investments or assets to be used in our business within 360 days (and if committed to be reinvested, actually reinvested within 180 days after the end of such 360-day period) of the receipt of such proceeds.

We may voluntarily prepay loans under the Senior Credit Facilities, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. Any voluntary prepayment of loans will be subject to reimbursement of the lenders’ breakage costs in the case of a prepayment of Eurodollar rate borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period.

Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities is guaranteed by:

·                  Each existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic material subsidiary with specified exceptions; and

·                  The Company with respect to the obligations of our foreign borrower subsidiaries under the global revolving credit facility, the participation foreign credit instrument facility and the bilateral foreign credit instrument facility.

Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities is secured by a first priority pledge and security interest in 100% of the capital stock of our domestic subsidiaries (with certain exceptions) held by the Company or its domestic subsidiary guarantors and 65% of the capital stock of our material first-tier foreign subsidiaries (with certain exceptions).  If the Company obtains a corporate credit rating from Moody’s and S&P and such corporate credit rating is less than “Ba2” (or not rated) by Moody’s and less than “BB” (or not rated) by S&P, then the Company and its domestic subsidiary guarantors are required to grant security interests, mortgages and other liens on substantially all of their assets.  If the Company’s corporate credit rating is “Baa3” or better by Moody’s or “BBB-” or better by S&P and no defaults would exist, then all collateral security will be released and the indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities will be unsecured.

The Credit Agreement requires that the Company maintain:

·                  A Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) generally as the ratio of consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ended on such date to consolidated cash interest expense for such period) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of at least 3.50 to 1.00; and

3

·                  A Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of not more than 3.25 to 1.00 (or 3.50 to 1.00 for the four fiscal quarters after certain permitted acquisitions).

The Credit Agreement also contains covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, loans, guarantees, or advances, make restricted junior payments, including dividends, redemptions of capital stock, and voluntary prepayments or repurchase of certain other indebtedness, engage in mergers, acquisitions or sales of assets, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, or engage in certain transactions with affiliates, and otherwise restrict certain corporate activities.  The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default.

We are permitted under the Credit Agreement to repurchase our capital stock and pay cash dividends in an unlimited amount if our Consolidated Leverage Ratio is (after giving pro forma effect to such payments) less than 2.50 to 1.00.  If our Consolidated Leverage Ratio is (after giving pro forma effect to such payments) greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00, the aggregate amount of such repurchases and dividend declarations cannot exceed (A) $50 million in any fiscal year plus (B) an additional amount for all such repurchases and dividend declarations made after the Effective Date equal to the sum of (i) $100 million plus (ii) a positive amount equal to 50% of cumulative Consolidated Net Income (as defined in the Credit Agreement generally as consolidated net income subject to certain adjustments solely for the purposes of determining this basket) during the period from the Effective Date to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter preceding the date of such repurchase or dividend declaration for which financial statements have been (or were required to be) delivered (or, in case such Consolidated Net Income is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit) plus (iii) certain other amounts.

The initial funding under the Senior Credit Facilities is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and is expected to occur near the end of the Company’s third quarter of 2015, substantially contemporaneously with the completion of the Company’s previously announced spin-off of SPX FLOW, Inc.  The proceeds of the initial borrowings will be used in part to repay indebtedness outstanding under the Company’s existing amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of December 13, 2013, among the Company, the foreign subsidiary borrowers party thereto, and the agents and lenders party thereto.

SPX FLOW, Inc. Credit Agreement

On the Effective Date, SPX FLOW, Inc., currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain of SPX Flow’s subsidiaries (collectively, “SPX FLOW”) entered into a credit agreement (the “SPX FLOW Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders that provided for committed senior secured financing in the aggregate amount of $1.35 billion, consisting of the following facilities (collectively, the “SPX FLOW Senior Credit Facilities”), each with a final maturity of September 1, 2020:

·                  A term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $400 million;

·                  A domestic revolving credit facility, available for loans and letters of credit, in an aggregate principal amount up to $250 million;

·                  A global revolving credit facility, available for loans in Euros, Sterling and other currencies, in an aggregate principal amount up to the equivalent of $200 million;

·                  A participation multi-currency foreign credit instrument facility, available for performance letters of credit and guarantees, in an aggregate principal amount up to the equivalent of $250 million; and

·                  A bilateral multi-currency foreign credit instrument facility, available for performance letters of credit and guarantees, in an aggregate principal amount up to the equivalent of $250 million.

SPX FLOW also may seek additional commitments, without consent from the existing lenders, to add an incremental term loan facility and/or increase the commitments in respect of the domestic revolving credit facility, the global revolving credit facility, the participation foreign credit instrument facility, and/or the bilateral foreign credit instrument facility by an aggregate principal amount not to exceed (x) $500 million plus (y) an unlimited amount so long as, immediately after giving effect thereto, SPX FLOW’s Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the SPX FLOW Credit Agreement generally as the ratio of consolidated total debt (excluding the face amount of undrawn letters of credit, bank undertakings, or analogous instruments and net of cash and cash equivalents in excess of $50 million) at the date of determination secured by liens to consolidated adjusted EBITDA

4

for the four fiscal quarters ended most recently before such date) does not exceed 2.75:1.00 plus (z) an amount equal to all voluntary prepayments of the term loan facility and voluntary prepayments accompanied by permanent commitment reductions of the revolving credit facilities and foreign credit instrument facilities.

SPX FLOW is the borrower under each of the SPX FLOW Senior Credit Facilities, and certain of SPX FLOW’s foreign subsidiaries are (and SPX FLOW may designate other foreign subsidiaries to be) borrowers under the global revolving credit facility and the foreign credit instrument facilities.

All borrowings and other extensions of credit under the SPX FLOW Senior Credit Facilities are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including absence of defaults and accuracy in material respects of representations and warranties.

The letters of credit under the domestic revolving credit facility are stand-by letters of credit requested by SPX FLOW on behalf of itself or any of its subsidiaries or certain joint ventures.  The foreign credit instrument facility is used to issue foreign credit instruments, including bank undertakings to support our foreign operations.

The interest rates applicable to loans under the SPX FLOW Senior Credit Facilities are, at SPX FLOW’s option, equal to either (x) an alternate base rate (the highest of (a) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A., and (c) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.0%) or (y) a reserve-adjusted LIBOR rate for dollars (Eurodollar) plus, in each case, an applicable margin percentage, which varies based on SPX FLOW’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the SPX FLOW Credit Agreement generally as the ratio of consolidated total debt (excluding the face amount of undrawn letters of credit, bank undertakings or analogous instruments and net of cash and cash equivalents in excess of $50 million) at the date of determination to consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ended most recently before such date).  SPX FLOW may elect interest periods of one, two, three, or six months (and, if consented to by all relevant lenders, twelve months) for Eurodollar borrowings.  The per annum fees charged and the interest rate margins applicable to Eurodollar and alternate base rate loans are as follows:

The fees for bilateral foreign credit commitments are as specified above for foreign credit commitments unless otherwise agreed with the bilateral foreign issuing lender.  SPX FLOW also pays fronting fees on the outstanding amounts of letters of credit and foreign credit instruments (in the participation facility) at the rates of 0.125% per annum and 0.25% per annum, respectively.

The SPX FLOW Senior Credit Facilities require mandatory prepayments in amounts equal to the net proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, including from any casualty to, or governmental taking of, property in excess of specified values (other than in the ordinary course of business and subject to other exceptions) by SPX FLOW or its subsidiaries.  Mandatory prepayments will be applied to repay, first, amounts outstanding under any term loans and, then, amounts (or cash collateralize letters of credit) outstanding under the global revolving credit facility and the domestic revolving credit facility (without reducing the commitments thereunder).  No prepayment is required generally to the extent the net proceeds are reinvested (or committed to be reinvested) in permitted acquisitions, permitted investments or assets to be used in our business within 360 days (and if committed to be reinvested, actually reinvested within 180 days after the end of such 360-day period) of the receipt of such proceeds.

5

SPX FLOW may voluntarily prepay loans under the SPX FLOW Senior Credit Facilities, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.  Any voluntary prepayment of loans will be subject to reimbursement of the lenders’ breakage costs in the case of a prepayment of Eurodollar rate borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period.

Indebtedness under the SPX FLOW Senior Credit Facilities is guaranteed by:

·                  Each existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic material subsidiary of SPX Flow with specified exceptions; and

·                  SPX FLOW with respect to the obligations of its foreign borrower subsidiaries under the global revolving credit facility, the participation foreign credit instrument facility and the bilateral foreign credit instrument facility.

Indebtedness under the SPX FLOW Senior Credit Facilities is secured by a first priority pledge and security interest in 100% of the capital stock of SPX FLOW’s domestic subsidiaries (with certain exceptions) held by SPX FLOW or its domestic subsidiary guarantors and 65% of the capital stock of SPX FLOW’s material first-tier foreign subsidiaries (with certain exceptions).  If SPX FLOW’s corporate credit rating is less than “Ba2” (or not rated) by Moody’s and less than “BB” (or not rated) by S&P, then SPX FLOW and its domestic subsidiary guarantors are required to grant security interests, mortgages and other liens on substantially all their assets.  If SPX FLOW’s corporate credit rating is “Baa3” or better by Moody’s or “BBB-” or better by S&P and no defaults would exist, then all collateral security will be released and the indebtedness under the SPX FLOW Senior Credit Facilities will be unsecured.

The SPX FLOW Credit Agreement requires that SPX FLOW maintain:

·                  A Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the SPX FLOW Credit Agreement generally as the ratio of consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ended on such date to consolidated cash interest expense for such period) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of at least 3.50 to 1.00; and

·                  A Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of not more than 3.25 to 1.00 (or 3.50 to 1.00 for the four fiscal quarters after certain permitted acquisitions).

The SPX FLOW Credit Agreement also contains covenants that, among other things, restrict SPX FLOW’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, loans, guarantees, or advances, make restricted junior payments, including dividends, redemptions of capital stock, and voluntary prepayments or repurchase of certain other indebtedness, engage in mergers, acquisitions or sales of assets, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, or engage in certain transactions with affiliates, and otherwise restrict certain corporate activities.  The SPX FLOW Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default.

SPX FLOW is permitted under the SPX FLOW Credit Agreement to repurchase its capital stock and pay cash dividends in an unlimited amount if SPX FLOW’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio is (after giving pro forma effect to such payments) less than 2.50 to 1.00.  If SPX FLOW’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio is (after giving pro forma effect to such payments) greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00, the aggregate amount of such repurchases and dividend declarations cannot exceed (A) $100 million in any fiscal year plus (B) an additional amount for all such repurchases and dividend declarations made after the Effective Date equal to the sum of (i) $300 million plus (ii) a positive amount equal to 50% of cumulative Consolidated Net Income (as defined in the SPX FLOW Credit Agreement generally as consolidated net income subject to certain adjustments solely for the purposes of determining this basket) during the period from the Effective Date to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter preceding the date of such repurchase or dividend declaration for which financial statements have been (or were required to be) delivered (or, in case such Consolidated Net Income is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit) plus (iii) certain other amounts.

The initial funding under the SPX FLOW Senior Credit Facilities is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and is expected to occur near the end of the Company’s third quarter of 2015, substantially contemporaneously with the completion of the Company’s previously announced spin-off of SPX FLOW, Inc.  The

45

or FCI, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit or FCI shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit or FCI after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

Section 1.9                                   Additional Alternative Currencies.

(a)                                 The Parent Borrower may from time to time request that Eurocurrency Loans be made, or Financial Letters of Credit be issued, in a currency other than those specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency”; provided that (x) such requested currency is a lawful currency (other than Dollars) that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars, (y) any such request shall be subject to the approval of (i) subject to Section 2.21(b), each Lender with a Commitment under the Facility in which such currency is requested to be made available and (ii) the Administrative Agent and, if different, the Agent with respect to such Facility and (z) in the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Financial Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to the approval of each applicable Issuing Lender and the Agent with respect to the applicable Facility.

(b)                                 Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the desired credit extensions (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such request pertaining to Financial Letters of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender(s) in its or their sole discretion.  In the case of any such request pertaining to Eurocurrency Loans, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender that has a Commitment with respect to the applicable Facility; and in the case of any such request pertaining to Financial Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Lender(s) thereof.  Each Lender that has a Commitment with respect to such Facility (in the case of any such request pertaining to Eurocurrency Loans), the applicable Issuing Lender(s) (in the case of a request pertaining to Financial Letters of Credit) shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., five (5) Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Eurocurrency Loans or the issuance of Financial Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency.

(c)                                  Any failure by a Lender or the applicable Issuing Lender(s), as the case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to permit Eurocurrency Loans to be made or Financial Letters of Credit, as the case may be, to be issued in such requested currency.  If the Administrative Agent and all the Lenders that have a Commitment with respect to the applicable Facility and, if applicable, the impacted Issuing Lender(s) each consent to making Eurocurrency Loans and/or the issuance of Financial Letters of Credit, as applicable, in such requested currency and the Administrative Agent, such Lenders and such Issuing Lender(s), as appropriate, reasonably determine that an appropriate interest rate is available to be used for such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Parent Borrower and (i) the Administrative Agent, such Lenders and/or such Issuing Lenders, as applicable, may amend the definition of Eurocurrency Rate for any Non-LIBOR Quoted Currency to the extent necessary to add the applicable Eurocurrency Rate for such currency and (ii) to the extent the definition of Eurocurrency Rate reflects the appropriate interest rate for such currency or has been amended to reflect the appropriate rate for such currency, such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency for purposes of any Borrowings of Eurocurrency Loans or the issuance of Financial Letters of Credit, as applicable.  If the Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.9, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Parent Borrower.

ARTICLE II

THE CREDITS

Section 2.1                                   Commitments; Incremental Facilities.

(a)                                 Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each relevant Lender agrees (i) to severally make Domestic Revolving Loans in Dollars to the Parent Borrower from time to time during the Domestic Revolving Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in such Lender’s Domestic Revolving Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Domestic Revolving Commitment and (ii) to severally make Global Revolving Loans in Dollars or Alternative Currencies (as specified in the Borrowing Requests with respect thereto) to any Borrower from time to time during the Global Revolving Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in such Lender’s Global Revolving Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Global Revolving Commitment.  Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Parent Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Domestic Revolving Loans, and any Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Global Revolving Loans.

(b)                                 So long as no Default or Event of Default (including, on a pro forma basis, pursuant to Section 6.1) shall be in existence or would be caused thereby, the Parent Borrower and any one or more Lenders may from time to time agree that such Lenders (or any other additional bank, financial institution or other entity which becomes a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.1(b)) shall add one or more term loan facilities (the loans thereunder, the “Incremental Term Loans”) and/or increase the Commitments in respect of any of the Facilities by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any increase in the Participation FCI Commitments, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, an Incremental Facility Activation Notice specifying (i) the amount of such Incremental Term Loans and/or Commitment increase, and (ii) in the case of any Incremental Term Loans, (A) the applicable Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date, (B) the amortization schedule for such Incremental Term Loans, which shall comply with Section 2.11(a), (C) the Applicable Rate (and/or other pricing terms) for such Incremental Term Loans and (D) the requested currency (which may be in Dollars or any Alternative Currency); provided that the aggregate principal amount of borrowings of Incremental Term Loans outstanding at any time and Commitment increases pursuant to this subsection (b) in effect at any time shall not exceed (x) $300,000,000, plus (y) an unlimited amount, provided, that, with respect to this clause (y), immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loans or establishment of any increase in the Commitments (tested solely on the date of funding of any Incremental Term Loan or establishment of any increase in the Commitments as set forth in the Incremental Facility Activation Notice and not any time thereafter) the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (or, following the Release Date, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio) as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Parent Borrower most recently ended for which the Parent Borrower has delivered financial statements pursuant to Section 5.1(a) or (b) shall not be greater than 2.75:1.00 after giving effect to such Commitment increase (assuming the Revolving Commitments are fully drawn) and/or such Incremental Term Loan (assuming such Incremental Term Loan is fully drawn, even if some portion of such Incremental Term Loan will be available on a delayed draw basis) on a pro forma basis, plus (z) an amount equal to all voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.12(a), all voluntary prepayments of the Domestic Revolving Loans or the Global Revolving Loans made pursuant to Section 2.12(a) (so long as such voluntary prepayment is accompanied by a permanent reduction in the aggregate Domestic Revolving Commitments or the aggregate Global Revolving Commitments, as applicable), and all voluntary prepayments of, or Cash Cover for, Bilateral FCIs and/or the Participation FCIs, in each case other than to the extent funded with the proceeds of incurrences of long-term Indebtedness (so long as such voluntary prepayment is accompanied by a permanent reduction in the aggregate Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment or the aggregate Participation FCI Commitment, as applicable) (it being understood and agreed that (i) if the Parent Borrower has

47

previously reduced or concurrently reduces the Participation FCI Commitment pursuant to Section 2.9 at such time as it increases the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment pursuant to this subsection (b), such increase of the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment shall be included in the calculation of the amount in this subsection (b) only to the extent that such increase in the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment exceeds the reduction in the Participation FCI Commitment and (ii) if any Borrower repays any Incremental Term Loans and/or permanently terminates any Commitments provided pursuant to this subsection (b) the Parent Borrower shall have new availability under this subsection (b) for additional Incremental Term Loans and Commitment increases pursuant to this subsection (b) in the amount of such prepayment and/or termination up to the aggregate amount permitted above).  If the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment is increased, subject to Section 2.6(u), the Parent Borrower shall have the option of transferring existing FCIs from the Participation FCI Issuing Commitment to the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment.  In the case of any increase in the Commitments under any Facility (other than any Incremental Term Loan Facility), the terms applicable to such increased Commitments and the Loans thereunder shall be the same as the terms applicable to the Facility being so increased.  In the case of any increase of the Domestic Revolving Facility or the Global Revolving Facility, any new Lender added in connection with such increase must be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lenders (but not the Domestic Revolving Lenders or Global Revolving Lenders, as applicable).  In the case of any increase of the Foreign Trade Facility, any new Lender added in connection with such increase must be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and the applicable FCI Issuing Lenders (but not the Lenders with Participation FCI Commitments).  No Lender shall have any obligation to participate in any Incremental Term Loan or other increase described in this paragraph unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion.  Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity which, with the consent of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, if applicable, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), elects to become a “Lender” under this Agreement in connection with the making of any Incremental Term Loan or the making of any additional Commitment shall execute a New Lender Supplement, whereupon such bank, financial institution or other entity shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the proceeds of any Incremental Term Loan are being used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, and the Parent Borrower has obtained binding commitments of Incremental Term Lenders to fund such Incremental Term Loan (“Acquisition Financing Commitments”), then the conditions to the funding and incurrence of such Incremental Term Loan shall be limited as follows, if and to the extent such Incremental Term Lenders so agree with respect to their Acquisition Financing Commitments: (A) the condition set forth in Section 4.3(a) shall apply only with respect to customary “specified representations” approved by the Incremental Term Lenders providing the Acquisition Financing Commitments or if the circumstances giving rise to the failure of such conditions also entitle the Parent Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiaries to terminate its or their obligations under the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition (each, an “Acquisition Agreement”), and (B) the reference in Section 4.3(b) to no Default or Event of Default (and the condition above that no Default or Event of Default exist under Section 6.1 after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loan on a pro forma basis pursuant to Section 6.1) shall mean the absence of a Default or Event of Default at the date such Acquisition Agreement is executed and delivered and the absence of an Event of Default under paragraphs (a), (b), (h), (i) or (j) of Article VII at the date the applicable Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated (it being understood that this sentence shall not limit the conditions set forth in Section 4.3 with respect to any proposed Borrowing or the issuance of any Letter of Credit or FCI in connection with such Permitted Acquisition or otherwise).  Nothing in the foregoing constitutes a waiver of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or of any rights or remedies of Lenders and the Administrative Agent under any provision of the Loan Documents.

48

(c)                                  Extension Option for Domestic Revolving Commitments.

(i)                                     The Parent Borrower may from time to time during the term of this Agreement, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (such notice being a “Domestic Revolving Extension Notice”) delivered no later than 60 days prior to the Domestic Maturity Date (the date of such notice, the “Domestic Revolving Notice Date”), request the Domestic Revolving Lenders to extend the then applicable Domestic Revolving Maturity Date for an additional year (the “Extended Domestic Revolving Maturity Date”).  The Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit any Domestic Revolving Extension Notice to each Domestic Revolving Lender.  Each Domestic Revolving Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent whether it wishes to extend the then applicable Domestic Revolving Maturity Date at least 30 days (or such earlier date as directed by the Parent Borrower) prior to the then applicable Domestic Revolving Maturity Date, and any such notice given by a Domestic Revolving Lender to the Administrative Agent, once given, shall be irrevocable as to such Domestic Revolving Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower of the notice of each Domestic Revolving Lender that it wishes to extend (each, a “Domestic Revolving Extension Acceptance Notice”).  Any Domestic Revolving Lender which does not expressly notify the Administrative Agent on or before the date that is 30 days (or such earlier date as directed by the Parent Borrower) prior to the then applicable Domestic Revolving Maturity Date that it wishes to so extend the then applicable Domestic Revolving Maturity Date shall be deemed to have rejected the Parent Borrower’s request for extension of such Domestic Revolving Maturity Date.  If all the Domestic Revolving Lenders have elected (in their sole and absolute discretion) to so extend the then applicable Domestic Revolving Maturity Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower of such election by the Domestic Revolving Lenders no later than five Business Days after the date when Domestic Revolving Extension Acceptance Notices are due, and effective on the date of such notice by the Administrative Agent to the Parent Borrower (the “Domestic Revolving Extension Date”), the Domestic Revolving Maturity Date shall be automatically and immediately so extended to the Extended Domestic Revolving Maturity Date.  No extension of the Domestic Revolving Maturity Date will be permitted hereunder without the consent of all the Domestic Revolving Lenders (after giving effect to the replacement of any non-extending Domestic Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (iii) below, as applicable) unless, at the election of the Parent Borrower, in writing to the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower removes from the Domestic Revolving Facility each Domestic Revolving Lender that has not so consented to the Extended Domestic Revolving Maturity Date, in which case the Domestic Revolving Commitments of each such removed Domestic Revolving Lender will be automatically terminated as of the then applicable Domestic Revolving Maturity Date (not giving effect to the proposed extension), and the aggregate Domestic Revolving Commitments shall be reduced by the amounts of the Domestic Revolving Commitments of such removed Domestic Revolving Lenders; provided, that, (x) after giving effect to any such removal by the Parent Borrower and resulting termination of the Domestic Revolving Commitment any such removed Domestic Revolving Lender, (A) the total Domestic Revolving Exposure of the Domestic Revolving Lenders does not exceed the total Domestic Revolving Commitments of all the extending Domestic Revolving Lenders, and (B) the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall have entered into such agreements, if any, as any of them shall have reasonably requested to reflect such extension of the Domestic Revolving Facility with reduced Domestic Revolving Commitments reflecting the removal of such Domestic Revolving Lenders (and any participations purchased under this Agreement shall be automatically appropriately adjusted in amount to reflect such changed Commitments) and (y) any such removed Domestic Revolving Lender shall have received payment of all amounts owing to such removed Domestic Revolving Lender with respect to its Domestic Revolving Commitment, including the repayment of an amount equal to the outstanding funded participations of all Financial LC Disbursements made by

49

such removed Domestic Revolving Lender, any accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in connection with such Commitment.  Upon the delivery of a Domestic Revolving Extension Notice and upon the extension of the Domestic Revolving Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 2.1(c)(i), the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted on and as of the Domestic Revolving Notice Date and the Domestic Revolving Extension Date, as the case may be, that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to issue Letters of Credit beyond the Domestic Revolving Maturity Date unless such Issuing Lender agrees in writing to issue Letters of Credit until the Extended Domestic Revolving Maturity Date.

(ii)                                  If the Domestic Revolving Maturity Date shall have been extended in accordance with Section 2.1(c)(i), all references herein to the “Domestic Revolving Maturity Date” shall refer to the Extended Domestic Revolving Maturity Date.

(iii)                               The Parent Borrower shall have the right on or before the applicable Domestic Revolving Maturity Date to replace each non-extending Domestic Revolving Lender with one or more Persons (A) reasonably satisfactory to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (B) satisfactory to the Issuing Lenders in their sole discretion (the “Additional Domestic Revolving Commitment Lender”), as provided in Section 2.21(b), each of which such Additional Domestic Revolving Commitment Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Additional Domestic Revolving Commitment Lender shall, effective as of the applicable Domestic Revolving Maturity Date, undertake a Domestic Revolving Commitment (and if any such Additional Domestic Revolving Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its new Domestic Revolving Commitment shall be in addition to any other Commitment of such Lender on such date).

(d)                                 Extension Option for Global Revolving Commitments.

(i)                                     The Parent Borrower may from time to time during the term of this Agreement, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (such notice being a “Global Revolving Extension Notice”) delivered no later than 60 days prior to the Global Maturity Date (the date of such notice, the “Global Revolving Notice Date”), request the Global Revolving Lenders to extend the then applicable Global Revolving Maturity Date for an additional year (the “Extended Global Revolving Maturity Date”).  The Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit any Global Revolving Extension Notice to each Global Revolving Lender.  Each Global Revolving Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent whether it wishes to extend the then applicable Global Revolving Maturity Date at least 30 days (or such earlier date as directed by the Parent Borrower) prior to the then applicable Global Revolving Maturity Date, and any such notice given by a Global Revolving Lender to the Administrative Agent, once given, shall be irrevocable as to such Global Revolving Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower of the notice of each Global Revolving Lender that it wishes to extend (each, an “Global Revolving Extension Acceptance Notice”).  Any Global Revolving Lender which does not expressly notify the Administrative Agent on or before the date that is 30 days (or such earlier date as directed by the Parent Borrower) prior to the then applicable Global Revolving Maturity Date that it wishes to so extend the then applicable Global Revolving Maturity Date shall be deemed to have rejected the Parent Borrower’s request for extension of such Global Revolving Maturity Date.  If all the Global Revolving Lenders have elected (in their sole and absolute discretion) to so extend the then applicable Global Revolving Maturity Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower of such election by the Global Revolving Lenders no later than five Business Days after the date when Global Revolving Extension Acceptance Notices are

50

due, and effective on the date of such notice by the Administrative Agent to the Parent Borrower (the “Global Revolving Extension Date”), the Global Revolving Maturity Date shall be automatically and immediately so extended to the Extended Global Revolving Maturity Date.  No extension of the Global Revolving Maturity Date will be permitted hereunder without the consent of all the Global Revolving Lenders (after giving effect to the replacement of any non-extending Global Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (iii) below, as applicable) unless, at the election of the Parent Borrower, in writing to the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower removes from the Global Revolving Facility each Global Revolving Lender that has not so consented to the Extended Global Revolving Maturity Date, in which case the Global Revolving Commitments of each such removed Global Revolving Lender will be automatically terminated as of the then applicable Global Revolving Maturity Date (not giving effect to the proposed extension), and the aggregate Global Revolving Commitments shall be reduced by the amounts of the Global Revolving Commitments of such removed Global Revolving Lenders; provided, that, (x) after giving effect to any such removal by the Parent Borrower and resulting termination of the Global Revolving Commitment any such removed Global Revolving Lender, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall have entered into such agreements, if any, as any of them shall have reasonably requested to reflect such extension of the Global Revolving Facility with reduced Global Revolving Commitments reflecting the removal of such Global Revolving Lenders (and any participations purchased under this Agreement shall be automatically appropriately adjusted in amount to reflect such changed Commitments) and (y) any such removed Global Revolving Lender shall have received payment of all amounts owing to such removed Global Revolving Lender with respect to its Global Revolving Commitment, including the repayment of an amount equal to the outstanding funded participations of all Non-Financial LC Disbursements made by such removed Global Revolving Lender, any accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in connection with such Commitment.  Upon the delivery of a Global Revolving Extension Notice and upon the extension of the Global Revolving Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 2(c)(i), the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted on and as of the Global Revolving Notice Date and the Global Revolving Extension Date, as the case may be, that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(ii)                                  If the Global Revolving Maturity Date shall have been extended in accordance with Section 2.1(d)(i), all references herein to the “Global Revolving Maturity Date” shall refer to the Extended Global Revolving Maturity Date.

(iii)                               The Parent Borrower shall have the right on or before the applicable Global Revolving Maturity Date to replace each non-extending Global Revolving Lender with one or more Persons reasonably satisfactory to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent (the “Additional Global Revolving Commitment Lender”), as provided in Section 2.21(b), each of which such Additional Global Revolving Commitment Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Additional Global Revolving Commitment Lender shall, effective as of the applicable Global Revolving Maturity Date, undertake a Global Revolving Commitment (and if any such Additional Global Revolving Commitment Lender is already a Global Revolving Lender, its new Global Revolving Commitment shall be in addition to any other Commitment of such Lender on such date).

(e)                                  Term Loan A.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally has made its portion of a term loan (the “Term Loan A”) to the Parent Borrower in Dollars in an amount equal to such Lender’s Term Loan A Commitment.  Amounts repaid on the Term Loan A may not be reborrowed.  The Term Loan A may consist of ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans or a combination thereof, as further provided herein, provided, however, all Borrowings made on the Funding Date shall be

51

made as ABR Loans unless the Parent Borrower shall have delivered a funding indemnity letter in effect on the Funding Date to the Administrative Agent in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.2                                   Loans and Borrowings.

(a)                                 Each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder.

(b)                                 Subject to Section 2.16, (i) each Borrowing of Domestic Revolving Loans, the Term Loan A and each Incremental Term Loan denominated in Dollars shall consist entirely of ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans as the relevant Borrower may request in accordance herewith, (ii) each Borrowing of Global Revolving Loans shall consist entirely of Eurocurrency Loans and (iii) each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan.  Each Lender at its option may make any Loan to any Borrower by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the relevant Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c)                                  At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000.  At the time that each ABR Revolving Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000; provided that (i) a Borrowing of ABR Domestic Revolving Loans may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Domestic Revolving Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of a Financial LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.5(e)(i) and (ii) a Borrowing of ABR Global Revolving Loans may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Global Revolving Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of a Non-Financial LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.5(e)(ii).  Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $500,000.  No more than 10 Eurocurrency Borrowings may be outstanding at any one time under each Facility.

Section 2.4                                   Swingline Loans.

(a)                                 Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Parent Borrower from time to time during the Domestic Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $40,000,000 or (ii) the sum of the total Domestic Revolving Exposures exceeding the total Domestic Revolving Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan.  Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Parent Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

53

(c)                                  The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any Business Day require the Domestic Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding.  Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Domestic Revolving Lenders will participate.  Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Domestic Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loans.  Each Domestic Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loans.  Each Domestic Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.  Each Domestic Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.7 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.7 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Domestic Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Domestic Revolving Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender.  Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Parent Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Parent Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Domestic Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear.  The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Parent Borrower of its obligation to repay such Swingline Loan.

(a)                                 General.

(i)                                     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Parent Borrower may request the issuance of Financial Letters of Credit for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender, at any time and from time to time during the Domestic Revolving Availability Period.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the account party for each Financial Letter of Credit shall be the Parent Borrower or the relevant Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary or Joint Venture, as specified by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender in consultation with the Parent Borrower.  In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Parent Borrower to, or entered into by the Parent Borrower with, the applicable Issuing Lender relating to any Financial Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.  As specified on Schedule 1.1E, certain Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be “Financial Letters of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Parent Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender hereunder for any drawings under such Financial Letters of Credit.  Furthermore, if (v) any letter of credit has been previously issued by an Issuing Lender, (w) the reimbursement obligations of the account party (the “Original Financial Letter of Credit Account Party”) relating to such letter of credit have been or are assumed in writing by the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary

54

(such assuming Person, the “Financial Letter of Credit Assuming Person”) pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition or other transaction permitted under the Credit Agreement, (x) there is sufficient availability hereunder for the inclusion of such letter of credit as a Financial Letter or Credit hereunder, (y) such letter of credit satisfies all of the requirements of a Financial Letter of Credit hereunder, and (z) the conditions of Sections 4.3(a) and 4.3(b) are satisfied, then upon the written request (which written request shall include a statement that the foregoing requirements (v) through (z), inclusive, have been satisfied) of the Parent Borrower to such Issuing Lender (consented to in writing by such Issuing Lender) and the submission by the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent of a copy of such request bearing such consent, such letter of credit shall be (from the date of such consent of such Issuing Lender) deemed a Financial Letter of Credit for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and considered issued hereunder pursuant to the terms hereof (the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents shall govern and prevail in the case of any conflict with the provisions of the agreement(s) pursuant to which such letter of credit had been issued (such agreement(s), the “Original Financial Letter of Credit Agreements”), and such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have released the Original Financial Letter of Credit Account Party and the Financial Letter of Credit Assuming Person from the Original Financial Letter of Credit Agreements to the extent of such conflict).  Notwithstanding that any such assumed letter of credit is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Restricted Subsidiary or Joint Venture, the Parent Borrower agrees that it shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender hereunder for any and all drawings under such letter of credit.

(ii)                                  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, any Borrower may request the issuance of Non-Financial Letters of Credit for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender, at any time and from time to time during the Global Revolving Availability Period; provided, that, the outstanding amount of all obligations under Non-Financial Letters of Credit shall not exceed $100,000,000.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the account party for each Non-Financial Letter of Credit shall be the Parent Borrower or the relevant Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary or Joint Venture, as specified by the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender in consultation with the Parent Borrower.  In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by a Borrower to, or entered into by a Borrower with, the applicable Issuing Lender relating to any Non-Financial Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.  As specified on Schedule 1.1E, certain Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be “Non-Financial Letters of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Parent Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender hereunder for any drawings under such Non-Financial Letters of Credit.  Furthermore, if (v) any letter of credit has been previously issued by an Issuing Lender, (w) the reimbursement obligations of the account party (the “Original Non-Financial Letter of Credit Account Party”) relating to such letter of credit have been or are assumed in writing by the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (such assuming Person, the “Non-Financial Letter of Credit Assuming Person”) pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition or other transaction permitted under the Credit Agreement, (x) there is sufficient availability hereunder for the inclusion of such letter of credit as a Non-Financial Letter or Credit hereunder, (y) such letter of credit satisfies all of the requirements of a Non-Financial Letter of Credit hereunder, and (z) the conditions of Sections 4.3(a) and 4.3(b) are satisfied, then upon the written request (which written request shall include a statement that the foregoing requirements (v) through (z), inclusive, have been satisfied) of the Parent Borrower to such Issuing Lender (consented to in writing by such Issuing Lender) and the submission by the Parent Borrower to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent of a copy of such request bearing such consent, such letter of

55

credit shall be (from the date of such consent of such Issuing Lender) deemed a Non-Financial Letter of Credit for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and considered issued hereunder pursuant to the terms hereof (the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents shall govern and prevail in the case of any conflict with the provisions of the agreement(s) pursuant to which such letter of credit had been issued (such agreement(s), the “Original Non-Financial Letter of Credit Agreements”), and such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have released the Original Non-Financial Letter of Credit Account Party and the Non-Financial Letter of Credit Assuming Person from the Original Non-Financial Letter of Credit Agreements to the extent of such conflict).  Notwithstanding that any such assumed letter of credit is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Restricted Subsidiary or Joint Venture, the Parent Borrower agrees that it shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender hereunder for any and all drawings under such letter of credit.

(b)                                 Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions.

(i)                                     To request the issuance of a Financial Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Financial Letter of Credit), the Parent Borrower shall deliver to the applicable Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Financial Letter of Credit, or identifying the Financial Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Financial Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Financial Letter of Credit, the currency in which such Financial Letter of Credit is to be denominated (which shall be Dollars or, subject to Section 2.22, an Alternative Currency), the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Financial Letter of Credit.  If requested by the applicable Issuing Lender, the Parent Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Lender’s standard form in connection with any request for a Financial Letter of Credit.  Following receipt of such notice and prior to the issuance of the requested Financial Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall calculate the Dollar Equivalent of such Financial Letter of Credit and shall notify the Parent Borrower and the applicable Issuing Lender of the amount of the Total Domestic Exposure after giving effect to (i) the issuance of such Financial Letter of Credit, (ii) the issuance or expiration of any other Financial Letter of Credit that is to be issued or will expire prior to the requested date of issuance of such Financial Letter of Credit and (iii) the borrowing or repayment of any Domestic Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans that (based upon notices delivered to the Administrative Agent by the Parent Borrower) are to be borrowed or repaid prior to the requested date of issuance of such Financial Letter of Credit.  A Financial Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Financial Letter of Credit the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (A) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Domestic Revolving Loans plus the amount of all Financial LC Exposure shall not exceed $200,000,000 and (B) the Total Domestic Exposure shall not exceed the total Domestic Revolving Commitments.  No Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Financial Letter of Credit if any Domestic Revolving Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of cash collateral or other credit support to the Administrative Agent, satisfactory to such Issuing Lender (in its reasonable discretion) with the Parent Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such Issuing Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.24(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Financial Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Financial Letter of Credit and all other Financial LC

56

Exposure as to which such Issuing Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

If the Parent Borrower so requests, the applicable Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Financial Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the applicable Issuing Lender to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve (12) month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve (12) month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.  Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Issuing Lender, the Parent Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the applicable Issuing Lender for any such extension.  Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Domestic Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable Issuing Lender to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the date that is five Business Days prior to the Domestic Revolving Maturity Date; provided, however, that the applicable Issuing Lender shall not permit any such extension if (A) the applicable Issuing Lender has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof, or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Lenders holding a majority of the Domestic Revolving Loans have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Domestic Revolving Lender or the Parent Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.3 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the applicable Issuing Lender not to permit such extension.

(ii)                                  Any request for the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Non-Financial Letter of Credit and the processing of Utilization Requests with respect thereto and the expiration, cancellation, reduction or reversal thereof shall be subject to the same terms, conditions and provisions of Section 2.6, including as to the use of Permitted Currencies rather than Alternative Currencies, except instead of relating to the processing of Utilization Requests or the issuance, amendment, renewal, extension, expiration, cancellation, reduction or reversal of a Participation FCI, they shall relate to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Non-Financial Letter of Credit, and the terms, conditions and provisions of Section 2.6 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the request for the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Non-Financial Letter of Credit and the processing of Utilization Requests with respect thereto and the expiration, cancellation, reduction or reversal thereof; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the applicable Issuing Lender shall have discretion whether or not to require that any Non-Financial Letter of Credit comply with the Mandatory Requirements or the Dispensable Requirements.

(c)                                  Expiration Date.

(i)                                     Each Financial Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Financial Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Domestic Revolving Maturity Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, as specified on Schedule 1.1E, certain Long Term Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be “Financial Letters of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Parent Borrower agrees that on the earlier of the

57

Domestic Revolving Maturity Date or other termination of this Agreement the Parent Borrower shall either (A) cause each such Long Term Letter of Credit that is deemed to be a Financial Letter of Credit to be surrendered for cancellation to the Parent Borrower, (B) provide Letter of Credit Cash Cover (as defined below) or (C) provide a back to back letter of credit on reasonably acceptable terms and conditions from a financial institution approved by the applicable Issuing Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s existing banking practice consistently applied) or other credit support reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to at least 103% of the Face Amount of each such Long Term Letter of Credit that is deemed to be a Financial Letter of Credit.  Upon notice to the Administrative Agent of the termination, reduction or expiration (without any pending drawing) of any such Long Term Letter of Credit that is deemed to be a Financial Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall release the whole or relevant part of the Letter of Credit Cash Cover (or other relevant credit support) within three Business Days of the relevant date of termination, reduction or expiration, and the Administrative Agent shall use the Letter of Credit Cash Cover (or other relevant credit support) to promptly reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender honoring any Long Term Letter of Credit that is deemed to be a Financial Letter of Credit.  If the Parent Borrower is obliged to provide for Letter of Credit Cash Cover pursuant to the preceding provisions, the Parent Borrower shall pay the relevant amount for which it shall provide Letter of Credit Cash Cover in Dollars to an account of the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Parent Borrower, to be maintained for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Lender (such deposited amount, the “Letter of Credit Cash Cover”).  Such account shall be an interest bearing account (subject to the preceding provisions with the amount of interest to be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with its standard business practice) in the name of the Parent Borrower and such account shall be pledged to the Administrative Agent on the basis of a pledge agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower.  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that the obligation of the Domestic Revolving Lenders hereunder to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for any unreimbursed Financial LC Disbursements with respect to any Long Term Letter of Credit that is deemed to be a Financial Letter of Credit shall terminate on the Domestic Revolving Maturity Date with respect to any drawings occurring after that date.

(ii)                                  Each Non-Financial Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the date that is five Business Days prior to the Global Revolving Maturity Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, as specified on Schedule 1.1E, certain Long Term Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be “Non-Financial Letters of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Parent Borrower agrees that on the earlier of the Global Revolving Maturity Date or other termination of this Agreement the Parent Borrower shall either (A) cause each such Long Term Letter of Credit that is deemed to be a Non-Financial Letter of Credit to be surrendered for cancellation to the Parent Borrower, (B) provide Letter of Credit Cash Cover or (C) provide a back to back letter of credit on reasonably acceptable terms and conditions from a financial institution approved by the applicable Issuing Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s existing banking practice consistently applied) or other credit support reasonably satisfactory to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent in an amount equal to at least 103% of the Face Amount of each such Long Term Letter of Credit that is deemed to be a Non-Financial Letter of Credit.  Upon notice to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent of the termination, reduction or expiration (without any pending drawing) of any such Long Term Letter of Credit that is deemed to be a Non-Financial Letter of Credit, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall release the whole or relevant part of the Letter of Credit Cash Cover (or other relevant credit support) within three Business Days of the relevant date of termination, reduction or expiration, and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall use the Letter of Credit Cash Cover (or other relevant credit support) to promptly

58

reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender honoring any Long Term Letter of Credit that is deemed to be a Non-Financial Letter of Credit.  If the Parent Borrower is obliged to provide for Letter of Credit Cash Cover pursuant to the preceding provisions, the Parent Borrower shall pay the relevant amount for which it shall provide Letter of Credit Cash Cover in Dollars to an account of the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and in the name of the Parent Borrower, to be maintained for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Lender.  Such account shall be an interest bearing account (subject to the preceding provisions with the amount of interest to be determined by the Foreign Trade Facility Agent in accordance with its standard business practice) in the name of the Parent Borrower and such account shall be pledged to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent on the basis of a pledge agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and the Parent Borrower.  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that the obligation of the Global Revolving Lenders hereunder to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for any unreimbursed Non-Financial LC Disbursements with respect to any Long Term Letter of Credit that is deemed to be a Non-Financial Letter of Credit shall terminate on the Global Revolving Maturity Date with respect to any drawings occurring after that date.

(d)                                 Participations.

(i)                                     By the issuance of a Financial Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Financial Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Lender or the Lenders, the applicable Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have granted, automatically, to each Domestic Revolving Lender, and each Domestic Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, automatically, from such Issuing Lender, a participation in such Financial Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Financial Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Domestic Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the account of such Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of (i) each Financial LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Lender in Dollars and (ii) the Dollar Equivalent, using the Exchange Rates on the date such payment is required, of each Financial LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Lender in an Alternative Currency and, in each case, not reimbursed by the the Parent Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e)(i) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Parent Borrower for any reason (or, if such reimbursement payment was refunded in an Alternative Currency, the Dollar Equivalent thereof using the Exchange Rates on the date of such refund).  Each Domestic Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Financial Letters of Credit are absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Financial Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Domestic Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(ii)                                  By the issuance of a Non-Financial Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Non-Financial Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Lender or the Lenders, the applicable Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have granted, automatically, to each Global Revolving Lender, and each Global Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, automatically, from such Issuing Lender, a participation in such Non-Financial Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Non-Financial Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Global Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent in Dollars, for

59

the account of such Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of (i) each Non-Financial LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Lender in Dollars and (ii) the Dollar Equivalent, using the Exchange Rates on the date such payment is required, of each Non-Financial LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Lender in an Alternative Currency and, in each case, not reimbursed by the relevant Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e)(ii) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to such Borrower for any reason (or, if such reimbursement payment was refunded in an Alternative Currency, the Dollar Equivalent thereof using the Exchange Rates on the date of such refund).  Each Global Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Non-Financial Letters of Credit are absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Non-Financial Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Global Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e)                                  Reimbursement.

(i)                                     If the applicable Issuing Lender shall make any Financial LC Disbursement in respect of a Financial Letter of Credit, the Parent Borrower shall reimburse such Financial LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such Financial LC Disbursement plus any interim interest incurred pursuant to paragraph (h)(i) of this Section for (x) Financial LC Disbursements made in Dollars, in Dollars, or (y) Financial LC Disbursements made in an Alternative Currency, in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the applicable Exchange Rate on the date such Financial LC Disbursement is made, of such Financial LC Disbursement, in each case, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time or the Applicable Time, as applicable, on the date that such Financial LC Disbursement is made, if the Parent Borrower shall have received notice of such Financial LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time or the Applicable Time, as applicable, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Parent Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time or the Applicable Time, as applicable, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Parent Borrower receives such notice; provided that, in the case of any Financial LC Disbursement made in Dollars, the Parent Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.3 or 2.4 that such payment be financed in Dollars with a Borrowing of ABR Domestic Revolving Loans or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Parent Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Borrowing of ABR Domestic Revolving Loans or Swingline Loan.  If the Parent Borrower fails to make such payment when due, then (i) if such payment relates to an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, automatically and with no further action required, the Parent Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the applicable Financial LC Disbursement shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rates on the date when such payment was due, of such Financial LC Disbursement and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Lender and each other Domestic Revolving Lender of the applicable Financial LC Disbursement, the Dollar Equivalent thereof (if such Financial LC Disbursement relates to an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit), the payment then due from the Parent Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Domestic Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Parent Borrower (determined as provided in clause (i) above, if such payment relates to an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit), in the same manner as provided in Section 2.7 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.7 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the

Domestic Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Lender in Dollars the amounts so received by it from the Domestic Revolving Lenders.  Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Parent Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Domestic Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Lender as their interests may appear.  Any payment made by a Domestic Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Lender for any Financial LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Domestic Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Parent Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Financial LC Disbursement.

(ii)                                  If the applicable Issuing Lender shall make any Non-Financial LC Disbursement in respect of a Non-Financial Letter of Credit, the relevant Borrower shall reimburse such Non-Financial LC Disbursement by paying to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent an amount equal to such Non-Financial LC Disbursement plus any interim interest incurred pursuant to paragraph (h)(ii) of this Section for (x) Non-Financial LC Disbursements made in Dollars, in Dollars, or (y) Non-Financial LC Disbursements made in an Alternative Currency, in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the applicable Exchange Rate on the date such Non-Financial LC Disbursement is made, of such Non-Financial LC Disbursement, in each case, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time or the Applicable Time, as applicable, on the date that such Non-Financial LC Disbursement is made, if such Borrower shall have received notice of such Non-Financial LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time or the Applicable Time, as applicable, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by such Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time or the Applicable Time, as applicable, on the Business Day immediately following the day that such Borrower receives such notice; provided that, in the case of any Non-Financial LC Disbursement made in Dollars, the relevant Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.3 or 2.4 that such payment be financed in Dollars with a Borrowing of ABR Global Revolving Loans in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Borrowing of ABR Global Revolving Loans.  If the relevant Borrower fails to make such payment when due, then (i) if such payment relates to an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, automatically and with no further action required, such Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the applicable Non-Financial LC Disbursement shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rates on the date when such payment was due, of such Non-Financial LC Disbursement and (ii) the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Lender and each other Global Revolving Lender of the applicable Non-Financial LC Disbursement, the Dollar Equivalent thereof (if such Non-Financial LC Disbursement relates to an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit), the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Global Revolving Lender shall pay to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent in Dollars its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the relevant Borrower (determined as provided in clause (i) above, if such payment relates to an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit), in the same manner as provided in Section 2.7 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.7 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Global Revolving Lenders), and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Lender in Dollars the amounts so received by it from the Global Revolving Lenders.  Promptly following receipt by the Foreign Trade Facility Agent of any payment from any Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Lender or, to the

61

extent that Global Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Lender as their interests may appear.  Any payment made by a Global Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Lender for any Non-Financial LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Global Revolving Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve any Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Non-Financial LC Disbursement.

(f)                                   Obligations Absolute.

(i)                                     The Parent Borrower’s obligation to reimburse Financial LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e)(i) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Financial Letter of Credit, any application for the issuance of a Financial Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Financial Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Lender under a Financial Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Financial Letter of Credit, (iv) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Parent Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower in the relevant currency markets generally or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, such Borrower’s obligations hereunder.  Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Lender, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Financial Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Financial Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Lender; provided that neither of the foregoing sentences shall be construed to excuse such Issuing Lender from liability to the Parent Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Parent Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Lender’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or failure to exercise care (each as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Financial Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Lender (each as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Financial Letter of Credit, an Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Financial Letter of Credit.

62

(ii)                                  A Borrower’s obligation to reimburse Non-Financial LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e)(ii) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Non-Financial Letter of Credit, any application for the issuance of a Non-Financial Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Non-Financial Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Lender under a Non-Financial Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Non-Financial Letter of Credit, (iv) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Parent Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower in the relevant currency markets generally or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, such Borrower’s obligations hereunder.  Neither the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Lender, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Non-Financial Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Non-Financial Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Lender; provided that neither of the foregoing sentences shall be construed to excuse such Issuing Lender from liability to a Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Lender’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or failure to exercise care (each as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Non-Financial Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Lender (each as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Non-Financial Letter of Credit, an Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Non-Financial Letter of Credit.

(g)                                  Disbursement Procedures.

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

(h)                                 Interim Interest.

(i)                                     If an Issuing Lender shall make any Financial LC Disbursement, then, unless the Parent Borrower shall reimburse such Financial LC Disbursement in full on the date such Financial LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such Financial LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Parent Borrower reimburses such Financial LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Domestic Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Parent Borrower fails to reimburse such Financial LC Disbursement (including any interim interest incurred in connection with such Financial LC Disbursement pursuant to this paragraph) when due pursuant to paragraph (e)(i) of this Section, then Section 2.15(c) shall apply; provided further that, in the case of a Financial LC Disbursement made under an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, the amount of interest due with respect thereto shall (i) in the case of any Financial LC Disbursement that is reimbursed on or before the Business Day immediately succeeding such Financial LC Disbursement, (A) be payable in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the applicable Exchange Rate on the date such Financial LC Disbursement is made, of such Financial LC Disbursement and (B) if not reimbursed on the date of such Financial LC Disbursement, bear interest at a rate equal to the rate reasonably determined by the applicable Issuing Lender to be the cost to such Issuing Lender of funding such Financial LC Disbursement plus the Applicable Rate applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans at such time and (ii) in the case of any Financial LC Disbursement that is reimbursed after the Business Day immediately succeeding such Financial LC Disbursement (A) be payable in Dollars, (B) accrue on the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rates on the date such Financial LC Disbursement was made, of such Financial LC Disbursement and (C) bear interest at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans, subject to Section 2.15(c).  Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Domestic Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e)(i) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Lender shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(ii)                                  If an Issuing Lender shall make any Non-Financial LC Disbursement, then, unless the relevant Borrower shall reimburse such Non-Financial LC Disbursement in full on the date such Non-Financial LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such Non-Financial LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that such Borrower reimburses such Non-Financial LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Global Revolving Loans; provided that, if such Borrower fails to reimburse such Non-Financial LC Disbursement (including any interim interest incurred in connection with such Non-Financial LC Disbursement pursuant to this paragraph) when due pursuant to paragraph (e)(ii) of this Section, then Section 2.15(c) shall apply; provided further that, in the case of a Non-Financial LC Disbursement made under an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, the amount of interest due with respect thereto shall (i) in the case of any Non-Financial LC Disbursement that is reimbursed on or before the Business Day immediately succeeding such

(j)                                    Cash Collateralization.

(i)                                     If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Parent Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Domestic Revolving Lenders with Financial LC Exposure representing at least 51% of the total Financial LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Parent Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Domestic Revolving Lenders, an amount in Dollars and in cash equal to the Financial LC Exposure of the Parent Borrower as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that (i) the portions of such amount attributable to undrawn Alternative Currency Letters of Credit or Financial LC Disbursements in an Alternative Currency that the Borrowers are not late in reimbursing shall be deposited in the applicable Alternative Currencies in the actual amounts of such undrawn Financial Letters of Credit and Financial LC Disbursements and (ii) the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Parent Borrower described in paragraph (h) or (i) of Article VII.  For the purposes of this paragraph, the Alternative Currency Financial LC Exposure shall be calculated using the Exchange Rates on the date notice demanding cash collateralization is delivered to the Parent Borrower.  The Parent Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.12(c).  Each such deposit pursuant to this paragraph or pursuant to Section 2.12(c) shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Parent Borrower under this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.  Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Parent Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.  Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.  Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for Financial LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Parent Borrower for the Financial LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Domestic Revolving Lenders with Financial LC Exposure representing at least 51% of the total Financial LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Parent Borrower under this Agreement.  If the Parent Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Parent Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.  If the Parent Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.12(c), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Parent Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Parent Borrower would remain in compliance with Section 2.12(c), and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  Furthermore, if any Financial Letter of Credit is outstanding on the date that the Parent Borrower terminates the Domestic Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.9(b), the Parent Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, either (A) cause any such Financial Letter of Credit to be surrendered for cancellation to the applicable Issuing Lender, (B) provide cash collateral pursuant to the terms of this paragraph (or other credit support reasonably satisfactory) to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Issuing Lender in an amount equal to at least 103% of the Face Amount of such Financial Letter of Credit pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or (C) provide a backup letter of credit on reasonably acceptable terms and conditions to such Issuing Lender in an amount equal to at least 103% of the Face Amount of such Financial Letter of Credit from a financial institution approved by such

66

Issuing Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s existing banking practice consistently applied).  The Parent Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent a security interest in all such cash collateral and all proceeds thereof.  Such cash collateral shall be maintained in a blocked interest-bearing deposit account at Bank of America.  Upon notice to the Administrative Agent of the termination, reduction or expiration (without a pending drawing) of any such Financial Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall release the relevant cash collateral within three Business Days of the relevant date of termination, reduction or expiration, and the Administrative Agent shall use such cash collateral to promptly reimburse any Issuing Lender honoring any drawing under any such Financial Letter of Credit.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall be required to deposit cash in support of any obligation of any other Borrower and no collateral or other credit support provided by any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall serve as security for any obligation of any other Borrower.

(ii)                                  If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that a Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Global Revolving Lenders with Non-Financial LC Exposure representing at least 51% of the total Non-Financial LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, such Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, in the name of the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and for the benefit of the Global Revolving Lenders, an amount in Dollars and in cash equal to the Non-Financial LC Exposure of such Borrower as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that (i) the portions of such amount attributable to undrawn Alternative Currency Letters of Credit or Non-Financial LC Disbursements in an Alternative Currency that the Borrowers are not late in reimbursing shall be deposited in the applicable Alternative Currencies in the actual amounts of such undrawn Non-Financial Letters of Credit and Non-Financial LC Disbursements and (ii) the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Parent Borrower described in paragraph (h) or (i) of Article VII.  For the purposes of this paragraph, the Alternative Currency Non-Financial LC Exposure shall be calculated using the Exchange Rates on the date notice demanding cash collateralization is delivered to a Borrower.  Each Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.12(c).  Each such deposit pursuant to this paragraph or pursuant to Section 2.12(c) shall be held by the Foreign Trade Facility Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the applicable Borrower under this Agreement.  The Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.  Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and at the relevant Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.  Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.  Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Foreign Trade Facility Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for Non-Financial LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the relevant Borrower for the Non-Financial LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Global Revolving Lenders with Non-Financial LC Exposure representing at least 51% of the total Non-Financial LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement.  If a Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of

67

Default have been cured or waived.  If a Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.12(c), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, such Borrower would remain in compliance with Section 2.12(c), and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  Furthermore, if any Non-Financial Letter of Credit is outstanding on the date that the Parent Borrower terminates the Global Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.9(b), the Parent Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, either (A) cause any such Non-Financial Letter of Credit to be surrendered for cancellation to the applicable Issuing Lender, (B) provide cash collateral pursuant to the terms of this paragraph (or other credit support reasonably satisfactory) to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent for the benefit of such Issuing Lender in an amount equal to at least 103% of the Face Amount of such Non-Financial Letter of Credit pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent or (C) provide a backup letter of credit on reasonably acceptable terms and conditions to such Issuing Lender in an amount equal to at least 103% of the Face Amount of such Non-Financial Letter of Credit from a financial institution approved by such Issuing Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s existing banking practice consistently applied).  The Parent Borrower hereby grants to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent a security interest in all such cash collateral and all proceeds thereof.  Such cash collateral shall be maintained in a blocked interest-bearing deposit account at the Foreign Trade Facility Agent’s institution.  Upon notice to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent of the termination, reduction or expiration (without a pending drawing) of any such Non-Financial Letter of Credit, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall release the relevant cash collateral within three Business Days of the relevant date of termination, reduction or expiration, and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall use such cash collateral to promptly reimburse any Issuing Lender honoring any drawing under any such Non-Financial Letter of Credit.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall be required to deposit cash in support of any obligation of any other Borrower and no collateral or other credit support provided by any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall serve as security for any obligation of any other Borrower.

(k)                                 Conversion.

(i)                                     In the event that the Loans become immediately due and payable on any date pursuant to Article VII, all amounts (i) that the Parent Borrower is at the time or thereafter becomes required to reimburse or otherwise pay to the Administrative Agent in respect of Financial LC Disbursements made under any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (other than amounts in respect of which the Parent Borrower has deposited cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.5(j)(i), if such cash collateral was deposited in the applicable Alternative Currency to the extent so deposited or applied), (ii) that the Domestic Revolving Lenders are at the time or thereafter become required to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent is at the time or thereafter becomes required to distribute to the applicable Issuing Lender pursuant to paragraph (e)(i) of this Section in respect of unreimbursed Financial LC Disbursements made under any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit and (iii) of each Domestic Revolving Lender’s participation in any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit under which a Financial LC Disbursement has been made shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rates on such date (or in the case of any Financial LC Disbursement made after such date, on the date such Financial LC Disbursement is made), of such amounts.  On and after such conversion, all amounts accruing and owed to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Lender or any Lender in respect of the Obligations described in this paragraph shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder.

(i)                                     Each Issuing Lender of Financial Letters of Credit will report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the first Business Day of each week, the aggregate Face Amount of Financial Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the last Business Day of the preceding week, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Lender expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Financial Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance or

69

amendment, and the aggregate Face Amount of Financial Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and such Issuing Lender shall advise the Administrative Agent on such Business Day whether such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred and whether the amount thereof changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Lender makes any Financial LC Disbursement, the date of such Financial LC Disbursement and the amount of such Financial LC Disbursement and (iv) on any Business Day on which the Parent Borrower fails to reimburse a Financial LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Lender on such day, the date of such failure, the Parent Borrower and amount of such Financial LC Disbursement.

(ii)                                  Reporting requirements with respect to a Non-Financial Letter of Credit shall be subject to the same terms, conditions and provisions of Section 2.6, except instead of relating to the reporting requirements of a Participation FCI, they shall relate to the reporting requirements of a Non-Financial Letter of Credit, and the terms, conditions and provisions of Section 2.6 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the reporting requirements of a Non-Financial Letter of Credit.

Section 2.6                                   FCIs.

(a)                                 FCI Issuing Commitments.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) (A) each Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender severally agrees to issue Bilateral FCIs (other than Trade LCs), and (B) each Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion and with terms and conditions required by such Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender, issue Trade LCs; provided that after giving effect to any issuance of any Bilateral FCI, the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding amount of the Bilateral FCI Reimbursement Obligations of such Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender, and of the Bilateral FCIs of such Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender shall not exceed the principal amount of the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment of such Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender at such time and (ii) each Participation FCI Issuing Lender severally agrees to issue Participation FCIs; provided that after giving effect to any issuance of any Participation FCI, the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding amount of Participation FCI Reimbursement Obligations of such Participation FCI Issuing Lender and of Participation FCIs of such Participation FCI Issuing Lender shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Participation FCI Issuing Commitments at such time and (y) the amount of the Participation FCI Commitment of such Participation FCI Issuing Lender at such time.  Each Existing FCI issued by a Participation FCI Issuing Lender shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to constitute a Participation FCI issued by such Participation FCI Issuing Lender pursuant hereto for the applicable Borrower (and such Borrower, whether or not it is the Borrower for which such Existing FCI was originally issued under the Existing Credit Agreement, shall be obligated and liable in respect of such Existing FCI under the terms and conditions of this Agreement as if such Existing FCI had been originally issued at its request under this Agreement) and the Participation FCI Issuing Commitment of such Participation FCI Issuing Lender shall be deemed utilized in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of all Existing FCIs issued by it and determined as of the Funding Date, subject to subsequent determinations of such Dollar Equivalent pursuant to Section 2.6(n).  Each FCI Issuing Lender, after consultation with the Parent Borrower or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, may issue any Bilateral FCI or Participation FCI, as applicable, by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such FCI Issuing Lender to issue such Bilateral FCI or Participation FCI if in the judgment of such FCI Issuing Lender such designation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.19, as the case may be, and (ii) would not subject such FCI Issuing Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense, or would otherwise be advantageous to such FCI Issuing Lender; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligations of the relevant Borrower or such FCI Issuing Lender under this Section 2.6.  Each Participation FCI Issuing Lender hereby confirms that the Existing FCIs issued by it conform to the Mandatory Requirements.  Furthermore, if (v) any letter of credit, guarantee or surety

70

has been previously issued by an FCI Issuing Lender, (w) the reimbursement obligations of the account party (the “Original FCI Account Party”) relating to such letter of credit, guarantee or surety have been or are assumed in writing by the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (such assuming Person, the “FCI Assuming Person”) pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition or other transaction permitted under the Credit Agreement, (x) there is sufficient availability hereunder for the inclusion of such letter of credit, guarantee or surety as an FCI hereunder, (y) such letter of credit, guarantee or surety satisfies all of the requirements of an FCI hereunder, and (z) the conditions of Sections 4.3(a) and 4.3(b) are satisfied, then upon the written request of the Parent Borrower to such FCI Issuing Lender (consented to in writing by such FCI Issuing Lender), the submission by the Parent Borrower to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent of a copy of such request bearing such consent and the submission by a Borrower to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent of a completed Utilization Request including a statement that the foregoing requirements (v) through (z), inclusive, have been satisfied and that such Borrower submitting such Utilization Request shall be treated as a Borrower hereunder with respect to such letter of credit, guarantee or surety, such letter of credit, guarantee or surety shall be (from the date of such consent of such FCI Issuing Lender) deemed a Bilateral FCI or Participation FCI (such designation as a Bilateral FCI or Participation FCI to be in the sole discretion of the applicable FCI Issuing Lender) for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and considered issued hereunder at the request of the Borrower that submitted such Utilization Request pursuant to the terms hereof (the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents shall govern and prevail in the case of any conflict with the provisions of the agreement(s) pursuant to which such letter of credit, guarantee or surety had been issued (such agreement(s), the “Original FCI-Related Agreements”), and such FCI Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have released the Original FCI Account Party and the FCI Assuming Person from the Original FCI-Related Agreements to the extent of such conflict).  Any Utilization Request submitted to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be reviewed and processed in accordance with Section 2.6(c), Section 2.6(d), Section 2.6(e) and Section 2.6(f), as applicable.  Notwithstanding that any such assumed letter of credit, guarantee or surety is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Restricted Subsidiary or a Joint Venture, the Parent Borrower and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers agree that the applicable Borrower (as identified in the Utilization Request referenced above) shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable FCI Issuing Lender hereunder for any and all drawings under such letter of credit, guarantee or surety.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the following provisions shall apply in respect of Trade LCs:  (i) each Trade LC shall be administered directly between the Borrowers and the applicable Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender, and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall not be involved in that process; (ii) each request for the issuance or amendment of a Trade LC shall be sent by the relevant Borrower directly to the Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender requested to issue or amend such Trade LC; (iii) the applicable Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender shall be responsible for ensuring that neither the issuance of any Trade LC or other Bilateral FCI nor the issuance of any amendment increasing the stated amount of any thereof causes such Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender’s FCI Issuing Lender Exposure in respect of Trade LCs and other Bilateral FCIs to exceed such Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender’s Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment; (iv) the Borrowers and the applicable Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender shall be responsible for arranging for the reimbursement of any drawings under such Trade LCs; (v) the reporting as to outstanding Trade LCs, including the issuance thereof, any drawings thereunder, any banker’s acceptances created thereunder, any deferred payment undertakings incurred thereunder, and any obligations thereunder to reimburse any negotiating banks, confirming banks or other nominated banks shall be as agreed from time to time by the Borrowers and the applicable Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender; (vi) the applicable Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender shall be responsible for determining and monitoring whether, due to changes in foreign currency rates or otherwise, the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the FCI Issuing Lender Exposure of such Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender in respect of Trade LCs and other Bilateral FCIs at any time exceeds such Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender’s Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment and, if there is such an excess, the relevant Borrower shall arrange to provide Cash Cover for the amount of such

71

excess in accordance with Section 2.6(o)(i); and (vii) the Borrowers and the applicable Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender shall be responsible for the calculation, payment and collection of all fees and handling charges with respect to Trade LCs (including arranging for any necessary offset to take account of any fees calculated by the Foreign Trade Facility Agent without reference to such Trade LCs); provided that any Bilateral FCI Fees payable to any Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender in respect of Trade LCs shall be reduced by the amount of any related Bilateral FCI Commitment Fee payable in respect of the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment of such Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender utilized by the issuance of such Trade LCs.

(b)                                 Extension Option.

(i)                                     The Parent Borrower may from time to time during the term of this Agreement, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent (such notice being an “Extension Notice”) delivered no later than 60 days prior to the Foreign Trade Maturity Date (the date of such notice, the “Notice Date”), request the Lenders with a Participation FCI Commitment and the FCI Issuing Lenders to extend the then applicable Foreign Trade Maturity Date for an additional year (the “Extended Foreign Trade Maturity Date”).  The Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall promptly transmit any Extension Notice to each Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment and each FCI Issuing Lender.  Each FCI Issuing Lender and each Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment shall notify the Foreign Trade Facility Agent whether it wishes to extend the then applicable Foreign Trade Maturity Date at least 30 days (or such earlier date as directed by the Parent Borrower) prior to the then applicable Foreign Trade Maturity Date, and any such notice given by an FCI Issuing Lender or a Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, once given, shall be irrevocable as to such Lender.  The Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower of the notice of each FCI Issuing Lender and each Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment that it wishes to extend (each, an “Extension Acceptance Notice”).  Any FCI Issuing Lender and any Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment which does not expressly notify the Foreign Trade Facility Agent on or before the date that is 30 days (or such earlier date as directed by the Parent Borrower) prior to the then applicable Foreign Trade Revolving Maturity Date that it wishes to so extend the then applicable Foreign Trade Maturity Date shall be deemed to have rejected the Parent Borrower’s request for extension of such Foreign Trade Maturity Date.  If all the Lenders with a Participation FCI Commitment and all the FCI Issuing Lenders have elected (in their sole and absolute discretion) to so extend the then applicable Foreign Trade Maturity Date, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower of such election by the Lenders with a Participation FCI Commitment and the FCI Issuing Lenders no later than five Business Days after the date when Extension Acceptance Notices are due, and effective on the date of such notice by the Foreign Trade Facility Agent to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower (the “Extension Date”), the Foreign Trade Maturity Date shall be automatically and immediately so extended to the Extended Foreign Trade Maturity Date.  No extension will be permitted hereunder without the consent of all the Lenders with a Participation FCI Commitment and all the FCI Issuing Lenders (after giving effect to the replacement of any non-extending Lender or non-extending FCI Issuing Lender pursuant to paragraph (iii) or (iv) below, as applicable) unless, at the election of the Parent Borrower, in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, the Parent Borrower removes from the Foreign Trade Facility each Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment and each FCI Issuing Lender that has not so consented to the Extended Foreign Trade Maturity Date, in which case the Participation FCI Commitments, Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitments and Participation FCI Issuing Commitments of each such removed Lender and removed FCI Issuing Lender, as applicable, will be automatically terminated as of the then applicable Foreign Trade Maturity Date (not giving effect to the proposed

72

extension), and the aggregate Participation FCI Commitments, Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitments and Participation FCI Issuing Commitments hereunder shall be reduced as of the then applicable Foreign Trade Maturity Date (not giving effect to the proposed extension) by the amounts of the Participation FCI Commitments, Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitments and Participation FCI Issuing Commitments of each such removed Lender and removed FCI Issuing Lender, as applicable; provided, that, (x) after giving effect to any such removal by the Parent Borrower and resulting termination of the Participation FCI Commitment, Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment or Participation FCI Issuing Commitment of any such removed Lender or removed FCI Issuing Lender, (A) the total FCI Issuing Lender Exposures with respect to Participation FCIs of all the Participation FCI Issuing Lenders (including those non-extending Participation FCI Issuing Lenders that have not, at the election of the Parent Borrower in its sole discretion, received a Counter-Guarantee to support the outstanding Participation FCIs issued by such non-extending Participation FCI Issuing Lender) does not exceed the total Participation FCI Commitments of all the extending Lenders with Participation FCI Commitments, (B) each outstanding Bilateral FCI and outstanding Participation FCI issued by an FCI Issuing Lender removed in accordance with this Section shall continue to be considered an issued Bilateral FCI or Participation FCI (as applicable) hereunder and part of the FCI Issuing Lender Exposure hereunder unless the Parent Borrower elects in its sole discretion to have a Counter-Guarantee issued hereunder in favor of such removed FCI Issuing Lender to support such Bilateral FCIs and Participation FCIs, in which case such Bilateral FCIs and Participation FCIs shall no longer be considered to be Bilateral FCIs or Participation FCIs issued pursuant to this Agreement except that for purposes of Section 2.6(p)(iii), (iv) and (v) and Section 2.6(h) such Bilateral FCIs and Participation FCIs shall continue to be considered as issued pursuant to this Agreement and the Borrowers’ obligations under such Sections with respect to fees, costs, expenses, reimbursement and indemnification obligations shall continue to apply with respect to such Bilateral FCIs and Participation FCIs and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall have entered into such agreements, if any, as any of them shall have reasonably requested to reflect such extension of the Foreign Trade Facility with reduced Participation FCI Commitments, Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitments and Participation FCI Issuing Commitments, as the case may be, reflecting the removal of such Lenders with Participation FCI Commitments and FCI Issuing Lenders, as the case may be (and any participations purchased under this Agreement shall be automatically appropriately adjusted in amount to reflect such changed Commitments) and (y) any such removed Lender or removed FCI Issuing Lender, as applicable, shall have received payment of all amounts owing to such removed Lender or removed FCI Issuing Lender with respect to its Participation FCI Commitment, Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment and/or Participation FCI Issuing Commitment, as applicable, including the repayment of an amount equal to the outstanding funded participations of all FCI Disbursements made by such removed Lender or funded FCI Disbursements made by such removed FCI Issuing Lender, as applicable, any accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in connection with such Commitment.  Upon the delivery of an Extension Notice and upon the extension of the Foreign Trade Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 2.6(b)(i), the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted on and as of the Notice Date and the Extension Date, as the case may be, that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment or FCI Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to extend the Foreign Trade Maturity Date, and each Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment and each FCI Issuing Lender may (with respect to its respective Participation FCI Commitment, Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment and/or Participation FCI Issuing Commitment) at its option, unconditionally and without cause, decline to extend the Foreign Trade Maturity Date.

73

(ii)                                  If the Foreign Trade Maturity Date shall have been extended in accordance with Section 2.6(b)(i), all references herein to the “Foreign Trade Maturity Date” shall refer to the Extended Foreign Trade Maturity Date.

(iii)                               The Parent Borrower shall have the right on or before the applicable Foreign Trade Maturity Date to replace each non-extending Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment with one or more Persons (A) reasonably satisfactory to the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and (B) satisfactory to the Participation FCI Issuing Lenders in their sole discretion (such replacing Persons, the “Additional Participation FCI Lenders”), as provided in Section 2.21(b), each of which such Additional Participation FCI Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Additional Participation FCI Lender shall, effective as of the applicable Foreign Trade Maturity Date, undertake a Participation FCI Commitment (and if any such Additional Participation FCI Lender is already a Lender, its new Commitment shall be in addition to any other Commitment of such Lender on such date).

(iv)                              The Parent Borrower shall have the right on or before the applicable Foreign Trade Maturity Date to replace each non-extending FCI Issuing Lender with one or more Persons reasonably satisfactory to the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent (such replacing Persons, the “Additional FCI Issuing Lenders”), as provided in Section 2.21(b), each of which such Additional FCI Issuing Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Additional FCI Issuing Lender shall, effective as of the applicable Foreign Trade Maturity Date, undertake a Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment and/or Participation FCI Issuing Commitment (and if any such Additional FCI Issuing Lender is already an FCI Issuing Lender, its new Commitment shall be in addition to any other Commitment of such FCI Issuing Lender on such date).

(c)                                  Procedure for Issuance and Reversals. Each Borrower may, at any time and from time to time during the period from the Funding Date until the Foreign Trade Maturity Date, request the issuance of FCIs or an extension or other amendment of any outstanding FCI by sending to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent a duly completed request for issuance (each, a “Utilization Request”) by electronic transfer using the db direct internet or replacement communications facility in accordance with the terms of the DB Direct Internet Agreement.  If for technical reasons it should not be possible to make a request for issuance through db direct internet (or such replacement communications facility), such request may be made (to be pre-advised by the relevant Borrower) via fax, via email or by letter, in substantially the form of Exhibit H, in each case to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent as specified in Section 9.1 (or to a fax number, email address or other address agreed with the Foreign Trade Facility Agent for this purpose), receipt of such fax, email or letter to be promptly confirmed by the Foreign Trade Facility Agent to the relevant Borrower for this purpose; provided that in such case explicit reference must be made to this Agreement, and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall in such case not be held responsible for a delayed processing of such Utilization Request unless such delayed processing is caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct (each as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) on the part of the Foreign Trade Facility Agent following the confirmation of the receipt of the relevant fax, email or letter.  It is acknowledged that the Foreign Trade Facility Agent will not, in the event a Utilization Request is submitted by fax, or email, be in a position to verify whether such Utilization Request has been duly authorized and sent by the relevant Borrower, and each Borrower hereby agrees that the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall be entitled to execute all Utilization Requests received by fax or email if on their face such fax letters or emails appear to be duly authorized and executed or sent by persons acting on behalf of such Borrower who have been identified as authorized signatories in annex 1.3.1 (or any replacement annex) to the DB Direct Internet Agreement or in the officer’s certificate furnished pursuant to Section 4.2(i).  Neither the Foreign Trade Facility Agent nor any

74

of the Lenders shall be held liable for the execution of any forged Utilization Request received by fax or email except where the forgery is evident on the face of the forged Utilization Request furnished to such Person or the Foreign Trade Facility Agent or the respective FCI Issuing Lender acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct (each as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) with respect to such Utilization Request.  No Utilization Request will be regarded as having been duly completed unless:

(i)                                     the requested undertaking would constitute a Warranty Guarantee, a Performance Guarantee, an Advance Payment Guarantee, a Tender Guarantee, a Counter-Guarantee, a General Purpose Guarantee or with respect to a Bilateral FCI, a Trade LC;

(ii)                                  such Utilization Request and the terms and conditions for the requested FCI are in the English language (or, if not in the English language, then in the sole discretion of the Foreign Trade Facility Agent or the applicable Participation FCI Issuing Lender or Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender, must be accompanied by an English translation certified by the relevant Borrower to be a true and correct English translation that the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and such Participation FCI Issuing Lender or Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender, as applicable, shall be entitled to rely upon) and in accordance with the Mandatory Requirements;

(iii)                               the requested FCI is denominated in a Permitted Currency or any other currency agreed by the applicable FCI Issuing Lender and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent;

(iv)                              the expiry date of the requested FCI (A) is not stated by reference to any events in the underlying contract, (B) is not subject to conflicting interpretation, and (C) if the requested FCI does not provide for determination of a specific expiry date, the Commercial Lifetime falls within the Permitted Maturity;

(v)                                 the obligor of the obligations to be supported by the requested FCI is named;

(vi)                              upon issuance of the requested FCI (for this purpose such FCI is deemed to be issued at the time of receipt of the Utilization Request therefor by the Foreign Trade Facility Agent), the thresholds for the different types of FCIs set forth under Section 2.6(d) would not be exceeded;

(vii)                           an FCI Issuing Lender is determined pursuant to the terms hereof;

(viii)                        the Utilization Request is in compliance with Section 2.6(d); and

(ix)                              the Utilization Request indicates whether the applicable Borrower requests a Bilateral FCI or Participation FCI to be issued.

Only one FCI may be requested in each Utilization Request.  A Utilization Request may only be revoked by the relevant Borrower (x) until the Foreign Trade Facility Agent has forwarded the Utilization Request to the relevant FCI Issuing Lender in accordance with Section 2.6(g), by giving notice to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent or (y) thereafter, by giving notice to the relevant FCI Issuing Lender which has to be received by such FCI Issuing Lender at a time when such FCI Issuing Lender will, with reasonable efforts, still be in a position to stop the delivery of the relevant FCI to the relevant beneficiary or any other Person as instructed by such Borrower.  In such case, the relevant FCI Issuing Lender shall promptly inform the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and the relevant Borrower that the requested FCI has not been issued.  No FCI Issuing Lender shall be required to issue an FCI in any jurisdiction that would impose withholding taxes on any payments in respect of such FCI.

75

(d)                                 Limitations on Use.  The Borrowers may only request the issuance of FCIs if:

(i)                                     with respect to the issuance of a Bilateral FCI, the Dollar Equivalent of such requested Bilateral FCI, when aggregated with the Dollar Equivalent of all other outstanding Bilateral FCIs and unreimbursed FCI Disbursements with respect to Bilateral FCIs as of the time of receipt of the relevant Utilization Request, does not exceed the total Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitments; and

(ii)                                  with respect to any Participation FCI, (A) the Dollar Equivalent of such requested Participation FCI, when aggregated with the Dollar Equivalent of all other outstanding Participation FCIs and unreimbursed FCI Disbursements with respect to Participation FCIs as of the time of receipt of the relevant Utilization Request, does not exceed the total Participation FCI Issuing Commitments and (B) the Dollar Equivalent of such requested Participation FCI, when aggregated with the Dollar Equivalent of all other outstanding Participation FCIs and unreimbursed FCI Disbursements with respect to Participation FCIs as of the time of receipt of the relevant Utilization Request, does not exceed the total Participation FCI Commitments.

If the Foreign Trade Facility Agent is of the opinion that a requested FCI is not of the type as specified in the Utilization Request by a Borrower or if the type of FCI is not clearly specified in the relevant Utilization Request, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall reasonably determine the type of the requested FCI based on the purpose (or, if such FCI is intended to serve more than one purpose, the primary purpose) assumed by the Foreign Trade Facility Agent on the basis of the wording of the relevant requested FCI and the facts and circumstances known to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent at the time of the receipt of such Utilization Request, and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall inform such Borrower accordingly of such determination.  No Borrower shall make a Utilization Request for FCIs to serve as security for obligations of any Person other than a Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary or a Joint Venture.

(e)                                  Deviations from FCI Requirements.  No FCI shall be issued by any FCI Issuing Lender if, in the case of a Participation FCI, the Mandatory Requirements are not fulfilled.  No FCI Issuing Lender shall be obliged to issue an FCI (i) which does not fulfill the Dispensable Requirements, (ii) which shall be issued in a currency other than a Permitted Currency, or (iii) if the issuance of the relevant FCI is not permitted pursuant to its internal rules and guidelines.  In order to avoid a rejection of any issuance of an FCI requested by a Borrower due to non-compliance of its terms with the Dispensable Requirements, each Borrower hereby undertakes that, with respect to any FCI to be issued where the Borrower considers it reasonably likely that it will not be in a position to negotiate with the relevant future beneficiary terms for the relevant FCI which will meet the Dispensable Requirements, such Borrower will as soon as possible approach the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and designate an FCI Issuing Lender to issue such FCI pursuant to the terms of Section 2.6(f).  Each Borrower shall seek advice from the FCI Issuing Lender designated by such Borrower as the relevant FCI Issuing Lender with respect to all FCI related issues during its negotiations of the underlying contract with the potential beneficiary of such FCI.  In cases where, in spite of such Borrower’s commercially reasonable efforts, fulfillment of the Dispensable Requirements appears unachievable, the relevant FCI Issuing Lender and such Borrower shall try to reach an agreement on an indemnity in favor of such FCI Issuing Lender which allows such FCI Issuing Lender to issue the relevant FCI in its contractual relationship with such Borrower; provided that the right of the relevant FCI Issuing Lender to reject the issuance of the requested FCI shall remain unaffected.

(f)                                   Receipt of Utilization Request.

(i)                                     Following the receipt of a Utilization Request, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall determine whether in its opinion the Utilization Request is duly completed.  If the Foreign

76

Trade Facility Agent is of the opinion that the Utilization Request is not duly completed, it shall promptly inform the relevant Borrower and shall liaise with such Borrower with a view to agree on a modification of such Utilization Request.  If no such agreement can be reached, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall reject the Utilization Request.  If the Foreign Trade Facility Agent is of the opinion (following a modification of such Utilization Request) that the Utilization Request is duly completed, it shall forward such Utilization Request to the designated FCI Issuing Lender(s).

(ii)                                  If the Foreign Trade Facility Agent determines that, due to the amount of the requested FCI, the requested FCI cannot be issued by a single FCI Issuing Lender, it shall promptly inform the relevant Borrower and such Borrower shall then either withdraw the relevant Utilization Request or instruct the Foreign Trade Facility Agent that the relevant FCI shall be split into two or, if necessary due to the amount of the FCI, more FCIs issued by two or more FCI Issuing Lenders.

(iii)                               In no event shall the aggregate amount (without duplication) of the sum of the Dollar Equivalent of all Bilateral FCIs issued by all FCI Issuing Lenders plus the Dollar Equivalent of all unreimbursed FCI Disbursements of all such FCI Issuing Lenders with respect to Bilateral FCIs exceed the aggregate amount of the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitments.

(iv)                              In no event shall the aggregate amount (without duplication) of the sum of the Dollar Equivalent of all Participation FCIs issued by all FCI Issuing Lenders plus the Dollar Equivalent of all unreimbursed FCI Disbursements of all such FCI Issuing Lenders with respect to Participation FCIs exceed the aggregate amount of the Participation FCI Issuing Commitments or the Participation FCI Commitments.

(g)                                  Issuance of FCIs.

(i)                                     The Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall promptly forward each Utilization Request to the relevant FCI Issuing Lender no later than 3:00 p.m., Düsseldorf time, on the Business Day following the day it has received such Utilization Request (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the Business Day following the first Business Day after the day the Foreign Trade Facility Agent has received the Utilization Request).  The Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall determine in its notice to the relevant FCI Issuing Lender the day on which the requested FCI shall be issued (such day being the “Utilization Date”) which shall be the second Business Day of such FCI Issuing Lender immediately following its receipt of the Utilization Request.  Such FCI Issuing Lender(s) shall issue the respective FCI(s) on the Utilization Date unless such FCI Issuing Lender informs the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and the relevant Borrower on or prior to 5:00 p.m., Düsseldorf time, on the Utilization Date that (and specifying the reasons) (x) it will not be able to issue the relevant FCI on the Utilization Date (in which case the FCI Issuing Lender shall inform the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and such Borrower when it will be able to issue the relevant FCI) or (y) it will not be able to issue the FCI at all (1) due to its internal rules and guidelines, (2) due to any applicable law or regulation with which it has to comply, (3) due to the currency (other than any Permitted Currency) in which the FCI shall be issued, (4) because it is of the opinion that, in the case of Participation FCIs, the Mandatory Requirements are not fulfilled, or (5) because it is of the opinion that the Dispensable Requirements are not fulfilled.  No FCI Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Participation FCI if any Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such FCI Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of cash collateral or other credit support to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, satisfactory to such FCI Issuing Lender (in its reasonable discretion) with the Parent Borrower or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate such FCI Issuing Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.24(a)(iv))

77

with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the FCI then proposed to be issued or that FCI and all other FCI Exposure as to which such FCI Issuing Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

(ii)                                  If an FCI shall be issued on the same day the Utilization Request is delivered to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent (or if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day), the relevant Borrower shall inform the Foreign Trade Facility Agent in advance that the requested FCI shall be issued on the same day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day).  The Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall promptly inform the relevant FCI Issuing Lender accordingly which shall be obliged to use commercially reasonable efforts to issue the FCI on the same day as it receives the Utilization Request (or if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day).

(iii)                               (A) In the cases referred to in clause (x) or clause (y)(3) of Section 2.6(g)(i) above, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall obtain, and follow, instructions from the relevant Borrower, (B) in the cases referred to in clause (y)(1), (2), (4) and (5) of Section 2.6(g)(i) above, the relevant Borrower shall agree with the relevant FCI Issuing Lender as to any amendments necessary to the respective FCI to enable the relevant FCI Issuing Lender to issue the relevant FCI and, in the case of sub-paragraph (y)(5), Section 2.6(e) shall apply mutatis mutandis, (C) if, in the cases referred to under (A) or (B) above, no agreement can be reached between the relevant FCI Issuing Lender and the relevant Borrower, such FCI Issuing Lender shall reject the request to issue the requested FCI and the relevant Borrower shall promptly advise the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and shall designate another FCI Issuing Lender and the time for issuance of the FCI shall be postponed to the extent necessary for practical reasons.  Such FCI Issuing Lender shall promptly inform the Foreign Trade Facility Agent about all changes agreed with such Borrower with respect to a Utilization Request in accordance with this clause (iii).

(iv)                              The relevant FCI Issuing Lender may either issue the FCI directly or, if requested by and agreed with the relevant Borrower, arrange that the FCI (an “Indirect FCI”) be issued by a second bank (including one of such FCI Issuing Lender’s domestic or foreign branches or affiliates) or financial institution (the “Indirect FCI Issuing Lender”) against such FCI Issuing Lender’s corresponding Counter-Guarantee (which may support one or more Indirect FCIs and which may be for a longer or shorter tenor than such Indirect FCI(s) so long as the tenor of such Counter-Guarantee is permitted under this Agreement) in the form satisfactory to the Indirect FCI Issuing Lender.  In addition, in the case that an issued and outstanding letter of credit, guaranty or surety is being rolled into the Foreign Trade Facility as an FCI in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then if requested by and agreed with the relevant Borrower, the relevant FCI Issuing Lender may arrange that one or more corresponding Counter-Guarantees (which may support one or more Indirect FCIs and which may be for a longer or shorter tenor than such Indirect FCI(s) so long as the tenor of such Counter-Guarantee is permitted under this Agreement), in the form satisfactory to the issuer of such existing letter of credit, guaranty or surety, be issued by such FCI Issuing Lender, in which event (A) the issued letter of credit, guaranty or surety shall be treated as an Indirect FCI, (B) the issuer thereof shall be treated as an Indirect FCI Issuing Lender, and (C) such FCI Issuing Lender rather than the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall be responsible for checking for compliance with the Mandatory Requirements (except that only the Mandatory Requirements under the headings “Permitted Types of Instruments” and “Expiry” need to be complied with; for the avoidance of doubt, the Mandatory Requirements under the headings “Rules”, “Reference to Underlying Transaction/Purpose Clause” and “Payment Obligations”, as well as the Dispensable Requirements need not be complied with) with respect to such Indirect FCIs in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, but the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall be responsible for

78

checking for compliance with all the Mandatory Requirements with respect to the corresponding Counter-Guarantee(s) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  In case of an Indirect FCI, such FCI Issuing Lender is entitled to receive, for payment to the Indirect FCI Issuing Lender, separate fees and expenses in respect of such Indirect FCI in addition to the fees and expenses pursuant to Section 2.6(p).  In line with international practices, the tenor of a Counter-Guarantee in favor of the Indirect FCI Issuing Lender may exceed the tenor of the Indirect FCI by at least ten calendar days so long as such tenor is permitted under this Agreement.

(v)                                 If a Utilization Request is made to request an amendment (including an extension) of any outstanding FCI, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall forward the Utilization Request to the relevant FCI Issuing Lender if the requirements of Section 2.6(d) are fulfilled.  Clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.6(g) shall apply mutatis mutandis.

(vi)                              Each FCI Issuing Lender shall comply at all times with the obligations set forth on Schedule 2.6(g).

(vii)                           If the relevant FCI Issuing Lender has not rejected the request to issue an FCI, the requested currency of which is not a Permitted Currency, the relevant Borrower assumes all risks related thereto and shall reimburse all costs reasonably incurred in connection with the procurement of such currency for honoring such FCI in such specific currency.

(h)                                 Borrower Liabilities.

(i)                                     If an FCI Issuing Lender receives a request for payment under any FCI (including from an Indirect FCI Issuing Lender under a Counter-Guarantee) issued by it, it shall promptly (and before any payment is made in respect thereof) inform the relevant Borrower, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and the Administrative Agent accordingly.  A Borrower’s obligation to reimburse any payment made by an FCI Issuing Lender under an FCI (each, an “FCI Disbursement”) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any FCI, of any request for the issuance thereof or of this Agreement, or of any term or provision therein or herein, or of any underlying agreement (ii) any draft or other document presented under an FCI proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable FCI Issuing Lender under an FCI against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such FCI, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, such Borrower’s obligations hereunder.  Neither the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, the Lenders nor any FCI Issuing Lender, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any FCI or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any FCI (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms, any error in the finding of true facts or law or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable FCI Issuing Lender; provided that neither of the foregoing sentences shall be construed to excuse such FCI Issuing Lender from liability to the applicable Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by such FCI Issuing Lender’s gross

79

negligence, willful misconduct or failure to exercise care (each as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under an FCI comply with the terms thereof, or if the obligation to honor a request for payment under an FCI depends upon non-documentary conditions, whether questions of facts or law at issue in the underlying transaction justify the payment by the FCI Issuing Lender.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, (i) with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of an FCI, an FCI Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such FCI; or (ii) if the obligation to honor a request for payment under an FCI depends upon non-documentary conditions, an FCI Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such facts presented in connection with the request for payment, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary; provided, however, that the applicable Borrower does not promptly provide irrefutable evidence that facts presented in connection with the request for payment are not true, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such facts.  Without limiting any rights that the applicable FCI Issuing Lender may have under applicable law, (i) the applicable Borrower’s aggregate remedies against the applicable FCI Issuing Lender for wrongfully honoring a presentation or wrongfully retaining honored documents shall in no event exceed the aggregate amount paid by such Borrower to such FCI Issuing Lender with respect to the honored presentation, plus interest at the rate equal to the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for Interest Periods of one month, (ii) the applicable FCI Issuing Lender may accept as a draft any written or electronic demand or request for payment under an FCI, even if non-negotiable or not in the form of a draft, and may disregard any requirement that such draft, demand or request bear any or adequate reference to the FCI, and (iii) the applicable FCI Issuing Lender may purchase or discount an accepted draft or deferred payment obligation incurred under an FCI without affecting the amount or timing of the reimbursement due from the applicable Borrower.

(ii)                                  The relevant Borrower shall, upon demand from the relevant FCI Issuing Lender, reimburse such FCI Issuing Lender for, and irrevocably and unconditionally indemnify such FCI Issuing Lender against any sum paid or payable in accordance with clause (i) above under an FCI issued by such FCI Issuing Lender at the request of such Borrower and against all other liabilities, reasonable costs (including any costs incurred in funding any amount paid by such FCI Issuing Lender under or in connection with such FCI), claims, losses and expenses which such FCI Issuing Lender may at any time (whether before, on or after the Foreign Trade Maturity Date) reasonably incur or sustain in connection with or arising out of any such FCI.  Each such reimbursement shall be made in the currency in which the applicable FCI was issued.  If an FCI Issuing Lender shall make any FCI Disbursement, then, unless the relevant Borrower shall reimburse such FCI Disbursement in full on the date such FCI Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such FCI Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that such Borrower reimburses such FCI Disbursement, at a fluctuating per annum rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus 1.0%; provided that if such Borrower fails to reimburse such FCI Disbursement within five calendar days (including for any interest incurred in connection with such FCI Disbursement pursuant to the preceding provisions of this sentence), then such entire unpaid amount shall bear interest, for each day from and including the sixth calendar day after the date such FCI Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that such Borrower reimburses such FCI Disbursement, at a fluctuating per annum rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus 2.0%.

80

(i)                                     Participations.  (i) By the issuance of a Participation FCI (or an amendment to a Participation FCI increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable FCI Issuing Lender or the Lenders with Participation FCI Commitments, the applicable FCI Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have granted, automatically, to each Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment, and each Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment shall be deemed to have acquired, automatically, from such FCI Issuing Lender, a participation in such Participation FCI equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Participation FCI.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent in Dollars, for the account of such FCI Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of (i) each FCI Disbursement with respect to any Participation FCI made by such FCI Issuing Lender in Dollars and (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of each FCI Disbursement with respect to any Participation FCI made by such FCI Issuing Lender in a Permitted Currency or in another currency permitted under Section 2.6(g)(vii) and, in each case, not reimbursed or indemnified by the relevant Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section, or of any such reimbursement or indemnity payment required to be refunded to such Borrower for any reason.  Each Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment acknowledges and agrees that its obligations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Participation FCIs are absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Participation FCI and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Participation FCI Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(j)                                    Reimbursement.  If the applicable FCI Issuing Lender shall make any FCI Disbursement in respect of a Participation FCI, and if the relevant Borrower fails to reimburse or to indemnify such FCI Issuing Lender for such FCI Disbursement in accordance with Section 2.6(h), the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall promptly notify the applicable FCI Issuing Lender and each other Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment of the applicable unreimbursed amount, the Dollar Equivalent thereof, the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment shall pay to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent in Dollars its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the relevant Borrower, and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable FCI Issuing Lender in Dollars the amounts so received by it from each such Lender.  Each Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment at its option (after consultation with the Parent Borrower) may perform any reimbursement obligation pursuant to this Section 2.6(j) by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to perform such reimbursement obligation if in the judgment of such Lender such designation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.19, as the case may be, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligations of the relevant Borrower or such Lender under this Section 2.6.  Promptly following receipt by the Foreign Trade Facility Agent of any payment from any Borrower pursuant to Section 2.6(h), the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders that have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such FCI Issuing Lender as their interests may appear.  Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any FCI Issuing Lender for any FCI Disbursement made by the applicable FCI Issuing Lender shall not relieve any Borrower of its obligation to make any reimbursement or indemnity pursuant to Section 2.6(h).

(k)                                 Reversal of FCIs.

(i)                                     Each FCI Issuing Lender will notify the Foreign Trade Facility Agent on each Business Day about any expiration or reduction of the Face Amount of any FCI or Counter-

81

Guarantee issued by it which became effective the preceding Business Day (a “Utilization Reduction Notice”). With respect to:

(A)                               an FCI (other than a Counter-Guarantee or an Indirect FCI) which under its terms expires without any doubt if no demand has been received by such FCI Issuing Lender on or before a specified expiry date, such FCI Issuing Lender will give a Utilization Reduction Notice on the Business Day following the effectiveness of the reversal of the FCI, unless such FCI does not qualify for a reversal due to its governing law and/or jurisdiction (in which case clause (B) below shall apply mutatis mutandis);

(B)                               an FCI (other than a Counter-Guarantee or an Indirect FCI) which, under its terms either does not provide for a specific expiry date or does not otherwise expire without any doubt if no demand for payment has been received by such FCI Issuing Lender on or before a definite expiry date or in the case of a release of an FCI before the expiry date specified therein, such FCI Issuing Lender will give a Utilization Reduction Notice (1) as and when the original of the FCI including all amendments, if any, is received by it from the beneficiary or the relevant Borrower, or (2) after having received any explicit notice of release from the beneficiary in form and substance substantially in accordance with the form provided in Schedule 2.6(k);

(C)                               a Counter-Guarantee, such FCI Issuing Lender will give a Utilization Reduction Notice only upon being unconditionally discharged in writing from any respective liability by the Indirect FCI Issuing Lender, or upon such FCI Issuing Lender having paid the amount available under the Counter-Guarantee to the Indirect FCI Issuing Lender; provided that if the FCI Issuing Lender has been prevented from effecting such payment without delay, the Utilization Reduction Notice is subject to any assertion of damages on account of delay by the Indirect FCI Issuing Lender;

(D)                               an FCI (other than a Counter-Guarantee or an Indirect FCI) issued in connection with legal proceedings in Germany, such FCI Issuing Lender will give a Utilization Reduction Notice only upon receipt of the original of the FCI for discharge from the beneficiary or upon the beneficiary’s consent to the discharge or upon establishment of the expiry of the FCI by an executory order according to §109(2) of the German Code of Civil Procedure;

(E)                                an FCI (other than a Counter-Guarantee or an Indirect FCI), expressly subject to the Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantees, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 758, such FCI Issuing Lender will give a Utilization Reduction Notice if under said rules and due to the governing law and/or jurisdiction of such FCI a termination of a guarantee would have to be made;

(F)                                 an FCI (other than a Counter-Guarantee or an Indirect FCI), expressly subject to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, 2007 Revision, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600 or the International Standby Practices 1998, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590, such FCI Issuing Lender will give a Utilization Reduction Notice (1) as and when the original of the FCI including all amendments, if any, is being received by it for cancellation from the beneficiary or the relevant Borrower prior to its stated expiration date (if any), or (2) after having received any explicit notice of release from the beneficiary in form and substance substantially in accordance with the form provided in Schedule 2.6(k);

82

(G)                               reductions of an FCI or an Indirect FCI/Counter-Guarantee, such FCI Issuing Lender will give a Utilization Reduction Notice only if (1) the terms and conditions of any reduction clause of the terms of the FCI are, without any doubt, complied with or if the beneficiary or, in the case of an Indirect FCI, the Indirect FCI Issuing Lender has certified in writing and unconditionally the reduction of the FCI or Counter-Guarantee respectively or (2) the FCI Issuing Lender has effected partial payment pursuant to a demand; and

(H)                              any FCI in relation to which such FCI Issuing Lender has effected full payment pursuant to a demand so that the beneficiary would not be entitled to claim any further payment, such FCI Issuing Lender will give a Utilization Reduction Notice.

(ii)                                  If a claim under an FCI is lodged with the relevant FCI Issuing Lender after such FCI Issuing Lender has given a Utilization Reduction Notice with respect to such FCI:

(A)                               such FCI Issuing Lender shall effect payment only if such payment is expressly authorized by the relevant Borrower or ordered by a court decision, enforceable in the country where it was rendered; and

(B)                               the relevant Borrower shall (1) indemnify such FCI Issuing Lender in accordance with Section 2.6(h) and (2) pay to such FCI Issuing Lender an amount (without duplication) equal to the Participation FCI Commitment Fee such FCI Issuing Lender would have received if the relevant FCI or Joint Signature FCI had been outstanding from the date the relevant Utilization Reduction Notice was given until the date payment in respect of such claim is made by such Borrower to the FCI Issuing Lender in accordance with Section 2.6(h).

(l)                                     Permitted Maturity.  Each FCI shall have an expiry date that complies with the definition of Permitted Maturity, unless any such FCI does not provide for a specific expiry date, in which case the Commercial Lifetime of such FCI shall fall within the Permitted Maturity.

(m)                             Joint Signature FCIs.

(i)                                     If a Utilization Request has been made for an FCI to be issued as a Joint Signature FCI, then the relevant Borrower will approach the relevant beneficiary to ascertain whether such beneficiary is prepared to accept a Joint Signature FCI.  In case of the beneficiary’s acceptance, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent will, in close coordination with such Borrower, select the relevant Bilateral FCI Issuing Lenders or Participation FCI Issuing Lenders (the “Joint FCI Issuing Lenders”) prepared to issue the Joint Signature FCI and acceptable to the beneficiary.

(ii)                                  The Joint FCI Issuing Lenders so selected will then appoint one of the Joint FCI Issuing Lenders to act as their agent (the “Joint Foreign Trade Facility Agent”) in connection with the Joint Signature FCI acting on terms to be agreed between the Joint FCI Issuing Lenders and the Joint Foreign Trade Facility Agent pursuant to an agreement substantially in the form of Schedule 2.6(m).  The Joint Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall be responsible for coordinating the Joint FCI Issuing Lenders and shall represent the Joint FCI Issuing Lenders vis-à-vis the beneficiary, and the Joint Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall be responsible for processing the Joint Signature FCI.  In such capacity, the Joint Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall give to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent the notices otherwise to be given by each FCI Issuing Lender hereunder, in particular under Sections 2.6(j), 2.6(k)(i), 2.6(p)(vi) and 2.6(s).

83

(iii)                               Any liability of the Joint FCI Issuing Lenders under a Joint Signature FCI, and the rights resulting from honoring a demand made thereunder, shall be several.  Each Joint FCI Issuing Lender shall be responsible for the proportionate amount demanded by the beneficiary under a Joint Signature FCI in the proportion the amount of the Joint Signature FCI allocated to it bears to the total Dollar Equivalent of such Joint Signature FCI.  The Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall, with respect to the determination of the utilization of the individual Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment or individual Participation FCI Issuing Commitment, as applicable, of each Joint FCI Issuing Lender and with respect to the calculation of any Excess Amount, treat each Joint FCI Issuing Lender in the Joint Signature FCI as if each Joint FCI Issuing Lender had issued an FCI in the amount equal to the amount of its proportionate amount of the Joint Signature FCI.

(n)                                 Determination of Dollar Equivalent.  On each Business Day on which any FCI is outstanding under this Agreement, or there is any other FCI Issuing Lender Exposure, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall determine the amount of the Dollar Equivalent of all outstanding FCIs and unreimbursed FCI Disbursements (in each case adjusted to reflect any repayment, prepayment or reversal of any relevant FCI) on the basis of the foreign exchange rates for the previous Business Day which shall be determined as follows:

(i)                                     if the conversion rate of the respective currency into Dollars is published on the internet page “www.db-markets.com” (on the sub-page “Markets,” sub-page “FX Rates,” sub-page “DB Fixings” or on any other internet page replacing such internet page), the calculation shall be based on the rates displayed on such internet page; and

(ii)                                  if the conversion rate of the respective currency into Dollars is not published on the internet page “www.db-markets.com” (on the sub-page “Markets,” sub-page “FX Rates,” sub-page “DB Fixings” or on any other internet page replacing such internet page), the calculation shall be based on the previous month’s foreign exchange rates published on the same internet page on the sub-page “DB Fixings” under the heading “Overview for Historic Rates” for “End of month prices”.

If the relevant exchange rate cannot be determined in accordance with clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall determine the appropriate exchange rate in its reasonable discretion.

(o)                                 Cash Cover.

(i)                                     If, pursuant to a Daily Report issued on the last Business Day of any calendar month (each a “Rebasing Date”), (A) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the FCI Issuing Lender Exposure of the Bilateral FCI Issuing Lenders exceeds the aggregate amount of the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitments of the Bilateral FCI Issuing Lenders, (B) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the FCI Issuing Lender Exposure of the Participation FCI Issuing Lenders exceeds the aggregate amount of the Participation FCI Issuing Commitments of the Participation FCI Issuing Lenders or the aggregate amount of the Participation FCI Commitments of the Lenders, or (C) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the Participation FCIs and Participation Joint Signature FCIs outstanding plus the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the outstanding unreimbursed FCI Disbursements with respect to Participation FCIs exceeds the amount of the Participation FCI Commitments of the Lenders, in each case, by more than $500,000 (any such exceeding amount being the “Excess Amount”), the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall request in writing from the Parent Borrower, within a period of five Business Days following receipt of the respective Daily Report, Cash Cover with respect to such Excess Amount, and the Parent Borrower shall, within a period of four Business Days following receipt of the demand from the Foreign Trade Facility

84

Agent, provide for Cash Cover in accordance with clause (iv) below.  For the avoidance of doubt, this clause (i) shall be applicable even to the extent any such Excess Amount results, in whole or in part, from fluctuation of currency exchange rates.

(ii)                                  [Reserved].

(iii)                               If in respect of any Rebasing Date subsequent to a Rebasing Date in respect of which Cash Cover had been provided pursuant to clause (i) above to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, the Excess Amount (as shown in the relevant Daily Report) has been reduced to zero (either through fluctuation of currency exchange rates or through the reduction or expiration of any FCIs), the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall release the whole or relevant part of the Cash Cover within three Business Days of the relevant Rebasing Date.

(iv)                              If a Borrower is obliged to provide for Cash Cover under this Agreement, such Borrower shall pay the relevant amount for which it shall provide Cash Cover in Dollars or in the Dollar Equivalent of the currency of the respective FCI for which Cash Cover has to be provided to an account with the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, in the name of such Borrower or the Parent Borrower (at the election of the Parent Borrower), to be maintained for the benefit of the Bilateral FCI Issuing Lenders or Participation FCI Issuing Lenders and Lenders with a Participation FCI Commitment, as applicable (such deposited amount, the “Cash Cover”).  Such account shall be an interest bearing account in the name of such Borrower or the Parent Borrower (at the election of the Parent Borrower) and such account shall be pledged to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent on the basis of a pledge agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and such Borrower or the Parent Borrower, as applicable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall be required to deposit cash in support of any obligation of any other Borrower and no collateral or other credit support provided by any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall serve as security for any obligation of any other Borrower.

(v)                                 If the term of any FCI extends beyond the Foreign Trade Maturity Date or other termination of this Agreement, including if any obligation of any FCI Issuing Lender with respect to any FCI governed by the laws of the People’s Republic of China or any other Governmental Authority extends beyond the Foreign Trade Maturity Date or other termination of this Agreement, the applicable Borrower shall, on the earlier of the Foreign Trade Maturity Date or the date of such other termination of this Agreement, do one of the following:  (A) cause such FCI to be surrendered for cancellation to the applicable FCI Issuing Lender or (B) provide Cash Cover (or other credit support reasonably satisfactory) to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent in an amount equal to at least 103% of the Dollar Equivalent of the Face Amount of such FCI or (C) provide the applicable FCI Issuing Lender with a back-up letter of credit or other analogous undertaking on reasonably acceptable terms and conditions in an amount at least equal to 103% of the Dollar Equivalent of the Face Amount of such FCI from a financial institution approved by the applicable FCI Issuing Lender or Joint FCI Issuing Lender, if applicable (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld in accordance with such FCI Issuing Lender’s or Joint FCI Issuing Lender’s existing banking practice consistently applied).  Upon notice to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent of the termination, reduction or expiration (without any pending drawing) of such FCI, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall release the whole or relevant part of the Cash Cover (or other credit back-stop) within three Business Days of the relevant date of termination, reduction or expiration, and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall use Cash Cover to promptly reimburse any FCI Issuing Lender honoring any FCI.

85
