The final installment for each Term Loan, shall in each case and in all events, equal the entire remaining principal balance of each of the Term Loans, respectively. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the outstanding principal balance of the US Term Loan A and the European Term Loan A shall be due and payable in full on the Commitment Termination Date. The outstanding principal balance of the US Term Loan B shall be due and payable in full on June 30, 2009 or earlier pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof. Amounts borrowed under this Section 1.l(a) and repaid may not be reborrowed.

The US Term Loan A shall be evidenced by promissory notes substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(a)(i)(A) (each a “US Term Note A” and, collectively, the “US Term Notes A”), and, except as provided in Section 1.7, TPUSA and TPI shall execute and deliver a US Term Note A to each US Term A Lender. The US Term Loan B shall be evidenced by promissory notes substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(a)(i)(B) (each a “US Term Note B” and, collectively, the “US Term Notes B” and, together with the US Term Notes A, the “US Term Notes” and, each a “US Term Note”), and, except as provided in Section 1.7, TPUSA and TPI shall execute and deliver a US Term Note B to each US Term B Lender. Each US Term Note shall represent the obligation of TPUSA and TPI to pay the amount of the applicable US Term Lender’s applicable US Term Loan A Commitment or US Term Loan B Commitment, as applicable, together with interest thereon.

The European Term Loan A shall be evidenced by promissory notes substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(a)(ii)(A) (each a “European Term Note A” and, collectively, the “European Term Notes A”), and, except as provided in Section 1.7, DF shall execute and deliver

a European Term Note A to each European Term A Lender. Each European Term Note A shall represent the obligation of DF to pay the amount of the European Term Loan Commitment of each applicable European Term A Lender, together with interest thereon.

(b) Revolving Loans.

(i) US Revolving Loan. Each US Revolving Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to continue to make available in Dollars to TPI and TPUSA from time to time until the Commitment Termination Date its Pro Rata Share of advances (each a “US Revolving Credit Advance”) requested by US Borrower Representative on behalf of TPI hereunder. The Pro Rata Share of the US Revolving Loan of any US Revolving Lender (including, without duplication, Swing Line Loans) shall not at any time exceed its separate US Revolving Loan Commitment. US Revolving Credit Advances may be repaid and reborrowed; provided that the amount of any US Revolving Credit Advance to be made at any time shall not exceed the US Maximum Amount at such time less the US Revolving Loan Outstandings at such time. The US Revolving Loan shall be repaid in full on the Commitment Termination Date. Except as provided in the last sentence of Section 1.7, TPI and TPUSA shall execute and deliver to each US Revolving Lender a promissory note to evidence the US Revolving Loan Commitment of such US Revolving Lender in the principal amount of the US Revolving Loan Commitment of such US Revolving Lender, dated the Closing Date and substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(b)(i) (each a “US Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “US Revolving Notes”). If at any time the outstanding US Revolving Loan exceeds the aggregate US Revolving Loan Commitments, Lenders shall not be obligated to make US Revolving Credit Advances, no additional US Letters of Credit shall be issued and the US Revolving Loan must be repaid immediately and US Letters of Credit cash collateralized, in each case, in an amount sufficient to eliminate any such excess. All such excess shall constitute Index Rate Loans and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. US Revolving Credit Advances which are Index Rate Loans may be requested in any amount. For funding requests for a US Revolving Credit Advance equal to or greater than $5,000,000, written notice must be provided by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) one (1) Business Day prior to the Business Day on which such US Revolving Credit Advance is to be made and for funding requests less than $5,000,000, written notice must be provided by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day on which such US Revolving Credit Advance is to be made. All US Revolving Credit Advances which are LIBOR Loans require three (3) Business Days prior written notice. Written notices for funding requests shall be in the form attached as Exhibit 1.1(b)(i)(A) (“Notice of US Revolving Credit Advance”).

(ii) European Revolving Loan. Each European Revolving Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to continue to make available in Dollars or in an Alternative Currency to European Borrower from time to time until the Commitment Termination Date its Pro Rata Share of advances (each a “European Revolving Credit Advance”) requested by European Borrower. The Pro Rata Share of the European Revolving Loan of any European Revolving Lender shall not at any time exceed its separate European Revolving Loan Commitment. European Revolving Credit Advances may be repaid and reborrowed; provided that the amount of any European Revolving Credit Advance to be made at any time shall not exceed the European Revolving Maximum Amount less the European Revolving Loan Outstandings at such time. The Equivalent Amount in Dollars of each European Revolving Credit Advance shall be recalculated hereunder on each date on which it shall be necessary to

determine the European Revolving Maximum Amount. The European Revolving Loan shall be repaid in full on the Commitment Termination Date. Except as provided in the last sentence of Section 1.7, European Borrower shall execute and deliver to each European Revolving Lender a promissory note to evidence the European Revolving Loan Commitment of such European Revolving Lender in the principal amount of the European Revolving Loan Commitment of such European Revolving Lender, dated the Closing Date and substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(b)(ii) (each a “European Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “European Revolving Notes”). If at any time the outstanding European Revolving Loan exceeds the aggregate European Revolving Loan Commitment, Lenders shall not be obligated to make European Revolving Credit Advances, no additional European Letters of Credit shall be issued and the European Revolving Loan must be repaid immediately and European Letters of Credit cash collateralized, in each case, in an amount sufficient to eliminate any such excess. All such excess shall constitute an LIBOR Loan having an LIBOR Period of one month and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. All LIBOR Loans require three (3) Business Days prior written notice. Written notices for funding requests shall be in the form attached as Exhibit 1.1(b)(ii)(A) (“Notice of European Revolving Credit Advance”). A European Revolving Credit Advance may not be drawn in an Alternative Currency if (a) any European Revolving Lender notifies the European Funding Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the third Business Day prior to the proposed European Revolving Credit Advance that deposits of such Alternative Currency are not readily available to such Lender in an amount comparable with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such proposed European Revolving Credit Advance; or (b) the European Funding Agent determines after consultation with the other European Revolving Lenders (which determination shall be conclusive) at any time prior to 10:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the date of such proposed European Revolving Credit Advance that by reason of any change in currency availability, currency exchange rates or exchange controls it is, or will be, impracticable for such European Revolving Credit Advance to be made in the requested Alternative Currency. In such event, the proposed European Revolving Credit Advance shall be made in Dollars.

(c) Loans Under Existing Credit Agreement. The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that as of the Closing Date (i) there is no outstanding principal amount of US Revolving Credit Advances under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement; (ii) there is no outstanding principal amount of European Revolving Credit Advances under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement; (iii) the outstanding principal amount of the US Term Loan A under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement equals $9,561,772.39 and that such US Term Loan A is continued as US Term Loan A hereunder; (iv) the outstanding principal amount of the US Term Loan B under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement equals $133,650,000.00 and that such US Term Loan B is continued as US Term Loan B hereunder; (v) the outstanding principal amount of the European Term Loan A under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement equals $35,568,000.00 plus €20,062,090.51 and that such European Term Loan A is continued as the European Term Loan A hereunder; (vi) the US Letters of Credit outstanding under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement equals $265,000; and (vii) European Letters of Credit are outstanding under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement having a stated amount of $4,196,688.15 and such European Letters of Credit are continued as European Letters of Credit hereunder. The Commitments are as set forth on Annex B hereto. On the Closing Date all outstanding IBOR Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) to the US Borrowers to each Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement shall continue as LIBOR Loans hereunder.

(d) Swing Line Facility.

(i) Administrative Agent shall notify the Swing Line Lender upon Administrative Agent’s receipt of any Notice of US Revolving Credit Advance. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender may, in its discretion, make available from time to time until the Commitment Termination Date advances (each, a “Swing Line Advance”) in accordance with any such notice. The provisions of this Section 1.1(d)(i) shall not relieve US Revolving Lenders of their obligations to make US Revolving Credit Advances under Section 1.1(b)(i); provided that if the Swing Line Lender makes a Swing Line Advance pursuant to any such notice, such Swing Line Advance shall be in lieu of any US Revolving Credit Advance that otherwise may be made by US Revolving Lenders pursuant to such notice. The aggregate amount of Swing Line Advances outstanding shall not exceed at any time the lesser of (i) the Swing Line Commitment less the then outstanding principal balance of the Swing Line Loans at such time or (ii) the US Maximum Amount at such time less the US Revolving Loan Outstandings at such time (“Swing Line Availability”). Until the Commitment Termination Date, TPI may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section 1.1(d)(i). Each Swing Line Advance shall be made pursuant to a Notice of US Revolving Credit Advance delivered by US Borrower Representative on behalf of TPI and TPUSA to Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 1.1(b)(i). Unless the Swing Line Lender has received at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice from Requisite Lenders instructing it not to make a Swing Line Advance, the Swing Line Lender shall, notwithstanding the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 7.2 be entitled to fund that Swing Line Advance, and to have each US Revolving Lender make US Revolving Credit Advances in accordance with Section 1.1(d)(iii) or purchase participating interests in accordance with Section 1.1(d)(iv). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Swing Line Loan shall constitute an Index Rate Loan. TPI and TPUSA jointly and severally shall repay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Loan upon demand therefor by Administrative Agent. The entire unpaid balance of the Swing Line Loan and all other noncontingent Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Commitment Termination Date if not sooner paid in full.

(ii) TPI and TPUSA shall execute and deliver to the Swing Line Lender a promissory note to evidence the Swing Line Commitment. Such note shall be in the principal amount of the Swing Line Commitment of the Swing Line Lender, dated the Closing Date and substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(d) (the “Swing Line Note”). The Swing Line Note shall represent the obligation of TPI to pay the amount of the Swing Line Commitment or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Swing Line Advances made to TPI together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 1.2.

(iii) The Swing Line Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion but no less frequently than once weekly, shall on behalf of TPI and TPUSA (and each of TPI and TPUSA hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so act on its behalf) request each US Revolving Lender (including the Swing Line Lender) to make a US Revolving Credit Advance to TPI and TPUSA (which shall be an Index Rate Loan) in an amount equal to that US Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of the Swing Line Loan (the “Refunded Swing Line Loan”) outstanding on the date such notice is given. Unless any of the events described in Sections 6.1(f) and 6.l(g) has occurred (in which

event the procedures of Section 1.1(d)(iv) shall apply) and regardless of whether the conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement to the making of a US Revolving Credit Advance are then satisfied, each US Revolving Lender shall disburse directly to Administrative Agent, its Pro Rata Share of a US Revolving Credit Advance on behalf of the Swing Line Lender, prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York time), in immediately available funds on the Business Day next succeeding the date that notice is given. The proceeds of those US Revolving Credit Advances shall be immediately paid to the Swing Line Lender and applied to repay the Refunded Swing Line Loan.

(iv) If, prior to refunding a Swing Line Loan with a US Revolving Credit Advance pursuant to Section 1.1(d)(iii), one of the events described in Sections 6.1(f) or 6.1(g) has occurred, then, subject to the provisions of Section l.1(d)(v) below, each US Revolving Lender shall, on the date such US Revolving Credit Advance was to have been made for the benefit of TPI and TPUSA, purchase from the Swing Line Lender an undivided participation interest in the Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share (determined with respect to the US Revolving Loan) of such Swing Line Loan. Upon request, each US Revolving Lender shall promptly transfer to the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation interest.

(v) Each US Revolving Lender’s obligation to make US Revolving Credit Advances in accordance with Section 1.1(d)(iii) and to purchase participation interests in accordance with Section 1.1(d)(iv) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such US Revolving Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, TPI or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default; (C) any inability of TPI to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement at any time or (D) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each US Revolving Lender the amounts required pursuant to Sections 1.1(d)(iii) or 1.1(d)(iv), as the case may be. If any US Revolving Lender does not make available such amounts to Administrative Agent or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover, on demand, such amount on demand from such US Revolving Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date of non payment until such amount is paid in full at the Federal Funds Rate for the first two Business Days and at the Index Rate thereafter.

(e) European Working Capital Loan. Each European Working Capital Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make available in Dollars or in an Alternative Currency to European Borrower from time to time until the Commitment Termination Date its Pro Rata Share of advances (each a “European Working Capital Credit Advance”) requested by European Borrower. The Pro Rata Share of the European Working Capital Loan of any European Working Capital Lender shall not at any time exceed its separate European Working Capital Loan Commitment. European Working Capital Credit Advances may be repaid and reborrowed; provided that the amount of any European Working Capital Credit Advance to be made at any time shall not exceed the European Working Capital Maximum Amount less the European Working Capital Loan Outstandings at such time. The Equivalent Amount in Dollars of each European Working Capital Credit Advance shall be recalculated hereunder on each date on which it shall be necessary to determine the European Working Capital Maximum Amount. The

European Working Capital Loan shall be repaid in full on the Commitment Termination Date. Except as provided in the last sentence of Section 1.7, European Borrower shall execute and deliver to each European Working Capital Lender a promissory note to evidence the European Working Capital Loan Commitment of such European Working Capital Lender in the principal amount of the European Working Capital Loan Commitment of such European Working Capital Lender, dated the Closing Date and substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(e)(i) (each a “European Working Capital Note” and, collectively, the “European Working Capital Notes”). All European Working Capital Credit Advances shall constitute N Bor Loans. If at any time the outstanding European Working Capital Loan exceeds the aggregate European Working Capital Loan Commitment, European Working Capital Lenders shall not be obligated to make European Working Capital Credit Advances and the European Working Capital Loan must be repaid immediately in an amount sufficient to eliminate any such excess. All such excess shall constitute an N Bor Loan and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. For funding requests for a European Working Capital Credit Advance written notice must be provided by 10:00 a.m. (London time) on the Business Day on which such European Working Capital Credit Advance is to be made. Written notices for funding requests shall be in the form attached as Exhibit 1.1(e)(ii) (“Notice of European Working Capital Credit Advance”) (it being agreed that any presentation of a draft with respect to a bank account maintained by the European Borrower at Nordea for which there are otherwise insufficient funds then available to honor such draft shall be deemed to be notice (a “Deemed Notice”) for funding of a European Working Capital Advance. A European Working Capital Credit Advance may not be drawn in an Alternative Currency if (a) any European Working Capital Lender notifies the European Working Capital Loan Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the Business Day prior to the proposed European Working Capital Credit Advance that deposits of such Alternative Currency are not readily available to such Lender in an amount comparable with such European Working Capital Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such proposed European Working Capital Credit Advance; or (b) the European Working Capital Loan Agent determines after consultation with the other European Working Capital Lenders (which determination shall be conclusive) at any time prior to 10:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the date of such proposed European Working Capital Credit Advance that by reason of any change in currency availability, currency exchange rates or exchange controls it is, or will be, impracticable for such European Working Capital Credit Advance to be made in the requested Alternative Currency. In such event, the proposed European Working Capital Credit Advance shall be made in Dollars.

The European Borrower may notify the European Working Capital Loan Agent, the Administrative Agent and the European Loan Agent that the European Borrower is electing to permanently convert all or a portion of the then outstanding European Working Capital Loan Commitments to European Revolving Loan Commitments. Upon receipt of such notice by each of such Persons (i) the European Borrower shall repay all then outstanding European Working Capital Credit Advances (and shall pay all then outstanding interest thereon and all other amounts owing with respect thereto), (ii) the European Working Capital Loan Commitment of each European Working Capital Lender shall be reduced to zero and (x) in the event that the European Working Capital Lender is also a European Revolving Lender, the European Revolving Loan Commitment of each such European Working Capital Lender shall, without the need for any amendments or other modifications hereto, be increased by the amount that the European Working Capital Loan Commitment of such European Working Capital Lender was so reduced and (y) in the event that the European Working Capital Lender is at such time not a

European Revolving Lender, such European Working Capital Lender shall become and be deemed for all purposes to be a European Revolving Lender and the European Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender shall, without the need for any amendments or other modifications hereto, equal the amount by which the European Working Capital Commitment of such Lender was so reduced, (iii) the European Revolving Lenders shall assign, purchase and sell, as applicable, from each other, European Revolving Credit Advances to the extent necessary to provide that after giving effect thereto, each European Revolving Lender shall have funded its Pro Rata Share of the then outstanding European Revolving Credit Advances and (iv) each European Revolving Lender shall be deemed to purchase or sell participations in the then outstanding European Letters of Credit to the extent necessary to provide that each European Revolving Lender owns its Pro Rata Share of participations in the then outstanding European Letters of Credit.

(f) US Letters of Credit. The US Revolving Loan Commitment may, in addition to advances under the US Revolving Loan (including US Swing Line Advances), be utilized, upon the request of US Borrower Representative on behalf of TPI, for the issuance or continuation of US Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance or continuation by a US L/C Issuer of a US Letter of Credit, and without further action on the part of Administrative Agent or any of the US Lenders, each US Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from such US L/C Issuer a participation in such US Letter of Credit (or in its obligation under a risk participation agreement with respect thereto) equal to such US Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such US Letter of Credit. US Letters of Credit outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall remain outstanding and shall be governed hereby.

(i) US L/C Sublimit. The aggregate amount of US Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to all US Letters of Credit outstanding at any time shall not exceed $5,000,000 (“US L/C Sublimit”).

(ii) Reimbursement. TPI shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated forthwith without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, to reimburse any US L/C Issuer on demand in immediately available funds for any amounts paid by such US L/C Issuer with respect to a US Letter of Credit, including all reimbursement payments, fees, charges, costs and expenses paid by such US L/C Issuer. TPI hereby authorizes and directs Administrative Agent, at Administrative Agent’s option, to debit TPI’s account (by increasing the outstanding principal balance of the US Revolving Credit Advances) in the amount of any payment made by a US L/C Issuer with respect to any US Letter of Credit. All amounts paid by a US L/C Issuer with respect to any US Letter of Credit that are not repaid as provided in the first sentence hereof by TPI with the proceeds of a US Revolving Credit Advance or otherwise shall bear interest at the interest rate applicable to the portions of the US Revolving Loan which are Index Rate Loans plus, at the election of Administrative Agent or Requisite Lenders, an additional two percent (2.00%) per annum. Each US Revolving Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of any US Revolving Loan made pursuant to this Section 1.1(f)(ii). In the event Administrative Agent elects not to debit TPI’s account and TPI fails to reimburse the US L/C Issuer in full on the date of any payment in respect of a US Letter of Credit, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each US Revolving Lender of the amount of such unreimbursed payment and the accrued interest thereon and each US Revolving Lender, on the next Business

Day prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York time), shall deliver to Administrative Agent an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share thereof in same day funds. Each US Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the US L/C Issuer upon demand by the US L/C Issuer such US Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each payment made by the US L/C Issuer in respect of a US Letter of Credit and not immediately reimbursed TPI or satisfied through a debit of TPI’s account. Each US Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligations pursuant to this subsection in respect of US Letters of Credit are absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including setoff, counterclaim, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or any failure by TPI to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2. If any US Revolving Lender fails to make available to the US L/C Issuer the amount of such US Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any payments made by the US L/C Issuer in respect of a US Letter of Credit as provided in this Section 1.1(f)(ii), the US L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such US Revolving Lender together with interest at the Index Rate.

(iii) Request for US Letters of Credit. US Borrower Representative shall give Administrative Agent at least two (2) Business Days prior written notice specifying the date a US Letter of Credit is requested to be issued, the amount and the name and address of the beneficiary and a description of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby in the form set forth as Exhibit 1.1(f)(iii). If Administrative Agent informs US Borrower Representative that the US L/C Issuer cannot issue the requested US Letter of Credit directly, US Borrower Representative may request that US L/C Issuer arrange for the issuance of the requested US Letter of Credit under a risk participation agreement with another financial institution reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, US L/C Issuer and US Borrower Representative. The issuance of any US Letter of Credit under this Agreement shall be subject to the conditions that the US Letter of Credit (i) supports a transaction entered into in the ordinary course of business of US Borrowers and (ii) is in a form and contains such terms and conditions as are reasonably satisfactory to the US L/C Issuer and, in the case of standby letters of credit, Administrative Agent. The initial notice requesting the issuance of a US Letter of Credit shall be accompanied by the form of the US Letter of Credit and the Master Standby Agreement or Master Documentary Agreement, as applicable, and an application for a letter of credit, if any, then required by the US L/C Issuer completed in a manner satisfactory to such US L/C Issuer. If any provision of any application or reimbursement agreement is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, then the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent of such inconsistency, shall control.

(iv) Expiration Dates of US Letters of Credit. The expiration date of each US Letter of Credit shall be on a date which is not later than the earlier of (a) one year from its date of issuance or (b) the fifteenth (15^th) day prior to the date set forth to in clause (a) of the definition of the term Commitment Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a US Letter of Credit may provide for automatic extensions of its expiration date for one (1) or more successive one (1) year periods; provided that the US L/C Issuer has the right to terminate such US Letter of Credit on each such annual expiration date and no renewal term may extend the term of the US Letter of Credit to a date that is later than the fifteenth (15^th) day prior to the date set forth in clause (a) of the definition of the term Commitment Termination Date. The US L/C Issuer may elect not to renew any such US Letter of Credit and, upon direction by Administrative Agent or Requisite Lenders, shall not renew any such US Letter of Credit at any

time during the continuance of an Event of Default; provided that in the case of a direction by Administrative Agent or Requisite Lenders, the US L/C Issuer receives such directions prior to the date notice of non-renewal is required to be given by the US L/C Issuer and the US L/C Issuer has had a reasonable period of time to act on such notice.

(v) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of TPI to reimburse the US L/C Issuer, Administrative Agent and US Revolving Lenders for payments made in respect of US Letters of Credit issued by the US L/C Issuer shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid under all circumstances strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the following circumstances: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any US Letter of Credit; (b) any amendment or waiver of or any consent or departure from all or any of the provisions of any US Letter of Credit or any Loan Document; (c) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which TPI, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any other Person may at any time have against any beneficiary of any US Letter of Credit, any Agent, any US L/C Issuer, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreements or transactions; (d) any draft or other document presented under any US Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (e) payment under any US Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not substantially comply with the terms of such US Letter of Credit; or (f) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of any US L/C Issuer, any Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section 1.1(f)(v), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of TPI’s obligations hereunder.

(vi) Obligations of US L/C Issuers. Each US L/C Issuer (other than GE Capital) hereby agrees that it will not issue a US Letter of Credit hereunder until it has provided Administrative Agent with written notice specifying the amount and intended issuance date of such US Letter of Credit and Administrative Agent has returned a written acknowledgment of such notice to US L/C Issuer. Each US L/C Issuer (other than GE Capital) further agrees to provide to Administrative Agent: (a) a copy of each US Letter of Credit issued by such US L/C Issuer promptly after its issuance; (b) a quarterly report summarizing available amounts under US Letters of Credit issued by such US L/C Issuer, the dates and amounts of any draws under such US Letters of Credit, the effective date of any increase or decrease in the face amount of any US Letters of Credit during such quarter and the amount of any unreimbursed draws under such US Letters of Credit; and (d) such additional information reasonably requested by Administrative Agent from time to time with respect to the US Letters of Credit issued by such US L/C Issuer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed by US Borrowers that the absolute and unconditional obligation of US Borrowers to Administrative Agent and US Lenders hereunder to reimburse payments made under a US Letter of Credit will not be excused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the US L/C Issuer. However, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse a US L/C Issuer from liability to US Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, with US Borrowers hereby waiving all claims for any consequential damages to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by US Borrowers that are subject to indemnification under the Master Standby Agreement or the Master Documentary Agreement.

(g) European Letters of Credit. The European Revolving Loan Commitment may, in addition to advances under the European Revolving Loan, be utilized, upon the request of European Borrower, for the issuance of European Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance by a European L/C Issuer of a European Letter of Credit or on the Closing Date in the case of European Letters of Credit outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement, and without further action on the part of European Loan Agent, European Funding Agent or any of the European Lenders, each European Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from such European L/C Issuer a participation in such European Letter of Credit (or in its obligation under a risk participation agreement with respect thereto) equal to such European Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such European Letter of Credit. European Letters of Credit outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall remain outstanding and shall be governed hereby.

(i) European L/C Sublimit. The aggregate amount of European Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to all European Letters of Credit outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Equivalent Amount of $10,000,000 (“European L/C Sublimit”).

(ii) Reimbursement. European Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated forthwith without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, to reimburse any European L/C Issuer on demand in immediately available funds for any amounts paid by such European L/C Issuer with respect to a European Letter of Credit, including all reimbursement payments, fees, charges, costs and expenses paid by such European L/C Issuer. European Borrower hereby authorizes and directs European Loan Agent, at European Loan Agent’s option, to debit European Borrower’s account (by increasing the outstanding principal balance of the European Revolving Credit Advances) in the amount of any payment made by a European L/C Issuer with respect to any European Letter of Credit. All amounts paid by a European L/C Issuer with respect to any European Letter of Credit that are not repaid as provided in the first sentence hereof by European Borrower with the proceeds of a European Revolving Credit Advance or otherwise shall bear interest at the interest rate applicable to the European Revolving Loan plus, at the election of Administrative Agent or Requisite Lenders, an additional two percent (2.00%) per annum. Each European Revolving Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of any European Revolving Loan made pursuant to this Section 1.1(g)(ii). In the event European Loan Agent elects not to instruct European Funding Agent to debit European Borrower’s account and European Borrower fails to reimburse the European L/C Issuer in full on the date of any payment in respect of a European Letter of Credit, European Loan Agent shall promptly notify each European Revolving Lender of the amount of such unreimbursed payment and the accrued interest thereon and each European Revolving Lender, on the next Business Day prior to 3:00 p.m. (Local Time), shall deliver to European Funding Agent an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share thereof in same day funds. Each European Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the European L/C Issuer upon demand by the European L/C Issuer such European Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each payment made by the European L/C Issuer in respect of a European Letter of Credit and not immediately reimbursed by European Borrower or satisfied through a debit of European Borrower account. Each European Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligations pursuant to this subsection in respect of European Letters of Credit are absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including setoff, counterclaim, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or any failure

by European Borrower to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2. If any European Revolving Lender fails to make available to the European L/C Issuer the amount of such European Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any payments made by the European L/C Issuer in respect of a European Letter of Credit as provided in this Section 1.1(g)(ii), the European L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such European Revolving Lender together with interest at the LIBOR Rate with an LIBOR Period of one month.

(iii) Request for European Letters of Credit. European Borrower shall give European Loan Agent, European Funding Agent and European L/C Issuer at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice specifying the date a European Letter of Credit is requested to be issued, the amount and the name and address of the beneficiary and a description of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby in the form set forth as Exhibit 1.1(g)(iii). If European Loan Agent informs European Borrower that the European L/C Issuer cannot issue the requested European Letter of Credit directly, European Borrower may request that European L/C Issuer arrange for the issuance of the requested European Letter of Credit under a risk participation agreement with another financial institution reasonably acceptable to European Loan Agent, European L/C Issuer and European Borrower. The issuance of any European Letter of Credit under this Agreement shall be subject to the conditions that the European Letter of Credit (i) supports a transaction entered into in the ordinary course of business of European Borrower and (ii) is in a form and contains such terms and conditions as are reasonably satisfactory to the European L/C Issuer and, in the case of standby letters of credit, European Loan Agent. The initial notice requesting the issuance of a European Letter of Credit shall be accompanied by the form of the European Letter of Credit and an application for a letter of credit, if any, then required by the European L/C Issuer completed in a manner satisfactory to such European L/C Issuer and European Loan Agent. If any provision of any application or reimbursement agreement is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, then the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent of such inconsistency, shall control.

(iv) Expiration Dates of European Letters of Credit. The expiration date of each European Letter of Credit shall be on a date which is not later than the earlier of (a) one year from its date of issuance or (b) the fifteenth (15^th) day prior to the date set forth in clause (a) of the definition of the term Commitment Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a European Letter of Credit may provide for automatic extensions of its expiration date for one (1) or more successive one (1) year periods; provided that the European L/C Issuer has the right to terminate such European Letter of Credit on each such annual expiration date and no renewal term may extend the term of the European Letter of Credit to a date that is later than the fifteenth (15^th) day prior to the date set forth in clause (a) of the definition of the term Commitment Termination Date. The European L/C Issuer may elect not to renew any such European Letter of Credit and, upon direction by Administrative Agent, European Loan Agent or Requisite Lenders, shall not renew any such European Letter of Credit at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default; provided that in the case of a direction by Administrative Agent, European Loan Agent or Requisite Lenders, the European L/C Issuer receives such directions prior to the date notice of non-renewal is required to be given by the European L/C Issuer and the European L/C Issuer has had a reasonable period of time to act on such notice.

(v) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of European Borrower to reimburse the European L/C Issuer, European Loan Agent, European Funding Agent and

European Revolving Lenders for payments made in respect of European Letters of Credit issued by the European L/C Issuer shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid under all circumstances strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the following circumstances: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any European Letter of Credit; (b) any amendment or waiver of or any consent or departure from all or any of the provisions of any European Letter of Credit or any Loan Document; (c) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which European Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any other Person may at any time have against any beneficiary of any European Letter of Credit, any Agent, any European L/C Issuer, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreements or transactions; (d) any draft or other document presented under any European Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (e) payment under any European Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not substantially comply with the terms of such European Letter of Credit; or (f) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of any European L/C Issuer, any Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section 1.1(g)(v), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of European Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

(vi) Obligations of European L/C Issuers. Each European L/C Issuer hereby agrees that it will not issue a European Letter of Credit hereunder until it has provided European Loan Agent with written notice specifying the amount and intended issuance date of such European Letter of Credit and European Loan Agent has returned a written acknowledgment of such notice to European L/C Issuer.

The Applicable Margins will be as follows:

Applicable Revolver Index Margin	.50	%
Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin	2.25	%
Applicable Term Loan A Index Margin	.50	%
Applicable Term Loan A LIBOR Margin	2.25	%
Applicable Term Loan B Index Margin	.50	%
Applicable Term Loan B LIBOR Margin	2.25	%

With respect to the Revolving Loans and the US Term Loan A, the Applicable Margins shall be adjusted (up or down) prospectively on a quarterly basis as determined by Ultimate Holdco’s and its Subsidiaries’ consolidated financial performance, commencing with the third (3^rd) Business Day following the date of the delivery of Ultimate Holdco’s audited Financial Statements to Lenders for the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2004. Adjustments in the Applicable Margins will be determined by reference to the following grids:


If Leverage Ratio is:		Level of Applicable Margins:
> 2.75		Level I
< 2.75, but > 2.00		Level II
< 2.00		Level III


Applicable Margins	Level I		Level II		Level III
Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin	2.50	%	2.25	%	2.00	%
Applicable Term A Loan LIBOR Margin	2.50	%	2.25	%	2.00	%
Applicable Revolver Index Margin	.75	%	.50	%	.25	%
Applicable Term A Loan Index Margin	.75	%	.50	%	.25	%

All adjustments in the foregoing Applicable Margins after December 31, 2004 shall be implemented quarterly on a prospective basis, commencing on the third (3^rd) Business Day following the date of delivery to Lenders of the quarterly unaudited Financial Statements evidencing the need for an adjustment. Concurrently with the delivery of those Financial Statements, the US Borrower Representative shall deliver to Authorized Agents a certificate, signed by its chief financial officer, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the continuance of, or any change in, the Applicable Margins. Failure to deliver such Financial Statements within 2 Business Days after the day required for such delivery pursuant to Section 4.4(a) shall, in addition to any other remedy provided for in this Agreement, result in an increase in the Applicable Margins to the highest level set forth in the foregoing grid, until the sixth Business Day following the delivery of those Financial Statements demonstrating that such an increase is not required. If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time any reduction in the Applicable Margins is to be implemented, that reduction shall be deferred until the third (3^rd) Business Day following the date on which all Events of Default are waived or cured. If the Applicable Margins have been adjusted downward based upon Ultimate Holdco’s unaudited quarterly Financial Statements for any Fiscal Quarter and it is later determined by Administrative Agent based upon Ultimate Holdco’s audited Financial Statements for the Fiscal Year in which such Fiscal Quarter occurs that (i) such unaudited quarterly Financial Statements for such Fiscal Quarter have been adjusted in connection with the preparation of such audited Financial Statement (the “Adjusted Quarterly Financial Statements”), and (ii) such downward adjustment in the Applicable Margins would not have been made had the Adjusted Quarterly Financial Statements been used to so adjust the Applicable Margins, then each Borrower shall pay to Appropriate Agent, for the account of the Lenders, within five (5) Business Days of such determination, such additional interest on the Loans that would have been payable hereunder had the Applicable Margin been adjusted (or not adjusted) on the basis of the Adjusted Quarterly Financial Statements.

(b) If any payment on any Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof will be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (except as set forth in the definition of LIBOR Period) and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(c) All computations of Fees calculated on a per annum basis and interest at the LIBOR Rate and the N Bor Rate shall be made by Appropriate Agent on the basis of a 360-day year (or a 365-day year, in the case of Loans denominated in British pounds (or any other Alternative Currency where market practice so requires)), in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such Fees and interest are payable. All computations of interest at the Index Rate shall be made by Administrative Agent on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as applicable. The Index Rate is a floating rate determined for each day. Each determination by Appropriate Agent of an interest rate and Fees hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive on Borrowers, absent manifest error.

(d) (i) So long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under Section 6.1(f) or (g) and without notice of any kind, or (ii) so long as any other Event of Default under Section 6.1(a) or under Section 6.1(c) (in the latter case, as of a result of a breach of any of Sections 4.1 through 4.3) has occurred and is continuing and at the election of Administrative Agent (or upon the written request of Requisite Lenders) confirmed by written notice from Administrative Agent to each Borrower Representative (with a copy to European Loan Agent, European Funding Agent and European Working Capital Loan Agent), the interest rates applicable to the Loans and the Letter of Credit Fees shall be increased by two percentage points (2%) per annum above the rates of interest or the rate of such Fees otherwise applicable hereunder (“Default Rate”), and all outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate applicable to such Obligations. Interest and Letter of Credit Fees at the Default Rate shall accrue (i) from the initial date of such Event of Default in the case of an Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing under Section 6.1(f) or (g) and (ii) from the date of such notice of election, in the case of an Event of Default under Section 6.1(a) or under Section 6.1(c) (in the latter case, as a result of a breach of any of Sections 4.1 through 4.3), and in each case shall continue to accrue until that Event of Default is cured or waived and shall be payable upon demand, but in any event, shall be payable on the next regularly scheduled payment date set forth herein for such Obligation.

(e) US Borrower Representative shall have the option to (1) convert at any time all or any part of outstanding US Revolving Credit Advances (other than the Swing Line Loan) and US Term Loans from Index Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans, (2) convert all or any part of outstanding US Revolving Credit Advances (other than the Swing Line Loan) and US Term Loans from LIBOR Loans to Index Rate Loans, subject to payment of the LIBOR Breakage Fee in accordance with Section 1.3(e) if such conversion is made prior to the expiration of the LIBOR Period applicable thereto, or (3) continue all or any portion of any US Revolving Credit Advances (other than the Swing Line Loan) and US Term Loans as an LIBOR Loan upon the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Period and the succeeding LIBOR Period of that continued Loan shall commence on the first day after the last day of the LIBOR Period of the Loan to be continued. European Borrower shall have the option to continue all or any portion of any European Revolving Credit Advances and European Term Loan A as an LIBOR Loan upon the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Period and the succeeding LIBOR Period of that continued Loan shall commence on the first day after the last day of the LIBOR Period of the Loan to be continued. Any Loan or group of Loans having the same proposed LIBOR Period to be made or continued as, or converted into, an LIBOR Loan must be in a minimum amount of $500,000 (or the Equivalent Amount in an Alternative Currency) and integral multiples of $100,000 (or the Equivalent Amount in an Alternative Currency) in excess of such amount. Any such election

must be made by 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the 3^rd Business Day prior to (1) the date of any proposed Revolving Credit Advance which is to bear interest at the LIBOR Rate, (2) the end of each LIBOR Period with respect to any LIBOR Loans to be continued as such, or (3) the date on which US Borrower Representative wishes to convert any Index Rate Loan to an LIBOR Loan for an LIBOR Period designated by US Borrower Representative in such election. If no election is received with respect to all or any portion of any US Revolving Credit Advances or the US Term Loans that are an LIBOR Loan by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the 3rd Business Day prior to the end of the LIBOR Period with respect thereto, that LIBOR Loan shall be converted to an Index Rate Loan at the end of its LIBOR Period. If no election is received with respect to all or any portion of any European Revolving Credit Advances or the European Term Loan A that is an LIBOR Loan by 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the 3^rd Business Day prior to the end of the LIBOR Period with respect thereto, that LIBOR Loan shall be converted to an LIBOR Loan having an LIBOR Period of one month at the end of its LIBOR Period. US Borrower Representative must make such election by notice to Administrative Agent in writing, by fax or overnight courier. European Borrower must make such election by notice to European Funding Agent in writing, by fax or overnight courier. In the case of any conversion or continuation, such election must be made pursuant to a written notice (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) in the form of Exhibit 1.2(e). No US Revolving Credit Advance or US Term Loan shall be made, converted into or continued as an LIBOR Loan, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Administrative Agent or Requisite Lenders have determined not to make, convert or continue any such Loan as an LIBOR Loan as a result thereof.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 1.2(f) with respect to the US Revolving Loan and the US Term Loan, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final order that the rate of interest payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable hereunder shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Borrowers shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest rate payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Thereafter, interest hereunder shall be paid at the rate(s) of interest and in the manner provided in Sections 1.2(a) through (e), unless and until the rate of interest again exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, and at that time this paragraph shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by any Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount that such Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If the Maximum Lawful Rate is calculated pursuant to this paragraph, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.2(f), a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine by a final, non-appealable order that a Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, Administrative Agent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, promptly apply such excess as specified in Section 1.5(c) and thereafter shall refund any excess to Borrowers or as such court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, TPUSA and DF may at any time on at least 3 Business Days’ prior written notice by Borrower Representative to Administrative Agent, European Funding Agent and the European Loan Agent voluntarily prepay all or part of each of the US Term Loans and the European Term Loan A; provided that any such reductions shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, in the aggregate, and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of such amount. TPI may at any time on at least 3 Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent permanently reduce (but not terminate) the US Revolving Loan Commitment; provided that (A) any such reductions shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of such amount, (B) the US Revolving Loan Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount less than $5,000,000, and (C) after giving effect to such reductions, TPI shall comply with Section 1.1(b)(i). European Borrower may at any time on at least 3 Business Days’ prior written notice by DF to the Administrative Agent, European Funding Agent and the European Loan Agent permanently reduce (but not terminate) the European Revolving Loan Commitment; provided that (A) any such prepayments shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of such amount, (B) the European Revolving Loan Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount less than $5,000,000, (C) after giving effect to such reductions, the European Borrower shall comply with Section 1.1(b)(ii), and (D) any such reduction shall require a pro rata reduction in the European Working Capital Loan Commitment. Subject to Section 1.1(e), European Borrower may at any time on at least 3 Business Days’ prior written notice by DF to the Administrative Agent, the European Loan Agent and the European Working Capital Loan Agent permanently reduce (but not terminate) the European Working Capital Loan Commitment; provided that (A) any such reduction shall be in a minimum amount

Any such voluntary prepayment of any Term Loan must be accompanied by the payment of any LIBOR Breakage Fees, if applicable. In addition, Borrowers may at any time on at least 5 Business Days’ prior written notice by the US Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent, European Funding Agent and the European Loan Agent terminate each of the US Revolving Loan Commitment, the European Revolving Loan Commitment and the European Working Capital Loan Commitment; provided that upon any such termination, all Loans and other Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full and all Letter of Credit Obligations shall be cash collateralized or otherwise satisfied in accordance with Section 6.3. Any such voluntary prepayment and any such reduction or termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments and the European Working Capital Loan Commitments must be accompanied by the payment of any LIBOR Breakage Fees, if applicable. Borrowers may voluntarily repay the Revolving Loans and the European Working Capital Loan (without any reduction or termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments) without prior written notice to any Agent. Upon any such termination of the US Revolving Loan Commitment, the European Revolving Loan Commitment and the European Working Capital Loan Commitment, each Borrower’s right to request US Revolving Credit Advances, European Revolving Credit Advances and European Working Capital Credit Advances, or request that Letter of Credit Obligations be incurred on its behalf, shall be terminated. Any partial prepayments of a Term Loan of any Borrower shall be applied pro rata against all remaining Scheduled Installments until prepaid in full. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or otherwise, no Credit Party shall, on or prior to August 26, 2005, directly or indirectly prepay or repay all or any portion of the Loans with the proceeds of one or more IRB Transactions or with the proceeds of one or more debt financings or equity transactions; provided, however, on or prior to August 26, 2005, one or more Credit Parties may directly or indirectly prepay or repay all or any portion of the Loans with the proceeds of one or more IRB Transactions or with the proceeds of one or more debt financings, as long as such prepayment or repayment is accompanied by the payment of the applicable Refinancing Premium; provided, additionally, that the Credit Parties may directly or indirectly prepay or repay Revolving Loans in an aggregate principal amount after the date hereof with the proceeds of one or more IRB Transactions not to exceed the Equivalent Amount of $1,000,000 (and no Refinancing Premium shall be payable as a result of any such payment or prepayments). Nothing in the immediately preceding sentence shall effect the obligation or ability of any Credit Party to prepay the Loans as a result of any scheduled payment or mandatory prepayment provisions set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 1.5 (or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement).

(b) Prepayments from Net Proceeds.

(i) Immediately upon receipt by any US Credit Party of any Net Proceeds in excess of $5,000,000 during any Fiscal Year, Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to all such Net Proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, US Credit Parties may reinvest all such Net Proceeds in productive replacement fixed assets of a kind then used or usable in the business of Borrowers. If US Credit Parties do not intend to so reinvest such Net

Proceeds or if such Net Proceeds are of the type referred to in clause (a)(ii) of the definition thereof, Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds or, to the extent that a portion of such Net Proceeds have been reinvested, the remainder of such Net Proceeds. Any such prepayment shall be made by the applicable Borrower and applied in accordance with Section l.5(c).

(ii) Immediately upon receipt by any European Credit Party of Net Proceeds (other than from the sale of the German Property) in excess of $5,000,000 (or the Equivalent Amount in an Alternative Currency) during any Fiscal Year, Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to all such Net Proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, European Credit Parties may reinvest all such Net Proceeds (other than from the sale of the German Property) in productive replacement fixed assets of a kind then used or usable in the business of Borrowers. If European Credit Parties do not intend to so reinvest such Net Proceeds or if such Net Proceeds are of the type referred to in clause (ii) of the definition thereof, Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds or, to the extent that a portion of such Net Proceeds have been reinvested, the remainder of such Net Proceeds. Any such prepayment shall be made by the applicable Borrower and applied in accordance with Section 1.5(c); provided, that upon receipt by any European Credit Party of Net Proceeds from the sale of the German Property during any Fiscal Year, European Borrower shall prepay pro rata the remaining Scheduled Installments of the European Term Loan A.

(c) Application of Proceeds. Any prepayments pursuant to Section 1.5(b), shall be made by the applicable Borrowers and applied as follows: (i) with respect to Net Proceeds or proceeds of business interruption insurance received by any European Credit Party, first, to prepay pro rata the remaining Scheduled Installments of the European Term Loan A until prepaid in full; and second, to prepay the principal balance of the European Revolving Credit Advances and European Working Capital Credit Advances, pro rata until the same have been paid in full, and (ii) with respect to proceeds of business interruption insurance allocated to any US Borrower or Net Proceeds received by any US Credit Party, first, to prepay pro rata the remaining Scheduled Installments of each of the US Term Loans until prepaid in full; second, to prepay pro rata the remaining Scheduled Installments of the European Term Loan A until prepaid in full; third to prepay the principal balance of the US Revolving Credit Advances until paid in full; and last, to prepay the European Revolving Credit Advances and European Working Capital Credit Advances, pro rata until the same have been paid in full. None of the Revolving Loan Commitments or European Working Capital Loan Commitments shall be permanently reduced by the amount of any such prepayments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the US Term B Lenders may, in the event of a prepayment pursuant to Sections 1.5(b), waive the application of any such prepayment to the outstanding principal amount of the US Term Loan B under this Section 1.5(c) by providing written notice of such waiver to Administrative Agent (duly executed by such US Term B Lender) prior to the application by Administrative Agent of such prepayment, in which case the amount of such prepayment intended to prepay US Term Loan B shall be applied to prepay pro rata the remaining Scheduled Installments of US Term Loan A.

1.6 Maturity. All of the Obligations shall become due and payable as otherwise set forth herein, but in any event all of the remaining Obligations shall become due and payable upon termination of this Agreement. Until the Termination Date, Authorized Agents shall be

entitled to retain the security interests in the Collateral granted under the Collateral Documents and the ability to exercise all rights and remedies available to them under the Loan Documents and applicable laws. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, upon any termination of the US Revolving Loan Commitment or the European Revolving Loan Commitment, all of the Obligations shall be due and payable except for the US Term Loan B which shall be due and payable on June 30, 2009 or earlier pursuant to Section 6.3.

1.7 Loan Accounts. Each Appropriate Agent shall maintain a loan account (each, a “Loan Account”) on its books to record: all Advances and the Term Loan for which it is Agent, all payments made by Borrowers, and all other debits and credits as provided in this Agreement with respect to the Loans or any other Obligations. All entries in the Loan Accounts shall be made in accordance with Appropriate Agent’s customary accounting practices as in effect from time to time. The balance in the applicable Loan Account, as recorded on Appropriate Agent’s most recent printout or other written statement, shall, absent manifest error, be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to Agents and Lenders by Borrowers; provided that any failure to so record or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect any Borrower’s duty to pay the Obligations. Each Appropriate Agent shall render to Appropriate Borrower Representative a monthly accounting of transactions with respect to the Loans setting forth the balance of the Loan Account as to each Borrower for the immediately preceding month. Unless Appropriate Borrower Representative notifies Appropriate Agent and Administrative Agent, if different, in writing of any objection to any such accounting (specifically describing the basis for such objection), within thirty (30) days after the date thereof, each and every such accounting shall, absent manifest error, be deemed final, binding and conclusive on Borrowers in all respects as to all matters reflected therein. Only those items expressly objected to in such notice shall be deemed to be disputed by Borrowers. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, any Lender may elect (which election may be revoked) to dispense with the issuance of Notes to that Lender and may rely on the applicable Loan Account as evidence of the amount of Obligations from time to time owing to it.

1.8 Yield Protection; Illegality.

(a) Capital Adequacy and Other Adjustments. In the event that any Lender shall have determined that the adoption after the Closing Date of any law, treaty, governmental (or quasi-governmental) rule, regulation, guideline or order regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements or compliance by any Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) from any central bank or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction does or shall have the effect of increasing the amount of capital, reserves or other funds required to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and thereby reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, then Borrowers shall from time to time within fifteen (15) days after notice and demand from such Lender (together with the certificate referred to in the next sentence and with a copy to Appropriate Agent) pay to Appropriate Agent, for the account of such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction. A certificate as to the amount of such cost and showing the basis of the

computation of such cost submitted by such Lender to Appropriate Borrower Representative and Appropriate Agent shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

(b) Increased LIBOR Funding Costs; Illegality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the introduction of or any change in any law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive (or any change in the interpretation thereof) shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to agree to make or to continue to fund or maintain any LIBOR Loan, then, unless that Lender is able to make or to continue to fund or to maintain such LIBOR Loan at another branch or office of that Lender without, in that Lender’s reasonable opinion, adversely affecting it or its Loans or the income obtained therefrom, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to Appropriate Borrower Representative through Appropriate Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to agree to make or to continue to fund or maintain LIBOR Loans shall terminate, (ii) each US Borrower shall forthwith prepay in full all outstanding LIBOR Loans owing by such US Borrower to such Lender, together with interest accrued thereon, unless with respect to US Revolving Credit Advances and US Term Loans that are LIBOR Loans, US Borrower Representative on behalf of such US Borrower, within five (5) Business Days after the delivery of such notice and demand, converts all LIBOR Loans into Index Rate Loans, and (iii) European Borrower shall forthwith prepay in full all outstanding LIBOR Loans owing by European Borrower to such Lender, together with interest accrued thereon. If, after the Closing Date, the introduction of, change in or interpretation of any law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive would impose or increase reserve requirements (other than as taken into account in the definition of LIBOR) or otherwise increase the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining an LIBOR Loan, then US Borrowers or European Borrower, as applicable, shall from time to time within twenty (20) days after notice and demand from Appropriate Agent to Appropriate Borrower Representative (together with the certificate referred to in the next sentence) pay to Appropriate Agent, for the account of all such affected Lenders, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lenders for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such cost and showing the basis of the computation of such cost submitted by Appropriate Agent on behalf of all such affected Lenders to Appropriate Borrower Representative shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

(c) Each Lender shall notify Appropriate Borrower Representative of any event that will entitle such Lender to compensation under this Section 1.8 as promptly as practicable, but in any event within 120 days after such Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that (i) if any Lender fails to give such notice within 120 days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Lender shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section 1.8 in respect of any Costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment under this Section 1.8 for amounts or losses incurred from and after the date 120 days prior to the date that such Lender does give such notice.

1.9 Taxes.

(a) No Deductions. Any and all payments or reimbursements made hereunder or under the Notes shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all charges, taxes, levies, imposts, deductions or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, excluding such taxes to the extent imposed

on an Agent’s or a Lender’s net income by the jurisdiction in which such Agent or such Lender is organized. If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any such amounts from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or any Agent, then the sum payable hereunder shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions, such Lender or such Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

(b) Changes in Tax Laws. In the event that, subsequent to the Closing Date, (1) any changes in any existing law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof, (2) any new law, regulation, treaty or directive enacted or any interpretation or application thereof, or (3) compliance by any Agent or any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority:

(i) does or shall subject any Agent or any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Agent or such Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for net income taxes, or franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, imposed generally by federal, state or local taxing authorities with respect to interest or commitment fees or other fees or Fees payable hereunder or changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Agent or such Lender); or

(ii) does or shall impose on any Agent or any Lender any other condition or increased cost in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or participations herein;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any such Agent or any such Lender of issuing any Letter of Credit or making or continuing any Loan hereunder, as the case may be, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, Borrowers shall promptly pay to such Agent or such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Agent or such Lender, on an after-tax basis, for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable, as determined by such Agent or such Lender with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If such Agent or such Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 1.9(b), it shall promptly notify Appropriate Borrower Representative of the event by reason of which such Agent or such Lender has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by such Agent or such Lender to Appropriate Borrower Representative (with a copy to Appropriate Agent) shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

(c) Foreign Lenders. Each US Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States and each European Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of Denmark, shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each initial Lender hereunder, and on the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by a Borrower or the Appropriate Agent (but only so long thereafter as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), provide the Appropriate Agent and Appropriate Borrower Representative with: (i) in the case of such a US Lender, a properly

completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS of the United States certifying as to such US Lender’s entitlement an exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note, and (ii) in the case of any such European Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of Denmark, such valid and fully completed forms, as are required by the applicable tax authority of Denmark, indicating that such European Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the country within which European Borrower is resident is a party that reduces the rate of interest-withholding tax on payments under this Agreement or the Notes (each a “Certificate of Exemption”). No such Person may become a Lender hereunder if such Person fails to deliver a Certificate of Exemption in advance of becoming a Lender as provided above. In addition, each of the foregoing Lenders agrees that from time to time after the Closing Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous Certificate of Exemption obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it will deliver to the Appropriate Agent and the Appropriate Borrower Representative a new, accurate, complete and executed Certificate of Exemption and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from United States withholding tax or other interest-withholding tax, as applicable, with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note, or it shall promptly upon actual knowledge thereof notify the Appropriate Agent and the Appropriate Borrower Representative of its inability to deliver any such Certificate of Exemption. No Borrower shall be required to indemnify any Lender, or pay any additional amounts to any Lender, in respect of United States withholding tax or Danish withholding tax, as applicable, pursuant to Section 1.9(a) to the extent that (y) the obligation to withhold such amounts existed on the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement; provided however, that this clause (y) shall not apply to the extent that (I) the indemnity payments or additional amounts any Lender would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (y)) do not exceed the indemnity payments or additional amounts that the Person making the assignment or transfer to such Lender would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment or transfer, or (II) such assignment or transfer had been requested by any Borrower, or (z) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender to comply with the provisions of this Section 1.9(c).

(d) Each Lender shall notify Appropriate Borrower Representative of any event that will entitle such Lender to compensation under this Section 1.9 as promptly as practicable, but in any event within 120 days after such Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof; provided however, that (i) if any Lender fails to give such notice within 120 days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Lender shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section 1.9 in respect of any costs result from such event, only be entitled to payment under this Section 1.9 for amounts or losses incurred from and after the date 120 days prior to the date that such Lender does give such notice.

1.10 Limitations on Obligations of European Credit Parties. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, other than as may be required under Section 2.7(d), no European Credit Party shall at any time be liable for any portion of the principal of the US Term Loans or US Revolving Loan or any interest thereon or Fees payable with respect thereto (and the US Credit Parties are liable for such Obligations), and no assets of any European Credit Party shall at any time serve, directly or indirectly, as security

for any portion of the principal of the US Term Loans or US Revolving Loan or any interest thereon or any Fees payable with respect thereto.

1.11 Borrower Representatives. Each US Borrower hereby designates TPI as its representative and agent on its behalf for the purposes of issuing any Notice of US Revolving Credit Advances and Notice of Conversion/Continuation, giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans, selecting interest rate options, requesting Letters of Credit, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any US Borrower or US Borrowers under the Loan Documents. US Borrower Representative hereby accepts such appointment. Each Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from any Appropriate Borrower Representative as a notice or communication from all applicable Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees that each warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by Appropriate Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as it if the same had been made directly by such Borrower.

1.12 Single Loan. All Loans to each US Borrower and all of the other Obligations of each US Borrower arising under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its obligations as a Guarantor, shall constitute one general obligation of that US Borrower secured, until the Termination Date, by the Collateral pledged by the US Credit Parties to secure such Obligations pursuant to the Collateral Documents (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.7(d), pursuant to the Collateral Documents only 65% of the Stock of DF is pledged to secure such Obligations). All Loans to European Borrower and all of the other Obligations of European Borrower arising under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall constitute one general obligation of that European Borrower secured, until the Termination Date, by all of the Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Documents.

SECTION 2.

AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

Each Credit Party executing this Agreement jointly and severally agrees as to all Credit Parties that from and after the date hereof and until the Termination Date:

2.1 Compliance With Laws and Contractual Obligations. Each Credit Party will (a) comply with and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply with (i) the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, Charges, laws, rules, regulations and orders relating to taxes, employer and employee contributions, securities, employee retirement and welfare benefits, environmental protection matters and employee health and safety) as now in effect and which may be imposed in the future in all jurisdictions in which any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries is now doing business or may hereafter be doing business and (ii) the obligations, covenants and conditions contained in all Contractual Obligations of such Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries other than those laws, rules, regulations, orders and provisions of such Contractual Obligations the noncompliance with which could not be reasonably expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and (b) maintain or obtain and shall cause each of its

Subsidiaries to maintain or obtain all licenses, qualifications and permits now held or hereafter required to be held by such Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, for which the loss, suspension, revocation or failure to obtain or renew, could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. This Section 2.1 shall not preclude any Credit Party or its Subsidiaries from contesting any taxes or other payments, if they are being diligently contested in good faith in a manner which stays enforcement thereof and if appropriate expense provisions have been recorded in conformity with GAAP. Each Credit Party represents and warrants that it (i) is in compliance and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority and the obligations, covenants and conditions contained in all Contractual Obligations other than those laws, rules, regulations, orders and provisions of such Contractual Obligations the noncompliance with which could not be reasonably expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) maintains and each of its Subsidiaries maintains all licenses, qualifications and permits referred to above, except where the failure to do so could not be reasonably expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

2.2 Maintenance of Properties; Insurance. Each Credit Party will maintain or cause to be maintained in good repair, working order and condition all material properties used in the business of such Credit Party and its Subsidiaries and will make or cause to be made all appropriate repairs, renewals and replacements thereof. Each Credit Party will maintain or cause to be maintained, with financially sound and reputable insurers, public liability and property damage insurance with respect to its business and properties and the business and properties of its Subsidiaries against loss or damage of the kinds customarily carried or maintained by corporations of established reputation engaged in similar businesses and in amounts acceptable to Administrative Agent and will deliver evidence thereof to Administrative Agent. Each European Credit Party will maintain business interruption insurance providing coverage for a period of at least six (6) months and in an amount not less than $12,000,000, and each US Credit Party will maintain business interruption insurance providing coverage for a period of at least six (6) months and in an amount not less than $11,000,000. Each Credit Party shall cause Administrative Agent (or with respect to any European Credit Party, the European Security Agent), pursuant to endorsements and/or assignments in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Agent, to be named as lender’s loss payee in the case of casualty insurance, additional insured in the case of all liability insurance and assignee in the case of all business interruption insurance, in each case for the benefit of Agents and Lenders. Each Credit Party represents and warrants that it and each of its Subsidiaries currently maintains all material properties as set forth above and maintains all insurance described above. In the event any Credit Party fails to provide Administrative Agent with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement, Administrative Agent (or with respect to any European Credit Party, the European Loan Agent, the European Working Capital Loan Agent or the European Security Agent) may purchase such insurance at such Credit Party’s expense to protect such Agent’s interest in the Collateral. This insurance may, but need not, protect such Credit Party’s interests. The coverage purchased by any Agent may not pay any claim made by such Credit Party or any claim that is made against such Credit Party in connection with the Collateral. Such Credit Party may later cancel any insurance purchased by any Agent, but only after providing such Agent with evidence that such Credit Party has obtained insurance as required by this Agreement. If any Agent purchases insurance for the Collateral, such Credit Party will be responsible for the

costs of that insurance, including interest and other Charges imposed by such Agent in connection with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to the Obligations, as provided in Section l.4(d). The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance such Credit Party is able to obtain on its own.

2.3 Inspection; Lender Meeting. Each Credit Party shall permit any authorized representatives of the Administrative Agent, the European Loan Agent, the European Working Capital Loan Agent and the European Security Agent (the “Authorized Agents”) to visit, audit and inspect any of the properties of such Credit Party and its Subsidiaries, including its and their financial and accounting records, and to make copies and take extracts therefrom, and to discuss its and their affairs, finances and business with its and their officers and certified public accountants, (a) prior to the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no more than once each Fiscal Year (or more frequently as may be mutually agreed on by Administrative Agent and Borrower Representative), at such reasonable times during normal business hours, in each case, upon 2 Business Day’s prior notice, and (b) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice and as often as Administrative Agent determines to be appropriate. Representatives of each Lender will be permitted to accompany representatives of any Authorized Agent during each visit, inspection and discussion referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, each Credit Party will participate and will cause key management personnel of each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries to participate in a meeting with Authorized Agents and Lenders at least once during each year, which meeting shall be held at such time and such place as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent.

2.4 Organizational Existence. Except as otherwise permitted by Section 3.6, each Credit Party will and will cause its Subsidiaries to at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect its organizational existence and all rights and franchises material to its business.

2.5 Environmental Matters. Each Credit Party shall and shall cause each Person within its control to: (a) conduct its operations and keep and maintain its Real Estate in compliance with all Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits other than noncompliance that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (b) implement any and all investigation, remediation, removal and response actions that are required to comply with Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits pertaining to the presence, generation, treatment, storage, use, disposal, transportation or Release of any Hazardous Material on, at, in, under, above, to, from or about any of its Real Estate except where failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (c) notify each Agent promptly after such Credit Party or any Person within its control becomes aware of any violation of Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits or any Release on, at, in, under, above, to, from or about any Real Estate that is reasonably likely to result in Environmental Liabilities to a Credit Party or its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (d) promptly forward to Administrative Agent a copy of any order, notice, request for information or any communication or report received by such Credit Party or any Person within its control in connection with any such violation or Release or any other matter relating to any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits that could reasonably be expected to result in Environmental Liabilities which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse

Effect, in each case whether or not the Environmental Protection Agency or any Governmental Authority has taken or threatened any action in connection with any such violation, Release or other matter. If any Authorized Agent at any time has a reasonable basis to believe that there may be a violation of any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits by any Credit Party or any Person under its control or any Environmental Liability arising thereunder, or a Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, in, under, above, to, from or about any of its Real Estate, that, in each case, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, then each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries shall, upon such Agent’s written request (i) cause the performance of such environmental audits including subsurface sampling, of soil and groundwater, and preparation of such environmental reports, at Borrowers’ expense, as such Agent may from time to time reasonably request, which shall be conducted by reputable environmental consulting firms reasonably acceptable to such Agent and shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Agent, and (ii) permit each Agent or its representatives to have access to all Real Estate for the purpose of conducting such environmental audits and testing as Administrative Agent deems appropriate, including subsurface sampling of soil and groundwater.

6.2 Suspension or Termination of Commitments. Upon the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent may, and at the request of Requisite Lenders, Administrative Agent shall, without notice or demand, immediately suspend or terminate all or any portion of Lenders’ obligations to make additional Revolving Credit Advances or issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit under the Revolving Loan Commitments or European Working Capital Lender’s obligations to make additional European Working Capital Credit Advances; provided that if the subject condition or event is waived by Requisite Lenders or cured within any applicable grace or cure period, the Revolving Loan Commitments and European Working Capital Loan Commitments shall be reinstated.

6.3 Acceleration and other Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 6.1(f) or 6.1(e) the Commitments shall be immediately terminated and all of the Obligations, including the Revolving Loans and the European Working Capital Loans, shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration or other requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrowers, and the Commitments shall thereupon terminate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Requisite Lenders, Administrative Agent shall, by written notice to each Borrower Representative (a) reduce the aggregate amount of the Commitments from time to time, (b) declare all or any portion of the Loans and all or any portion of the other Obligations to be, and the same shall forthwith become, immediately due and payable together with accrued interest thereon, (c) terminate all or any portion of the obligations

US Borrowers hereby grant to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of US L/C Issuers and each Lender with a participation in any US Letters of Credit then outstanding, a security interest in such cash collateral to secure all of the US Letter of Credit Obligations. Any such cash collateral shall be made available by Administrative Agent to US L/C Issuers to reimburse US L/C Issuers for payments of drafts drawn under such US Letters of Credit and any Fees, Charges and expenses of US L/C Issuers with respect to such US Letters of Credit and the unused portion thereof, after all such US Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, shall be applied to repay any other Obligations. After all such US Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon and all Obligations shall have been satisfied and paid in full, the balance, if any, of such cash collateral shall be returned to US Borrowers. European Borrower hereby grants to European Security Agent, for the benefit of European L/C Issuers and each Lender with a participation in any European Letters of Credit then outstanding, a security interest in such cash collateral to secure all of the European Letter of Credit Obligations. Any such cash collateral shall be made available by European Security Agent to European L/C Issuers to reimburse European L/C Issuers for payments of drafts drawn under such European Letters of Credit and any Fees, Charges and expenses of European L/C Issuers with respect to such European Letters of Credit and the unused portion thereof, after all such European Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, shall be applied to repay any other Obligations of the European Credit Parties. After all such European Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon and all Obligations of the European Credit Parties shall have been satisfied and paid in full, the balance, if any, of such cash collateral shall be returned to European Borrower. Borrowers shall from time to time execute and deliver to Appropriate Agent such further documents and instruments as such Agent may request with respect to such cash collateral. If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, European Loan Agent and European Security Agent may (with the prior written consent the Administrative Agent) and, at the written request of the Requisite Lenders or the Administrative Agent, shall, exercise any rights and remedies provided to the European Loan Agent and European Security Agent under the Loan Documents or at law or equity. If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Obligations have been declared to be or otherwise become immediately due and payable, Administrative Agent may (and at the written request of the Requisite Lenders, shall), cause the Escrow Agent to release the Escrow Materials to it pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement (it being understood that Agents and Lenders may not cause the Escrow Materials to be so released except as provided in this sentence).

6.4 Performance by Agent. If any Credit Party shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, any Authorized Agent may perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of such Credit Party after the expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein. In such event, such Credit Party shall, at the request of any Authorized Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by any Authorized Agent in such performance or attempted performance to such Agent, together with interest thereon at the highest rate of interest in effect upon the occurrence of an Event of Default

as specified in Section 1.2(d) from the date of such expenditure until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that no Agent shall have any liability or responsibility for the performance of any obligation of any Credit Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(a) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) payments matching specific scheduled payments then due shall be applied to those scheduled payments; (ii) voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans and European Working Capital Loans shall be applied as determined by Appropriate Borrower Representative and voluntary prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied as in accordance with Section 1.5(a); and (iii) mandatory prepayments shall be applied as set forth in Section 1.5(c); provided that prior to application of any funds to any payments or prepayments of principal of any Loan the Appropriate Agent, in its discretion, may (provided that European Loan Agent and European Working Capital Loan Agent shall first consult with the Administrative Agent), apply such funds to Fees and any expenses of the Agents then reimbursable hereunder and to interest then due on the Loans, ratably in proportion to the interest accrued as to each Loan; provided further that no payments from any European Credit Party shall be applied to principal of the US Term Loans or US Revolving Loan or any interest thereon or any Fees payable with respect thereto. All payments and prepayments applied to a particular Loan shall be applied ratably to the portion thereof held by each Lender as determined by its Pro Rata Share. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.5(b) and (c), as to any other payment, and as to all payments made when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or following the Commitment Termination Date, each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments received from or on behalf of such Borrower, and each Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that Administrative Agent shall have the continuing exclusive right to direct Appropriate Agent to apply any and all such payments against the Obligations of Borrowers as Administrative Agent may deem advisable notwithstanding any previous entry by Appropriate Agent in the Loan Account or any other books and records; provided that no payments from any European Credit Party shall be applied to principal of the US Term Loans or US Revolving Loan or any interest thereon or any Fees payable with respect thereto. In the absence of a specific determination by Administrative Agent with respect thereto, payments shall be applied to amounts then due and payable in the following order: (1) to each Agent’s expenses and Fees reimbursable hereunder; (2) to interest on the Loans, ratably in proportion to the interest accrued as to each Loan; (3) to principal payments on the Loans and to provide cash collateral for Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner described in Section 6.3, ratably to the aggregate, combined principal balance of the Loans and outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations; and (4) to all other Obligations, including expenses of Lenders to the extent reimbursable under Section 1.3(d).

(b) Upon the exercise of any rights and remedies by any Authorized Agent under any of the Loan Documents with respect to Collateral pledged by any US Credit Party to secure the Obligations of the US Credit Parties after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any and all Proceeds received by any Authorized Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents with respect to such Collateral shall be applied and distributed by such Agent in the following order: (1) to expenses of the Administrative Agent and Fees reimbursable hereunder; (2) to interest on the US Revolving Loan and the US Term Loans ratably in

proportion to the interest accrued thereon; (3) to principal of the US Revolving Loan and the US Term Loans ratably in proportion to the outstanding principal amounts thereof; (4) to all other Obligations of the US Lenders to the extent reimbursable under Section 1.3(f), ratably in proportion to the unpaid amount thereof; (5) to fees and expenses of the European Loan Agent, the European Funding Agent, the European Working Capital Loan Agent and the European Security Agent; (6) to interest on the European Revolving Credit Loan, the European Working Capital Loan and the European Term Loan A ratably in proportion to interest accrued thereon; (7) to principal of the European Revolving Credit Advances, the European Working Capital Credit Advances and the European Term Loan A ratably in proportion to the outstanding principal amounts thereof; (8) to all other Obligations of the European Lenders to the extent reimbursable under Section 1.3(f), ratably in proportion to the unpaid amount thereof; and (9) to the US Borrowers or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

(c) Upon the exercise of any rights and remedies by European Loan Agent, European Funding Agent, the European Working Capital Loan Agent or European Security Agent under any of the Loan Documents with respect to Collateral pledged by any European Credit Party to secure the Obligations of the European Credit Parties after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any and all Proceeds received by European Loan Agent, the European Funding Agent, the European Working Capital Loan Agent or the European Security Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents with respect to such Collateral shall be applied and distributed by European Loan Agent, European Funding Agent, the European Working Capital Loan Agent or European Security Agent in the following order: (1) to Fees and expenses of the European Loan Agent, European Funding Agent, the European Working Capital Loan Agent or European Security Agent reimbursable hereunder; (2) to interest on the European Revolving Loan, the European Working Capital Loan and the European Term Loan A ratably in proportion to the interest accrued thereon; (3) to principal of the European Revolving Credit Advances. the European Working Capital Credit Advances and the European Term Loan A ratably in proportion to the outstanding principal amounts thereof; (4) to all other Obligations of the European Lenders to the extent reimbursable under Section 1.3(f) ratably in proportion to the unpaid amount thereof; and (5) to the European Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

6.6 Loss Sharing. On the first day on which any Bankruptcy Event shall occur in respect of any Credit Party or upon the date of acceleration of all or part of the Obligations in accordance with Section 6.2 (collectively, the “Reallocation Date”), the Lenders shall automatically and without further act be deemed to have purchased participations in the Loans such that as a result of such deemed purchases, such Lender shall hold an interest in every one of the Loans (including principal, interest and fee obligations of each Borrower in respect of each such Loan), whether or not such Lender shall previously have participated therein, equal to such Lender’s Reallocation Percentage thereof. Simultaneously with any Reallocation Exchange, as to each US Lender that has notified Administrative Agent and US Borrower Representatives prior to the Reallocation Date that it has elected to have this sentence applied to it, the interests in Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies to be received by such US Lender shall automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the Equivalent Amount in Dollars and after the Reallocation Date all amounts accruing and owing to such US Lender in respect of such Obligations shall accrue and be payable in Dollars. Each Lender, each Person

acquiring a participation from any Lender as contemplated by Section 8.1, each Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby consents to the Reallocation Exchange.

SECTION 8.

ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATION

8.1 Assignment and Participations. (a) Subject to the terms of this Section 8.1, any Lender may make an assignment to a Qualified Assignee or a Related Fund of, or sale of participations in, at any time or times, the Loan Documents, Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and the Commitments or any portion thereof or interest therein, including such Lender’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers or duties thereunder. Any assignment by a Lender shall: (i) with respect to the Revolving Loans, the European Working Capital Loan, the US Term Loan A, the European Term Loan A, the Letter of Credit Obligations and the related Loan Documents, require the consent of US Borrower Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that US Borrower Representative’s consent shall not be necessary with respect to any assignment made (1) to any assignee who is then a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund or (2) during the existence of an Event of Default; (ii) require the consent of: (1) with respect to the US Revolving Loan, the US Term Loan A, the US Letter of Credit Obligations, the US Revolving Loan Commitments, the US Term Loan A Commitments and the related Loan Documents, Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed with respect to a Qualified Assignee), and (2) with respect to the European Revolving Loan, the European Working Capital Loan, the European Term Loan A, the European Letter of Credit Obligations, the European Revolving Loan Commitments, the European Working Capital Loan Commitments, the European Term Loan Commitments and the related Loan Documents, notice to each of the European Loan Agent, European Working Capital Loan Agent and the European Funding Agent and the consent of Administrative Agent and the European Loan Agent (which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed with respect to a Qualified Assignee); provided that Administrative Agent’s, European Working Capital Loan Agent’s and European Loan Agent’s consent shall not be necessary with respect to any assignment made to any assignee who is then a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund; (iii) be conditioned on such assignee Lender representing to the assigning Lender and the Agents that it is purchasing the applicable portions of the Loans to be assigned to it for its own account, for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof;

(iv) after giving effect to any such partial assignment, (1) in the case of any assignment of Revolving Loans, European Working Capital Loans, US Term Loan A or European Term Loan A, the assignee Lender shall have a Commitment with respect to any such Loan assigned of at least $2,500,000 and the assigning Lender shall have retained a Commitment (unless the assigning Lender shall have assigned its entire Commitment) in respect of such Loan in an amount at least equal to $2,500,000 (or such lesser amount as agreed to by US Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent) and (2) in the case of US Term Loan B, the assignee Lender and its Affiliates and Related Funds shall have Commitments of at least $1,000,000 in the aggregate and the assigning Lender and its Affiliates and Related Funds shall have Commitments (unless the assigning Lender shall have assigned its entire Commitment) of at least $1,000,000 in the aggregate (or such lesser amount as agreed to by US Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent); (v) with respect to the assignment of any US Lender’s US Revolving Loan Commitment and/or US Term Loan Commitment require a payment to Administrative Agent of an assignment fee of $3,500 and with respect to the assignment of any European Lender’s European Revolving Loan Commitment, European Working Capital Loan Commitment and/or European Term Loan Commitment require a payment to European Funding Agent of an assignment fee of $1,500; provided that such assignment fee shall not be payable for any assignment to any assignee who is then a Lender or a Related Fund or an Affiliate of a Lender or any assignment to or from GE Capital, LCPI or LBI; and (vi) shall require the execution of an assignment agreement (an “Assignment Agreement”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 8.1 and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, and acknowledged by, Administrative Agent). Notwithstanding the above, Administrative Agent may in its sole and absolute discretion permit any assignment by a Lender to a Person or Persons that are not Qualified Assignees. An assignment or sale of participation interests in US Term Loan B shall not require the consent of any Borrower or any Agent. In the case of an assignment by a Lender under this Section 8.1(a), the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as all other Lenders hereunder. In addition, any assignment by a European Lender of its Loans and Commitments shall only be made as an integrated part of (and any such assignment shall be deemed to be and constitute evidence of) an assignment on a proportionate basis of such Lender’s rights and interest under the Collateral Documents to which it is a party and in the Collateral created or granted thereunder. The assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its Commitments or assigned portion thereof from and after the date of such assignment. Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that any assignment shall give rise to a direct obligation of Borrowers to the assignee and that the assignee shall be considered to be a “Lender.” In all instances, each Lender’s liability to make Loans hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable Commitment. In the event any Lender assigns or otherwise transfers all or any part of the Obligations, such Lender shall so notify the Borrower Representatives and Borrowers shall, upon the request of such Lender, execute new Notes in exchange for the Notes, if any, being assigned. The assignee Lender shall notify the Borrower Representatives of its notice address pursuant to Section 9.3. Any assignee Lender which fails to so notify the Borrower Representatives of its notice address shall not be entitled to any notices, reports or other information required to be delivered to any Lender by any Credit Party hereunder until such time as such assignee Lender provides Borrower Representatives with its notice address. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.1(a), (a) any Lender may at any time

pledge the Obligations held by it and such Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank, (b) any Lender that is an investment fund may assign, in whole or in part, the Obligations held by it and such Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to another investment fund managed by the same investment advisor or pledge such Obligations and rights to a trustee for the benefit of its investors and (c) any Lender may assign the Obligations to an Affiliate of such Lender or to a Person that is a Lender prior to the date of such assignment.

(b) Any participation by a Lender of all or any part of its Commitments shall be made with the understanding that all amounts payable by Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if that Lender had not sold such participation, and that the holder of any such participation shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except actions directly affecting (i) any reduction in the principal amount of, or interest rate or Fees payable with respect to, any Loan in which such holder participates, (ii) any extension of the scheduled amortization of the principal amount of any Loan in which such holder participates or the final maturity date thereof, and (iii) any release of all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Collateral Documents or the other Loan Documents). Any participation by a Lender shall be subject, after giving effect to any partial participation, to the same minimum principal and/or Commitment amount requirements as any partial assignment, as set forth in Section 8.1(a). Solely for purposes of Sections 1.8, 1.9, 8.3 and 9.1. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that a participation shall give rise to a direct obligation of Borrowers to the participant and the participant shall be considered to be a “Lender.” Except as set forth in the preceding sentence no Borrower or any other Credit Party shall have any obligation or duty to any participant. No Agent nor any Lender (other than the Lender selling a participation) shall have any duty to any participant and may continue to deal solely with the Lender selling a participation as if no such sale had occurred.

(c) Except as expressly provided in this Section 8.1, no Lender shall, as between Borrowers and that Lender, or any Agent and that Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of, or granting of participation in, all or any part of the Loans, the Notes or other Obligations owed to such Lender.

(d) Each Credit Party shall assist each Lender permitted to sell assignments or participations under this Section 8.1 as required to enable the assigning or selling Lender to effect any such assignment or participation, including the execution and delivery of any and all agreements, notes and other documents and instruments as shall be reasonably requested and the prompt preparation of informational materials for, and the participation of management in meetings with, potential assignees or participants, all on a timetable established by any Agent in its sole discretion. Each Credit Party executing this Agreement shall certify’ the correctness, completeness and accuracy of all descriptions of the Credit Parties and their respective affairs, in all material respects, contained in any selling materials provided by it and all other information provided by it and included in such materials, except that any Projections delivered by Borrowers shall only be certified by Borrowers as having been prepared by Borrowers in compliance with the representations contained in Section 5.5. Administrative Agent shall maintain, on behalf of Borrowers, in its offices located at 500 West Monroe Street, Chicago, Illinois 60661 a “register” for recording the name, address and commitment of each Lender. The entries in such register shall be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to each

Lender in the absence of manifest error. Borrowers, Agents and each Lender may treat each Person whose name is recorded in such register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. The register described herein shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender and any Authorized Agent, at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) A Lender may furnish any information concerning Credit Parties in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees, pledgees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants); provided that such Lender shall obtain from assignees, pledgees or participants confidentiality covenants substantially equivalent to those contained in Section 9.13.

(f) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Lender shall assign or sell participations in any portion of its Loans or Commitments to a potential Lender or participant, if, as of the date of the proposed assignment or sale, the assignee Lender or participant would be subject to capital adequacy or similar requirements under Section 1.8(a), increased costs or an inability to fund LIBOR Loans under Section 1.8(b), or withholding taxes in accordance with Section 1.9.

8.2 Agents.

(a) Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints GE Capital as Administrative Agent, GE ELF as European Loan Agent, HSBC as European Funding Agent and Nordea as European Working Capital Loan Agent and European Security Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes each Authorized Agent to execute and deliver the Collateral Documents and to take such action or to refrain from taking such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except with respect to provisions of Sections 8.2(g)(ii), and 8.2(h)(ii), the provisions of this Section 8.2 are solely for the benefit of Agents and Lenders and neither Borrowers nor any other Credit Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, each Agent shall act solely as agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Borrower or any other Credit Party or any other Person. Each Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder, or under the Loan Documents, by or through its agents or employees. No Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities except as set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) Nature of Duties. The duties of each Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. No Agent shall have or be deemed to have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or otherwise, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon any Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. For the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, neither European Loan Agent nor European Funding Agent shall have any obligations, duties or liabilities express or implied, under any of the Loan Documents under or in connection with the

European Working Capital Loan Agent, the European Working Capital Lenders or any European Working Capital Loans. Each Lender shall make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Credit Party in connection with the extension of credit hereunder and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Credit Party, and no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto (other than as expressly required herein). If any Agent seeks the consent or approval of any Lenders to the taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder, then such Agent shall send notice thereof to each Lender. Each Agent shall promptly notify each Lender any time that the Requisite Lenders have instructed such Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.

(c) Rights, Exculpation; Etc. No Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted by them hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, except that each Agent shall be liable to the extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction. No Agent shall be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them). In no event shall any Agent be liable for punitive, special, consequential, incidental, exemplary or other similar damages. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Agent shall exercise the same care which it would in dealing with loans for its own account, but no Agent nor any of its agents or representatives shall be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility, or sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or for the financial condition of any Credit Party. No Agent shall be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or the financial condition of any Credit Party, or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. Each Agent may at any time request instructions from Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders with respect to all actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents such Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant. If such instructions are promptly requested, such Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Requisite Lenders or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable; and, notwithstanding the instructions of Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable, no Agent shall have any obligation to take any action if it believes, in good faith, that such action is deemed to be illegal by such Agent or exposes such Agent to any liability for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification in accordance with Section 8.2(e). Each Lender acknowledges that it has,

independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on the Financial Statements referred to in Section 5.5 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and financial analysis of the Credit Parties and its own decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. Each Lender acknowledges the potential conflict of interest of each other Lender as a result of Lenders holding disproportionate interests in the Loans, and expressly consents to, and waives any claim based upon, such conflict of interest.

(d) Reliance. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any written or oral notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message or other communication (including any writing, telex, fax or telegram) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel, independent accountants, and other experts selected by such Agent in its sole discretion.

(e) Indemnification. Lenders will reimburse and indemnify each Agent for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses), advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Agent under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share, but only to the extent that any of the foregoing is not reimbursed by Credit Parties; provided however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements to the extent resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against even if so directed by the Requisite Lenders or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement until such additional indemnity is furnished. The obligations of Lenders under this Section 8.2(e) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(f) GE Capital, Nordea and GE ELF Individually. With respect to its Commitments hereunder, each of GE Capital, Nordea and GE ELF shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender. The terms “Lenders,” “Requisite Lenders,” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each of GE Capital, Nordea and GE ELF (to the extent applicable) in its individual capacity as a Lender or one of the Requisite Lenders. Each of GE Capital, Nordea and GE ELF, either directly or through strategic affiliations, may lend money to, acquire equity or other ownership interests in,

provide advisory services to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with any Credit Party as if it were not acting as an Agent pursuant hereto and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. Each of GE Capital, Nordea and GE ELF, either directly or through strategic affiliations, may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges the potential conflict of interest between GE Capital, Nordea and GE ELF (to the extent applicable) as Lenders holding disproportionate interests in the Loans and each of GE Capital, Nordea and GE ELF as Agents.

(g) Successor Agent.

(i) Resignation. Any Agent may resign from the performance of all its agency functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to European Borrower, US Borrower Representative and Lenders. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment pursuant to clause (ii) below or as otherwise provided in clause (ii) below. Syndication Agent may resign at any time upon notice to Administrative Agent.

(ii) Appointment of Successor. Upon any such notice of resignation pursuant to clause (i) above, Requisite Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent which, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall be reasonably acceptable to Borrowers; provided that the consent of the Administrative Agent shall also be required to appoint a successor European Loan Agent, successor European Funding Agent, successor European Working Capital Loan Agent or successor European Security Agent. No successor to Syndication Agent shall be appointed. If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within the thirty (30) Business Day period referred to in clause (i) above, the retiring Agent, upon notice to Borrower Representatives, shall then appoint a successor Agent who shall serve as Agent until such time, if any, as Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above.

(iii) Successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent under the Loan Documents by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as an Agent, the provisions of this Section 8.2 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in its capacity as an Agent.

(h) Collateral Matters.

(i) Release of Collateral. Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize each Authorized Agent to release any Lien granted to or held by such Agent upon any Collateral (x) upon the occurrence of the Termination Date or (y) constituting property being sold or disposed of if Borrowers (or any of them) certify to such Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement (and such Agent may rely in good faith conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry).

(ii) Confirmation of Authority: Execution of Releases. Without in any manner limiting any Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by Lenders (as set forth in Section 8.2(h)(i)), each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by any Authorized Agent or any Borrower Representative, the authority to release any Collateral conferred upon such Agent under clauses (x) and (y) of Section 8.2(h)(i). Upon receipt by any Authorized Agent of any required confirmation from the Requisite Lenders of its authority to release any particular item or types of Collateral, and upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written request by Appropriate Borrower Representative, such Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to such Agent upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (x) such Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in such Agent’s opinion, would expose such Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (y) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of any Credit Party, in respect of), all interests retained by any Credit Party, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

(iii) Absence of Duty. No Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to any Lender or any other Person to assure that the property covered by the Collateral Documents exists or is owned by Borrowers or any other Credit Party or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to any Authorized Agent have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to such Agent in this Section 8.2(h) or in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the property covered by the Collateral Documents or any act, omission or event related thereto, such Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its discretion, given such Agent’s own interest in property covered by the Collateral Documents as one of the Lenders and that such Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any of the other Lenders; provided that such Agent shall exercise the same care which it would in dealing with loans for its own account.

(i) Agency for Perfection. Each Agent and each Lender hereby appoint each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting such Agent’s security interest in assets which, in accordance with the Code in any applicable jurisdiction, can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender (other than Administrative Agent, European Security Agent, European Funding Agent, European Working Capital Loan Agent, or European Loan Agent) obtain possession or control of any such assets, such Lender shall notify Appropriate Agent thereof, and, promptly upon such Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such assets to such Agent or in accordance with such Agent’s instructions or transfer control to such Agent in accordance with such Agent’s instructions. Each Lender agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce any Collateral Document or to realize upon any collateral security for the Loans unless instructed to do so by Administrative Agent in writing (or with respect to the European Revolving Loan, European Working Capital Loan and the European Term Loan A, Administrative Agent, European Working Capital Loan Agent, and European Loan Agent), it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised

only by Administrative Agent or European Loan Agent (which shall include any such exercise by Agents at the request of Requisite Lenders pursuant to Section 6.3).

(j) Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and Fees required to be paid to such Agent for the account of Lenders, unless such Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or any Borrower Representative referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Each Agent will use reasonable efforts to notify each Lender of its receipt of any such notice, unless such notice is with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees, in which case such Agent will notify each Lender of its receipt of such notice. Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by Requisite Lenders in accordance with Section 6. Unless and until Administrative Agent has received any such request, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interests of Lenders.

(k) Lender Actions Against Collateral. Each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, with respect to the Loans, against any Borrower or any Credit Party hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or against any of the Real Estate encumbered by Mortgages without the consent of the Requisite Lenders. With respect to any action by Administrative Agent, European Security Agent, European Funding Agent, European Working Capital Loan Agent or European Loan Agent at the direction of Administrative Agent, to enforce the rights and remedies of Agents and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Lender hereby consents to the jurisdiction of the court in which such action is maintained, and agrees to deliver its Notes to Administrative Agent to the extent necessary to enforce the rights and remedies of Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders under the Mortgages in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(l) The Syndication Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, and shall incur no liability under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither Syndication Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by Syndication Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Credit Party or any affiliate of a Credit Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Syndication Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Syndication Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Syndication Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Syndication Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Syndication Agent shall not have any duty or

responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Credit Party or any affiliate of a Credit Party that may come into the possession of Syndication Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

8.3 Set Off and Sharing of Payments. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized by Borrowers at any time or from time to time, with reasonably prompt subsequent notice to Appropriate Borrower Representative (any prior or contemporaneous notice being hereby expressly waived) to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all (A) balances held by such Lender at any of its offices for the account of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (regardless of whether such balances are then due to any Borrower or its Subsidiaries), and (B) other property at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or for the account of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, against and on account of any of the Obligations; except that no Lender shall exercise any such right without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (or with respect to European Borrower, Administrative Agent, European Working Capital Loan Agent and European Loan Agent). Any Lender exercising a right to set off shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders shall sell) interests in each of such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause all Lenders to share the amount so set off with each other Lender in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Borrowers agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that any Lender may exercise its right to set off with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Obligations and upon doing so shall deliver such amount so set off to the Appropriate Agent for the benefit of all Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. To the extent permitted under applicable law, any Lender which receives a payment through the exercise of rights under this Section 8.3 shall use reasonable efforts to forward such payment to Appropriate Agent for distribution to Lenders in accordance with the provisions hereof. The parties hereto agree that the provisions of this Section shall apply with respect to any and all set offs or off sets made pursuant to this Section or pursuant to applicable law or otherwise (including, without limitation, any set offs or off sets made pursuant to or in connection with the European Cash Pooling System).

8.4 Disbursement of Funds. Appropriate Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, disburse funds to Borrowers for Loans requested. Each Lender shall reimburse Appropriate Agent on demand for all funds disbursed on its behalf by such Agent, or if such Agent so requests, each Lender will remit to such Agent its Pro Rata Share of any Loan before such Agent disburses same to Borrowers. If either Appropriate Agent elects to require that each Lender make funds available to such Agent prior to a disbursement by such Agent to Borrowers, such Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone or fax of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan requested by Appropriate Borrower Representative (i) with respect to any Index Rate Loan and any N Bor Loan, no later than 1:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the Funding Date applicable thereto, and (ii) with respect to any LIBOR Loan, no later than 2:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the third Business Day prior to the Funding Date applicable thereto. Each Lender shall pay such Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such requested Loan, in same day funds, by wire transfer to such Agent’s account on such Funding Date. If any Lender fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share within one (1) Business Day after such Agent’s demand, such Agent shall promptly

notify’ Appropriate Borrower Representative, and the applicable Borrowers shall immediately repay such amount to such Agent. Any repayment required pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall be without premium or penalty. Nothing in this Section 8.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including the provisions of Section 8.5 shall be deemed to require either Appropriate Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that such Agent or Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

8.5 Disbursements of Advances; Payment.

(a) Advances; Payments.

(i) US Revolving Lenders shall refund or participate in the Swing Line Loan in accordance with clauses (iii) and (iv) of Section 1.1(d). If the Swing Line Lender declines to make a Swing Line Loan or if Swing Line Availability is zero, Administrative Agent shall notify US Revolving Lenders, promptly after receipt of a Notice of US Revolving Credit Advance and in any event prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date such Notice of a US Revolving Credit Advance is received, by fax, telephone or other similar form of transmission. European Loan Agent shall notify European Revolving Lenders promptly after receipt of a Notice of European Revolving Credit Advance and in any event prior to 1:00 p.m. (London time) on the date such Notice of European Revolving Credit Advance is received, by fax, telephone or similar form of transmission. Each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Revolving Credit Advance available to Appropriate Agent in same day funds in Dollars, or the Equivalent Amount in the requested Alternative Currency, as applicable, by wire transfer to Appropriate Agent’s account as set forth in Section 1.1(i) not later than 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the requested Funding Date. European Working Capital Loan Agent shall notify European Working Capital Lenders promptly after receipt of a Notice of European Working Capital Credit Advance on the date such Notice of European Working Capital Credit Advance is received, by fax, telephone or similar form of transmission. The European Working Capital Lender shall make the amount of such European Working Capital Credit Advance available to European Working Capital Loan Agent in same day funds in Dollars, or the Equivalent Amount in the requested Alternative Currency, as applicable, by wire transfer to European Working Capital Loan Agent’s account as set forth in Section 1.1(i) not later than 1:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the requested Funding Date. After receipt of such wire transfers (or, in Appropriate Agent’s sole discretion, before receipt of such wire transfers), subject to the terms hereof, Appropriate Agent shall make the requested Revolving Credit Advance to Borrowers as designated by Appropriate Borrower Representative in the Notice of US Revolving Credit Advance, Notice of European Revolving Credit Advance or Notice of European Working Capital Credit Advance, as applicable. All payments by each Revolving Lender and European Working Capital Lender shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(ii) No later than the second Business Day after receipt of principal, interest and Fees (each, a “Settlement Date”), the Appropriate Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone or fax of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of principal, interest and Fees paid for the benefit of Lender with respect to the applicable Loans. Provided that each Lender has funded all payments and Revolving Credit Advances and European Working Capital Credit Advances (if applicable) required to be made by it and purchased all participations required to be

purchased by it under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of such Settlement Date, the Appropriate Agent shall pay or cause to be paid to each Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of principal, interest and Fees paid since the previous Settlement Date for the benefit of such Lender on the Loans held by it. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer to such Lender’s account (as specified by such Lender in Annex E, the signature pages hereof, or the applicable Assignment Agreement) not later than 2:00 p.m. (Local time) on the next Business Day following each Settlement Date. To the extent that any Revolving Lender (a “Non Funding Lender”) has failed to fund all such payments and Revolving Credit Advances or failed to fund the purchase of all such participations, the Appropriate Agent shall be entitled to set off the funding shortfall against that Non Funding Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments otherwise payable to that Non Funding Lender.

(b) Availability of Lender’s Pro Rata Share. Appropriate Agent may assume that each Revolving Lender will make its Pro Rata Share of each Revolving Credit Advance and European Working Capital Credit Advance available to Appropriate Agent on each Funding Date. If such Pro Rata Share is not, in fact, paid to Appropriate Agent by such Revolving Lender or European Working Capital Lender when due, Appropriate Agent will be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender or European Working Capital Lender without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. If any Revolving Lender or European Working Capital Lender fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share forthwith upon Appropriate Agent’s demand, Appropriate Agent shall promptly notify Appropriate Borrower Representative and Borrowers shall immediately repay such amount to Appropriate Agent. Nothing in this Section 8.5(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to require either Appropriate Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Revolving Lender or European Working Capital Lender or to relieve any Revolving Lender or European Working Capital Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrowers may have against any Revolving Lender or European Working Capital Lender as a result of any default by such Revolving Lender or European Working Capital Lender hereunder. To the extent that either Appropriate Agent advances funds to Borrowers on behalf of any Revolving Lender or European Working Capital Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as such Advance is made, such Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest accrued on such Advance until reimbursed by the applicable Revolving Lender.

(i) If either Appropriate Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by such Agent from Borrowers and such related payment is not received by such Agent, then such Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(ii) If either Appropriate Agent determines at any time that any amount received by such Agent under this Agreement must be returned to any Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, such Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to such Agent

on demand any portion of such amount that such Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as such Agent is required to pay to any Borrower or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(d) Non-Funding Lenders. The failure of any Non Funding Lender to make any Revolving Credit Advance or European Working Capital Credit Advance or any payment required by it hereunder, or to purchase any participation in any Swing Line Loan to be made or purchased by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender (each such other Revolving Lender, an “Other Lender”) of its obligations to make such Advance, make any other payment or purchase such participation on such date, but neither any Other Lender nor any Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make an Advance, make any other payment or purchase a participation or make any other payment required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or constitute a “Lender” a “US Lender”, a “European Lender”, a US Revolving Lender”, a “European Revolving Lender”, a “European Working Capital Lender”, a “US Term Lender” or a “European Term A Lender” (or be included in the calculation of “Requisite Lenders” hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document.

(e) Dissemination of Information. Each Authorized Agent shall use reasonable efforts to provide Lenders and the other Agents with any notice of Default or Event of Default received by such Agent from, or delivered by such Agent to, any Credit Party, with notice of any Event of Default of which such Agent has actually become aware and with notice of any action taken by such Agent following any Event of Default, unless such notice is with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees, in which case such Agent will notify each Lender of its receipt of such notice; provided that, in each case, such Agent shall not be liable to any Lender or the other Agent for any failure to do so.

(f) Actions in Concert. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender, European Loan Agent and European Working Capital Loan Agent hereby agrees with each other Lender and Agent that no Lender, European Loan Agent nor European Working Capital Loan Agent shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Notes (including exercising any rights of setoff) without first obtaining the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and Requisite Lenders, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Notes shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Administrative Agent or Requisite Lenders, except as specifically provided herein with respect to actions by European Loan Agent. Administrative Agent is authorized to issue all notices to be issued by or on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Subordinated Debt.

8.6 Swiss and German Power of Attorney. Each European Lender hereby authorizes and empowers the European Security Agent with the right of delegation and substitution and under relief from any restrictions (including but not limited to restrictions of Section 181 German Civil Code) to execute on its sole signature on behalf of such European Lender any and all agreements, sub powers-of-attorney to third persons or other instruments and take such actions, make all statements and accept all declarations deemed necessary or useful in order to effect any Collateral on behalf of such European Lender.

SECTION 9.

9.1 Indemnities. Credit Parties agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify, pay, and hold each Agent, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, trustees and attorneys (the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs and expenses (including all reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to such Indemnitees) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Indemnitees as a result of such Indemnitees’ being a party to this Agreement or the transactions consummated pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise relating to any of the Related Transactions (including any LIBOR Breakage Fee or any other loss sustained in converting between any Alternative Currency and Dollars); provided, that Credit Parties shall have no obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to liabilities to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Credit Parties agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction thereof which is permissible under applicable law.

9.2 Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Except for actions expressly permitted in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to be taken by Administrative Agent, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Administrative Agent, Borrowers, and by Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable (or with respect to Collateral Documents executed by any European Credit Party, by European Loan Agent, European Working Capital Loan Agent or European Security Agent, as applicable, with the consent of Administrative Agent). Except as set forth in clause (b) below, all such amendments, modifications, terminations or waivers requiring the consent of any Lenders shall require the written consent of Requisite Lenders.

(b) No amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall, unless in writing and signed by Administrative Agent and each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby: (i) except as contemplated by Section 1.1(e) increase the principal amount of any Lender’s Commitment (which action shall be deemed only to affect those Lenders whose Commitments are increased and may be approved by Requisite Lenders, including those Lenders whose Commitments are increased); (ii) reduce the principal of, rate of interest on (other than any determination or waiver to charge or not charge interest at the Default Rate) or Fees payable with respect to any Loan or Letter of Credit Obligations of any affected Lender; (iii) extend any scheduled payment date or final maturity date of the principal amount of any Loan of any affected Lender; (iv) waive, forgive, defer, extend or postpone any payment of interest or Fees as to any affected Lender (which action shall be deemed only to affect those Lenders to whom such payments are made); (v) except as otherwise permitted in Section 3.7, release substantially any Guarantor or release substantially all of the Collateral (which action shall be deemed to directly affect all Lenders); (vi) amend or change Section 6.5(b); (vii) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans that shall be required for

Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder; and (viii) amend or waive this Section 9.2 or the definitions of the terms “Requisite Lenders” insofar as such definition affects the substance of this Section 9.2. Furthermore, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver affecting the rights or duties of any Agent or L/C Issuers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be effective unless in writing and signed by such Agent or L/C Issuers, as the case may be, in addition to Lenders required hereinabove to take such action. Notwithstanding clause (i) above, the Commitments may be increased to provide for the Additional LC Facility hereunder, and this Agreement may be amended in accordance therewith with the consent only of Administrative Agent and those Lenders, if any, whose Commitments are increased. Each amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of any Note shall be effective without the written concurrence of the holder of that Note. No-notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle such Credit Party or any other Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 9.2 shall be binding upon each holder of the Notes at the time outstanding and each future holder of the Notes.

9.4 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender to exercise, nor any partial exercise of, any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Documents shall impair such power, right, or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default.

9.6 Severability. The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability in any jurisdiction of any provision under the Loan Documents shall not affect or impair the remaining provisions in the Loan Documents.

9.7 Lenders’ Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligation of each Lender hereunder is several and not joint and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligation or commitment of any other Lender hereunder. In the event that any Lender at any time should fail to make a Loan as herein provided, the Lenders, or any of them, at their sole option, may make the Loan that was to have been made by the Lender so failing to make such Loan. Nothing contained in any Loan Document and no action taken by any Agent or any Lender pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to constitute Lenders to be a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt.

9.8 Headings. Section and subsection headings are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purposes or be given substantive effect.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns except that Borrowers may not assign their rights or obligations hereunder without the written consent of all Lenders; provided that any assignment by a Lender shall be made in accordance with Section 8.1 hereof.

9.11 No Fiduciary Relationship Limited Liability. No provision in the Loan Documents and no course of dealing between the parties shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing to Borrowers by any Agent or any Lender. Borrowers agree that no Agent nor any Lender shall have liability to Borrowers (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by Borrowers in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless and to the extent that it is determined that such losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought as determined by a final non-appealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction. No Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and Borrowers hereby waive, release and agree not to sue for, any special, indirect or consequential damages suffered by Borrowers in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

9.12 Construction. Each Agent, each Lender, Borrowers and each other Credit Party acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review the Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that the Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by each Agent, each Lender, Borrowers and each other Credit Party.

9.13 Confidentiality.

The confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 9.13 shall not apply to disclosures (i) required to be made by any Agent or any Lender to any regulatory or governmental agency or pursuant to legal process or (ii) consisting of general portfolio information that does not identify Borrowers. The obligations of Agents and Lenders under this Section 9.13 shall supersede and replace the obligations of Agents and Lenders under any confidentiality agreement in respect of this financing executed and delivered by any Agent or any Lender prior to the date hereof. Each Agent agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates will in the future issue any press releases or other public disclosure, including any prospectus, proxy statement or other materials filed with any Governmental Authority relating to a public offering of the Stock of any Agent, using the name of any Credit Party or their affiliates without at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to US Borrower Representative, and without the prior written consent of US Borrower Representative, not to be unreasonably withheld, unless (and only to the extent that) such Agent or Affiliate is required to do so under law and then, in any event, such Agent or Affiliate will consult with US Borrower Representative before issuing such press release or other public disclosure.

BORROWERS AND CREDIT PARTIES HEREBY CONSENT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN NEW YORK COUNTY, STATE OF NEW YORK AND IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT, SUBJECT TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S ELECTION, ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NOTES SHALL BE LITIGATED IN SUCH COURTS.

9.17 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether oral or written, relating to the subject

matter hereof, and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. All Exhibits, Schedules and Annexes referred to herein are incorporated in this Agreement by reference and constitute a part of this Agreement.

This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together shall constitute but one in the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto.

9.19 Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Within twenty (20) days after receipt by Appropriate Borrower Representative of written notice and demand from any Lender for payment pursuant to Section 1.8 or 1.9 or, as provided in this Section 9.19, in the case of certain refusals by any Lender to consent to certain proposed amendments, modifications, terminations or waivers with respect to this Agreement that have been approved by Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable (any such Lender demanding such payment or refusing to so consent being referred to herein as an “Affected Lender”), Borrowers may, at their option, notify each Agent and such Affected Lender of its intention to do one of the following:

(i) Borrowers may obtain, at Borrowers’ expense, a replacement Lender (“Replacement Lender”) for such Affected Lender, which Replacement Lender shall be reasonably satisfactory (notice of such satisfaction not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to Administrative Agent (or with respect to (A) any European Lender, Administrative Agent and European Loan Agent and (B) the European Working Capital Lenders, Administrative Agent, European Loan Agent and European Working Capital Loan Agent). In the event Borrowers obtain a Replacement Lender that will purchase all outstanding Obligations owed to such Affected Lender and assume its Commitments hereunder within thirty (30) days following notice of Borrowers’ intention to do so, the Affected Lender shall sell and assign all of its rights and delegate all of its obligations under this Agreement to such Replacement Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.1; provided that Borrowers have reimbursed such Affected Lender for any administrative fee payable pursuant to Section 8.1 and, in any case where such replacement occurs as the result of a demand for payment pursuant to Section 1.8 or 1.9, paid all amounts required to be paid to such Affected Lender pursuant to Section 1.8 or 1.9 through the date of such sale and assignment; or

(ii) Borrowers may, with Administrative Agent’s consent, prepay in full all outstanding Obligations owed to such Affected Lender and terminate such Affected Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan Commitment, Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Commitment and Pro Rata Share of the European Working Capital Loan Commitment, in which case the Revolving Loan Commitment, Term Loan Commitment and European Working Capital Loan Commitment will be reduced by the amount of such Pro Rata Share. Borrowers shall, within ninety (90) days following notice of their intention to do so, prepay in full all outstanding Obligations owed to such Affected Lender (including, in any case where such prepayment occurs

as the result of a demand for payment for increased costs, such Affected Lender’s increased costs for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement through the date of such prepayment), and terminate such Affected Lender’s obligations under the Revolving Loan Commitment, Term Loan Commitment and European Working Capital Loan Commitment.

(b) In the case of a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to Section 8.5(a), at US Borrower Representative’s request, Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, or a Person acceptable to Administrative Agent shall have the right (but shall have no obligation) with the Administrative Agent’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld in the case of a Qualified Assignee) to purchase from any Non-Funding Lender, and each Non-Funding Lender agrees that it shall, at Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to Administrative Agent or such Person, all of the Loans and Commitments of that Non-Funding Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by such Non-Funding Lender and all accrued interest and Fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment Agreement.

(c) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination pursuant to Section 9.2 (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all affected Lenders, the consent of Requisite Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 9.19(c) being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at US Borrower Representative’s request Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, or a Person reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, shall have the right (but shall have no obligation) with the Administrative Agent’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld in the case of a Qualified Assignee) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lenders, and such Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall, upon Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to Administrative Agent or such Person, all of the Loans and Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lenders for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by the Non- Consenting Lenders and all accrued interest and Fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment Agreement.

9.20 Delivery of Termination Statements and Mortgage Releases. On the Termination Date, and so long as no suits, actions proceedings, or claims are pending or, in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent, threatened against any Indemnitee asserting any damages, losses or liabilities that are indemnified liabilities hereunder, each Authorized Agent shall deliver to Appropriate Borrower Representative termination statements, mortgage releases and other documents necessary or appropriate to evidence the termination of the Liens securing payment of the Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Authorized Agent agrees to deliver to Borrowers termination statements, mortgage releases and other documents necessary or appropriate to evidence the termination of the Liens securing payment of the Obligations notwithstanding that a suit, action, proceeding or claim is pending or threatened against any Indemnified Person asserting any damages, losses or liabilities that are Indemnified Liabilities; provided that the Borrowers provide a letter of credit, surety bond or other collateral that is sufficient to secure such Indemnified Liabilities, and which is satisfactory, including, but not limited to, in form and amount, to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.

9.21 Judgment Currency.

(a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under the Notes in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”) the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency at 11:00 A.M., Local Time, on the second Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligation of a Borrower in respect of any sum due in the Original Currency from it to any Lender or any Agent hereunder or under the Notes held by such Lender shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or such Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency such Lender or such Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency; if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or such Agent (as the case may be) in the Original Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or such Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any Lender or such Agent (as the case may be) in the Original Currency, such Lender or such Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to such Borrower such excess.

9.22 European Monetary Union. If any currency ceases to be the lawful currency of the nation issuing the same and is replaced by the European Union Euro, then any amount payable hereunder by any party hereto in such currency shall instead be payable in the Euro and the amount so payable shall be determined by translating the amount payable in such currency to the Euro at the fixed conversion rate for such currency in Euros on the date of such event. Prior to the occurrence of the foregoing event, each amount payable hereunder in any currency will continue to be payable in only in that currency. Each Borrower agrees, at the request of the Required Lenders, at the time of or any time following such event, to enter into an agreement amending this Agreement in such manner as the Required Lenders shall reasonably request in order to avoid any unfair burden or disadvantage resulting from the cessation of such currency as the lawful currency of the nation issuing the same and to place the parties hereto in the position they would have been m had such event not occurred, the intent being that neither party will be adversely affected economically as a result of such event and that reasonable provisions may be adopted to govern the Advances and, maintenance and repayment of Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency after the occurrence of the event described in the preceding sentence.

9.23 Subordination.

(a) Each Credit Party executing this Agreement covenants and agrees that the payment of all indebtedness, principal, interest (including interest which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding in bankruptcy, or for the reorganization of any Credit Party), fees, charges, expenses, attorneys’ fees and any other sum, obligation or liability owing by any other Credit Party to such Credit Party, including any intercompany trade payables or

royalty or licensing fees (collectively, the “Intercompany Obligations”), is subordinated, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Section 9.23, to the prior payment in full of all Obligations (herein, the “Senior Obligations”) and that the subordination is for the benefit of the Agents and Lenders, and Administrative Agent may enforce such provisions directly.

(b) Each Credit Party executing this Agreement hereby (i) authorizes Administrative Agent to demand specific performance of the terms of this Section 9.23 whether or not any other Credit Party shall have complied with any of the provisions hereof applicable to it, at any time when such Credit Party shall have failed to comply with any provisions of this Section 9.23 which are applicable to it and (ii) irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law, which might be asserted as a bar to such remedy of specific performance.

(c) Upon any distribution of assets of any Credit Party in any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise):

(i) The Agents and Lenders shall first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of the Senior Obligations before any Credit Party is entitled to receive any payment on account of the Intercompany Obligations.

(ii) Any payment or distribution of assets of any Credit Party of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which any other Credit Party would be entitled except for the provisions of Section 9.23, shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution directly to the Administrative Agent, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Obligations remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution or provisions therefor to the Agents and Lenders.

(iii) In the event that notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 9.23, any payment or distribution of assets of any Credit Party of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by any other Credit Party on account of the Intercompany Obligations before all Senior Obligations are paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust for and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent for application to the payment of the Senior Obligations until all of the Senior Obligations shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution or provision therefor to the Agents and Lenders.

(d) No right of the Agents and Lenders or any other present or future holders of any Senior Obligations to enforce the subordination provisions herein shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Credit Party or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by any Credit Party with the terms hereof, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.

Press Release

Exhibit 99.1

TEMPUR-PEDIC INTERNATIONAL INC. ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF AMENDED AND RESTATED SENIOR CREDIT FACILITIES

Amended facilities provide favorable interest rate pricing and more flexible covenant package

For Immediate Release

LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY, AUGUST 30, 2004 — Tempur-Pedic International Inc. (NYSE: TPX) announced that it has closed on an amendment and restatement of its existing senior secured credit facilities. The changes include a reduction in the interest rates charged on outstanding borrowings as well as favorable changes to the covenant structure included in the agreement.

“Our senior lending group, led by GE Commercial Finance, worked with us to provide senior credit facilities that reflect the strong growth in the sales and cash flows of the business along with our significant reduction in leverage since we renegotiated the facilities last August, and a covenant package that is more consistent with our status as a growing, successful public company”, said Dale Williams, Chief Financial Officer.

Significant changes to the amended and restated agreement include: a 75 basis point reduction in the interest rates applicable to various components of the facilities; a more flexible covenant package including the elimination of the maximum capital expenditure covenant; and the allowance of Industrial Revenue Bond financing for the proposed Albuquerque, New Mexico plant. The amended and restated agreement continues to provide for revolving credit facilities in the committed amounts of $20 million in the United States and $15 million in Europe with an additional $5 million working capital line in Europe, and term loans in the aggregate amount of approximately $203 million outstanding. The revolving credit facilities continue to mature in 2008 and the term loans continue to mature in 2008 and 2009.

The Company expects that the more favorable interest rate pricing will initially result, based on the level of borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2004, in a savings of approximately $1.6 million in interest expense on an annualized basis. These savings will be partially offset by amortization of the related financing costs of approximately $0.3 million per year.

Mr. Williams added, “This agreement illustrates a continued strong commitment to the business from our lending group and we appreciate the long term support we have received from GE Commercial Finance. The terms of the agreement also allow the company the flexibility to start construction of the Albuquerque plant earlier than previously announced to meet the increasing demand for our products.”
