SECTION 3. Concerning the Lenders, the Commitments and the Loans under the Existing Credit Agreement. 

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, on the Restatement Effective Date,
(i) each New Revolving Lender shall become, and each Consenting Revolving Lender shall continue to be, a “Lender” under the Restated Credit Agreement and (ii) each New Revolving Lender shall have, and each Consenting Revolving

Revolving Lender agrees to assume from JPMorgan the portion of such excess amount (together with a proportionate principal amount of the Loans and participations in Letters of Credit (in the case of the Loans and participations in Letters of Credit,
at a purchase price equal to par)) such that, immediately after such assignment and assumption, such Consenting Revolving Lender holds Commitments in an amount equal to the amount set forth opposite such Consenting Revolving Lender’s name on
Schedule I hereto and (ii) each New Revolving Lender, if any, set forth on Schedule I hereto agrees to assume from JPMorgan Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to the amount set forth opposite such New Revolving Lender’s

 (a)    Effective as of the Restatement Effective Date, the Existing

(b)    The aggregate amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement on the Restatement

 (b)    The Administrative Agent
shall have received such documents and certificates as the Administrative Agent or its counsel may reasonably request relating to the organization, existence and good standing (or equivalent concepts in any applicable jurisdiction) of Holdings, the
Borrower and the other Loan Parties, the authorization of the transactions contemplated by this Amendment and any other legal matters relating to Holdings, the Borrower and the other Loan Parties or this Amendment, all in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

all material respects (or in all respects, as applicable) as of such earlier date. 
 (e)    The Administrative Agent
shall have received, at least one Business Day prior to the Restatement Effective Date, all documentation and other information required by bank regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules
and regulations, including, without limitation, the USA PATRIOT Act and 31 C.F.R. § 10.10.230 (the “Beneficial Ownership Regulation”), that has been requested at least ten Business Days prior to the Restatement Effective Date.

 (f)    The Administrative Agent shall have received, to the extent invoiced at least three Business Days prior to the

case required to be paid or reimbursed by Holdings or the Borrower on the Restatement Effective Date under any agreement entered into by any of the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the one hand, and Holdings or the Borrower,
on the other hand (including the fees and expenses referenced in Section 12 hereof).

complete and correct in all respects. 
 SECTION 7. Post-Amendment and Restatement Effective Date Matters. Within 90 days after the
Restatement Effective Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may permit) with respect to any Mortgage in the United States and Brazil, the Administrative Agent shall have received (i) an amendment thereof
(each, a “Mortgage Amendment”), setting forth such changes as are reasonably necessary to reflect that the lien securing the Secured Obligations encumbers such Material Real Property subject to the Mortgage and to further grant,
preserve, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the security interest thereby created and perfected, and (ii) an opinion by local counsel to the applicable Loan Party, as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent,
regarding the enforceability of such Mortgage Amendment each of the foregoing being in all respects reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

contemplated by Section 3 hereof), the Administrative Agent and each Issuer shall have been received by the Administrative Agent. This Amendment may not be amended nor may any provision hereof be waived except pursuant to a writing signed by
each of the parties hereto. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a
signature page of this Amendment by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Amendment. 

SECTION 9. No Novation. 

  
 6 













 (a)    Until this Amendment becomes effective in accordance with its
terms and the Restatement Effective Date shall have occurred, the Existing Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected hereby. On and after the Restatement Effective Date, all obligations of the Borrower under
the Existing Credit Agreement shall become obligations of the Borrower under the Restated Credit Agreement and the provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be superseded by the provisions of the Restated Credit Agreement. 

(b)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Amendment shall not extinguish the Loans outstanding under
the Existing Credit Agreement or any other obligations for the payment of money outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement or the Guarantee Agreement (including the Parallel Debts (as defined in the Guarantee Agreement)) or release the Liens
granted under or the priority of any Security Document or any security therefor. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the Loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement or any other obligations for the
payment of money outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement or the Guarantee Agreement (including the Parallel Debts), in each case which shall remain outstanding on and after the Restatement Effective Date as modified hereby. Nothing implied
herein shall be construed as a release or other discharge of Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries under any Loan Document from any of its obligations and liabilities as “Holdings”, a “Borrower”, a
“Grantor” or a “Loan Party” under the Existing Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any provision of this Amendment, the provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.14, 2.18 and 9.05 of the Existing Credit Agreement as in
effect immediately prior to the Restatement Effective Date will continue to be effective as to all matters arising out of or in any way related to facts or events existing or occurring prior to the Restatement Effective Date. 

(c)    On and after the Restatement Effective Date, any reference in the Loan Documents to the Existing Credit Agreement
shall mean the Restated Credit Agreement. 
 (d)    This Amendment is a Loan Document. 

(e)    For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that, to the extent that any amendment made to the Existing
Credit Agreement in accordance with Section 4 of this Amendment shall constitute a novation within the meaning of Article 1271 et seq. of the Luxembourg Civil Code, then, notwithstanding any such novation, all the rights (including in relation
to Liens) of the Secured Parties against the Loan Parties shall be maintained in accordance with Article 1278 of the Luxembourg Civil Code. 

SECTION 10. Applicable Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a)    THIS AMENDMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY,
DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT AND THE  

  
 7 













 
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD
CALL FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. 
 (b)    EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY AGREES AS SET
FORTH IN SECTIONS 9.11 AND 9.15 OF THE EXISTING CREDIT AGREEMENT AS IF SUCH SECTION WERE SET FORTH IN FULL HEREIN. 

(c)    Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section, if any Dutch Loan Party is represented by an attorney in
connection with the signing and/or execution of this Amendment (including by way of accession to this Amendment), any other Loan Document, or any other agreement, deed or document referred to in, or made pursuant to, any Loan Document, it is hereby
expressly acknowledged and accepted by the other parties to this Amendment that the existence and extent of the attorney’s authority and the effects of the attorney’s exercise or purported exercise of his or her authority shall be governed
by the laws of the Netherlands. 
 SECTION 11. Notices. All notices hereunder shall be given in accordance with the provisions of
Section 9.01 of the Restated Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 12. Fees and Expenses. 

(a)    The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, (i) for the account of each Consenting Revolving
Lender, a fee equal to 0.075% of the lesser of (x) the aggregate Commitments of such Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement (such Lender’s “Existing Commitment”) and (y) the aggregate Commitments of such Lender
after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby (the “New Commitment Amount”) and (ii) with respect to (A) each New Revolving Lender, a fee equal to 0.250% of such Lender’s New Commitment Amount and
(B) each Consenting Revolving Lender but only to the extent such Consenting Lender’s New Commitment Amount exceeds its Existing Commitment, a fee equal to 0.250% of such excess. The fees payable pursuant to this Section 12(a) will be
paid in dollars in immediately available funds on the Restatement Effective Date. The third paragraph of that certain fee letter dated November 1, 2018, among the Borrower and JPMorgan shall be superceded by this Section 12(a). 

(b)    Each Consenting Lender that has separately notified the Borrower that it has agreed to waive payment of the break
funding costs required to be paid under Section 2.14 of the Existing Credit Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated by Section 3 hereof hereby agrees to such waiver. 

(c)    The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, the Syndication Agent, any Co-Documentation Agent and their respective Affiliates, for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses in connection with
this Amendment to the extent required under Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement.

statements. 
 (d)    For purposes of Section 6.01 (Indebtedness; Certain Equity Securities), the amount of

applicable; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than Dollars, and such refinancing would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if
calculated at the applicable Exchange Rate on the date of such refinancing, such Dollar-denominated restrictions shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the sum of
(i) the outstanding or committed principal amount, as applicable, of such Indebtedness being refinanced plus (ii) the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection

Rate after the last time such basket was utilized, such basket will not be deemed to have been exceeded solely as a result of such fluctuations in the applicable Exchange Rate.

 SECTION
1.04.    Rounding-Off. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, set up appropriate rounding off mechanisms or otherwise round-off
amounts hereunder to the nearest higher or lower amount in whole Dollars or Euros, as applicable, or cents thereof, to ensure amounts owing by any party hereunder or that otherwise need to be calculated or converted hereunder are expressed in whole
Dollars or Euros, as applicable, or in whole cents thereof, as may be necessary or appropriate. 
 SECTION

of a Subsidiary or division or line of business of a Subsidiary outside the ordinary course of business occurs, or during which any Subsidiary Designation occurs, for purposes of determining compliance with the covenants contained in
Sections 6.12 (Interest Expense Coverage Ratio) and 6.13 (Leverage Ratio) or otherwise for purposes of determining the Leverage Ratio, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Cash Interest Expense, calculations with respect to such
period shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis. 
 SECTION 1.06.    Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest
rate on LIBOR Loans is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term
borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE
Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that, commencing in 2022, the London
interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on LIBOR Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are
currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. In the event that the London interbank offered rate is no longer available or in certain other circumstances as set forth in
Section 2.09(b) of this Agreement, such Section 2.09(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.09 (Alternate Rate of
Interest), in advance of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility to the Lenders for, and shall not have any liability
to the Lenders with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto,
or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate, as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.09(b), will be
similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). At the commencement of each Interest Period for any LIBOR
Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount which, in the case of any LIBOR Borrowing denominated in Dollars, is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $25,000,000, and in the case of any LIBOR Borrowing
denominated in Euros, is an integral multiple of €1,000,000 and not less than €25,000,000; provided that a LIBOR Borrowing that results from a continuation of an outstanding LIBOR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is
equal to such outstanding Borrowing. At the time that each Base Rate Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $50,000,000 (or an aggregate principal
amount equal to (i) the remaining balance of the applicable Commitments or (ii) the amount that is required to finance the reimbursement of a Reimbursement Obligation as contemplated by Section 2.22(h), as the case may be). 

(b)    Each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of LIBOR Loans or Base Rate Loans, as the Borrower may request pursuant
to Section 2.03 (Notice of Borrowings); provided, however, that Borrowings denominated in Euros shall be comprised entirely of LIBOR Loans. Each Lender may at its option fulfill its Commitment with respect to any
Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided, however, that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance


  
 69 













 
with the terms of this Agreement or any of the Borrower’s rights thereunder. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the
Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing which, if made, would result in an aggregate of more than ten (or such greater number as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) separate LIBOR Loans in each currency (Dollars or Euros)
of any Lender being made to the Borrower and outstanding under this Agreement at any one time. For purposes of the foregoing, Loans having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate
Loans. 
 (c)    Each Lender shall make each Loan that is (A) a Base Rate Loan or (B) a LIBOR Loan, to be made
by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent in New York, New York, not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter credit the
amounts so received to the general deposit account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent, or such other account as the Borrower may designate in a written notice to the Administrative Agent, or, in the case of Base Rate Loans made
to finance the reimbursement of a Reimbursement Obligation as provided in Section 2.22(h), to the applicable Issuer, in each case as specified by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing request. If such Loans are not made on such date because
any condition precedent to a Borrowing herein specified shall not have been met or waived, the Administrative Agent shall return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender prior to the time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the
Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this paragraph (c) and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the
extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the
time to (A) in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, Base Rate Loans, and (B) in the case of Loans denominated in Euros, LIBOR Loans and (ii) in the case of such Lender, (A) in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, the
greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of Loans denominated in Euros, the rate determined by the Administrative Agent
to be the cost to it of funding such amount (in the case of each of clause (A) and (B) of this clause (ii), which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the
Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such
corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. 

  
 70 













 (d)    The occurrence of any Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender shall
not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make a Loan or payment on such date but no such other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Defaulting Lender to make a Loan or payment required under this Agreement. 

(e)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect
to convert to or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after any Maturity Date applicable thereto. 

SECTION 2.03.    Notice of Borrowings. In order to request a Borrowing, a Borrower shall give written notice
by fax or email (in .pdf or .tif format) (a) in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing, to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day of such proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of a LIBOR
Borrowing, to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., Local Time, three Business Days before such proposed Borrowing. Such notice shall be irrevocable, and shall in each case refer to this Agreement and specify (i) whether such
Borrowing is to be denominated in Dollars or Euros; (ii) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, whether such Borrowing is to be a LIBOR Borrowing or a Base Rate Borrowing; (iii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a
Business Day) and the amount thereof; (iv) if such Borrowing is to be a LIBOR Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto; (v) the location and number of the account of the Borrower to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall
comply with the requirements of Section 2.02(c), or, in the case of any Base Rate Borrowing requested to finance the reimbursement of a Reimbursement Obligation as provided in Section 2.22(h), the identity of the applicable Issuer; and
(vi) that as of such date Sections 4.03(a) and 4.03(b) are satisfied. In the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, if no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then such requested Borrowing shall be a
Base Rate Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower giving the notice of Borrowing shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing. 

SECTION 2.04.    Interest Elections. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement,
(i) at the option of the Borrower, each Borrowing denominated in Dollars initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing request, (ii) each Borrowing denominated in Euros shall be a LIBOR Borrowing, and (iii) each
LIBOR Borrowing shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in the Borrowing request with respect to such Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect (each an “Interest Election Request”) to convert such Borrowing to a
different Type (other than in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Euros) or to continue such Borrowing in its existing Type and, in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.04(a).
In the case of any Borrowing denominated in Dollars, the applicable 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 

  
 71 













 
such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. 

(b)    To make an Interest Election Request, the Borrower shall submit to the Administrative Agent, by fax or email (in
..pdf or .tif format), a completed written Interest Election Request signed by the Borrower indicating such election by the time that a Borrowing request would be required under Section 2.03 (Notice of Borrowings) if such Borrower
were requesting a Borrowing of the Type (and in the currency) resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. 

(c)    Each Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the following information in compliance with
Sections 2.02 (Loans) and 2.03 (Notice of Borrowings): 
 (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 a Base Rate Borrowing or a LIBOR
Borrowing; and 
 (iv)    if the resulting Borrowing is a LIBOR 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 LIBOR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable 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 LIBOR Borrowing 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 (i) in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing denominated in Dollars, such Borrowing shall be converted to a Base
Rate Borrowing and (ii) in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing denominated in Euros, such Borrowing shall be continued as a LIBOR Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an
Event of Default under clause (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing with respect to Holdings or the Borrower, or if any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the


  
 72 













 
request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the applicable Borrower of the election to give effect to this sentence on account of such other Event of Default, then, in each such case, so long as
such Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Base Rate Borrowing may be converted to a LIBOR Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each LIBOR Borrowing (A) denominated in Dollars, shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing at
the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (B) denominated in Euros, shall be continued as a LIBOR Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 

SECTION 2.05.    Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The outstanding principal balance of each
Loan shall be payable by the Borrower on the applicable Maturity Date. 
 (b)    The Administrative Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower or Holdings, as applicable, solely for this purpose and for tax purposes, shall establish and maintain at one of its offices a record of ownership (the
“Register”) in which the Administrative Agent agrees to register by book entry each Lender’s and each Issuer’s interest in each Loan, each Letter of Credit and each Reimbursement Obligation, and in the right to receive any
payments hereunder and any assignment of any such interest or rights. In addition, the Administrative Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower solely for this purpose and for tax purposes, shall
establish and maintain accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (i) the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Issuers, (ii) the Commitments of each Lender from time to time,
(iii) the amount of each Loan made and, if a LIBOR Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iv) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable, and paid, by the Borrower or Holdings to, or for the account of, each Lender
hereunder, (v) the amount that is due and payable, and paid, by the Borrower or Holdings to, or for the account of, each Issuer, including the amount of Letter of Credit Obligations (specifying the amount of any Reimbursement Obligations) due
and payable to an Issuer, and (vi) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower or Holdings, whether such sum constitutes principal or interest (and the type of Loan to which it applies), fees, expenses
or other amounts due under the Loan Documents and each Lender’s and Issuer’s, as the case may be, share thereof, if applicable. 

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans (including the Notes evidencing
such Loans) and the Reimbursement Obligations are registered obligations and the right, title, and interest of the Lenders and the Issuers and their respective assignees in and to such Loans or Reimbursement Obligations, as the case may be, shall be
transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register. A Note shall only evidence a Lender’s or a registered assignee’s right, title and interest in and to the related Loan, and in no event is any such Note to be considered a
bearer instrument or obligation. This Section 2.05 (Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt) and Section 9.04 (Successors and Assigns) shall be construed so that the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations are at all times
maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (or any successor provisions of the Code or such regulations). 

  
 73 













 (d)    The entries made in the Register and in the accounts therein
maintained pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that the failure
of the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower or Holdings, as applicable, to repay any amounts due hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
In addition, the Borrower, each Applicant, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender or as an Issuer, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement.
Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender or Issuer shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice. 
 (e)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request a
promissory note evidencing the Loans made by it hereunder (each a “Note”) to the Borrower, the Borrower shall deliver such a Note, reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such
Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns), and, subject to Section 2.05(c), the interests represented by such Note shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 9.04
(Successors and Assigns)) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form. 
 SECTION
2.06.    Fees. (a) Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay in immediately available Dollars for the account of the Lenders as set forth below in this Section 2.06, a commitment fee
(collectively, the “Commitment Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on the average daily unused amount of such Lender’s Commitment, for the period from and including the Initial Funding Date to but excluding
the earlier of the date such Commitment is terminated and the applicable Maturity Date. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears (i) on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such Business Day
following the Initial Funding Date, for the account of each Lender, (ii) on each Maturity Date, for the account of each Lender the Commitment of which terminates on such date, and (iii) on any date on which the Commitments shall be
terminated in whole (or, in the case of Letters of Credit, fully cash collateralized in accordance with the last paragraph of Article VII), for the account of each Lender; provided, however, that if any Revolving Credit
Outstandings shall be outstanding after the date on which the Commitments have been terminated in whole, then such Commitment Fee shall be payable on demand. All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in
a year of 360 days (including the first day but excluding the last day). 
 (b)    Letter of Credit Fees. Each
Applicant agrees to pay in immediately available Dollars or Euros, as applicable, the following amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued by any Issuer to it: 

(i)    to each Issuer of a Letter of Credit, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer to
such Applicant, an issuance fee equal to a 

  
 74 













 
percentage per annum to be mutually agreed upon by such Applicant and such Issuer of the undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit, during the period from and including the Initial Funding
Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Issuer ceases to be an Issuer hereunder and the date on which such Issuer ceases to have any exposure to Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of such Letters of Credit; 

(ii)    to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, with respect to each Letter of
Credit issued to such Applicant, a participation fee accruing at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans on the undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit, during the period from and including the Initial Funding Date to
but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any exposure to the Letter of Credit Obligations; and 

(iii)    to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit issued to such Applicant, with respect to the issuance,
amendment, renewal, extension or transfer of each Letter of Credit and each drawing made thereunder, documentary and processing charges in accordance with such Issuer’s standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of issuance,
amendment, renewal, extension, transfer or drawing, as the case may be, payable within 10 days after demand. 

(iv)    All fees payable under this Section 2.06(b) shall be computed on the basis of the actual
number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days (including the first day but excluding the last day). Issuance fees and participation fees payable under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), respectively, and 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, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Initial Funding Date; provided that all such fees shall be
payable on each Maturity Date and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitment of any applicable Lender or Issuer terminates shall be payable on demand. 

(c)    [Reserved] 

(d)    Upfront Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay, on the Amendment Effective Date, such fees as set forth in
Section 12(a) of the Amendment and Restatement Agreement. 
 (e)    The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, for their respective accounts, the fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon among the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any Arranger. 

(f)    All fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the
applicable Issuer, in the case of fees payable to it), for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders. Once paid, the fees shall 

  
 75 













 
not be refundable under any circumstances except in the case of an error which results in the payment of fees in excess of those due and payable as of such date, in which case the applicable
Lenders or Issuers shall cause a refund in the amount of such excess to be paid to the Borrower or Holdings, as applicable. 

(g)    Defaulting Lender Fees. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to Section 9.26
(Collateral and Guarantee Principles Relating to US Secured Obligations), during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any fees relating to such Defaulting Lender’s unused
Commitments accruing during such period pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above (without prejudice to the rights of the Non-Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees); provided that (i) to
the extent that a Ratable Portion of the Letter of Credit Obligations of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.23(a) (Reallocation of Defaulting
Lender Commitment), such fees that would have accrued for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such Non-Defaulting Lenders, pro rata in
accordance with their respective Commitments, (ii) to the extent that all or any portion of such Letter of Credit Obligations cannot be so reallocated and is not cash collateralized pursuant to Section 2.23(a), such fees will, without
prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuer or any Lender hereunder, instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the relevant Issuer and the pro rata payment provisions of Section 2.15 (Pro Rata Treatment)
will automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this paragraph), and (iii) in no event shall the Borrower be required to pay any Commitment Fee in respect of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender that otherwise would have
been required to have been paid to such Lender during such period such Lender is a Defaulting Lender. 
 SECTION
2.07.    Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08 (Default Interest), the unpaid principal amount of the Loans comprising each Base Rate Borrowing shall bear interest for each day
(computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when the Base Rate is determined by reference to clause (a) of the definition of Base Rate and over a year of 360 days at all
other times) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate from time to time in effect during the Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin. 

(b)    Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08 (Default Interest), the unpaid principal amount of the Loans
comprising each LIBOR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing
plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (c)    Interest on each Loan shall be payable by the Borrower on the Interest
Payment Dates applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Interest shall accrue from and including the first day of an Interest Period to but excluding the last day of such Interest Period; provided that, if a
Loan, or a portion thereof, is repaid on the same day on which such Loan is made, one day’s interest shall accrue on the portion of such Loan so prepaid. The applicable Adjusted LIBO Rate or 

  
 76 













 
Base Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.08.    Default Interest. If the Borrower or Holdings, as applicable shall default in
the payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation or any other amount becoming due hereunder, by acceleration or otherwise, the Borrower or Holdings, as applicable shall on demand from time to time pay interest,
to the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount up to (but not including) the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum equal to (a) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, the rate otherwise
applicable to such Loan as provided in Section 2.07 (Interest on Loans) plus 2% per annum, or (b) in the case of any other amount, the rate applicable to Base Rate Borrowings plus 2% per annum. Payment or acceptance of
the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.08 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the
Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any Lender. 
 SECTION 2.09.    Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) In the
event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan, the Administrative Agent shall have determined in good faith that Dollar or Euro deposits in the principal amounts of
the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market or other market in which Lenders ordinarily raise Dollars or Euros, as applicable, to fund Loans of the requested Type, or that the rates at which such
Dollar or Euro, as applicable, deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining its LIBOR Loan during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the
Adjusted LIBO Rate, then the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or faxed notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent
shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (a) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, an
affected LIBOR Borrowing shall be ineffective, (b) any affected LIBOR Borrowing that is requested to be continued shall (i) if denominated in Dollars, be continued as a Base Rate Borrowing and (ii) if denominated in Euros, be repaid
on the last day of the then-current Interest Period applicable thereto and (c) any Borrowing request for an affected LIBOR Borrowing shall (i) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate
Borrowing and (ii) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Euros, be ineffective (and no Lender shall be obligated to make a Loan on account thereof). Each determination by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. 
 (b)    If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error) that (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable (including, without limitation, because the LIBO Screen Rate is not available


  
 77 













 
or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (i) have not arisen but the
supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate shall no longer be used
for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBO Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining
a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but, for
the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Margin); provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.08 (Waivers; Amendment), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative
Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date any notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders (which notice shall be in writing and shall specify such five Business Day period), a written notice from
the Required Lenders stating that such Lenders object to such amendment (it being understood that, if the Required Lenders object to any such amendment, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to continue to establish an
alternate rate of interest and provide one or more additional notices hereunder until an amendment pursuant to this Section 2.09(b) has become effective). Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this
clause (b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this clause (b), only to the extent the LIBO Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a
current basis), (x) any request by the Borrower for a LIBOR Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 (Notice of Borrowings) shall, if denominated in Dollars, be deemed to be a request of an Base Rate Borrowing, and if denominated in Euros, be
ineffective, and (y) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a LIBOR Borrowing shall be ineffective and, if denominated in Dollars, such Borrowing shall be converted
to an Base Rate Borrowing on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereof. 
 SECTION 2.10.    Termination
and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitment of each Lender shall terminate on the applicable Maturity Date. 

(b)    Upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior irrevocable, written or faxed notice (which notice may be
conditioned upon the closing of any financing arrangement obtained to refinance or replace the Facility) to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time during the Revolving Credit Period in whole permanently terminate, or from time to
time in part permanently reduce, the Total Commitment; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction shall be in an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and in a minimum principal amount of $50,000,000 and (ii) the
Total Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the aggregate principal 

  
 78 













 
amount of the Revolving Credit Outstandings (after giving effect to any simultaneous prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11 (Prepayment)). 

(c)    Each reduction in Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with each such
Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Total Commitment. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, on the date of each such termination or reduction pursuant to this Section 2.10, the Commitment
Fee on the amount of the Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to the date of such termination or reduction. 
 SECTION
2.11.    Prepayment. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written notice by fax or email
(in .pdf or .tif format) to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount which is, in the case of Borrowings denominated in Dollars, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not
less than $25,000,000, and in the case of Borrowings denominated in Euros, an integral multiple of €1,000,000 and not less than €25,000,000. 

(b)    On the date of any termination or reduction of any Commitment pursuant to Section 2.10 (Termination and
Reduction of Commitments), the Borrower shall pay or prepay so much of the Loans (or cash collateralize Letters of Credit in accordance with the last paragraph of Article VII), as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to
such reduction or termination, the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Total Commitment so reduced. 

(c)    Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion
thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable (but may be conditioned upon the closing of any financing arrangement obtained to refinance or replace the Facility) and shall commit the Borrower to prepay the Loan to which such notice relates by the
amount stated therein on the date stated therein. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. All prepayments under this Section 2.11 shall be subject to
Section 2.14 (Indemnity) but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section 2.11 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of payment. 

(d)    If at any time, (i) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Outstandings exceeds the Total
Commitment at such time (other than as a result of any revaluation of the Dollar Equivalent of Loans or any part of the Letter of Credit Obligations on any Determination Date in accordance with Section 1.03 (Exchange Rates; Currency
Equivalents)) or (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Outstandings exceeds 105% of the Total Commitment at such time solely as a result of any revaluation of the Dollar Equivalent of Loans or any part of the Letter of
Credit Obligations on any Determination Date in accordance with Section 1.03, the Borrower shall forthwith prepay the Loans then outstanding in an amount equal to such excess. If any such excess remains after repayment in full of the aggregate
outstanding Loans, each Applicant shall provide cash collateral for the Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to 

  
 79 













 
Letters of Credit issued to such Applicant in accordance with the last paragraph of Article VII in an amount equal to the amount of such excess. 

SECTION 2.12.    Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision
herein other than Section 2.14(c), if any Change in Law shall: 
 (i)    impose, modify or deem
applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement
reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuer; 
 (ii)    impose on any Lender or any Issuer or the
London interbank market or other market in which Lenders ordinarily raise Dollars or Euros, as applicable, to fund Loans of the requested Type, or any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such
Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or 
 (iii)    subject the Administrative Agent,
any Lender or any Issuer to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes indemnifiable pursuant to Section 2.18 (Taxes) and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations,
or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to
such Lender of funding, making, converting, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of
Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to Issue any Letter of Credit) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the
Borrower (or, with respect to the US Letters of Credit, Holdings) will pay to such Lender or such Issuer, as applicable, upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuer, as applicable for such additional
costs or expenses incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b)    If any Lender or any Issuer reasonably determines that any
Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity has had or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or Issuer or any holding company of such Lender or Issuer by an amount reasonably determined by such
Lender or Issuer or such holding company as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of each Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit Issued by such Issuer, or such
Lender’s or Issuer’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and/or
liquidity and such Lender’s or such Issuer’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender or such Issuer (with a copy 

  
 80 













 
of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower (or, with respect to the US Letters of Credit, Holdings) shall pay to such Lender or such Issuer such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Lender or such Issuer or such Lender’s or such Issuer’s holding company for such reduction; provided that such additional amounts shall not be duplicative of any amounts to the extent otherwise paid by Holdings
or the Borrower, as the case may be, under any other provision of this Agreement. 
 (c)    A certificate of each Lender
or Issuer setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuer or its Parent Company as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above, as the case may be, together with a statement of reasons for
such demand and showing the calculation for such amounts shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.12, no Lender shall demand compensation for any
increased cost or reduction pursuant to this Section 2.12 in respect of any Change in Law described in the proviso to the definition of the term “Change in Law” unless such certificate states that it is the general policy or practice
of such Lender or Issuer to demand such compensation in similar circumstances from similarly-situated borrowers under similar credit facilities (to the extent such Lender or Issuer has the right under such similar credit facilities to do so). The
Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to each Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within ten (10) days after its receipt of the same. 

(d)    Except as provided in this paragraph, failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuer to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section 2.12 with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuer’s right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any other period. The protection of this
Section 2.12 shall be available to each Lender and to each Issuer regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been
imposed. No Lender or Issuer shall be entitled to compensation under this Section 2.12 for any costs or expenses incurred or reductions suffered with respect to any date unless it shall have notified the Borrower that it will demand
compensation for such costs or reductions under paragraph (c) above not more than 120 days after the later of (i) such date and (ii) the date on which it shall have or reasonably should have become aware of such costs or reductions;
provided that if the applicable Change in Law giving rise to such costs, expenses or reductions is retroactive, then the 120 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. In the event the
Borrower or Holdings shall reimburse any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any cost and the Lender shall subsequently receive a refund in respect thereof, the Lender shall so notify Holdings or the Borrower, as applicable, and shall pay
to Holdings or the Borrower, as applicable the portion of such refund which it shall determine in good faith to be allocable to the cost so reimbursed. 

SECTION 2.13.    Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein other than
Section 2.14(c), if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan or to give effect to its obligations 

  
 81 













 
as contemplated hereby with respect to any LIBOR Loan, then, by written or faxed notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such Lender may: 

(i)    declare that LIBOR Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender hereunder, whereupon any request
by a Borrower for a LIBOR Borrowing shall, as to such Lender only, (A) in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing to be denominated in Dollars, be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan or (B) in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing to be denominated in
Euros, be ineffective (and such Lender shall not be obligated to make a Loan on account thereof), in each case, unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and 

(ii)    require that all outstanding LIBOR Loans made by it (A) that are denominated in Dollars be
converted to Base Rate Loans, in which event all such LIBOR Loans shall automatically be so converted as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below (with the interest rate on such Base Rate Loans of such Lender, if
necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate component of the Base Rate) or (B) that are denominated in Euros be prepaid promptly following the effective date of such
notice. 
 In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal which would
otherwise have been applied to repay the LIBOR Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted LIBOR Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion
of, such LIBOR Loans. 
 (b)    For purposes of this Section 2.13, a notice by any Lender shall be effective as to
each LIBOR Loan, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt. 

SECTION 2.14.    Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense (excluding
loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any failure to fulfill on the date of any Borrowing hereunder the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, (b) any failure by the
Borrower to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan hereunder on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (whether or not such notice may be revoked in accordance with the terms hereof), (c) any payment, prepayment or
conversion of a LIBOR Loan required by any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise made or deemed made on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, other than any loss of profit resulting from any event,
circumstance or condition set forth in Section 2.12 (Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances) or 2.13 (Change in Legality), (d) any default in payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Loan or any part
thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the due date thereof, whether by scheduled maturity, acceleration, irrevocable notice of prepayment or otherwise), (e) the occurrence of any Event of Default or (f) the
assignment of a LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable 

  
 82 













 
thereto as the result of a request by a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19 (Assignment of Loans and Commitments Under Certain Circumstances) or Section 9.08(c), including, in each
such case, any loss, cost, or reasonable expense sustained or incurred or to be sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain such Loan or any part thereof as a LIBOR Loan. Such loss,
cost or reasonable expense shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid or not borrowed (assumed to be the Adjusted LIBO
Rate applicable thereto) for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment or failure to borrow to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period for such
Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) 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 deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London interbank market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such
Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.14 together with a statement of reasons for such demand and the calculation of such amount or amounts 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
2.15.    Pro Rata Treatment. Except as required under Section 2.13 (Change in Legality) or as provided under Section 2.06(g) (Defaulting Lender Fees), each Borrowing, each payment or
prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Commitment Fees and each conversion or continuation of any Borrowing with a Borrowing of any Type, shall be allocated pro rata among
the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans). All payments of fees (other than the
Commitment Fees) and all other payments in respect of any other Loan Document Obligation shall be allocated among such of the Lenders and Issuers as are entitled thereto and, for such payments allocated to the Lenders, in proportion to their
respective Ratable Portions. 
 SECTION 2.16.    Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through
the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such
secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loan or
Loans or any of its participations in Letters of Credit as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Revolving Credit Outstandings and accrued interest thereon shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the
Revolving Credit Outstandings and accrued interest thereon of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the


  
 83 













 
purchase price in cash for, a participation in the Revolving Credit Outstandings of such other Lender, so that the aggregate amount 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 Letters of Credit; provided, however, that, (i) if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be
made pursuant to this Section 2.16 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment
restored without interest and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by Holdings or 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 Letters of Credit to any Eligible Assignee. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any
Lender holding a participation in any of the Revolving Credit Outstandings deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to
such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan or otherwise extended credit directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

SECTION 2.17.    Payments. (a) Each payment or prepayment by the Borrower of the principal of or interest on
any Loans, any fees payable to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any other amounts due hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made, without any defense, setoff, recoupment or counterclaim, not later than the time (subject to
clause (b) below) expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document (or, if no time is expressly required, not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the date when due, in the currency specified herein (or, if no such
currency is specified, in Dollars), in immediately available funds. All such payments shall be made to the account or accounts as may be specified by the Administrative Agent, except that payments required to be made directly to any Issuer shall be
so made, payments pursuant to Sections 2.12 (Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances), 2.14 (Indemnity), 2.18 (Taxes) and 9.05 (Expenses; Indemnity) shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto and
payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payment received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following
receipt thereof. 
 (b)    Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any fees or
other amounts) hereunder shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, except as provided in the definition of Interest Period, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of
time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, if applicable. 
 (c)    Each payment by
Holdings or the Borrower of any Loan, Reimbursement Obligation (including interest or fees in respect thereof) and each reimbursement of various costs, expenses or other Loan Document Obligation shall be made in the currency in which such Loan was
made, such Letter of Credit issued or such 

  
 84 













 
cost, expense or other Loan Document Obligation was incurred; provided that the Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement for a Letter of Credit may specify another currency for the
Reimbursement Obligation in respect of such Letter of Credit. 
 (d)    If at any time insufficient funds are received
by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed Reimbursement Obligations, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be, subject to Section 9.26 (Collateral and Guarantee
Principles Relating to US Secured Obligations), 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 Reimbursement Obligations then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed Reimbursement
Obligations then due to such parties. 
 (e)    In the event that any financial statements delivered under
Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b), or any compliance certificate delivered under Section 5.01(c), shall prove to have been materially inaccurate, and such inaccuracy shall have resulted in the payment of any interest or fees at rates lower than
those that were in fact applicable for any period (based on the actual Leverage Ratio), then, if such inaccuracy is discovered prior to the termination of the Commitments and the repayment in full of the principal of all Loans and the reduction of
the Reimbursement Obligations to zero, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to the Lenders and the Issuers (or former Lenders and Issuers) as their interests may appear, the accrued interest or fees that should have
been paid but were not paid as a result of such misstatement. 
 SECTION 2.18.    Taxes. (a) Any and all
payments by or on behalf of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes, unless required by law. If any Loan Party shall be required by law to deduct any
Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to the Lenders or the Issuers (or any Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.18) such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law; provided, however, that no Transferee of any Lender shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under this Section 2.18 than such Lender would have been entitled to receive immediately before assignment,
participation or other transfer with respect to the rights assigned, participated or transferred unless such assignment, participation or transfer shall have been made (A) prior to the occurrence of an event (including any change in treaty, law
or regulation) giving rise to such greater payment or (B) at the request of the Borrower. 

  
 85 













 (b)    In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay any present or future
stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, except any such Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made at the request of the Borrower) as a result of a present or former connection between a Lender, Issuer or Transferee and the jurisdiction
imposing such Tax (other than connections arising from such Lender, Issuer or Transferee having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under,
engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or sold or assigned an interest in this Agreement or any other Loan Document) (herein referred to as “Other Taxes”). 

(c)    The Loan Parties will indemnify each Lender and each Issuer (or Transferee) and the Administrative Agent for the
full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes payable pursuant to Section 2.18(a) or Section 2.18(b) (including any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.18(c)) paid by
such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Such indemnification shall be made within 30 days
after the date any Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor, together with a statement of reasons for such demand and the calculations of such amount. Such calculations, if made
in good faith, absent manifest error, shall be final and conclusive on all parties. 
 (d)    Within 30 days after the
date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes withheld by any Loan Party in respect of any payment to any Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, such Loan Party will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred
to in Section 9.01 (Notices), the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof (or other evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). 

(e)    Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained
in this Section 2.18 shall survive the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all Loans made hereunder. 

(f)    Each Lender and each Issuer (or Transferee) represents to the Borrower that, on the date such Lender or Issuer (or
such Transferee) becomes a party to this Agreement, it is eligible to receive payments of interest hereunder from the Borrower without withholding in respect of United States federal withholding tax (except, in the case of a Transferee of any
Lender, as a result of the occurrence of an event (including a change in treaty, law or regulation) after the Amendment Effective Date giving rise to withholding to which such Lender would be subject). 

(g)    Each Lender and each Issuer (or Transferee), other than a Transferee described in the exception in
Section 2.18(f), that is not a “United States  

  
 86 













 
person”, within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, shall, on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a
participation holder, on or before the date such Transferee becomes a participation holder hereunder), deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Code or Treasury
Regulations issued pursuant thereto, including Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8ECI, or any other applicable certificate or statement of exemption, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) establishing that payment made to such Lender or Issuer (or
Transferee) is (i) not subject to United States federal withholding tax under the Code because such payments are effectively connected with the conduct by such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) of a trade or business in the United States,
(ii) totally exempt from United States federal withholding tax under a provision of an applicable tax treaty, or (iii) eligible for the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, in which case
such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) shall also deliver an applicable certificate consistent with the exhibits in Exhibit F to the effect that such Lender or Issuer is not (A) a “bank” within the
meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign
corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code. In addition, each such Lender or Issuer (or such Transferee) and each Transferee described in the exception in Section 2.18(f) shall, if legally able to do so, thereafter
deliver such certificates, documents or other evidence from time to time establishing that payments received hereunder are not subject to, or subject to a reduced rate of, such withholding upon receipt of a written request therefor from the
Borrower, Holdings or the Administrative Agent or within 30 days of any certificate or statement of exemption previously provided becoming incorrect. Unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents
satisfactory to them indicating that payments hereunder are not subject to, or subject to a reduced rate of, United States federal withholding tax, the Borrower, Holdings or the Administrative Agent shall withhold such taxes from such payments at
the applicable statutory rate. 
 (h)    Each Lender and each Issuer (or Transferee) that is a “United
States person”, within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, shall, on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on or before the
date such Transferee becomes a participation holder hereunder), deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, including
Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any other applicable certificate or statement of exemption properly completed and duly executed by such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) establishing that any payment made
to such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) is not subject to United States federal backup withholding tax under the Code. In addition, each such Lender or Issuer (or such Transferee) shall, if legally able to do so, thereafter deliver such
certificates, documents or other evidence from time to time establishing that payments received hereunder are not subject to such withholding upon receipt of a written request therefor from the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Unless the
Borrower, Holdings and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that 

  
 87 













 
payments hereunder are not subject to United States federal backup withholding tax, the Borrower, Holdings or the Administrative Agent shall withhold such taxes from such payments at the
applicable statutory rate. 
 (i)    Each Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) that is entitled to any exemption or
reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax with respect to any payment under this Agreement shall, on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation
holder, on or before the date such Transferee becomes a participation holder hereunder), deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by law, or as may reasonably be requested by
the Borrower, establishing that such payment is not subject to, or is subject to a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, each such Lender or Issuer (or such Transferee) shall, if legally able to do so, thereafter deliver such certificates,
documents or other evidence from time to time establishing that payments received hereunder are not subject to such withholding upon receipt of a written request therefor from the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such certificates, documents or other evidence shall not be required if in the Lender’s or Issuer’s (or Transferee’s) reasonable judgment such
completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) to any unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee). 

(j)    The Loan Parties shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to any Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) in
respect of any withholding tax pursuant to paragraph (a) above to the extent that the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) to deliver the certificates,
documents or other evidence required to be delivered under the preceding paragraph (g), (h) or (i) unless such failure is attributable to (i) a change in applicable law, regulation or official interpretation thereof or (ii) an
amendment or modification to or a revocation of any applicable tax treaty or a change in official position regarding the application or interpretation thereof, in each case on or after the date such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) became a party to
this Agreement. 
 (k)    Any Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this
Section 2.18 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to, at the expense of the Borrower or Holdings, as applicable, file any certificate or document reasonably requested in
writing by the Borrower or Holdings if the making of such a filing would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts which may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender or Issuer (or
Transferee), be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee). 
 (l)    If any Lender or Issuer
(or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent receives a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party pursuant to this Section 2.18, it shall promptly repay such refund to such Loan
Party (to the extent of amounts that have been paid by such 

  
 88 













 
Loan Party under this Section 2.18 with respect to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including
Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) of such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund); provided,
however, that such Loan Party, upon the request of such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, agrees to return such refund (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) or the
Administrative Agent in the event such Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund. Nothing in this Section 2.18 shall obligate any Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent
to apply for any such refund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (l), in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph the payment of which would
place such indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been
deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or
any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

(m)    Nothing contained in this Section 2.18 shall require any Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) or the
Administrative Agent to make available any of its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems to be confidential). 

(n)    The Loan Parties shall not be required to reimburse any Lender or Issuer (or Transferee) or the Administrative
Agent with respect to any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes unless such Lender, Issuer, Transferee or the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower or Holdings, as applicable, of the amount of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes on or before the
second anniversary of the date such Lender, Issuer, Transferee or the Administrative Agent pays such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes. 

(o)    All amounts set out, or expressed in, this Agreement, a note or any other Loan Document to be payable by any Loan
Party to any Lender, Issuer (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply
or supplies, and accordingly, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender, Issuer (or Transferee) or Administrative Agent under this Agreement, a note or any other Loan Document and such Lender, Issuer (or Transferee) or
Administrative Agent is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Loan Party shall pay to such Lender, Issuer (or Transferee) or Administrative Agent (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration
for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Lender, Issuer (or Transferee) or Administrative Agent shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such Loan Party) unless such VAT is owed by that Loan Party to the
relevant Tax authority under a reverse charge mechanism.

 SECTION 2.19.    Assignment of Loans and Commitments Under Certain
Circumstances. In the event that (i) any Lender shall have delivered a notice or certificate pursuant to Section 2.12 (Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances) or 2.13 (Change in Legality), (ii) the Borrower
or Holdings, as applicable shall be required to make additional payments to or for the account of any Lender under Section 2.18 (Taxes) or (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall have the right, at its own
expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to require such Lender to assign and delegate without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the consents required by and all other restrictions and processing and
recordation fees contained in Section 9.04 (Successors and Assigns)) all its interests, rights (other than its rights to payments already due pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.18) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to another Eligible Assignee which shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment and delegation); provided, however, that (i) no such assignment shall conflict
with any law, rule or regulation or order of any Governmental Authority, (ii) the Borrower or the assignee, as the case may be, shall pay to the affected Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the principal of and
interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by it hereunder and all other amounts accrued for its account or owed to it hereunder and (iii) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a claim for compensation
under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.18, such assignment will result in a material 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 or consent by such Lender or otherwise (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender under paragraph (a) above), the circumstances entitling the Borrower or Holdings to require such
assignment and delegation have ceased to apply. 
 SECTION 2.20.    Mitigation. If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 2.12 (Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances), or if the Borrower or Holdings is required to pay any material amount of Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18 (Taxes), then such Lender (at the request of the Borrower or Holdings, as applicable) shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different
lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment
and delegation (A) would eliminate or materially reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.12 or 2.18, as the case may be, in the future and (B) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would
not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower and Holdings hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation. 

SECTION 2.21.    Extensions of Maturity Date. (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the
Administrative Agent (each an “Extension Request”) given on any date no later than forty-five (45) days prior to the then existing Maturity Date (the “Existing Maturity Date”), request that the Lenders and
Issuers extend the Existing 

  
 90 













 
Maturity Date in accordance with this Section 2.21. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders and the Issuers of any Extension Request given pursuant to this
Section 2.21. 
 (b)    The Existing Maturity Date shall be extended with respect to the Commitment, Loans and the
other rights and obligations of the Lenders or Issuers that, each acting in its sole discretion, have consented to such Extension Request (it being understood and agreed that any Lender or Issuer that shall have failed to exercise such right as set
forth below shall be deemed to have not consented), to the date specified in such Extension Request, if (A) the Administrative Agent shall have received the written consent of the Required Lenders prior to the date to be agreed upon by the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent following the date on which the applicable Extension Request has been given (each such date, an “Extended Maturity Effective Date”); (B) the representations and warranties hereof the Loan
Parties set forth in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of representations and warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects) on and as of the applicable Extended Maturity Effective Date
with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material
respects (or, in the case of representations and warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects) as of such earlier date; (C) no Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing on or as of the applicable Extended
Maturity Effective Date (after giving effect to such extension); and (D) the Administrative Agent shall have received (x) the relevant Extension Request and (y) a certificate dated the applicable Extended Maturity Effective Date
confirming the satisfaction of the condition set forth in clause (B) above and that as of such Extended Maturity Effective Date, no Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing. In no event shall the Maturity Date be extended with
respect to the Commitments, Loans or any other right or obligations hereunder of any Lender or Issuer, without the prior written consent of such Lender or Issuer to such extension. 

(c)    In the event that any Lender or any Issuer shall not have consented to an Extension Request, the Borrower shall
have the right, at its own expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender or Issuer and the Administrative Agent, to require such Lender or Issuer to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained
in Section 9.04 (Successors and Assigns)) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to another Eligible Assignee (provided, in the case of a replacement of an Issuer, that such
Eligible Assignee complies with the definition of Issuer hereunder) that has informed the Administrative Agent of its consent to such Extension Request in writing prior to the applicable Extended Maturity Effective Date, which shall assume such
obligations; provided, however, that (i) no such assignment shall conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any Governmental Authority and (ii) the Borrower or the assignee, as the case may be, shall pay to the
affected Lender or Issuer in immediately available funds on the date of such termination or assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made or Letter of Credit Issued by such affected


  
 91 













 
Lender or Issuer, as applicable, and all other amounts accrued for such affected Lender’s or Issuer’s account or owed to it hereunder. 

(d)    If an Extension Request has become effective hereunder: 

(i)    not later than the fifth Business Day prior to the Existing Maturity Date, Holdings and the
Borrower, as applicable, shall pay or prepay so much of the Loans (or cash collateralize Letters of Credit in accordance with the last paragraph of Article VII), such that, after giving effect to such prepayments and such provision of cash
collateral, the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings as of such date will not exceed the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders that consented to such Extension Request (and neither Holdings nor the Borrower shall be permitted thereafter to request
any Loan or any Issuance of a Letter of Credit if, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments so extended); and 

(ii)    on the Existing Maturity Date, the Commitment of each Lender that did not consent to such Extension
Request shall, to the extent not assumed, assigned or transferred as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 2.21, terminate, and the Borrower shall repay all the Loans of each such Lender, to the extent such Loans shall not have been so
purchased, assigned and transferred, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest and all fees and other amounts owing to such Lender hereunder, it being understood and agreed that, subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 4.03 (All Borrowings and Issuances of Letters of Credit), such repayments may be funded with the proceeds of new Borrowings made simultaneously with such repayments by the Lenders that consented to such Extension Request, which
such Borrowings shall be made ratably by such consenting Lenders in accordance with their extended Commitments. 

(e)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, it is hereby agreed that no extension of an
Existing Maturity Date in accordance with the express terms of this Section 2.21 shall be deemed to (i) violate the first sentence of Section 2.10(c) or Section 2.15 (Pro Rata Treatment) or any other provision of this
Agreement requiring the ratable reduction of Commitments or the ratable sharing of payments or (ii) require the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders under Section 9.08(b). 

SECTION 2.22.    Letters of Credit. (a) General. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained
in this Agreement, each Issuer shall Issue one or more Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or Euros in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuer from time to time on any Business Day during the Revolving
Credit Period (x) at the request of Holdings and for the account of Holdings (or for the account of any Domestic Subsidiary so long as Holdings is a joint and several co-applicant with respect thereto)
(each Letter of Credit pursuant to this clause (x), a “US Letter of Credit”) or (y) at the request of the Borrower and for the account of the Borrower (or for the account of any Foreign Subsidiary so long as the


  
 92 













 
Borrower is a joint and several co-applicant with respect thereto); provided, however, that neither Holdings nor the Borrower shall request, and no Issuer shall Issue, any Letter of
Credit upon the occurrence of any of the following: 
 (i)    such Issuer shall have received any written
notice of the type described in clause (d) below; 
 (ii)    after giving effect to the Issuance of
such Letter of Credit, the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the Total Commitment in effect at such time; 

(iii)    after giving effect to the Issuance of such Letter of Credit, (A) the Letter of Credit
Obligations in respect of US Letters of Credit would exceed the US Letter of Credit Sublimit, (B) the portion of the Letter of Credit Obligations attributable to Letters of Credit issued by any Issuer would exceed the Letter of Credit
Commitment of such Issuer (unless otherwise agreed to by such Issuer) or (C) the Letter of Credit Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit (and upon each Issuance of any Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be deemed to represent
and warrant that it is compliance with this clause (iii)); 
 (iv)    any fees due in connection
with a requested Issuance have not been paid; 
 (v)    such Letter of Credit or the proceeds of such
Letter of Credit would be made available to any Person (i) to fund any activity or business of or with any Sanctioned Person or in any Sanctioned Country except to the extent permissible for a Person required to comply with Sanctions or
(ii) in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions applicable to any party hereto; or 

(vi)    any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its
terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuer from Issuing such Letter of Credit or any Requirement of Law applicable to such Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction
over such Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such Issuer refrain from, the Issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or
reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuer is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the Amendment Effective Date or result in any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable, in effect or known to such Issuer as of
the Amendment Effective Date and that such Issuer in good faith deems material to it. 
 Each Issuer agrees that it shall not permit any Issuance of a
Letter of Credit to occur unless it shall have given to the Administrative Agent written notice thereof as required under paragraph (f) of this Section 2.22 and the Administrative Agent shall have confirmed, upon written request by email
(in .pdf or .tif format), that the applicable Issuance will not violate clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph (a). Each Applicant 

  
 93 













 
unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that, in connection with any Letter of Credit issued for its account and for the account of any Domestic Subsidiary or Foreign Subsidiary, as applicable, as
provided in the first sentence of this Section 2.22, it will be fully responsible for the reimbursement of Reimbursement Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit for which it was the Applicant, the payment of interest thereon and the payment
of fees due under Section 2.06(b) (Letter of Credit Fees) with respect to such Letters of Credit to the same extent as if it were the sole account party in respect of such Letter of Credit. None of the Lenders (other than, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.22, the Issuers in their capacity as such) shall have any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, none of Credit
Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch (or any of its affiliates) nor Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., shall be required to issue Documentary Letters of Credit. 

(b)    Expiration Date. In no event shall the expiration date of any Letter of Credit (i) be more than one
year after the date of issuance thereof (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) or (ii) be less than five Business Days prior to the Initial Scheduled Maturity Date (or, with respect to
any Letter of Credit Issued by any Issuer that has consented to an Extension Request, if each of the conditions set forth in Section 2.21(b) with respect to such Extension Request shall have been satisfied, the applicable extended Maturity
Date), unless cash collateralized or backstopped prior to the relevant date of issuance pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Issuer; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit may provide, in the sole discretion of
the applicable Issuer, for the renewal thereof for additional periods less than or equal to one year, as long as, (x) on or before the expiration of each such term and each such period, each of the Applicant and the Issuer of such Letter of
Credit shall have the option to prevent such renewal and (y) neither the Applicant nor the Issuer shall permit any such renewal to extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the date set forth in clause (ii) above, unless
cash collateralized or backstopped prior to the date of such renewal pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Issuer. Subject to the foregoing clauses (x) and (y), if any Letter of Credit providing for the automatic renewal
thereof has been Issued by any Issuer, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit. 

(c)    Letter of Credit Requests. In connection with the Issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Applicant thereof
shall give the relevant Issuer and the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ prior written notice, in substantially the form of Exhibit E (or in such other written or electronic form as is acceptable to the
Issuer), of the requested Issuance of such Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Request”). Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the Issuer of such Letter of Credit, the currency of issuance and face amount of the
Letter of Credit requested (whose Dollar Equivalent shall not be less than $1,000,000), the date of Issuance of such requested Letter of Credit (which date shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which date
shall be a Business Day and shall comply with the paragraph (b) of this Section 2.22), whether the requested Letter of Credit is a 

  
 94 













 
Documentary Letter of Credit or a Standby Letter of Credit and, in the case of an issuance, the name and address of the Person for whose benefit the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued.
Such notice, to be effective, must be received by the relevant Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the second Business Day prior to the requested Issuance of such Letter of Credit. If requested by the
applicable Issuer, the applicable Applicant also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuer’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit, and provide such other information as shall be requested by the
applicable Issuer as necessary to enable such Issuer to Issue such Letter of Credit. 
 (d)    Certain
Conditions. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.22, the relevant Issuer shall Issue, on the requested date, a Letter of Credit in accordance with such Issuer’s usual and customary business
practices. No Issuer shall Issue (or, in the case of an automatic renewal permitted pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.22, permit the renewal of) any Letter of Credit in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it
receives written notice from any Lender or the Administrative Agent that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 4.03 (All Borrowings and Issuances of Letters of Credit) or paragraph (a) above (other than the
condition set forth in clause (iv) of paragraph (a) above, to the extent such clause relates to fees owing to the Issuer of such Letter of Credit and its Affiliates) are not on such date satisfied or duly waived and ending when such
conditions are satisfied or duly waived. No Issuer shall otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.03 or paragraph (a) above have been satisfied in connection with the
Issuance of any Letter of Credit. 
 (e)    Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreements. Each Applicant agrees
that, if requested by the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, it shall execute a Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement in respect to any Letter of Credit Issued hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained in any Letter of Credit Reimbursement
Agreement or other application or agreement (other than this Agreement or any Security Document) submitted by any Applicant to, or entered into by any Applicant with, any Issuer relating to any Letter of Credit, (i) all provisions of such
Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement or other application or agreement purporting to grant Liens in favor of such Issuer to secure obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be disregarded, it being agreed that such obligations shall
be secured to the extent provided in this Agreement and in the Security Documents, and (ii) in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of such Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement or other application or
agreement, as applicable, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern. 
 (f)    Issuer Reports. Each
Issuer shall comply with the following: 
 (i)    unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent,
give the Administrative Agent written notice by fax or email (in .pdf or .tif format) of (i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Administrative Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit Issued by
such Issuer, 

  
 95 













 
including all Issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancelations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) reasonably prior to the time that such Issuer
Issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such Issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the stated amount of the Letters of Credit Issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such
Issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuer makes any disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the date and amount of such disbursement,
(iv) on any Business Day on which an Applicant fails to reimburse a Reimbursement Obligation required to be reimbursed by it to such Issuer on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such Reimbursement Obligation and (v) on
any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit Issued by such Issuer (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each Lender); 

(ii)    [Reserved]; and 

(iii)    no later than 10 Business Days following the last day of each calendar quarter, provide to the
Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy to each Lender requesting the same) and the Borrower separate schedules for Documentary Letters of Credit and Standby Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting forth the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations, in each case outstanding at the end of each quarter and any information requested by any Applicant or the Administrative Agent relating
thereto. 
 (g)    Participations. Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuer of a Letter of Credit (or an
amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuer or any Lender, such Issuer shall be deemed to have sold
and transferred to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuer an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the
Commitments, in such Letter of Credit and the obligations of the applicable Applicant with respect thereto (including all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto) and any security therefor and guaranty pertaining thereto. 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 applicable Issuer, such Lender’s Ratable Portion of each Reimbursement Obligation not
reimbursed by the applicable Applicant on the date due as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section 2.22, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the applicable Applicant 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, the occurrence and continuance of a Default, any reduction or termination of the Commitments or any force majeure or 

  
 96 













 
other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Section 3.14 of ISP) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit
after the expiration thereof or of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 

(h)    Reimbursements. Each Applicant agrees to pay to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, irrespective of any
claim, set-off, defense or other right that such Applicant may have at any time against such Issuer or any other Person, the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Issuer (i) under any
Letter of Credit (other than any US Letters of Credit) with respect to which it is an applicant no later than the Business Day immediately following the day that the Applicant receives written notice from the Issuer that payment has been made under
such Letter of Credit (the date such payment is due, the “Reimbursement Date”) and (ii) under any US Letters of Credit with respect to which it is an applicant, no later than three Business Days immediately following the day
that the Applicant receives such notice; provided that, with respect to any Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement, if the amount
of the Dollar Equivalent of such Reimbursement Obligation is $10,000,000 or more, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 (Notice of Borrowings) that such
payment be financed with a Base Rate Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the applicable Applicant’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Base Rate Borrowing. The
applicable Applicant shall cause the applicable Issuer to be reimbursed in the currency specified in Section 2.17(c). In the case of any reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than
Dollars, the applicable Issuer shall notify the applicable Applicant of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. In the event that any Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and
the applicable Applicant shall not have repaid such amount to such Issuer pursuant to this clause (h) or any such payment by the applicable Applicant is rescinded or set aside for any reason, such Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on
demand with interest thereon computed (i) from and including the date on which such Reimbursement Obligation arose to but excluding the Reimbursement Date, at the rate of interest applicable during such period to Loans that are Base Rate Loans
and (ii) from and including the Reimbursement Date to but excluding the date of repayment in full, at the rate of interest applicable during such period to past due Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and such Issuer shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Lender of such failure, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such
payment (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof, determined using the Exchange Rate as of the date thereof, if such payment was made in any currency other than Dollars) in immediately available Dollars. If the Administrative Agent so notifies such Lender
prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, such Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment on such Business Day (and if such notification is
later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time), such amount shall be made available on the immediately following Business Day) in 

  
 97 













 
immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.02(c) shall apply, mutatis
mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders pursuant to this paragraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Issuer the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant
to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuer for a Reimbursement Obligation (other than the funding of a Base Rate Borrowing as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Applicant of its obligation to reimburse
such Reimbursement Obligation. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuer, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to
this paragraph to reimburse such Issuer shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand has been made, on the date on which the applicable Applicant reimburses the applicable
Reimbursement Obligation in full. Whenever any Issuer receives from any Applicant a payment of a Reimbursement Obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Issuer any payment from a Lender pursuant to this
clause (h), such Issuer shall pay over to the Administrative Agent any amount received in excess of such Reimbursement Obligation and, upon receipt of such amount, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay over to each Lender, in immediately
available funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the respective amounts the Lenders have paid in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation. 

(i)    Interim Interest. If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made its Ratable Portion of the amount
of the payment required by clause (h) above available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer forthwith on demand any such unpaid amount
together with interest thereon, for the first Business Day after payment was first due at the Federal Funds Rate and, thereafter, until such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, at a rate per annum equal to
the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Facility. 
 (j)    Obligations Absolute. The applicable
Applicant’s obligation to pay each Reimbursement Obligation and the obligations of the Lenders to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuers with respect to Letters of Credit 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, including the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, and irrespective of any of the following: 

(i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or
provision therein; 
 (ii)    any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to
be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 

  
 98 













 (iii)    payment by the Issuer 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; and 

(iv)    any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuer, the Lenders, the
Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.22, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or
provide a right of setoff against, the Applicant’s obligations hereunder. 
 None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuers or any of their
respective Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the Issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit, any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the
circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), 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 any other act, failure to act or other event or circumstance; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuer from liability to the
applicable Applicant to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the applicable Applicant to the extent permitted by applicable law)
suffered by the applicable Applicant that are caused by such Issuer’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, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuer (with such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment), such
Issuer 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, in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter
of Credit comply with the terms thereof, the Issuer may, in its sole discretion, either accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuer may rely exclusively on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set
forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to
such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented
pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever, 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, and any 

  
 99 













 
such acceptance, payment or refusal shall be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of the Issuer. 

(k)    Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuer shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents
purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Each Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Applicant of such demand for payment and whether such Issuer has made a disbursement thereunder;
provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the applicable Applicant of its obligation to reimburse such Issuer and the Lenders with respect to any such disbursement in accordance with paragraph (h)
of this Section 2.22. 
 (l)    Letter of Credit Obligations Determination. For all purposes of this
Agreement, the amount of a Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of
Credit after giving effect to all such increases (other than any such increase consisting of the reinstatement of an amount previously drawn thereunder and reimbursed), whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at the time of
determination. 
 (m)    Applicability of ISP and UCP. (i) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuer
and the applicable Applicant when a Letter of Credit is issued, (A) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (B) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published
by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. 

(ii)    For all purposes of this Agreement, if on any date of determination a Letter of Credit has expired
by its terms but any amount may still be drawn thereunder by reason of the operation of Rule 3.14 of the ISP, such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be “outstanding” in the amount so remaining available to be drawn. 

SECTION 2.23.    Defaulting Lender. (a) Reallocation of Defaulting Lender Commitment. Notwithstanding
any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to Section 9.26 (Collateral and Guarantee Principles Relating to US Secured Obligations), if a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the
following provisions shall apply with respect to any outstanding Loan Document Obligations: 
 (i)    the
Ratable Portion of such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit Obligations will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the date such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among
the Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments; provided that (A) the sum of each
Non-Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Revolving Credit Outstandings may not in any event exceed the Commitment of such Non-

  
 100 













 
Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (B) subject to Section 9.23 (Excluded Swap Obligations), neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuer or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender
arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased
exposure following such reallocation, or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender; 

(ii)    to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Ratable
Portion of such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit Obligations cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the first proviso in clause (i) above or otherwise, the applicable Applicant will, not later than three Business
Days after demand by the Administrative Agent (including at the direction of any applicable Issuer), (A) deposit in a cash collateral account maintained with the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated
portion of such Letter of Credit Obligations or (B) make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and to the applicable Issuer or Issuers, as the case may be, in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender; and 
 (iii)    any amount paid
by Holdings or the Borrower or otherwise received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or
distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated, non-interest bearing account until (subject to Section 2.10 (Termination and
Reduction of Commitments)) the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Loan Document Obligations hereunder and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of
payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, second to the payment of any amounts owing by such
Defaulting Lender to the Issuers under this Agreement, third to the payment of post-default interest and then current interest due and payable to the Lenders hereunder other than Defaulting Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the
amounts of such interest then due and payable to them, fourth to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of
such fees then due and payable to them, fifth to pay principal and Reimbursement Obligations then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof
then due and payable to them, sixth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders, and seventh after the termination of the Commitments and payment in
full of all Loan Document Obligations hereunder, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. 

  
 101 













 (b)    Cure. If Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and each Issuer agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice
and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.23(a) (Reallocation of Defaulting Lender Commitment)), such
Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par such portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause such Lender to hold Loans and
participate in Letter of Credit Obligations in accordance with its Ratable Portion, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender and the relevant Applicant
shall be released from the cash collateralization requirements set forth in Section 2.23(a)(ii) with respect to the unreallocated portion relating to such Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to
fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from
Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. 

SECTION 2.24.    Incremental Facilities. (a) At any time and from time to time, commencing on the Amendment
Effective Date and ending on the Latest Maturity Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the
Lenders), request to: 
 (i)    add one or more additional tranches of term loans (the
“Incremental Term Loans”); and 
 (ii)    solely during the Revolving Credit Period, on
one or more occasions, increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments (each such increase, a “Revolving Commitment Increase” and, together with the Incremental Term Loans, the “Incremental Extensions of Credit”),

 in an aggregate principal amount of up to $500,000,000. Each Incremental Term Loans and each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in an integral
multiple of $5,000,000 and be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $50,000,000; provided that such amount may be less than $50,000,000 if such amount represents all the remaining availability under the aggregate principal
amount of Incremental Extensions of Credit set forth above. 
 (b)    The effectiveness of any Incremental Facility
Amendment and the occurrence of any credit event (including the making (but not the conversion or continuation) of a Loan and the issuance, increase in the amount, or extension of a Letter of Credit thereunder) pursuant to such Incremental Facility
Amendment shall be subject to delivery of a Borrowing Request in accordance with Section 2.03 (Notice of  

  
 102 













 
Borrowings) and the satisfaction of the following conditions and such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree: 

(i)    no Default or Event of Default (or, in the event the proceeds of any Incremental Extension of Credit
are used to finance any acquisition or Investment permitted hereunder, no Event of Default under Sections 7(a), 7(h) or 7(i)) has occurred and is continuing or shall result therefrom, 

(ii)    the representations and warranties of the Borrower and each other Loan Party, as applicable, set
forth in the Loan Documents would be true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of representations and warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects) on and as of the date of, and immediately after giving effect to, the
incurrence of such Incremental Extension of Credit (except in the case of a representation and warranty that expressly relates to a prior date, in which case such representation and warranty is true and correct in all material respects (or in all
respects, as applicable) as of such earlier date) (or, in the event the proceeds of any Incremental Extension of Credit are used to finance any acquisition or Investment permitted hereunder, such condition precedent set forth in this
clause (b)(ii) may be limited to (x) customary specified representations and warranties with respect to Holdings, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries and (y) customary specified acquisition agreement representations with
respect to the Person to be acquired or Person in which such Investment is to be made), 
 (iii)    the
financial covenants contained in Sections 6.12 (Interest Expense Coverage Ratio) and 6.13 (Leverage Ratio) would be satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis on and as of the date of, and immediately after giving effect to, the incurrence of
such Incremental Extension of Credit and the application of the proceeds therefrom (and assuming, for the purposes of this Section 2.24(b)(iii) only, that the full amount of Commitments under such Incremental Extension of Credit shall have been
funded as Loans as of such date), 
 (iv)    Holdings shall have delivered a certificate of a Financial
Officer to the effect that and to the effect set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, together with reasonably detailed calculations demonstrating compliance with clause (iii) above (which calculations shall, if made as of the
last day of any fiscal quarter of Holdings for which Holdings has not delivered to the Administrative Agent the financial statements and certificate of a Financial Officer required to be delivered by Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b) and
Section 5.01(c), respectively, be accompanied by a reasonably detailed calculation of Consolidated EBITDA for the relevant period), and 

(v)    all fees and expenses owing in respect of such Incremental Extension of Credit to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders have been paid. 
 (c)    The parties intend that each Incremental Extension of Credit (including
any related Loan Document Obligations), if secured by the Collateral, shall be 

  
 103 













 
secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the other Secured Obligations (notwithstanding, for the avoidance of doubt, the classification of any Lien or Security Document securing all
or any portion of such Incremental Extension of Credit as “second ranking” under applicable law in any Specified Collateral Jurisdiction) and no Incremental Extension of Credit shall be guaranteed by any Person other than the Loan Parties
or be secured by any assets other than the Collateral. 
 (d)    Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this
Section 2.24 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Extension of Credit. Any additional bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person that elects to extend commitments in respect of
any Incremental Extension of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any Revolving Commitment Increase, each Issuer) (any such bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other
Person being called an “Additional Lender”) and, if not already a Lender, shall become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as
appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, such Additional Lender and the Administrative Agent. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Extension of Credit unless it so agrees. Commitments in respect of any
Incremental Extension of Credit shall become Commitments (or in the case of any Revolving Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Lender, an increase in such Lender’s Commitment) under this Agreement upon the effectiveness of the
applicable Incremental Facility Amendment. One or more additional financial maintenance covenants may be added to this Agreement for the benefit of any Incremental Extension of Credit so long as such financial maintenance covenants are for the
benefit of all Lenders in respect of all Loans and Commitments outstanding at the time that the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment becomes effective. 

(e)    On the date of effectiveness of any Revolving Commitment Increase, (i) the aggregate principal amount of the
Loans outstanding (the “Existing Revolving Borrowings”) immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase shall be deemed to be repaid, (ii) each Additional Lender providing a portion of such
Revolving Commitment Increase (each, a “Revolving Commitment Increase Lender”) that shall have had a Commitment prior to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase shall pay to the Administrative Agent in same day funds
an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which (A) (1) such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender’s Ratable Portion (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase) multiplied by
(2) the aggregate principal amount of the Resulting Revolving Borrowings (as hereinafter defined) exceeds (B) (1) such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender’s Ratable Portion (calculated without giving effect to the effectiveness
of such Revolving Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Revolving Borrowings, (iii) each Revolving Commitment Increase Lender that did not have a Commitment prior to the effectiveness
of such Revolving Commitment Increase shall pay to Administrative Agent in same day funds an amount equal to (1) such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender’s Ratable Portion (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such
Revolving Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the aggregate 

  
 104 













 
principal amount of the Resulting Revolving Borrowings, (iv) after the Administrative Agent receives the funds specified in clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the Administrative Agent
shall pay to each Lender the portion of such funds that is equal to the amount, if any, by which (A) (1) such Lender’s Ratable Portion (calculated without giving effect to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase)
multiplied by (2) the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Revolving Borrowings, exceeds (B) (1) such Lender’s Ratable Portion (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment
Increase) multiplied by (2) the aggregate principal amount of the Resulting Revolving Borrowings, (v) after the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase, the Borrower shall be deemed to have made new Borrowings (the
“Resulting Revolving Borrowings”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Revolving Borrowings and of the Types and for the Interest Periods specified in a Borrowing request delivered
to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.03 (Notice of Borrowings) (and the Borrower shall deliver such Borrowing request), (vi) each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to hold its Ratable Portion of each Resulting
Revolving Borrowing (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase) and (vii) the Borrower shall pay each Lender any and all accrued but unpaid interest on its Loans comprising the Existing Revolving
Borrowings. The deemed payments of the Existing Revolving Borrowings made pursuant to clause (i) above shall be subject to compensation by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.14 (Indemnity) if the date of the
effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase occurs other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto. Upon each Revolving Commitment Increase pursuant to this Section 2.24, each Lender immediately prior to such increase
will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Revolving Commitment Increase Lender, and each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of
such Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increase and each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate
outstanding participations hereunder in Letters of Credit, in each case held by each Lender (including each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender) will equal such Lender’s Ratable Portion. Each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be on the
same terms and pursuant to the same documentation as are applicable to the Loans. 
 (f)    An Incremental Facility
Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, (i) effect such amendments to this Agreement or to any other Loan Document (or permit the entry into any other document to effect such amendments to a Loan Document or to effect the
provisions of this Section 2.24) as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower and Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.24, including, to provide for voting provisions applicable
to the Additional Lenders comparable to the provisions of Section 9.08(b), and (ii) provide for the issuance of Letters of Credit pursuant to any Revolving Commitment Increase established thereby, in each case on terms substantially
equivalent to the terms applicable to Letters of Credit under the Commitments (except for the overall size of such subfacilities, the fees payable in connection therewith and the identity of the letter of credit issuer, as applicable, which shall be
determined by Borrower, the lenders of such 

  
 105 













 
commitments and the applicable letter of credit issuers and borrowing, repayment and termination of commitment procedures with respect thereto, in each case which shall be specified in the
applicable Incremental Facility Amendment); provided that no Issuer shall be required to act as “issuing bank” under any such Incremental Facility Amendment without its written consent. 

(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 2.24 shall supersede any provisions in
Section 2.15 (Pro Rata Treatment) or Section 9.08 (Waivers; Amendment) to the contrary. 
 ARTICLE III

SECTION 3.01.    Organization. Each of Holdings, the Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary is duly organized,
validly existing and, where applicable, in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation (or other entity, as applicable) and, where applicable, is in good standing in
all other jurisdictions in which the ownership of its properties or the nature of its activities or both makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that failure to be so qualified, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.02.    Authorization. Each Loan Party has
the requisite power and authority, corporate or otherwise, to carry on its business as now conducted, to execute, deliver and carry out the Transactions and the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party, or to
become a party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with the terms hereof and the terms of each other Loan Document, to borrow hereunder (if applicable) and to perform its obligations under each Loan Document to which it is a
party, and all such action has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary proceedings, corporate or otherwise, on its part. 

SECTION 3.03.    Enforceability. This Agreement and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party
have been duly executed and delivered by each such Loan Party and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency
or other similar laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general principles of equity limiting the availability of equitable remedies. 

SECTION 3.04.    Governmental Approvals. No material authorization, consent, approval, license, exemption or other
action by, and no registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority is necessary in connection with the Transactions except (a) such as have been obtained or


  
 106 













 
made and are in full force and effect (or, in the case of filings relating to the consummation of the Spin-Off, such as will be obtained or made and will
be in full force and effect substantially concurrently with the initial Borrowings on the Initial Funding Date) and (b) filings necessary to perfect Liens created under the Loan Documents. 

SECTION 3.05.    No Conflict. None of the execution and delivery by Holdings and the Borrower of this Agreement and
by each Loan Party of each other Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party, the consummation by such Loan Party of the Transactions or performance by the Loan Parties of or compliance by the Loan Parties with the terms and conditions hereof
or thereof will (a) violate any Requirement of Law applicable to Holdings, the Borrower or any Loan Party, (b) conflict with or result in a breach or default under its charter or Memorandum and Articles of Association or by-laws (or equivalent organizational or governing documents), as applicable, or any AWAC Agreement, (c) conflict with or result (alone or with notice or lapse of time or both) in a breach or default which is
material in the context of this Agreement under any material agreement or instrument to which any Loan Party is a party or by which it or any of its properties, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, may be subject or bound, or give rise to a
right thereunder to require any payment, repurchase or redemption to be made by Holdings, the Borrower or any Loan Party or give rise to a right of, or result in, termination, cancelation or acceleration of any obligation thereunder and
(d) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien prohibited by Section 6.02 (Liens) upon any property or assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, by Holdings, the Borrower or any Loan Party. 

SECTION 3.06.    Financial Statements. (a) The Borrower has furnished to the Lenders (or made available on the
website of the SEC as set forth in Section 5.01 (Financial Statements, Reports, etc.)) copies of (i) Holdings’s audited combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2017, and the related combined statements of
operations, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2017, all audited by and accompanied by an opinion of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent public accountants (without a “going
concern” statement or like qualification or exception and without any qualification or exception as to the scope of such audit) and (ii) unaudited combined balance sheets as of March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018 and September 30,
2018 (and comparable periods for the prior fiscal year) and the related unaudited combined statements of operations, comprehensive income and shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three months and six months, as applicable, then ended
(and comparable periods for the prior fiscal year), in each case certified by a Financial Officer of Holdings. Such financial statements (including the notes thereto) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition of Holdings and
its consolidated subsidiaries as of such dates and the results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of said balance sheets as at March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018, and September 30, 2018 and
said statements of income, shareholders equity and cash flows for the three months and six months, as applicable, then ended, to the absence of footnote disclosure and normal year-end audit adjustments), all
in conformity with GAAP consistently applied (except as otherwise disclosed in such financial statements). 

  
 107 













 (b)    The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders, to the
extent available, Holdings’s pro forma combined balance sheet as of the date hereof, prepared giving effect to the Transactions as if the Transactions had occurred on such date. Such pro forma financial statement, if furnished, (i) has
been prepared by Holdings in good faith, based on the assumptions used to prepare the pro forma financial statements included in the Information Memorandum (which assumptions are believed by Holdings and the Borrower on the date hereof to be
reasonable), (ii) is based on the best information available to Holdings and the Borrower as of the date of delivery thereof after due inquiry, (iii) accurately reflects all adjustments determined by Holdings in good faith to be necessary to
give effect to the Transactions and (iv) presents fairly, in all material respects, the pro forma financial position of Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries as of such date as if the Transactions had occurred on such date. 

SECTION 3.07.    No Defaults. No event has occurred and is continuing and no condition exists which constitutes a
Default or Event of Default hereunder. 
 SECTION 3.08.    Litigation and Environmental Matters. Except as set
forth in the financial statements referred to in Section 3.06 (Financial Statements) and the Effective Date Form 10 or otherwise disclosed on Schedule 3.08 (each matter so disclosed, a “Disclosed
Matter”): 
 (a)    there is no pending or, to the knowledge of Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted
Subsidiary, threatened action, suit, investigation or proceeding by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority (i) against Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or that involve the Transactions, that in each case, has a
reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve any of the Loan Documents. 

(b)    except with respect to any matters that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect, none of Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (i) has failed to comply with any applicable Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required
under any applicable Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental
Liability. 
 SECTION 3.09.    No Material Adverse Change. Except as set forth in the financial statements
referred to in Section 3.06 (Financial Statements) and the Effective Date Form 10, there has been no event, change or condition that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect on the business, assets,
liabilities (contingent or otherwise), operations or financial condition of Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, since December 31, 2017. 

SECTION 3.10.    Employee Benefit Plans. (a) U.S. Plans. Each Plan is in compliance with all requirements of
ERISA and the regulations and published 

  
 108 













 
interpretations thereunder except to the extent such non-compliance could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Reportable
Event has occurred as to which Holdings, the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate was required to file a report with the PBGC that alone or together with any other Reportable Event would reasonably be expected to result in a
liability of such Borrower to the PBGC in an aggregate amount in excess of $50,000,000. The aggregate present value of all benefit liabilities under the Plans (based on the assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual
valuation dates applicable thereto, exceed the aggregate value of the assets of the Plans by more than 10% of Consolidated Net Worth. None of Holdings, the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any Withdrawal
Liability that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of Holdings, the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate has received any notification that any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization or
has been terminated within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA, and none of Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary has knowledge of any fact which would reasonably be expected to result in the reorganization or termination of a
Multiemployer Plan where such reorganization or termination has resulted or would reasonably be expected to result, through increases in the contributions required to be made to such Plan or otherwise, in a Material Adverse Effect. 

(b)    Foreign Plans. Each Foreign Plan is in compliance with all requirements of law applicable thereto and the
respective requirements of the governing documents for such plan except to the extent such non-compliance could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to each Foreign
Pension Plan, none of Holdings, the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary, their respective Affiliates or any of their directors, officers, employees or agents has engaged in a transaction which would subject Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted
Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to a tax or civil penalty which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to each Foreign Plan, the aggregate unfunded liabilities, after giving effect to any reserves for
liabilities, with respect to the Foreign Pension Plans maintained or contributed to by Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There are no actions, suits or claims
(other than routine claims for benefits) pending or threatened in writing against any of Holdings, the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their Affiliates with respect to any Foreign Plan which could reasonably be expected, individually
or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.11.    Title to Properties; Possession
Under Leases; IP. (a)Each of Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries has good title to (or the equivalent in foreign jurisdictions), or valid leasehold interests in, all its material properties and assets (including, after the
Initial Funding Date, the Mortgaged Property), except for any failures to have such title or interest that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All such property is free and clear of Liens, other than Liens created
under the Loan Documents and any Liens permitted by Section 6.02 (Liens). 

  
 109 













 (b)    Except where failure to comply would not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) each of Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries has complied with all obligations under all leases to which it is a party and all such leases are in full force and effect, and (ii) each
of Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under all such leases. 

(c)    (i) Except for any infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect, (A) the use by Holdings, the Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary of trademarks and tradenames, does not infringe any trademarks or tradenames of any other Person; and (B) the use, production, and sale of
products by Holdings, the Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary does not infringe any trade secrets, copyrights, patents or other intellectual property of any other Person; and (ii) no claim or litigation by any Person alleging infringement
of any trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents, trade secrets or other intellectual property owned or used by (to the extent such claim or litigation is a result of the use thereof) Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary is pending
or threatened in writing against Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

(d)    As of the Amendment Effective Date, none of Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary has received
written notice of, any pending condemnation proceeding affecting any Mortgaged Property or any sale or disposition thereof in lieu of condemnation. Neither any Mortgaged Property nor any interest therein is subject to any right of first refusal,
option or other contractual right to purchase such Mortgaged Property or interest therein (other than in connection with a sale permitted by Section 6.05 (Asset Sales)). 

SECTION 3.12.    Investment Company Act. None of Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor is
required to be registered as an “investment company” under, the Investment Company Act of 1940. 
 SECTION
3.13.    Tax Returns. Each of Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all material Federal, State, local and foreign tax returns required to have been filed by it in all
jurisdictions in which such tax returns are required to be filed and all such tax returns are true, complete and correct, except as would not be reasonably expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each of
Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries has paid or caused to be paid all material taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments received by it, except taxes that are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves are maintained on the applicable financial statements in accordance with GAAP. As of the date of this Agreement, the Dutch CIT Fiscal Unity consists of Dutch Loan Parties only. 

SECTION 3.14.    Compliance with Laws and Agreements. (a) Each of Holdings, the Borrower and each Restricted
Subsidiary is in compliance with all 

  
 110 













 
Requirements of Law, except where the failure to comply, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

(b)    None of Holdings, the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary is in default in any material manner under any
provision of any indenture or other agreement or instrument evidencing Indebtedness, or any other material agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets are or may be bound, where such default would
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.15.    Disclosure; No Material
Misstatements. Except for information not prepared by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary and expressly disclaimed thereby, no information, report, financial statement, certificate, exhibit or schedule furnished
by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to any Arranger, the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or included herein or therein
or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto (as modified or supplemented by other information so provided) contained or contains any material misstatement of fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were or are made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, each of Holdings and the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good
faith based upon assumptions believed by it to be reasonable at the time so furnished and, if such projected financial information was furnished prior to the Amendment Effective Date, as of the Amendment Effective Date (it being understood and
agreed that any such projected financial information may vary from actual results and that such variations may be material). 
 SECTION
3.16.    Use of Proceeds; Federal Reserve Regulations. The proceeds of any Loan, any Incremental Extension of Credit (unless otherwise provided in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment) and any Letter of Credit
will be used as set forth in Section 5.11 (Use of Proceeds and Letters of Credit). None of Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary is engaged or will engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business
of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly,
and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for any purpose that entails a violation (including on the part of any Lender) of any regulations of the Board, including Regulations U and X. 

SECTION 3.17.    Sanctions; Anti-Corruption Laws. Holdings and the Borrower have implemented and maintain in effect
policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance by Holdings, the Borrower, the Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, and employees with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects and are
not knowingly engaged in any activity that would reasonably be expected to result in the Borrower being designated as a Sanctioned Person. None of Holdings, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or, to the knowledge of


  
 111 













 
Holdings, the Borrower or such Subsidiary, any of their respective directors or officers is a Sanctioned Person. 

SECTION 3.18.    Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.18 sets forth the name and jurisdiction of
organization of, and the ownership interest of Holdings, the Borrower and each Subsidiary in, each Subsidiary and identifies each Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Loan Party as of the Spin Off Date. The Equity Interests in the Borrower and each
Restricted Subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, and such Equity Interests are owned by Holdings or the Borrower, directly or indirectly, free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens created
under the Loan Documents and any Liens permitted under Section 6.02 (Liens)). Except as set forth in Schedule 3.18, there is no existing option, warrant, call, right, commitment or other agreement to which
Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary is a party requiring, and there are no Equity Interests in any Restricted Subsidiary outstanding that upon exercise, conversion or exchange would require, the issuance by the Borrower or any
Restricted Subsidiary of any additional Equity Interests or other securities exercisable for, convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the right to subscribe for or purchase any Equity Interests in the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary.

 SECTION 3.19.    [Reserved]. 

SECTION 3.20.    Solvency. Immediately after the consummation of the Transactions to occur on the Spin-Off Date and immediately following the making of each Loan and the application of the proceeds thereof, and giving effect to the rights of indemnification, subrogation and contribution under the Collateral
Agreement, (a) the sum of the debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of Holdings and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will not exceed the present fair saleable value of the present assets of Holdings and its
subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, (b) the capital of Holdings and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will not be unreasonably small for the conduct of their business as such business is conducted or proposed to be conducted at such
time, (c) Holdings and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will not have incurred, and will not intend to incur, or believe that they will incur, debts and liabilities (contingent or otherwise) including current obligations, beyond their
ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they become due (whether at maturity or otherwise), (d) the present fair saleable value of the assets of Holdings and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will be greater than the total amount
that will be required to pay the probable debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities), on a consolidated basis, of Holdings and its subsidiaries as they become due (whether at maturity or otherwise) and (e) Holdings and its
subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will be “solvent” within the meaning given to that term and similar terms under applicable laws relating to fraudulent transfers and conveyances. For purposes of this Section 3.20, the amount of
any contingent liability at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability. 

SECTION 3.21.    Collateral Matters. (a) The Collateral Agreement, upon execution and delivery thereof by the
parties thereto, will create in favor of the 

  
 112 













 
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral (as defined therein) and (i) when the Collateral (as defined
therein) constituting certificated securities (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) is delivered to the Administrative Agent, together with instruments of transfer duly endorsed in blank, the security interest created under the Collateral
Agreement will constitute a fully perfected security interest in all right, title and interest of the pledgors thereunder in such Collateral, prior and superior in right to any other Person (in each case, subject to any Liens permitted under
Section 6.02 (Liens)), (ii) when control agreements required under the Collateral Agreement have been entered into with respect to deposit accounts (other than Excluded Deposit Accounts) constituting Collateral, will constitute a
fully perfected security interest in all right, title and interest of the applicable Loan Parties in such deposit accounts and (iii) when Uniform Commercial Code financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the applicable filing
offices, the security interest created under the Collateral Agreement will constitute a fully perfected security interest in all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Collateral (as defined therein) to the extent perfection can be
obtained by filing Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, prior and superior to the rights of any other Person, except for rights secured by Liens permitted under Section 6.02 (Liens). 

(b)    Each Mortgage, upon execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto, will create in favor of the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable first lien security interest in all the applicable mortgagor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Properties subject thereto and the
proceeds thereof, and when the Mortgages have been filed in the appropriate filing or recording office in the jurisdictions specified therein, the Mortgages will constitute a fully perfected security interest in all right, title and interest of the
mortgagors in the Mortgaged Properties and the proceeds thereof, prior and superior to the rights of any other Person, except for rights secured by Liens permitted under Section 6.02 (Liens). 

(c)    Upon the recordation of the Collateral Agreement (or a short-form security agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, and the filing of the financing statements referred to in
paragraph (a) of this Section 3.21, the security interest created under the Collateral Agreement will constitute a fully perfected security interest in all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Intellectual Property (as
defined in the Collateral Agreement) in which a security interest may be perfected by filing in the United States, in each case prior and superior to the rights of any other Person, except for rights secured by Liens permitted under
Section 6.02 (Liens) (it being understood that subsequent recordings in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office may be necessary to perfect a security interest in such Intellectual Property
acquired by the Loan Parties after the Initial Funding Date). 
 (d)    Each Security Document, other than the
Collateral Agreement, the Guarantee Agreement and the Mortgages, upon execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto and the making of the filings and taking of the other actions provided for therein, will be effective under applicable law to
create in favor of the Administrative 

  
 113 













 
Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral subject thereto, and will constitute a fully perfected security interest in all right,
title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Collateral subject thereto, prior and superior to the rights of any other Person, except for rights secured by Liens permitted under Section 6.02 (Liens). 

SECTION 3.22.    Centre of Main Interest and Establishments. (a) The centre of main interest (as that term is
used in Article 3(1) of the Insolvency Regulation) of each Dutch Loan Party is situated in its jurisdiction of incorporation. 

(b)    The Borrower does not have an establishment (as that term is used in Article 2(10) of the Insolvency Regulation)
situated outside of its jurisdiction of incorporation.

with the initial borrowing under the Facility, in accordance with applicable law and, in all material respects, consistent with the information set forth in the Effective Date Form 10. 

(h)    The Administrative Agent shall have received prior to the Spin-Off Date

Section 6.02 (Liens) as if the covenants therein had been effective from and including the Effective Date; provided that, if any such action or event shall have occurred, the condition precedent in this paragraph shall nonetheless
be satisfied if such action or event has been cured with respect to such covenant such that, as of the Initial Funding Date, Holdings and the Borrower are in compliance with such covenant.

Initial Funding Date, but shall be required to be delivered in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.16 (Post-Initial Funding Date Matters), (b)(i) any security interest in any asset (other than any Excluded Asset) of any Loan
Party 

  
 116

of commercially reasonable efforts to do so without undue burden or expense, then the perfection of a security interest in such assets or provision of guarantee by such Loan Party shall not constitute a condition precedent to the obligations of the

Borrower shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to procure and deliver, but shall nevertheless be unable to deliver, evidence that the insurance and endorsements thereto required by Section 5.06 (Insurance) and the Security
Documents is in effect (other than with respect to flood insurance in respect of Mortgaged Properties located in a US Jurisdiction that is required under applicable law), then such delivery shall not be a condition precedent to the obligations of
the Lenders and the Issuers hereunder on the Initial Funding Date, but shall be required to be provided and delivered in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.16 (Post-Initial Funding Date Matters). 

The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the Initial Funding Date, and such notice shall be conclusive and
binding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans shall not become effective unless each of the foregoing conditions shall have been satisfied (or waived in accordance with Section 9.08 (Waivers;
Amendment)) at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Outside Date (and, in the event such conditions are not so satisfied or waived, the Commitments shall terminate at such time).]

the Collateral Release Date, those set forth in Section 3.21 (Collateral Matters)) shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of representations and warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects) on and
as of the date of such Borrowing or such Issuance, as applicable, with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such


  
 117 













 
representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects, as applicable) as of such earlier date. 

(c)    At the time of and immediately after such Borrowing or such Issuance, as applicable, no Event of Default or Default
shall have occurred and be continuing. 
 Each Borrowing (provided that a conversion or a continuation of a Borrowing shall not
constitute a “Borrowing” for purposes of this Section 4.03 and each Issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by Holdings and the Borrower on the date thereof as to the matters
specified in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 4.03.

 Each notice delivered under
this Section 5.02 shall be accompanied by a statement of a Financial Officer or other executive officer of Holdings or the Borrower setting forth the details of the event or development requiring such notice and any action taken or proposed to

required pursuant to the Supplemental Perfection Certificate and indicating, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, any changes in such information from the most recent Supplemental Perfection Certificates delivered
pursuant to this Section 5.03 or (ii) certifying that there has been no change in such information from the most recent Supplemental Perfection Certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 5.03. Supplemental Perfection Certificates

annual basis. 
 SECTION 5.04.    Maintenance of Properties. Each of Holdings and the Borrower shall, and shall
cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, maintain and keep its material real properties in good working order and condition, except for ordinary wear and tear and for any damage from casualty or condemnation, or where the failure to maintain such
properties would, individually or in the aggregate, not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.04 shall prevent Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted
Subsidiary, as applicable, from selling, abandoning or otherwise disposing of any of its respective properties or discontinuing a part of its respective businesses from time to time if, (i) in the judgment of such Person, such sale,
abandonment, disposition or discontinuance is advisable and (ii) in the case of a sale or other disposition, is a transaction permitted under Section 6.05 (Asset Sales). 

SECTION 5.05.    Obligations and Taxes. Each of Holdings and the Borrower shall, and shall cause each Restricted
Subsidiary to, pay its Indebtedness and other obligations that, if not paid, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect before the same shall become delinquent or in default, and pay and
discharge all material Taxes upon or against it, or against its properties, and all material claims which could reasonably be expected, if unpaid, to become a Lien upon its property (other than a Lien permitted under Section 6.02
(Liens)), in each case prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto, unless and to the extent that (a) any such obligation, claim or Tax is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (b) adequate reserves with

Borrower or any Subsidiaries in the context of the Spin-Off shall not be deemed to be such a cancellation and no notice shall be required to be delivered by the applicable insurer with respect thereto). With
respect to each Mortgaged Property located in a US Jurisdiction that is located in an area determined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to have special flood hazards, the applicable Loan Party will obtain (in the case of each Mortgaged
Property listed on Schedule 1.02, not later than the later of (x) the date on which a Mortgage for such Mortgaged Property is executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent and (y) the Initial Funding Date,
unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), and will maintain, with reputable insurance companies, such flood insurance as is required under applicable law, including Regulation H of the Board (including polices of
such insurance). The Borrower will furnish to the Lenders, upon request of the Administrative Agent, information in reasonable detail as to the insurance so maintained. The provisions of this Section 5.06 are subject to the penultimate

entries, in all material respects, in conformity with GAAP and all Requirements of Law are made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities. Each of Holdings and the Borrower shall, and shall cause each Restricted
Subsidiary to, permit any representatives 

  
 123 













 
designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect its properties, to examine and make extracts from its books and records, and to discuss
its affairs, finances and condition with its officers and independent accountants, all at such reasonable times (during normal business hours) and as often as reasonably requested; provided, however, that, excluding any such visits and
inspections during the continuation of an Event of Default, (a) only the Administrative Agent, acting individually or on behalf of the Lenders, may exercise rights under this Section 5.09 and (b) the Administrative Agent shall not
exercise the rights under this Section 5.09 more often than one time during any calendar year. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.09, none of Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary will be required to

 SECTION
5.10.    Compliance with Laws. (a) Each of Holdings and the Borrower shall, and shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, comply with all Requirements of Law with respect to it or its property, such that no failure

applicable provisions of ERISA and all other related applicable laws and furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender (i) as soon as possible, and in any event within 30 days after such Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate either knows or has
reason to know that any ERISA Event has occurred that alone or together with any other ERISA Event would reasonably be expected to result in liability of such Borrower to the PBGC in an aggregate amount exceeding $50,000,000, a statement of a
Financial Officer setting forth details as to such ERISA Event and the action proposed to be taken with respect thereto, together with a copy of the notice, if any, of such ERISA Event given to the PBGC or other Governmental Authority,
(ii) promptly after receipt thereof, a copy of any notice such Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate may receive from the PBGC or other Governmental Authority relating to the intention of the PBGC or other Governmental Authority to terminate any Plan

imposition of Withdrawal Liability in excess of $50,000,000, or (B) a determination that a Multiemployer Plan is, or is expected to be, terminated or in reorganization, in each case within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA, if such termination
or reorganization would reasonably be expected to result, alone or with any other such termination or reorganization, in increases in excess of $50,000,000 in the contributions required to be made to the relevant Plan or Plans. 

SECTION 5.11.    Use of Proceeds and Letters of Credit. (a) The proceeds of the Loans made on the Initial
Funding Date will be used solely for the payment of (i) first, Transaction Costs and (ii) second, to the extent of the remaining proceeds thereof, working capital and other general corporate purposes of Holdings, the Borrower and
the Restricted Subsidiaries. The proceeds of the Loans drawn after the Initial Funding Date, as well as any Incremental Extension of Credit (unless otherwise provided in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment), will be used solely for working
capital and other general corporate purposes (including Permitted Acquisitions) of Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used in violation of the representation set forth in
Section 3.16 (Use of Proceeds; Federal Reserve Regulations). Letters of Credit will be issued only to support obligations of Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries incurred in the ordinary course of business;
provided that US Letters of Credit will be issued only to support the obligations of Holdings or any Domestic Subsidiary. 

(b)    The Borrower will not request any Borrowing or Letter of Credit, and neither Holdings nor the Borrower shall use,
and each shall procure that the Subsidiaries shall not use, the proceeds of any Borrowing or any Letter of Credit, or make the proceeds thereof available to any other Person, (i) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or
authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (ii) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating the
activities of or any transaction with any Sanctioned Person or in any Sanctioned Country except to the extent permissible for a Person required to comply with Sanctions or (iii) in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions

SECTION 5.12.    Additional Subsidiaries. If any additional Subsidiary (other than any Subsidiary that is not a
Designated Subsidiary pursuant to clauses (b) and (f) of such definition) is formed or acquired after the Initial Funding Date (or any Subsidiary becomes a Designated Subsidiary), then the Borrower shall, as promptly as practicable and, in
any event, within 30 days (in the case of a Domestic Subsidiary) or 60 days (in the case of a Foreign Subsidiary), or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, agree to in writing) after such Subsidiary is
formed or 

  
 125 













 
acquired (or any Subsidiary becomes a Designated Subsidiary), notify the Administrative Agent thereof and cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be satisfied with respect to such
Subsidiary (if it is or becomes a Designated Subsidiary) and with respect to any Equity Interest in or Indebtedness of such Subsidiary owned by or on behalf of any Loan Party (consistent with the definition of “Collateral and Guarantee

remain satisfied, all at the expense of the Loan Parties and in each case subject to the Guaranty and Security Principles. Each of Holdings and the Borrower also agrees to provide to the Administrative Agent, from time to time upon reasonable
request, evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as to the perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Security Documents; provided that, from and after the Collateral Release Date, the
Loan Parties shall only be required to cause the Guarantee Requirement to be satisfied in accordance with this Section 5.13. 

(b)    Prior to the Collateral Release Date and subject to the Guaranty and Security Principles, if any material assets
(including Material Real Property, but excluding (A) any Excluded Assets and (B) any material assets owned by Alcoa on the Effective Date (other than any real property set forth on Schedule 1.02) that are
transferred to or acquired by Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary by or from Alcoa in connection with the Spin-Off on or prior to the Initial Funding Date) are acquired by Holdings, the
Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party after the Effective Date (other than assets constituting Collateral under the Security Documents that become subject to the Lien created by such Security Document upon acquisition thereof), the Borrower shall
notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders thereof, and, if requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, Holdings and the Borrower shall, following the Initial Funding Date, cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing
the Global Secured Obligations or US Secured Obligations, as applicable (subject to any exceptions provided for herein or under the Security Documents and consistent with the definition of “Collateral Requirement” and the Guaranty and
Security Principles) and will take, and cause the Subsidiary Loan Parties to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect such Liens, including actions described in

definition of “Collateral Requirement” within ninety (90) days (or such longer period as 

  
 126 













 
the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) of the acquisition of such Material Real Property. 

(c)    Prior to the Collateral Release Date, if the average daily balance for any calendar month, as of the end of such
calendar month, for all deposit accounts of Loan Parties (other than concentration accounts, investment accounts, accounts already subject to a perfected security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and
accounts falling under clause (a), (c), (d) or (e) of the definition of Excluded Deposit Accounts) exceeds $100,000,000, then, within ten (10) Business Days of the end of such calendar month, the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent in writing of such excess. Subject to the Guaranty and Security Principles and upon the Administrative Agent’s request following receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, or shall cause the applicable Loan Party to, enter
into one or more Control Agreements with respect to one or more deposit accounts (which accounts shall cease to be Excluded Deposit Accounts), to be selected at the Borrower’s discretion, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, within sixty (60) days of the date such notice must be sent (or such later date as agreed to by the Administrative Agent), such that the average daily balance for the remaining deposit accounts of the Loan Parties (other
than concentration accounts, investment accounts, accounts already subject to a perfected security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and accounts falling under clause (a), (c), (d) or (e) of the
definition of Excluded Deposit Accounts) for the calendar month, as of the end of such calendar month, following the effectiveness of any such Control Agreements does not exceed $100,000,000. 

SECTION 5.14.    [Reserved]. 

SECTION 5.15.    Designation of Subsidiaries. The Borrower may at any time designate any Restricted Subsidiary as
an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (a) immediately before and after such designation, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result
from such designation and (b) immediately after giving effect to such designation, Holdings shall be in compliance on a Pro Forma Basis with the covenants set forth in Sections 6.12 (Interest Expense Coverage Ratio) and 6.13
(Leverage Ratio) recomputed as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of Holdings. The Borrower may not designate a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if, at the time of such designation (and, thereafter,
any Unrestricted Subsidiary shall cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary automatically if) such Restricted Subsidiary or any of its subsidiaries is a “restricted subsidiary” or a “guarantor” (or any similar designation) for any
Material Indebtedness. The designation of any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall constitute an Investment by the parent company of such Subsidiary therein under Section 6.04 (Investments) at the date of designation in an
amount equal to the net book value of such parent company’s Investment therein. Any Subsidiary Loan Party that is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall, upon effectiveness of such designation, cease to be a Loan Party and shall
automatically be released from any guarantee and collateral obligations. The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute the incurrence at the 

  
 127 













 
time of designation of any Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary, and the making of an Investment by such Subsidiary in any Investments of such Subsidiary, in each case existing at such time.
Prior to any designation made in accordance with this Section 5.15, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer certifying that the designation satisfies the applicable conditions set forth in
this Section 5.15 and setting forth reasonably detailed calculations demonstrating compliance with clause (b) of the first sentence of this Section 5.15.

to the Administrative 

  
 149

then, and in every such event (other than an event described in paragraph (h) or (i) above), 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 written notice to Holdings and the Borrower, take any or all of the following actions, at the same or different times and in any order the Administrative

provided in the last paragraph of this Article VII, in each case without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each of Holdings and the Borrower, anything contained herein to
the contrary notwithstanding; and in any event described in paragraph (h) or (i) above, (x) the Commitment of each Lender to

In addition to any other rights and remedies granted to the Administrative Agent, the Issuers and the Lenders in the Loan Documents, the
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Issuers, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable law and enforce all rights and
remedies as it may elect under the Security Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any
notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Loan Party or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and
realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, or consent to the use by any Loan Party of any cash collateral arising in respect of the Collateral on such terms as the Administrative Agent deems reasonable, and/or may forthwith sell, lease,
assign, give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver, or acquire by credit bid on behalf of the Issuers, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the
foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent, any Issuer, any Lender or elsewhere, upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at
such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, all without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent, any Issuer, any Lender and any other Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or
sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Loan Party, which right or equity is hereby waived and
released. Each Loan Party further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral, to the extent practical and feasible, and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall
reasonably select, whether at such Loan Party’s premises or elsewhere. Subject in all cases to Section 9.26 (Collateral and Guarantee Principles Relating to US Secured Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall apply the net
proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Article VII, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any other
way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Issuers and the Lenders hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations (the amounts so applied
to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the Secured Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution), and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of
any other amount required by any provision of law, including Section 9-615(a)(3) of the New York 

  
 155 













 
Uniform Commercial Code, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Loan Party. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Party waives all claims, damages
and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any Lender arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be
deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. 
 At any time and from time to time
(i) upon and after the Latest Maturity Date, (ii) as may be required by Section 2.11(b), Section 2.11(d), Section 2.21(d) or Section 2.23(a) (Reallocation of Defaulting Lender Commitment) or (iii) if an
Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the relevant Applicant
shall pay to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, for deposit in a cash collateral account maintained with the Administrative Agent, the amount required so that, after such payment, the aggregate funds on deposit in such cash
collateral accounts at any time equals or exceeds 103% of the Dollar Equivalent of all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations, including any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (or, with respect to the foregoing clause (ii), such other amount
as may be expressly provided for in the applicable Section); 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 relevant Applicant described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the
payment and performance of the obligations of the relevant Applicant under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest
earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the relevant Applicant’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or
profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Notwithstanding the terms of any Security Document, subject to Section 9.26 (Collateral and Guarantee Principles Relating to US Secured Obligations), moneys in such
account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of any amounts as shall have become or shall become due and payable by an Applicant to any Issuer or Lender in respect of its respective Letter of Credit Obligations or, if the
maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to (i) the consent of the Required Lenders and (ii) in the case of any such application at a time when any Lender is a Defaulting Lender (but only if, after giving effect thereto, the
remaining cash collateral shall be less than the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations of all the Defaulting Lenders), the consent of each Issuer), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative
Agent shall promptly give written notice of any such application to the relevant Applicant and the Borrower; provided, however, that the failure to give such written notice shall not invalidate any such application. If an Applicant is
required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Applicant within three


  
 156 













 
Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If an Applicant is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11(b),
Section 2.11(d) or Section 2.21(d), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Applicant to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Revolving Credit Outstandings would not exceed the
Total Commitment and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If an Applicant is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.23(a) (Reallocation of Defaulting Lender Commitment),
such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Applicant as promptly as practicable to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, no Issuer shall have any exposure in respect of any outstanding Letter of
Credit that is not fully covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or the remaining cash collateral and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 

ARTICLE VIII 
 THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 SECTION 8.01.    Authorization and Action. (a) Each Lender and each Issuer
hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors to serve as the administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and each Lender and each Issuer authorizes
the Administrative Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent under such agreements and to exercise such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States, each of the Lenders and the Issuers hereby grants to the Administrative Agent any required powers of attorney to
execute and enforce any Security Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Lender’s or such Issuer’s behalf. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender and each Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute
and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents. 

(b)    As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including enforcement
or collection), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the
written instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Loan Documents), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and each Issuer;
provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification
satisfactory to it from the Lenders and the Issuers with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law including any action that may be in violation


  
 157 













 
of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of
property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty
to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Holdings, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 
 (c)    In performing its functions and duties
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuers (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and its
duties are entirely administrative in nature. The Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents or any other relationship as the
agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender, Issuer or holder of any other Secured Obligation, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any
similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such
term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties). 

(d)    The Administrative Agent may perform any of and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or
under any other Loan Document 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 of and all their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article 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. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction
determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. 

(e)    None of the Syndication Agent, any Co-Documentation Agent or any Arranger
shall have obligations or duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall incur no liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity, but all such persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities
provided for hereunder. 
 (f)    In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any
Federal, State or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or 

  
 158 













 
similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein
expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(i)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in
respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and all other Secured Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuers and the
Administrative Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.06 (Fees), 2.07 (Interest on Loans), 2.08 (Default Interest), 2.12 (Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances), 2.18 (Taxes) and 9.05
(Expenses; Indemnity)) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (ii)    to collect and receive
any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Issuer and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent
shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Issuers or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including
under Section 9.05 (Expenses; Indemnity)). 
 (g)    The provisions of this Article are solely for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrower’s rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of Holdings, the Borrower or any
Subsidiary shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Secured
Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article. 
 SECTION
8.02.    Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. (a) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents with the consent of or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the
circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable
judgment). The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by Holdings, the Borrower, a
Lender or an Issuer, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have 

  
 159 













 
any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or
other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the
sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document,
other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for, or be responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by Holdings, the Borrower, any Subsidiary, any Lender or any Issuer as a result of,
any determination of the Revolving Credit Outstandings, any of the component amounts thereof or any portion thereof attributable to each Lender or Issuer, or any Exchange Rate or Dollar Equivalent. 

(b)    Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (i) may treat the payee of any Note as its holder
until such Note has been assigned in accordance with Section 9.04 (Successors and Assigns), (ii) may rely on the Register to the extent set forth in Section 2.05 (Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt) and
Section 9.04(b) (Assignments by Lenders), (iii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to Holdings and the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action
taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (iv) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender or Issuer and shall not be responsible to any Lender or Issuer for
any statements, warranties or representations made by or on behalf of any Loan Party in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) in determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the
Issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuer, may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to
the contrary from such Lender or Issuer sufficiently in advance of the making of such Loan or the Issuance of such Letter of Credit and (vi) shall be entitled to rely on and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or any statement made to it orally or
by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper party or parties (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof). 

SECTION 8.03.    Posting of Communications. (a) Each of Holdings and the Borrower agrees that the
Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders and the Issuers by posting the Communications on IntraLinksTM, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or a substantially


  
 160 













 
similar electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”). 

(b)    Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security
procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Effective Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the
Lenders, each of the Issuers and each of Holdings and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with
such distribution. Each of the Lenders, each of the Issuers and each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

 (c)    THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS
AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE
APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR
FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ARRANGER, ANY
CO-DOCUMENTATION AGENT, THE SYNDICATION AGENT OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER, ANY ISSUER OR
ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. 

(d)    Each Lender and each Issuer agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that
Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender and Issuer agrees (i) to notify the Administrative
Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s or Issuer’s (as applicable) email address to which the foregoing 

  
 161 













 
notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address. 

(e)    Each of the Lenders, each of the Issuers and each of Holdings and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent
may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and
policies. 
 (f)    Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer to
give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document. 
 SECTION
8.04.    The Administrative Agent Individually. With respect to its Ratable Portion, the Person serving as the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the
same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender or Issuer. The terms “Issuers”, “Lenders”, “Required Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise
indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender, Issuer or as one of the Required Lenders. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities
of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if such
Person were not acting as the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuers. 
 SECTION
8.05.    [Reserved]. 
 SECTION 8.06.    Successor Administrative Agent. (a) The
Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Issuers and the Borrower, whether or not a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed. Upon any such resignation, the
Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring
Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York
or an Affiliate of any such bank selected from among the Lenders. In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required while an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its


  
 162 













 
duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring
Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. 

(b)    Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section 8.06, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall
have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to
the Lenders, the Issuers and the Borrower, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents; provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Administrative Agent under any Security Document for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent shall
continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, remain a party to each Security Document and any other Loan Document creating a parallel debt as referred to in Section 8.07
(Parallel Debt), and continue to be entitled to the rights and bound to the obligations set forth in such Security Document and Loan Document, and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent, shall continue to
hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this Section 8.06 (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent shall
have no duty or obligation to take any further action under any Security Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest other than is necessary to give effect to the parallel debt undertaking
included in any Loan Document), and (ii) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that (A) all payments required to be
made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (B) all notices and other communications required or
contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall also directly be given or made to each Lender and each Issuer. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of
this Article and Section 9.05 (Expenses; Indemnity), as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, 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 the resigned Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and
in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (i) above. 
 (c)    For purposes of any Security
Document governed by the laws of the Netherlands or any other right of pledge governed by the laws of the Netherlands, any resignation by the Administrative Agent shall not be effective with respect to its rights under the Parallel Debts (as defined
in the Guarantee Agreement) until all rights and 

  
 163 













 
obligations under the Parallel Debts have been assigned to and assumed by the successor Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 8.07.    Parallel Debt. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to execute and deliver any documents
necessary or appropriate to create and perfect any Security Document governed by the laws of the Netherlands or any other right of pledge governed by the laws of the Netherlands for the benefit of the Secured Parties (a “Dutch Security
Document”). Without prejudice to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree to the creation of parallel debt obligations with respect to any Loan Party which agrees to provide
security pursuant to a Dutch Security Document. 
 SECTION 8.08.    Acknowledgements of Lenders and Issuers.
(a) Each Lender and each Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender or Issuer, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, 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 and each Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender or Issuer, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, 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 other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 

(b)    Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement on the Effective Date and by funding its Loans on
the Initial Funding Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption, an Incremental Facility Amendment or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged
receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date, the Initial Funding Date or the
Amendment Effective Date. 
 SECTION 8.09.    Collateral Matters. (a) Except with respect to the exercise of
setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.06 (Right of Setoff) or with respect to a Secured Party’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any
of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Secured Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured
Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. 
 (b)    In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof,
no arrangements in respect of Cash Management Services the obligations under which constitute Secured Cash Management Obligations and no Hedging Agreement the obligations under which constitute Secured Hedging Obligations, will create (or be


  
 164 













 
deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under any
Loan Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such arrangement in respect of Cash Management Services or Hedging Agreement, as applicable, shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative
Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph. 

(c)    The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to
subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02(a)(iv). The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible
for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon or any
certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders or any other Secured Party for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. 

SECTION 8.10.    Credit Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the
direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure
or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under
Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the
consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Secured Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall
be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Secured Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the
acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so
purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one
or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Secured Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any
further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle
or vehicles (provided that any 

  
 165 













 
actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or
indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles,
as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 9.08 (Waivers; Amendment) of this Agreement), (iv) the
Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Secured Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity,
partnership, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further
action, and (v) to the extent that Secured Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Secured Obligations
assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Secured Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Secured Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original
interest in such Secured Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Secured Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any
acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the Ratable Portion of the Secured Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured
Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent
may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid. 

SECTION 8.11.    Certain ERISA Matters. (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such

making by the Lenders of the Loans and the Issuers’ Issuance of Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, the Syndication

 169 













 
notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time this Agreement or any other Loan Document is executed and delivered or any credit is extended hereunder, and
shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan Document Obligation remains outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, in the event that, in connection with the refinancing or repayment in full of the credit facilities provided for herein, an Issuer shall have provided to the Administrative Agent a written consent to the release of the Lenders
from their obligations hereunder with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer (whether as a result of the obligations of the Borrower (and any other account party) in respect of such Letter of Credit having been collateralized in full
by a deposit of cash with such Issuer, or being supported by a letter of credit that names such Issuer as the beneficiary thereunder, or otherwise), then from and after such time such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit”
outstanding hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations in such Letter of Credit, and no obligations with respect thereto, under Section 2.22(g)
(Participations) or Section 2.22(h) (Reimbursements). Each Issuer agrees to provide such written consent with respect to any Letter of Credit that, in connection with the refinancing or repayment in full of the credit facilities
provided for herein, has been collateralized in full by a deposit of cash with such Issuer. The provisions of Section 2.12 (Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances), Section 2.14 (Indemnity), Section 2.18
(Taxes), clause (iii) of Section 2.23(a) (Reallocation of Defaulting Lender Commitment), Section 9.05 (Expenses; Indemnity) and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the

SECTION 9.03.    Binding Effect. (a) Except as provided in Section 4.01 and Section 4.02 (Initial

the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by fax, emailed pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a

 SECTION 9.04.    Successors and Assigns. (a) General.
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, except that (i) neither Holdings nor the Borrower may assign, delegate or
otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuer (and any attempted assignment, delegation or transfer by Holdings or the Borrower without such
consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender or Issuer may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.04. 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, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 9.04), the Arrangers, the Syndication
Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the sub-agents of the Administrative Agent and the Related Parties of each of the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

(b)    Assignments by Lenders. (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any
Lender may assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to its Commitment, the Loans and the Letters
of Credit) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of: 

(A)    the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to
a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender that is an Approved Bank, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing, for any other assignment or
delegation; provided further that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment and delegation unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received
written notice thereof; and 
 (B)    (x) the Administrative Agent, and (y) each Issuer, to the
extent such assignment would increase the assignee’s obligation under Section 2.22(g) (Participations) to participate in Letters of Credit; provided that, in each case of (x) and (y), no consent of the Administrative
Agent or any Issuer shall be required for an assignment and delegation to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund. 

(ii)    Assignments and delegations shall be subject to the following conditions: 

(A)    except in the case of an assignment and delegation to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund or an assignment and delegation of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s 

  
 171 













 
Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment and delegation (determined as of the trade date specified in the Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such assignment and delegation or, if not trade date is so specified, as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment and delegation is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less
than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that no such consent of the Borrower
shall be required if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing; 

(B)    each partial assignment and delegation shall be made as an assignment and delegation 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 $3,500; provided that (1) the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such fee in the case of any assignment and (2) with respect to any
assignment and delegation pursuant to Section 2.19 (Assignment of Loans and Commitments Under Certain Circumstances), Section 2.21(c) (Extensions of Maturity Date) or Section 9.08(c) (Waivers; Amendment), the
parties hereto agree that such assignment and delegation may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment and delegation
need not be a party thereto; 
 (D)    the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent any tax forms required by Section 2.18(g) (Taxes) and an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain MNPI) will
be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, State and foreign securities laws; 

(E)    such assignee shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12
(Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances) or 2.14 (Indemnity) than the applicable assignor would have been entitled to receive, unless the assignment to such assignee is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent or
unless the right to a greater payment results from a Change in Law after the assignee becomes a Lender with respect to such assignment; and 

  
 172 













 (F)    such assignee shall be a Person who is a
Professional Lender. 
 (iii)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to
paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto with respect to the interests assumed and, to the extent of the interest
assigned and delegated under such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender and if such Lender is an Issuer, as Issuer under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest
assigned and delegated 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 2.12 (Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances), 2.14 (Indemnity), 2.18 (Taxes) and 9.05
(Expenses; Indemnity)) and to any fees payable hereunder that have accrued for such Lender’s account but have not yet been paid); provided that, except to the extent otherwise agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a
Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment, delegation or other transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this
Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 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 Section 9.04(c) (Participations).

 (iv)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.01
(Notices) a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it and shall record in the Register the names and addresses of the Lenders and Issuers and the principal amount of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owing
to each Lender from time to time and the Commitments of each Lender. Any assignment pursuant to this Section 9.04 shall not be effective until such assignment is recorded in the Register. 

(v)    Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption (or an agreement incorporating by
reference a form of Assignment and Assumption posted on an Approved Electronic Platform) executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender
hereunder) and any tax forms required by Section 2.18(g), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04 and any written consent to such assignment to the extent required by paragraph (b) of
this Section 9.04, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give notice thereof to the Borrower; provided
that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to accept such Assignment and Assumption or so record the information contained therein if the Administrative Agent has not received any written 

  
 173 













 
consent required by this Section 9.04 or reasonably believes that such Assignment and Assumption is otherwise not in proper form, it being acknowledged that the Administrative Agent shall
have no duty or obligation (and shall incur no liability) with respect to obtaining (or confirming the receipt) of any such written consent or with respect to the form of (or any defect in) such Assignment and Assumption, any such duty and
obligation being solely with the assigning Lender and the assignee. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement until it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph and, following such recording, unless
otherwise determined by the Administrative Agent (such determination to be made in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, which determination may be conditioned on the consent of the assigning Lender and the assignee), shall be effective
notwithstanding any defect in the Assignment and Assumption relating thereto. Each assigning Lender and the assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the Administrative Agent that
such Assignment and Assumption is otherwise duly completed and in proper form, and each assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the assigning Lender and the Administrative Agent
that such assignee is an Eligible Assignee. 
 (vi)    In connection with any assignment of rights and
obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth above, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the
Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or sub-participations, or other
compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of the Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the
applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuer and each other Lender hereunder (and interest
accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Ratable Portion of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights of any Defaulting Lender
hereunder becomes effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this clause (vi), then the assignee of such interest will be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance
occurs. 
 (c)    Participations. (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent or any Issuer, sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
rights and obligations with respect to its Commitment, the Loans and Letters of Credit); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible
to the other parties hereto for the performance of such 

  
 174 













 
obligations and (C) Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the other Lenders and the Issuers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 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 proviso to Section 9.08(b) that directly and adversely affects such Participant or requires the approval of all the Lenders. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 9.04,
Holdings and the Borrower agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12 (Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances), 2.14 (Indemnity) and 2.18 (Taxes) (subject to the requirements and
the limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.18(g) (it being understood and agreed that the documentation required under Section 2.18(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it
were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment and delegation pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.15 (Pro Rata
Treatment) and 2.20 (Mitigation). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 (Right of Setoff) as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be
subject to Section 2.16 (Sharing of Setoffs) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower,
maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
(the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a
Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such
Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be
conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

(ii)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12
(Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances), 2.14 (Indemnity) or 2.18 (Taxes) than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the
participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent or unless the right to a greater payment results from a Change in Law after the Participant becomes a Participant with respect to such participation. 

  
 175 













 (d)    Certain Pledges. 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 any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority, and the
other provisions of this Section 9.04 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 9.05.    Expenses;
Indemnity. (a) Holdings and the Borrower shall upon demand pay or reimburse (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent, any Arranger, the Syndication Agent, any Co-Documentation Agent and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for any
of the foregoing (limited to one single firm of local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction), in connection with the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, as well as the preparation, negotiation,
execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any waiver, amendments or modifications of the provisions hereof or thereof, (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuer in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, any Issuer or any Lender, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of
any counsel (limited to one single firm of local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction), for any of the foregoing, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this
Section 9.05, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit Issued hereunder, including all such reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses
incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. 

(b)    Holdings and the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any
sub-agent thereof), each Lender, each Issuer, the Syndication Agent, each Co-Documentation Agent and each Arranger and each Related Party of any of the foregoing (each,
an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, penalties and related expenses, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one firm
of counsel for all such Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, of a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all such
Indemnitees, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel
for such affected Indemnitee and, if necessary, of a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for such affected Indemnitee)) of any such
Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with or as a result of (i) the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation,
execution, delivery and 

  
 176 













 
administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder 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 any Issuer 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, at, to or from any Mortgaged Property or any other property currently or formerly owned or operated by Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any other Environmental Liability related in any way to Holdings,
the Borrower or any Subsidiary or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and whether initiated against or by any party
to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Affiliate of any of the foregoing or any third party (and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available
to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (A) are found in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the willful
misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee, (B) result from a claim brought by Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary against such Indemnitee for material breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document if Holdings, the Borrower or such Subsidiary has obtained a final and non-appealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (C) result from
a proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee (other than a proceeding that is brought against the
Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any Arranger in its capacity or in fulfilling its roles as an agent, issuing bank or arranger hereunder or any similar role with respect to the Indebtedness incurred or to be incurred hereunder). This paragraph
shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. 

(c)    To the extent that Holdings and the Borrower fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required to be paid by them under
paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9.05 to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing (and without limiting their obligation
to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuer or such Related Party, 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 (it being understood and agreed that the Borrower’s failure to pay any such amount shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the
payment thereof); 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 (or such sub-agent) or such Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or any
Issuer in connection with such 

  
 177 













 
capacity. For purposes of this Section 9.05, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings and
unused Commitments, in each case at that time (or most recently outstanding and in effect). The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph are subject to the first sentence of Section 2.02(a) (Loans) (which shall apply
mutatis mutandis to the Lenders’ obligations under this paragraph). 
 (d)    To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, neither Holdings nor the Borrower shall assert, or permit any of their respective Affiliates or Related Parties to assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee (i) for any damages arising from
the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), except to the extent such damages are found in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee or (ii) 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, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions,
any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 (e)    The provisions of this Section 9.05 and
any other indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement shall (i) remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment in full of the Secured Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or
Issuer, and (ii) inure to the benefit of any Person that was at the time such claim arose an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuer agrees to use commercially reasonable
efforts to promptly notify the Borrower of any claims for indemnification or other protection under this Section 9.05; provided, however, that any failure by such Person to deliver any such notice shall not relieve Holdings or the
Borrower from its obligations under this Section 9.05. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor, but shall be subject to the requirements of reasonableness and documentation, if applicable, as set
forth herein. 
 SECTION 9.06.    Right of Setoff. Subject in all cases to Section 9.26 (Collateral and
Guarantee Principles Relating to US Secured Obligations), if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each Issuer, and each Affiliate of any of the foregoing, is hereby authorized at any time and from time to
time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) or other amounts at any time held and other obligations (in whatever
currency) at any time owing by such Lender or such Issuer or their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of Holdings or the Borrower now or hereafter existing
under this Agreement held by such Lender or such Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuer shall have made 

  
 178 













 
any demand under this Agreement or otherwise and although such obligations are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or Issuer different from the branch, office or Affiliate
holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, each Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such
Lender, such Issuer and any such Affiliate may have; provided, however, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender exercises any such right of setoff (i) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to the Administrative
Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.23 (Defaulting Lender), and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of
the Administrative Agent, the Issuers and the Lenders and (ii) the Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Secured Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to
which it exercised such rights of setoff. Each Lender and each Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or such Issuer, as applicable, or its Affiliates;
provided, however, that the failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 

SECTION 9.07.    Applicable Law. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF
ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT
REGARD TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD CALL FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. 

(b)    Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section 9.07, if any Dutch Loan Party is represented by an attorney
in connection with the signing and/or execution of this Agreement (including by way of accession to this Agreement), any other Loan Document, or any other agreement, deed or document referred to in, or made pursuant to, any Loan Document, it is
hereby expressly acknowledged and accepted by the other parties to this Agreement that the existence and extent of the attorney’s authority and the effects of the attorney’s exercise or purported exercise of his or her authority shall be
governed by the laws of the Netherlands. 
 SECTION 9.08.    Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of
the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any Loan Document 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 Lenders and the Issuers hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event
be effective 

  
 179 













 
unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the execution and delivery of any Loan Document, the making of a Loan or the 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 any Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on Holdings or the Borrower in any case shall entitle Holdings or the Borrower to any further notice or shall entitle Holdings or the
Borrower to notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
 (b)    Except as provided in Sections 2.09(b),
2.21 (Extensions of Maturity Date), 2.24 (Incremental Facilities) and 9.08(c), none of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement,
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders and, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into
by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall: 

(i)    decrease the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, reduce the rate of interest
thereon (other than any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any Loan pursuant to Section 2.08 (Default Interest), which shall only require the consent of the Required Lenders) or reduce any fees payable hereunder
(in each case, other than as a result of any change in the definition of the term “Leverage Ratio” or in any component thereof), extend the maturity of any principal payment date, any required date for the reimbursement of any
Reimbursement Obligation or any date for the payment of any interest or any fees payable hereunder, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment or Letter of Credit
Commitment, without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby, 
 (ii)    increase or
reduce (in a non-pro rata manner) the Commitment of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, 

(iii)    release the Borrower from its obligations to repay the principal amount of any Loan or
Reimbursement Obligation owing to such Lender (other than by the payment or prepayment thereof) without the prior written consent of such Lender, 

(iv)    amend or modify (A) the provisions of Section 2.10(c), Section 2.15 (Pro Rata
Treatment) or Section 2.16 (Sharing of Setoffs) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby or (B) the provisions of
this Section 9.08 or the definitions of “Required Lenders” or “Ratable Portion” (or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the 

  
 180 













 
number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or otherwise modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder), without the prior written consent of
each Lender; provided that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, the provisions of this Section 9.08 and the definition of the term “Required Lenders” may be amended to include references to any new class of loans created
under this Agreement (or to lenders extending such loans) pursuant to Section 2.24 (Incremental Facilities) and any Incremental Facility Amendment, 

(v)    amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, 
 (vi)    amend, modify or otherwise affect the
rights or duties of an Issuer under Section 2.22 (Letters of Credit) (including an Issuer’s Letter of Credit Commitment), or otherwise amend, modify or waive any provisions of Section 2.19 (Assignment of Loans and
Commitments Under Certain Circumstances) or 9.04(b)(i) affecting such Issuer’s right to consent to any allocations or assignments thereof without the prior written consent of such Issuer, 

(vii)    other than as permitted under the Loan Documents (including any release by the Administrative
Agent in connection with any sale or other disposition of any Subsidiary upon the exercise of remedies under the Security Documents), release the Guarantee of Holdings or all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees provided by the
Subsidiary Loan Parties (including, in each case, by limiting liability in respect thereof) created under the Security Documents, in each case without the written consent of each Lender, it being understood and agreed that an amendment or other
modification of the type of obligations guaranteed under the Collateral Agreement or any other Security Document shall not be deemed to be a release or limitation of any Guarantee, or 

(viii)    other than as permitted under the Loan Documents (including any release by the Administrative
Agent in connection with any sale or other disposition of the Collateral upon the exercise of remedies under the Security Documents) or as expressly permitted by Section 9.19 (Release of Liens and Guarantees), release all or
substantially all the Collateral from the Liens of or under the Security Documents without the written consent of each Lender, it being understood and agreed that an amendment or other modification of the type of obligations secured by the Security
Documents shall not be deemed to be a release of the Collateral from the Liens of or under the Security Documents. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, 

(i)    no consent with respect to any waiver, amendment or other modification of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document of the type referred to in the first proviso of this paragraph shall be required of any Lender that 

  
 181 













 
receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by, and all other amounts owing to, such Lender or accrued for the account of such Lender under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents at the time such waiver, amendment or other modification becomes effective and whose Commitments terminate by the terms and upon the effectiveness of such waiver, amendment or other modification, 

(ii)    if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, acting together, identify any ambiguity, omission,
mistake, typographical error or other defect in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend, modify, or supplement such provision to cure such ambiguity,
omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect, and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be, so long as, in each case,
the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from (x) the
Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment or (y) if affected by such amendment, any Issuer stating that it objects to such amendment; 

(iii)     the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may, without the input or consent of the other Lenders
effect changes to any Mortgage as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days prior written notice thereof and the Administrative
Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from (x) the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment or (y) if affected by such
amendment, any Issuer stating that it objects to such amendment; 
 (iv)    the Security Documents
executed by Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended and
waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local Law or advice of local
counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities or defects, or (iii) to cause the Security Documents to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including by adding additional parties as contemplated herein or therein), so long
as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice
from (x) the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment or (y) if affected by such amendment, any Issuer stating that it objects to such amendment; 

  
 182 













 (v)    the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may,
without the input or consent of the other Lenders, add any Restricted Subsidiary as a Loan Party under the Loan Documents; 

(vi)    this Agreement may be amended to provide for the extension of the Maturity Date as provided in
Section 2.21 (Extensions of Maturity Date), without any additional consents; 
 (vii)    this
Agreement may be amended as provided in Section 2.09(b), without any additional consents; and 

(viii)    this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended by the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent to provide for Incremental Extensions of Credit in the manner contemplated by Section 2.24 (Incremental Facilities), without any additional consent. 

(c)    In connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed
Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not
obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.08 being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the
Lender that is acting as Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender
and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04 (Successors and
Assigns)), 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 and each Issuer, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed, (ii) such Non-Consenting Lender shall
have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (in the case of such
principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b)
(Assignments by Lenders), (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law and (v) the assignee shall have given its consent to such Proposed Change and, as a result of such assignment and delegation and any contemporaneous
assignments and delegations and consents, such Proposed Change can be effected. 
 (d)    Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any Secured Party, consent to a departure by any Loan Party from any covenant of such Loan Party set forth in this Agreement, the Collateral Agreement or any other Security
Document to the extent such 

  
 183 













 
departure is consistent with the authority of the Administrative Agent set forth in the definition of the term “Collateral and Guarantee Requirement”. 

(e)    The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute waivers,
amendments or other modifications on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver, consent, amendment or modification authorized by this Section 9.08, shall be binding upon each Person that is at the time thereof a Lender or Issuer and each Person that
subsequently becomes a Lender or Issuer. 
 (f)    Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period
as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder and the Commitment and the outstanding Loans or other extensions of credit
of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as required, have approved any such amendment or waiver (and the definition of “Required Lenders” will
automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period); provided that any such amendment or waiver that would increase or extend the term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed for the
payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting
Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. 

SECTION 9.09.    Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and subject in all
cases to Section 9.26 (Collateral and Guarantee Principles Relating to US Secured Obligations), if at any time the applicable interest rate applicable to any Loan or any participation in any Reimbursement Obligation, together with all
fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged,
received, taken or reserved by the Lender or Issuer holding such Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or participation therein, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken,
received or reserved by such Lender or Issuer in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan, Reimbursement Obligation or participation therein, 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 or participation therein but were not payable as a result of the operation of this
Section 9.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender or Issuer in respect of other Loans or Reimbursement Obligations or participations therein or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate
therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the NYFRB Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender or Issuer; provided that in no event will such increases resulting from a Maximum Rate
limitation in respect of 

  
 184 













 
US Loan Document Obligations apply to Loans or Reimbursement Obligations or participations therein for the account of the Borrower. 

SECTION 9.10.    Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with
respect to fee arrangements related hereto or the syndication of the Commitments constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof, and supersede any previous agreements or understandings, oral or written, with
respect to the subject matter hereof (but do not supersede any provisions of any engagement letter or any related fee letters that expressly do not, by the terms of such documents, terminate upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, all of which
provisions shall remain in full force and effect). 
 SECTION 9.11.    Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto
hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (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 and the other Loan Documents,
as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 9.11. 
 SECTION
9.12.    Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, (i) the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and (ii) the invalidity of such provision in such jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The
parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as reasonably possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions. 
 SECTION 9.13.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03 (Binding Effect). 

SECTION 9.14.    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 are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

SECTION 9.15.    Jurisdiction, Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United 

  
 185 













 
States of America, in each case, sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, 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 shall be heard and determined in such New York
State court or, to the fullest 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, any Lender or any Issuer may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any
Loan Party or any of its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (b)    Each party hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally waives, 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 or any
other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (a) above. 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. 
 (c)    Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the
manner provided for notices in Section 9.01 (Notices). Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 

(d)    To the extent that any party hereto has, or hereafter may be entitled to claim, any immunity (whether sovereign or
otherwise) from suit, jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution or otherwise) with respect to itself, such party hereby waives such immunity
in respect of its obligations hereunder and any other Loan Document to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section 9.15(d) shall be
effective to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (as amended, and together with any successor legislation) and are, and are intended to be, irrevocable for purposes thereof. 

SECTION 9.16.    Conversion of Currencies. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is
necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may legally and effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with
normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency in the City of New York, on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given. 

(b)    The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or
any Issuer hereunder or under the 

  
 186 













 
other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the
applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, of any sum
adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender or such Issuer, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of
the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuer from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such
judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender or such Issuer, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any
Lender or Issuer in such currency the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law). 

SECTION 9.17.    National Security Laws. (a) Each Lender, each Issuer and the Administrative Agent (for itself
and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name
and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender, such Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, and each Loan Party agrees to provide such
information from time to time to such Lender, such Issuer and the Administrative Agent, as applicable. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and is effective for each Lender, each Issuer and the
Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 9.18.    Confidentiality. Each Lender, each Issuer, the Administrative Agent,
the Syndication Agent, each Co-Documentation Agent, and each Arranger agree to use all reasonable efforts to keep the Information (as defined below) confidential, except that Information may be disclosed
(a) to such Person’s Related Parties that are or are expected to be involved in the evaluation of such information in connection with the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, it being understood and agreed 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 the extent such Information presently is or hereafter becomes available (i) publicly other
than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.18 or (ii) to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing on a non-confidential basis from a source
other than Holdings or the Borrower or any advisor, agent, employee or other representative thereof in each case that identified itself as such, (c) to the extent disclosure is required by law, regulation or judicial order or requested or
required by bank regulators or auditors, (d) to current or prospective assignees, participants and Approved Funds, grantees described in Section 9.04 (Successors and Assigns), any actual or prospective direct or indirect contractual


  
 187 













 
counterparties to any Hedging Agreement relating to Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary and its Secured Obligations, and to their respective Related Parties, in each case subject to such
assignees, participants, Approved Funds, grantees or counterparties having entered into an agreement containing confidentiality undertakings at least as restrictive as the provisions of this Section 9.18, (e) on a confidential basis to
(i) any rating agency in connection with rating Holdings, the Borrower or the Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided for herein or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring
of CUSIP numbers with respect to the credit facilities provided for herein, (f) disclosures in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (g) disclosures required or requested by any Governmental Authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any
self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) or pursuant to legal or judicial process, (h) to any other party to this Agreement and (i) with the prior written consent of the Borrower. For purposes
of this Section 9.18, “Information” means all information received from Holdings or the Borrower relating to Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or their businesses, other than (i) any such information that is
available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by Holdings or the Borrower and (ii) information pertaining to this Agreement routinely
provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry; provided that, in the case of information received from Holdings or the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is
clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.18 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. It is agreed that, notwithstanding the restrictions of any prior confidentiality agreement binding
on any Arranger or the Administrative Agent, such parties may disclose Information as provided in this Section 9.18. 
 SECTION
9.19.    Release of Liens and Guarantees. (a) Subject to the reinstatement provisions set forth in any Security Document, a Subsidiary Loan Party shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Loan
Documents, and all security interests created by the Security Documents in Collateral owned by such Subsidiary Loan Party shall be automatically released: 

(i)    upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement or other external event that
does not result in a breach or default of any Loan Document as a result of which such Subsidiary Loan Party ceases to be a Designated Subsidiary; provided that, if so required by this Agreement, the Required Lenders (or such greater number of
Lenders as shall be required hereunder) shall have consented to such transaction and the terms of such consent shall not have provided otherwise; and 

  
 188 













 (ii)    upon any sale or other transfer by any Loan
Party (other than to (x) Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or to (y) any Subsidiary that, upon the consummation of such sale or other transfer would be required to become a Loan Party, but not, in the case of (x) and
(y), any Receivables Entity) of any Collateral in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest created under any Security Document in any Collateral pursuant
to Section 9.08 (Waivers; Amendment), the security interests in such Collateral created by the Security Documents shall be automatically released. 

(b)    Each Loan Party shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Security Documents (other than the
Guarantee Agreement to which it is a party) and all Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral shall automatically be released, and the Collateral Requirement shall no longer be applicable to the Loan Parties, in
the event that: 
 (i)    the Investment Grade Rating Condition shall have been satisfied; 

(ii)    the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a written notice, signed by a
Financial Officer or other executive of the Borrower, which shall specify that the Investment Grade Rating Condition has been satisfied and set forth the Borrower’s request that the Administrative Agent execute and deliver all documents, and
take all such actions and provide all such authorizations, to evidence the release of each Loan Party’s obligations under the Security Documents and all Liens granted to the Administration Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral in
accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 9.19; and 
 (iii)    at the time of and
immediately after giving effect to any such release, no Default of Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom 
 (such
date on which all of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above are met, the “Collateral Release Date”). 

For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall have no obligation to (i) cause the Investment Grade Rating Condition to be satisfied nor
(ii) deliver the notice set forth in Section 9.19(b)(ii) upon satisfaction of the Investment Grade Rating Condition (it being understood that the Collateral Release Date shall not be triggered unless and until such notice has been
delivered). 
 (c)    In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 9.19, the
Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver, and agrees promptly upon request to execute and deliver, to the applicable Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents, and take all such actions, in each case that such Loan Party
shall reasonably request to evidence or, as the case may be, effectuate, implement or give further effect to such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents 

  
 189 













 
pursuant to this Section 9.19 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent. Each of the Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option
and in its discretion, to effect the releases set forth in this Section 9.19. The Administrative Agent shall make available to each Lender a copy of the notice delivered pursuant to Section 9.19(b)(ii). 

SECTION 9.20.    No Fiduciary Relationship. Each of Holdings and the Borrower, on behalf of itself and its
subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, Holdings, the Borrower, the Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the
Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuers and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuers or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications. The Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuers and
their respective Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Holdings, the Borrower, the Subsidiaries and their respective
Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuers or any of their respective Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to Holdings, the Borrower, the Subsidiaries or any of their
respective Affiliates. 
 SECTION 9.21.    Non-Public Information.
(a) Each Lender acknowledges that all information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by Holdings, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to or in connection with, or in the course of administering, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document will be syndicate-level information, which may contain MNPI. Each Lender represents to Holdings, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that (i) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of
MNPI and that it will handle MNPI in accordance with such procedures and applicable law, including Federal, State and foreign securities laws, and (ii) it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive
information that may contain MNPI in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, State and foreign securities laws. 

(b)    Each of Holdings, the Borrower and each Lender acknowledges that, if information furnished by Holdings or the
Borrower pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement is being distributed by the Administrative Agent through the Approved Electronic Platform, (i) the Administrative Agent may post any information that Holdings or the Borrower has
indicated as containing MNPI solely on that portion of the Approved Electronic Platform designated for Private Side Lender Representatives and (ii) if Holdings or the Borrower has not indicated whether any information furnished by it pursuant
to or in connection with this Agreement contains MNPI, the Administrative Agent reserves the right to post such information solely on that portion of the Approved Electronic Platform as is designated for Private Side Lender Representatives. Each of
Holdings and the Borrower agrees to clearly designate all information provided to the 

  
 190 













 
Administrative Agent by or on behalf of Holdings or the Borrower that is suitable to be made available to Public Side Lender Representatives, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
rely on any such designation by Holdings and the Borrower without liability or responsibility for the independent verification thereof. 

SECTION 9.22.    [Reserved]. 

SECTION 9.23.    Excluded Swap Obligations. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, no Guarantee by any Subsidiary Loan Party under any Loan Document shall include a Guarantee of any Secured Obligation that, as to such Subsidiary Loan Party, is an Excluded Swap Obligation, and no Collateral provided by any Subsidiary
Loan Party shall secure any Secured Obligation that, as to such Subsidiary Loan Party, is an Excluded Swap Obligation. In the event that any payment is made pursuant to any Guarantee by, or any amount is realized from Collateral of, any Subsidiary
Loan Party as to which any Secured Obligations are Excluded Swap Obligations, such payment or amount shall be applied to pay the Secured Obligations of such Subsidiary Loan Party as otherwise provided herein and in the other Loan Documents without
giving effect to such Excluded Swap Obligations, and each reference in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the ratable application of such amounts as among the Secured Obligations or any specified portion of the Secured Obligations that
would otherwise include such Excluded Swap Obligations shall be deemed to so provide. 
 (b)    Each Qualified ECP
Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party that would not otherwise be a Qualified ECP Guarantor
but for the effectiveness of this Section 9.23, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to enable each such other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of Swap Obligations (subject to the
limitations on its Guarantee under the Collateral Agreement, and provided that only Qualified ECP Guarantors that are US Obligations Loan Parties shall make such undertaking in respect of US Secured Obligations). The obligations of each
Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 9.23 shall remain in full force and effect until its Guarantee under the Collateral Agreement is released. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 9.23 shall constitute a
“keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

 SECTION 9.24.    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the parties hereto, each party hereto
acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be
bound by: 
 (a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such
liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 

(b)    the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if
applicable: 
 (i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; 

(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership
in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to
any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 
 (iii)    the variation of the
terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority. 
 SECTION
9.25.    Dutch CIT Fiscal Unity. If, at any time, a Loan Party resident for tax purposes in the Netherlands or carrying on a business through a permanent establishment or deemed permanent establishment in the Netherlands
is part of a Dutch CIT Fiscal Unity with any of its group entities resident for tax purposes in the Netherlands or carrying on a business through a permanent establishment or deemed permanent establishment in the Netherlands (“Dutch CIT
Fiscal Unity Member”), and such Dutch CIT Fiscal Unity is, in respect of such Dutch CIT Fiscal Unity Member, terminated or disrupted within the meaning of Article 15(10) of the Dutch CITA (or any other provision which facilitates the
termination of a Dutch CIT Fiscal Unity) pursuant to or in connection with the Administrative Agent enforcing its rights under a Loan Document with respect to any Dutch Security Document or the execution of any Dutch Security Document, the relevant
member of such Dutch CIT Fiscal Unity shall, for no consideration, as soon as possible at the request of and together with the Dutch CIT Fiscal Unity Member leaving the Dutch CIT Fiscal Unity, lodge a request with the Dutch tax authorities to
allocate and surrender any tax losses as referred to in Article 20 of the Dutch CITA to the Dutch CIT Fiscal Unity Member leaving the Dutch CIT Fiscal Unity in connection with Article 15af of the Dutch CITA (or any other provision which
facilitates such allocation of tax losses upon termination of the Dutch CIT Fiscal Unity), 

  
 192 













 
to the extent such tax losses are attributable to the Dutch CIT Fiscal Unity Member leaving the Dutch CIT Fiscal Unity. 

SECTION 9.26.    Collateral and Guarantee Principles Relating to US Secured Obligations. Notwithstanding anything
herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, any payments by or setoffs against Excluded US Obligations Payors under the Loan Documents, and any realizations on Non-US Collateral (including amounts
addressed under Section 2.06 (Fees), Section 2.16 (Sharing of Setoffs), Section 2.22 (Letters of Credit), Section 2.23 (Defaulting Lender), Article VII, Section 8.07 (Parallel Debt),
Section 8.10 (Credit Bidding), Section 9.05 (Expenses; Indemnity), Section 9.06 (Right of Setoff)) and Section 9.09 (Interest Rate Limitation), in each case, shall satisfy only Global Secured
Obligations, and shall not be applied to satisfy any US Secured Obligations. 
 SECTION 9.27.    Acknowledgement of
Certain Restrictions. The Secured Parties acknowledge and agree that if any transfer restrictions for the benefit of Alumina Limited or its subsidiaries shall apply to the transfer by Holdings or its subsidiaries of any Equity Interests in any
entities that indirectly own Equity Interests in AWAC Entities, then such transfer restrictions shall likewise apply to the transfers of such Equity Interests by the Secured Parties to a third party.
