 Exhibit 10.1 
 EXECUTION COPY 
 AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AMENDED AND
RESTATED 
 FIVE-YEAR CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 AMENDMENT (this “Amendment”) dated as of April 20, 2009 to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 12, 2006 (as in effect immediately prior to the
effectiveness hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement” and as amended by this Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) among MERCK & CO., INC. (the “Company”), the LENDERS party thereto
(the “Lenders”), and CITICORP USA, INC., as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”). 
 W I T N E S S E T H : 
 The Company has agreed to combine with (the “Merger”)
SCHERING–PLOUGH CORPORATION (to be renamed Merck & Co., Inc. upon consummation of the Merger) (the “Parent”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated
March 8, 2009 (the “Signing Date”). In connection therewith: (a) pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent will merge into the Parent and another wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Parent will merge into the Company so that the Company, as the surviving entity, will be a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent, (ii) each share of common stock of the Parent will be converted into the right to receive cash and new
common stock of the Parent and (iii) each share of common stock of the Company will be converted into one share of common stock of the Parent; (b) the Company will amend the Existing Credit Agreement on the terms set forth in this
Amendment; (c) the Company or the Parent will enter into a new $1,000,000,000 senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Incremental Facility”); (d) the Company or the Parent will obtain $3,000,000,000 in cash
proceeds (before fees and original issue or market discount) from either (i) the issuance of senior unsecured notes (the “Senior Notes”) in a public offering or Rule 144A private placement or (ii) if the Company or the
Parent, as the case may be, is unable to issue the full amount of the Senior Notes on or prior to the date (the “Closing Date”) on which the Merger is consummated, a senior unsecured bridge term loan facility (the “Bridge
Loan Facility”); and (e) the Company or the Parent will enter into a new $3,000,000,000 senior unsecured asset sale bridge revolving credit facility (“Asset Sale Facility”). The Incremental Facility, the Bridge
Loan Facility and the Asset Sale Facility are sometimes herein referred to as the “New Credit Facilities.” The New Credit Facilities together with the Amended Credit Agreement are sometimes herein referred to as the “Credit
Facilities.” For the purpose hereof, “Transactions” means, collectively, (a) the execution, delivery and performance by the Company and Parent of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other
transactions contemplated thereby, (b) the execution, delivery and performance by the Credit Parties of this Amendment and each other Loan Document (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), (c) the issuance of the Senior Notes,

 2 








 
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and dated the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date) of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, Jon Filderman, or such other counsel as shall
be reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arranger, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arranger, covering such matters relating to the Company, the Parent, each other Guarantor (if any), the Loan Documents or the
Transactions as the Lead Arranger shall reasonably request. The Company hereby requests such counsel to deliver such opinion. 
 (c) The Lead Arranger shall have received a certificate of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Parent, the Company and each other Guarantor (if any) attaching copies of its certificate of
incorporation and by-laws, a good standing certificate for it and resolutions of its Board of Directors authorizing execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. 
 (d) The Lead Arranger shall have received an incumbency certificate of an officer of the Parent, the Company and each other
Guarantor (if any) in respect of each of the officers who are authorized to sign this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which each is a party on its behalf and who will, until replaced by another officer or officers duly authorized for that
purpose, act as its representative for the purposes of signing documents and giving notices and other communications in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. 
 (e) There shall not have occurred any Effective Date Material Adverse Change as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date.
“Effective Date Material Adverse Change” means that either (a) since December 31, 2008, there has occurred any event, change, development, effect, condition, circumstance, matter, occurrence or state of facts (each, an
“Event”) or Events that have had or would be reasonably expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, an Effective Date Material Adverse Effect, except that any effect resulting from any matter disclosed in (i) the
Saturn Disclosure Letter (as defined in the Merger Agreement and as in effect on the Signing Date), (ii) the Mercury Disclosure Letter (as defined in the Merger Agreement and as in effect on the Signing Date) or (iii) the annual report on
Form 10-K for the Company or the Parent for the year ended December 31, 2008 (other than disclosures in the “Risk Factors” or “Forward Looking Statements” sections of such reports or any other disclosures in such reports to
the extent they are similarly predictive or forward-looking in nature) shall not be considered when determining whether an Effective Date Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred under this clause (a), or (b) since the Signing Date, there
has occurred any Event or Events that have had or would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, an Effective Date Material Adverse Effect. “Effective Date Material Adverse Effect” means a material
adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Parent and its subsidiaries and the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided that any effect resulting from any of the following Events shall
not be considered when determining whether a Effective Date Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred: (i) any change or development in United States financial, credit or securities markets, general economic or business conditions, or
political or regulatory conditions, (ii) any act of war, armed hostilities or terrorism or any worsening thereof, (iii) any change in law or United States generally accepted accounting principles or the interpretation or enforcement of
either, (iv) any change in the pharmaceutical (including animal health, biotechnology and consumer health) industry, (v) the negotiation, execution, delivery, performance, consummation, potential consummation or public announcement of the
Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including any litigation resulting therefrom or with

  

 3 








 
respect thereto, and any adverse change in customer, distributor, employee, supplier, financing source, licensor, licensee, sub-licensee, shareholder, co-promotion, collaboration or joint venture
partner or similar relationships resulting therefrom or with respect thereto, including as a result of the identity of the parties to the Merger Agreement, (vi) any failure of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or the Parent or any of its
subsidiaries to meet, with respect to any period or periods, any internal or industry analyst projections, forecasts, estimates of earnings or revenues, or business plans (it being agreed that the facts and circumstances giving rise to such failure
that are not otherwise excluded from the definition of Effective Date Material Adverse Effect may be taken into account in determining whether a Effective Date Material Adverse Effect has occurred), (vii) any change, in and of itself, in the
market price or trading volume of the common stock of the Company or the Parent (it being agreed that the facts and circumstances giving rise to such change that are not otherwise excluded from the definition of Effective Date Material Adverse
Effect may be taken into account in determining whether a Effective Date Material Adverse Effect has occurred), (viii) the taking of any action required by the Merger Agreement and (ix) matters relating to Singulair disclosed in the first
bullet-point of clause (b) of Section 9.1 of the Mercury Disclosure Letter (as defined in the Merger Agreement and as delivered to the Lead Arranger on the Signing Date) and matters relating to Remicade disclosed in the first paragraph
under clause (b) of Section 9.1 of the Saturn Disclosure Schedule (as defined in the Merger Agreement and as delivered to the Lead Arranger on the Signing Date); provided that the exception set forth in subclause (v) shall not
apply with respect to matters or Events that render untrue or incorrect any of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.4, 3.9(b), 3.13(h), 4.4, 4.9(b) and 4.13 of the Merger Agreement as in effect on the Signing Date.
Notwithstanding the proviso to the preceding sentence, if an Event described in any of subclauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of such provision has had a disproportionate effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations
of the Parent and its subsidiaries and the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to other participants in the pharmaceutical (including animal health, biotechnology and consumer health) industry, then the incremental impact of
such Event on the Parent and its subsidiaries and the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to other participants in the pharmaceutical (including animal health, biotechnology and consumer health) industry shall be taken into
account for purposes of determining whether an Effective Date Material Adverse Effect has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur. 
 (f) The Merger shall be consummated (i) on or before December 8, 2009 or, subject to the provisions of the Merger Agreement, such later date (not later than March 8, 2010) to which the
“End Date” is extended in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement as in effect on the Signing Date (the “Outside Closing Date”) and (ii) in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement as in effect on
the Signing Date (and no provision or condition thereof shall have been waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified in any respect materially adverse to the Company, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Lead Arranger without the
Majority Lenders’ prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld). 
 (g) The Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger shall have received all fees and invoiced expenses due and payable by the Company on or prior to the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, including, (x) fees payable on or prior to the Amendment
No. 1 Effective Date pursuant to the fee letter dated as of March 8, 2009, among the Lead Arranger, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and the Company (the “Fee Letter”) and (y) reimbursement or payment of all out of pocket
expenses required to be reimbursed or paid by the Company under the Loan Documents and the Fee Letter. 
  

 4 








 (h) The Lead Arranger shall have received a certificate from the chief
financial officer of the Company certifying that the ratio of Total Debt to Capitalization of the Credit Group (giving pro forma effect to the Transactions) as of the last day of the fiscal quarter most recently ended at least 45 days prior to the
Amendment No.1 Effective Date shall not exceed 60% (capitalized terms used in this paragraph (g) having the meanings set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement). 
 (i) The Parent (and any other guarantor of any of the New Credit Facilities or the Senior Notes) shall have executed and
delivered a Guarantee and Joinder Agreement (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). 
 (j) The
representations of the Company set forth in Section 3 shall be true as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date. 
 The
Lead Arranger shall notify the Company and the Lenders of the Amendment No.1 Effective Date, and such notice shall be conclusive and binding. 
 Section 7. Binding Effect. Except as provided in Section 6, this Amendment shall become effective when the Administrative Agent shall have received from each of the Company and the
Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders a counterpart hereof signed by such party or facsimile or other written confirmation (in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) that such party has signed a counterpart hereof, and shall
thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including any Person to whom any Lender party hereto assigns any of its interests, rights and obligations under the Existing
Credit Agreement or the Amended Credit Agreement). 
 Section 8. Consent. The Lenders party hereto hereby
authorize the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower, to modify the Amended Credit Agreement to reflect any change to the Company’s or the Parent’s name occurring on or prior to the Closing Date.

Designated Borrower in U.S. Dollars or an Alternate Currency from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the Commitment Termination Date in an aggregate amount at any one time outstanding as to all Borrowers up

(ii) Each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000

behalf or on behalf of any Designated Borrower) to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof. 
 (ii) Each Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto, specifying therein the requested (A) date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, (B) Type of
Advances comprising such Revolving Credit Borrowing, (C) aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, (D) in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, Currency and initial Interest Period
for each such Eurocurrency Rate Advance, and (E) the name of the Borrower (which shall be the Company or a Designated Borrower). If no election as to the Type of Revolving Credit Borrowing is specified, then the requested Revolving Credit
Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Advance. If no initial Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Rate Advance, then the Company shall be deemed to have selected an initial Interest Period of three month’s duration.

 (iii) Each Lender shall, (x) before 12:00 noon Local Time on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing
if such Revolving Credit Borrowing consists of Eurocurrency Rate Advances and (y) before 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing if such Revolving Credit Borrowing consists of Base Rate Advances, make
available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account for Advances denominated in the relevant Currency, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such
Revolving Credit Borrowing. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Company or such other
Borrower, as the case may be, by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Company or such other Borrower, as applicable, maintained with the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate thereof in New York City (if
such Advance is denominated in U.S. Dollars) or in the Principal Financial Center for any other Currency and designated by the Company in the applicable Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing. 
 (c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Company may not select Eurocurrency Rate Advances for any Revolving Credit

 22 








 (d) Each Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing received by the Administrative Agent shall be

 (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from
a Lender prior to the time of any Revolving Credit Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.01(b) and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the
relevant Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the relevant Borrower severally agree (but without
duplication) to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the relevant Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to
the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate (if such Advance is denominated in U.S. Dollars) or at the overnight London interbank offered rate for the relevant Currency (if such Advance is denominated in an Alternate Currency). If such
Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Advance as part of such Revolving Credit Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If the relevant
Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such prepayment shall not limit any claim the relevant Borrower may have against the Lender that failed to make such amount available, and such Lender shall not be entitled
to compensation in respect of such prepayment for purposes of Section 9.04(b). 
 (f) The failure of any Lender to make the
Revolving Credit Advance to be made by it as part of any Revolving Credit Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Revolving Credit Advance on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, but no Lender
shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Revolving Credit Borrowing. 
 (g) If so requested by any Lender through the Administrative Agent, each Borrower will promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent for such Lender a Revolving Credit Note payable to the order of such Lender. 
 Section 2.02. Letters of Credit.

face amount of not less than $1,000,000, (ii) the sum of the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposures of all Lenders plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Advances (computed as provided in Section 2.01) shall not at any time
exceed the Total Commitments, (iii) the aggregate face amount of all Letters of

  

 23 








 
Credit outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Limit, and (iv) the expiration date of any Letter of Credit may not extend beyond the earlier of the date five Business
Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date and eighteen months following the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The following additional provisions shall apply to Letters of Credit: 
 (a) Notice of Issuance. The Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of any Designated Borrower) shall give the Administrative Agent at
least five Business Days’ irrevocable prior notice (effective upon receipt) of the issuance of each Letter of Credit in substantially the form of Exhibit B-2 (a “Notice of Letter of Credit Issuance”), specifying the Issuing
Lender, the Business Day (which shall be no later than 30 days before the Commitment Termination Date) on which such Letter of Credit is to be issued and the account party or parties therefor and describing in reasonable detail the proposed terms of
such Letter of Credit (including the beneficiary thereof) and the nature of the transactions or obligations proposed to be supported thereby. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the respective Issuing Lender of the
contents thereof, and shall notify each other Lender of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such request. 
 (b)
Participations in Letters of Credit. On each day during the period commencing with the issuance by an Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit and until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or been terminated, the Commitment of each Lender
shall be deemed to be utilized for all purposes of this Agreement in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the then undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit. Each Lender (other than the respective Issuing Lender) agrees
that, upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit hereunder, it shall automatically acquire a participation in the respective Issuing Lender’s liability under such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of
such liability, and each Lender (other than such Issuing Lender) thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to such Issuing Lender to pay and
discharge when due, its Commitment Percentage of such Issuing Lender’s liability under such Letter of Credit. 
 (c)
Notice by Issuing Lenders of Drawings. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any demand for payment under such Letter of Credit, the respective Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Company (through the
Administrative Agent) of the amount to be paid by such Issuing Lender as a result of such demand, provide to the Company copies of documents delivered by the beneficiary with such demand and advise the Company of the date on which payment is to be
made by such Issuing Lender to such beneficiary in respect of such demand. Notwithstanding the identity of the account party of any Letter of Credit, the Company hereby unconditionally agrees to pay and reimburse the Administrative Agent forthwith
for account of such Issuing Lender for the amount of each demand for payment under such Letter of Credit that is in substantial compliance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit at the date on which payment is to be made by such Issuing Lender
to the beneficiary thereunder, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, provided that to the extent the Company shall fail to pay any amount required to be paid pursuant to this paragraph (c) on the due date
therefor, the Company shall pay interest to the Administrative Agent for account of such Issuing Lender on such amount from such due date until the date such payment is made at the rate set forth in Section 2.07(b). 
  

 24 








 (d) Notice by the Company of Borrowing for Reimbursement. Forthwith upon its receipt
of a notice referred to in clause (c) of this Section 2.02, the Company shall advise the Administrative Agent whether or not the Company intends to borrow hereunder to finance its obligation to reimburse the respective Issuing Lender for
the amount of the related demand for payment and, if it does, submit a notice of such borrowing as provided in Section 2.01 hereof. 
 (e) Payments by Lenders to Issuing Lenders. Each Lender (other than the respective Issuing Lender) shall forthwith pay to the Administrative Agent for account of the respective Issuing Lender at
its Domestic Lending Office in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any payment under a Letter of Credit upon notice by such Issuing Lender (through the Administrative Agent) to
such Lender requesting such payment and specifying such amount. Each such Lender’s obligation to make such payment to the Administrative Agent for account of such Issuing Lender under this paragraph (e), and such Issuing Lender’s right to
receive the same, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, the failure of any other Lender to make its payment under this paragraph (e), the financial condition of
any Borrower (or any other account party), the existence of any Default or the termination of the Commitments or any other circumstance whatsoever. Each such payment to an Issuing Lender shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or
reduction whatsoever. If any Lender shall default in its obligation to make any such payment to the Administrative Agent for account of an Issuing Lender, for so long as such default shall continue the Administrative Agent may at the request of such
Issuing Lender withhold from any payments received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement for account of such Lender the amount so in default and, to the extent so withheld, pay the same to such Issuing Lender in satisfaction of such
defaulted obligation. 
 (f) Participations in Reimbursement Obligations. Upon the making of each payment by a Lender to
an Issuing Lender pursuant to clause (e) of this Section 2.02 in respect of any Letter of Credit, such Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender,
acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the Reimbursement Obligation owing to such Issuing Lender by the Company hereunder and under the Letter of Credit Documents relating to such Letter of Credit, and (ii) a
participation in a percentage equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage in any interest or other amounts payable by any Borrower hereunder and under such Letter of Credit Documents in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation (other than the
commissions, charges, costs and expenses payable to such Issuing Lender pursuant to clause (g) of this Section 2.02). Upon receipt by an Issuing Lender from or for account of any Borrower of any payment in respect of any Reimbursement
Obligation or any such interest or other amount (including by way of set-off or application of proceeds of any collateral security) such Issuing Lender shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Lender entitled thereto such
Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such payment, each such payment by such Issuing Lender to be made in the same money and funds in which received by such Issuing

  

 25 








 
Lender. In the event any payment received by an Issuing Lender and so paid to the Lenders hereunder is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by such Issuing Lender, each Lender shall, upon the
request of such Issuing Lender (through the Administrative Agent), repay to such Issuing Lender (through the Administrative Agent) the amount of such payment paid to such Lender, with interest at the rate specified in clause (j) of this
Section 2.02. 
 (g) Letter of Credit Fees. Each Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each
Lender (ratably in accordance with its respective Commitment Percentage) a letter of credit fee in respect of each Letter of Credit at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Rate Advances from time to time in effect on the
daily average undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (i) in the case of a Letter of Credit that expires in accordance with its terms, until such expiration date, and
(ii) in the case of a Letter of Credit that is drawn in full or is otherwise terminated other than on the stated expiration date of such Letter of Credit, until the date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full or is terminated (such fee to be
non-refundable, to be paid in arrears on each Quarterly Date, on the Commitment Termination Date and on the date of such termination or expiration, and to be calculated for any day after giving effect to any payments made under such Letter of Credit
on such day). In addition, the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for account of the respective Issuing Lender an issuance fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender in an amount to be agreed with such Issuing
Lender plus all charges, costs and expenses, in each case, in the amounts customarily charged by such Issuing Lender from time to time in like circumstances with respect to the issuance of each Letter of Credit and drawings and other transactions
relating thereto. 
 (h) Information Provided by Issuing Lenders to Lenders. Promptly following the end of each calendar
month, each Issuing Lender shall deliver (through the Administrative Agent) to each Lender and the Company a notice describing the aggregate amount of all Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding at the end of such month. Upon the request of
any Lender from time to time, each Issuing Lender shall deliver any other information reasonably requested by such Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it then outstanding. 
 (i) Conditions Precedent to Issuance. The issuance by an Issuing Lender of each Letter of Credit shall, in addition to the conditions
precedent set forth in Article 3, be subject to the conditions precedent that (i) such Letter of Credit shall be in such form, contain such terms and support such transactions as shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Lender
consistent with its then current practices and procedures with respect to letters of credit of the same type, and (ii) the Company shall have executed and delivered such applications, agreements and other instruments relating to such Letter of
Credit as such Issuing Lender shall have reasonably requested consistent with its then current practices and procedures with respect to letters of credit of the same type, provided that in the event of any conflict between any such application,
agreement or other instrument and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. Not later than 5:00 pm (New York City time) on the Business Day preceding the date of issuance of any Letter of Credit, the relevant
Issuing

  

 26 








 
Lender shall request confirmation from the Administrative Agent that such issuance would not cause the limitations set forth in paragraph (i) of the first sub-clause of this
Section 2.02 to be exceeded, and such Issuing Lender shall not issue such Letter of Credit if (x) the Administrative Agent advises such Issuing Lender that such limitations would be exceeded or (y) the Administrative Agent notifies
such Issuing Lender that the Administrative Agent has been advised by any other Lender or the Company that a condition precedent under Section 3.02 relating to such issuance has not been satisfied. 
 (j) Interest Payable to Issuing Lenders by Lenders. To the extent that any Lender shall fail to pay any amount required to be paid
pursuant to clause (e) or (f) of this Section 2.02 on the due date therefor, such Lender shall pay interest to the respective Issuing Lender (through the Administrative Agent) on such amount from and including such due date to but
excluding the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate, provided that if such Lender shall fail to make such payment to such Issuing Lender within five Business Days of such due date, then, retroactively
to the due date, such Lender shall be obligated to pay interest on such amount at the Base Rate. 
 (k) Modifications and
Supplements. The issuance by an Issuing Lender of any modification or supplement to any Letter of Credit hereunder shall be subject to the same conditions as are applicable under this Section 2.02 to the issuance of new Letters of Credit,
and no such modification or supplement shall be issued hereunder unless either (i) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such modified or
supplemented form, or (ii) each Lender shall have consented thereto. 
 (l) Indemnity. Each Borrower hereby
indemnifies and holds harmless each Lender and the Administrative Agent from and against any and all claims and damages, losses, liabilities, reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses that such Lender or the Administrative Agent may incur (or that
may be claimed against such Lender or the Administrative Agent by any Person whatsoever) by reason of or in connection with the execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or refusal to pay by an Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued
by it; provided, however, that in no instance shall any Borrower be required to indemnify any Lender or the Administrative Agent for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by
(i) the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of an Issuing Lender in determining whether a request presented under any Letter of Credit issued by it complied with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (ii) in the case of an
Issuing Lender, such Lender’s failure to pay under any Letter of Credit issued by it after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. Nothing in this Section 2.02 is
intended to limit the other obligations of any Borrower, any Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. 
 Section 2.03. Competitive Bid Advances. (a) Each Lender severally agrees that the Company may request Competitive Bid Borrowings under this Section 2.03 from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the
date hereof until the date occurring either: 
  

 27 








 (i) 30 days prior to the Commitment Termination Date in the case of
Competitive Bid Borrowings consisting of Advances bearing interest at a fixed margin above or below the applicable LIBO Rate (“LIBO Rate Advances”); or 
 (ii) seven days prior to the Commitment Termination Date, or, in the case of Competitive Bid Borrowings consisting of
Advances bearing interest at a fixed rate (“Fixed Rate Advances”) and having Interest Periods of seven days or more, such longer period prior to the Commitment Termination Date, 
 in each case, in the manner set forth below. 
 Requests for Competitive Bid Borrowings may be for amounts up to or in excess of the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the respective Lenders then in effect. The following provisions shall apply: 
 (1) The Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of any Designated Borrower) may request a Competitive Bid Borrowing under
this Section 2.03 by delivering to the Administrative Agent, by facsimile transmission or by e-mail, a notice of a Competitive Bid Borrowing (a “Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing”) in substantially the form of Exhibit B-3
hereto, specifying therein (t) the requested date and Currency of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, (u) the requested maximum aggregate amount of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, (v) in the case of a Competitive Bid
Borrowing consisting of LIBO Rate Advances, the Interest Period, or in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting of Fixed Rate Advances, the maturity date for repayment of each Fixed Rate Advance to be made as part of such Competitive Bid
Borrowing (which maturity date may not be later than the Commitment Termination Date), (w) the interest payment date or dates relating thereto (which interest payment dates, if such Competitive Bid Borrowing has a maturity date that is greater
than three months after the date of such Borrowing, shall occur no less frequently than every three months), (x) the interest rate basis (LIBO Rate or Fixed Rate) to be offered by the Lenders, (y) the name of the Borrower (which shall be
the Company or a Designated Borrower) and (z) other terms (if any) to be applicable to such Competitive Bid Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the relevant date specified in the definition of “Interest
Period”. Each Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Company and the relevant Borrower; provided that the Company shall have no obligation to accept any offers to make Competitive Bid Advances.
The Administrative Agent shall in turn promptly notify each Lender of each request for a Competitive Bid Borrowing received by it from the Company by sending such Lender a copy of the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing. If no election as to
the Currency of Borrowing is specified in any Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing in U.S. Dollars. 
 (2) Each Lender may, if in its sole discretion it elects to do so, irrevocably offer to make one or more Competitive Bid
Advances to a Borrower as part of such

  

 28 








 
proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing at a rate or rates of interest specified by such Lender in its sole discretion, which rate or rates of interest, in the case of LIBO Rate Advances requested by
the Company (on its own behalf and on behalf an on behalf of any Designated Borrower), shall be at a margin above or below the LIBO Rate for such Advances for the relevant Interest Period, by notifying the Administrative Agent (which shall give
notice thereof to the Company as promptly as practicable but in no event later than 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the date such offer is submitted to the Administrative Agent), 
 (A) before 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, in the case of a
Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting of Fixed Rate Advances denominated in U.S. Dollars, 
 (B) before 10:00 a.m.
(New York City time) three Business Days before the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting of LIBO Rate Advances denominated in any Currency, or 
 (C) before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) two Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period in respect of
such Fixed Rate Advances denominated in any Alternate Currency, 
 in each case, of the maximum amount of each Competitive Bid
Advance which such Lender would be willing to make as part of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing (which amounts may exceed such Lender’s Commitment), the rate or rates of interest therefor and such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office
with respect to such Competitive Bid Advance; provided that if the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender shall, in its sole discretion, elect to make any such offer, it shall notify the Company of such offer at least 30 minutes
before the time and on the date on which notice is required to be given to the Administrative Agent by each other Lender that elects to offer to make a Competitive Bid Advance. No offer to make a Competitive Bid Advance shall contain qualifying,
conditional or similar language or propose terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing. If any Lender shall elect not to make such an offer, such Lender shall so notify the Administrative
Agent, before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date on which notice of such election is to be given to the Administrative Agent by the other Lenders, and such Lender shall not be obligated to, and shall not, make any Competitive Bid Advance as
part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing; provided that the failure by any Lender to give such notice shall not cause such Lender to be obligated to make any Competitive Bid Advance as part of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing.

 (3) The Company shall, in turn, before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of such proposed
Competitive Bid Borrowing in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting of Fixed Rate Advances denominated in U.S. Dollars, on the

  

 29 








 
date three Business Days before the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting of LIBO Rate Advances denominated in any Currency, or on
the date two Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period in the case of Fixed Rate Advances denominated in any Alternate Currency, either: 
 (x) cancel such Competitive Bid Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent notice to that effect, or 
 (y) accept one or more of the offers made by any Lender or Lenders pursuant to clause (2) above, in its sole discretion, by giving notice to the Administrative Agent of the amount of each Competitive
Bid Advance (which amount shall be equal to or less than the maximum amount, notified to the Company by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender for such Competitive Bid Advance pursuant to clause (2) above) to be made by each Lender
as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, and reject any remaining offers made by Lenders pursuant to clause (2) above by giving the Administrative Agent notice to that effect; provided that the Company shall not accept any offer in
excess of the requested bid amount for any maturity. Any acceptance of offers made by any Lender or Lenders to make Competitive Bid Advances shall be made by the Company in order of the lowest to the highest rates of interest offered by such
Lenders. If two or more Lenders have offered the same interest rate, the amount to be borrowed at such interest rate, if any, will be allocated among such Lenders in proportion to the amount that each such Lender offered at such interest rate.

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the delivery of a Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing to the Administrative Agent,
the Company shall be obligated to notify the Administrative Agent as to whether it shall cancel such Competitive Bid Borrowing or accept offers made by Lenders as set forth in this clause (3); provided that no Competitive Bid Borrowing shall
be made unless the Company shall have accepted offers in accordance with clause (y) above. 
 (4) If the
Company notifies the Administrative Agent that such Competitive Bid Borrowing is cancelled pursuant to clause (3)(x) above, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders and such Competitive Bid Borrowing shall not be
made. 
 (5) If the Company accepts one or more of the offers made by any Lender or Lenders pursuant to clause
(3)(y) above, the Administrative Agent shall in turn promptly notify (A) each Lender that has made an offer as described in clause (2) above, of the date and aggregate amount of such Competitive Bid Borrowing and whether or not any
offer or offers made by such Lender pursuant to clause (2) above have been accepted by the Company, (B) each Lender that is to make a Competitive Bid Advance as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, of the amount of each

  

 30 








 
Competitive Bid Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, and (C) each Lender that is to make a Competitive Bid Advance as part of such Competitive Bid
Borrowing, upon receipt, that the Administrative Agent has received forms of documents appearing to fulfill the conditions set forth in Section 3.03. Each Lender that is to make a Competitive Bid Advance as part of such Competitive Bid
Borrowing shall, before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date of such Competitive Bid Borrowing specified in the notice received from the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (A) of the preceding sentence or any later time when such
Lender shall have received notice from the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (C) of the preceding sentence, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s
Account for Advances denominated in the relevant Currency, in same day funds, such Lender’s portion of such Competitive Bid Borrowing. Upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 3.03 and after receipt by the Administrative
Agent of such funds, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the relevant Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Company maintained with the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate
thereof in New York City (if such Advance is denominated in U.S. Dollars) and in the principal financial center for any other Currency and designated by the Company in the applicable Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing. Promptly after each
Competitive Bid Borrowing the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the amount of the Competitive Bid Borrowing, the consequent Competitive Bid Reduction and the dates upon which such Competitive Bid Reduction commenced and will terminate.

 (6) If the Company notifies the Administrative Agent that it accepts one or more of the offers made by any
Lender or Lenders pursuant to clause (3)(y) above, such notice of acceptance shall be irrevocable and binding on the Company and the relevant Borrower. The Company shall pay each Lender amounts calculated in accordance with Section 9.04(b)
to compensate such Lender for any loss, reasonable out-of-pocket cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing for such Competitive
Bid Borrowing the conditions set forth in Section 3.03. 
 (b) Each Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be in an aggregate
amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing denominated in an Alternate Currency, the Foreign Currency Equivalent thereof in such Alternate Currency). 
 (c) Within the limits and on the conditions set forth in this Section 2.03, each Borrower may from time to time borrow under this
Section 2.03, prepay or repay the amounts borrowed, in whole or in part, pursuant to clause (d) below, and reborrow under this Section 2.03, provided that a Competitive Bid Borrowing shall not be made within three Business Days
of the date of the making of any other Competitive Bid Borrowing. 
  

 31 








 (d) Each Borrower agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender
that has made a Competitive Bid Advance to such Borrower, on the maturity date of such Competitive Bid Advance (such maturity date being that specified by the Company for repayment of such Competitive Bid Advance in the related Notice of Competitive
Bid Borrowing delivered pursuant to clause Section 2.03(1) above and provided in the Competitive Bid Note evidencing such Competitive Bid Advance), the then unpaid principal amount of such Competitive Bid Advance. The Borrowers shall have
(a) no right to prepay any Competitive Bid Advance that is a Fixed Rate Advance without the prior consent of the each Lender that has made such Fixed Rate Advance, and (b) shall have the right to prepay any Competitive Bid Advance that is
a LIBO Rate Advance subject to the payment to each Lender of the amount calculated in accordance with Section 9.04(b) to compensate such Lender for any loss, reasonable out-of-pocket cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of the
prepayment of such LIBO Rate Advance prior to the maturity date thereof. 
 (e) Each Borrower agrees to pay interest on the
unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Bid Advance made to such Borrower from the date of such Competitive Bid Advance until the date the principal amount of such Competitive Bid Advance is repaid in full, at the rate of interest for such
Competitive Bid Advance specified by the Lender making such Competitive Bid Advance in its Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing with respect thereto delivered pursuant to clause Section 2.03(1) above, payable on the interest payment date or
dates specified by the Company for such Competitive Bid Advance in the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing delivered pursuant to clause Section 2.03(1) above, as provided in the Competitive Bid Note evidencing such Competitive Bid
Advance; provided that if any Borrower shall fail to pay when due (whether at stated maturity, by mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) any principal of or interest on any Competitive Bid Advance, such Borrower shall pay
interest on the defaulted amount at the rate provided for in Section 2.07(b), payable from time to time on demand. 
 (f)
The indebtedness of each Borrower resulting from each Competitive Bid Advance made by a Lender to such Borrower as part of a Competitive Bid Borrowing shall, if so requested by such Lender, be evidenced by a separate Competitive Bid Note of such
Borrower payable to the order of such Lender. 
 Section 2.04. Changes of Commitments.  
 (a) Termination on Commitment Termination Date. The Commitments shall automatically be reduced to zero on the Commitment Termination
Date. 
 (b) Ratable Termination or Reduction. The Company shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, upon
at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the respective Commitments, provided that (i) each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate
amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (ii) the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders as to all Borrowers shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of all Advances and the aggregate

  

 32 








 
Letter of Credit Exposures of the Lenders, then outstanding as to all Borrowers, and (iii) any such reduction shall be without prejudice to the terms of Sections 2.02(b) and (e). The
aggregate amount of the Commitments, once reduced as provided in this Section 2.04(b), may not be reinstated. 
 (c)
Increase. (i) The Company (on its own behalf and on behalf of any Designated Borrower) may, at any time but in any event not more than once during any calendar year, make a written request (an “Increase Request”) to the
Administrative Agent (who shall promptly forward a copy to each Lender) that the Total Commitments be increased (each such proposed increase being a “Proposed Commitment Increase”), through an increase of the Commitment or
Commitments of one or more existing Lenders and/or the addition of one or more other financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (each a “New Lender”), as the Company may determine, all effective as of a
date (the “Commitment Increase Date”) that shall be specified in such notice and that shall be prior to the Commitment Termination Date, provided that each Proposed Commitment Increase, and any increase in the Commitments
effected pursuant thereto, shall be in an aggregate amount equal to $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and provided, further, that after giving effect to any such Proposed Commitment Increase, the
Total Commitments shall not exceed $2,000,000,000. 
 (ii) The Company may offer the opportunity to participate
in a Proposed Commitment Increase to all of the then existing Lenders and/or to one or more New Lenders, and will notify the Administrative Agent as part of the Increase Request to whom it wishes to offer the same; provided that the
Commitment of each New Lender shall be at least $10,000,000; and provided further that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to commit to all or any portion of the Proposed Commitment Increase. 
 (iii) Each Increase Request shall include a certification by a duly authorized officer of the Company that no Default has
occurred and is continuing on and as of the date of such Increase Request and shall specify the proposed effective date of such increase (an “Increase Date”), which shall be at least ten Business Days after the date of the Increase
Request. 
 (iv) If the Company is offering participation to the then existing Lenders, each Lender that is
willing to increase its Commitment (each an “Increasing Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date five Business Days after the date of the Increase Request of the amount, if any, by which it is willing
to increase its Commitment, which amount shall not exceed the amount specified in the Increase Request. 
 (v) On
the effective date of an increase in the Commitments pursuant hereto, (i) the Commitment of each Increasing Lender shall be increased to the extent hereinafter provided and each New Lender shall become a party hereto by executing and
delivering, effective on said date, an accession agreement (each an “Accession

  

 33 








 
Agreement”) in substantially the form of Exhibit C-2, whereupon such New Lender shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder, and (ii) if on such date there are
Revolving Credit Advances outstanding, appropriate adjustments shall be made (by the making of Revolving Credit Advances by the New Lenders and/or the prepayment of outstanding Revolving Credit Advances) as necessary to cause the outstanding
Revolving Credit Advances to be held ratably by all Lenders; and Schedule 2.01 shall be appropriately revised, and Revolving Credit Notes (to the extent requested by Increasing Lenders and New Lenders) shall be issued, to reflect the foregoing.

 (vi) If the sum of the aggregate amount by which the Commitments of the Increasing Lenders are increasing
exceeds the amount required in light of the Commitments of the New Lenders, the increase shall be allocated ratably among the New Lenders. 
 Section 2.05. Fees.  
 (a) Facility Fee. The Company agrees to
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee on the daily average amount of such Lender’s Commitment, whether or not utilized, for each day during the period from the date hereof until the Commitment Termination
Date at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Facility Fee Rate in effect from time to time, provided that if and to the extent any Advances continue to be outstanding and held by such Lender and/or such Lender continues to have any Letter
of Credit Exposure after the Commitment Termination Date, such facility fee will continue to accrue on the daily outstanding amount of such Advances and Letter of Credit Exposure until they are reduced to zero. The accrued facility fee shall be
payable in U.S. Dollars in arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the Commitment Termination Date; provided that any facility fee accruing after the Commitment Termination Date shall be payable from time to time on demand. 
 (b) Administrative Agent’s Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account such fees as have been
agreed in writing by and between the Company and the Administrative Agent. 
 (c) Utilization Charges. The Company agrees
to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a utilization charge on the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances and Letter of Credit Exposure of such Lender, for each day
that there is any Advance or Letter of Credit Exposure outstanding, at a rate equal to 0.050% per annum, payable in U.S. Dollars on each day on which interest is payable hereunder, and computed on the same basis as interest on Revolving Credit
Advances. 
 Section 2.06. Repayment of Revolving Credit Advances and Alternate Currency Revaluation.  

 

 34 








 (a) Repayment of Revolving Credit Advances. Each Borrower agrees to repay to the
Administrative Agent for account of each Lender the full principal amount of all Revolving Credit Advances of such Lender to such Borrower, and each such Revolving Credit Advance shall mature, on the Commitment Termination Date. 
 (b) Alternate Currency Revaluation. If at any time by reason of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates (i) the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of all Advances (for which purpose the amount of any Advance that is denominated in an Alternate Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent thereof as of the date of determination) plus the aggregate
Letter of Credit Exposure exceeds (ii) an amount equal to 105% of the then aggregate amount of the Commitments, the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to give prompt written notice thereof to the Company, and the Company shall
promptly, or on the last day of the then current Interest Period in respect of the Eurocurrency Advances, prepay the Advances, or cause the Advances to be prepaid, in an aggregate amount equal to such excess as determined by the Administrative Agent
and specified in such notice. The good faith determinations of the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and the other Borrowers in the absence of manifest error. 
 Section 2.07. Interest.  
 (a) Scheduled Interest. Each Borrower agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Advance of each Lender to such Borrower from the date of such Revolving Credit
Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum: 
 (i) Base Rate
Advances. While such Revolving Credit Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal to the sum of (x) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (y) the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Advances, payable in arrears
on each Quarterly Date and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full. 
 (ii)
Eurocurrency Rate Advances. While such Revolving Credit Advance is a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, a rate per annum, for each Interest Period for such Revolving Credit Advance, equal to the sum of (x) the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest
Period for such Revolving Credit Advance plus (y) the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Advances, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on the
last day of each consecutive three-month interval commencing on the first day of such Interest Period and on the date such Eurocurrency Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full. 
 (b) Default Interest. In addition to interest payable under clause (a) above, if any Borrower shall fail to pay when due
(whether at scheduled maturity, by mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) any principal of or interest on any Advance or Reimbursement Obligation or any other amount whatsoever payable by it under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, such Borrower agrees to pay interest on the

  

 35 








 
defaulted amount, from time to time on demand, from the due date thereof until such amount is paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of any such principal, the rate
otherwise applicable thereto plus 2% per annum, and (ii) in the case of any other such amount, a rate equal to the rate per annum required to be paid on Base Rate Advances pursuant to clause (a)(i) above plus 2% per annum;
provided, however, that in the case of a delay in the payment when due of interest or fees due solely to a delay, beyond the control of the Borrower making such payment, in the completion of a payment by wire transfer or similar
circumstances, the increased rate provided for in this clause (b) shall take effect, if such interest or fees are then unpaid and outstanding, on the first Business Day after the due date of such interest or fees. 
 Section 2.08. Interest Rate Determination. (a) Each Reference Bank agrees to furnish to the Administrative Agent, upon its
request, timely information to the extent necessary for the purpose of determining each Eurocurrency Rate and each LIBO Rate. If any one or more of the Reference Banks shall not furnish such timely information to the Administrative Agent for the
purpose of determining any such interest rate, the Administrative Agent shall determine such interest rate on the basis of timely information furnished by the other Reference Banks or Bank. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the
Company and the Lenders of each interest rate so determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of Section 2.07(a)(ii). Each good faith determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding
for all purposes, absent manifest error. Advances denominated in different Currencies shall be deemed to have separate Interest Periods. 
 (b) If, with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the Majority Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately
reflect the cost to such Majority Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurocurrency Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Company and the Lenders, whereupon (i) each
such Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance, and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Revolving Credit Advances into, Eurocurrency
Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. 
 (c) If the Company shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period”
in Section 1.01, such Interest Period shall have a duration of three months. 
 (d) Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or
to Convert Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until such Event of Default ceases to exist. 
  

 36 








 (e) If, after request by the Administrative Agent, no Reference Bank furnishes timely
information to the Administrative Agent for determining the Eurocurrency Rate or the LIBO Rate for any Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify the Company and the Lenders
that the interest rate cannot be determined for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances, as the case may be, with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Advances, each such Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing
Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance (or, if such Advance is then a Base Rate Advance, will not be eligible for Conversion into a Eurocurrency Rate Advance), and the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances
or LIBO Rate Advances or to Convert Revolving Credit Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist,
which notice shall be given promptly after such circumstances cease to exist. 
 (f) If any Reference Bank’s Commitment
shall terminate or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned for any reason whatsoever, such Reference Bank shall cease to be a Reference Bank and shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this
Agreement, and if, as a result of the foregoing, there shall only be one Reference Bank remaining, the Administrative Agent (after approval by the Company, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall, by notice to the Company and
the Lenders, designate another Lender as a Reference Bank, which Lender shall become a Reference Bank upon the execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Company of an undertaking pursuant to which such Lender shall agree to be bound
by and to perform all obligations of a Reference Bank as set forth in this Agreement. 
 (g) If this Agreement shall require
that any Eurocurrency Rate Advance be Converted to a Base Rate Advance (including as provided in Sections 2.08, 2.09 and 2.14) and such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in an Alternate Currency, the relevant Borrower shall on the date of the
required Conversion pay or prepay the full amount of such Eurocurrency Rate Advance (provided that the foregoing shall not prevent any Borrower from borrowing additional Advances to the extent otherwise permitted hereunder). 
 Section 2.09. Optional Conversion of Revolving Credit Advances. Each Borrower may on any Business Day, elect to Convert any
Revolving Credit Advance which is a Eurocurrency Advance comprising the same Borrowing into a Base Rate Advance upon at least one Business Days’ prior written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York City
time) or elect to Convert any Revolving Credit Advance which is a Base Rate Advance comprising the same Borrowing into a Eurocurrency Advance upon at least three Business Days’ prior written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later
than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), subject to the provisions of Sections 2.08 and 2.14; provided that (i) any Conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period
for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances, (ii) any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum borrowing amount specified in Section 2.01(a)(ii), and (iii) no Conversion
of any Revolving Credit Advances shall result in more than three separate

  

 37 








 
Revolving Credit Borrowings. Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify the date of such Conversion, the Revolving Credit Advances to be Converted,
and if such Conversion is from Base Rate Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Company and the relevant
Borrower. 
 Section 2.10. Optional Prepayments of Revolving Credit Advances.  
 (a) Each Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment,
given not later than 11:30 a.m. (New York City time) (i) three Business Days before such proposed prepayment in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, (ii) on the day of such proposed prepayment in the case of Base Rate Advances, and, if
such notice is given, such Borrower shall, prepay without penalty or premium (but subject to Section 9.04(b)) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances comprising part of the same Revolving Credit Borrowing made to such
Borrower in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid. Each prepayment under this Section 2.10 shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, in the case of Advances in an Alternate Currency, the Foreign Currency Equivalent thereof). 
 (b) If the obligations of the Company under Article 10 with respect to any outstanding Guaranteed Obligations owing by any Designated Borrower shall for any reason (i) be terminated, (ii) cease to be in full force and effect, or
(iii) not be the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, then such Borrower shall, no later than the 15th day after the date of such notice, prepay without penalty or
premium (but subject to Section 9.04(b)) the full principal of and interest on the Advances owing by, and the Notes payable by, such Borrower and all other amounts whatsoever payable hereunder by such Borrower. 
 Section 2.11. Payments and Computations. (a) Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein: 
 (i) each Revolving Credit Borrowing from the Lenders, each payment of the facility fee under Section 2.05(a) to the
Lenders, each payment of the utilization fee under Section 2.05(c) to the Lenders and each termination or reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitment
Percentages; 
 (ii) Eurocurrency Advances having the same Interest Period shall be allocated among the Lenders
on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages; 
 (iii) each payment or
prepayment of Revolving Credit Advances, and each payment of interest on the Revolving Credit Advances, shall be made for the account of the Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective aggregate amount of the Revolving
Credit Advances held by them; and 
  

 38 








 (iv) each payment in respect of participations in Reimbursement Obligations
acquired by the Lenders under Section 2.02(f) shall be made to them on a pro rata basis in accordance with amounts paid by them under Section 2.02(e). 
 (b) All payments of principal and interest on an Advance that is denominated in a particular Currency shall be made in such Currency, and all other amounts payable under this Agreement shall be
denominated in U.S. Dollars. 
 (c) Each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes to the Administrative
Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account in the Principal Financial Center for the relevant Currency and in same day funds, without set-off or counterclaim (except to the extent required pursuant to Section 2.15), not later than 12:00
noon Local Time on the due date of such payment (each such payment made after such time on such date to be deemed to have been made on the next Business Day). The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like Currency
and funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or the facility or other fees ratably (subject to Sections 2.02, 2.03, 2.04(c), 2.13, 2.15 and 9.04(b)) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices to be
applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Assumption and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.06, from and after the effective date specified
in such Assignment and Assumption, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the assignee thereunder, and the Lender and assignee under such Assignment and
Assumption (which shall not include any Borrower) shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves; and upon any New Lender becoming a Lender hereunder as a result of a
Commitment Increase pursuant to Section 2.04(c), and upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Lender’s Accession Agreement pursuant to Section 2.04(c), from and after the effective date of such Commitment Increase, the
Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assumed thereby to such New Lender. 
 (d) All computations of (i) interest based on the base rate of Citibank shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and (ii) interest
based on the Eurocurrency Rate or the LIBO Rate or the Federal Funds Rate or any fixed rate applicable to a Fixed Rate Advance, and of the facility fee and letter of credit fees, shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of
360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed. 
 (e)
Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the
computation of payment of interest, facility fee or letter of credit fee, as the case may be. 
  

 39 








 (f) Each Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any
Note, specify to the Administrative Agent the Advances or other amounts payable by such Borrower to which such payment is to be applied; provided that if such Borrower fails to so specify, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing at the time of such payment, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to distribute such payment to the Lenders in such manner as it may deem appropriate (without prejudice, however, to the provisions of Section 2.11). 

(g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon
such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent a Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall
repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the
Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate (if such payment is denominated in U.S. Dollars) or at the overnight London interbank offered rate for the relevant Currency (if such payment is denominated in an Alternate Currency). 
 Section 2.12. Sharing of Set-off, Etc. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and
each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other
obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against any of and all the obligations of such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under any Loan Document held by such Lender,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 2.12(a) are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of set-off) which such Lender may have. 
 (b) If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether
voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Revolving Credit Advances owing to it (other than pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.13, 2.15 or 9.04(b)) in excess of its ratable share of
payments on account of the Revolving Credit Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Revolving Credit Advances owing to such other Lenders, and make such other
adjustments, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such
purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of
(i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the

  

 40 








 
total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Each Borrower agrees
that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12(b) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 (c)
Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation any
Borrower. 
 Section 2.13. Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law
or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made after the date of this Agreement:

 (i) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements against assets
held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans or other credit extended by, or the Commitment of, any office of any Lender which are not otherwise covered by clause (b) below, or 
 (ii) imposes on such Lender any other condition affecting this Agreement or its Notes or its Commitment, 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining Eurocurrency Advances or LIBO Rate Advances or to
reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender hereunder in connection therewith then, in any such case, the Company shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such
additional cost or reduced amount which such Lender reasonably deems to be material (provided that this Section 2.13 shall not be deemed to apply with respect to Taxes addressed in Section 2.15). A certificate of a Lender in
reasonable detail as to any amounts payable under this Section 2.13, delivered to the Company through the Administrative Agent, shall be conclusive and binding on the Company in the absence of manifest error. Each Lender agrees to use
reasonable efforts to minimize any amount that may otherwise be payable pursuant to this Section 2.13 if it can do so without incurring additional cost or expense, or legal or regulatory disadvantage, deemed by such Lender to be material.

 (b) In addition to (but without duplication of) any amounts payable from time to time under Section 2.13 above, the
Company agrees to pay to each Lender which requests compensation under this paragraph (b) by notice to the Company, on the last day of each Interest Period with respect to any Advance made by such Lender, so long as such Lender shall be
required to maintain reserves against “Eurocurrency liabilities” under Regulation D (or so long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves against any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which
the interest rate on Eurocurrency

  

 41 








 
Advances is determined as provided herein, or against any category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender which includes such Advances), an additional amount (as determined by
such Lender and notified to the Company) equal to the actual costs, if any, incurred by such Lender during such Interest Period as a result of the applicability of such reserves to such Advances, being the product of the following for each day
during such Interest Period: 
 (i) the outstanding principal amount of each such Advance to which such Interest
Period relates, and 
 (ii) the difference between (x) a fraction (expressed as a decimal) the numerator of
which is the Eurocurrency Rate (expressed as a decimal) applicable to such Eurocurrency Advance and the denominator of which is one minus the Reserve Requirement minus (y) said numerator, and 
 (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is 1 and the denominator of which is 360. 
 (c) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law after the date of this Agreement
regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or direction regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from
any central bank or other Governmental Authority made after the date of this Agreement has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or the
Advances or the Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into account such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to
capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, the Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amount as shall be certified by such Lender as being required to compensate it for such reduction. 
 (d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to pay to any Lender amounts owing under this
Section 2.13 for any period that is more than 180 days prior to the date on which the request for payment therefor is delivered to the Company; provided that if the event or occurrence giving rise to such obligation is retroactive, then
the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 (e)
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, a Lender shall not be entitled to compensation pursuant to this Section in respect of any Competitive Bid Advance if the change in any Requirement of Law that would otherwise entitle it to
such compensation shall have been publicly announced prior to submission of the Competitive Bid Advance pursuant to which such Loan was made. 
  

 42 








 (f) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary, this Section 2.13 shall not apply to
any Taxes addressed in Section 2.15. 
 Section 2.14. Illegality. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any relevant Governmental Authority to any Lender shall make it unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Eurocurrency
Advances or LIBO Rate Advances as contemplated by this Agreement or to obtain in the relevant interbank market the funding for such Advances, (a) such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Company thereof, (b) the
obligation of such Lender hereunder to make Eurocurrency Advances or LIBO Rate Advances to continue Eurocurrency Advances shall forthwith terminate, and (c) such Lender’s Eurocurrency Advances then outstanding shall be Converted on the
last day of the then current Interest Period for such Advances (or on such earlier date as may be required by law) to Base Rate Advances. The Company agrees to pay promptly to such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to
compensate such Lender for the costs reasonably incurred by such Lender as a result of such repayment in accordance with Section 9.04(b). Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize any amounts that may otherwise be payable
pursuant to this Section 2.14 if it can do so without incurring additional cost or expense, or legal or regulatory disadvantage, deemed by such Lender to be material. 
 Section 2.15. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of each Borrower hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes unless deduction of such Taxes is required by law (or by the interpretation or administration thereof); provided that if any Borrower shall be required by
law (or by the interpretation or administration thereof) to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions of such
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including deductions of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) the Administrative Agent or any Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal
to the sum it would have received had no such deductions of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) In addition, each Borrower
shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) Each Borrower shall
indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 30 days after written demand therefor, which written demand shall be made within 60 days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender received written demand for payment of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from the relevant Governmental Authority, for the full amount of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes properly imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable
under this Section 2.15(c)) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any

  

 43 








 
penalties, interest and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto. A certificate setting forth the amount of such payment or liability and, in reasonable detail,
the manner in which such amount shall have been determined, delivered to such Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be presumptive evidence of such payment or liability absent manifest
error. 
 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower to any Governmental
Authority, such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such
payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Company, each
Designated Borrower that is a United States Person and the Administrative Agent on or before the date such Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement and on or before the date, if any, such Foreign Lender changes its Applicable Lending Office
(i) two duly executed and properly completed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI or W-8BEN (with respect to the benefit of an income tax treaty), or successor forms, certifying to such Foreign Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption
from United States withholding tax with respect to all payments to be made to it under the Loan Documents, or (ii) if such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, either (x) the
forms referred to in clause (e) above certifying to such Foreign Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to all payments to be made to it under the Loan Documents, or (y) two duly
executed and properly completed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN (or successor forms) and a duly executed certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H (any such certificate, a “Section 2.15(e) Certificate”);
provided, however, that in the event that a Foreign Lender is not classified as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes, such Foreign Lender shall take any actions necessary and shall deliver to the Company, each
such Designated Borrower and the Administrative Agent all additional (or alternative) Internal Revenue Service forms and Section 2.15(e) Certificates necessary to fully establish such Foreign Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption
from United States withholding tax on all payments to be made to it under the Loan Documents (including causing its partners, members, beneficiaries or owners, or their beneficial owners, to take any actions and deliver any Internal Revenue Service
forms and Section 2.15(e) Certificates necessary to establish such exemption). In addition, each Foreign Lender shall deliver such Internal Revenue Service forms and the Section 2.15(e) Certificate (as applicable) to the Company, each such
Designated Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly upon the obsolescence, inaccuracy or invalidity of any such Internal Revenue Service forms or Section 2.15(e) Certificate previously delivered by such Foreign Lender pursuant to this
Section 2.15(e) unless such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver such Internal Revenue Service forms or Section 2.15(e) Certificate. 
 (f) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction in the rate of the imposition, deduction or withholding of any Indemnified Tax or Other Tax under the laws of
the jurisdiction in which a Designated Borrower that is not a

  

 44 








 
United States Person is organized or engaged in business, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the
Administrative Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) shall deliver to such Designated Borrower or the relevant Governmental Authority, in the manner and at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or as reasonably requested by such
Designated Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Designated Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without the imposition, deduction or withholding of such
Indemnified Tax or Other Tax or at a reduced rate, provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in its reasonable judgment such completion, execution or
submission would not materially prejudice its commercial or legal position or require disclosure of information it considers confidential or proprietary. 
 (g) Each Lender agrees that, before making a demand under this Section 2.15, it shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different
Applicable Lending Office or assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates if the making of such a designation or assignment will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any additional amounts
that would otherwise thereafter accrue and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, require such Lender to incur a cost or expense, or legal or regulatory disadvantage, determined by such Lender to be material. Upon any such change in
any Applicable Lending Office or assignment, such Lender shall provide or cause to be provided to the Administrative Agent and the Company (and if applicable, the relevant Designated Borrower) the appropriate form specified in Section 2.15(e)
or Section 2.15(f). 
 (h) If any Borrower pays any additional amount or indemnity payment pursuant to this
Section 2.15 with respect to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to obtain a refund of tax or credit against its tax liabilities on account of such payment;
provided, however, that the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have no obligation to use such reasonable efforts if either (i) it is in an excess foreign tax credit position or (ii) it believes in good faith, in its sole
discretion, that claiming a refund or credit would cause adverse tax consequences to it. In the event that the Administrative Agent or such Lender receives such a refund or credit, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall promptly pay to such
Borrower an amount that the Administrative Agent or such Lender reasonably determines is equal to the net tax benefit obtained by the Administrative Agent or such Lender as a result of such payment by such Borrower. Nothing contained in this
Section 2.15(h) shall require the Administrative Agent or such Lender to disclose or detail the basis of its calculation of the amount of any net tax benefit or its determination referred to in the proviso to the first sentence of this
Section 2.15(h) to such Borrower or any other party. 
 (i) Should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure
to deliver a form required hereunder, the Company (and if applicable, the relevant Designated Borrower) shall take such steps as the Lender shall reasonably request to assist the Lender to recover such Taxes; provided that, in the reasonable
judgment of the Company (or such relevant Designated

  

 45 








 
Borrower), such steps shall not subject the Company (or such relevant Designated Borrower) to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to the Company (or such
relevant Designated Borrower) in any material respect. 
 Section 2.16. Borrowings by Designated Borrowers.
(a) The Company may, at any time or from time to time upon not less than 10 Business Days’ notice, designate the Parent and/or one or more Wholly Owned Subsidiaries of the Parent (other than the Company) as Borrowers hereunder by
furnishing to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a letter (a “Designation Letter”) in duplicate, in substantially the form of Exhibit G-1 (modified as appropriate to reflect whether the Designated Borrower is the Parent or a Wholly
Owned Subsidiary of the Parent), duly completed and executed by the Company and the Parent or such Subsidiary, as applicable, and attaching documents for the Parent or such Subsidiary, as applicable, comparable to the documents referred to in
clauses (b), (c), (e), (g) and (h) of Section 3.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement, each of which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Upon delivery of such items as aforesaid, the
Parent or such Subsidiary, as applicable, shall be a Designated Borrower and a Borrower entitled to borrow Revolving Advances and Competitive Bid Advances on and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Following the giving of any
notice pursuant to this Section 2.16, if the designation of such Designated Borrower obligates the Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with “know your customer” or similar identification procedures in circumstances where the
necessary information is not already available to it, the Company shall, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, supply such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender in order for the Administrative Agent or such Lender to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with the results of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations. 

(b) So long as all principal of and interest on all Advances made to any Designated Borrower and all other amounts payable by such
Designated Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been paid in full, the Company may terminate the status of such Borrower as a Borrower hereunder by furnishing to the Administrative Agent a letter (a “Termination
Letter”) in substantially the form of Exhibit G-2, duly completed and executed by the Company. Any Termination Letter furnished hereunder shall be effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify the Lenders,
whereupon the Lenders shall promptly deliver to the Company (through the Administrative Agent) the Notes, if any, of such former Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of a Termination Letter with respect to any Designated Borrower
shall not terminate (i) any obligation of such Borrower that remains unpaid at the time of such delivery (including without limitation any obligation arising thereafter in respect of such Borrower under Section 2.13 or Section 2.15)
or (ii) the obligations of the Company under Article 10 with respect to any such unpaid obligations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Designated Borrower that is a Subsidiary of the Parent (other than the Company) shall cease
to be a Designated Borrower solely because it no longer is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company. 
  

 46 








 Section 2.17. Mitigation of Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any
Lender shall request a payment under Section 2.13, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of
its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such filing, designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 in the future, and (ii) would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender. 
 (b) In the event that (i) any Lender shall request a payment under Section 2.13 or
Section 2.15, or (ii) any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, the Company shall have the right to replace such Lender with one or more assignees, each of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent, provided that at the time of such replacement such Lender and such assignee or assignees shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to which such assignee or assignees shall acquire the Commitment and
the outstanding Advances and participations in Reimbursement Obligations acquired under Section 2.02(f) of such Lender upon payment to such Lender of the full outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, all such
Advances and all accrued and unpaid fees and other amounts payable to such Lender, including without limitation any and all amounts payable to such Lender under Section 9.04(b) as a result of such transaction. Upon the execution and delivery of
such Assignment and Assumption Agreements and compliance with the related requirements of Section 9.06, such Lender shall cease to be a Lender and each such assignee shall become a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification
provisions that survive with respect to the departing Lender. 
 Section 2.18. Extension of Commitment Termination Date.
(a) The Company may (on its own behalf and on behalf of the Designated Borrowers), at its option, by written notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 hereto no earlier than 60 days and no later than 45
days prior to each of the first two anniversaries of April 12, 2006 (each, an “Anniversary Date”), request that the Lenders extend the Commitment Termination Date to a date one year after the Commitment Termination Date then in
effect (at any time, the “Existing Commitment Termination Date”). Such request shall be irrevocable and binding upon the Company and the Designated Borrowers. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such
request. If a Lender agrees, in its individual and sole discretion, to so extend its Commitment (each such Lender being an “Extending Lender”), such Extending Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a written notice
substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 hereto of its agreement to do so no earlier than 30 days and no later than 20 days prior to such Anniversary Date, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company in writing of each such Extending
Lender’s agreement to extend its Commitment no later than 17 days prior to such Anniversary Date. If, and only if, Lenders holding more than 50% of the Total Commitments are Extending Lenders, the Commitment Termination Date shall, effective as
of such Anniversary Date, be extended to the date one year after the then Existing Commitment Termination Date. 
  

 47 








 (b) If any Lender does not consent, or fails to respond within the time period set forth in
Section 2.18, to a request by the Company for an extension of the then Existing Commitment Termination Date (each such Lender being a “Declining Lender”), such Declining Lender’s Commitment shall be reduced to zero and all
amounts payable to such Declining Lender under this Agreement shall be paid in full, in each case on the then Existing Commitment Termination Date, subject to clause (c) below. All outstanding Revolving Credit Advances and Competitive Bid
Advances provided by such Declining Lender shall mature no later than the Existing Commitment Termination Date in effect prior to the giving effect to such extension described in this Section 2.18. 
 (c) If Lenders holding at least 50% of the Total Commitments shall be Extending Lenders as provided in clause Section 2.18 above then
the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify such Extending Lenders in writing of the opportunity to increase their Commitments in an aggregate amount up to the Total Commitments of the Declining Lenders. It shall be in each Extending
Lender’s sole discretion whether to increase its Commitment hereunder. No later than 5 days after its receipt of the Administrative Agent’s notice, each Extending Lender that is willing to increase its Commitment hereunder (an
“Increasing Extending Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a notice in which such Lender shall set forth the maximum increase in its Commitment to which such Increasing Extending Lender is willing to agree, and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to the Company a copy of such Increasing Extending Lender’s notice. After first offering the Extending Lenders the opportunity to increase their Commitments, if a shortfall remains, the Company may
(on its own behalf and on behalf of the Designated Borrowers), to the extent of such remaining shortfall, replace the Declining Lenders with one or more New Lenders in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(c). Any such
increase of the Commitments of such Extending Lenders, and any new Commitments of such New Lenders, shall take effect on the immediately ensuing Anniversary Date, and the Commitments of the Declining Lenders shall on such Anniversary Date be reduced
by the aggregate amount of such increases and such new Commitments (such reduction to be pro rata on the basis of the respective Commitments of the Declining Lenders) with any balance of the Commitments of the Declining Lenders expiring on
the then Existing Commitment Termination Date; and if on such Anniversary Date there are Revolving Credit Advances outstanding, appropriate adjustments shall be made among the Lenders so as to assure that the Revolving Credit Advances are, from such
Anniversary Date, held by the Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Commitments as adjusted as herein provided; and the participations of the Lenders in any outstanding Letters of Credit shall on such Anniversary Date be
automatically adjusted so as to be on a pro rata basis as adjusted as herein provided. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
extension of the Existing Commitment Termination Date shall be effective unless: 
 (i) no Default shall have
occurred and be continuing on and as of each of the date of the notice requesting such extension, the relevant Anniversary Date and the Existing Commitment Termination Date; and 
  

 48 








 (ii) each of the representations and warranties made by the Company in
Article 4 shall be true and complete in all material respects on and as of each of the date of the notice requesting such extension and such Anniversary Date with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such
representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date).

as administrative agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, 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 instructions of the Majority Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. The Administrative Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice
of each notice given to it by the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
 Section 8.02. Administrative
Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or

thereof until the Administrative Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Assumption entered into by the Lender that is the payee of such Note, as assignor, and an assignee, as provided in Section 9.06; (b) may consult with legal

execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect
of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile transmission, telex, telegram or electronic messaging system) believed by it in good
faith, and in the absence of knowledge to the contrary, to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties. 
 Section 8.03. CUSA and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitment, the Advances made by it and the Note issued to it, CUSA shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same
as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include CUSA in its individual capacity. CUSA and its Affiliates (including, without limitation,
their respective directors, officers, agents or employees) may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Company, any Subsidiary and any Person who may do business
with or own securities of the Company or any Subsidiary, all as if CUSA were not the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 
 Section 8.04. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Co-Lead Arranger, the Syndication Agent
identified on the cover hereof, or any Lender and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.05 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges and agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon any such party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 Section 8.05. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company), ratably according to the amounts of the Revolving Credit Advances held by them (or if no
Revolving Credit Advances are at the time outstanding, ratably according to the amounts of their respective Commitments), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses
or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent
under this Agreement, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative
Agent’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including legal
fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the

  

 61 








 
modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is entitled to be, but is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Company. 
 Section 8.06. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent at any time by giving at least fifteen days’ advance written notice thereof to
the Lenders and the Company and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Majority Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which successor
shall be approved by the Company (such approval (a) not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and (b) not to be required following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default). If no successor Administrative Agent
shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Majority Lenders’ removal of the retiring
Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any
State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000, which successor shall be approved by the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative
Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 8 shall
inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. 
 Section 8.07. Lead Arrangers, Etc. The parties agree neither the Co-Lead Arrangers nor the Syndication Agent identified on the cover page of this Agreement, in their capacities as such, shall have any obligations, liability or
responsibility under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 ARTICLE 9 
 MISCELLANEOUS

 (iv) The
Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of each Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Advance (and any Note evidencing the Advance) and Reimbursement Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, each Issuing Lender and each Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
prior notice. 
 (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning
Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause Section 9.06(ii) of this Section 9.06
and any written consent to such assignment required by clause Section 9.06 of this Section 9.06, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No
assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this clause. 
 (b) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances owing to it); 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 obligations, and (C) each Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any
amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.03 that affects such Participant (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute a change in the terms of such
participation, and that an increase in any Commitment

  

 69 








 
or Loan shall be permitted without consent of any Participant if the Participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof). The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.15 and 9.04(c) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause Section 9.06 of this Section, provided that no Participant shall be
entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such subsections than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such
transfer occurred. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.12 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.12(b) as though
it were a Lender. 
 (c) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights
under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 9.06 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. 
 (d) If the Company shall designate as a Designated Borrower hereunder any Subsidiary not organized under the laws of the United States or
any State thereof, any Lender may, with notice to the Administrative Agent and the Company, fulfill its Commitment by causing an Affiliate of such Lender to act as the Lender in respect of such Designated Borrower (and such Lender shall, to the
extent of Advances made to and participations in Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Designated Borrower, be deemed for all purposes hereof to have pro tanto assigned such Advances and participations to such Affiliate in
compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.06). 
 Section 9.07. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York. 
 Section 9.08. Execution in
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier or by electronic communication shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

 Section 9.09. Captions. Captions and Section headings appearing herein are included solely for convenience of
reference and are not intended to affect the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. 
 Section 9.10.
Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors,
officers, employees and

  

 70 








 
agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates (in which case the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as
applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to notify the Company prior to such disclosure), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement,
(e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as
those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any pledgee referred to in Section 9.06(d), or
(iii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any Hedging Agreement, or any actual or potential credit insurance provider, relating to the Parent or the Company and their obligations, (g) with the consent of the
Company, or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Lender or any Lender on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Parent or its Subsidiaries. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Parent, any of
its Subsidiaries or their respective business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Parent or its Subsidiaries;
provided that, in the case of information received from the Parent or its Subsidiaries 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 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its
own confidential information. 
 Section 9.11. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 9.12.
Integration. This Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. 
 Section 9.13. Jurisdiction, Etc. (a) Each Credit Party irrevocably submits, for itself and its Property, to the
nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America, in each case sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined

  

 71 








 
in any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each Credit Party further irrevocably agrees that any and all legal process in connection with any such
action or proceeding in any such court may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to it at its address set forth in Section 9.02(a), such service being hereby acknowledged by such Credit Party to
be effective and binding service. Each Credit Party 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 any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now
or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance
of such action or proceeding in any such court. 
 Section 9.14. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH CREDIT PARTY, THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS. 
 Section 9.15. Judgment Currency. This is an international loan transaction in which the
specification of U.S. Dollars or an Alternate Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Currency”), and any payment in New York City or the country of the Specified Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified
Place”), is of the essence, and each Specified Currency shall be the currency of account in all events relating to Advances denominated in such Specified Currency. The payment obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents shall not be discharged by an amount paid in another currency or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified Currency and transfer to the
Specified Place under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of the Specified Currency at the Specified Place due hereunder. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the
Specified Currency into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange which shall be applied shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Administrative Agent could purchase the
Specified Currency with the Second Currency on the Business Day next preceding that on which such judgment is rendered (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Secondary Currency Conversion Date”). 
 If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Secondary Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the
amount due, the Borrower covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, or remit, or cause to be remitted, such additional

  

 72 








 
amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Secondary Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date
of payment, will produce the amount of the Specified Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Secondary Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Secondary Currency Conversion
Date. 
 Section 9.16. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Company that pursuant to the requirements of
the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the names and
addresses of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Act. 
 Section 9.17. No Financing Relationship. Each Credit Party hereby acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement; neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has
any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Credit Party or any Designated Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement; the relationship between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on one hand, and the Credit Parties and
the Designated Borrowers, on the other hand, in connection herewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and no joint venture exists among the Lenders, or among the Credit Parties and the Lenders, with respect to this Agreement. 
 Section 9.18. European Monetary Union.  
 (a) Alternative Currencies. If and to the extent that any EMU Legislation provides that an amount denominated either in the Euro or in the National Currency Unit of a Participating Member State and
payable within the Participating Member State by crediting an account of the creditor can be paid by the debtor either in the Euro Unit or in that National Currency Unit, any party to this Agreement shall be entitled to pay such amount either in the
Euro Unit or in such National Currency Unit. 
 (b) Payments by the Administrative Agent Generally. With respect to the
payment of any amount denominated in the Euro or in a National Currency Unit, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable to the Company or any of the Lenders in any way whatsoever for any delay, or the consequences of any delay, in the crediting
to any account of any amount required by this Agreement to be paid by the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent shall have taken all relevant steps to achieve, on the date required by this Agreement, the payment of such amount in
immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds (in the Euro Unit or, as the case may be, in a National Currency Unit) to the account of the Company or any Lender, as the case may be, in the Principal Financial Center in the Participating
Member State which the Company or, as the case may be, such Lender shall have specified for such purpose. In this paragraph (b), “all relevant steps” shall mean all such steps as may be prescribed from time to time by the regulations or
operating procedures of such clearing or settlement system as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably determine for the purpose of clearing or settling payments of the Euro. 
  

 73 








 (c) Determination of Eurocurrency Rate or LIBO Rate. For the purposes of determining
the date on which the applicable interest rate for Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances, as the case may be, is determined under this Agreement for any Advance denominated in the Euro (or any National Currency Unit) for any Interest
Period therefor, references in this Agreement to London Banking Days shall be deemed to be references to Target Operating Days. In addition, if the Administrative Agent determines that there is no Eurocurrency Rate or LIBO Rate, as the case may be,
displayed on the Screen Page for deposits denominated in the National Currency Unit in which any Advances are denominated, the Eurocurrency Rate or LIBO Rate, as the case may be, for such Advances shall be based upon the rate displayed on the
applicable Screen Page for the offering of deposits denominated in Euro Units. 
 (d) Rounding. Without prejudice and in
addition to any method of conversion or rounding prescribed by the EMU Legislation, each reference in this Agreement to a minimum amount (or a multiple thereof) in a National Currency Unit to be paid to or by the Administrative Agent shall be
replaced by a reference to such reasonably comparable and convenient amount (or a multiple thereof) in the Euro Unit as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify. 
 (e) Other Consequential Changes. Without prejudice to the respective liabilities of the Company to the Lenders and the Lenders to the
Company under or pursuant to this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Section 9.18, each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time
specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction of or changeover to the Euro in Participating Member States. 
 Section 9.19. Addition of Guarantors. Any subsidiary of the Parent may become a party hereto as a Guarantor and Credit Party by signing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a Guarantee and Joinder Agreement. 
 Section 9.20. Release of Guarantors. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent
to release any Guarantor (other than the Parent and the Company) from its obligations under its Guarantee in accordance with the terms of the applicable Guarantee and Joinder Agreement. 
 ARTICLE 10 
 GUARANTEE 
 Section 10.01. Guarantee. The Company hereby unconditionally guarantees to each Lender and the Administrative Agent and their
respective successors and assigns the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by optional prepayment or otherwise) of the principal of and interest on any and all Advances made to and Reimbursement Obligations
of each Designated Borrower and all other amounts whatsoever from time to time owing to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent or any of them by any

  

 74 








 
Designated Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents pursuant to its Designation Letter, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein
collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Company hereby further agrees that if any Designated Borrower shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by optional prepayment or
otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Company will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be
promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. 
 Section 10.02. Obligations Unconditional. (a) The obligations of the Company under this Article 10 are unconditional irrespective of (i) the authorization, value, genuineness,
legality, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) any modification, amendment or waiver of the terms of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, (iii) any extension of time for performance or waiver of
performance of any covenant of any Designated Borrower or any failure or omission to enforce or delay in enforcing any right with regard to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, (iv) any bankruptcy or insolvency of any Designated Borrower,
(v) any exchange, surrender, release of any other guaranty of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or (vi) any other circumstance with regard to any of the Guaranteed Obligations which may or might in any manner constitute a
legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent hereof that the obligations of the Company hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. 
 (b) The Company hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand, protest, and all notices whatsoever with regard to any of the
Guaranteed Obligations and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Designated Borrower hereunder or under the Designation Letter of such Designated Borrower or any Note of
such Designated Borrower. 
 Section 10.03. Reinstatement. The guarantee in this Article 10 shall be automatically
reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Designated Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder(s) of any of the Guaranteed Obligations,
whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise. 
 Section 10.04. Subrogation.
Until the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Advances and the Reimbursement Obligations and all other amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (other than
contingent indemnification obligations), the Company hereby agrees not to enforce any rights arising by way of subrogation or contribution, whether arising by operation of law (including, without limitation, any such right arising under the
Bankruptcy Code) or otherwise, arising from any payment by it pursuant to the provisions of this Article 10. 
  

 75 








 Section 10.05. Remedies. The Company agrees that, as between the Company on the
one hand and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent on the other hand, the obligations of any Designated Borrower guaranteed under this Agreement may be declared to be forthwith due and payable, or may be deemed automatically to have been
accelerated, as provided in Article 7, for purposes of Section 10.01 hereof notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition (whether in a bankruptcy proceeding affecting such Designated Borrower or otherwise) preventing such
declaration as against such Designated Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration or automatic acceleration such obligations (whether or not due and payable by such Designated Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Company
for purposes of said Section 10.01. 
 Section 10.06. Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article 10 is
a continuing guarantee and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising. 
 Section 10.07. Limitation of
Liability. The Company’s obligation under the Guarantee set forth in this Article 10 with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations of the Parent, if any, shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render
its guarantee of such Guaranteed Obligations subject to avoidance under section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of any other applicable law.

 TO AMENDMENT NO. 1 
 EXHIBIT I 
 [Form of Guarantee and Joinder Agreement] 
 GUARANTEE AND JOINDER AGREEMENT dated as of [            ] by [NAME OF GUARANTOR], a
[            ] corporation (with its successors, the “Guarantor”) for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties named below. 
 WHEREAS, the Guarantor is [describe relationship] of, MERCK & CO., INC., New Jersey Corporation (with its successors, the
“Company”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Company, the LENDERS party thereto (the “Lenders”) and
CITICORP USA, INC., as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent” and, together with the Lenders, the “Guaranteed Parties”) are parties to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 12,
2006 (as amended on or prior to the date hereof, including by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated April 20, 2009, the “Credit Agreement”). 
 WHEREAS, the Guarantor is willing to enter into this Guarantee and Joinder Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined herein have, as used herein, the respective meanings provided for therein; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor agrees as follows: 
 1. The Guarantee. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to each Guaranteed Party the full and punctual payment when due
(whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest on any and all Advances made to and Reimbursement Obligations of the Company, obligations of the Company pursuant to Article 10 of the Credit Agreement,
and all other amounts whatsoever from time to time owing to the Guaranteed Parties or any of them by the Company under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (the
“Guaranteed Obligations”). Upon failure by the Company to pay any Guaranteed Obligation punctually when due, the Guarantor shall forthwith on demand pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified in the
instrument evidencing such Guaranteed Obligation; provided that, in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be punctually paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity,
by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. 
 2. Guarantee Unconditional.
The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by: 
 (a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of the Company or any
other Person under any Loan Document, by operation of law or otherwise; 
  

 1 








 (b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to any Loan Document;

 (c) any release, impairment, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for any
obligation of the Company or any other Person under any Loan Document; 
 (d) any change in the corporate
existence, structure or ownership of the Company or any other Person, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Company or any other Person or any of their assets or any resulting release or discharge of
any obligation of the Company or any other Person under any Loan Document; 
 (e) the existence of any claim,
set-off or other rights that the Guarantor may have at any time against the Company or any other Person, whether in connection with the Loan Documents or with any unrelated transactions; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the
assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim; 
 (f) any invalidity or
unenforceability relating to or against the Company or any other Person for any reason of any Loan Document or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment of any Guaranteed Obligation by the Company or any other
Person; or 
 (g) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Company, or any other Person or
any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. 
 3. Limit of Liability. If the Guarantor (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company in its capacity as a Guarantor) is a
subsidiary of Parent (such Guarantor a “Subsidiary Guarantor”), the obligation of such Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations
hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of any other applicable law. 
 4. Release of Guarantee. 
 (a) The Guarantor’s
obligations hereunder shall, subject to clause (c) below, remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claims have been asserted)
and no Lender shall have any Commitment under, and no Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding under, the Credit Agreement. 
 (b) If at any time any payment of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise, the
Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time. 
 (c) If it shall come to pass that any Subsidiary Guarantor is a guarantor neither with respect to any other Credit Facility nor with respect to the Senior Notes, or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall cease to
be a Subsidiary of the Parent, or all the assets of a Subsidiary Guarantor are sold to a Person other than the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, in a transaction not otherwise prohibited by the Credit Agreement (any such sale, a
“Sale of

  

 2 








 
Guarantor”), such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released from its Guarantee hereunder, and the Administrative Agent shall, at the Company’s expense, execute and
deliver such documents as the Company may reasonably request to evidence such release. Such release shall not require the consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall be fully protected in relying on a
certificate of the Company or the Parent as to whether the foregoing conditions are satisfied. 
 5. Waiver by the
Guarantor. The Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any person or entity against any other
guarantor, the Company or any other person or entity. 
 6. Subrogation. Upon making full payment with respect to any
Guaranteed Obligation hereunder, the Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Company with respect to such payment; provided that the Guarantor shall not enforce any payment by way of subrogation against the
Company unless all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claims have been asserted) and no Lender shall have any Commitment under, and no Letter of Credit shall remain
outstanding under, the Credit Agreement. 
 7. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any
Guaranteed Obligation is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, all such Guaranteed Obligations otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Credit Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantor
hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent. 
 8. Continuing Guarantee. This Guarantee is a continuing
guarantee, shall be binding on the Guarantor and its successors and assigns, and shall be enforceable by the Guaranteed Parties. If all or part of the Guaranteed Parties’ interest in any Guaranteed Obligation is assigned or otherwise
transferred, the transferor’s rights under this Guarantee, to the extent applicable to the obligation so transferred, shall automatically be transferred with such obligation. 
 9. Party to Credit Agreement. Upon delivering this Guarantee and Joinder Agreement to the Administrative Agent, the Guarantor will
become a party to the Credit Agreement, and the Guarantor will thereafter have all the rights and obligations of a “Guarantor” [and][, ]a “Credit Party” [and “the Parent”] thereunder and be bound by all the provisions
thereof as fully as if the Guarantor were one of the original parties thereto. 
 10. Representations and Warranties.
Each of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 4 of the Credit Agreement that relate to the Guarantor is true as applied to the Guarantor as of the date hereof. 
 11. No Waiver. No failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Guarantee and Joinder Agreement
or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Guarantee and Joinder Agreement or any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 
  

 3 








 12. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Guarantee may be amended or waived
if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by Majority Lenders and the Guarantor; provided that no such amendment or waiver shall, without the written consent of all Lenders, (x) release the Guarantor from, or
limit its liability with respect to, its obligations hereunder (other than as provided for in Section 4 hereof) or (y) modify this Section 12. 
 13. Successors and Assigns. This Guarantee shall be binding upon the Guarantor and its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties and their successors and assigns, except
that the Guarantor may not transfer or assign any or all of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all Lenders. 
 14. Miscellaneous. The Guarantor hereby agrees that this Guarantee and Joinder Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York. The Guarantor
hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America, in each case sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out
of or relating to this Guarantee and Joinder Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any
such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. The Guarantor irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guarantee and Joinder Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any
such court. The Guarantor further irrevocably agrees that any and all legal process in connection with any such action or proceeding in any such court may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to it
at the address set forth in Section 9.02(a) of the Credit Agreement, such service being hereby acknowledged by such Credit Party to be effective and binding service. 
 15. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS GUARANTEE AND JOINDER AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties
hereto have caused this Guarantee and Joinder Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
