 (vii) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which
shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.” 
 If no election as to the Type of Borrowing of
Revolving Loans is specified, then (A) a Borrowing of Revolving Loans requested in dollars shall be an ABR Borrowing and (B) a Borrowing of Revolving Loans requested in Euros or Sterling shall be a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest
Period of one month. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing of Revolving Loans, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly
following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to
be made as part of the requested Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.04 Protective Advances. (a) Subject to the
limitations set forth below, the Administrative Agent is authorized by the Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation to), to make (or authorize the

was denominated, to repay a Protective Advance. At any other time the Administrative Agent may require the Lenders to fund, in the currency in which the applicable Protective Advance was denominated, their risk participations described in
Section 2.04(b). It is agreed that the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as applicable shall endeavor, but without any obligation, to notify the Borrower Representative promptly after the making of any Protective
Advance. 
 (b) Upon the making of a Protective Advance by the Administrative Agent or the European
Administrative Agent, as applicable, in accordance with the terms hereof, each Facility A Lender or Facility B Lender, as applicable, shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from

 (c) Swingline Settlements. Each of the Administrative Agent and the
European Administrative Agent, on behalf of the US Swingline Lender or the European Swingline Lender, as applicable, shall request settlement (a “Settlement”) with the Facility A Lenders or Facility B Lenders, as applicable, on at

forth in Section 4.02 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the applicable Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Swingline Lender’s Swingline Loans and, together with such Swingline Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan, shall constitute Revolving Loans of such applicable Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to the applicable Agent by any applicable Lender on such Settlement Date, the applicable
Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.07. 
 SECTION 2.06 Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower Representative may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for

 subject, in the case of
each of clause (C), (D) and (E) above, to the Administrative Agent’s authority, in its sole discretion, to make Protective Advances pursuant to the terms of Section 2.04. 
 (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of

periods and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date. 
 (d)
Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of any Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the applicable Issuing Bank hereby
grants to each Facility A Lender, with respect to a Facility A Letter of Credit, or each Facility B Lender, with respect to a Facility B Letter of Credit, and each Facility A Lender or Facility B Lender, as applicable, hereby acquires from the
applicable Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each
Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as applicable, in the same currency as the applicable LC Disbursement, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as

  

 - 52 - 








 
provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to
acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the
occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 
 (e) Reimbursement. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable
Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as applicable, in the currency in which the applicable Letter of Credit was issued, an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not
later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower Representative or the applicable Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 9:00 a.m., Local Time, on such date, or, if such
notice has not been received by the Borrower Representative or the applicable Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower Representative or the applicable
Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 9:00 a.m., Local Time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower Representative or the applicable Borrower receives such
notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Borrower Representative on behalf of the applicable Borrower (or the applicable Borrower) may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth
herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05 that such payment be financed with a Borrowing of Revolving Loans or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and like currency and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation
to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Borrowing of Revolving Loans or Swingline Loan; provided further that no such payment shall be permitted to be financed with a Eurocurrency Borrowing. If any
Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Facility A Lender or Facility B Lender, as applicable, of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each applicable Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as applicable, in the same currency as the applicable LC
Disbursement, its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the applicable Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis
mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the applicable Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent or the
European Administrative Agent, as the case may be, of any payment from a Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, such Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this
paragraph to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank, then such Agent shall distribute such payment to such Lenders and the applicable Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the
applicable Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers or the Loan Guarantors of their respective
obligations to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 
 (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’
obligations to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all
circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit

  

 - 53 - 








 
proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit
against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the
provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, either Collateral Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Banks,
nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the
circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document
required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the
applicable Issuing Bank from liability to any Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by
such Borrower that are caused by the applicable Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree
that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In
furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable
Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such
documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 
 (g)
Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify
the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as applicable, and the Borrower Representative (or applicable Borrower) by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will
make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers or the Loan Guarantors of their obligations to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to
any such LC Disbursement. 
 (h) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement,
then, unless a Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the
date that a Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans, in the case of an LC Disbursement in respect of a US Letter of Credit denominated in dollars, and at the rate per annum then
applicable to Overnight LIBO Loans, in the case of an LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit denominated in Euros or Sterling or a European Letter of Credit denominated in dollars; provided that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse
such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest
accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment. 
  

 - 54 - 








 (i) Replacement of the Issuing Banks. Any Issuing Bank may be
replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the
Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and
after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and
(ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of
an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such
replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. 
 (j) Cash
Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower Representative receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been
accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing more than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph or if any of the other provisions hereof require cash collateralization, the Borrowers
shall deposit in an account with the applicable Collateral Agent, in the name of such Collateral Agent and for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount, in cash and in the
currency in which the applicable Letters of Credit are denominated, equal to 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall
become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of
Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the applicable Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. Each Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of
withdrawal, over such account, such account shall be subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement and/or acknowledgement of notice, as applicable, and each Borrower hereby grants the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and
the Issuing Banks) a security interest in the LC Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of each Collateral Agent and at each
Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by each Collateral Agent to reimburse the applicable
Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of
the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing more than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash
collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the applicable Borrower or Borrower Representative for the account of the applicable Borrower within
two Business Days after all such Defaults have been cured or waived. 
  

 - 55 - 








 (k) On the Effective Date, (i) each Existing Letter of Credit, to the
extent outstanding, shall be automatically and without further action by the parties thereto deemed converted into a Facility A Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.06 at the request of the Company and subject to the provisions hereof as
if each such Existing Letter of Credit had been issued on the Effective Date, (ii) each such Existing Letter of Credit shall be included in the calculation of LC Exposure and “Facility A LC Exposure” and (iii) all liabilities of
the Company and the other Loan Parties with respect to such Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute Obligations. 
 SECTION 2.07 Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., Local Time, to the account of
the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as applicable, in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. Each of the
Administrative Agent and the European Administrative Agent, as applicable, will make such Loans available to the Borrower Representative (or, if directed by the Borrower Representative, to the account of the applicable Borrower) by promptly
crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Funding Account(s); provided that Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the
Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as applicable, to the applicable Issuing Bank and (ii) a Protective Advance shall be retained by the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as applicable, and
disbursed in its discretion. 
 (b) Unless the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as
applicable, shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as applicable, such Lender’s share of
such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as applicable, may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as
applicable (a “Non-Funding Lender”), then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers agree (jointly and severally with each other Borrower, but severally and not jointly with the applicable Lenders) to pay to the Administrative Agent
or the European Administrative Agent, as applicable, forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of
payment to the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as applicable, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent or the European
Administrative Agent, as applicable, in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans (in the case of dollar-denominated amounts) or Overnight
LIBO Loans (in the case of Euro or Sterling-denominated amounts). If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as applicable, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in
such Borrowing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall preserve their rights and remedies against any Non-Funding Lender which has not made Loans required by the terms and provisions hereof. 
 SECTION 2.08 Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans initially shall be of the Type specified in the
applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing of Revolving Loans, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower Representative may elect to convert such Borrowing
to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing of Revolving Loans, may elect Interest Periods

therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower Representative may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion
shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings or Protective
Advances, which may not be converted or continued. 
 (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the
Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as applicable, of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrowers were
requesting a Borrowing of Revolving Loans of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand
delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as applicable, of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as applicable, and
signed by the Borrower Representative. 
 (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify
the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (A) the Borrower, the Facility and the
Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be
specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 
 (B) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (C) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and 
 (D) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the
term “Interest Period”. 
 If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest
Period, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
 (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each
resulting Borrowing. 
 (e) If the Borrower Representative fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request
with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing of Revolving Loans prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to
(i) an ABR Borrowing, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing of Revolving Loans denominated in dollars, or (ii) an Overnight LIBO Borrowing, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing of Revolving Loans denominated in Euros or Sterling.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower Representative, then, so long as an Event of Default
is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing of Revolving Loans may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, (A) each Eurocurrency

  

 - 57 - 








 
Borrowing of Revolving Loans denominated in dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (B) each Eurocurrency Borrowing of
Revolving Loans denominated in Euros or Sterling shall be converted to an Overnight LIBO Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 SECTION 2.09 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, all Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. 
 (b) The Borrowers may at any time terminate in full the Commitments and/or may at any time terminate in full the European
Sublimit upon (i) the payment in full in cash of all outstanding Loans or European Loans, as applicable, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and on any Letters of Credit or European Letters of Credit, as applicable, (ii) the
cancellation and return of all outstanding Letters of Credit or European Letters of Credit, as applicable (or alternatively, with respect to each applicable Letter of Credit, the furnishing to the applicable Collateral Agent of a cash deposit in the
currency in which the applicable Letters of Credit are denominated (or at the discretion of the Administrative Agent a back up standby letter of credit satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and in the currency in which the applicable Letters of
Credit are denominated) equal to 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date), (iii) the payment in full in cash of the accrued and unpaid fees and (iv) the payment in full in cash of all reimbursable expenses and other Obligations or
Obligations of the European Borrowers, as applicable, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Upon the termination in full of the European Sublimit and the satisfaction in full of the Obligations of the European Borrowers (other than
Obligations in respect of contingent liabilities not then due), (x) the European Borrowers will be released from their obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, but not limited to, all reporting obligations
contained in Section 5.01 relating to the European Borrowing Base) in their capacities as such, other than in respect of obligations which expressly survive the term of this Agreement, (y) all Collateral and any Loan Guaranties of the
European Borrowers will be released and (z) all events relating to any Minimum European Availability Period will cease to have effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the termination of the European Sublimit without a corresponding termination
of the Commitments shall have no effect on the availability to the Company of the Facility B Commitments. 
 (c)
The Borrowers may from time to time reduce the Commitments; provided that (i) each such reduction shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000, (ii) each such reduction shall be
applied to the Facility A Commitments and the Facility B Commitments ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of the Commitments at such time and (iii) the Borrowers shall not reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any
concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, (A) the total Revolving Exposure would exceed the lesser of (x) the aggregate amount of the Commitments and (y) the Aggregate Borrowing Base, (B) the total
Facility A Revolving Exposure would exceed the lesser of (x) the aggregate amount of the Facility A Commitments and (y) the US Borrowing Base, (C) the total Facility B Revolving Exposure would exceed the lesser of (x) the
aggregate amount of the Facility B Commitments and (y) the Aggregate Borrowing Base minus the total Revolving Exposure or (D) the total Facility B Revolving Exposure with respect to the European Borrowers would exceed the
European Sublimit. 
 (d) The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to
terminate or reduce the Commitments or the European Sublimit under paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective
date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the

  

 - 58 - 








 
Borrower Representative pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower Representative may state that such
notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower Representative (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is
not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. 
 SECTION 2.10 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to pay to the
Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as applicable (i) for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date and (ii) the then unpaid amount of each Protective
Advance on the earlier of the Maturity Date and demand by such Agent. 
 (b) During any Full Cash Dominion
Period, on each Business Day, the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall apply all funds credited to any applicable Collection Account as of 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on such Business Day (whether or not
immediately available) first to prepay any Protective Advances that may be outstanding, pro rata, and second to prepay the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans) (without a corresponding reduction in Commitments) and to cash
collateralize outstanding LC Exposure; provided that during any Full Cash Dominion Period which is based solely on a European Full Cash Dominion Period (but not a Total Full Cash Dominion Period) the foregoing shall apply exclusively to the
European Borrowers (including any Collection Account thereof) and the prepayment and/or cash collateralization of European Protective Advances, European Revolving Loans and Revolving Exposure relating to the European Borrowers in respect of their
Facility B Loans. Any such application of funds shall be made (i) from Collections Accounts of the US Loan Parties first in respect of Obligations of the US Loan Parties under each Facility ratably in accordance with the then outstanding
amounts thereof and second in respect of Obligations of the European Loan Parties and (ii) from Collections Accounts of the European Loan Parties and shall be made solely in respect of Obligations of the European Loan Parties.

 (c) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the
indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 
 (d) [Reserved]. 
 (e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations
recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay
the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (f) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be
evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in
a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in
such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 
  

 - 59 - 








 SECTION 2.11 Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrowers shall have the right
at any time and from time to time, and without premium or penalty, to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (f) of this Section. 
 (b) Except for Protective Advances permitted under Section 2.04, in the event and on such occasion that: 
 (i) the Facility A Revolving Exposure or Facility B Revolving Exposure of any Lender exceeds such Lender’s Facility A
Commitment or Facility B Commitment, respectively; 
 (ii) the total Revolving Exposure exceeds the lesser of
(x) the aggregate amount of the Commitments or (y) the Aggregate Borrowing Base; 
 (iii) the total
Facility A Revolving Exposure exceeds the lesser of (x) the aggregate amount of the Facility A Commitments and (y) the US Borrowing Base; 
 (iv) the total Facility B Revolving Exposure exceeds the lesser of (x) the aggregate amount of the Facility B Commitments and (y) the Aggregate Borrowing Base minus the total
Revolving Exposure; 
 (v) the total Facility B Revolving Exposure relating to the European Borrowers exceeds the
European Sublimit; or 
 (vi) the total Revolving Exposure relating to the Company exceeds the US Borrowing Base;

 the Borrowers, as applicable, shall promptly prepay the Revolving Loans, LC Exposure and/or Swingline Loans in an aggregate
amount equal to such excess. 
 (c) The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent and the
European Administrative Agent, as applicable (and in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the applicable Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency
Borrowing of Revolving Loans, not later than 10:00 a.m., Local Time, two Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing of Revolving Loans or an Overnight LIBO Borrowing of Revolving Loans,
not later than 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on the Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid;
provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is
revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing of Revolving Loans, the applicable Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing
of Revolving Loans shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be applied
ratably to the Revolving Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.

 SECTION 2.12 Fees. (a) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but
excluding the date on which the Lenders’ Commitments terminate. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first
such date to occur after the Effective Date. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed. 
 (b) The Borrowers agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with
respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Spread in the case of standby Letters of Credit, and 50% of the Applicable Spread in the case of trade Letters of Credit, in each case used to determine
the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the
Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the applicable Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue
at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of
the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or
processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of each calendar quarter shall be payable on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and on the date on which the Commitments
terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments
terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days
and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed. 
 (c) The Borrowers agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available dollars, to the Administrative Agent
(or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to an Issuing Bank) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 
 SECTION 2.13 Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each US Swingline Loan and each Protective
Advance denominated in dollars) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Spread. 
 (b)
The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Spread. 
 (c) The Loans comprising each Overnight LIBO Borrowing (including each European Swingline Loan and each Facility B Protective
Advance denominated in Euros or Sterling) shall bear interest at the Overnight LIBO Rate plus the Applicable Spread. 
  

 - 61 - 








 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the occurrence and continuance of
an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower Representative (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of
Section 9.02 requiring the consent of “each Lender directly affected thereby” for reductions in interest rates), declare that (i) all Loans and participation fees on account of Letters of Credit shall bear interest at 2% plus the
rate otherwise applicable to such Loans or participation fees, as applicable, as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount outstanding hereunder, (x) if such amount is denominated in
dollars, such amount shall accrue at 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section, and (y) if such amount is denominated in Euros or Sterling, such amount shall accrue at 2% plus the rate applicable
to Overnight LIBO Rate Loans as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section. 
 (e) Accrued interest on each
Loan (for ABR Loans and Overnight LIBO Loans, accrued through the last day of the prior calendar month) shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that
(i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability
Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period
therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 
 (f) All
interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that (i) interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis
of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed and (ii) interest computed on Loans and Letters of Credit denominated in Sterling shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365
days, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed. The applicable Alternate Base Rate, LIBO Rate or Overnight LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as applicable, and such
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (g) All interest hereunder shall be paid in the
currency in which the Loan giving rise to such interest is denominated. 
 SECTION 2.14 Alternate Rate of
Interest. (a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing: 
 (A) the
Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

 (B) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate,
as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 
  

 - 62 - 








 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the Lenders by
telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election
Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing of Revolving Loans to, or continuation of any Borrowing of Revolving Loans as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective, (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing
of Revolving Loans denominated in dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing and (iii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing of Revolving Loans denominated in Euros or Sterling, such Borrowing shall be made
as an Alternate Rate Borrowing. 
 (b) If at any time: 
 (A) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Overnight LIBO Rate; or 
 (B) the Administrative Agent is
advised by the Required Lenders that the Overnight LIBO Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in any Overnight LIBO Borrowing; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable
thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any Overnight LIBO Borrowing (including any Facility B Swingline Loan denominated
in Euros or Sterling) shall be made as an Alternate Rate Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.15 Increased Costs. (a) If
any Change in Law shall: 
 (A) subject any Lender or any Issuing Bank to any (or any increase in any) Other
Connection Taxes with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Letter of Credit, or any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Loan made or Letter of Credit issued by it, except any such Taxes imposed on or measured by its net
income or profits (however denominated) or franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income or profits taxes; 
 (B)
impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate
or Overnight LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Bank; or 
 (C) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London
interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans or Overnight LIBO Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan or Overnight LIBO Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such
Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of
principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional
costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
  

 - 63 - 








 (b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law
regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a
consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s
or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding
company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such
Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate
of a Lender or any Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be
delivered to the Borrower Representative and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt
thereof. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to
this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this
Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day
period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 SECTION
2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default),
(b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered
pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.09(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a
Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had
such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert
or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid,
at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant
to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Representative and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
  

 - 64 - 








 SECTION 2.17 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any applicable law (as determined in the
good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent (as defined below)) requires the deduction or withholding of any Indemnified Tax or Other Tax from any such payment (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any such deduction or withholding
required to be made by the applicable Loan Party, the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent, any Collateral Agent or, in the case of any Lender that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, by such Lender
for the account of any of its direct or indirect beneficial owners), the applicable Loan Party, the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent, the applicable Collateral Agent, the Lender or the applicable direct or indirect beneficial
owner of a Lender that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (any such person a “Withholding Agent”) shall make such deductions and timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable
to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent, each Collateral Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or its beneficial owner, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would
have received had no such deductions been made. A Loan Party is not required to make any payment to a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17 for a tax deduction in respect of tax imposed by the United Kingdom from a payment of interest on a
Borrowing if on the date on which the payment falls due: 
 (i) the payment could have been made to the relevant
Lender without a tax deduction if it was a UK Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be a UK Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the
interpretation, administration or application of) any law or Treaty, or any published practice or concession of any relevant taxing authority; or 
 (ii) (A) the relevant Lender is a UK Qualifying Lender solely under clause (b) of the definition of UK Qualifying Lender (a “UK Non-Bank Lender”), (B) an officer of H.M.
Revenue & Customs has given (and not revoked) a direction under section 931 of the UK Income Tax Act 2007 (as that provision has effect on the date on which the relevant Lender became a party to this Agreement) which relates to that payment
and that Lender has received from a UK Borrower a certified copy of such Direction; and (C) the payment could have been made to the Lender without any tax deduction in the absence of such Direction; or 
 (iii) the relevant Lender is a UK Non-Bank Lender and it has not, other than by reason of any change after the date of this
Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law, or any published practice or concession of any relevant taxing authority, given a Tax Confirmation to a UK Borrower. 
 (b) Each UK Non-Bank Lender agrees that, prior to becoming a party to this Agreement, it will deliver a Tax Confirmation to
the Borrower Representative.

 (c) Each UK Non-Bank Lender agrees to promptly notify the Borrower
Representative and the Administrative Agent if any of the information contained in the Tax Confirmation of such UK Non-Bank Lender is inaccurate. 
 (d) Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay, or at the option of the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent or any Collateral Agent, as
applicable, timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (e) The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent, each Collateral Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 10 days after demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes payable by the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent, such Collateral Agent, such Lender (or its beneficial owner) or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be
(including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Representative by the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative
Agent, a Collateral Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), as applicable, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. This paragraph (e) shall not apply to the extent that the Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes (i) are compensated for by an increased payment under Section 2.17(a) or (ii) would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Section 2.17(a) but were not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in
Section 2.17(a)(i), (ii) or (iii) applied. 
 (f) Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative
Agent, the European Administrative Agent or any Collateral Agent, as applicable, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, the
European Administrative Agent or any Collateral Agent, and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (g) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower Representative 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. 

(h) Each US Fee Receiver hereby represents that it is a Permitted Fee Receiver and agrees to update Internal Revenue
Service Form W-9 (or its successor form) or applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or its successor form) upon any change in such Person’s circumstances or if such form expires or becomes inaccurate or obsolete, and to promptly notify
the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent if such Person becomes legally ineligible to provide such form. 
 (i)
Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any applicable withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made

  

 - 66 - 








 
without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent or any
Collateral Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent or the
European Administrative Agent or any Collateral Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the
completion, execution and submission of such forms shall not be required if the Foreign Lender is not legally entitled to do so. 
 Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is a US Borrower, any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (in such number
of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative
Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party, 
 (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, 
 (iii) in the case of a Foreign
Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank”
within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section
881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (D) the interest payment in question is not effectively connected with the United States trade or business conducted by such Lender (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) duly completed
copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, 
 (iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial
owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or participating Lender granting a typical participation), an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, and/or
other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more beneficial owners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the
portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such beneficial owner, or 
 (v) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation
as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 
  

 - 67 - 








 Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered by it expires or becomes
obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 
 (j) If the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent, either Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank
determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including additional amounts paid by any Loan Party pursuant to this
Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent, such Collateral Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the
relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that such indemnifying party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent, such Collateral Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank,
agrees to repay the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.17(j) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent,
such Collateral Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent, such Collateral Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (j), in no event will any Issuing Bank or Lender be required to pay any amount to any Loan Party the payment of which would place the Issuing Bank or such Lender in a less
favorable net after-Tax position than the Issuing Bank or such Lender would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the
Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent, any Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any
other Person nor shall it be construed to require the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent, any Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to apply for or otherwise initiate any refund contemplated in
this Section 2.17. 
 (k) All amounts set out, or expressed to be payable under any Loan Document by any
party to the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent, either Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which
is chargeable in connection therewith. If, in connection with this Agreement, VAT is chargeable to, or in respect of any payment made by any Loan Party to, the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent, either Collateral Agent, any
Lender or any Issuing Bank, such Loan Party shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent, such Collateral Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, an amount equal to the amount of such VAT
(and the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent, such Collateral Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such party). 
 (l) Where any party is required under any Loan Document to reimburse the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative
Agent, either Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for any costs or expenses, that party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify each such Administrative Agent, European Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent,
any Lender or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, against all VAT and any stamp duty, registration or other similar tax payables, in each case incurred in connection with the entry into, performance or enforcement of any Loan Document.

 (m) The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 SECTION 2.18 Payments
Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under
Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all payments of Loans shall be paid
in the currency in which such Loans were made. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as applicable, be deemed to have been received on the next
succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as applicable, at its offices at (i) for payments of US Revolving Loans, US
Swingline Loans, LC Disbursements of any Issuing Bank in respect of US Letters of Credit, fronting fees payable to any Issuing Bank in respect of US Letters of Credit, US Protective Advances, fees payable pursuant to Section 2.12(a),
participation fees payable pursuant to Section 2.12(b), fees payable pursuant to 2.12(c) and all other payments in dollars, to the Administrative Agent at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10017 USA and (ii) for payments of European

2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. Each of the Administrative Agent and the European Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate
recipient, in like funds, promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment
accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars, except that all payments in respect of Loans (and interest thereon) and LC Obligations shall be made in the same
currency in which such Loan was made or Letter of Credit issued. During any Full Cash Dominion Period, solely for purposes of determining the amount of Loans available for borrowing purposes, checks (in addition to immediately available funds
applied pursuant to Section 2.10(b)) from collections of items of payment and proceeds of any Collateral shall be applied in whole or in part against the applicable Obligations as of 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on the Business Day of receipt,
subject to actual collection. 
 (b) Any proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent (i) not
constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Borrowers), (B) a mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance
with Section 2.11) or (C) amounts to be applied from the Collection Account during a Full Cash Dominion Period (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.10(b)) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and the Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct, such funds shall be applied ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements including amounts then due to the Administrative Agent,
the European Administrative Agent, either Collateral Agent and any Issuing Bank from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services or Swap Obligations), second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders
from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services or Swap Obligations), third, to pay interest due in respect of the Protective Advances ratably, fourth, to pay the principal of the Protective Advances ratably,
fifth, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans (other than the Protective Advances) ratably, sixth, to prepay principal on the Loans (other than the Protective Advances) and unreimbursed LC Disbursements ratably,
seventh, to pay an amount to the

  

 - 69 - 








 
US Collateral Agent equal to 103% of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations, eighth, to payment of any
amounts owing with respect to Banking Services and Swap Obligations that are Secured Obligations, ninth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent, either Collateral
Agent or any Lender by the Borrowers, and tenth, any balance remaining after the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding (other than Letters of Credit which have been cash collateralized
in accordance with the foregoing) shall be paid over to the applicable Borrower at its Funding Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower Representative, or unless a Default is
in existence, neither the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agents nor any Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any Eurocurrency Loan of a Class, except (a) on the expiration date of the
Interest Period applicable to any such Eurocurrency Loan or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding ABR Loans of the same Class and, in any such event, the Borrowers shall pay the break funding payment required
in accordance with Section 2.16. Each of the Administrative Agent and the European Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any
portion of the Secured Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such application of proceeds from Collateral of the European Loan Parties shall be made solely in respect of Obligations of the European Loan Parties. 
 (c) At the election of the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as the case may be, all payments of
principal, interest, LC Disbursements, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all reimbursement for fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.03), and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, may be paid from
the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder whether made following a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.03 or a deemed request as provided in this Section or may be deducted from any deposit account of any Borrower
maintained with either the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes (i) the Administrative Agent and the European Administrative Agent to make a Borrowing for the purpose of paying
each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Loans (including Swingline Loans, but such a Borrowing may only
constitute a Protective Advance if it is to reimburse costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 9.03) and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to Sections 2.03, 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable and
(ii) the Administrative Agent and the European Administrative Agent to charge any deposit account of any Borrower maintained with such Agent for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due
under the Loan Documents. 
 (d) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations
in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC
Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and
participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored
to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express

  

 - 70 - 








 
terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any
assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under
applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct
creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice from the Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or an Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative
Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as applicable, may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank,
as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent and the
European Administration Agent, if applicable, forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the
date of payment to the Administrative Agent or the European Administration Agent, if applicable, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation. 
 (f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder,
then the Administrative Agent and, if applicable, the European Administrative Agent, may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by it for the account of such Lender to satisfy such
Lender’s obligations hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 SECTION
2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the
account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or is otherwise a Departing Lender (as defined below), then: 
 (a) such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the
judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future, (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender (and the Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment) and (iii) would not breach
any applicable law; 
 (b) the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, require such Lender or any Lender
that defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder (herein, a “Departing Lender”), upon notice to the Departing Lender and the Administrative Agent, to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to
the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment);
provided that (i) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written

  

 - 71 - 








 
consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Banks), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) the Departing Lender shall
have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee
(to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or
payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Departing Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a
result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
 SECTION 2.20 Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent, the European
Administrative Agent, either Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set
aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement
shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent, such Collateral Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.20 shall
be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent, either Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or
application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section 2.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 (b) Except for the UK
Pension Scheme, (i) neither a UK Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates is or has at any time been an employer (for the purposes of Sections 38 to 51 of the UK Pensions Act 2004) of an occupational pension scheme which is not a
money purchase scheme (both terms as defined in the UK Pensions Schemes Act 1993) and (ii) neither a UK Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates is or has at any time been “connected” with or an “associate” of
(as those terms are used in Sections 38 and 43 of the UK Pensions Act 2004) such an employer.

 (f) All pension schemes operated or maintained for the benefit of a Loan
Party (including in the case of a UK Loan Party, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) comply with all provisions of the relevant law and employ reasonable actuarial assumptions. Other than in relation to the UK Pension Scheme, no Loan Party has any
unsatisfied liability in respect of any pension scheme and there are no circumstances which may give rise to any such liability which could reasonably be expected to have Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party shall ensure that all pension schemes
operated by or maintained for the benefit of a Loan Party (including in the case of a UK Loan Party, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) and/or any of its employees are, to the extent required by applicable law, funded or reserved to the extent failure
to do so (or, with the expiry of a grace period, the giving of notice, the making of any determination under the Loan Documents or any combination of any of the foregoing taking into account all remedies of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents)
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(i) the fair value of the assets of each Loan Party, at a fair valuation, will exceed its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (ii) the present fair saleable value of the property of each Loan Party will be greater
than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of its debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (iii) each Loan Party will be able
to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become due, absolute and matured; and the Luxembourg Borrower is neither in a situation of illiquidity (cessation de paiements) nor has

 - 104 - 








 
obligations of the Borrowers accrued hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the
Borrowers. Upon the occurrence and the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and each Collateral Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, exercise any rights and remedies provided to such Administrative
Agent or Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the UCC. 
 ARTICLE
VIII 
 The Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent and Collateral Agents 
 Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent and each
Collateral Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent and each Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as
are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 
 Any bank serving as the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent or a Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and
may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent or a Collateral Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, invest in and generally engage in any kind of
business with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent or a Collateral Agent hereunder. 
 Neither the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent nor either Collateral Agent shall have any duties or obligations except
those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent nor either Collateral Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other
implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent nor either Collateral Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise
any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders
as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent nor either Collateral Agent shall
have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as the Administrative Agent, the European
Administrative Agent or either Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent nor either Collateral Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with
the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Neither the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent nor either Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower
Representative or a Lender, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Collateral Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any
Loan Document,

  

 - 105 - 








 
(ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants,
agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information (whether oral or written) set forth or in connection with any Loan Document, (v) the legality, validity,
enforceability, effectiveness, adequacy or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (vi) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or
(vii) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent or any
Collateral Agent. 
 The Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent and each Collateral Agent shall each be
entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, (i) any representation, notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing or communication believed by it to be genuine, correct
and to have been authorized, signed or sent by the proper Person, (ii) any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made or authorized by the proper Person or (iii) any statement made by a director, authorized
signatory or employee of any Person regarding any matters which may reasonably be assumed to be within his or her knowledge or within his or her power to verify. The Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent and each Collateral Agent
may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel,
accountants or experts. 
 The Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent and each Collateral Agent may perform any
and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent or each Collateral Agent, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent, the
European Administrative Agent and each Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs
shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent and each Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the
syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as The Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent and each Collateral Agent, as the case may be. 
 Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent, European Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the
case may be, as provided in this paragraph, of the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent and each Collateral Agent, may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower Representative. Upon any such
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor (which shall, in the case of the European Collateral Agent only, be an Affiliate acting through an office in the United Kingdom). If
no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing
Banks, appoint its successor in such capacity, which shall be a commercial bank or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank or a Lender (and in the case of the European Collateral Agent only, be an Affiliate acting through an office in the United
Kingdom). Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent, European Administrative Agent or a Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges,
obligations and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, European Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent, European Administrative Agent or

  

 - 106 - 








 
Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and any further obligations hereunder. The retiring Administrative Agent, European Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall, at its own
cost, make available to the successor Administrative Agent, European Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent any documents and records and provide any assistance which the successor Administrative Agent, European Administrative Agent or Collateral
Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as Administrative Agent, European Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent,
European Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s, European Administrative Agent’s or
Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken
or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent, European Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent. 
 Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent, either Collateral Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent, either
Collateral Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 Each Lender hereby agrees that (a) it
has been provided access to each Report prepared by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent; (b) neither the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent nor either Collateral Agent (i) makes any representation or warranty,
express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (ii) shall be liable for any information contained in any
Report; (c) the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’
books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and that neither the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent nor either Collateral Agent undertakes any obligation to update, correct or supplement
the Reports; (d) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, and it will not share the Report with any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 9.12 of this Agreement; and (e) without
limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent, each Collateral Agent and any such
other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might
obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender (except as permitted pursuant to Section 9.12 of this Agreement). 
 The US Collateral Agent shall act as the secured party, on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, with respect to all Collateral of each Loan Party that is organized in any
jurisdiction, other than any Participating Member State, and the European Collateral Agent shall act as the secured party, on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, with respect to all Collateral of a Loan Party that
is organized in any Participating Member State. 
  

 - 107 - 








 Each Lender, each Issuing Bank, the US Collateral Agent, the European Administrative Agent
and the Administrative Agent appoints the European Collateral Agent to act as security trustee under and in connection with the UK Security Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth on Schedule 8. 
 The Syndication Agent and Documentation Agents shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this
Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such.

opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient. 
 (b) Notices and other communications to the

 SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising
any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of
any rights or remedies that they

  

 - 109 - 








 
would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter
of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified
except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in
writing entered into by the Administrative Agent, the applicable Collateral Agent (to the extent it is a party to such Loan Document) and each Loan Party that is a party thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such
agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive
any interest or fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iii) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of
any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment or increase the advance rates set forth in the definition of US
Borrowing Base, UK Borrowing Base or Dutch Borrowing Base, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (d) in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, without
the written consent of each Lender, (v) modify eligibility criteria, as such eligibility criteria are in effect on the Effective Date (including adding new categories of eligible assets or reserves), in any manner that has the effect of
weakening or eliminating any applicable eligibility criteria or increasing the amounts available to be borrowed hereunder without the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders, (vi) change the definition of “Dilution Reserve” or
“Rent Reserve” without the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders, (vii) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Supermajority Lenders” or any other provision
of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each
Lender, (viii) release any Loan Guarantor from its obligation under its Loan Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender, or (ix) except as provided in
paragraph (c) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect
the rights or duties of any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of such Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent may also amend the
Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.04. 
 (c) The Lenders hereby
irrevocably authorize each Collateral Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Liens granted to either Collateral Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the all Commitments, payment and
satisfaction in full in cash of all Secured Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations), and the cash collateralization of all Unliquidated Obligations in a manner reasonably satisfactory to each affected Lender, (ii) constituting
property being sold or disposed of if the Loan Party disposing of such property certifies to the applicable Collateral Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and each Collateral Agent may rely
conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) constituting property leased to a Loan Party under a lease which has

  

 - 110 - 








 
expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement or (iv) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of
remedies by a Collateral Agent or the Lenders pursuant to Article VII, or (v) if such Liens were granted by any Loan Party with respect to which 100% of its Equity Interests have been sold in a transaction permitted pursuant to
Section 6.05. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, neither Collateral Agent will release any Liens on Collateral without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the
Administrative Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Loan Guarantor from its obligation under its Loan Guaranty if 100% of the Equity Interests of such Loan Guarantor have been sold in a transaction permitted pursuant to
Section 6.05. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the
Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. 
 (d) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other
necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrowers may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party
to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the
Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such
date and to comply with the requirements of paragraph (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) the Borrowers shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts
then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrowers hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, and (2) an amount,
if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.16 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

 SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent, each Collateral Agent, each Bookrunner and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the
Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent, each Collateral Agent and each Bookrunner (limited, in the absence of an actual conflict of interest, to one counsel and one third party appraiser and/or field examiner in each relevant
jurisdiction), as the case may be, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and
administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent, any Bookrunner, any
Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan
Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such
Loans or Letters of Credit. Expenses being reimbursed by the Borrowers under this Section include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, costs and expenses incurred in connection with: 
 (i) appraisals and insurance reviews; 
  

 - 111 - 








 (ii) field examinations and the preparation of Reports based on the fees
charged by a third party retained by the Administrative Agent or either Collateral Agent or the internally allocated fees for each Person employed by the Administrative Agent or either Collateral Agent with respect to each field examination,
together with the reasonable fees and expenses associated with collateral monitoring services performed by the Specialized Due Diligence Group of the Administrative Agent (and the Borrowers agree to modify or adjust the computation of the Borrowing
Base—which may include maintaining additional Reserves, modifying the advance rates or modifying the eligibility criteria for the components of the Borrowing Base—to the extent required by the Administrative Agent as a result of any such
evaluation, appraisal or monitoring); 
 (iii) background checks regarding senior management and/or key
investors, as deemed necessary or appropriate in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent; 
 (iv) taxes,
fees and other charges for (A) lien and title searches and title insurance and (B) recording the Collateral Documents, filing financing statements and continuations, and other actions to perfect, protect, and continue the Liens of each
Collateral Agent; 
 (v) sums paid or incurred to take any action required of any Loan Party under the Loan
Documents that such Loan Party fails to pay or take; and 
 (vi) forwarding loan proceeds, collecting checks and
other items of payment, and establishing and maintaining the accounts and lock boxes, and costs and expenses of preserving and protecting the Collateral. 
 All of the foregoing costs and expenses may be charged when due to the Borrowers as Revolving Loans or to another deposit account, all as described in Section 2.18(c). 
 (b) The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Agents, the Issuing Banks and each Lender, and each Related
Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including the
fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or
instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the
use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of
Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Borrower or any of
their Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party
thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. 
  

 - 112 - 








 (c) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be
paid by it to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, penalty,
liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. 
 (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any
Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 (e)
All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor. 
 SECTION
9.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any
Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or
transfer by the Borrowers without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or
implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the
extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason
of this Agreement. 
 (b) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (c)(ii) below, any Lender may assign
to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld) of: 
 (i) the Borrower Representative, provided that no consent of the Borrower Representative
shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and 
 (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent or the
Issuing Banks shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund. 
  

 - 113 - 








 (c) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

 (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire
remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to
such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower
Representative shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (ii) in order to
comply with the Dutch Act on the Financial Supervision (Wet op het financieel toezicht), the amount transferred under this Section 9.04(c)(ii) shall include an outstanding portion of at least €50,000 (or its equivalent in other
currencies) per Lender or such other amount as may be required from time to time by the Dutch Act on the Financial Supervision (or implementing legislation) or if less, the new Lender shall confirm in writing to the Borrowers that it is a
professional market party within the meaning of the Dutch Act on the Financial Supervision; 
 (iii) each partial
assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; 
 (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 to be paid by the assignee
or the assignor; and 
 (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more Credit Contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Company, the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or
their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including federal, provincial, territorial and state securities laws.

 For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following
meaning: 
 “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in
making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an
Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. 
 (d) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof
pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections
2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (g) of this Section. 
  

 - 114 - 








 (e) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC
Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, each Collateral Agent, the Issuing
Banks 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 Borrowers, the Issuing Banks and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (f) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall
already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (c)(iii) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept
such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.05, 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have
been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 
 (g) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender, sell
participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it);
provided that (A) such 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) the
Borrowers, the Agents, the Issuing Banks 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 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to
paragraph (g)(ii) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the
principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent
manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. 
  

 - 115 - 








 (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment
under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower
Representative’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrower Representative is notified of the participation sold to such
Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.17(g) as though it were a Lender. 
 (h) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge
or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender
from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 (i) In case of assignment, transfer or novation by the assigning Lender of all or any part of its rights and obligations under any of the Loan Documents, the assigning Lender and its assignee shall agree that, for the purposes of Article
1278 of the Luxembourg Civil Code (to the extent applicable), the Liens created under the Loan Documents, securing the rights assigned, transferred or novated thereby, will be preserved for the benefit of the assignee. 
 SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan
Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may
have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee
or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding (unless the same has been cash collateralized in accordance with Section 2.06(j) hereof) and so long as the Commitments have not
expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the
expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 
 SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of
which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties
relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it
shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of
this Agreement. 
  

 - 116 - 








 SECTION 9.07 Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. 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 the Borrowers or any Loan Guarantor against any and all of the Secured Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such
obligations may be unmatured. The applicable Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent of such set-off or application, provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect
the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. 
 SECTION 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) The Loan Documents (other than those
containing a contrary express choice of law provision) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, but giving effect to federal laws applicable to national banks. 
 (b) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of any US Federal or New York State court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the
parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent, either Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (c) Each Loan Party
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 
  

 - 117 - 








 (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process
in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 
 SECTION 9.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND
(B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 
 SECTION 9.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of
reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information
may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of
the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by Requirement of Laws 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 any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights
hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Loan Parties and their obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower Representative
or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis
from a source other than the Borrowers. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers relating to the Borrowers or their business, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrowers 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. 
 EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12 FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATES AND
THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES,

  

 - 118 - 








 
AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE
PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL, PROVINCIAL, TERRITORIAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS. 
 ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWERS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN
MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS
ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL, PROVINCIAL, TERRITORIAL AND STATE
SECURITIES LAWS. 
 SECTION 9.13 Several Obligations; Nonreliance; Violation of Law. The respective
obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. Each Lender hereby
represents that it is not relying on or looking to any margin stock for the repayment of the Borrowings provided for herein. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, neither any Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall be
obligated to extend credit to the Borrowers in violation of any Requirement of Law. 
 SECTION 9.14 USA PATRIOT
Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of such 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 such Act.

 SECTION 9.15 Disclosure. Each Loan Party and each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that the
Administrative Agent and/or its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other relationships with any of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates. 
 SECTION 9.16 Appointment for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent for the purpose of
perfecting Liens (in each case for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks) in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable law can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than
either Collateral Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such Collateral to the applicable Collateral Agent or
otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the instructions of the applicable Collateral Agent. 
 SECTION
9.17 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan
under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in
accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable

  

 - 119 - 








 
in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have
been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the
Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. 
 SECTION 9.18 Waiver of Immunity. To the extent that any Borrower has, or hereafter may be entitled to claim or may
acquire, for itself, any Collateral or other assets of the Loan Parties, any immunity (whether sovereign or otherwise) from suit, jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment,
attachment in aid of execution or otherwise) with respect to itself, any Collateral or any other assets of the Loan Parties, such Borrower hereby waives such immunity in respect of its obligations hereunder and under any promissory notes evidencing
the Loans hereunder and any other Loan Document to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section 9.18 shall be effective
to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (as amended, and together with any successor legislation) and are, and are intended to be, irrevocable for purposes thereof. 
 SECTION 9.19 Currency of Payment. Each payment owing by any Borrower hereunder shall be made in the relevant currency
specified herein or, if not specified herein, specified in any other Loan Document executed by the Administrative Agent, the US Collateral Agent or the European Collateral Agent (the “Currency of Payment”) at the place specified
herein (such requirements are of the essence of this Agreement). If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in a Currency of Payment into another currency, the parties hereto agree that the
rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase such Currency of Payment with such other currency at the Spot Selling Rate on the Business Day preceding that on which
final judgment is given. The obligations in respect of any sum due hereunder to any Lender or any Issuing Bank shall, notwithstanding any adjudication expressed in a currency other than the Currency of Payment, be discharged only to the extent that,
on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or Issuing Bank of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or Issuing Bank may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase the Currency of Payment with such
other currency. Each Borrower agrees that (a) if the amount of the Currency of Payment so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or Issuing Bank in the Currency of Payment, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding the
result of any such adjudication, such Borrower shall immediately pay the shortfall (in the Currency of Payment) to such Lender or Issuing Bank and (b) if the amount of the Currency of Payment so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to such
Lender or Issuing Bank, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly pay the excess over to such Borrower in the currency and to the extent actually received. 
 SECTION 9.20 Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any other Loan Document, the terms of this Agreement shall, to the extent of
such conflict, prevail. 
 SECTION 9.21 Parallel Debt. To grant the security pursuant to any Dutch Security
Agreement to the European Collateral Agent, each European Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes (and to the extent necessary undertakes in advance (bij voorbaat)) to pay to the European Collateral Agent amounts equal to any
amounts owing from time to time by a European Loan Party to any Guaranteed Party under any Loan Document as and when those amounts are due. 
  

 - 120 - 








 Each European Loan Party and the Administrative Agent and the Guaranteed Parties acknowledge
that the obligations of each Loan Party under this Section 9.21 are several and are separate and independent (eigen zelfstandige verplichtingen) from, and shall not in any way limit or affect, the corresponding obligations of that Loan
Party to any Guaranteed Party under any Loan Document (its “Corresponding Debt”) nor shall the amounts for which each Loan Party is liable under Section 9.21 (its “Parallel Debt”) be limited or affected in any
way by its Corresponding Debt provided that: 
 (a) the Parallel Debt of each Loan Party shall be decreased to
the extent that its Corresponding Debt has been irrevocably paid or (in the case of guarantee obligations) discharged; and 
 (b) the Corresponding Debt of each Loan Party shall be decreased to the extent that its Parallel Debt has been irrevocably paid or (in the case of guarantee obligations) discharged; and 
 (c) the amount of the Parallel Debt of each Loan Party shall at all times be equal to the amount of its Corresponding Debt.

 (a) For the purpose of this Section 9.21, the European Collateral Agent acts in its own name and on
behalf of itself and not as agent, representative or trustee of any Guaranteed Party, and its claims in respect of each Parallel Debt shall not be held on trust. 
 (b) The Liens granted under the Dutch Security Agreements to the European Collateral Agent to secure each Parallel Debt is
granted to the European Collateral Agent in its capacity as sole creditor of each Parallel Debt. 
 (c) All
monies received or recovered by the European Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 9.21, and all amounts received or recovered by the European Collateral Agent from or by the enforcement of any Lien granted to secure each Parallel Debt,
shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.18(b). 
 (d) Without limiting or affecting the European
Collateral Agent ‘s rights against the Loan Parties (whether under this Section 9.21 or under any other provision of the Loan Documents), each Loan Party acknowledges that: 
 (a) nothing in this Section 9.21 shall impose any obligation on the European Collateral Agent to advance any sum to any
Loan Party or otherwise under any Loan Document, except in its capacity as Guaranteed Party; and 
 (b) for the
purpose of any vote taken under any Loan Document, the European Collateral Agent shall not be regarded as having any participation or commitment other than those which it has in its capacity as a Guaranteed Party. 
 For the avoidance of doubt: 
 (a) the Parallel Debt of each Loan Party will become due and payable (opeisbaar) at the same time its Corresponding Debt becomes due and payable; and 
  

 - 121 - 








 (b) a Loan Party may not repay or prepay its Parallel Debt unless directed
to do so by the European Collateral Agent or the Lien pursuant to a Dutch Security Agreement is enforced by the European Collateral Agent. 
 SECTION 9.22 Applicability of Luxembourg Borrower Provisions. Until such time as the actions described in Section 5.16(b) shall have been completed, none of the provisions of Sections
3.02(e), 3.10(e), 3.13(a)(iii), 5.07, 7(i)(v), 7(i)(vi) and 7(q) relating to the Luxembourg Borrower shall be effective. 
 ARTICLE X 
 Loan Guaranty 
 SECTION 10.01 Guaranty. (a) Each Loan Guarantor and any of its successors or assigns (other than those that have delivered a separate Loan Guaranty) hereby agrees that it is jointly and
severally liable for, and, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, to the extent permissible under the laws of the country in which such Loan Guarantor is located or organized, to the Lenders, the
Agents and the Issuing Banks (collectively, the “Guaranteed Parties”) the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations and all costs and
expenses including, without limitation, all court costs and attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees (including allocated costs of in-house counsel and paralegals) and expenses paid or incurred by the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders in
endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Secured Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, any Borrower, any other Loan Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Secured Obligations (such costs and expenses,
together with the Secured Obligations, collectively the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Loan Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent
from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. All terms of this Loan Guaranty apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of any Lender that
extended any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, in no event shall the Guarantee Obligations of any European Loan Party include the Obligations of the US Loan Parties. 
 If any payment by a Loan Guarantor or any discharge given by a Guaranteed Party (whether in respect of the obligations of any Loan Guarantor
or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is avoided or reduced as a result of insolvency or any similar event: (a) the liability of each Loan Guarantor shall continue as if the payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not
occurred; and (b) each Guaranteed Party shall be entitled to recover the value or amount of that security or payment from each Loan Guarantor, as if the payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not occurred. 
 The obligations of each Loan Guarantor under this Article X will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this
Article X, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Article X (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Guaranteed Party) including: (a) any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with,
any Loan Guarantor or other person; (b) the release of any other Loan Guarantor or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any member of the European Group; (c) the taking, variation,
compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any Loan Guarantor or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other
requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security; (d) any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of an Loan Guarantor or
any other person; (e) any amendment, novation, supplement, extension (whether of

  

 - 122 - 








 
maturity or otherwise) or restatement (in each case, however fundamental and of whatsoever nature) or replacement of a Loan Document or any other document or security; (f) any
unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any Loan Document or any other document or security; or (g) any insolvency or similar proceedings. 
 Without prejudice to the generality of the above, each Loan Guarantor expressly confirms, as permissible under applicable law, that it
intends that this guarantee shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Loan Documents and/or any amount made available under any of the Loan Documents for the purposes
of or in connection with any of the following: acquisitions of any nature; increasing working capital; enabling investor distributions to be made; carrying out restructurings; refinancing existing facilities; refinancing any other indebtedness;
making facilities available to new borrowers; any other variation or extension of the purposes for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing.

 Each Loan Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Guaranteed Party (or any trustee or agent on its
behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from that Loan Guarantor under this Article X. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Loan Document to the
contrary. 
 This guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other guarantee or security now or
subsequently held by any Guaranteed Party. 
 This guarantee does not apply to any liability to the extent that it would result
in this guarantee constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of Section 151 of the UK Companies Act 1985, or section 60 of the Irish Companies Act 1963, or any equivalent and applicable provisions under the laws of the
jurisdiction of incorporation of the relevant Loan Guarantor. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
the Credit Agreement, the aggregate obligations and liabilities of any entity incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (a “Luxembourg Guarantor”) with respect to the repayment under a joint and several liability
clause of any borrowing, costs or expenses, and the granting of any guarantee, indemnity or security under this Agreement: 
 (i) shall not include any payment which, if made, would either constitute a misuse of corporate assets as defined under article 171-1 of the LSC or amount to prohibited financial assistance as provided in
article 49-6 of the LSC; and 
 (ii) shall be limited to the aggregate of: 
 (A) any sums borrowed by such Luxembourg Guarantor or any obligation or liability of such Luxembourg Guarantor’s direct
or indirect subsidiaries incurred under the Credit Agreement; and 
 (B) ninety-five percent (95%) of the
net assets of such Luxembourg Guarantor, where the net assets means the shareholder’s equity (capitaux propres, as referred to in article 34 of the Luxembourg law of December 19, 2002 on the commercial register and annual accounts)
of such Luxembourg Guarantor as (i) shown in the latest financial statements (comptes annuels) available at the date of the relevant payment hereunder and approved by the shareholders of such Luxembourg Guarantor or (ii) existing as
of the Closing Date.

 SECTION 10.02 Guaranty of Payment. This Loan Guaranty is a guaranty of
payment and not of collection. Each Loan Guarantor waives any right to require any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to sue any Borrower, any other Loan Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any other Person obligated for all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations (each, an “Obligated Party”), or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 As an original and independent obligation under this Loan Guaranty, each Loan Guarantor shall: 
 (a) indemnify each Guaranteed Party and its successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns and keep the Guaranteed Parties
indemnified against all costs, losses, expenses and liabilities of whatever kind resulting from the failure by the Loan Parties or any of them, to make due and punctual payment of any of the Secured Obligations or resulting from any of the Secured
Obligations being or becoming void, voidable, unenforceable or ineffective against any Loan Party (including, but without limitation, all legal and other costs, charges and expenses incurred by each Guaranteed Party, or any of them, in connection
with preserving or enforcing, or attempting to preserve or enforce, its rights under this Loan Guaranty); and 
 (b) pay on demand the amount of such costs, losses, expenses and liabilities whether or not any of the Guaranteed Parties has attempted to enforce any rights against any Loan Party or any other Person or otherwise. 
 SECTION 10.03 No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty. (a) Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations
of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including:
(i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or
ownership of any Borrower or any other guarantor of or other person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated
Party, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Loan Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, any
Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions. 
 (b) The obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or
unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof. 
 (c) Further, the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by:
(i) the failure of any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any
provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of any Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any
obligations of any other guarantor of

  

 - 124 - 








 
or other person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part
of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any
extent vary the risk of such Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations). 
 SECTION 10.04 Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor hereby waives any
defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any other Loan Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower or
any other Loan Guarantor, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest
and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any person against any Obligated Party, or any other person. Each Collateral Agent may, at its
election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part
of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or
impairing in any way the liability of such Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor
waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan Guarantor against any
Obligated Party or any security. 
 SECTION 10.05 Rights of Subrogation. No Loan Guarantor will assert any
right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Obligated Party, or any collateral, until the Loan Parties and the Loan Guarantors have fully performed
all their obligations to the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders. 
 SECTION 10.06 Reinstatement; Stay of
Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, each Loan
Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders are in possession of this
Loan Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any
agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Loan Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Lender. 
 SECTION 10.07 Information. Each Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrowers’ financial condition and assets, and of all other
circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Loan Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that neither any Agent, any Issuing Bank
nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise any Loan Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks. 
  

 - 125 - 








 SECTION 10.08 Termination. The Lenders may continue to make loans or
extend credit to the Borrowers based on this Loan Guaranty until five days after it receives written notice of termination from any Loan Guarantor. Notwithstanding receipt of any such notice, each Loan Guarantor will continue to be liable to the
Lenders for any Guaranteed Obligations created, assumed or committed to prior to the fifth day after receipt of the notice, and all subsequent renewals, extensions, modifications and amendments with respect to, or substitutions for, all or any part
of that Guaranteed Obligations. 
 SECTION 10.09 Taxes. (a) All payments of the Guaranteed Obligations
will be made by each Loan Guarantor free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for any Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Loan Guarantor shall be required to withhold or deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then
(i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required withholdings or deductions (including withholdings or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agents, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholdings or deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Guarantor shall make such withholdings or deductions,
(iii) such Loan Guarantor shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) such Loan Guarantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a
certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, and a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 10.10 Luxembourg Registration Duties. The Luxembourg Borrower shall not be required to pay or indemnify any
Lender or the Agents for any registration duties (droits d’enregistrements) pertaining to the registration of a Loan Document if such registration is not required to preserve the rights of any such Lender or Agent. 
 SECTION 10.11 Maximum Liability. The provisions of this Loan Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding
involving any corporate law, or any provincial, state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty would
otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Loan Guarantor’s liability under this Loan Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty to
the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Loan Guarantors or the Lenders, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding
(such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Loan Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”. This Section with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the
Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Loan Guarantor nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary
so that the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Loan Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Loan
Guarantor without impairing this Loan Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Lenders hereunder, provided that, nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its
Maximum Liability. 
 SECTION 10.12 Contribution. In the event any Loan Guarantor (a “Paying
Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guaranty, each other Loan Guarantor
(each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable Percentage” of such payment or payments made, or

  

 - 126 - 








 
losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Article X, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable Percentage” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying
Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or
obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from the Borrowers after the date hereof
(whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Loan Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to
make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Loan Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Loan Guarantors from the Borrowers after the date hereof (whether by
loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Loan Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Loan Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Loan
Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. This
provision is for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agents, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders and the Loan Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof. 
 SECTION 10.13 Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Loan Party as a Loan Guarantor under this Article X is in
addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Loan Party to the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or
liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary. 
 ARTICLE XI 
 The
Borrower Representative 
 SECTION 11.01 Appointment; Nature of Relationship. The Company is hereby
appointed by each of the Borrowers as its contractual representative (herein referred to as the “Borrower Representative”) hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Borrowers irrevocably authorizes the Borrower
Representative to act as the contractual representative of such Borrower with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. The Borrower Representative agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the
express conditions contained in this Article XI. Additionally, each Borrower hereby appoints, to the extent the Borrower Representative requests any Loan on behalf of such Borrower, the Borrower Representative as its agent to receive all of the
proceeds of such Loan in the Funding Account(s), at which time the Borrower Representative shall promptly disburse such Loan to such Borrower. Neither the Agents, the Lenders nor the Issuing Banks and their respective officers, directors, agents or
employees, shall not be liable to the Borrower Representative or any Borrower for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Borrower Representative or the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 11.01. 
 SECTION 11.02 Powers. The Borrower Representative shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are
specifically delegated to the Borrower Representative by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Borrower Representative shall have no implied duties to the Borrowers, or any obligation to the
Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Borrower Representative. 
  

 - 127 - 








 SECTION 11.03 Employment of Agents. The Borrower Representative may
execute any of its duties as the Borrower Representative hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through authorized officers. 
 SECTION 11.04 Notices. Each Borrower shall immediately notify the Borrower Representative of the occurrence of any Default hereunder, each such notice to refer to this Agreement
describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Borrower Representative receives such a notice, the Borrower Representative shall give prompt notice thereof to the Administrative Agent,
the Collateral Agents and the Lenders. Any notice provided to the Borrower Representative hereunder shall constitute notice to each Borrower on the date received by the Borrower Representative. 
 SECTION 11.05 Successor Borrower Representative. Upon the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower
Representative may resign at any time, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Borrower Representative acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt written notice of such resignation
to the Lenders. 
 SECTION 11.06 Execution of Loan Documents; Borrowing Base Certificate. The Borrowers
hereby empower and authorize the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers, to execute and deliver to the Agents and the Lenders the Loan Documents and all related agreements, certificates, documents, or instruments as shall be necessary
or appropriate to effect the purposes of the Loan Documents, including without limitation, the any Borrowing Base Certificate and any certificates required pursuant to Article V. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken by the Borrower
Representative or the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Borrower Representative of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are
reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Borrowers. 
 SECTION 11.07 Reporting. Each
Borrower hereby agrees that such Borrower shall furnish promptly after each fiscal month to the Borrower Representative a copy of its Borrowing Base Certificate and any other certificate or report required hereunder or requested by the Borrower
Representative on which the Borrower Representative shall rely to prepare the Aggregate Borrowing Base Certificate and the Borrowing Base Certificate of each Borrower and Compliance Certificates required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

 SCHEDULE 1.01(b) 
 Foreign Reorganization 
 One or more series of transactions among one or more
Loan Parties and/or their Subsidiaries, involving a contribution, sale, exchange, transfer, or distribution in whole or in part, of an interest of a European Loan Party or Subsidiary in exchange for an additional equity interest, consideration
evidenced by an intercompany note, other consideration, or any combination thereof, and which transactions may involve the issuance and/or repayment and/or capitalization of the intercompany notes, with or without any compensation for any such sale,
exchange or transfer, which ultimately results in one or more European Loan Parties (other than the Company) and/or their Subsidiaries being owned, directly or indirectly, by another European Loan Party or Subsidiary. 







 SCHEDULE 1.01(c) 
 MANDATORY COST FORMULA 
 1. The Mandatory
Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or
any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank. 
 2. On the first day of each
Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the European Administrative Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The
Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the European Administrative Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be
expressed as a percentage rate per annum. 
 3. The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility
Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the European Administrative Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the European Administrative Agent to be its reasonable
determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that
Facility Office. 
 4. The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United
Kingdom will be calculated by the European Administrative Agent as follows: 
 (a) in relation to
a Loan denominated in Sterling: 

 

 

 (b) in relation to a Loan in any currency other than Sterling: 

 

 

 Where: 
 A. is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which
that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements. 
 B. is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Spread and the Mandatory Cost and, if the Loan is an Unpaid Sum, the additional rate of interest specified in
Section 2.10(c) of the Credit Agreement) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan. 







 C. is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which
that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England. 
 D. is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the European Administrative Agent (or such other bank as may be designated by the European Administrative Agent in consultation with
the Borrower Representative) on interest bearing Special Deposits. 
 E. is designed to
compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the European Administrative Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the European Administrative Agent pursuant
to paragraph 7 below and expressed in Sterling per £1.0 million. 
 5. For the purposes of this Schedule:

 (a) “Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the
meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England; 
 (b) “Facility Office” means the office or offices notified by a Lender to the European Administrative Agent in writing on or before the date it becomes a Lender (or,
following that date, by not less than five Business Days’ written notice) as the office or offices through which it will perform its obligations under this Agreement; 
 (c) “Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or
such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits; 
 (d) “Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the
Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); 
 (e) “Reference
Banks” means, in relation to each of the Eurodollar Base Rate and the Eurodollar Rate and Mandatory Cost, the principal office in London, England of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch, or such other bank or banks as may be designated
by the European Administrative Agent in consultation with Borrower Representative; 
 (f)
“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules; and 
 (g) “Unpaid Sum” means any sum due and payable but unpaid by any Loan Party under the Loan Documents. 
 6. In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5 per cent. will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A
negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places. 
 7. If requested by the European Administrative Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the European Administrative Agent,
the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as
being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in Sterling per £1.0 million of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank. 







 8. Each Lender shall supply any information required by the European
Administrative Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender: 
 (c) the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and 
 (d) any other information that the European Administrative Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.

 Each Lender shall promptly notify the European Administrative Agent of any change to the
information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph. 
 9. The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A
and C above and the rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the European Administrative Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that,
unless a Lender notifies the European Administrative Agent to the contrary, each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a
Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office. 
 10. The European Administrative Agent shall
have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs
3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects. 
 11. The European Administrative Agent shall distribute
the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8
above. 
 12. Any determination by the European Administrative Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a
formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties to this Agreement. 
 The European Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with Borrower Representative and the Lenders, determine and notify to all parties to this Agreement any
amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule 1.01(c) in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central
Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties to this Agreement.

 SCHEDULE 3.06 
 DISCLOSED MATTERS 
 Litigation 
 The Company is involved in litigation arising in the normal course of its business. While, from time to time, claims are asserted that make
demands for a large sum of money (including, from time to time, actions which are asserted to be maintainable as class action suits), the Company does not believe that any of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, will materially
affect its financial position or the results of its operations. 
 The Company continues to cooperate with the staff of the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in their formal order of investigation issued in January 2008 covering the matters previously subject to the informal review that commenced July 2007. A formal order of investigation
allows the SEC to subpoena witnesses, books, records, and other relevant documents. The matters subject to the investigation include contacts and communications with financial analysts, inventory receipt and reserves, timing of vendor payments,
certain intercompany loans, certain payments to foreign officials, inventory obsolescence and timing and recognition of vendor program funds. 
 In early November 2007, two putative class action lawsuits were filed against the Company and certain of its executive officers alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In addition, two
putative shareholder derivative actions were filed against the Company and its directors alleging various state law claims including breach of fiduciary duty. The allegations in all four lawsuits primarily relate to the accounting for vendor program
funds. Each of the above-referenced lawsuits were filed in the Southern District of Florida, and are captioned as follows: (1) Nichols v. Office Depot, Inc., Steve Odland and Patricia McKay filed on November 6, 2007; (2) Sheet Metal
Worker Local 28 Pension Fund v. Office Depot, Inc., Steve Odland and Patricia McKay filed on November 5, 2007; (3) Marin, derivatively, on behalf of Office Depot, Inc. v. Office Depot, Inc., Steve Odland, Neil R. Austrian, David W.
Bernauer, Abelardo E. Bru, Marsha J. Evans, David I. Fuente, Brenda J. Gaines, Myra M. Hart, Kathleen Mason, Michael J. Myers, and Office Depot, Inc. filed on November 8, 2007; and (4) Mason, derivatively, on behalf of Office Depot, Inc.
v. Steve Odland, Neil R. Austrian, David W. Bernauer, Abelardo E. Bru, Marsha J. Evans, David I. Fuente, Brenda J. Gaines, Myra M. Hart, Kathleen Mason, Michael J. Myers, and Office Depot, Inc. filed on November 8, 2007. 
 On March 21, 2008, the court in the Southern District of Florida entered an Order consolidating the class action lawsuits and an Order
consolidating the derivative actions. Lead plaintiff in the consolidated class actions, the New Mexico Educational Retirement Board, filed its Consolidated Amended Complaint on July 2, 2008. The response is due on or before September 2,
2008. These lawsuits are in their early stages and the Company does not currently believe that they will have a material adverse impact on the Company or its results of operations. 
 Environmental Matters 
 None. 







 Government Contracts 
 One of the Company’s largest clients currently consists of a cooperative representing various state and local governments for whom the Company provides office supplies and services either through a
cooperative contract arrangement or through individual contracts. The Company’s sales under these arrangements to multiple customers were less than 5% of its consolidated sales during the six months ended June 28, 2008. These relationships
are subject to uncertain future funding levels and federal and state procurement laws and require restrictive contract terms; any of these factors could curtail current or future business. Contracting with state and local governments is highly
competitive and can be expensive and time-consuming, often requiring that the Company incur significant upfront time and expense without any assurance that it will win a contract. The Company’s ability to compete successfully for and retain
business with these various state and local governments is highly dependent on cost-effective performance. The Company’s government business is also sensitive to changes in national and international priorities and U.S., state and local
government budgets. Currently, the Company provides office supplies and services to approximately 20 states and numerous local agencies in the United States. Many of these government contracts have provisions that permit the state or local
government agency to terminate the contract for convenience with appropriate notice. In addition, in the ordinary course of business, these government contracts may be subject to audits and review by state and local governmental authorities and
regulatory agencies. There has been recent negative press regarding some of the Company’s government contracts. State and local governments may elect not to renew their contracts and submit them for rebid and may seek to exclude the company
from participating in bids. The Company has conducted or is in the process of conducting its own review of numerous government contracts in an effort to verify contract compliance and pricing accuracy and is participating or seeking to participate
in bidding for applicable contracts. Nevertheless, additional negative press or allegations of performance issues, even if unfounded, could lead state or local governments to terminate or not renew their contracts with the Company or refuse to allow
the Company to participate in bids all of which could have a negative impact on the Company’s business.

 In addition, in this Schedule: 
 “Administrator”
means any administrator appointed to manage the affairs, business and assets of any Loan Party under the Collateral Documents. 
 “Facility Office” means the office or offices notified by a Lender to the Administrative Agent in writing on or before the date it becomes a Lender (or, following that date, by not less
than five Business Days’ written notice) as the office or offices through which it will perform its obligations under the Credit Agreement; 
 “Finance Party” means, individually and collectively, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each Agent. 
 “Losses” means losses (including loss of profit), claims, demands, actions, proceedings, damages and other payments, costs, expenses and other liabilities of any

	2.	 Security Trustee Provisions 


  

	2.1	 Role of the European Collateral Agent 


 The European Collateral Agent shall not be subject to the duty of care imposed on trustees by the Trustee Act 2000. 
  

	2.2	 No fiduciary duties 


 The European Collateral Agent shall not be bound to account to any other Finance Party for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by it for its own account. 








	2.3	 Discretions of the European Collateral Agent 


  

	 	(a)	 The European Collateral Agent may assume that: 


  

	 	(i)	 no Default has occurred (unless it has actual knowledge of a Default arising under Article VII of the Credit Agreement); and



  

	 	(ii)	 any right vested in any other Finance Party has not been exercised. 


  

	 	(b)	 Notwithstanding that the European Collateral Agent and one or more of the other Finance Parties may from time to time be the same entity, that
entity has entered into the Loan Documents in those separate capacities. However, where the Loan Documents provide for the European Collateral Agent and the other Finance Parties to provide instructions to or otherwise communicate with one or more
of the others of them, then for so long as they are the same entity it will not be necessary for there to be any formal instructions or other communication, notwithstanding that the Loan Documents provide in certain cases for the same to be in
writing. 


  

	2.4	 Required Lenders instructions 


  

	 	(a)	 Unless a contrary indication appears in a Loan Document: 


  

	 	(i)	 the European Collateral Agent shall act in accordance with any instructions given to it by the Required Lenders (or, if so instructed by the
Required Lenders or in the absence of an instruction from them, refrain from acting or exercising any power, authority, discretion or other right vested in it as European Collateral Agent); and 


  

	 	(ii)	 any instructions given by the Required Lenders will be binding on all the Lenders. 


  

	 	(b)	 The European Collateral Agent may refrain: 


  

	 	(i)	 from acting (in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or, if appropriate, the Lenders) or otherwise) until it has received such
security and/or indemnity as it may require for any Losses (including any associated irrevocable VAT) which it may incur in complying with the instructions; and 


  

	 	(ii)	 from doing anything which may in its opinion be a breach of any law or duty of confidentiality or be otherwise actionable at the suit of any person.



  

	 	(c)	 In the absence of instructions from the Required Lenders (or, if appropriate, the Lenders), the European Collateral Agent may act (or refrain from
taking action) as it considers to be in the best interest of the Required Lenders. 


  

	 	(d)	 The European Collateral Agent is not authorised to act on behalf of a Lender (without first obtaining that Lender’s consent) in any legal or
arbitration proceedings relating to any Loan Document. 










	2.5	 Exclusion of liability 


  

	 	(a)	 The European Collateral Agent will not be liable for any delay (or any related consequences) in crediting an account with an amount required under
the Loan Documents to be paid by the European Collateral Agent if the European Collateral Agent has taken all necessary steps as soon as reasonably practicable to comply with the regulations or operating procedures of any recognised clearing or
settlement system used by the European Collateral Agent for that purpose. 


  

	 	(b)	 The European Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to insure any of the Collateral or any certificate, note, bond or other evidence in
respect of any of them or to require any other person to maintain that insurance and shall not be responsible for any Losses which may be suffered as a result of the lack or inadequacy of that insurance. 


  

	 	(c)	 The European Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for any Losses occasioned to the Collateral, however caused, by any Obligor or any other
person by any act or omission on the part of any person (including any bank, broker, depository, warehouseman or other intermediary or any clearing system or the operator of it), or otherwise, unless those Losses are occasioned by the European
Collateral Agent’s own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. In particular the European Collateral Agent shall be not responsible for any Losses which may be suffered as a result of any assets comprised in the Collateral, or any deeds or
documents of title to them, being uninsured or inadequately insured or being held by it or by or to the order of any custodian or by clearing organisations or their operators or by any person on behalf of the European Collateral Agent.



  

	 	(d)	 The European Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility to any Obligor as regards any deficiency which might arise because such Obligor is
subject to any tax in respect of the Collateral or any income or any proceeds from or of them. 


  

	 	(e)	 The European Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any failure, omission or defect in giving notice of, registering or filing, or procuring
registration or filing of, or otherwise protecting or perfecting, the security constituted over the Collateral. 


  

	2.6	 Lenders’ Indemnity to the European Collateral Agent 


  

	 	(a)	 The European Collateral Agent may, in priority to any payment to the Lenders, indemnify itself out of the Collateral in respect of, and pay and
retain, all sums necessary to give effect to this indemnity and to all other indemnities given to it in the other Loan Documents in its capacity as European Collateral Agent. The European Collateral Agent shall have a Lien on the security
constituted over the Collateral and the proceeds of enforcement of any Collateral Documents for all such sums. 


  

	2.7	 Additional European Collateral Agent 


 The European Collateral Agent may at any time appoint (and subsequently remove) any person to act as a separate security trustee or as a co-trustee jointly with it (any such person,
an “Additional European Collateral Agent”): 
  

	 	(a)	 if it is necessary in performing its duties and if the European Collateral Agent considers that appointment to be in the interest of the Finance
Parties; or 










	 	(b)	 for the purposes of complying with or confirming to any legal requirements, restrictions or conditions which the European Collateral Agent deems to
be relevant; or 


  

	 	(c)	 for the purposes of obtaining or enforcing any judgment or decree in any jurisdiction, 


 and the European Collateral Agent will give notice to the other Parties of any such appointment. 
  

	2.8	 Confidentiality 


  

	 	(a)	 In acting as security trustee for the Finance Parties, the European Collateral Agent shall be regarded as acting through its syndication or agency
division which shall be treated as a separate entity from any other of its divisions or departments. 


  

	 	(b)	 If information is received by another division or department of the European Collateral Agent, it may be treated as confidential to that division or
department and the European Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have notice of it. 


  

	 	(c)	 Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document to the contrary, the European Collateral Agent is not obliged to disclose to any other
person: 


  

	 	(i)	any confidential information; or 

  

	 	(ii)	 any other information if the disclosure would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of any law or a breach of a fiduciary duty.



  

	2.9	 Relationship with the Lenders 


 The European Collateral Agent may treat each Lender as a Lender, entitled to payments under the Collateral Documents and acting through its Facility Office unless it has received not less than five
Business Days’ prior notice from that Lender to the contrary in accordance with the terms of relevant Collateral Document. 
  

	2.10	 Credit Appraisal by the Lenders 


 Without affecting the responsibility of each Obligor for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Loan Document, each Lender confirms to the European
Collateral Agent that it has been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with any Loan Document, including: 
  

	 	(a)	 the financial condition, status and nature of each Obligor; 


  

	 	(b)	 the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Loan Document and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered
into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Loan Document; 


  

	 	(c)	 whether that Lender has recourse, and the nature and extent of that recourse, against any party or any of its respective assets under or in
connection with any Loan Document, the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or other document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Loan Document; and











	 	(d)	 the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information provided by the European Collateral Agent, any other party or any other person under
or in connection with any Loan Document, the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or other document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Loan Document.



  

	2.11	 Security Documents 


  

	 	(a)	 The European Collateral Agent shall accept without investigation, requisition or objection whatever title any person may have to the assets which
are subject to the Collateral Documents and shall not: 


  

	 	(i)	 be bound or concerned to examine or enquire into the title of any person; or 


  

	 	(ii)	 be liable for any defect or failure in the title of any person, whether that defect or failure was known to the European Collateral Agent or might
have been discovered upon examination or enquiry and whether it is capable of remedy or not. 


  

	 	(b)	 Upon the appointment of any successor European Collateral Agent under Article VIII of the Credit Agreement, the resigning European Collateral Agent
shall execute and deliver any documents and do any other acts and things which may be necessary to vest in the successor European Collateral Agent all the rights vested in the resigning European Collateral Agent under the Collateral Documents.



  

	 	(c)	 Each of the other Finance Parties: 


  

	 	(i)	 authorises the European Collateral Agent to hold each mortgage or charge created pursuant to any Loan Document in its sole name as security trustee
for the Finance Parties; and 


  

	 	(ii)	 requests the Land Registry to register the European Collateral Agent as the sole proprietor of any mortgage or charge so created.



  

	2.12	 Distribution of proceeds of enforcement 


  

	 	(a)	 To the extent that the Collateral Documents provide for the net proceeds of any enforcement to be applied against the Secured Obligations, the
European Collateral Agent shall pay them to the European Administrative Agent and the European Administrative Agent shall apply them in payment of any amounts due but unpaid under the Loan Documents, if applicable in the order set out in
Section 2.19(b) of the Credit Agreement. This shall override any appropriation made by any Obligor. 


  

	 	(b)	 The European Collateral Agent may, at its discretion, accumulate proceeds of enforcement in an interest bearing account in its own name.



  

	2.13	 No obligation to remain in possession 


 If the European Collateral Agent, any Receiver or any delegate takes possession of all or any of the Collateral, it may from time to time in its absolute discretion relinquish such
possession. 








	2.14	 European Collateral Agent’s obligation to account 


 The European Collateral Agent shall not in any circumstances (either by reason of taking possession of the Collateral or for
any other reason and whether as mortgagee in possession or on any other basis): 
  

	 	(a)	 be liable to account to any Obligor or any other person for anything except the European Collateral Agent’s own actual receipts which have not
been distributed or paid to that Obligor or the persons entitled or at the time of payment believed by the European Collateral Agent to be entitled to them; or 


  

	 	(b)	 be liable to any Obligor or any other person for any principal, interest or Losses from or connected with any realisation by the European Collateral
Agent of the Collateral or from any act, default, omission or misconduct of the European Collateral Agent, its officers, employees or agents in relation to the Collateral or from any exercise or non-exercise by the European Collateral Agent of any
right exercisable by it under the European Security Agreements unless they shall be caused by the European Collateral Agent’s own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. 


  

	2.15	 Receiver’s and delegate’s obligation to account 


 All the provisions of Clause 2.14 (above) of the UK Debenture shall apply in respect of the liability of any Receiver or Administrator or delegate in all respects as though every
reference in Clause 2.14 (above) to the European Collateral Agent were instead a reference to the Receiver or, as the case may be, Administrator or delegate.
