WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have agreed to make, and have made, certain loans and other extensions of credit to the
Borrowers; 
 WHEREAS, the Borrowers have requested a one-year extension of the Maturity Date of the Commitments under the Credit Agreement
and that certain provisions of the Credit Agreement be amended as set forth herein; and 
 WHEREAS, the Lenders are willing to agree to such
amendment on the terms set forth herein; 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein, the
undersigned hereby agree as follows: 
 I. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement or Exhibit A hereto, as applicable. 
 II. Amendments to the Credit
Agreement. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete the (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: stricken text) and to add the double-underlined text (indicated textually in the same manner as
the following example: double-underlined text) as set forth in the pages of the Credit Agreement attached as Exhibit A hereto. 

III. Extension of Maturity Date. Each Extending Lender hereby extends the maturity date of all of its Commitment to the Extended
Maturity Date. The maturity date applicable to each other Lender (in each case, a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall be the Non-Extended Maturity Date and the Extending Lenders understand and agree that the Revolving Loans of each
Non-Extending Lender shall, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement, become due and payable, together with all interest and fees related thereto, and may be paid, on the Non-Extended Maturity Date. 







 IV. Allocation and Repayment of Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans and
Protective Advances. 
 (i) From the Fourth Amendment Effective Date until the Non-Extended Maturity Date, all Revolving Loans shall be
made and participations in any new Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans or Protective Advances shall be allocated in accordance with the aggregate Commitments (including both the Extended Commitments and the Non-Extended Commitments thereunder from
time to time in effect). 
 (ii) On the Non-Extended Maturity Date, all outstanding Swingline Loans shall be settled in accordance with
Section 2.05(c) of the Credit Agreement. 
 (iii) On the Non-Extended Maturity Date, the Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender shall
be terminated in accordance with its terms and the Revolving Loans outstanding thereunder, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and fees owing to such Non-Extending Lender, shall be due and payable in full. 

(iv) On the Non-Extended Maturity Date, the participations in the outstanding Letters of Credit of the Non-Extending Lenders shall be
reallocated to the Extending Lenders ratably in accordance with their Extended Commitments but in any case, only to the extent (A) the sum of the outstanding Revolving Exposure of all Extending Lenders before giving effect to such reallocation
plus their respective participations in the outstanding Letters of Credit of the Non-Extending Lenders does not exceed the lesser of (x) the total Commitments of all Extending Lenders and (y) the Aggregate Borrowing Base, (B) the sum
of the outstanding Facility A Revolving Exposure of all Extending Lenders before giving effect to such reallocation plus their respective participations in the outstanding Facility A Letters of Credit of the Non-Extending Lenders does not exceed the
lesser of (x) the total Facility A Commitments of all Extending Lenders and (y) the US Borrowing Base and (C) the sum of the outstanding Facility B Revolving Exposure of all Extending Lenders before giving effect to such reallocation
plus their respective participations in the outstanding Facility B Letters of Credit of the Non-Extending Lenders does not exceed the lesser of (x) the total Facility B Commitments of all Extending Lenders and (y) the Aggregate Borrowing
Base minus the Facility A Revolving Exposure. 
 (v) On the Non-Extended Maturity Date, the participations in the outstanding
Protective Advances of the Non-Extending Lenders shall be reallocated to the Extending Lenders ratably in accordance with their Extended Commitments but in any case, only to the extent (A) the sum of the outstanding Revolving Exposure of all
Extending Lenders before giving effect to such reallocation plus their respective participations in the outstanding Protective Advances of the Non-Extending Lenders does not exceed (when taken together with the reallocation in clause
(iv) above) the total Commitments of all Extending Lenders, (B) the sum of the outstanding Facility A Revolving Exposure and the Facility A Protective Advances of all Extending Lenders before giving effect to such reallocation plus their
respective participations in the outstanding Facility A Protective Advances of the Non-Extending Lenders does not exceed (when taken together with the reallocation in clause (iv) above) the total Facility A Commitments of all Extending Lenders
and (C) the sum of the outstanding Facility B Revolving Exposure and the Facility B Protective Advances of all Extending Lenders before giving effect to such reallocation plus their respective participations in the outstanding Facility B
Protective Advances of the Non-Extending Lenders does not exceed (when taken together with the reallocation in clause (iv) above) the total Facility B Commitments of all Extending Lenders. 

(vi) Reallocations shall be made first, for the outstanding Letters of Credit and second, for the outstanding Protective
Advances. If the reallocations described in clauses (iv) and (v) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected as a result of the limitations set forth therein, the Borrowers shall, on the Non-Extended Maturity Date, to the extent of
such deficiency, cash collateralize such Non-Extending Lender’s participations in the outstanding Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (iv) above) and repay the outstanding Protective
Advances (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (v) above) (it being understood that after such cash collateralization and repayment, respectively, such Non-Extending Lender shall no longer be a participant in such
Letters of Credit or Protective Advances). 

  
 2 








 V. Replacement Lenders. The Lenders party hereto and the Administrative Agent agree that
the Borrowers shall have the right on or before the Non-Extended Maturity Date to replace, in whole or in part (but if in part, in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower Representative and the
Administrative Agent otherwise consent) (other than in the case of the replacement of all of a Non-Extending Lender’s interest under the Credit Agreement), the Commitment of any Non-Extending Lender with increases in the outstanding Commitments
of one or more Extending Lenders or with new Commitments of one or more other lenders or financial institutions or other entities that will become “Lenders” (each, a “Replacement Lender”), subject (in the case of the
replacement of Commitments of any Non-Extending Lenders) to the payment at par of all amounts, including principal and accrued interest and fees, owing to such Non-Extending Lender with respect to the portion of the Commitments being replaced under
the Credit Agreement. Each Replacement Lender shall (i) be subject to the consent of the applicable Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (such consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (ii) have entered into an
Assignment and Assumption or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Borrowers and the Administrative Agent pursuant to which such Replacement Lender shall assume all or part of the outstanding Commitment of such Non-Extending
Lender or shall agree to have a new or additional Commitment under which Loans may be borrowed only from the date of any reduction in or termination of the Commitment of such Non-Extending Lender; provided that after giving effect to any such
replacement, the aggregate amount of the outstanding Commitments under the Credit Agreement shall not exceed the total Commitments. For the avoidance of doubt, after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date and on or before the Non-Extended Maturity
Date, any Non-Extending Lender that has not been replaced may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and with the consent of the applicable Borrowers, extend all its Commitment, converting such Lender (as to the portion so extended) into
an Extending Lender. 
 VI. Effectiveness of Amendment. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date (the “Amendment
Effective Date”) upon which the following conditions are satisfied: 
 (i) receipt by the Administrative Agent of duly executed
counterparts to this Amendment from the Borrowers, the Collateral Agents, the Required Lenders and each Extending Lender; and 
 (ii)
receipt by the Administrative Agent of payment of any fees required to be paid to the Lenders or any agents or arrangers in connection with this Amendment and payment or reimbursement of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this
Amendment required to be paid or reimbursed pursuant to the Credit Agreement, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent. 

VII. Representations and Warranties. The Borrowers hereby represent and warrant that (a) each of the representations and
warranties in the Credit Agreement shall be, after giving effect to this Amendment, true and correct in all material respects as if made on and as of the Amendment Effective Date (unless such representations and warranties are stated to relate to a
specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date) and (b) after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing. 
 VIII. No Other Amendments; Confirmation. Except as expressly amended hereby, the provisions of the
Credit Agreement, as amended and restated, are and shall remain in full force and effect. Each Loan Party certifies that (i) all of its obligations and liabilities under each of the Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party remain in
full force and effect on a continuous basis after giving effect 

  
 3 








 
to the Amendment and (ii) all of the Liens and security interests created and arising under each of the Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party remain in full force and effect on
a continuous basis, and the perfected status and priority of each such Lien and security interest continues in full force and effect on a continuous basis, unimpaired, uninterrupted and undischarged, after giving effect to the Amendment, as
collateral security for its obligations, liabilities and Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and under its Loan Guaranty, as applicable; provided that with respect to any Dutch Loan Party and any Luxembourg Loan Party, such
acknowledgement and confirmation shall be solely with respect to its Loan Guaranty. 
 IX. Governing Law. This Amendment and the
rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. 

X. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto on any number of separate counterparts, and all of
said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. This Amendment may be delivered by facsimile transmission of the relevant signature pages hereof.

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 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, 

  
 - 65 - 








 
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 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 

  
 - 66 - 








 
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. 

(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 and fees 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 

  
 - 67 - 








 
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. 
 (k) On the Third Amendment 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 Third Amendment Effective Date, (ii) each such Existing Letter of Credit shall be included in the calculation of LC Exposure and
“Facility A LC Exposure” or “Facility B LC Exposure”, as applicable 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 

  
 - 68 - 








 
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”. 

  
 - 69 - 








 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 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 

  
 - 70 - 








 
$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 Facility A 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
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. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, after an Event of Default, funds credited to any applicable Collection Account shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.18(b)(ii). 

(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. 

  
 - 71 - 








 (d) [Reserved]. 

(e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) 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). 

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 (c) 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 Facility A 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. 

  
 - 72 - 








 (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 Restatement 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 Restatement 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 Restatement 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 Restatement 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 within three Business Days of the end 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. 

  
 - 73 - 








 (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. 

(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; 

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 Credit Party 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; 

  
 - 75 - 








 (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 or such other Credit Party 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
other Credit Party 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 other Credit Party hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the
Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such other Credit Party, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such other Credit Party, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction
suffered. 
 (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) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements
and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III and
(ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall, in each case, be deemed to be a Change in Law, regardless of the date
enacted, adopted or issued. 
 (d) 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. 

(e) 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 

  
 - 76 - 








 
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. 

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 

  
 - 77 - 








 (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. 

  
 - 78 - 








 (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 Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes, only to the extent that the Loan Parties have not already indemnified the
Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) 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 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) Any 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 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 Lender is not legally entitled to do so, and shall not be required (other than with respect to such documentation set forth
in Sections 2.17(h)(i) through (v) below) if in the Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense (or, in the case of a Change in Law, any incremental
material unreimbursed cost or expense) or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 
 Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is a US Borrower, any 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 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) in the case of a Lender that is a United States person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of
the Code, duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt, 

  
 - 79 - 








 (ii) in the case of a Foreign Lender, 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, 

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender, duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, 

(iv) 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 (A) such Foreign Lender is not (I) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (II) a “10 percent
shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (III) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (B) 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, 

(v) 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 
 (vi) 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. 
 If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if
such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or
times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation
reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to
determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of the preceding sentence, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 

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. 

(i) Without limiting the generality of Section 2.17(h), in the event that any Borrower is a UK Borrower, a Lender which becomes a party
to this Agreement and which holds a passport under 

  
 - 80 - 








 
the HM Revenue & Customs DT Treaty Passport scheme and wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement (where permitted by applicable law) shall notify the Loan Parties to that effect by
including its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in the Commitment Schedule or, where applicable, in the form of Assignment and Assumption executed and delivered by that Lender. Following such notification, each UK
Borrower shall file a duly completed form DTTP2 in respect of such Lender with HM Revenue & Customs within thirty (30) days of the date of such notification and shall promptly provide the Lender, the Administrative Agent and the
European Administrative Agent with a copy of that filing. If a Lender has not notified its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence pursuant to this Section 2.17(i), no UK Borrower (or any other Loan Party) shall file
any form relating to the HM Revenue & Customs DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender’s Commitment(s) or its participation in any Borrowing. Nothing in this Section 2.17(i) shall require a Lender to
(a) register under the HM Revenue & Customs DT Treaty Passport scheme, (b) to apply the HM Revenue & Customs DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of any Borrowing if it has so registered or (c) to file Treaty forms
(notwithstanding Section 2.17(h)) if it has notified its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with this Section 2.17(i) and the relevant UK Borrower has not complied with its obligations under this
Section 2.17(i). 
 (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


  
 - 81 - 








 
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. 
 (n) Solely for purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the effective date of the Fourth
Amendment, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Agreement (together with any loans or other extensions of credit pursuant thereto) as not qualifying as a
“grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i). 
 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

pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 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 

  
 - 82 - 








 
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) ratably, 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) ratably, 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 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 the ratable payment of any
amounts owing with respect to Banking Services and Swap Obligations that are Secured Obligations, ninth, to the ratable payment of any other Secured Obligation due to the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent, either

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, (i) any application of proceeds from the Collateral of the European Loan Parties shall be made (x) solely in respect of Obligations of the European Loan

(A) first in respect of Obligations of the US Loan Parties under each Facility, in the order and priority set forth in clauses first through seventh above, ratably in accordance with the then outstanding amounts thereof,

 (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 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); provided, further, that to the extent prohibited by applicable law as described in the definition of “Excluded Swap Obligation”, no amounts received from, or set off with respect to,
any Loan Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Loan Guarantor. 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 

  
 - 84 - 








 
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 Defaulting Lender (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 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 

  
 - 85 - 








 
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. 
 SECTION 2.21 Defaulting Lenders.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the Available Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a); 

(b) the Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining consent to any waiver,
amendment or modification pursuant to Section 9.02; provided, that no such amendment, modification or waiver shall (i) increase the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender without the consent of such Defaulting Lender, (ii) reduce or
forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement of such Defaulting Lender or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, without the written consent of such
Defaulting Lender or (iii) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement of such Defaulting Lender, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder to such
Defaulting Lender, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment to such Defaulting Lender, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment without the written consent of such Defaulting Lender;

 (c) if any Swingline Exposure, LC Exposure or Protective Advance Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender then: 
 (i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure, LC Exposure and Protective Advance Exposure of such
Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting
Lender’s Swingline Exposure, LC Exposure and Protective Advance Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments; 

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall
within five Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Protective Advance Exposure, (y) second, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (z) third, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing
Bank only the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (in each case after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 2.06(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding; 

  
 - 86 - 








 (iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting
Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period
such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized; 
 (iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is
reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and Section 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and 

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant
to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC
Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and 

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank
shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is reasonably satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the
non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.21(c), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be
allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). 

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event
shall continue or (ii) the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline
Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into
arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender, reasonably satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder. 

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank each
agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied (in their reasonable judgment) all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure, LC Exposure and Protective Advance Exposure of the Lenders shall be
readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary
in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. 
 SECTION 2.22 Additional or Increased
Commitments. (a) Any Borrower may, at any time and from time to time on or after the Third Amendment Effective Date, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, elect to request additional or increased Commitments hereunder, in an
aggregate amount not in excess of $250,000,000. Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which such Borrower proposes that the additional or increased Commitments shall be 

  
 - 87 - 








 
effective, which shall be a date not less than three Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to Administrative Agent; provided, that any Lender offered or approached
to provide all or a portion of any increased Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide the same. Such additional or increased Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided, that
(1) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such additional or increased Commitments and to the making of any Revolving Loans in respect of any additional or increased
Commitments pursuant thereto; (2) any such additional or increased Commitments and the extensions of credit thereunder shall be ratable with the existing Commitments and extensions of credit thereunder; (3) the terms (other than the
pricing) applicable to the additional or increased Commitments shall be the same as those applicable to the existing Commitments (it being understood that the Maturity Date shall be the same as the Maturity Date for the Extended Commitments),
provided that if the all-in yield (whether in the form of interest rate margins, upfront fees or any Adjusted LIBO Rate or Alternate Base Rate floor, with any such upfront fees being equated to interest margin) applicable to such additional
or increased Commitments exceeds by more than 0.50% the corresponding all-in yield for the existing Commitments, the interest rate margin with respect to the existing Commitments shall be increased by an amount equal to the difference between the
all-in yield with respect the additional and increased Commitments and the corresponding all-in yield on the existing Commitments minus 0.50%; (4) any New Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, such approval not to
be unreasonably withheld; (5) such additional or increased Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more supplements to this Agreement executed and delivered by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and one or more New Lenders or
existing Lenders; and (6) the Borrowers shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction, including any supplements or
amendments to the Collateral Documents providing for such additional or increased Commitments and the extensions of credit thereunder to be secured thereby. 

(b) On any Increased Amount Date on which any additional or increased Commitments become effective, subject to the foregoing terms and
conditions, each new lender with an additional Commitment (each, a “New Lender”) shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such additional Commitment and each Lender with an increased Commitment shall have its Commitment
adjusted accordingly. 
 (c) Each supplement to this Agreement effected in accordance with Section 2.22(a) may, without the consent of
any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to implement the provisions of this Section 2.22 (including to establish
transition provisions to provide for any additional or increased Commitments to share ratably in the extensions of credit under the Commitments).

jurisdictions where each Loan Party is organized or any Collateral is located. 
 (c) Subject to applicable Insolvency Laws, no European
Loan Party nor any of its property or assets has any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) under
the laws of the jurisdiction in which such European Loan Party is organized in respect of its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it or its property or assets is subject. 

(d) The Loan Documents to which each European Loan Party is a party are in proper legal form under the laws of the jurisdiction in which each
such European Loan Party is organized or incorporated and existing (i) for the enforcement thereof against each such European Loan Party under the laws of each such jurisdiction and (ii) in order to ensure the legality, validity,

party that any such Loan Documents be filed, registered or recorded with, or executed or notarized before, any court or other authority in the jurisdiction in which any such European Loan Party is organized or that any registration charge or stamp
or similar tax be paid on or in respect of the applicable Loan Documents or any other document, except for any such filing, registration, recording, execution or notarization that is referred to in Section 3.16 or is not required to be made
until enforcement of the applicable Loan Document. 
 (e) All legal requirements of the Luxembourg law of May 31, 1999, as amended,

Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, (c) will not violate or result in a default under

any material indenture, material agreement or other material instrument binding upon any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any
payment to be made by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents.

 SECTION 3.04 Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The Company has heretofore furnished to the Lenders
its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows (reported on a monthly basis) (i) as of and for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2010, reported on by Deloitte & Touche LLP, a
registered public accounting firm, and (ii) as of and for the fiscal quarter and the portion of the fiscal year ended March 26, 2011, certified by its chief financial officer. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to year end audit adjustments and the absence of
footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii) above. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.06 and except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its consolidated subsidiaries has any
material Guarantee obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including any
interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph. 

(b) Except for the Disclosed Matters, no event, change or condition has occurred that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a
Material Adverse Effect, since December 25, 2010. 
 SECTION 3.05 Properties. (a) Each of the Loan Parties and its
Subsidiaries has good and indefeasible title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its real and personal property, free of all Liens other than Permitted Liens, except where failure would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. 
 (b) Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all material Intellectual Property that is necessary to its
business as currently conducted and the use thereof by the Loan Parties and its Subsidiaries does not infringe in any material respect upon the rights of any other Person. 

SECTION 3.06 Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator
or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened against or affecting the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and
that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve this Agreement or the Transactions. 

(b) Except for the Disclosed Matters (i) no Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries has received notice of any claim with respect to any
material Environmental Liability or knows of any basis for any material Environmental Liability and (ii) except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect, no Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries (1) has failed to comply with any applicable Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law or
(2) has become subject to any Environmental Liability. 
 (c) Since the Restatement Date, there has been no change in the status of the
Disclosed Matters that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or materially increased the likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 - 90 - 








 SECTION 3.07 Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each Loan Party and its
Subsidiaries is in compliance with all Requirements of Law applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate,
could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.08 Investment Company Status. No Loan
Party nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940 and shall not register as, conduct its business or take any action which shall cause it to be
registered for the purposes of the European Communities (Markets in Financial Instruments) Regulations 2007. 
 SECTION
3.09 Taxes. Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except Taxes that
are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Loan Party or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves. No tax liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted with respect to
any such taxes. As of the Restatement Date, no Taxes are imposed, by withholdings or otherwise, on any payment to be made by any European Borrower under any Loan Document, or are imposed on, or by virtue of, the execution or delivery by any European
Borrower of any Loan Document. As of the Restatement Date, no European Borrower is required to make any deduction for or on account of Tax from any payment it may make under any Loan Document. Each Borrower is resident for Tax purposes only in the
jurisdiction of its establishment or incorporation as the case may be. 
 SECTION 3.10 ERISA; Benefit Plans. (a) Except for
Disclosed Matters, no ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party and ERISA Affiliate is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other federal, state or local laws relating to the Plans, and with all regulations and published interpretations
thereunder, except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except for Disclosed Matters, the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan that is subject to Title IV or Section 302 of
ERISA or Section 412 or 4971 of the Code (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the
fair market value of the assets of such Plan. 
 (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. 
 (c) The UK Pension Scheme is either fully funded based on the statutory funding objective of Section 222
of the UK Pensions Act 2004 or has in place a recovery plan that satisfies the requirements of Section 226 of the UK Pensions Act 2004. 

  
 - 91 - 








 (d) Except as, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, (i) all employer and employee contributions (including insurance premiums) required by applicable law or by the terms of any Foreign Benefit Arrangement or Foreign Plan (including any policy held thereunder) have been made, or, if
applicable, accrued in accordance with normal accounting practices; (ii) other than in relation to the UK Pension Scheme, the accrued benefit obligations of each Foreign Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Foreign Plan) with
respect to all current and former participants do not exceed the assets of such Foreign Plan; (iii) each Foreign Plan that is required to be registered has been registered and has been maintained in good standing with applicable regulatory
authorities; and (iv) each such Foreign Benefit Arrangement and Foreign Plan is in compliance (A) with all material provisions of applicable law and all material applicable regulations and regulatory requirements (whether discretionary or
otherwise) and published interpretations thereunder with respect to such Foreign Benefit Arrangement or Foreign Plan and (B) with the terms of such plan or arrangement. 

(e) No supplementary pension scheme pursuant to the Supplementary Pension Act has been, or will be, set up within the Luxembourg Borrower
until the reimbursement of the Loans. The Luxembourg Borrower warrants that it has complied, and will comply, at all times with its obligation under the statutory provisions of the CAS. 

(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

 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. 

  
 - 124 - 








 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, (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 

  
 - 125 - 








 
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 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) as of the Restatement Date, it has been provided access to each Report prepared by or on behalf of the
Administrative Agent; (b) neither the 

  
 - 126 - 








 
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. 

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.

 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 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 2.10(b) or Section 2.18(b) or (d) in a manner that would alter the manner in which
payments are shared or the relative priorities of such payments, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) modify eligibility criteria, as such eligibility criteria are in effect on the Restatement Date (including adding new
categories of eligible assets or reserves), in any 

  
 - 129 - 








 
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

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, (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 or
(x) subordinate the Obligations to any other Indebtedness or the Liens securing the Obligations to any other Liens 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. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Company only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any other Loan Document to (i) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency or (ii) provide for a materiality standard
relating to delivery or notice requirements in any Security Agreement (other than the US Security Agreement), so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or the Lenders shall have
received, at least five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating
that the Required Lenders object to such amendment. 
 (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 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 or in Section 9.02(b), 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 (A) 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 and (B) release the Irish Borrower from its obligation under its Loan Guaranty if the Irish Borrower is being dissolved in a transaction permitted pursuant to
Section 6.03(a)(ix). 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 (other than Obligations paid by the Borrowers in accordance with clause
(ii) below) 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; 

(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 

  
 - 131 - 








 
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. 
 (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. 

  
 - 132 - 








 (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 provided, further, that the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have consented
to any such assignment unless the Borrower Representative shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof; 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; provided further that no consent of any Issuing Bank (other than JPMCB) shall be required if such Issuing Bank does not have outstanding
Letters of Credit issued by it with an aggregate face value in excess of $1,000,000. 
 For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the
term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:

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. 

  
 - 133 - 








 (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. 

(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. 

  
 - 134 - 








 (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
shall 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)(iv) 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. 

(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 

  
 - 135 - 








 
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. 

  
 - 136 - 








 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; provided that no amounts set off with respect to any Loan Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Loan Guarantor. 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.

 (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

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, 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. 

  
 - 138 - 








 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 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


  
 - 139 - 








 
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. 

  
 - 140 - 








 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 

(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 [Reserved]. 

  
 - 141 - 








 SECTION 9.23 Removal of Borrowers; Actions to Release Collateral. (a) Any
European Borrower shall be removed as a Borrower (each, a “Removed Borrower”) upon delivery by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent of a written notification to such effect, repayment in full of all Loans made to such Borrower,
cash collateralization of all Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower and repayment in full of all other amounts owing by such Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (it being agreed
that any such repayment shall be in accordance with the other terms of this Agreement); provided that both immediately before and immediately after giving pro forma effect thereto, (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing and (ii) no Level 4 Minimum Aggregate Availability Period shall be in effect, provided that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the Irish Borrower so long as the Irish Borrower has no material assets or operations.

 (b) Upon any removal pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 9.23, (i) the applicable Removed Borrower shall be released
from its obligations with respect to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than its obligations under its Loan Guaranty which shall not be released except in accordance with clause (viii) of the proviso in Section 9.02(b) or,
with respect to the Irish Borrower, in accordance with Section 9.02(c)), (ii) all Liens granted to any Collateral Agent on the Collateral of the applicable Removed Borrower shall be automatically released and (iii) such Removed
Borrower shall no longer constitute a “Dutch Borrower”, “UK Borrower”, “Irish Borrower” or “Luxembourg Borrower”, as applicable, a “European Borrower” or a “Borrower” for purposes of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, but shall continue to constitute a “Loan Guarantor” for purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents until released from its obligations under its Loan Guaranty in accordance with clause
(viii) of the proviso in Section 9.02(b). 
 (c) In connection with any removal pursuant to paragraph (a) of this
Section 9.23 and notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the Administrative Agent or the applicable Collateral Agent, upon receipt of any certificates or other documents reasonably requested
by it to confirm compliance with this Agreement, shall promptly execute and deliver to such Borrower, at such Borrower’s expense, all documents that such Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence release of such Borrower from its
obligations with respect to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Removed Borrower shall be permitted to be released from its obligation under its Loan Guaranty except in accordance with clause
(viii) of the proviso in Section 9.02(b). 
 (d) At such time as any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 6.01(i)
(including any Indebtedness incurred prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date pursuant to Section 6.01(i) (as in effect prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date)) shall have been repaid in full and the holders thereof shall have released
the Liens securing the obligations thereunder in accordance with the terms of such Indebtedness, any Liens created by the Loan Documents as a consequence of the issuance of such Indebtedness shall be automatically released. 

(e) In connection with any release of Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.23 or any other release of Collateral in connection with any
sale or disposition of Collateral permitted under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent or the applicable Collateral Agent, upon receipt of any certificates or other documents reasonably requested by it to confirm compliance with this Agreement,
shall promptly execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such release. 

SECTION 9.24 Specified Tax Restructuring Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement
(including Article V or VI) or any other Loan Document, each Specified Tax Restructuring Transaction shall, to the extent not otherwise permitted under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, be permitted.

 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 (excluding with respect to any Loan Guarantor, any Excluded Swap
Obligations of such Loan Guarantor) 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 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. 

  
 - 143 - 








 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 678 of the UK Companies Act 2006, 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. 

  
 - 144 - 








 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 (excluding, with respect to any Loan
Guarantor, any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Loan Guarantor) 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 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). 

  
 - 145 - 








 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. 

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. 

  
 - 146 - 








 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 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, 

  
 - 147 - 








 
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. 

SECTION 10.14 Effective Agreement. On the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and
restated in its entirety by this Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether executed and delivered in connection herewith or otherwise, do not constitute a novation, payment
and reborrowing, or termination of the “Obligations” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement as in effect prior to the Fourth Amendment Effective Date and (ii) such “Obligations” are
in all respects continuing (as amended and restated hereby) with only the terms thereof being modified as provided in this Agreement. 

SECTION 10.15 Keepwell. Each Qualified Keepwell Provider hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably
undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this guarantee in respect of any Swap Obligation (provided, however, that each Qualified Keepwell
Provider shall only be liable under this Section 10.15 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 10.15, or otherwise under this guarantee, voidable under
applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified Keepwell Provider under this Section 10.15 shall remain in full force and effect until the payment
in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and the release of such Qualified Keepwell Provider from its obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement. Each Qualified Keepwell Provider intends that this
Section 10.15 constitute, and this Section 10.15 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity
Exchange Act.

 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. 

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.

 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: 

  

							
			AB + C (B – D) + E x 0.01		per cent.per annum		
			100 - (A + C)		

  

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

  

							
			E x 0.01		per cent.per annum		
			300		

 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.

 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.

	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.

	 	(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)
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.
