be made on the Effective Date are ABR Borrowings and Canadian Base Rate Borrowings, which may be converted into Eurocurrency or CDOR Borrowings, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.08. Each Swingline Loan made to the Company shall be
denominated in U.S. Dollars and shall be an ABR Loan. Each Swingline Loan made to the U.K. Borrower, the German Borrowers or the Dutch Borrower shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars, Sterling or Euro and shall be an Overnight LIBO Rate Borrowing.

branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan (and in the case of an Affiliate, the provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 shall apply to such Affiliate to the same extent as to such Lender); provided that any exercise
of such option shall not affect the obligation of the relevant Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Borrowing or CDOR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate
amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or, if such Borrowing is denominated in a Foreign Currency, 1,000,000 units of such currency) and not less than $5,000,000 (or, if such Borrowing is denominated in a Foreign Currency, 5,000,000
units of such currency). Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that, there shall not be more than a total of ten (10) Eurocurrency Borrowings and CDOR Borrowings collectively outstanding
at any time. 

  
 62 








 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be entitled to
request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date. 

SECTION 2.03. Requests for Revolving Borrowings. To request a Revolving Borrowing, the Borrower Representative shall notify the

 SECTION 2.04. Protective Advances. (a) Subject to the limitations set forth below,
the Administrative Agent is authorized by the Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation to), to (a) make Loans (“Domestic Protective
Advances”) to the Company in U.S. Dollars, Sterling or Euro on behalf of the Domestic Tranche Lenders or the Global Tranche Lenders, (b) make Loans (“Canadian Protective Advances”) to the Canadian Borrower in Canadian
Dollars or U.S. Dollars on behalf of the Global Tranche Lenders or (c) make Loans (“Foreign Protective Advances” and, together with the Domestic Protective Advances and the Canadian Protective Advances, the “Protective
Advances”) to the Foreign Borrowers (other than the Canadian Borrower) in U.S. Dollars, Sterling or Euro on behalf of the Global Tranche Lenders, in each case, which the Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or
desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (iii) following a Default, to pay any other
amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as described in Section 9.03) and other sums payable under
the Loan Documents; provided that, (A) the U.S. Dollar Amount of the aggregate amount of Protective Advances outstanding at any time and made on behalf of the Global Tranche Lenders shall not exceed 5% of the aggregate Global
Tranche Commitments of all Global Tranche Lenders at such time, (B) the U.S. Dollar Amount of the aggregate amount of Protective Advances outstanding at any time and made on behalf of the Domestic Tranche Lenders shall not exceed 5% of the
aggregate Domestic Tranche Commitments of all Domestic Tranche Lenders at such time, (C) the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances made on behalf of the Domestic Tranche Lenders plus the aggregate Domestic Tranche Revolving
Exposures of all Domestic Tranche Lenders shall not exceed the aggregate Domestic Tranche Commitments of all Domestic Tranche Lenders and (D) the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances made on behalf of the Global Tranche Lenders
plus the aggregate Global Tranche Revolving Exposures of all Global Tranche Lenders shall not exceed the aggregate Global Tranche Commitments of all Global Tranche Lenders. Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent set
forth in Section 4.02 have not been satisfied. The Protective Advances shall be secured by the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. All Protective Advances made to the
Company or the Canadian Borrower in U.S. Dollars shall be ABR Borrowings, all Protective Advances made to the Company in a Foreign Currency shall be Overnight LIBO Rate Borrowings, all Protective Advances made to the Canadian Borrower in Canadian
Dollars shall be Canadian Base Rate Borrowings and all Protective Advances made to the Foreign Borrowers (other than the Canadian Borrower) shall be Overnight LIBO Rate Borrowings. The Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Protective
Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. At any time that the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 4.02 have been satisfied, the Administrative Agent may request the Revolving Lenders to make a Revolving Loan to repay a Protective Advance. At any other time the Administrative Agent may require the Lenders to fund their risk
participations described in Section 2.04(b). 
 (b) Upon the making of a Protective Advance by the Administrative Agent (whether before
or after the occurrence of a Default), each Domestic Tranche Lender or Global Tranche Lender, as applicable, shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Administrative
Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Protective Advance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any
Protective Advance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the
Administrative Agent in respect of such Protective Advance. 

  
 64 








 SECTION 2.05. Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to (i) make Swingline Loans (“Company Swingline Loans”) in U.S. Dollars to the Company on behalf of the Domestic Tranche Lenders or the Global Tranche Lenders, (ii) make Swingline Loans
(“Foreign Swingline Loans”) in U.S. Dollars, Sterling or Euro to the U.K. Borrower, the German Borrowers or the Dutch Borrower on behalf of the Global Tranche Lenders and (iii) make Swingline Loans (“Canadian Swingline
Loans” and, together with the Company Swingline Loans and the Foreign Swingline Loans, the “Swingline Loans”) in Canadian Dollars or U.S. Dollars to the Canadian Borrower on behalf of the Global Tranche Lenders, in each
case, from time to time during the Availability Period so long as the making of any such Swingline Loan will not result in (i) the U.S. Dollar Amount of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding 20% of the
Aggregate Commitment, (ii) the U.S. Dollar Amount of the aggregate principal amount of the sum of outstanding Company Swingline Loans plus outstanding Canadian Swingline Loans exceeding 10% of the Aggregate Commitment or
(iii) the failure to satisfy the Revolving Exposure Limitations; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the
terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request (x) in the case of Company
Swingline Loans or Canadian Swingline Loans, by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) or (y) in writing, in each case, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice (whether by telephone or
written) shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the Borrower requesting such Swingline Loan, (ii) the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) of such Swingline Loan, (iii) in the case of a Foreign Swingline Loan or a
Canadian Swingline Loan, the requested currency of such Swingline Loan and (iv) the amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower
Representative. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrowers by means of a credit to the Funding Account(s) (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in
Section 2.06(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank, and in the case of repayment of another Loan or fees or expenses as provided by Section 2.18(c), by remittance to the Administrative Agent to be distributed to the Lenders) by
2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. Each Company Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan, each Foreign Swingline Loan shall be an Overnight LIBO Rate Loan and each Canadian Swingline Loan shall be a Canadian Base
Rate Loan (if such Canadian Swingline Loan is denominated in Canadian Dollars) or ABR Loan (if such Canadian Swingline Loan is denominated in U.S. Dollars). In addition, the Company hereby authorizes the Swingline Lender to, and the Swingline Lender
shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (but without any further written notice required), not later than 1:00 p.m., Chicago time, on each Business Day, make available to the Company by means of a credit to the Funding
Account, the proceeds of a Company Swingline Loan to the extent necessary to pay items to be drawn on any Controlled Disbursement Account that Business Day; provided that, if on any Business Day there is insufficient borrowing capacity to
permit the Swingline Lender to make available to the Company a Company Swingline Loan in the amount necessary to pay all items to be so drawn on any such Controlled Disbursement Account on such Business Day, then the Company shall be deemed to have
requested an ABR Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 in the amount of such deficiency to be made on such Business Day. 
 (b) The
Swingline Lender may at any time request settlement (a “Settlement”) by requiring the Lenders to acquire participations in all or a portion of the outstanding Swingline Loans made by it by written notice given to the Administrative
Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time (i) on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”), in the case of Company Swingline Loans or Canadian Swingline Loans and (ii) three (3) Business
Days prior to the Settlement Date, in the case of the Foreign Swingline Loans (or on the Settlement Date, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which
Revolving 

  
 65 








 
Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected
by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each
Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply,
mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrower Representative of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts
received by the Swingline Lender from any Borrower (or other party on behalf of such Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the
Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender,
as their interests may appear; provided that, any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to any Borrower for
any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve any Borrower of any default in the payment thereof. 

SECTION 2.06. Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower
Representative may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any Borrower as the applicant thereof for the support of its or its Subsidiaries’ obligations, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the
Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other
agreement submitted by any Borrower to, or entered into by any Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Each Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that, in
connection with any Letter of Credit issued with such Borrower as applicant for the support of any of its Subsidiary’s obligations as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph, such Borrower will be fully responsible for the
reimbursement of LC Disbursements in accordance with the terms hereof, the payment of interest thereon and the payment of fees due under Section 2.12(b) to the same extent as if it were the sole account party in respect of such Letter of Credit
(such Borrower hereby irrevocably waiving any defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of the obligations of such Subsidiary that is an account party in respect of any such Letter of Credit). The letters of credit
identified on Schedule 2.06 (the “Existing Letters of Credit”) shall be deemed to be “Domestic Tranche Letters of Credit” issued on the Effective Date for all purposes of the Loan Documents. 

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the
amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower Representative shall deliver by hand or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the
Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or 

  
 66 








 
extension, it being understood and agreed that the form of any requested Global Tranche Letters of Credit requested to be issued for the account of a European Loan Party must be in agreed form at
least three (3) Business Days prior to the issuance thereof) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit (which Letter of Credit shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank), or
identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the name of the applicable Borrower, whether such Letter of Credit is to constitute a Domestic Tranche Letter of Credit or Global Tranche Letter of Credit, the date
of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the Agreed Currency
applicable thereto, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower Representative also shall
submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrowers shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) subject to Sections 1.06 and 2.11(b), the U.S. Dollar Amount of
the LC Exposure shall not exceed 10% of the Aggregate Commitment and (ii) the Revolving Exposure Limitations shall be satisfied. 
 (c)
Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire (or be subject to termination by notice from the Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereof) at or prior to the close of business on the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to
the Maturity Date; provided that, if any Letter of Credit is cash collateralized on or prior to the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date in accordance with Section 2.06(j), such Letter of Credit may expire
up to one year following the Maturity Date. 
 (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter
of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Domestic Tranche Lender with respect to a Domestic Tranche Letter of Credit and
to each Global Tranche Lender with respect to a Global Tranche Letter of Credit, and each applicable Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the 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 Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account
of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement
payment required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Domestic Tranche Letters of Credit and/or
Global Tranche Letters of Credit, as applicable, 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 the 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 in U.S. Dollars the U.S. Dollar Amount equal to such LC Disbursement (or if the Issuing Bank shall so elect in its sole discretion by notice to the Borrower Representative, in
such other Agreed Currency which was paid by the Issuing Bank pursuant to such LC Disbursement in an amount equal to such LC Disbursement) not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the
Borrower Representative receives notice of such LC Disbursement; provided  

  
 67 








 
that, the Borrower Representative 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 (i) a
Swingline Loan, (ii) to the extent such LC Disbursement was made in U.S. Dollars with respect to a Letter of Credit issued for the benefit of the Company or the Canadian Borrower, an ABR Revolving Borrowing or (iii) to the extent such LC
Disbursement was made in Canadian Dollars with respect to a Letter of Credit issued for the benefit of the Canadian Borrower, a Canadian Base Rate Revolving Borrowing in an amount equal to such LC Disbursement and, in each case, to the extent so
financed, the applicable Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Swingline Loan, ABR Revolving Borrowing or Canadian Base Rate Borrowing, as applicable. If the applicable Borrower fails to
make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Domestic Tranche Lender (in the case of a Domestic Tranche Letter of Credit) and each Global Tranche Lender (in the case of a Global Tranche Letter of Credit) of the applicable
LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the applicable Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each applicable Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative
Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the applicable Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment
obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the
applicable Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to
such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Swingline Loans, ABR Revolving Loans
or Canadian Base Rate Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 

(f) Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this
Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability
of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein or herein, (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) any payment by the 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, such Borrower’s obligations
hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank or 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 Issuing Bank;
provided that, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to any Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which
are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by the 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 the Issuing 

  
 68 








 
Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the 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 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 Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt
thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such demand
for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that, any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank
and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. 
 (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC
Disbursement, then, unless the applicable 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 such Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to (i) if such Borrower is the Company or the Canadian Borrower and such LC Disbursement is denominated in U.S. Dollars,
ABR Revolving Loans, (ii) if such Borrower is the Canadian Borrower and such LC Disbursement is denominated in Canadian Dollars, Canadian Base Rate Revolving Loans, (iii) if such Borrower is the Company and such LC Disbursement is
denominated in Sterling or Euro, at the Overnight LIBO Rate for such Agreed Currency plus the Applicable Rate and (iv) if such Borrower is the U.K. Borrower, the Dutch Borrower or a German Borrower and such LC Disbursement is denominated
in U.S. Dollars, Sterling or Euro, at the Overnight LIBO Rate for such Agreed Currency plus the Applicable Rate); and such interest shall be payable on the date when such reimbursement is due; provided that, if any Borrower fails 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 Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on
and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment. 

(i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower
Representative, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of the 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 the 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 then outstanding and issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. 

  
 69 








 (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, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the
aggregate LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, each Borrower shall deposit in one or more accounts with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the
Revolving Lenders (collectively, the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 105% of the U.S. Dollar Amount of the LC Exposure as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon for Letters of Credit under
which such Borrower is an account party; provided that (i) the portions of such amount attributable to undrawn Foreign Currency Letters of Credit or LC Disbursements in a Foreign Currency that any Borrower is not late in reimbursing
shall be deposited in the applicable Foreign Currencies in an amount equal to 105% of the actual amount of such undrawn Letters of Credit and LC Disbursements and (ii) 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. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Foreign Currency LC Exposure shall be calculated using the applicable Exchange Rate on the date notice demanding cash collateralization is delivered to the Company. Each applicable Borrower
shall also deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.11(b). Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. The
Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the LC Collateral Account and each Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agent a security interest in the LC Collateral Account.
Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.
Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in the LC Collateral Account. Moneys in the LC Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the 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 Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the aggregate LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of
the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Company within three (3) Business Days after all such Events of Defaults have been cured or waived as confirmed in writing by
the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall return to the Borrowers cash collateral required by Section 2.11(b) within three (3) Business Days following the date that such cash collateral is no longer required thereunder.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) cash collateral provided by any Domestic Subsidiary shall be used to pay the Secured Obligations (other than the Foreign Secured Obligations and the Secured Obligations that constitute a
Guarantee of the Foreign Secured Obligations) before being used to pay any of the other Secured Obligations, (y) cash collateral provided by any Foreign Subsidiary (other than any Canadian ULC) shall be used solely to pay the Foreign Secured
Obligations and (z) cash collateral provided by any German Loan Party shall be subject to the German Guaranty Limitations. 
 (k)
Issuing Bank Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section, report in writing to the
Administrative Agent (i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Administrative Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and
renewals, all expirations and cancelations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) reasonably prior to the time that such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension, and the stated amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, 

  
 70 








 
renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii) on each Business
Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date and U.S. Dollar Amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which any Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such
Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such LC Disbursement, and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such
Issuing Bank. All reporting from each Issuing Bank with respect to any Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Company shall indicate whether such Letter of Credit constitutes a Domestic Tranche Letter of Credit or a Global Tranche Letter of
Credit. 
 (l) LC Exposure Determination. For all purposes of this Agreement, the amount of a Letter of Credit that, by its terms or
the terms of any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not
such maximum stated amount is in effect at the time of determination. 
 SECTION 2.07. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender
shall make each Loan to be made by such Lender hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof by 1:00 p.m., Local Time, to the
account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that, Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans
available to the relevant Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Funding Account; provided that, 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 to the Issuing Bank and (ii) a Protective Advance shall be retained by the Administrative Agent. 

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will
not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may,
in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender
and such Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the
date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation (including without limitation the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate in the case of Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency) or (ii) in the case of such Borrower, (w) if such amount is a Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars and
made to the Company or the Canadian Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans, (x) if such amount is a Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars, the interest rate applicable to Canadian Base Rate Loans (y) if such amount is a
Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency and made to the Company, the interest rate applicable to Overnight LIBO Rate Loans and (z) if such amount is a Borrowing made to the U.K. Borrower, the Dutch Borrower or any German Borrower, the
interest rate applicable to Overnight LIBO Rate Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. 

  
 71 








 SECTION 2.08. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type
specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing or CDOR Rate Revolving Borrowing, 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 as permitted by this Agreement or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing or CDOR Rate Revolving Borrowing, 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 of such election by
telephone or irrevocable written notice (provided that, Borrowings made to the U.K. Borrower, the Dutch Borrower or any German Borrower require irrevocable written notice (via an Interest Election Request signed by the Borrower
Representative) and cannot be made by telephone) by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower Representative were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made
on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form
approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower Representative. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, this Section shall not be construed to permit any Borrower, or the Borrower Representative on its behalf, to
(i) change the currency of any Borrowing, (ii) elect an Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Rate Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02 or (iii) convert any Borrowing to a Borrowing of a Type not available under
such Borrowing or to such Borrower. 
 (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the
following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the name of the applicable Borrower 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); 
 (ii) the effective
date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the
existing and resulting Borrowing is a Domestic Tranche Borrowing or a Global Tranche Borrowing; 
 (iv) whether the resulting
Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Canadian Base Rate Borrowing, a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a CDOR Rate Borrowing; and 

(v) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a CDOR Rate Borrowing, the Interest Period and Agreed Currency to
be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing or CDOR Rate Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable
Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 

  
 72 








 (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall
advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
 (e) If the Borrower
Representative fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing or CDOR Rate Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein,
at the end of such Interest Period (i) in the case of a Borrowing by the Company or the Canadian Borrower denominated in U.S. Dollars, such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing, (ii) in the case of a Borrowing by the Canadian
Borrower denominated in Canadian Dollars, such Borrowing shall be converted to a Canadian Base Rate Borrowing and (iii) in the case of a Borrowing by any Borrower (other than the Canadian Borrower) in any Foreign Currency or in the case of a
Borrowing by the U.K. Borrower, the Dutch Borrower or any German Borrower denominated in any Agreed Currency, in each case, such Borrowing shall automatically continue as a Eurocurrency Borrowing in the same Agreed Currency with an Interest Period
of one month unless such Eurocurrency Borrowing is or was repaid in accordance with Section 2.11. 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 Revolving Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars and made to the Company or the Canadian Borrower may be
converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, (ii) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars may be converted to or continued as a CDOR Borrowing, (iii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing
denominated in U.S. Dollars and made to the Company shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iv) unless repaid, each CDOR Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to a Canadian Base Rate
Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (v) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency and made to the Company shall automatically be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with
an Interest Period of one month and (vi) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing made to the U.K. Borrower, the Dutch Borrower or any German Borrower shall automatically be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest
Period of one month. 
 SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments; Increase in Commitments. (a) Unless previously
terminated, all Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. 
 (b) The Borrowers may at any time terminate the Commitments upon
(i) the payment in full of all outstanding Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (ii) the cancellation and return of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or alternatively, with respect to each such Letter of Credit, the
furnishing to the Administrative Agent of a cash deposit (or a back up standby letter of credit satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank) in an amount equal to 105% of the LC Exposure as of such date), (iii) the payment in
full of accrued and unpaid fees and (iv) the payment in full of all reimbursable expenses and other Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations), together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. 

(c) The Borrowers may from time to time reduce the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an
amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000.000 and not less than $10,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower Representative shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in
accordance with Section 2.11, (x) the Borrowers shall not be in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations or (y) the aggregate Domestic Tranche Commitments of all Domestic Tranche Lenders shall be less than 60% of the
Aggregate Commitment. 

  
 73 








 (d) The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to
terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section at least five (5) 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. 
 (e) The Borrowers shall have the right to increase the Domestic Tranche
Commitments and/or the Global Tranche Commitments by obtaining additional Commitments, either from one or more of the Lenders or another lending institution; provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount
of $25,000,000, (ii) the Borrower Representative may make a maximum of four (4) such requests during the term of this Agreement, (iii) after giving effect thereto, the sum of the total of the additional Commitments does not exceed
$200,000,000, (iv) the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank have approved the identity of any such new Lender, such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld, (v) any such new Lender assumes all of the rights and obligations of a
“Lender” hereunder, (vi) the procedure described in Section 2.09(f) have been satisfied and (vii) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Domestic Tranche Commitments of all Domestic Tranche Lenders shall not be less than
60% of the Aggregate Commitment. Nothing contained in this Section 2.09 shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Commitment hereunder at any time. For purposes of clarity, any
increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.09(e) through (g) may give rise to an increase in the Primary Foreign Borrower Sublimit and/or the German Borrowers Sublimit subject to the percentage limits provided for in the
definition of Foreign Borrower Sublimit Condition. 
 (f) Any amendment hereto for such an increase or addition shall be in form and
substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and shall only require the written signatures of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and each Lender being added or increasing its Commitment. As a condition precedent to such an increase or
addition, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (including after giving due consideration to whether such increase or addition is to the Domestic Tranche Commitment or
Global Tranche Commitment) (i) a certificate of each Loan Party signed by an authorized officer of such Loan Party (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions (including, in relation to a U.K. Loan Party, resolution of all the holders of
such U.K. Loan Party’s issued shares) adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase and (B) in the case of the Borrowers, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase or addition, (1) the
representations and warranties contained in Article III and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (or, with respect to any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of an earlier date, is true and
correct in all material respects as of such earlier date or, with respect to any representation or warranty which is subject to any materiality qualifier, is true and correct in all respects), (2) no Default exists and (3) if the covenant
set forth in Section 6.13 is in effect, the Borrowers are in compliance with the covenant contained in Section 6.13 on the date of such increase and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents consistent with those
delivered on the Effective Date as to the corporate power and authority of the Borrowers to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase, and legal opinions consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date with respect to such power
and authority and other matters as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. 
 (g) On the effective date of any such increase
or addition, any Lender increasing (or, in the case of any newly added Lender, extending) its Domestic Tranche Commitment or Global Tranche Commitment shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available


  
 74 








 
funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders that have a Domestic Tranche Commitment or Global Tranche Commitment, as applicable, as being required in
order to cause, after giving effect to such increase or addition and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each such Lender’s portion of the outstanding Domestic Tranche Revolving Loans or Global Tranche Revolving
Loans, as applicable, of all the Lenders to equal its revised Applicable Percentage of such outstanding Domestic Tranche Revolving Loans or Global Tranche Revolving Loans, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent shall make such other adjustments
among the Lenders with respect to the Domestic Tranche Revolving Loans or Global Tranche Revolving Loans, as applicable, then outstanding and amounts of principal, interest, commitment fees and other amounts paid or payable with respect thereto as
shall be necessary, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, in order to effect such reallocation, subject, in each case, to indemnification by the Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.16. 

SECTION 2.10. Repayment and Amortization of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay
(i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Domestic Tranche Revolving Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Domestic Tranche Revolving Loan made to such Borrower on the Maturity Date in the currency of such Loan,
(ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Global Tranche Revolving Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Global Tranche Revolving Loan made to such Borrower on the Maturity Date in the currency of such Loan,
(iii) to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid amount of each Protective Advance made for the account of such Borrower on the earlier of the Maturity Date and demand by the Administrative Agent and (iv) to the Swingline Lender the then
unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan made for the account of such Borrower on the earliest of (x) the Maturity Date and (y) the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least two (2) Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that, on each date that a Revolving Loan is made, the applicable
Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding. To the extent this Section 2.10 creates an obligation of a German Borrower to repay Protective Advances or Swingline Loans of any other Borrower, such obligations shall be subject to
the German Guaranty Limitations. 
 (b) At all times during a Cash Dominion Period, on each Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall
apply all funds credited to any Collection Account on such Business Day or the immediately preceding Business Day (at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, whether or not immediately available) first to prepay any Protective Advances
that may be outstanding and second to prepay the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans) and to cash collateralize outstanding LC Exposure (provided that, collections and cash collateral provided by any Foreign Subsidiary (other
than any Canadian ULC) shall be used solely to pay the Foreign Secured Obligations, and collections, the application of funds credited to any Collection Account of a German Borrower, and cash collateral provided by any German Loan Party shall be
subject to the German Guaranty Limitations). Notwithstanding the foregoing, funds of the Domestic Loan Parties credited to any Collection Account shall be used to pay the Secured Obligations (other than the Foreign Secured Obligations and the
Secured Obligations that constitute a Guarantee of the Foreign Secured Obligations) prior to being used to pay any of the other Secured Obligations. 

(c) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of each Borrower to
such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

  
 75 








 (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount
of each Loan made hereunder, the Class, Agreed Currency and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender
hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 

(e) The Register and corresponding entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall be
prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that, the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the
obligation of any Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (f) Any Lender may request that Loans made
by it to any Borrower be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the relevant Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the Lender and its registered assigns and in a form approved by the
Administrative Agent and the Borrowers. 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 payee and its registered assigns. 
 SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans. (a) Any Borrower shall have the
right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the payment of any accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13 and, if applicable, the payment of any break funding expenses under
Section 2.16, but otherwise without premium or penalty. 
 (b) If, at any time, (i) other than as a result of fluctuations in
currency exchange rates, the Borrowers are not in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations (calculated with respect to Credit Events denominated in Foreign Currencies, as of the most recent Computation Date with respect to each such Credit
Event) or (ii) solely as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the Borrowers exceeded any Revolving Exposure Limitation by 105% of the applicable threshold, the applicable Borrowers who have exceed such limits with respect to
their Obligations shall in each case immediately repay Borrowings or cash collateralize LC Exposure in accordance with Section 2.06(j), as applicable, in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. To the extent this Section 2.11 creates an
obligation of a German Borrower to repay Borrowings of any other Borrower, the German Guaranty Limitations shall apply. 
 (c) Subject in all
respects to the provisions of the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement with respect to Net Proceeds of any Term Loan Priority Collateral, in the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of any Loan Party in respect
of any Prepayment Event, unless the Aggregate Availability would exceed 20% of the Aggregate Commitment immediately after giving effect to such Prepayment Event at any time other than during a Cash Dominion Period, such Loan Party shall, reasonably
promptly after such Net Proceeds are received by any Loan Party, prepay the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.11(d) below in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds (without any reduction to the Commitments); provided
that, if the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect that the Loan Parties intend to apply the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof specified in such
certificate), within 180 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds, to acquire (or replace or rebuild) real property, equipment or other tangible assets (excluding inventory) to be used in the business of the Loan Parties, and certifying that no
Default has occurred and is continuing, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of the Net Proceeds specified in such certificate; provided, further that, (i) to the extent of any such Net
Proceeds therefrom that have not been so applied by the end of such 180-day period, a prepayment shall be required at such time in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied if such payment would occur during a Cash Dominion
Period, or otherwise if Aggregate Availability does not exceed 20% of the Aggregate Commitment at such time and (ii) the 

  
 76 








 
Borrowers shall not be permitted to make elections to use Net Proceeds to acquire (or replace or rebuild) real property, equipment or other tangible assets (excluding inventory) with respect to
Net Proceeds in any fiscal year in an aggregate amount in excess of $20,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that, as a result of such Prepayment Event, the Borrowers would not be in compliance with the Revolving Exposure
Limitations immediately after giving effect to such Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans to the extent required by Section 2.11(b). 

(d) Subject in all respects to the provisions of the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement with respect to Net Proceeds of any Term Loan Priority
Collateral, all such amounts pursuant to Section 2.11(c) shall be applied, 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 the Commitments and to cash collateralize outstanding LC Exposure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Net Proceeds received by any Domestic Loan Party in respect of any Prepayment Event shall be used to
prepay the Secured Obligations (other than the Foreign Secured Obligations and the Secured Obligations that constitute a Guarantee of the Foreign Secured Obligations) before being applied to any of the other Secured Obligations, (ii) no Net
Proceeds received by any Foreign Loan Party (other than any Canadian ULC) in respect of any Prepayment Event shall be used to prepay any Secured Obligations other than the Foreign Secured Obligations and (iii) Net Proceeds received by any
German Loan Party in respect of any Prepayment Event shall be subject to the German Guaranty Limitations. 
 SECTION 2.12. Fees.
(a) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at a rate equal to (i) 0.375% per annum, if the average daily Unused Commitment exceeds 50% of the Aggregate
Commitment during the period in respect of which the payment is being made (which, for purposes of clarity, shall be the preceding month) and (ii) 0.250% per annum, if the average daily Unused Commitment is equal to or less than 50% of the
Aggregate Commitment during the period in respect of which the payment is being made (which, for purposes of clarity, shall be the preceding month), in either case, on the average daily amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the
Domestic Tranche Unused Commitment or Global Tranche Unused Commitment, as applicable, during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which the Commitments terminate. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in

360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 
 (b) Each
Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Domestic Tranche Lender (in the case of a Domestic Tranche Letter of Credit) and/or Global Tranche Lender (in the case of a Global Tranche Lender) a participation
fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans on the average daily
U.S. Dollar Amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure in respect thereof (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date
on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily
U.S. Dollar Amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) attributable to Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank for the account of such Borrower during the period from and

issuance, amendment, cancellation, negotiation, transfer, presentment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower or processing of 

  
 77 








 
drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of each calendar month shall be payable on the first Business Day of each calendar month
following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the
Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) Business Days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on
the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Participation fees and fronting fees in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in U.S. Dollars
shall be paid in U.S. Dollars, and participation fees and fronting fees in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be paid in such Foreign Currency.

participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

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 or CDOR Rate 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 interest (i) computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate, Canadian Base Rate or CDOR Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days
(or 366 days in a leap year), and (ii) for Borrowings denominated in Sterling shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Canadian Base Rate, CDOR Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate, LIBO Rate or Overnight LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with their terms, and such determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (g) For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of
interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of 360 days or any other period of time less than a calendar
year) are equivalent are the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 360 or such other period of time, respectively. 

SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. 

(a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing: 

(i) the Administrative Agent determines in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest
error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining (including, without limitation, by means of an Interpolated Rate) the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or 

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

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the Lenders by electronic communication as provided in
Section 9.01 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 to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective and unless repaid, (A) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars to the
Company, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing and (B) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing to the U.K. Borrower, the Dutch Borrower or any German Borrower, such Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be repaid on the last day of the then
current Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing in U.S. Dollars to the Company, such 

  
 79 








 
Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing, and (iii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency to the Company or denominated in
any Agreed Currency to the U.K. Borrower, the Dutch Borrower or any German Borrower, such Borrowing Request shall be ineffective; provided that, if such circumstances only affect one Class or Type of Borrowing or currency, then the foregoing
will only be applicable to the affected Class or Type of Borrowing or currency. 
 (b) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines in
good faith (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Overnight LIBO Rate or the Overnight LIBO Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the
Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, of making or maintaining Protective Advances, or Swingline Loans, the Administrative Agent or Swingline Lender, as applicable, shall give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and
the Lenders by telephone (provided that, any notice to any Swingline Lender providing Foreign Swingline Loans to a European Loan Party must be given in writing) 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, Overnight LIBO Borrowings shall be made as Alternate Rate Borrowings. 

(c) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a CDOR Rate Borrowing: 

(i) the Administrative Agent determines in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest
error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining (including, without limitation, by means of an Interpolated Rate) the CDOR Rate for such Interest Period; or 

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the CDOR Rate for the applicable Interest Period will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 

(d) then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the Lenders by electronic communication as
provided in Section 9.01 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 to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a CDOR Rate Borrowing shall be ineffective and unless repaid, such Borrowing shall be made as a Canadian Base Rate Borrowing and (ii) if any
Borrowing Request requests a CDOR Rate Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Canadian Base Rate Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.15.
Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall: 
 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special
deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve
requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; 
 (ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the
London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or 

  
 80 








 (iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes,
(B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (e) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves,
other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other
Recipient of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan (including, without limitation, pursuant to any conversion of any Borrowing denominated in an Agreed Currency into a
Borrowing denominated in any other Agreed Currency) or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, pursuant to any
conversion of any Borrowing denominated in an Agreed Currency into a Borrowing denominated in any other Agreed Currency) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient hereunder,
whether of principal, interest or otherwise (including, without limitation, pursuant to any conversion of any Borrowing denominated in an Agreed Currency into a Borrowing denominated in any other Agreed Currency), then the applicable Borrower will
pay to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or
reduction suffered as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank (which determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and generally consistent with similarly situated
customers of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 2.15, after consideration of such factors as the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing
Bank, as applicable, then reasonably determines to be relevant; provided that none of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall be required to disclose any confidential or proprietary information in
connection therewith). 
 (b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements
has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the 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 the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding
company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital
adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or
the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank (which determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious
basis) and generally consistent with similarly situated customers of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 2.15, after consideration of such factors
as the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, then reasonably determines to be relevant; provided that none of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall be required to
disclose any confidential or proprietary information in connection therewith) 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting
forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the 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 Company and shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. The Company shall pay, or cause the other Borrowers to pay, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof. 

  
 81 








 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that, the Loan Parties shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank
pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing 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 the 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 180-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 or CDOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or as a result
of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan or CDOR Rate 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 or CDOR Rate 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 or CDOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 2.19 or 9.02(e), then, in any such event, the applicable Borrowers shall
compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event (provided that (i) each Foreign Borrower shall only be required to compensate each Lender in respect of Borrowings of the Foreign Borrowers and
(ii) each German Borrower shall only be required to compensate each Lender subject to the German Guaranty Limitations). In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan or CDOR Rate Loan, such actual loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall include an
amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, and to the extent actually incurred by such Lender 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 or CDOR 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 Eurocurrency 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 the relevant currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurocurrency market or for Canadian Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period to such CDOR Rate Loan from other banks in the
Canadian banker’s acceptance market, as applicable. 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 Borrower Representative shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof. 

SECTION 2.17. Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up. (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding
Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or
withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be 

  
 82 








 
increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings of Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section 2.17) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. The relevant Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, Other Taxes. 
 (c)
Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, such Loan Party 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. 

(d) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally (but subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 9.21) indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this
Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified 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 Loan Party by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative
Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (e) Indemnification by the Lenders.
Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, (i) the Administrative Agent for any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan
Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) the Administrative Agent for any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to
comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) the Administrative Agent for any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the
Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any 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. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts
at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e). 

(f) Status of Lenders. 

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any
Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding (e.g., a certificate of residence issued by the competent tax authority
in the jurisdiction where the 

  
 83 








 
relevant Loan Party is resident). In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative 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 or the Administrative 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 documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.17(f)(ii)(A),
(ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or
commercial position of such Lender. 
 (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower
is a U.S. Person, 
 (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of
IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax; 

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower
Representative or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (1) in the case of a Foreign
Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN
establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 

(2) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming that its extension of credit will generate U.S. effectively connected
income, executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 
 (3) 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-1 to the effect that such Foreign
Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of a Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign
corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or 

  
 84 








 (4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the Beneficial Owner, executed
originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 or Exhibit E-3, IRS Form W-9,
and/or other certification documents from each Beneficial Owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest
exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the
Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the
Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such
supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

(D) 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 Borrower Representative and
the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower Representative or the Administrative 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 Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under
FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “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 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. 

(g) Additional U.K. Withholding Tax Matters. 

(i) Subject to clause (ii) below, each Lender and each U.K. Loan Party which makes a payment to such Lender shall
cooperate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for such U.K. Loan Party to obtain authorization to make such payment without withholding or deduction for Taxes imposed under the laws of England and Wales, including to the extent
practicable, making and filing an appropriate application for relief under any applicable income tax treaty. 
 (ii) 

  
 85 








 (A) Any Lender which on the day on which this Agreement is entered into
(x) holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme and (y) wishes such scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence opposite its name in the Commitment
Schedule; and 
 (B) A Lender which becomes a Lender hereunder after the day on which this Agreement is entered into that
(x) holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme and (y) wishes such scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall provide its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence to the Borrower Representative and the
Administrative Agent (and, where applicable, in the Assignment and Assumption), and 
 (C) If a Lender’s scheme
reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence is set forth on the Commitment Schedule pursuant to clause (A) or a Lender satisfies the requirements under clause (B) above, such Lender shall have satisfied its obligation under
paragraphs (f) (with respect to the U.K. Loan Parties) and (g)(i) above save in respect of documentation relating to FATCA. 

(iii) If a Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with
paragraph (g)(ii) above, the U.K. Loan Parties shall make a U.K. Borrower DTTP filing with respect to such Lender within thirty (30) days following the day on which this Agreement closes (or, with respect to any Lender that satisfies the
requirements of paragraph (g)(ii) above pursuant to clause (B) thereof, within thirty (30) days following the date such Lender satisfies such requirements), and shall promptly provide such Lender with a copy of such filing; provided
that, if a U.K. Loan Party making a payment to such Lender has made a U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender but: 

(1) such U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs; or 

(2) HM Revenue & Customs has not given such U.K. Loan Party authority to make payments to such Lender without a
deduction for tax within 60 days of the date of such U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing; 
 and, in each case, such U.K. Loan Party has notified
that Lender in writing, then such Lender and such U.K. Loan Party shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for such U.K. Loan Party to obtain authorization to make that payment without withholding or deduction
for Taxes imposed under the laws of England and Wales. 
 (iv) If a Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and
jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (g)(ii) above, no U.K. Loan Party shall make a U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme in respect of that Lender’s
Commitment(s) or its participation in any Loan unless the Lender otherwise agrees. 
 (v) Each U.K. Loan Party shall,
promptly on making a U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of such U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the relevant Lender. 

  
 86 








 (vi) Each Lender shall notify the Borrower Representative and Administrative
Agent if it determines in its sole discretion that it is ceases to be entitled to claim the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the U.K. is a party with respect to payments made by any U.K. Loan Party hereunder. 

(vii) If any Loan Party (other than a U.K. Loan Party) becomes aware that it has an obligation to deduct or withhold Taxes
imposed under the laws of the U.K., then it shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative and that Loan Party shall be treated as a U.K. Loan Party solely for the purposes of Section 2.17(g)(i) to (vi) of this
Agreement. 
 (h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it
has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), 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 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest
(other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this
paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net
after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving
rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph (h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the
indemnifying party or any other Person. 
 (i) VAT. 

(i) All amounts expressed to be payable under any Loan Document by any Loan Party to any Secured Party which (in whole or in
part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply and accordingly, subject to Section 2.17(i)(ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply
made by any Secured Party to any Loan Party under a Loan Document and such Secured Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Loan Party must pay to such Secured Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying
any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Secured Party shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that Loan Party). 

(ii) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Secured Party (the “Supplier”) to any other
Secured Party (the “Customer”) under a Loan Document and any party other than the Customer (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that
supply to the supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Customer in respect of that consideration, then: 

(A) if the Supplier is the Person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Relevant Party must also
pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The 

  
 87 








 
Customer must (where this paragraph (A) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Customer receives from the relevant tax authority which the
Customer reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and 
 (B) if the Customer is the Person
required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Customer, pay to the Customer an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Customer
reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT. 

(iii) Where a Loan Document requires any Loan Party to reimburse or indemnify a Secured Party for any cost or expense that Loan
Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Secured Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Secured Party reasonably determines that it is
entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority. 
 (iv) Any reference in this
Section 2.17(i) to any Secured Party or Loan Party shall, at any time when such Secured Party or Loan Party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to
the representative member or “parent” of such group at such time (the term “representative member” and “parent” to have the same meaning as in the Value Added Tax Act 1994 of England and Wales or applicable legislation
in other jurisdictions having implemented Council Directive 2006/112 EC on the common system of value added tax). 
 (j) Survival.
Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the
repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 
 (k) Defined Terms. For purposes of this
Section 2.17, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. 
 SECTION
2.18. Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it 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. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in
the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. Other than payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as
expressly provided herein, all payments shall be made (i) in the same currency in which the applicable Credit Event was made and (ii) to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 10 South Dearborn Street, 22nd Floor, Chicago, Illinois; provided that, (x) in the case of a Credit Event denominated in Canadian Dollars, such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent’s offices at
200 Bay Street, Royal Bank Plaza, South Tower, Suite 1800, Toronto M5J 2J2 Canada, (y) in the case of a Credit Event denominated in Sterling or Euro, such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent’s Eurocurrency Payment Office for
such currency and (z) payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments denominated in the same currency received by
it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next


  
 88 








 
succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section, if, after the making of any Credit Event in any Foreign Currency, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues such currency with the result that the type of currency in which the Credit Event was made
(the “Original Currency”) no longer exists, or any Borrower is not able to make payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in such Original Currency, or the terms of this Agreement require the conversion of
such Credit Event into U.S. Dollars, then all payments to be made by such Borrower hereunder in such currency shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, instead be made when due in U.S. Dollars in an amount equal to the U.S. Dollar Amount
(as of the date of repayment) of such payment due, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Borrowers take all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations or conversion, and each Borrower agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from and against any loss resulting from any Credit Event made to or for the benefit of such Borrower denominated in a Foreign Currency that
is not repaid to the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, in the Original Currency. 

(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 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, shall be applied ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements including amounts then due to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking
Services Obligations or Swap Agreement Obligations), second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services Obligations or Swap Agreement Obligations),
third, to pay interest due in respect of the Protective Advances, fourth, to pay the principal of the Protective Advances, 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 Administrative Agent equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the
aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and the aggregate amount of any unpaid LC Disbursements, to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations, eighth, to payment of any amounts owing with respect to Banking
Services Obligations and Swap Agreement Obligations up to and including the amount most recently provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.22, and ninth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender by the Borrowers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts received from any Loan Party shall not be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Loan Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower Representative, or unless an Event of Default is in existence, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any Eurocurrency Loan or CDOR Rate Loan of
a Class, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable thereto 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. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the 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, (x) any such applicable proceeds from property of the Domestic Loan Parties shall be applied to the Secured Obligations (other than the
Foreign Secured Obligations and the Secured Obligations that constitute a Guarantee of the Foreign Secured Obligations) before being applied to any of the other Secured Obligations, (y) the 

  
 89 








 
application of any such applicable proceeds from Collateral securing solely the Foreign Secured Obligations shall only be made in respect of the Foreign Secured Obligations in the same order set
forth above, and (z) the application of any such applicable proceeds from Collateral granted by any German Loan Party shall be subject to the German Guaranty Limitations (in respect of Collateral granted under the German Collateral Documents as
set forth in the German Collateral Documents). 
 (c) At the election of the Administrative Agent and unless instructed by the Borrower
Representative prior to the due date therefor that payment will otherwise be made, all payments of principal, interest, LC Disbursements, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all reimbursement for fees, costs 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 the Administrative Agent; provided that (i) proceeds of any Borrowings of a Foreign Borrower (other than the German
Borrowers) and proceeds deducted from any deposit account of any such Foreign Borrower shall only be used to pay the Foreign Secured Obligations and (ii) proceeds of any Borrowing of a German Borrower and proceeds deducted from any deposit
account of any German Borrower shall only be used to pay amounts owed by such German Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes (i) the 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 Section 2.03, 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable, and
(ii) the Administrative Agent to charge any deposit account of the relevant Borrower maintained with the Administrative 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, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, 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 and Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its
Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other similarly situated Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face
value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the applicable Lenders ratably in accordance with the
aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment
giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment
made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC
Disbursements or Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to
the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as
fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such applicable payment from a Foreign Loan Party shall only be used to purchase a participation in a Foreign
Secured Obligation in the same order set forth above. 

  
 90 








 (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 the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent 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 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 Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing 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, 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 (including without limitation the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate in the case of Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency). 

(f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion
(notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are
fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender hereunder; application of amounts pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above
shall be made in any order determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion. 
 SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement
of Lenders. 
 (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified
Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its
Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to
Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender becomes
a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17) and obligations under this Agreement and other Loan Documents 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 in circumstances where its consent
would be required under Section 9.04, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans
and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued 

  
 91 








 
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 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. 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 unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a); 
 (b) the Commitment and
Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or the Supermajority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other
modification pursuant to Section 9.02) or under any other Loan Document; provided, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02, this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an
amendment, waiver or other modification expressly requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender directly affected thereby; 
 (c) if
any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: 
 (i) all or any part of
the Swingline Exposure and LC 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 that (x) the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation, (y) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all
non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (z) each non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Exposures do not exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment; 

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company or the
applicable Borrowers shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, the
Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (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; 
 (iii) if the Company or the applicable 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 Sections 2.12(a) and 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable
Percentages; and 

  
 92 








 (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, renew, extend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and such 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 Company or the applicable Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and participating interests in any such newly made Swingline Loan or newly issued or increased Letter
of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). 

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the 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 Company 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 each of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender agrees that a Defaulting Lender
has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on the date of such
readjustment 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 2.21. Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or
any part of the Obligations (including a payment effected through exercise of a right of setoff), the Administrative Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or
application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason (including pursuant to any settlement entered
into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion), 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 or such Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.21 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance upon
such payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section 2.21 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

SECTION 2.22. Banking Services and Swap Agreements. Each Lender or Affiliate thereof providing Banking Services for, or having Swap
Agreements with, any Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, promptly after entering into such Banking Services or Swap Agreements, written notice setting forth the aggregate amount of all Banking Services Obligations and Swap
Agreement Obligations of such Loan Party or Affiliate thereof to such Lender or Affiliate (whether 

  
 93 








 
matured or unmatured, absolute or contingent). In addition, each such Lender or Affiliate thereof shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, from time to time after a significant change therein
or upon a request therefor, but in any event not less than monthly, a summary of the amounts due or to become due in respect of such Banking Services Obligations and Swap Agreement Obligations. The most recent information provided to the
Administrative Agent shall be used in determining the amounts to be applied in respect of such Banking Services Obligations and/or Swap Agreement Obligations pursuant to Section 2.18(b). 

SECTION 2.23. Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from any
Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be
that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s main New York City office on the Business Day preceding that on
which final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be
discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may
be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative
Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as
the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts
shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 2.18, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to such Borrower. 

SECTION 2.24. Designation of Foreign Borrowers. 

(a) The Company may from time to time prior to October 30, 2013 (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree to in its
sole discretion) designate (a) Belden UK Limited, a limited liability company organized under the laws of England and Wales, as the U.K. Borrower, (b) Belden Europe B.V., a besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid
organized under the laws of the Netherlands, as the Dutch Borrower, (c) Belden Deutschland GmbH, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Germany, as the German Borrower A, (d) Hirschmann Electronics GmbH, a limited
liability company organized under the laws of Germany, as the German Borrower B and/or (e) Hirschmann Automation and Control GmbH, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Germany, as the German Borrower C, in each case, by
delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement executed by such Subsidiary and the Company and the satisfaction of the other conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.03, and upon such delivery and satisfaction (such
date, the “Foreign Borrower Effective Date”), such Subsidiary shall constitute the U.K. Borrower, the Dutch Borrower, German Borrower A, the German Borrower B or the German Borrower C, as applicable, for all purposes of this
Agreement. As soon as practicable upon receipt of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall furnish a copy thereof to each Lender. 

(b) The Company may from time to time, with not less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice (or such fewer days as the
Administrative Agent may agree to in its sole discretion), designate Subsidiaries organized under the laws of Germany as additional German Borrowers by delivery 

  
 94 








 
to the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement executed by such Subsidiary and the Company and the satisfaction of the other conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.03,
and upon the occurrence of the Foreign Borrower Effective Date and the effectiveness of the German Borrower Amendment, such Subsidiary shall constitute a German Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement. As soon as practicable upon receipt of a
Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall furnish a copy thereof to each Lender. This Agreement may be amended pursuant to an amendment or an amendment and restatement (a “German Borrower Amendment”) executed by
the Company, the applicable additional German Borrower and the Administrative Agent, without the consent of any other Lenders, in order to effect such amendments to this Agreement as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the
Administrative Agent and its counsel, to effect the preceding clause (b) (including to add or combine German Borrowing Bases). Upon such execution, delivery and consent, such Subsidiary shall for all purposes be a party hereto as a Foreign
Borrower as fully as if it had executed and delivered this Agreement. 
 (c) Removal of Foreign Borrower. The Company may at any time
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a termination agreement (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) with respect to any Foreign Borrower, whereupon such Subsidiary shall cease to be a Foreign Borrower
and a party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, no such termination will become effective as to any Foreign Borrower at a time when any principal of or interest on any Loan to such Foreign Borrower or any other amount due and
payable by such Foreign Borrower shall be outstanding hereunder, or when assets of such Foreign Borrower are included in any Borrowing Base. 

ARTICLE III 
 Representations and
Warranties 
 Each Loan Party represents and warrants to the Lenders that: 

SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers. Each Loan Party and each Restricted Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing (to the extent such concept is applicable in the relevant jurisdiction) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to
do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business, and is in good standing (to the extent such concept is applicable), in every other jurisdiction where such
qualification is required. 
 SECTION 3.02. Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are within each Loan Party’s
organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational actions and, if required, actions by equity holders. Each Loan Document to which each Loan Party is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party
and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and
subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and requirements of reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing. 

SECTION 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration
or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and except for filings necessary to perfect Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents, (b) will
not violate any Requirement of Law applicable to any Loan Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, (c) will not violate 

  
 95 








 
or result in a default in any material respects under any material indenture, material agreement or other material instrument (including, without limitation, the Term Loan Documents and the
indentures evidencing the Existing Subordinated Notes) binding upon any Loan Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or the assets of any Loan Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment
to be made by any Loan Party or any of its Restricted 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 Restricted Subsidiaries, except Liens created pursuant to the
Loan Documents or the Term Loan Documents, except, in the case of clauses (a) and (b) above, where such breach or the failure to take such action, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

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 (i) as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, reported on by Ernst & Young LLP, independent public accountants, and (ii) as
of and for the fiscal quarter and the portion of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, 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 normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in
clause (ii) above. 
 (b) Since December 31, 2012, no event, change or condition has occurred that has had, or could reasonably be
expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.05. Properties. (a) Each of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries has defensible title to, or valid leasehold interests or licensed interests in, all its real and personal property material to the businesses of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, except for minor defects in
title that do not interfere with their ability to conduct such businesses or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes. 
 (b)
Each of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all material trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, and patents necessary for the operation of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, and to the knowledge of the Company the use thereof by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.06. Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) No actions, suits or proceedings by or
before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority are pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened against or affecting any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary (i) except as could not 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 and 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 (i) no Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary has received written notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or knows of any basis for it so be subject to any Environmental
Liability, in each case with respect to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and (ii) no Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary (A) has failed to comply with any applicable Environmental Law or to obtain,
maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any applicable Environmental Law, or (B) has become subject to any Environmental Liability. 

  
 96 








 (c) Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no change in the status of the Disclosed
Matters that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.07. Compliance with Laws and
Agreements; No Default. Except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, each Loan Party and each Restricted Subsidiary is in compliance with
(i) all Requirement of Law applicable to it or its property and (ii) all indentures, material agreements and other material instruments binding upon it or its property. No Default has occurred and is continuing.

 ARTICLE VIII 

The Administrative Agent 

SECTION 8.01. Appointment. Each of the Lenders, on behalf of itself and any of its Affiliates that are Secured Parties, and the Issuing
Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution and amendment of the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation,
intercreditor and subordination agreements), and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the
extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the U.S., each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby grants to the Administrative Agent any required powers of attorney to execute any Collateral Document governed by the laws of
such jurisdiction on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s behalf. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank), and the Loan Parties
shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions except for Section 8.06. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” as used herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any similar term)
with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is
intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 

  
 130 








 SECTION 8.02. Rights as a Lender. The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder
shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally
engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or any Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. 

SECTION 8.03. Duties and Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing,
(b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is
required to exercise as directed in writing 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, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary that is communicated to or obtained by the bank
serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Representative or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall
not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with 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 validity, enforceability, effectiveness or
genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) 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. 

SECTION 8.04. Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon,
any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it
orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Borrower), independent accountants
and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

SECTION 8.05. Actions through Sub-Agents. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties.
The 

  
 131 








 
exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their
respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 8.06. Resignation. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph,
the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower Representative. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Company (and with the approval
of the Company so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders (and, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, with the approval of the
Company)and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint
a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by its successor, such successor shall succeed to
and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The
fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor, unless otherwise agreed by the Company and such successor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event no successor
Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice
of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrowers, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Administrative Agent under any Collateral Document for the benefit of the Secured Parties,
the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent, shall continue to
hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this paragraph (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent shall have
no duly or obligation to take any further action under any Collateral Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest), and (b) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all
the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, provided that (i) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other
than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (ii) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall also directly be given or made to each Lender and
each Issuing Bank. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article, Section 2.17(d) and Section 9.03, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and
indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (a) above. 

  
 132 








 SECTION 8.07. Non-Reliance. 

(a) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and letters of credit and not
investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each
Lender shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities
laws concerning the Borrowers and their Affiliates) 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, any related agreement
or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a Lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder. 

(b) Each Lender hereby agrees that (i) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent;
(ii) the Administrative Agent (A) makes no 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 (B) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; (iii) 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 the Administrative Agent undertakes no obligation to update,
correct or supplement the Reports; (iv) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the Report with any Loan Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and
(v) 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 and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from
and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any such other Person as the direct or indirect result of any third
parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender. 
 SECTION 8.08. Other Agency Titles. None of the
Lenders, if any, identified in this Agreement as a Syndication Agent or Co-Documentation Agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such.
Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to the relevant Lenders in their respective capacities as
Syndication Agent or Co-Documentation Agent, as applicable, as it makes with respect to the Administrative Agent in the preceding paragraph. 

SECTION 8.09. Not Partners or Co-Venturers; Administrative Agent as Representative of the Secured Parties. (a) The Lenders are not
partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Administrative Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender. The Administrative Agent shall have the
exclusive right on behalf of the Lenders to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan after the date such principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 

(b) In its capacity, the Administrative Agent is a “representative” of the Secured Parties within the meaning of the term
“secured party” as defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code. Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into each of the Collateral Documents to which it is a party and to take all action contemplated by such
documents. Each Lender agrees that no Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have the right individually to seek to realize upon the 

  
 133 








 
security granted by any Collateral Document, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties upon the terms of the Collateral Documents. In the event that any Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral security for the Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, and hereby granted a power of
attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Secured Parties any Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a Lien on such Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties. 

(c) For the purposes of holding any security granted by the Company or any other Loan Party pursuant to the laws of the Province of
Quebec to secure payment of any bond issued by the Company or any Loan Party, each Lender and other Secured Party party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the person holding the power of
attorney (i.e., “fondé de pouvoir”) (in such capacity, the “Canadian Attorney-in-Fact”) of the Lenders and other Secured Parties as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec,
and to enter into, to take and to hold on its behalf, and for its benefit, any hypothec, and to exercise such powers and duties that are conferred upon the Canadian Attorney-in-Fact under any hypothec. Moreover, without prejudice to such appointment
and authorization to act as the person holding the power of attorney as aforesaid, each Lender and other Secured Party party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the
“Custodian”) to act as agent and custodian for and on behalf of the Lenders to hold and be the sole registered holder of any bond which may be issued under any hypothec, the whole notwithstanding Section 32 of An Act respecting the
special powers of legal persons (Quebec) or any other applicable law, and to execute all related documents. Each of the Canadian Attorney-in-Fact and the Custodian shall: (a) have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise,
except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof, all rights and remedies given to the Canadian Attorney-in-Fact and the Custodian (as applicable) pursuant to any hypothec, bond, pledge, applicable laws or otherwise,
(b) benefit from and be subject to all provisions hereof with respect to the Administrative Agent mutatis mutandis, including, without limitation, all such provisions with respect to the liability or responsibility to and indemnification by the
Lenders, and (c) be entitled to delegate from time to time any of its powers or duties under any hypothec, bond, or pledge on such terms and conditions as it may determine from time to time. Any person who becomes a Lender shall, by its
execution of an Assignment and Assumption, be deemed to have consented to and confirmed: (i) the Canadian Attorney-in-Fact as the person holding the power of attorney as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Lender, all
actions taken by the Canadian Attorney-in-Fact in such capacity, and (ii) the Custodian as the agent and custodian as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Lender, all actions taken by the Custodian in such capacity. The
substitution of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII shall also constitute the substitution of the Canadian Attorney-in-Fact and the Custodian. The execution by the Canadian Attorney-in-Fact prior to this
Agreement of any deeds of hypothec or other security documents is hereby notified and confirmed. 
 (d) In relation to the German
Collateral Documents the following additional provisions shall apply: 
 (i) Each Lender authorizes J.P. Morgan Europe
Limited to enter into each of the German Collateral Documents to which it is a party and to take all action contemplated by such documents. Any reference in this clause (d) to the Administrative Agent shall also mean J.P. Morgan Europe Limited,
in its capacity as Administrative Agent with respect to the German Collateral Documents. The Administrative Agent with respect to the part of the Collateral secured pursuant to the German Collateral Documents or any other security interest in
Collateral created under German law (“German Collateral”) shall: 

  
 134 








 (A) hold, administer and realise such German Collateral that is transferred or
assigned by way of security (Sicherungseigentum/Sicherungsabtretung) or otherwise granted to it and is creating or evidencing a non-accessory security right (nicht akzessorische Sicherheit) in its own name as trustee
(Treuhänder) for the benefit of the Secured Parties: and 
 (B) hold, administer and realise any such
German Collateral that is pledged (verpfändet) or otherwise transferred to the Administrative Agent and is creating or evidencing an accessory security right (akzessorische Sicherheit) as agent. 

(ii) With respect to the German Collateral, each Secured Party hereby authorizes and each future Secured Party authorizes and
grants a power of attorney (Vollmacht) to the Administrative Agent (whether or not by or through employees or agents) to: 

(A) accept as its representative (Stellvertreter) any pledge or other creation of any accessory security right granted
in favor of such Secured Party in connection with the German Collateral Documents and to agree to and execute on its behalf as its representative (Stellvertreter) any amendments and/or alterations to any German Collateral Document or any
other agreement related to such German Collateral which creates a pledge or any other accessory security right (akzessorische Sicherheit) including the release or confirmation of release of such security; 

(B) execute on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties where relevant and without the need for any further referral to, or
authority from, the Secured Parties or any other person all necessary releases of any such German Collateral secured under the German Collateral Documents or any other agreement related to such German Collateral; 

(C) realise such German Collateral in accordance with the German Collateral Documents or any other agreement securing such
German Collateral; 
 (D) make and receive all declarations and statements and undertake all other necessary actions and
measures which are necessary or desirable in connection with such German Collateral or the German Collateral Documents or any other agreement securing the German Collateral; 

(E) take such action on its behalf as may from time to time be authorized under or in accordance with the German Collateral
Documents; and 
 (F) to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to or conferred
upon the Secured Parties under the German Collateral Documents together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto. 

(iii) Each of the Secured Parties agrees that, if the courts of Germany do not recognize or give effect to the trust expressed
to be created by this Agreement or any Loan Document, the relationship of the Secured Parties to the Administrative Agent shall be construed as one of principal and agent but, to the extent permissible under the laws of Germany, all the other
provisions of this Agreement shall have full force and effect between the parties hereto. 

  
 135 








 (iv) Each Secured Party hereby ratifies and approves, and each future Secured
Party ratifies and approves, all acts and declarations previously done by the Administrative Agent on such Person’s behalf (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the declarations made by the Administrative Agent as representative without power
of attorney (Vertreter ohne Vertretungsmacht) in relation to the creation of any pledge (Pfandrecht) on behalf and for the benefit of each Secured Party as future pledgee or otherwise); and 

(v) For the purpose of performing its rights and obligations as Administrative Agent and to make use of any authorization
granted under the German Collateral Documents each Secured Party hereby authorizes, and each future Secured Party hereby authorizes, the Administrative Agent to act as its agent (Stellvertreter), and releases the Administrative Agent from any
restrictions on representing several Persons and self-dealing under any applicable law, and in particular from the restrictions of Section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch). The Administrative Agent has the
power to grant sub-power of attorney, including the release from the restrictions of Section 181 of the German Civil Code. 
 (e) In
relation to the Dutch Collateral Documents the following additional provisions shall apply: 
 (i) for the purpose of
Section 8.09(f) of this Agreement the Administrative Agent Acts on its own name and on behalf of itself and not as agent, representative or trustee of any Secured Party; 

(ii) an Event of Default in respect of the Corresponding Debt shall constitute a Default (verzuim) within the meaning of
section 3:248 of the Dutch Civil Code with respect to the Parallel Debt without any notice being required; and 
 (iii) the
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any resignation by the Administrative Agent is not effective with respect to its rights and obligations under the Parallel Debt until such rights and obligations have been assumed by the successor
Administrative Agent. 
 (f) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes (and to the extent necessary undertakes in
advance) to pay to the Administrative Agent amounts equal to any amounts owing from time to time by such Loan Party to any Secured Party under this Agreement any other Loan Document or other relevant document pursuant to any Secured Obligations as
and when those amounts are due under any Loan Document or other relevant document (such payment undertakings under this Section 8.09(f) and the obligations and liabilities resulting therefrom being the “Parallel Debt”). 

(i) The Administrative Agent shall have its own independent right to demand payment of the Parallel Debt by the Loan Parties.
Each Loan Party and the Administrative Agent acknowledge that the obligations of each Loan Party under this Section 8.09(f) are several, separate and independent from, and shall not in any way limit or affect, the corresponding obligations of
each Loan Party to any Secured Party under this Agreement any other Loan Document or other relevant document (the “Corresponding Debt”) nor shall the amount for which each Loan Party is liable under Section 8.09(f) be limited
or affected in any way by its Corresponding Debt provided that: 
 (A) the Parallel Debt shall be decreased to the
extent that the Corresponding Debt has been irrevocably paid or discharged (other than, in each case, contingent obligations); 

(B) the Corresponding Debt shall be decreased to the extent that the Parallel Debt has been irrevocably paid or discharged;


  
 136 








 (C) the amount of the Parallel Debt shall at all times be equal to the amount of
the Corresponding Debt; 
 (D) the Parallel Debt will be payable in the currency or currencies of the Corresponding Debt;

 (E) the Borrowers shall have all objections and defenses against the Parallel Debt as the Borrowers have against the
Corresponding Debt (including Corresponding Debt reinstated for any reason); and 
 (F) for the avoidance of doubt the
Parallel Debt will become due and payable at the same time when the Corresponding Debt becomes due and payable. 
 (ii) the
security granted under any German Collateral Document or any Dutch Collateral Document with respect to Parallel Debt is granted to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as sole creditor of the Parallel Debt. 

(iii) Without limiting or affecting the Administrative Agent’s rights against any Loan Party (whether under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document), each Loan Party acknowledges that: 
 (A) nothing in this Agreement shall impose any obligation
on the Administrative Agent to advance any sum to any Loan Party or otherwise under any Loan Document; and 
 (B) for the
purpose of any vote taken under any Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not be regarded as having any participation or commitment other that those which it has in its capacity as a Lender. 

(iv) The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and confirm that the parallel debt provisions contained herein shall not be
interpreted so as to increase the maximum total amount of the Secured Obligations. 
 (v) The Parallel Debt shall remain
effective in case a third Person should assume or be entitled, partially or in whole, to any rights of any of the Secured Parties under any of the other Loan Documents, be it by virtue of assignment, assumption or otherwise; and 

(vi) All monies received or recovered by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and all amounts received or
recovered by the Administrative Agent from or by the enforcement of any security granted to secure the Parallel Debt shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.18 of this Agreement, 

(g) Each Lender authorizes J.P. Morgan Europe Limited to enter in each of the U.K. Collateral Documents to which it is a party and to take all
action contemplated by such documents. Any reference in this clause (f) through clause (j) below to the Administrative Agent shall also mean J.P. Morgan Europe Limited, in its capacity as Administrative Agent with respect to the U.K.
Collateral Documents. In this Agreement and the U.K. Collateral Documents, any rights and remedies exercisable by, any documents to be delivered to, or any other indemnities or obligations in favor of the Administrative Agent shall be, as the case
may be, exercisable by, delivered to, or be indemnities or other obligations in favor of, the Administrative Agent (or any other Person acting in such capacity) in its capacity as security trustee of the Secured Parties to the extent that the
rights, deliveries, indemnities or 

  
 137 








 
other obligations relate to the U.K. Collateral Documents or the security thereby created. Any obligations of the Administrative Agent (or any other Person acting in such capacity) in this
Agreement and the U.K. Collateral Documents shall be obligations of the Administrative Agent in its capacity as security trustee of the Secured Parties to the extent that the obligations relate to the U.K. Collateral Documents or the security
thereby created. Additionally, in its capacity as security trustee of the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent (or any other Person acting in such capacity) shall have (i) all the rights, remedies and benefits in favor of the
Administrative Agent contained in the provisions of the whole of this Article VII,; (ii) all the powers of an absolute owner of the security constituted by the U.K. Collateral Documents and (iii) all the rights, remedies and powers granted
to it and be subject to all the obligations and duties owed by it under the U.K. Collateral Documents and/or any of the Loan Documents. 

(h) Each Secured Party on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Banking Services Obligations and Swap Agreement
Obligations hereby appoints the Administrative Agent to act as its trustee under an in relation to the U.K. Collateral Documents and to hold the assets subject to the security thereby created as trustee for the Secured Parties on the trusts and
other terms contained in the U.K. Collateral Documents and each Secured Party hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent in its capacity as security trustee of the Secured Parties to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions
as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent as security trustee of the Secured Parties by the terms of the U.K. Collateral Documents together with all such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto.

 (i) Any reference in this Agreement to Liens stated to be in favor of the Administrative Agent shall be construed so as to include a
reference to Liens granted in favor of the Administrative Agent in its capacity as security trustee of Secured Parties. 
 (j) The Secured
Parties agree that at any time that the Person acting as security trustee of the Secured Parties in respect of the U.K. Collateral Documents shall be a Person other than the Administrative Agent, such other Person shall have the rights, remedies,
benefits and powers granted to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as security trustee of the Secured Parties under this Agreement and the U.K. Collateral Documents. 

(k) Nothing shall require the Administrative Agent in its capacity as security trustee of the Secured Parties under this Agreement and the U.K.
Collateral Documents to act as a trustee at common law or to be holding any property on trust, in any jurisdiction outside the United States or the U.K. which may not operate under the principles of trust or where such trust would not be recognized
or its effects would not be enforceable.

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


All such notices and other communications (i) sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to
have been given when received, (ii) sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent, provided that if not given during normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given
at the opening of business on the next Business Day of the recipient, or (iii) delivered through Electronic Systems to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below shall be effective as provided in such paragraph. 

(b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by Electronic Systems pursuant to procedures
approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that, the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II or to compliance and no Default certificates delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(c) unless otherwise agreed by the
Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative (on behalf of the Loan Parties) may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic
communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise proscribes, all such notices and other
communications (i) sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested”
function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if not given during the normal business hours of the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening
of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address
as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, e-mail or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day of the
recipient. 
 (c) Any party hereto may change its address, facsimile number or e-mail address for
notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of
receipt. 
 (d) Electronic Systems. 

  
 140 








 (i) Each Loan Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be
obligated to, make Communications (as defined below) available to the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar or a substantially similar Electronic System. 

(ii) Any Electronic System used by the Administrative Agent is provided “as is” and “as available.”
The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of such Electronic Systems and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any
warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or any Electronic System. In no
event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind,
including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Company’s, any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of
communications through an Electronic System. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document
or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Electronic System. 

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the 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 right or
power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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 the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 

(b) Except as provided in the first sentence of Section 2.09(f) (with respect to any commitment increase) and in Section 2.24(b)
(with respect to a German Borrower Amendment), neither this Agreement nor any other provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders;
provided that, no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting 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 (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) directly affected
thereby; provided that, (x) any amendment to the financial covenant definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or the reduction or forgiveness of any interest for purposes of this clause
(ii) and (y) the default interest rate specified in Section 2.13(d) may be postponed, delayed, reduced, waived or modified with the consent of the Required Lenders, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal
amount of any Loan 

  
 141 








 
or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any
Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) directly affected thereby; provided that, mandatory prepayments pursuant to Section 2.11(c) may be postponed, delayed,
reduced, waived or modified with the consent of the Required Lenders, (iv) other than as set forth in Section 9.02(c), change Section 2.18(b) or (d) in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, without
the written consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), (v) change the definition of any Borrowing Base (or any defined terms used therein) in a manner that makes more credit available, increase the advance rates set forth in the
definition of Borrowing Base or add new categories of eligible assets, in each case, without the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders, (vi) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders”
or “Supermajority Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any
consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), (vii) change Section 2.20, without the consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), (viii) release all or substantially
all of the value of the Loan Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents, including with respect to a sale, disposition or dissolution of a Loan Guarantor permitted herein), without the written consent of each
Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), or (ix) except as provided in clause (d) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender (other than
any Defaulting Lender); provided further that, no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be (it being understood that any change to Section 2.20 shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender). 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent
of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (x) to add one or more credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in
respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Revolving Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit
facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and Lenders. 
 (d) The Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably authorize the
Administrative Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release and the Administrative Agent shall, at the Borrowers’ request release (and/or, in connection with clauses (ii) through (iv), subordinate) any Liens granted to the
Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments, payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Secured Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations), and the cash collateralization
(which may include issuance of a back-up letter of credit covering all Unliquidated Obligations in a manner reasonably satisfactory to each affected Lender), in which case the Administrative Agent is also authorized to terminate the Loan Documents
and release the Loan Guaranty, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Loan Party disposing of such property certifies to the Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this
Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), and to the extent that the property being sold or disposed of constitutes 100% of the Equity Interest of a Subsidiary, the
Administrative Agent is authorized to release any Loan Guaranty or license provided by such Subsidiary, (iii) constituting property leased or licensed to a Loan Party under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted
under this Agreement, (iv) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Article VII, (v) subject


  
 142 








 
to Liens permitted under Section 6.02(c), 6.02(d) or 6.02(f), (vi) constituted Excluded Assets and (vii) constituting real property that previously constituted Eligible Real
Property but that ceases to be Eligible Real Property (including a release of any applicable Mortgage). The Lenders and the Issuing Bank agree that any release of Liens as described above may be automatic to the extent provided in the Collateral
Documents and, at the request and sole expense of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to execute and deliver to the Loan Parties all releases or other documents reasonably requested to evidence the release of such Liens.
Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will not release or subordinate any Liens on Collateral without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders; provided that, the Administrative Agent may in its
discretion, release or subordinate its Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $10,000,000 during any calendar year without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders (it being agreed that the Administrative Agent
may rely conclusively on one or more certificates of the Borrowers as to the value of any Collateral to be so released, without further inquiry). Notwithstanding the foregoing, rights of the Administrative Agent to provide releases, upon any sale or
other disposition by any Loan Party (other than to any other Loan Party) of any Collateral in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, the security interests in such Collateral created by this Agreement and other Loan Documents shall be
automatically released. Any such release or subordination shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released or subordinated) 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. Any execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent of documents in connection with any
such release or subordination shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) 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 Company may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement and such Non-Consenting
Lender agrees to be replaced, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash
the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of
such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) each Borrower 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 such Borrower 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.

 (f) A Loan Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Loan Guaranty, and any Equity Interests of such Loan
Guarantor which have been pledged as Collateral shall be released, upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Loan Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that, if consent
of the Required Lenders is expressly required by this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall have consented to such transaction and the terms of such consent shall not have provided otherwise. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to
this Section, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender to) 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 termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by 

  
 143 








 
the Administrative Agent. Further, the Administrative Agent may (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender to), and upon the request of the Company shall, release any Loan Guarantor
from its obligations under the Loan Guaranty and release its Liens on any Equity Interests of such Loan Guarantor which have been pledged as Collateral if such Loan Guarantor is no longer a Material Restricted Subsidiary or is otherwise no longer
required to be a Loan Party. At such time as the principal and interest on the Loans, all LC Disbursements, the fees, expenses and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents and the other Secured Obligations (other than the Unliquidated
Obligations, Swap Obligations, and other Obligations expressly stated to survive such payment and termination) shall have been paid in full, the Commitments shall have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding (or have been cash
collateralized), the Loan Guaranty and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of each Loan Party thereunder shall automatically terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by
any Person. 
 (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower
Representative only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency. 

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, but subject to the
limitations set forth in Sections 9.21 and 11.14, pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (which, in the case of counsel, shall be limited to the reasonable out-of-pocket fees,
charges and disbursements of one primary U.S. counsel, one primary European counsel and one additional local counsel in each other jurisdiction, in each case, for the Administrative Agent) in connection with the syndication and distribution

Lenders (taken as a whole)), 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

called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, incremental taxes, liabilities and related expenses for any Indemnitee (including the reasonable out-of-pocket
fees, charges and disbursements of one primary U.S. counsel, one primary European counsel and one additional local counsel in each other jurisdiction, in each case, as selected by the Administrative Agent and for all Indemnitees and, in light of
actual or perceived conflicts of interest or the availability of different claims or defenses, one additional counsel for each similarly affected group of Indemnitees (taken as a whole) and, if necessary, one additional local counsel in each
relevant jurisdiction for such affected group of Indemnitees), 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 the 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

or (v) 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 (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its Related Parties, (y) a material breach by such Indemnitee or its Related Parties of its express obligations under the Loan Documents
pursuant to a claim initiated by the Borrowers or (z) disputes solely between or among the Indemnitees not arising from any act or omission by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, it being understood and agreed that the
Administrative Agent and each Lead Arranger fulfilling its role and in its capacity as such, shall remain indemnified in such proceedings. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or
damages arising from any non-Tax claim. 
 (c) To the extent that a Loan Party fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the 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 (it 

  
 145 








 
being understood that the payment by any Lender of any such amount shall not relieve such Loan Party of any default in the payment thereof); 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 the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. 

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any claim against any other
party hereto (i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet) or (ii) on any theory of
liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this paragraph (d) shall relieve any Loan Party of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party. 
 (e) All amounts due under this
Section shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days 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 the Issuing Bank that issues any
Letter of Credit), except that (i) no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such
consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon
any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing 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 Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons (other than an
Ineligible Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) of: 
 (A) the Borrower Representative, provided that, the Borrower Representative shall be
deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof, and provided further 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; 

(B) the Administrative Agent; 

(C) the Issuing Bank; and 

(D) the Swingline Lender. 

  
 146 








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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund 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, provided further, than an assignment of a Global Tranche Commitment or Loan made available to the Dutch Borrower shall not be in an amount less than
€100,000 (or its equivalent in another currency) or such other amount as a result of which the respective assignee qualifies as a professional market party (professionele marktpartij) as defined in the Dutch Financial Supervision Act
(Wet op het Financieel Toezicht); 
 (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate
part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; 
 (C) the parties to each assignment
shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (such fee to be paid by the assignor and/or assignee); 

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in
which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Company, the other 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 and state securities laws; and 

(E) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a counterpart to the Lender Allocation
Agreement; provided, that each Person that executes and delivers an Assignment and Assumption shall automatically be deemed to have consented to the terms of the Lender Allocation Agreement. 

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the terms “Approved Fund” and “Ineligible Institution” have
the following meanings: 
 “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making,
purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate
of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. 
 “Ineligible Institution” means a (a) natural person, (b) a
Defaulting Lender, (c) holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof; provided that, such holding company, investment vehicle or trust shall
not constitute an Ineligible Institution if it (x) has not been established for the primary purpose of acquiring any Loans 

  
 147 








 
or Commitments, (y) is managed by a professional advisor, who is not such natural person or a relative thereof, having significant experience in the business of making or purchasing
commercial loans, and (z) has assets greater than $25,000,000 and a significant part of its activities consist of making or purchasing commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business; or (d) a Loan
Party or a Subsidiary or other Affiliate of a Loan Party. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to
paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption,
have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 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 (c) of this Section. 
 (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for
this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of each Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment
of, and principal amount (and stated interest) 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 absent manifest
error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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 Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the
assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment
required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; 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. 
 (c) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the
Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) other than an Ineligible Institution 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 Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely 

  
 148 








 
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. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(f), (g) and (h) (it being understood that the documentation required
under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender and the information and documentation required under Section 2.17(g) will be delivered to the Company and the Administrative Agent)) to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.18 and 2.19 as if it were an assignee under
paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except
to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. 

Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the
Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.19(b) with respect to any Participant. 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 a non-fiduciary 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 or any other Loan Document (the “Participant
Register”); provided that, no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any
Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in
registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no
responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 (d) Each Person that acquires a Participation shall automatically be deemed to have
consented to the terms of the Lender Allocation Agreement. 
 (e) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or
any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or
assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 SECTION 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 

  
 149 








 
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 the
Administrative Agent, the 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 that has not been cash collateralized (including with the issuance of a
back-up letter of credit in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) 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 other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof. 
 SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic
Execution. (a) 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, the Lender Allocation Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties (provided that, the Lender
Allocation Agreement is only an agreement among the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) 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. 

(b) Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that
reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and
words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in
electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as
provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act. 
 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 any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor against any of and all
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. In respect of a


  
 150 








 
German Borrower, the German Guaranty Limitations shall apply if and to the extent applicable. The applicable Lender shall notify any Borrower 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. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, AT ANY TIME THAT ANY OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE A
RIGHT OF SETOFF, LENDER’S LIEN OR COUNTERCLAIM OR TAKE ANY COURT OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION OR INSTITUTE ANY PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LOAN DOCUMENT UNLESS IT IS TAKEN WITH THE CONSENT OF THE LENDERS REQUIRED BY
SECTION 9.02 OF THIS AGREEMENT, IF SUCH SETOFF OR ACTION OR PROCEEDING WOULD OR MIGHT (PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 580a, 580b, 580d AND 726 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR SECTION 2924 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, IF APPLICABLE, OR OTHERWISE)
AFFECT OR IMPAIR THE VALIDITY, PRIORITY, OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE LIENS GRANTED TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS OR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND ANY ATTEMPTED EXERCISE BY ANY LENDER OF ANY
SUCH RIGHT WITHOUT OBTAINING SUCH CONSENT OF THE PARTIES AS REQUIRED ABOVE, SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF EACH OF THE LENDERS. This Section 9.08 is subject to the limitations set forth in Sections
9.21 and 11.14. 
 SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement and the other
Loan Documents (other than those containing a contrary express choice of law provision) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws (and not the law of conflicts) 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
exclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. Federal or New York State court sitting in New York, 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 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 party to this Agreement 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. Each
Foreign Borrower irrevocably designates and appoints the Company, as its authorized agent, to accept and acknowledge on its behalf, service of any and all process which may be served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in
Section 9.09(b) in any 

  
 151 








 
federal or New York State court sitting in New York City. The Company hereby represents, warrants and confirms that the Company has agreed to accept such appointment (and any similar appointment
by a Loan Guarantor which is a Foreign Subsidiary). Said designation and appointment shall be irrevocable by each such Foreign Borrower until all Loans, all reimbursement obligations, interest thereon and all other amounts payable by such Foreign
Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof. Each Foreign Borrower hereby consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature
referred to in Section 9.09(b) in any federal or New York State court sitting in New York City by service of process upon the Company as provided in this Section 9.09(d). Each Foreign Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, all claim of error by reason of any such service in such manner and agrees that such service shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon such Foreign Borrower in any such suit, action or proceeding and shall,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, be taken and held to be valid and personal service upon and personal delivery to such Foreign Borrower. To the extent any Foreign Borrower has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any
court or from any legal process (whether from service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of a judgment, execution or otherwise), each Foreign Borrower hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its
obligations under the Loan Documents. 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 HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND
(B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT 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

SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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 on a need to

 152 








 
swap or derivative transaction relating to the Loan Parties and their obligations, (g) with the prior written consent of the Borrower Representative or (h) to the extent such

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

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 BORROWERS, 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 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 the 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)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Loan Party, which
information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Act. 

  
 153 








 SECTION 9.15. Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation. 

(a) Each Loan Party acknowledges that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist
financing, government sanction and “know your client” laws (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Lenders may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding
the Loan Parties and their respective directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of the Loan Parties, and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Loan Party shall promptly provide all such
information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or any prospective assignee or participant of a Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML
Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence. 
 (b) If the Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of any Loan Party or any
authorized signatories of the Loan Parties for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Administrative Agent; 

(i) shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written
agreement” in such regard between each Lender and the Administrative Agent within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation; and 

(ii) shall provide to each Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as
to its accuracy or completeness. 
 Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Lenders agrees that
neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Agent has any obligation to ascertain the identity of the Loan Parties or any authorized signatories of the Loan Parties on behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any
information it obtains from any Loan Party or any such authorized signatory in doing so. 
 SECTION 9.16. 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 9.17. Appointment for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent for the purpose
of perfecting Liens, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, in Collateral which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable law can be perfected only by possession or control. Should any
Lender (other than the Administrative Agent) obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such
Collateral to the Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions. 

SECTION 9.18. Interest Rate Limitation. 

(a) 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 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.


  
 154 








 (b) If any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents would obligate any
Loan Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to the Lenders in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by the Lenders of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are
construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provisions, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so
prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by the Lenders of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (1) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the
Lenders under this Agreement, and (2) second, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the Lenders which would constitute “interest” for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code
(Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if the Lenders shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by that section of the Criminal Code (Canada), the Loan Parties
shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent, to obtain reimbursement from the Lenders in an amount equal to such excess and, pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by the Lenders to
the Borrowers. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that the applicable Loan
remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that
period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the Effective Date to the Maturity Date and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be
conclusive for the purposes of such determination. 
 SECTION 9.19. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all
aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other
services regarding this Agreement provided by the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between such Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Lenders and their Affiliates, on the other hand, (B) each Borrower has
consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) each Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions
contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Lenders and their Affiliates is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not,
and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for such Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) no Lender or any of its Affiliates has any obligation to such Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby except, in the case of a Lender, those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of
transactions that involve interests that differ from those of such Borrower and its Affiliates, and no Lender or any of its Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to such Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, each Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against each of the Lenders and their Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any
transaction contemplated hereby. 

  
 155 








 SECTION 9.20. Intercreditor Agreements. Without limiting the authority granted to the
Administrative Agent in Section 8.01 hereof, each Lender (and each Person that becomes a Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 9.04) hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into any Intercreditor Agreement on behalf
of such Lender and agrees that the Administrative Agent may take such actions on its behalf as is contemplated by the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this
Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control. 
 SECTION 9.21. Limitation on Subsidiaries.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Article X and XI) to the contrary, (i) no Foreign Subsidiary or any Domestic Subsidiary owned directly or indirectly by the Foreign Subsidiary shall be the primary
obligor or guarantor (pursuant to Section 10.01, Section 11.01 or otherwise) or pledgor of any assets or otherwise responsible for, in each case, any Secured Obligations incurred by or on behalf of any Domestic Loan Party and (ii) no
Foreign Subsidiary or any Domestic Subsidiary owned directly or indirectly by such Foreign Subsidiary shall be liable hereunder for any of the Loans made to, or any other Secured Obligations incurred by or on behalf of, any Domestic Loan Party. 

ARTICLE X 
 Loan Guaranty of
Domestic Loan Parties 
 SECTION 10.01. Guaranty. Each Loan Guarantor that is a Domestic Loan Party and each Canadian ULC (each
reference to Loan Guarantors in this Article X being limited to such Domestic Loan Parties) (other than those that have delivered a separate Guaranty) hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as a primary obligor and not
merely as surety, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Secured Parties, the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations and, subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 9.03, 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 Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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 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”; provided, however, that the definition of “Guaranteed Obligations”
shall not create any guarantee by any Loan Guarantor of (or grant of security interest by any Loan Guarantor to support, as applicable) any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Loan Guarantor for purposes of determining any obligations of any Loan
Guarantor). 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. 

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 the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to sue any Borrower, any Loan Guarantor, any other guarantor of, 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. 

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 (other than
Unliquidated Obligations)), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, 

  
 156 








 
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 Obligated Party liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, 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, the Administrative Agent, the 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 the Administrative Agent, the 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 Obligated Party liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by the Administrative Agent, the
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 (other than Unliquidated Obligations)). 
 SECTION 10.04. Defenses Waived. To
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any other Loan Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations
from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower, any other Loan Guarantor or any other Obligated Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Unliquidated
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 Loan Guarantor confirms that it is not a surety under any state law and shall not raise any such law as a defense to its obligations
hereunder. The Administrative 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 (other than
Unliquidated Obligations). 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. 

  
 157 








 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 Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders. 
 SECTION 10.06. Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If
at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations (including a payment effected through exercise of a right of setoff) is rescinded, or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of
any Borrower or otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by a Secured Party in its discretion), 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 Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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 Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 10.07. Information. Each Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and
keeping itself informed of each Borrower’s 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 the Administrative Agent, the 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. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank may continue to make loans or extend credit to any Borrower based
on this Loan Guaranty until five (5) 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 such Guaranteed
Obligations. Nothing in this Section 10.08 shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of, or eliminate, limit, reduce or otherwise impair any rights or remedies the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have in respect of, any Default or Event of
Default that may exist under clause (p) of Article VII hereof as a result of any such notice of termination. 
 SECTION 10.09.
Taxes. Each payment of the Guaranteed Obligations will be made by each Loan Guarantor without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by law. If any Loan Guarantor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good
faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Loan Guarantor may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified
Taxes, then the amount payable by such Loan Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding of Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the Administrative
Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made. For purposes of this Section 10.09, the terms “Borrower Representative” and “U.K. Loan Party”
shall be deemed replaced with “Loan Guarantor” in each place such terms appear under Section 2.17(f) and Section 2.17(g). 

  
 158 








 SECTION 10.10. Maximum Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan
Guaranty, the amount guaranteed by each Loan Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the extent, if any, required so that its obligations hereunder shall not be subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any
applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law. In determining the limitations, if any, on the amount of any Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder pursuant to the preceding
sentence, it is the intention of the parties hereto that any rights of subrogation, indemnification or contribution which such Loan Guarantor may have under this Loan Guaranty, any other agreement or applicable law shall be taken into account. 

SECTION 10.11. Contribution. 

(a) To the extent that any Loan Guarantor shall make a payment under this Loan Guaranty (a “Guarantor Payment”) which, taking
into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Loan Guarantor, exceeds the amount which otherwise would have been paid by or attributable to such Loan Guarantor if each Loan Guarantor had paid the
aggregate Guaranteed Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion as such Loan Guarantor’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the
aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Loan Guarantors as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guarantor Payment and the Guaranteed Obligations (other
than Unliquidated Obligations that have not yet arisen), and all Commitments and Letters of Credit have terminated or expired or, in the case of all Letters of Credit, are fully collateralized on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent and the Issuing Bank, and this Agreement has terminated, such Loan Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Loan Guarantor for the amount of such excess,
pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. 
 (b) As of any date of
determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Loan Guarantor shall be equal to the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Loan Guarantor over the total liabilities of such Loan Guarantor (including the maximum amount
reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities, calculated, without duplication, assuming each other Loan Guarantor that is also liable for such contingent liability pays its ratable share thereof), giving effect to all
payments made by other Loan Guarantors as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such contributions. 
 (c) This
Section 10.11 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Loan Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this Section 10.11 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Loan Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any
amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Loan Guaranty. 
 (d) The parties hereto
acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Loan Guarantor or Loan Guarantors to which such contribution and indemnification is owing. 

(e) The rights of the indemnifying Loan Guarantors against other Loan Guarantors under this Section 10.11 shall be exercisable upon the
full and indefeasible payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in cash (other than Unliquidated Obligations that have not yet arisen) and the termination or expiry (or, in the case of all Letters of Credit, full cash collateralization), on terms
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, of the Commitments and all Letters of Credit issued hereunder and the termination of this Agreement. 

  
 159 








 SECTION 10.12. 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 Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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 10.13. Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor that is a Loan Guarantor under this Article X 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 any Loan Guarantee in respect of a Specified Swap
Obligation (provided, however, that each such Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 10.13 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this
Section 10.13 or otherwise under any Loan Guaranty voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). Except as otherwise provided herein, the obligations of each such
Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 10.13 shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of all Specified Swap Obligations. Each such Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 10.13 constitute, and this
Section 10.13 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 
 Loan Guaranty of
Foreign Loan Parties 
 SECTION 11.01. Guaranty. Subject to Section 11.14 hereof, each Loan Guarantor that is a Foreign Loan
Party other than the Canadian ULCs (each reference to Loan Guarantors in this Article XI being limited to such Foreign Loan Parties) hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as a primary obligor and not merely as surety,
absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Secured Parties, the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Foreign Secured Obligations, and, subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 9.03, 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 Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Foreign Secured Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, any Foreign Borrower, any Loan Guarantor or any other
guarantor of all or any part of the Foreign Secured Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Secured Obligations, collectively the “Guaranteed Obligations”; provided, however, that the definition of
“Guaranteed Obligations” shall not create any guarantee by any Loan Guarantor of (or grant of security interest by any Loan Guarantor to support, as applicable) any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Loan Guarantor for purposes of
determining any obligations of any Loan Guarantor). 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. 
 SECTION 11.02. Guaranty of Payment. This Loan Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Loan
Guarantor waives any right to require the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to sue any Borrower, any Loan Guarantor, any other guarantor of, 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. 

  
 160 








 SECTION 11.03. 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 (other than Unliquidated 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 Obligated Party liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, 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, the Administrative Agent, the 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 the Administrative Agent, the 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 Obligated Party liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by the Administrative Agent, the 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 (other
than Unliquidated Obligations)). 
 SECTION 11.04. 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 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, any Loan Guarantor or any other Obligated Party, 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 Loan Guarantor confirms that it is not a surety under any state law and shall not raise any such law as a defense to its obligations hereunder. The Administrative 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 (other than Unliquidated Obligations). 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. 

  
 161 








 SECTION 11.05. 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 Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders. 
 SECTION 11.06. Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If
at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations (including a payment effected through exercise of a right of setoff) is rescinded, or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of
any Borrower or otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by a Secured Party in its discretion), 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 Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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 Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 11.07. Information. Each Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and
keeping itself informed of each Borrower’s 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 the Administrative Agent, the 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 11.08. Termination. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank may continue to make loans or extend credit to any Borrower based
on this Loan Guaranty until five (5) 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 such Guaranteed
Obligations. Nothing in this Section 11.08 shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of, or eliminate, limit, reduce or otherwise impair any rights or remedies the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have in respect of, any Default or Event of
Default that may exist under clause (p) of Article VII hereof as a result of any such notice of termination. 
 SECTION 11.09.
Taxes. Each payment of the Guaranteed Obligations will be made by each Loan Guarantor without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by law. If any Loan Guarantor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good
faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Loan Guarantor may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified
Taxes, then the amount payable by such Loan Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding of Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the Administrative
Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made. For purposes of this Section 11.09, the terms “Borrower Representative” and “U.K. Loan Party”
shall be deemed replaced with “Loan Guarantor” in each place such terms appear under Section 2.17(f) and Section 2.17(g). 

  
 162 








 SECTION 11.10. Maximum Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan
Guaranty, the amount guaranteed by each Loan Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the extent, if any, required so that its obligations hereunder shall not be subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any
applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law. In determining the limitations, if any, on the amount of any Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder pursuant to the preceding
sentence, it is the intention of the parties hereto that any rights of subrogation, indemnification or contribution which such Loan Guarantor may have under this Loan Guaranty, any other agreement or applicable law shall be taken into account. 

SECTION 11.11. Contribution. 

(a) To the extent that any Loan Guarantor shall make a payment under this Loan Guaranty (a “Guarantor Payment”) which, taking
into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Loan Guarantor, exceeds the amount which otherwise would have been paid by or attributable to such Loan Guarantor if each Loan Guarantor had paid the
aggregate Guaranteed Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion as such Loan Guarantor’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the
aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Loan Guarantors as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guarantor Payment and the Guaranteed Obligations (other
than Unliquidated Obligations that have not yet arisen), and all Commitments and Letters of Credit have terminated or expired or, in the case of all Letters of Credit, are fully collateralized on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent and the Issuing Bank, and this Agreement has terminated, such Loan Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Loan Guarantor for the amount of such excess,
pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. 
 (b) As of any date of
determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Loan Guarantor shall be equal to the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Loan Guarantor over the total liabilities of such Loan Guarantor (including the maximum amount
reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities, calculated, without duplication, assuming each other Loan Guarantor that is also liable for such contingent liability pays its ratable share thereof), giving effect to all
payments made by other Loan Guarantors as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such contributions. 
 (c) This
Section 11.11 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Loan Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this Section 11.11 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Loan Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any
amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Loan Guaranty. 
 (d) The parties hereto
acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Loan Guarantor or Loan Guarantors to which such contribution and indemnification is owing. 

(e) The rights of the indemnifying Loan Guarantors against other Loan Guarantors under this Section 10.11 shall be exercisable upon the
full and indefeasible payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in cash (other than Unliquidated Obligations that have not yet arisen) and the termination or expiry (or, in the case of all Letters of Credit, full cash collateralization), on terms
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, of the Commitments and all Letters of Credit issued hereunder and the termination of this Agreement. 

  
 163 








 SECTION 11.12. Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Loan Party as a Loan Guarantor
under this Article XI is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Loan Party to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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 11.13. Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor that is a Loan Guarantor under this Article XI hereby jointly and severally
absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party that is a Loan Guarantor under this Article XI to honor all of its obligations under this Loan
Guaranty in respect of a Specified Swap Obligation (provided, however, that each such Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 11.13 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without
rendering its obligations under this Section 11.13 or otherwise under this Loan Guaranty voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). Except as otherwise provided
herein, the obligations of each such Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 11.13 shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of all Specified Swap Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor that is a Loan Guarantor under
this Article XI intends that this Section 11.13 constitute, and this Section 11.13 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party that is a Loan Guarantor under
this Article XI for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. This Section 11.13 is subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.21. 

SECTION 11.14. German Guaranty Limitations. 

(a) Limitation. The Administrative Agent agrees to restrict the enforcement of the guarantee or any indemnity granted by each German
Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement and any joint and several liability assumed hereunder (together, the “Security”) if and to the extent that (i) such Security secures any liabilities of such German Loan Party’s direct
or indirect shareholder(s) (upstream) or any entity affiliated to such shareholder (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of Section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) (cross-stream) (other than the
liabilities of any of such German Loan Party’s Subsidiaries and, for the avoidance of doubt, such German Loan Party’s own liabilities) and (ii) the enforcement of such Security would cause the amount of such German Loan Party’s
net assets (Reinvermögen), as adjusted pursuant to the following provisions, to fall below the amount of its registered share capital (Stammkapital) (Begründung einer Unterbilanz) or to increase any already existing
capital impairment (Vertiefung einer Unterbilanz) in violation of Sections 30 and 31 of the German Limited Liability Company Act (GmbHG), (each such event is hereinafter referred to as a “Capital Impairment”) or would
deprive such German Loan Party of the liquidity necessary to fulfill its liabilities towards its creditors (a “Liquidity Impairment”). For the purposes of the calculation of a Capital Impairment for any German Loan Party, the
following balance sheet items shall be adjusted as follows: (a) the amount of any increase of such German Loan Party’s registered share capital after the date of this Agreement that has been effected without prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent shall be deducted from such German Loan Party’s registered share capital; (b) loans provided to such German Loan Party shall be disregarded if and to the extent such loans are subordinated or are considered
subordinated by operation of law and such loans are not shown in the balance sheet as liability of the German Loan Party; (c) loans or other contractual liabilities incurred in violation of the provisions of the Loan Documents shall be
disregarded; (d) non-distributable assets (§ 268 (8) of the German Commercial Code) shall be disregarded (i.e. deducted); and (e) the net assets shall take into account the costs of the Auditor’s Determination (as defined
below) either as a reduction of assets or an increase of liabilities. 

  
 164 








 (b) Disposal of Relevant Assets. In a situation where any German Loan Party would not have
sufficient assets to maintain its registered share capital after satisfaction (in whole or in part) of the relevant demand, such German Loan Party shall dispose of all assets, to the extent legally permitted and to the extent necessary to satisfy
the amounts demanded under the Security granted by such German Loan Party which are not necessary for its business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) on market terms where the relevant assets are shown in the balance sheet of such German Loan Party
with a book value which is significantly lower than the market value of such assets, unless such disposal would not be commercially justifiable, provided that the Administrative Agent consents to the fact that a disposal would not be commercially
justifiable. 
 (c) Management Notification/Auditor’s Determination. 

(i) The limitation pursuant to this Section 11.14 shall apply, subject to the following requirements, if, following a
notice by the Administrative Agent that it intends to enforce any Security or a demand by the Administrative Agent under any such Security, the applicable German Loan Party notifies the Administrative Agent (“Management
Notification”) within fifteen (15) days upon receipt of the relevant notice or demand that a Capital Impairment or Liquidity Impairment would occur (setting out in reasonable detail to what extent a Capital Impairment or Liquidity
Impairment would occur and providing prima facie evidence that a realisation or other measures undertaken in accordance with the mitigation provisions set out above would not prevent such Capital Impairment or Liquidity Impairment); provided
that until and including the earlier of (x) the date falling fifteen (15) Business Days after the notice or demand of the Administrative Agent regarding the enforcement of any Security and (y) the date of delivery of the Management
Notification to the Administrative Agent, the right to enforce such Security (whether in full or in part) shall be suspended. 

(ii) If the Management Notification is contested by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall nevertheless be
entitled to enforce any Security granted under this Agreement up to such amount, which is, based on the Management Notification, undisputed between itself and the applicable German Loan Party. In relation to the amount which is in dispute, the
applicable German Loan Party undertakes (at its own cost and expense) to arrange for the preparation of a balance sheet by its auditors in order to have such auditors determine whether (and if so, to what extent) any payment under the Security would
cause a Capital Impairment or Liquidity Impairment (the “Auditor’s Determination”). The Auditor’s Determination shall be prepared, taking into account the adjustments set out above in relation to the calculation of a
Capital Impairment, by applying the generally accepted accounting principles applicable from time to time in Germany (Grundsätze ordnungsmäßiger Buchführung) based on the same principles and evaluation methods as
consistently applied by the applicable German Loan Party in the preparation of its financial statements, in particular in the preparation of its most recent annual balance sheet, and taking into consideration applicable court rulings of German
courts. The applicable German Loan Party shall provide the Auditor’s Determination to the Administrative Agent within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as has been agreed between the Borrower Representative and the Administrative
Agent) from the date on which the Administrative Agent contested the Management Notification in writing. The Auditor’s Determination shall be binding on the applicable German Loan Party and the Administrative Agent. 

(iii) If, and to the extent that, any Security has been enforced without regard to the limitation set forth in this
Section 11.14 because the amount of the available net assets or liquidity pursuant to the Auditor’s Determination is lower than the amount stated in the Management Notification, the Administrative Agent shall upon written demand of the
applicable German Loan Party to the Administrative Agent repay any amount (if and to the extent already paid to the 

  
 165 








 
Administrative Agent) up to and including the amount calculated in the Auditor’s Determination in accordance with this Section 11.14, provided such demand for repayment is made
to the Administrative Agent within six (6) months (Ausschlussfrist) from the date such Security has been enforced. 

(iv) If pursuant to the Auditor’s Determination the amount of the available net assets or liquidity is higher than set out
in the Management Notification, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to enforce into such available net assets accordingly. 
 (d)
Exceptions. Notwithstanding the above, the limitations pursuant to this Section 11.14 shall not apply to any German Loan Party: 

(i) if such German Loan Party is party as dominated entity (beherrschtes Unternehmen) of a domination agreement
(Beherrschungsvertrag) and/or a profit and loss transfer agreement (Gewinnabführungsvertrag) pursuant to Section 30, paragraph 1, sentence 2 of the German Limited Liability Company Act (GmbHG) and payment by or enforcement against the
German Loan Party would not violate Section 30, paragraph 1 GmbHG; provided, that the limitations pursuant to this Section 11.14 shall apply if the dominating entity is insolvent or payment by the dominated entity would result in
the insolvency of the dominated entity; 
 (ii) if such German Loan Party has a recourse right
(Rückgewähranspruch) pursuant to Section 30, paragraph 1, sentence 2 of the German Limited Liability Company Act (GmbHG) which is fully recoverable (werthaltig); 

(iii) if such German Loan Party fails to deliver the Management Notification and/or the Auditor’s Determination pursuant
to this Section 11.14 in the required timeframe, unless such German Loan Party proves in a court proceeding that the disputed amount is necessary for maintaining its registered share capital; 

(iv) to any amounts borrowed under the Loan Documents to the extent the proceeds of such borrowing are on-lent to such German
Loan Party or its Subsidiaries to the extent that any amounts so on-lent are still outstanding at the time the relevant demand is made against such German Loan Party and the repayment of such loans as a result of such on-lending is not prohibited by
law; or 
 (v) to any amounts borrowed under the Loan Documents by such German Loan Party to the extent that any amounts so
borrowed are still outstanding at the time the relevant demand for repayment is made against such German Loan Party. 
 ARTICLE XII 

The Borrower Representative. 

SECTION 12.01. 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, the Borrowers hereby appoint the Borrower Representative as their agent to receive all of the proceeds of the Loans in the Funding Account(s), at which time the Borrower Representative shall promptly disburse such Loans to the
appropriate Borrower(s). The Administrative Agent and the Lenders, 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 12.01. 

  
 166 








 SECTION 12.02. 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 12.03. Employment of Agents. The Borrower Representative may execute any of its duties as the Borrower Representative hereunder
and under any other Loan Document by or through authorized officers. 
 SECTION 12.04. Notices. Each Borrower shall promptly notify
the Borrower Representative of the occurrence of any Default hereunder referring to this Agreement describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Borrower Representative receives such a
notice, the Borrower Representative shall give prompt notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Any notice provided to the Borrower Representative hereunder shall constitute notice to each Borrower on the date received by the
Borrower Representative. 
 SECTION 12.05. Successor Borrower Representative. Upon the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower Representative may resign at any time, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Borrower Representative. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt written notice of such resignation to the Lenders.

 SECTION 12.06. Execution of Loan Documents; Borrowing Base Certificate. The Borrowers hereby empower and authorize the Borrower
Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers, to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders the Loan Documents and all related agreements, certificates, documents, or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the
purposes of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Borrowing Base Certificates and the Compliance Certificates. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken by the Borrower Representative or the Borrowers in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Borrower Representative of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the
Borrowers. 
 SECTION 12.07. Reporting. Each Borrower hereby agrees that such Borrower shall furnish promptly after each fiscal month
or week, as applicable, to the Borrower Representative any certificate or report required hereunder or requested by the Borrower Representative on which the Borrower Representative shall rely to prepare the Borrowing Base Certificate and Compliance
Certificate required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 12.08. Representation of Dutch Loan Party. If, in
respect of a Dutch Loan Party, this Agreement or any other Loan Document is signed or executed by another Person (a “Dutch Attorney-in-Fact”) acting on behalf of such Dutch Loan Party pursuant to a power of attorney executed and
delivered by such Dutch Loan Party, it is hereby expressly acknowledged and accepted by the other parties to this Agreement or any other Loan Document that the existence and extent of such Attorney-in-Fact’s authority and the effects of such
Attorney-in-Fact’s exercise or purported exercise of his or her authority shall be governed by the laws of the Netherlands. 

  
 167 








 ARTICLE XIII 

Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness. 

SECTION 13.01. Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness. Each Loan Party agrees that any and all claims of such Loan Party against
any Loan Party (each an “Obligor”) with respect to any “Intercompany Indebtedness” (as hereinafter defined), any endorser, obligor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or against any of its
properties shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment, in full and in cash, of all Guaranteed Obligations; provided that, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Loan Party may receive
payments of principal and interest from any Obligor with respect to Intercompany Indebtedness. Notwithstanding any right of any Loan Party to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from any Obligor, all rights, liens and security
interests of such Loan Party, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of any other Obligor shall be and are subordinated to the rights of the Secured Parties in those assets. No Loan Party shall have any right to
possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully paid and satisfied (in cash) and all financing arrangements pursuant
to any Loan Document, any Swap Agreement or any Banking Services Agreement have been terminated. If all or any part of the assets of any Obligor, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or application to the creditors of
such Obligor, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, administration, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding, or if the
business of any such Obligor is dissolved or if substantially all of the assets of any such Obligor are sold pursuant to any such proceeding, then, and in any such event (such events being herein referred to as an “Insolvency Event”), any
payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any indebtedness of any Obligor to any Loan Party (“Intercompany Indebtedness”)
shall be paid or delivered directly to the Administrative Agent for application on any of the Guaranteed Obligations, due or to become due, until such Guaranteed Obligations shall have first been fully paid and satisfied (in cash). Should any
payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by the applicable Loan Party upon or with respect to the Intercompany Indebtedness after any Insolvency Event and prior to the satisfaction of all of the Guaranteed
Obligations and the termination of all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document among the Secured Parties, such Loan Party shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith
deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of the Loan Party where necessary), for application to any of the Guaranteed Obligations,
due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by the Loan Party as the property of the Secured Parties. If any such Loan Party fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent or any of its officers or employees is irrevocably authorized to make the same.
