CREDIT AGREEMENT
     THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of March 19, 2008, is among:
  (a)   Weatherford International Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (“ WIL ”), and together with WIL and any other Persons from time to time becoming Borrowers hereunder pursuant to Section 12.01(c) , but excluding any Persons who from time to time cease to be Borrowers hereunder pursuant to Section 12.01(d) , collectively, the “ Borrowers ”);
 
  (b)   Weatherford International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ WII ” or the “ Guarantor ”);
 
  (c)   Deutsche Bank AG Cayman Islands Branch, individually as a Lender and as administrative agent for the other Lenders (in such latter capacity together with any other Person that becomes the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article X , the “ Administrative Agent ”); and
 
  (d)   the banks and other financial institutions listed on the signature pages hereof under the caption “ Lenders ” (together with each other Person that becomes a Lender pursuant to Section 12.05 , collectively, the “ Lenders ”).
     NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS; ACCOUNTING TERMS; INTERPRETATION
     SECTION 1.01. Definitions . As used in this Agreement the following terms shall have the following meanings:
     “ ABR ”, when used in reference to any Loan or Borrowing, refers to whether such Loan, or the Loans comprising such Borrowing, are bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate.
     “ Adjusted LIBO Rate ” means, with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowing for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/100 of 1%) equal to (a) the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period multiplied by (b) the Statutory Reserve Rate.
     “ Administrative Agent ” has the meaning specified in paragraph (c) on page one.
     “ Administrative Questionnaire ” means an Administrative Questionnaire in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent.
     “ Affiliate ” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person that, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by or is under direct or indirect common control with, such Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control” (including, with correlative meanings, the terms “controlling” and “controlled”), when used with respect to any Person, means the power to

1


 
direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
     “ Agreement ” means this Credit Agreement, as it may from time to time be further amended, modified, restated or supplemented.
     “ Alternate Base Rate ” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Base CD Rate in effect on such day plus 1% and (c) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 1 / 2 of 1%. If the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be presumed correct absent manifest error) that it is unable to ascertain the Federal Funds Effective Rate for any reason, including the inability or failure of the Administrative Agent to obtain sufficient quotations in accordance with the terms of the definition thereof, the Alternate Base Rate shall be determined without regard to clause (c) of the preceding sentence until the circumstances giving rise to such inability no longer exist. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Base CD Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the Base CD Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate, respectively.
     “ Applicable Margin ” means the per annum rate of interest set forth in the definition of Applicable Rate under the heading “Applicable Margin”, based upon the ratings by Moody’s and S&P, respectively, applicable on such date to the Index Debt.
     “ Applicable Percentage ” means, with respect to any Lender, the percentage of the total Commitments represented by such Lender’s Commitment. If the Commitments have terminated or expired, the Applicable Percentages shall be determined based upon the Commitments most recently in effect, giving effect to any assignments.
     “ Applicable Rate ” means, for any day, with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan, or with respect to the facility fees payable hereunder, as the case may be, the applicable rate per annum set forth below under the captions “Facility Fee” or “Applicable Margin”, as the case may be, based upon the ratings by Moody’s and S&P, respectively, applicable on such date to the Index Debt:
                 
Index
  Facility   Applicable
Debt Ratings:
  Fee   Margin
Performance Level I
    .050 %     .150 %
Performance Level II
    .060 %     .190 %
Performance Level III
    .080 %     .270 %
Performance Level IV
    .090 %     .410 %
Performance Level V
    .110 %     .590 %
; provided that for each day on which the total Revolving Credit Exposures of all Lenders exceeds 50% of the total Commitments, (a) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s and S&P for the Index Debt on such day shall fall within Performance

2


 
Level I, Performance Level II or Performance Level III, the Applicable Margin on such day shall be increased by 0.05% and (b) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s and S&P for the Index Debt on such day shall fall within Performance Level IV or Performance Level V, the Applicable Margin on such day shall be increased by 0.10%.
     For purposes of the foregoing, (i) if either Moody’s or S&P shall not have in effect a rating for the Index Debt (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the last sentence of this definition), then such rating agency shall be deemed to have established the same rating as the rating agency that has in effect a rating for the Index Debt; (ii) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s and S&P for the Index Debt shall fall within different Performance Levels, the Applicable Rate shall be based on the higher of the two ratings unless one of the two ratings is two or more Performance Levels lower than the other, in which case the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to the Performance Level next below that of the higher of the two ratings; and (iii) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s and S&P for the Index Debt shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of Moody’s or S&P), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first announced by the applicable rating agency, irrespective of when or whether notice of such change shall have been furnished by WIL to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Each change in the Applicable Rate shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of Moody’s or S&P shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, WIL and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.

     (vi) the location and number of the account of the requesting Borrower to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.03 .
If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Currency is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the requesting Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that such Eurocurrency Borrowing be made in Dollars. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the requesting Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of, and applicable Currency of, such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.
     SECTION 2.03. Funding of Borrowings .

In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the Borrowers, jointly and severally, and the applicable Lender severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the requesting Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of (A) the Federal Funds Effective Rate, in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, and the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount, in the case of Loans denominated in an Optional Currency, and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Borrowings, in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, and the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing, in the case of Loans denominated in

Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by such Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no Borrower shall be permitted to change the currency of any Borrowing.
          (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02 :

Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies WIL, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (1) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (2) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (A) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, be converted to an ABR Borrowing, and (B) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in an Optional Currency, be converted to an ABR Borrowing (denominated in Dollars) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Eurocurrency Borrowing on the last day of such Interest Period.

          (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note (all of such notes being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “ Notes ”).

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

          (e) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
          (f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be presumed correct absent manifest error.
     SECTION 2.10. Alternate Rate of Interest . If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in any Currency:
          (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be presumed correct absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Currency for such Interest Period; or
          (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to WIL and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies WIL and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any ABR Borrowing to, or continuation of any Eurocurrency Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing in such Currency shall be ineffective, and, in the case of any request for the continuation of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Eurocurrency Borrowing shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto be converted to (A) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars, an ABR Borrowing or (B) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in an Optional Currency, an ABR Borrowing (denominated in Dollars) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such Eurocurrency Borrowing, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in such Currency, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the requested Eurocurrency Borrowing.

     SECTION 2.11. Increased Costs .
     (a) If any Change in Law shall:
     (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or
     (ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
          (b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
          (c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, along with (i) a calculation of such amount or amounts, (ii) a description of the specific Change in Law that justifies such amounts due, and (iii) such other pertinent information related to the foregoing as any Borrower may reasonably request, shall be delivered to such Borrower and shall be presumed correct absent manifest error. The Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the correct amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
          (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the

32


 
Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 120 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
     SECTION 2.12. Break Funding Payments . In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.07(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of an assignment required by WIL pursuant to Section 4.03(b) , then, in any such event, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be presumed correct absent manifest error, and shall set forth a calculation of such amounts and such other information as any Borrower may reasonably request. The Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
     SECTION 2.13. Agreement to Defer Exercise of Right of Contribution, Etc. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by a Borrower (a “ Paying Borrower ”) hereunder, or any setoff or application by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any security furnished by, or of any credits or claims against, such Paying Borrower, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Paying Borrower will not assert or exercise any rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or of its own, against any other Borrower to recover the amount of any such payment, setoff or application by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, whether by way of assertion of any claim, or exercise of any remedy or right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, participation or otherwise, and whether arising by contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise, and, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Paying Borrower shall not have any right to exercise any right of recourse to or any claim against assets or property of the other

33


 
Borrowers for such amounts, in each case unless and until all of the Obligations of the Borrowers have been fully and finally satisfied. If any amount shall be paid to a Paying Borrower by any other Borrower after payment in full of the Obligations, and the Obligations shall thereafter be reinstated in whole or in part and the Administrative Agent or any Lender forced to repay to any Borrower any sums received in payment of the Obligations, the obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall be automatically pro tanto reinstated and such amount shall be held in trust by the payee thereof for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.
     SECTION 2.14. Extension of Maturity Date .
          (a) Not earlier than 90 days prior to, nor later than 30 days prior to, each May 2 occurring hereafter, beginning with May 2, 2011, and on not more than three occasions, WIL may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), request a one-year extension of the Maturity Date then in effect. Prior to the earlier of (i) 30 days after delivery of such notice by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders and (ii) three Business Days prior to the then existing Maturity Date, each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent whether or not it consents to such extension (which consent may be given or withheld in such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion). Any Lender not responding within the above time period shall be deemed not to have consented to such extension. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the Lenders’ responses.
          (b) The Maturity Date shall be extended only if the Required Lenders (calculated excluding any Lender in default in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder and after giving effect to any replacements of Non-Extending Lenders pursuant to Section 4.03(b) ) have consented thereto, whereupon the Maturity Date shall be extended to the date which is one year after the Maturity Date in effect prior to such extension (such existing Maturity Date, the “ Extension Effective Date ”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such extension, specifying the Extension Effective Date and the new Maturity Date. As a condition precedent to such extension, each Obligor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of such Obligor dated as of the Extension Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Obligor (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Obligor approving or consenting to such extension and (ii) certifying that (A) before and after giving effect to such extension, the representations and warranties contained in Article VI made by it are true and correct on and as of the Extension Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, (B) as of the Extension Effective Date, both before and immediately after giving effect to such extension no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (C) as of the Extension Effective Date, there has been no material adverse change, since the date of the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K furnished or deemed furnished to the Administrative Agent and each Lender pursuant to Section 7.01(b) , in the financial condition, business or operations of WIL and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (c) Notwithstanding any extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 2.14 , each Non-Extending Lender that has not been replaced by another Lender pursuant to Section 4.03 prior to the applicable Extension Effective Date shall continue to be subject to the Maturity Date in effect prior to giving effect to such extension (the “ Existing Maturity Date ”), and references herein to the “Maturity Date”, as to such Non-Extending Lender, shall be deemed to refer to the Existing Maturity Date. On the Existing Maturity Date, the Borrowers shall (i) prepay any Loans outstanding on such date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.12 ) to the extent necessary to keep outstanding Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages of the respective Lenders effective as of such date and (ii) pay all other obligations accrued or owing hereunder to each Non-Extending Lender as of the Existing Maturity Date.

          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, WIL shall have the right, without the consent of the Lenders but with the prior approval of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), to cause from time to time an increase in the aggregate Commitments (a “ Commitment Increase ”) by adding to this Agreement one or more additional financial institutions that are not already Lenders hereunder and that are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank (each a “ CI Lender ”) or by allowing one or more existing Lenders to increase their respective Commitments; provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the effective date of such Commitment Increase, (ii) no such Commitment Increase shall be in an amount less than $15,000,000, (iii) no such Commitment Increase shall cause the aggregate Commitments to exceed $500,000,000, (iv) no Lender’s Commitment shall be increased without such Lender’s prior written consent (which consent may be given or withheld in such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion) and (v) if, on the effective date of such Commitment Increase, any Loans have been funded, then the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay any breakage fees or costs or other amounts owing hereunder in connection with the breakage or reallocation of such outstanding Loans.
          (b) Any Commitment Increase must be requested by written notice from WIL to the Administrative Agent (a “ Notice of Commitment Increase ”) in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto and shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Each such Notice of Commitment Increase shall specify (i) the proposed effective date of such Commitment Increase, which date shall be no earlier than five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of such Notice of Commitment Increase, (ii) the amount of the requested Commitment Increase ( provided that after giving effect to such requested Commitment Increase, the aggregate Commitments do not exceed the amount set forth in subparagraph (a)(iii) above), (iii) the identity of each CI Lender or Lender that has agreed in writing to increase its Commitment hereunder, and (iv) the amount of the respective Commitments of the then existing Lenders and the CI Lenders from and after the Commitment Increase Effective Date. The Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank shall review each Notice of Commitment Increase and shall notify WIL whether or not the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank approve the proposed Commitment Increase, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank approve such Commitment

          (c) On each Commitment Increase Effective Date, to the extent that there are Loans outstanding as of such date, (i) each CI Lender shall, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, deliver to the Administrative Agent such CI Lender’s New Funds Amount of each applicable Currency, which amounts, for each such CI Lender, shall constitute Loans made by such CI Lender to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement on such Commitment Increase Effective Date, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, pay to each Reducing Percentage Lender its Reduction Amount of each applicable Currency, which amounts, for each such Reducing Percentage Lender, shall constitute a prepayment by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.07(a) , ratably in accordance with the respective principal amounts thereof, of the principal amounts of all then outstanding Loans of such Reducing Percentage Lender, and (iii) the Borrowers shall pay to each Lender any breakage fees or costs or other amounts owing hereunder in connection with the breakage or reallocation of any outstanding Loans.
          (d) For purposes of this Section 2.15 and Exhibit E , the following defined terms shall have the following meanings: (i) “ New Funds Amount ” means, for any Lender or CI Lender and for any Currency, the amount equal to the product of such Lender’s increased Commitment or such CI Lender’s Commitment (as applicable) represented as a percentage of the aggregate Commitments after giving effect to the Commitment Increase, times the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Loans denominated in such Currency immediately prior to giving effect to the Commitment Increase, if any, as of a Commitment Increase Effective Date (without regard to any increase in the aggregate principal amount of Loans as a result of borrowings made after giving effect to the Commitment Increase on such Commitment Increase Effective Date); (ii) “ Reducing Percentage Lender ” means each then existing Lender immediately prior to giving effect to a Commitment Increase that does not increase its respective Commitment as a result of such Commitment Increase and whose relative percentage of the aggregate Commitments shall be reduced after giving effect to such Commitment Increase; and (iii) “ Reduction Amount ” means, for any Reducing Percentage Lender and for any Currency, the amount by which such Reducing Percentage Lender’s outstanding Loans denominated in such Currency decrease as of a Commitment Increase Effective Date (without regard to the effect of any borrowings made on such Commitment Increase Effective Date after giving effect to the appli
