of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day and (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus  1/2 of
1%. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate,

be made by the Administrative Agent as soon as practicable after receipt by the Administrative Agent of all required financial statements for the applicable period): 
  

									
	 Level
	  	Leverage Ratio	  	Eurodollar Margin	 	 	ABR Margin	 
	 I
	  	X32.75	  	2.000	%	 	0.50	%
	 II
	  	2.75>X32.25	  	1.750	%	 	0.25	%

 ARTICLE II 
 The Credits 
 SECTION 2.01 Commitments. 
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender
agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Commitment. Within the
foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans. 
 (b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) above, Revolving Loans (but excluding Revolving Loans that are Swingline Loans or for Letters of Credit), may, at the option of the Borrower, be requested in or converted into one of the Alternative
Currencies in an amount up to the Equivalent Amount of not more than $50,000,000, calculated as of the date such Loans are requested. If so requested, only those Lenders designated on Schedule 2.01 as having Commitments in an Alternative
Currency shall participate in making such Loans, notwithstanding that this results in such Lenders having amounts owing by the Borrower on a non pro rata basis. Following the advance of a Revolving Loan in an Alternative Currency, the provisions of
Section 2.02(b) shall apply to subsequent Borrowings requested under the Revolving Loan. 
 SECTION 2.02 Loans and
Borrowings. 
 (a) Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans made by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with their respective Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and
no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. 
 (b) If a Borrowing under the Revolving Loan
is made in an Alternative Currency, subsequent Borrowings requested in, or converted into, Dollars shall be advanced first by Lenders that do not have Commitments in an Alternative Currency until such time as the amount owing to each of the Lenders
under the Revolving Loan is equal to its pro rata share of Commitments. 
  

 -21- 








 (c) Subject to Section 2.13, each Borrowing requested in Dollars shall be comprised entirely
of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Borrowing requested in an Alternative Currency shall be comprised entirely of Alternative Currency Loans. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar
Loan or Alternative Currency Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (d) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar or Alternative Currency
Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000 or the Equivalent Amount in an Alternative Currency. At the time that each ABR Revolving Borrowing is made, such
Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000; provided that an ABR Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to (i) the entire unused balance of the total Commitments,
(ii) that which is required to repay a Swingline Loan, or (iii) that which is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e). Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be
outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of five (5) Eurodollar Borrowings or more than five (5) Alternative Currency Borrowings outstanding. 
 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any
Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Termination Date. 
 SECTION 2.03 Requests for
Borrowings. To request a Revolving Borrowing, the Borrower shall provide notice (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, by telephone to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago, Illinois time, three (3) Business

case of any Alternative Currency Borrowing other than an Alternative Currency Borrowing denominated in Czech Koruna, in writing to the Alternative Currency Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. London time three (3) Business Days before the date of
the proposed Borrowing or (d) in the case of any Alternative Currency Borrowing denominated in Czech Koruna, in writing to the Alternative Currency Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. London time four (4) Business Days before the date of the
proposed Borrowing; provided that any such notice of an ABR Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e) may be given not later than 10:00 a.m., Chicago, Illinois time,
on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request signed by the Borrower. Each
such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing; 
  

 -22- 








 (ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Eurodollar Borrowing or an Alternative Currency Borrowing, in which case the
Borrower shall designate an Alternative Currency;

Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and 
 (v) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of
Section 2.06. 
 If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified for Dollar denominated Loans, then the requested
Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing or Alternative Currency Borrowing, then the 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 such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested
Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.04 Swingline Loans. 
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans in Dollars to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal
amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $10,000,000 or (ii) the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the total Commitments; provided
that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow
Swingline Loans. Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount that is not less than $100,000. 
 (b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower
shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not later than 12:00 noon, Chicago, Illinois time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the
requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each
Swingline Loan available to the Borrower to such account or accounts of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in its Borrowing Request (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in
Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the Issuing Lender) by 3:00 p.m., Chicago, Illinois time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. 
 (c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., Chicago, Illinois time, on any Business Day require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business
Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders will participate. 

  

 -23- 








 
Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding
or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and
Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any
amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted
to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as
their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid by the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any
reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof. 
 SECTION 2.05 Letters of Credit. 
 (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit in Dollars or in an Alternative Currency for its own account or the account of any of its Subsidiaries, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing
Lender, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other
agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Lender relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. 
 (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment,
renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Lender) to the Issuing Lender and the
Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and
specifying the date of 

  

 -24- 








 
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with
paragraph (c) of this Section), whether such Letter of Credit is to be issued in Dollars or an Alternative Currency, in which case specifying such Alternative Currency, the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the
beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Lender, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing
Lender’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower
shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $50,000,000 and (ii) the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total
Commitments. 
 (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of
(i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the
Termination Date; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause
(ii) above); provided that, in either case, any Letter of Credit may have an expiration date not later than twelve (12) months after the Termination Date if such Letter of Credit is cash collateralized in an amount equal to 105% of
its face value at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. 
 (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an
amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Lender or the Lenders, the Issuing Lender hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Lender,
a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely
and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Lender and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as
provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in
respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of
Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. With respect to any Lender that does not have a Commitment in the applicable
Alternative Currency, such Lender shall not acquire a participation in Letters of Credit issued in such Alternative Currency, and the provisions of Sections 2.01(b) and 2.02(b) shall apply. 
 (e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit for the Borrower’s own account or
the account of any of its Subsidiaries, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to 

  

 -25- 








 
the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago, Illinois time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is
made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 9:00 a.m., Chicago, Illinois time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 11:00
a.m., Chicago, Illinois time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not
less than $100,000, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request, in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04, that such payment, in the case of Letters of Credit issued in Dollars, be financed
with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline
Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage
thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to
Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the
Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Lenders have made
payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Lender as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any LC
Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 
 (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be
absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of
Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in
any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Lender, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to
make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or
relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or 

  

 -26- 








 
any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing
Lender from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are
caused by the Issuing Lender’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing
and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion,
either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in
strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 
 (g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Lender shall, promptly
following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of
such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Lender has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the
Issuing Lender and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. 
 (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Lender shall make any
LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to
but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, (i) for Letters of Credit issued in Dollars, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans and (ii) for Letters of Credit issued in an Alternative
Currency, the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus the Applicable Margin; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.12(e) shall apply.
Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Lender
shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment. 
 (i) Replacement of the Issuing Lender. The Issuing Lender
may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Lender and the successor Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing
Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b). From and after the effective date of any such
replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term
“Issuing 

  

 -27- 








 
Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as
the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect
to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. 
 (j) Cash
Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, the
Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph), the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the
Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash (in Dollars for Letters of Credit issued in Dollars or in the Alternative Currency in which the Letter of Credit is issued for Letters of Credit issued in Alternative
Currencies) equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due
and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative
Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other
than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and discretion of the Administrative Agent (but, if so made, shall be limited to overnight bank loans or investments generally comparable to
those described in clauses (a) through (f) of Permitted Investments) and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.
Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Lender for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement
obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.
If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

 SECTION 2.06 Funding of Borrowings. 
 (a) Each Lender shall make each Eurodollar or ABR Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Chicago, Illinois time, to the account of
the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the proposed Lenders and shall make each Alternative Currency Loan to be made by it hereunder on the dates thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds
by 12:00 noon, local time in the financial center of the applicable Alternative Currency, to the account of the Alternative Currency Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline

 -28- 








 
Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to such account or accounts of the
Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the
Administrative Agent to the Issuing Lender. 
 (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in
accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to
the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon plus any customary charges paid by the Alternative
Currency Agent to its correspondent bank, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of
the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing. If such
Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.07 Interest Elections. 
 (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing
Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing or an Alternative Currency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type
or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing or an Alternative Currency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different
portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This
Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued. 
 (b) To make an election pursuant to this
Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent or the Alternative Currency Agent, as applicable, of such election by telephone in the case of the Administrative Agent and in writing in the case of the Alternative Currency Agent by the
time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest
Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent or the Alternative Currency Agent, as applicable, of a written Interest Election Request signed by the Borrower.

  

 -29- 








 (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in
compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if
different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall
be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election
Request, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Eurodollar
Borrowing or an Alternative Currency Borrowing, in which case the Borrowers shall designate an Alternative Currency; and 
 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing or an Alternative Currency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the
term “Interest Period”. 
 If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing or an Alternative Currency
Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
 (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
 (e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing denominated in Dollars prior to
the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to deliver an Interest
Election Request with respect to Alternative Currency Loans at least three (3) Business Days prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then such Loan shall be payable at the end of such Interest Period. Notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no
outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or an Alternative Currency Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of
the Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 SECTION 2.08 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. Unless previously terminated, the
Commitments shall terminate on the Termination Date. 
 (a) The Borrower may at any time terminate or from time to time reduce the
Commitments; provided that (A) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and 

  

 -30- 








 
(B) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with
Section 2.10, the Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments. 
 (b) The Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the
effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable. Any termination or
reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. 
 SECTION 2.09 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Termination Date, and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the Termination Date; provided that
on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding. 
 (a) Each Lender shall
maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such
Lender from time to time hereunder. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of
each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and
(iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (c) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein;
provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. 
 (d) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare,
execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced
by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if
such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 
  

 -31- 








 SECTION 2.10 Prepayment of Loans. 
 (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing selected by the Borrower in whole or in part, subject to
prior notice in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. 
 (b) Each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10 shall be
applied to reduce pro rata all Loans comprising the designated Borrowing being prepaid. 
 (c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative
Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago,
Illinois time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago, Illinois time, one (1) Business Day before the date of prepayment,
(iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, Chicago, Illinois time, on the date of prepayment or (iv) in the case of prepayment of an Alternative Currency Loan, not later than 11:00 a.m. London
time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. Promptly following receipt of
any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a
Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12. 
 SECTION 2.11 Fees. 
 (a) The Borrower
shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Commitment Fee Rate on the daily amount of the unused Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date
to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on
the first such date to occur after the date hereof; provided that any commitment fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Loan Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of
a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of calculating the unused Commitment of each Lender, Swingline Loans made by or deemed made or
attributable to such Lender shall not count as usage. 
 (b) The Borrower shall pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of
each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which fee shall accrue (A) with respect to standby Letters of Credit, at the same Applicable Margin used to determine the interest rate applicable to
Eurodollar Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure for standby Letters of Credit (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but
excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date 

  

 -32- 








 
on which it ceases to have any LC Exposure and (B) with respect to commercial/documentary Letters of Credit, at one-half of the same Applicable Margin
used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure for commercial/documentary Letter of Credit (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC
Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which it ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to the Issuing
Lender a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the
Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, but in no event less than $500 as well as the Issuing Lender’s standard fees with respect to the
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be
payable on the third Business Day following such last day of such months, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any
such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Lender pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and
fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 
 (c) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter, or
otherwise separately agreed upon, between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the
dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Lender, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be
refundable under any circumstances. 
 SECTION 2.12 Interest. 
 (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing
plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (c) Each Swingline Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Swingline Rate. 
 (d) The Loans comprising each Alternative Currency Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period
in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin. 
  

 -33- 








 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount
payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, such overdue amount shall bear interest at the Default Rate. 
 (f) Accrued interest
on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (e) 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 Eurodollar 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. 
 (g) 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 conclusive absent
manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.13 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar
Borrowing: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive 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 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 the Borrower and the
Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower 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 Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing or an Alternative Currency Borrowing, as applicable, shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a
Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing, and (iii) if any Borrowing Request requests an Alternative Currency Borrowing, such request shall be deemed to be withdrawn; provided that if the circumstances
giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted. 
 SECTION 2.14
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 Lender; or 
  

 -34- 








 (ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other
condition affecting this Agreement, Eurodollar Loans or Alternative Currency 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 Eurodollar Loan or Alternative Currency Loans (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost
to such Lender or the Issuing Lender 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 Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or
otherwise), except for any such cost or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.16 shall govern) and (ii) changes in the rate or basis of imposition of any Excluded Taxes,
then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction
suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender or the Issuing Lender 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 Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’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 Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company
could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy),
then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding
company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the
calculation of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the 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 Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of
such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions
incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing
Lender’s intention to claim compensation 

  

 -35- 








 
therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof; provided, further, that no Lender shall seek compensation from the Borrower unless such Lender is actively seeking compensation from other
similarly situated borrowers as well. 
 SECTION 2.15 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of
any Eurodollar Loan or Alternative Currency 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 Eurodollar Loan or Alternative Currency Loan other
than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan or Alternative Currency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or
(d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan or Alternative Currency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event,
the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar 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 that 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 that would
accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A
certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 SECTION 2.16
Taxes. 
 (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and
without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so
that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law. 
 (b) In addition, without duplication, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

  

 -36- 








 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Lender, within 10
days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any
obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or
with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by
a Lender or the Issuing Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the Law of the
jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times
prescribed by applicable Law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. 
 (f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it
has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or
additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest
(other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower
(plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

 SECTION 2.17 Payments; Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. 
 (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder on Loans denominated in Dollars (whether of principal, interest, fees or
reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or 

  

 -37- 








 
otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, Chicago, Illinois time, on the date when due in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. The
Borrower shall make each payment of principal and interest required to be made by it hereunder on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency at the place designated by the Alternative Currency Agent at the place designated by the Alternative
Currency Agent in its notice therefor in such Alternative Currency. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes
of calculating interest thereon. All payments in Dollars shall be made to the Administrative Agent or the Alternative Currency Agent, as applicable, at its offices at 10 South Dearborn, Chicago, Illinois 60603, except payments to be made directly to
the Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The
Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day,
the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and
available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder,
ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the
parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties. 
 (b) If
any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender
receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such
greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by
the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased
and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not
be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its
Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and
agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
  

 -38- 








 (c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on
which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such
date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or
the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount
is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation. 
 (d) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c),
2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b) or 2.17(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account
of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 SECTION 2.18 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 
 (a) If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to
designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment
(i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 2.16, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and
delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee
may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from
the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of 

  

 -39- 








 
any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise,
the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
 SECTION 2.19 Increase of
Commitments. 
 (a) If no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower may at any time during the Availability Period
request one or more increases of the Commitments by notice to the Administrative Agent in writing of the amount of such proposed increase (such notice, a “Commitment Increase Notice”); provided, however, that
(i) the Commitment of any Lender may not be increased without such Lender’s consent, (ii) the minimum amount of any such increase shall be $5,000,000 and (iii) the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Commitments, after giving
effect to any such increase, shall not exceed $150,000,000. 
 (b) Following any Commitment Increase Notice, the Borrower may, in its sole
discretion, but with the consent of the Administrative Agent as to any Person that is not at such time a Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), offer to any existing Lender or to one or more additional banks or
financial institutions the opportunity to participate in all or a portion of the increased Commitments pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) below, as applicable, by notifying the Administrative Agent. Promptly and in any event within five
(5) Business Days after receipt of notice from the Borrower of its desire to offer such unsubscribed commitments to certain existing Lenders, to the additional banks or financial institutions identified therein or such existing Lenders,
additional banks or financial institutions identified by the Administrative Agent and approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify such proposed lenders of the opportunity to participate in all or a portion of such unsubscribed
portion of the increased Commitments. 
 (c) Any additional bank or financial institution that the Borrower selects to offer participation in
the increased Commitments shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a New Lender Agreement setting forth its Commitment, and upon the effectiveness of such New Lender Agreement such bank or financial institution (a “New
Lender”) shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, and the signature pages hereof shall be deemed to be amended to add
the name of such New Lender and Schedule 2.01 and the definition of Commitment in Section 1.01 hereof shall be deemed amended to increase the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders by the Commitment of such New Lender,
provided that the Commitment of any New Lender shall be an amount not less than $5,000,000. Each New Lender Agreement and Commitment Increase Agreement shall be irrevocable and shall be effective upon notice thereof by the Administrative
Agent at the same time as that of all other New Lenders or increasing Lenders. 
 (d) Any Lender that accepts an offer to it by the Borrower
to increase its Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall, in each case, execute a Commitment Increase Agreement with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, whereupon such Lender shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of
this Agreement with respect to the full amount of its Commitment as so increased, 

  

 -40- 








 
and Schedule 2.01 and the definition of Commitment in Section 1.01 hereof shall be deemed to be amended to reflect such increase. Any
Commitment Increase Agreement shall be irrevocable and shall be effective upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent at the same time as that of all other New Lenders and increasing Lenders. 
 (e) The effectiveness of any New Lender Agreement or Commitment Increase Agreement shall be contingent upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such
corporate resolutions of the Borrower and legal opinions of counsel to the Borrower as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request with respect thereto, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
Once a New Lender Agreement or Commitment Increase Agreement becomes effective, the Administrative Agent shall reflect the increases in the Commitments effected by such agreements by appropriate entries in the Register. 
 (f) If any bank or financial institution becomes a New Lender pursuant to Section 2.19(c) or any Lender’s Commitment is increased
pursuant to Section 2.19(d), additional Loans made on or after the effectiveness thereof (the “Re-Allocation Date”) shall be made pro rata based on their respective Commitments in effect on or after such Re-Allocation
Date (except to the extent that any such pro rata borrowings would result in any Lender making an aggregate principal amount of Loans in excess of its Commitment, in which case such excess amount will be allocated to, and made by, such New Lender
and/or Lenders with such increased Commitments to the extent of, and pro rata based on, their respective Commitments), and continuations of Loans outstanding on such Re-Allocation Date shall be effected by repayment of such Loans on the last day of
the Interest Period applicable thereto or, in the case of ABR Loan, on the date of such increase, and the making of new Loans of the same Type pro rata based on the respective Commitments in effect on and after such Re-Allocation Date. 

(g) If on any Re-Allocation Date there is an unpaid principal amount of Eurodollar Loans, such Eurodollar Loans shall remain outstanding with the
respective holders thereof until the expiration of their respective Interest Periods (unless the Borrower elects to prepay any thereof in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement), and interest on and repayments of such Eurodollar
Loans will be paid thereon to the respective Lenders holding such Eurodollar Loans pro rata based on the respective principal amounts thereof outstanding. 
 (h) Upon the effectiveness of any Commitment Increase Agreement, Section 2.09(b), Schedule 2.01 and other pertinent sections hereof shall be automatically and proportionately modified to reflect the
increased Commitment, the exact figures to be agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and all references to the Commitments shall be deemed amended mutatis mutandis. 
 (i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any New Lender must have the ability to fund Alternative Currencies with respect to which there are outstanding Loans
and all Alternative Currencies described in (a) and (b) of the definition of Alternative Currency.

 ARTICLE III 
 Representations and Warranties 
 The Borrower for itself and for each of its Subsidiaries represents
and warrants to the Lenders that: 
 SECTION 3.01 Organization. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (i) is duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing (to the extent such concept is applicable in the relevant jurisdiction) under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, except where the failure to be in good standing could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) has the requisite power and authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction as it is presently being conducted, and (iii) is duly qualified or licensed to conduct business and is in good
standing (to the extent such concept is applicable in the relevant jurisdiction) in each such jurisdiction other than jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (as of the
Effective Date the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are qualified in each jurisdiction listed in Schedule 3.01 to the Disclosure Letter). Such jurisdictions are the only jurisdictions in which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries are required
to be so qualified or licensed except those jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify or be in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the Effective Date, no
proceeding to dissolve any Obligor is pending or, to the knowledge of a Responsible Officer, threatened. 
 SECTION 3.02 Authority
Relative to this Agreement. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has the power and authority to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The Transactions have
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership or limited liability company action on the part of each Obligor that is a party thereto. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been duly and validly executed and delivered by
each Obligor party thereto and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Obligor, enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with their respective terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and to the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding at Law or in equity). 

SECTION 3.03 No Violation. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.03 to the Disclosure Letter, the Transactions will not: 
 (a) result in a breach of the articles or certificate of incorporation, bylaws, partnership agreement or limited liability company agreement of the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any resolution adopted by the Board of Directors, shareholders, partners, members or managers of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; 
 (b) result in the imposition of any Lien on any of the Equity Interests of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective material assets
other than the Liens created under the Loan Documents; 
  

 -42- 








 (c) result in, or constitute an event that, with the passage of time or giving of notice or both, would
be, a breach, violation or default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, prepayment or acceleration) under (i) any material agreement to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which its properties or
assets may be bound or (ii) any material Governmental Approval held by, or relating to the business of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; 
 (d) require the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to obtain any consent, waiver, approval, exemption, authorization or other action of, or make any filing with or give any notice to, any Person except (i) such
as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect or (ii) filings necessary to perfect or assign Liens created under the Loan Documents; or

shareholders’ equity for the fiscal year then ended, the notes accompanying such Financial Statements, and the report of Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent certified public accountants and (ii) the unaudited consolidated balance
sheet of the Borrower as of March 31, 2008, and the related statements of operations, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity for the period then ended. The Financial Statements fairly present in all material respects the financial
condition of the Borrower as of their respective dates and the results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower for the periods ended on such dates in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis for the periods covered thereby, subject,
in the case of interim financial statements, to absence of footnotes and normal year-end adjustments (the effect of which will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect). Since December 31, 2007, there has been no
change that would have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.05 No Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.05 to
the Disclosure Letter, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has any liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether known or unknown, and whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) except for (i) liabilities or
obligations reflected or reserved against in the financial statements most recently delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.01(g) or Section 5.01, as applicable, (ii) current liabilities incurred in the ordinary
course of business since the date of such financial statements, (iii) liabilities or obligations that are not required to be included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, (iv) liabilities or obligations arising under

the failure to be in compliance, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and (ii) as of the Effective Date, none of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has received any
written notice of, nor does any Responsible Officer have knowledge of, the assertion by any Governmental Authority or other Person of any such violation or of any obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to undertake any material
remedial action under any Law. 
 SECTION 3.08 Compliance with Agreements. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.08 to the Disclosure

ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such property for its intended purpose. All such properties and assets are free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens and are not, in the case of real property, subject to
any rights of way, building use restrictions, exceptions, variances, reservations, or limitations of any nature except those that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except to the extent it could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (i) are in good operating order, condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and (ii) constitute all of the
property that is required for the business and operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as presently conducted.

clear of any Liens other than Permitted Liens. 
 (b) To the knowledge of the Responsible Officers, except as set forth in Schedule 3.10 to
the Disclosure Letter, the conduct by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries of their respective businesses as presently conducted does not conflict with, infringe on, or otherwise violate any copyright, trade secret, or patent rights of any Person

which adequate reserve have been made or provided therefor in accordance with GAAP. There is no proposed tax assessment against the Borrower or any Subsidiary that would, if made, have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither any Obligor nor any
Subsidiary thereof is a party to any tax sharing agreement as of the date of this Agreement.

any facility owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries at any time. 
 SECTION 3.13 Labor Matters. As of the

of its Subsidiaries is bound. 
 SECTION 3.14 Investment Status. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is an

between or among the Borrower and its Subsidiaries; provided such transactions are no less favorable to the Obligors than could be obtained on an arm’s-length basis from unrelated third parties; (d) Investments permitted by

other arrangement that prohibits, restricts or imposes any condition upon (a) the ability of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to create, incur or permit to exist any Lien upon any of its property or assets, or (b) the ability of any
Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries to pay dividends or other distributions with respect to any shares of its capital stock (to the extent the holder of such shares is an Obligor) or to make or repay loans or advances to any Obligor or to guarantee
Indebtedness of any Obligor; provided that (i) the foregoing shall not apply to restrictions and conditions imposed by Law or by this Agreement, (ii) the foregoing shall not apply to restrictions and conditions existing on the date
hereof identified on Schedule 6.09 to the Disclosure Letter (but shall apply to any extension or renewal of, or any amendment or modification expanding the scope of, any such restriction or condition), (iii) the foregoing shall not apply to
customary restrictions and conditions contained in agreements relating to the sale of assets or a Subsidiary of the Borrower pending such sale, provided such restrictions and conditions apply only to the assets or the Subsidiary that is to be sold

to impair the ability of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to meet their ongoing obligations. 
 SECTION 6.10 Business Acquisitions.
None of the Obligors nor any of their Subsidiaries will make any Business Acquisitions; provided that the Obligors or any Subsidiary thereof may make Business Acquisitions so long as (a) the sum of the aggregate consideration paid for

by a Financial Officer of the Borrower, certifying as to compliance with the requirements of the applicable preceding Section 6.10(a) through Section 6.10(d) and containing the calculations required in this
Section 6.10. The consummation of each Business Acquisition shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all conditions thereto have been satisfied and that same is permitted in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, which representation and warranty shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty for all purposes hereunder. 
 SECTION
6.11 Constitutive Documents. None of the Obligors nor any of their Subsidiaries will amend its charter or by-laws or other constitutive documents in any manner which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the rights
of the Lenders under this Agreement or their ability to enforce the same; provided, however, the Obligors or any Subsidiary shall be permitted after the date hereof to amend its constitutive documents for the purpose of changing its
jurisdiction of organization so long as the Administrative Agent is given thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice of such change. 
 SECTION 6.12 Sales and Leasebacks. Except for transactions permitted by Section 6.01(e), none of the Obligors nor any of their Subsidiaries shall become or remain liable as lessee or as a guarantor or other surety with
respect to any lease of any property (whether real, personal or mixed), whether now owned or hereafter acquired, that (i) the Obligors or any of their Subsidiaries have sold or transferred or are to sell or transfer to any other Person (other
than the Obligors) or (ii) such Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries intends to use for substantially the same purpose as any other property that has been or is to be sold or transferred by the Obligors or any of the other Subsidiaries to any

 -65- 








 
writing, in each case other than as a result of action or inaction of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including without limitation the expiration of
an UCC financing statements or other instruments necessary to perfect the Administrative Agent’s Lien in the Collateral; or 
 (o) a
Change in Control occurs; 
 then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of this
Section 7.01), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower, take any or all of the following actions, at the
same or different times: (i) cease making any further Loans, (ii) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, (iii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in
part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all
fees and other Obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; and in case of any event
described in clause (h) or (i) of this Section 7.01, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other Obligations of

contained in Section 7.01, upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent in such amounts and at such times as contemplated by Section 2.05(j). 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 The Administrative Agent

 Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 
 The Lender serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not
the Administrative Agent hereunder. 
  

 -66- 








 The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein
and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is
required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02), and (c) except as expressly set
forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or
Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any
statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of
the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any
condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
 The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it
to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for
relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance
with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 
 The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its
rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related
Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the
syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
  

 -67- 








 Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this
paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the approval of Borrower, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and shall not be required during the existence of an Event of Default, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be
a bank with an office in Houston, Texas, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same
as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect
for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender
and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder. 
 The Lenders, jointly and severally, shall indemnity the Administrative Agent and each of its Related Parties
(each such Person being called an “Agent Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Agent Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any
counsel for any Agent Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Agent Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of any indemnity given by the Administrative Agent in favor of any individual Lender or any other third party
in connection with any account control agreement or other similar document related to or in connection with (i) this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective
obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) any actual claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or
any other theory and regardless of whether any Agent Indemnitee is a party thereto; and whether or nor caused by the ordinary, sole or contributory negligence of any Agent Indemnitee; provided, further that such indemnity granted


  

 -68- 








 
by the Lenders pursuant to this Article VIII shall not, as to any Agent Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Indemnitee or such Agent Indemnitee’s Related Parties. 
 ARTICLE IX 
 Guarantee 
 SECTION 9.01 The Guarantee. Each Guarantor hereby jointly, severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the full and punctual payment (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) of the
principal of and interest on each Loan, and the full and punctual payment of all other Obligations payable by the Borrower or any other Guarantor under the Loan Documents. Upon failure by the Borrower or any other Guarantor to pay punctually any
such amount, each Guarantor shall forthwith on demand pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. This Guarantee is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. The Lenders shall
not be required to exhaust any right or remedy or take any action against the Borrower, the Guarantors or any other Person or any Collateral. The Guarantor agrees that, as between the Guarantor and the Lenders, the Obligations may be declared to be
due and payable for the purposes of this Guarantee notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition which may prevent, delay or vitiate any declaration as regards the Borrower and that in the event of a declaration or attempted declaration,
the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purposes of this Guaranty. 
 SECTION 9.02 Guaranty
Unconditional. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by: 
 (a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Guarantor under the Loan
Documents, by operation of law or otherwise; 
 (b) any modification, amendment or waiver of or supplement to the Loan Documents; 

(c) any release, impairment, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for any obligation of the Borrower or any other Guarantor
under the Loan Documents; 
 (d) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any other Guarantor, or any
insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower, any other Guarantor or their respective assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Guarantor contained in the
Loan Documents; 
  

 -69- 








 (e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Guarantor may have at any time against
the Borrower, any other Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate
suit or compulsory counterclaim; 
 (f) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower or any other Guarantor for any
reason of the Loan Documents, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Borrower or any other Guarantor of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount payable by the Borrower or any
other Guarantor under the Loan Documents; or 
 (g) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, any other
Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

 Furthermore, notwithstanding that the Borrower may not be obligated to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders for interest and/or
attorneys’ fees and expenses on, or in connection with, any Obligations from and after the Petition Date (as hereinafter defined) as a result of the provisions of the federal bankruptcy law or otherwise, Obligations for which the Guarantors
shall be obligated shall include interest accruing on the Obligations at the Default Rate from and after the date on which the Borrower files for protection under the federal bankruptcy laws or from and after the date on which an involuntary
proceeding is filed against the Borrower under the federal bankruptcy laws (herein collectively referred to as the “Petition Date”) and all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders from and after the Petition Date in connection with the Obligations. 
 SECTION 9.03 Discharge Only upon Payment in Full;
Reinstatement In Certain Circumstances. Each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments shall have terminated and the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable by
the Obligors under the Loan Documents shall have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount payable by the Obligors under the Loan Documents is rescinded or must be otherwise
restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Obligor or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had been due but not
made at such time. The Guarantors jointly and severally agree to indemnify each Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by such Lender in connection with such rescission or
restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, other than any
costs or expenses resulting from the bad faith or willful misconduct of such Lender. 
 SECTION 9.04 Waiver by Each Guarantor.
Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, diligence, presentment, demand, protest, notice of acceleration or the intent to accelerate and any other notice not provided for in this Article, as well as any requirement that at any time any
action be taken by any Person against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any other Person. 
  

 -70- 








 SECTION 9.05 Subrogation. Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and the holders of the Loans against the Borrower in respect of any amounts paid by such Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX; provided that such Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to
receive any payments arising out of or based upon such right of subrogation until the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other sums at any time payable by the Borrower under the Loan Documents shall have been paid in full. If any amount
is paid to any Guarantor on account of subrogation rights under this Guaranty at any time when all the Obligations have not been indefeasibly paid in full, the amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and shall be promptly paid
to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured or absolute or contingent, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.06 Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any Obligor under the Loan Documents is stayed
upon insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by each Guarantor hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative
Agent made at the request of the requisite proportion of the Lenders specified in Article X of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.07
Limit of Liability. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law. 
 SECTION 9.08 Release upon Sale. Upon any sale of
any Guarantor permitted by this Agreement, such Guarantor (a) be released from its obligations as a Guarantor hereunder, (b) all Liens securing such Guaranty shall automatically be terminated and released and (c) the Administrative
Agent will, at the expense of said Guarantor, execute and deliver such documents as are reasonably necessary to evidence said releases and terminations, following written request from the Borrower and receipt by the Administrative Agent of a
certificate from the Borrower certifying no Default or Event of Default exists. 
 SECTION 9.09 Benefit to Guarantor. Each Guarantor
acknowledges that the Loans made to the Borrower may be, in part, re-loaned to, or used for the benefit of, such Guarantor and its Affiliates, that each Guarantor, because of the utilization of the proceeds of the Loans, will receive a direct
benefit from the Loans and that, without the Loans, such Guarantor would not be able to continue its operations and carry on its business as presently conducted.

	 	(vii)	if to any other Lender, to it at its address (or telecopy number) set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire. 

 (b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved
by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower
may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or
communications. 
 (c) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to
the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt. 
 SECTION 10.02 Waivers; Amendments. 
 (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any
abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the
Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower or Guarantors therefrom shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at
the time. 
 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or
agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent 

  

 -74- 








 
with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written
consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby,
(iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled
date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.17(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required
thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section 10.02(b) or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or
percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) release or contractually subordinate all or a material
portion of the Collateral without the written consent of each Lender, provided, that nothing herein shall prohibit the Administrative Agent from releasing any Collateral, or require the consent of the other Lenders for such release, in
respect of items sold, leased, transferred or otherwise disposed of to the extent such transaction is permitted or not prohibited hereunder, or (vii) release all or substantially all of the Guarantees (other than in connection with any
transactions permitted by this Agreement) without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the
Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 10.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 
 (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel and consultants for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein, due diligence undertaken by the Administrative Agent with respect to the financing contemplated by this Agreement, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of
the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of one primary law
firm as counsel, local counsel as needed and consultants for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement during the existence of a
Default or an Event of Default (whether or not any waiver or forbearance has been granted in respect thereof), including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such
out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. 
  

 -75- 








 (b) THE BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING LENDER AND EACH LENDER, AND EACH
RELATED PARTY OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING PERSONS (EACH SUCH PERSON BEING CALLED AN “INDEMNITEE”) AGAINST, AND HOLD EACH INDEMNITEE HARMLESS FROM, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES AND RELATED EXPENSES, INCLUDING THE
FEES, CHARGES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY COUNSEL FOR ANY INDEMNITEE, INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF (I) THE EXECUTION OR DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY AGREEMENT OR
INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, THE PERFORMANCE BY THE PARTIES HERETO OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, (II) ANY LOAN OR LETTER OF CREDIT OR THE USE OF
THE PROCEEDS THEREFROM (INCLUDING ANY REFUSAL BY THE ISSUING LENDER TO HONOR A DEMAND FOR PAYMENT UNDER A LETTER OF CREDIT IF THE DOCUMENTS PRESENTED IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH DEMAND DO NOT STRICTLY COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT),
(III) ANY ACTUAL OR ALLEGED PRESENCE OR RELEASE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON OR FROM ANY PROPERTY OWNED OR OPERATED BY THE BORROWER OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES, OR ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITY RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THE BORROWER OR ANY OF ITS
SUBSIDIARIES, OR (IV) ANY ACTUAL CLAIM, LITIGATION, INVESTIGATION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY INDEMNITEE IS A PARTY THERETO; AND WHETHER OR NOT
CAUSED BY THE ORDINARY, SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF ANY INDEMNITEE, PROVIDED FURTHER THAT SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL NOT, AS TO ANY INDEMNITEE, BE AVAILABLE TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR RELATED EXPENSES
RESULTED FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNITEE OR SUCH INDEMNITEES RELATED PARTIES. 
 (c) To the extent that
the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount;
provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender in its
capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposure and unused Commitments at the time. 
 (d) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Borrower and each Guarantor shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on
any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
  

 -76- 








 (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable no later than ten (10) Business Days from
demand therefor. 
 SECTION 10.04 Successors and Assigns. 
 (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this
Section 10.04. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing
Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and
the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set
forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior
written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: 
 (A) the Borrower, provided that no
consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to an Affiliate of a Lender or if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and 
 (B) the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, provided that no such consent shall be required for an
assignment of any Revolving Loan Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment; 
 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 
 (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is
delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 and after giving effect to such assignment, the assigning Lender Commitment or Loans shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing; 
  

 -77- 








 (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; 
 (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $5,000; 
 (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may include
material non-public information about the Borrowers or Guarantors and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with such assignee’s compliance procedures and
applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws; 
 (E) prior to any assignment to an assignee that is not a
Lender, the Lender making such an assignment shall first offer the assignment to the other Lenders who shall have five (5) Business Days to purchase the assignment on the same terms as are proposed to such non-Lender assignee; and 

(F) notwithstanding the foregoing, any assignee must have the ability to fund Alternative Currencies with respect to which there are
outstanding Loans and all Alternative Currencies which are described in (a) and (b) of the definition of Alternative Currency. 
 Section 10.04(b)(ii)(B) shall not be construed to prohibit assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the
assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 10.03). Any assignment or transfer
by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in
accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. 
  

 -78- 








 (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall
maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing
to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders may treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Lender
and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (v) Upon its receipt of a duly
completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to
in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the
Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 
 (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all
or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such participations must be approved by the Borrower so long as no
Default has occurred and is continuing, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, (B) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (C) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations and (D) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso
to Section 10.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the
same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as
though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender. 
 (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation
sold to such Participant. A Participant that would be a 

  

 -79- 








 
Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation
sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.16(e) as though it were a Lender. 
 (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment
to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of
its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 SECTION 10.05 Survival. All
covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower and each Guarantor herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon
by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and
notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force
and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired
or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 10.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the
repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 
 SECTION 10.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and may be delivered in original, electronic or facsimile form (and by different parties hereto on
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent
constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in
Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of
each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy
or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 10.07
Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
  

 -80- 








 SECTION 10.08 Right of Setoff. Each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any
time that an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held
and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower and each Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this
Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights
and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. 
 SECTION 10.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to
Service of Process; Agent for Service of Process. 
 (a) This Agreement and the Loan Documents shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the Law of the State of New York without regard to any choice-of-law provisions that would require the application of the Law of another jurisdiction provided, to the extent any of the Security Documents recite that they are governed by
the Law of another jurisdiction, or any action or event taken thereunder (such as foreclosure of any Collateral) requires application of or compliance with the Law of another jurisdiction, such provisions and concepts shall be controlling.

 (b) The Borrower and Guarantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of the District Courts of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may
be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or Guarantors or their properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (c) The Borrower and
Guarantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating
to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court. 
  

 -81- 








 (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for
notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 
 (e) THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY APPOINTS C T CORPORATION (THE “PROCESS AGENT”) WITH AN OFFICE ON THE DATE HEREOF AT 111 EIGHTH
AVENUE, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10011, AS ITS AGENT TO RECEIVE ON BEHALF OF IT SERVICE OF COPIES OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT AND ANY OTHER PROCESS WHICH MAY BE SERVED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING. SUCH SERVICE MAY BE MADE BY MAILING BY CERTIFIED
MAIL A COPY OF SUCH PROCESS TO THE BORROWER IN CARE OF THE PROCESS AGENT AT THE PROCESS AGENT’S ABOVE ADDRESS, WITH A COPY TO SUCH PERSON AT ITS ADDRESS SPECIFIED HEREIN AND THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AUTHORIZES AND DIRECTS THE PROCESS
AGENT TO RECEIVE SUCH SERVICE ON ITS BEHALF. AS AN ALTERNATIVE METHOD OF SERVICE, THE BORROWER ALSO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING BY CERTIFIED MAIL OF COPIES OF SUCH
PROCESS TO IT AT ITS ADDRESS SPECIFIED HEREIN. THE BORROWER AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.

 SECTION 10.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT
IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO
(A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 
 SECTION 10.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be
taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 
 SECTION 10.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Lender and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including
accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to

 -82- 








 
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any
remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee
of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to
the Borrower and its obligations under the Loan Documents, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or
(ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information
received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower. Any
Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such
Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
 SECTION 10.13 Interest Rate Limitation.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or reimbursement obligation, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan or reimbursement
obligation under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such
Loan or reimbursement obligation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or reimbursement obligation hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum
Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or reimbursement obligation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and
Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans, reimbursement obligations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount shall have been received by such Lender.

Pub. L. 107 56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other

 EXHIBIT 1.1F 
 MANDATORY COST 
  

	1.	The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial
Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank. 

  

	2.	On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Alternative Currency Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional
Cost Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Alternative Currency Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion
to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Alternative Currency Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum. The Alternative Currency Agent will, at the request of the Borrower or any Lender, deliver to the
Borrower or such Lender as the case may be, a statement setting forth the calculation of any Mandatory Cost. 

  

	3.	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a facility office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Alternative Currency
Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Alternative Currency Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in all Alternative Currency Loans
made from that facility office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that facility office. 

  

	4.	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a facility office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Alternative Currency Agent as follows:


 in relation to a Loan in any Alternative Currency (other than pounds sterling) 
  

			
	

	 	per cent. per annum.

 Where: 
  

	 	E	is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Alternative Currency Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of
charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Alternative Currency Agent pursuant to paragraph 6 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000. 

  

	5.	For the purposes of this Exhibit: 

  

	 	(a)	“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in
respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits; 

  

 Credit Agreement 
 Exhibit 1.1F-1 









	 	(b)	“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required
pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); 

  

	 	(c)	“Reference Bank” means the Alternative Currency Agent or any other bank or financial institution appointed as such by the Alternative Currency Agent under this
Agreement in consultation with the Borrower; and 

  

	 	(d)	“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules. 

  

	6.	If requested by the Alternative Currency Agent, the Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Alternative
Currency Agent, the rate of charge payable by the Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by the
Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to the Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of the Reference Bank. 

  

	7.	Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Alternative Currency Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation,
each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender: 

  

	 	(a)	the jurisdiction of its facility office; and 

  

	 	(b)	any other information that the Alternative Currency Agent may reasonably require for such purpose. 

  

	8.	Each Lender shall promptly notify the Alternative Currency Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph. 

  

	9.	The rates of charge of the Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Alternative Currency Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to
paragraphs 6 and 7 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Alternative Currency Agent to the contrary, each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its
jurisdiction of incorporation with a facility office in the same jurisdiction as its facility office. 

  

	10.	The Alternative Currency Agent shall have no liability to any Person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be
entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or the Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above is true and correct in all respects. 

  

 Credit Agreement 
 Exhibit 1.1F-2 









	11.	The Alternative Currency Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each
Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above. 

  

	12.	Any determination by the Alternative Currency Agent pursuant to this Exhibit in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender
shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties to this Agreement. 

  

	13.	The Alternative Currency Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Borrower and the Lenders, determine and notify to all parties hereto any amendments which are
required to be made to this Exhibit in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other
authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.
