used or unused) as of the date hereof; and 
 (iv) all documents and other evidence set out in Schedule 2 hereto. 

C. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together

 3 








 
agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile, PDF file or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Amendment. 
 Section 5.    EFFECT OF THIS AMENDMENT. 

A. None of this Amendment, the Existing Credit Agreement, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or any other Finance Document shall
release, limit or impair in any way the priority of any Security held by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent for the benefit of all or any Lenders or other Secured Parties against any assets of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries
arising under the Existing Credit Agreement, the Security Documents or any other Finance Document, in each case as such documents may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time. 

B. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of, or
otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent under the Existing Credit Agreement, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or any other Finance Document. Nothing herein shall be deemed to
entitle any Finance Party to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement, the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement or any other Finance Document in similar or different circumstances. 
 C. This Amendment shall constitute a “Finance
Document” for all purposes of the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Finance Documents, and all references in the Existing Credit Agreement to “this Agreement” shall mean the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (and as may be
further amended, modified or supplemented from time to time). 
 Section 6.    INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE. 

The provisions of Sections 9.05, 9.07, 9.11 and 9.15 of the Existing Credit Agreement pertaining to expenses, indemnity, applicable law
construction, waiver of jury trial, and consent to jurisdiction and service of process are hereby incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis. 

Section 7.    GUARANTEE AND SECURITY INTEREST CONFIRMATION. 

A. Each Obligor hereby (i) agrees that, notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Amendment or of the Existing Credit Agreement as amended by
this Amendment, the Security Documents continue to be in full force and effect, and (ii) affirms and confirms each of their guarantees of the Obligations and the pledge of and/or grant of a security interest in


  
 4 








 
their assets as Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents to secure such Obligations, as provided in the Security Documents as originally executed, and acknowledges and agrees that such
guarantee, pledge and grant continue in full force and effect in respect of, and to secure, such Obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. 

B. The above confirmations are made by each Obligor on the date hereof (or, if later, the date on which the relevant Obligor becomes a party
hereto) and on the Amendment Effective Date. 
 Section 8.     UNDERTAKINGS 

A. The Borrower will procure that each Guarantor agrees and accepts the terms of this Amendment by delivering to the Administrative Agent on or
before the Amendment Effective Date (i) an accession letter in the form set out in Schedule 3, duly executed by each Guarantor and the Administrative Agent on its behalf and on behalf of the other Finance Parties (an “Accession
Letter”) and (ii) the conditions precedent referred to in Schedule 2 applicable to it. 
 B. The Borrower shall, and shall procure
that all members of the Group shall, take all steps required in order to perfect the Security created or intended to be created under or evidenced by the Security Documents (which may include the execution of a mortgage, charge, assignment or other
Security over all or any of the assets which are, or are intended to be, the subject of the Transaction Security) or for the exercise of any rights, powers and remedies of the Collateral Agent or the Finance Parties provided by or pursuant to the
Finance Documents or by law (i) as required pursuant to a request notified by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent to the Borrower on the basis of advice received from legal counsel and subject to the Agreed Security Principles and (ii)
as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such request; provided that the Borrower shall be under no obligation to take any such step if the relevant Security Document provides that it has no obligation to take such
step. For the avoidance of doubt, non-compliance by the Borrower with its obligations under this Section 8 shall constitute an Event of Default under Article VII of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. 

Section 9.     TERMINATION 

This Amendment shall terminate at 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on February 29, 2016, if the Amendment Effective Date has not occurred by that

A. All Lenders hereby authorize and direct each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver amendments to any
Security Document and to execute and deliver any and all such further documents as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the amendments in Section 2 above or any of the conditions precedent related
thereto.

 B. The Lenders party hereto acknowledge that (i) they have reviewed the Amendment and Restatement
Agreement N°3 (as defined in the Restated French Revolving Facility Agreement) and the Restated French Revolving Facility Agreement (collectively, the “French Facility Amendments”) and (ii) after giving effect to this Amendment,
the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Amendment and Restatement Agreement N°3 (as defined in the Restated French Revolving Facility Agreement) and the Restated French Revolving Facility Agreement, the French Facility Amendments,
including the provisions related to the New IBR (as defined in the French Consent Response Letter) in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, do not violate Section 5.20(e) of the Existing Credit Agreement or the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement. 
 C. The Lenders party hereto hereby authorize and direct the Administrative Agent to deliver a letter in the form set out in
Schedule 5 to the Agent (as defined in the Restated French Revolving Facility Agreement) on or prior to the Amendment Effective Date.

 ARTICLE II 

The Credits 

SECTION 2.01. Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties
herein set forth, each Revolving Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower, at any time and from time to time on or after the Original Effective Date, and until the earlier of the Revolving Credit
Maturity Date and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (x) such Lender’s Revolving Credit
Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment or (y) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments. Within the limits set forth in the preceding sentence
and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans. 

SECTION 2.02. Loans. (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by
the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being
understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Except for Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.02(f), the Loans comprising any
Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments. 

(b) Subject to Sections 2.02(f), 2.08 and 2.15, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the
Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that, subject to Section 2.21(b), any
exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that no
Borrower shall be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than 10 Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any time. For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of
whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings. 
 (c) Except with respect to Loans made pursuant to
Section 2.02(f), each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than
1:00 p.m., New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any
condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders. 

  
 43 








 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of
any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the
date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made
funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding
amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum
equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or
short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such
Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. 
 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
no Borrower shall be entitled to request any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. 

(f) If any Issuing Bank shall not have received from the Borrower the payment required to be made by Section 2.22(e) within the time
specified in such Section, such Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the L/C Disbursement and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of such L/C Disbursement and its Revolving Pro Rata Percentage thereof.
Each such Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 (noon), New York
City time, on any day, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement (it being understood that (i) if the
conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in Sections 4.01(b) and (c) have been satisfied, such amount shall be deemed to constitute an ABR Revolving Loan of such Lender and, to the extent of such payment, the obligations of the Borrower in
respect of such L/C Disbursement shall be discharged and replaced with the resulting ABR Borrowing, and (ii) if such conditions precedent to borrowing have not been satisfied, then any such amount paid by any Lender shall not constitute a Loan
and shall not relieve the Borrower from its obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement), and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will
promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.22(e) prior to the time that any Lender makes any payment pursuant to this paragraph (f); any such amounts received by the
Administrative Agent thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made such payments and to the applicable Issuing Bank, as their interests may appear. If any Lender shall not have made its
Revolving Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the


  
 44 








 
date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this paragraph to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank
at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans of the applicable Class pursuant to Section 2.06(a), and (ii) in the case of such Lender, for the first such day, the Federal Funds
Effective Rate, and for each day thereafter, the Alternate Base Rate. 
 SECTION 2.03. Borrowing Procedure. In order
to request a Borrowing (other than a deemed Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(f), as to which this Section 2.03 shall not apply), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a
Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing, and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, the same day as a proposed
Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or fax to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request and shall specify the following information: (i) whether
such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed; (iv) the amount of
such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested
Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect
to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice
given pursuant to this Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing. 

SECTION 2.04. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower hereby
unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. 

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

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and
Type thereof and, if applicable, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum
received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower or any Guarantor and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (d) The entries
made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall, absent manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the 

  
 45 








 
obligations therein recorded; provided, however, 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 obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms. 
 (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by
it hereunder be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request and receive such a promissory note, the interests represented by such note shall at all times (including after any
assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns. 

SECTION 2.05. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), through the
Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December in each year and on each date on which any Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (the
“Commitment Fee”) equal to 0.50% per annum on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing with the Original Effective Date or ending with
the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender shall expire or be terminated). All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360
days. 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the administrative fees set forth in the Fee
Letter at the times and in the amounts specified therein (the “Administrative Agent Fees”). 
 (c) The Borrower
agrees to pay (i) to each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such
Lender shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (an “L/C Participation Fee”) calculated on such Lender’s Revolving Pro Rata Percentage of the daily aggregate L/C Exposure (excluding the portion thereof attributable
to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the Original Effective Date or ending with the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the date on which all Letters of Credit have been canceled or have
expired and the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments of all applicable Lenders shall have been terminated) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Percentage from time to time used to determine the interest rate on Borrowings comprised of
Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 2.06 and (ii) to each Issuing Bank, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, for its own account, the standard fronting, issuance and drawing fees specified from time to time
by such Issuing Bank (the “Issuing Bank Fees”); provided that the fronting fees payable in respect of any Letter of Credit shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of the daily undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit. All
L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. 

  
 46 








 (d) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the
Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that the Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Bank. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances. 

SECTION 2.06. Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each
ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of
360 days at all other times and calculated from and including the date of such Borrowing to but excluding the date of repayment thereof) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to
time. 
 (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on
the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time. 

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.07. Default Interest. If the Borrower shall default in the payment of any
principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount due hereunder, by acceleration or otherwise, or under any other Finance Document, then, until such defaulted amount shall have been paid in full, to the extent permitted by law, all amounts
outstanding under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents shall bear interest (after as well as before judgment), payable on demand, (a) in the case of principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 plus
2.00% per annum and (b) in all other cases, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360
days at all other times) equal to the rate that would be applicable to an ABR Revolving Loan plus 2.00% per annum. 
 SECTION
2.08. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Administrative Agent shall have
determined that dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market, or that the rates at which such dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and
fairly reflect the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining its Eurodollar Loan during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable
thereafter, give written or fax notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise
to such notice no longer exist, any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing. Each determination by the Administrative Agent under this
Section 2.08 shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 47 








 SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Revolving
Credit Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The L/C Commitment shall automatically terminate on the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of all of the Revolving Credit Commitments and
(ii) the date five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. 
 (b) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior
irrevocable written or fax notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent), the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce the
Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and (ii) the Total Revolving
Credit Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure at the time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement and subject to Section 2.16, the Borrower may
rescind any notice of termination under this Section 2.09 if such termination would have resulted from a refinancing of all of the relevant Loans, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed. 

(c) Each reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective
applicable Commitments. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction of any Revolving Credit Commitments, the Commitment Fees on the amount of the
Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to but excluding the date of such termination or reduction. 
 SECTION
2.10. Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings. The Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, one
Business Day prior to conversion, to convert any Eurodollar Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing, (b) not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a
Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue any Eurodollar Borrowing as a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, and (c) not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the
Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the following: 

(i) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal
amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing; 
 (ii) if less than all the outstanding principal
amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type;


  
 48 








 (iii) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the Administrative
Agent by recording for the account of such Lender the new Loan of such Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount; and accrued interest on any
Eurodollar Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion; 
 (iv) if any
Eurodollar Borrowing is converted at a time other than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16; 

(v) any portion of a Borrowing maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued
as a Eurodollar Borrowing; 
 (vi) any portion of a Eurodollar Borrowing that cannot be converted into or continued as a
Eurodollar Borrowing by reason of the immediately preceding clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing; 

(vii) upon notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Majority Lenders, after the
occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, (x) no outstanding Loan may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar Loan and (y) each outstanding Eurodollar Borrowing shall be automatically converted at the end of
the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing. 
 Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be
irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar
Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the
Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one
month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10 and of each such Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If the Borrower shall not have
given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall,
at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be continued into an ABR Borrowing. 

SECTION 2.11. [Reserved]. 

SECTION 2.12. Optional Prepayment. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any
Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax 

  
 49 








 
notice) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) at least one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment in
the case of ABR Loans, to the Administrative Agent before 12:00 noon, New York City time; provided, however, that (i) each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and
(ii) at the Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12(a), such prepayment may not, so long as no Event of Default then exists, be applied to any Revolving Loan of a Defaulting
Lender. 
 (b) Each notice of prepayment shall specify (i) the prepayment date, (ii) the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion
thereof) to be prepaid and (iii) the Class of Loans to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable (provided that such notice may be conditioned on receiving the proceeds of any refinancing) and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the
amount stated therein on the date stated therein. All prepayments under Section 2.12(a) shall be subject to Section 2.16 but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under Section 2.12(a) (other than prepayments of ABR
Revolving Loans that are not made in connection with the termination or permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments) shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of
payment. 
 SECTION 2.13. Mandatory Prepayments. (a) In the event of any termination of all the Commitments,
the Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all its outstanding Borrowings and replace or cause to be canceled (or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank with respect
to) all outstanding Letters of Credit. If, after giving effect to any partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments or at any other time, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, then
the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction or at such other time, repay or prepay Borrowings and, after such Borrowings shall have been repaid or prepaid in full, replace or cause to be canceled (or make other arrangements reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank with respect to) Letters of Credit in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. 

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within three Business Days of such Prepayment
Event) repay outstanding Borrowings (or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit) in an amount equal to the Amount To Be Prepaid and a corresponding amount of
the Commitments will be permanently canceled (and may not be reborrowed). 
 (c) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, to
the extent practicable, at least three Business Days’ prior written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Class and Type of each Loan being prepaid and the aggregate principal amount of each
Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.13 shall be subject to Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on
the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment. 

  
 50 








 SECTION 2.14. Reserve Requirements; Change in
Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with
or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender or any Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or shall impose on such Lender or such Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any
other condition (including, in each case, the imposition of Taxes other than Taxes (i) imposed on any payment made pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) measured by net income or profits, franchise, branch profits) affecting this Agreement or
Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or increase
the cost to any Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or purchasing or maintaining a participation therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal,
interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender or any
Issuing Bank shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or liquidity or on the capital or
liquidity of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made or participations in Letters of Credit purchased by such Lender pursuant hereto or the Letters of Credit issued
by such Issuing Bank pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such
Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to be
material, then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s
holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay
such Lender or such Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same. 

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts
received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be under any obligation to compensate
any Lender or any Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) above with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 120 days prior to 

  
 51 








 
such request if such Lender or such Issuing Bank knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that
such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs or reductions; provided further that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the
retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 120-day period. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender and each Issuing Bank regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the
Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed. 
 SECTION 2.15. Change in
Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender (or any Affiliate of such Lender) to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its
obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent: 

(i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such
Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans, whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a
Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to
convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and 

(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all
such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below. 
 In
the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the
converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans. 

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.15, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such
Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower. 

SECTION 2.16. Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain
or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal
of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any


  
 52 








 
Eurodollar Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor or (iii) any Eurodollar Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Loan to be
made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a
“Breakage Event”) or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment required to be made hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably
determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would
have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period; provided that for the avoidance
of doubt, the proviso at the end of the definition of Adjusted LIBO Rate shall not be taken into account when calculating such loss. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to
this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.17. Pro
Rata Treatment. Except as required under Section 2.15, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Commitment Fees, each reduction of the Revolving
Credit Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments
shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent
may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount. 
 SECTION
2.18. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or any other Obligor, or pursuant to a secured claim under
Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by
any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan or Loans or L/C Disbursement as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements shall be proportionately less than
the unpaid principal portion of the Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase
price for, a participation in the Loans and L/C Exposure of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and L/C Exposure and participations in Loans and L/C Exposure held by each Lender shall be in the same
proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans and L/C Exposure then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans and L/C Exposure prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the
principal amount of all Loans and L/C Exposure outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that (i) if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made
pursuant to this Section 2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, 

  
 53 








 
such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest and (ii) the provisions of
this Section 2.18 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Obligor 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 to any assignee or participant. The Borrower and Parent expressly consent to the foregoing arrangements and agree that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan or L/C Disbursement deemed to have been so
purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower and Parent to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the
Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 SECTION 2.19. Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment
(including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any L/C Disbursement or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Finance Document not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the date when due in immediately
available dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Each such payment (other than Issuing Bank Fees, which shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Bank) shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at Eleven Madison
Avenue, New York, NY 10010. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after such time shall be deemed received on the next Business Day (in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion) and any applicable interest shall continue to
accrue. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender. 

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or
other amounts) hereunder or under any other Finance Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case
be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable. 
 (c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from
the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower
has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower does not in fact make such
payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, and to pay interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is distributed to it but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error). 
 SECTION 2.20. Taxes. (a) Except as required by applicable law, any and
all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Obligor hereunder or under any other Finance Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided that, if the
Borrower or any other Obligor shall be required to deduct or 

  
 54 








 
withhold any Indemnified Taxes or from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including
deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made,
(ii) the Borrower or such Obligor shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the Borrower or such Obligor shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Government Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Government Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of
any Indemnified Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Obligor hereunder or under any other Finance Document
(including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (other than any sums arising
solely as a result of the misconduct or negligence of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Government Authority. A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself or a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In the event that any sums are returned
to the Administrative Agent or a Lender by the relevant Government Authority in respect of any Indemnified Taxes, penalties, interests or other amounts referred to in this paragraph (c) for which the Borrower has indemnified the Administrative Agent
or such Lender, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, will promptly return such sums to the Borrower. This Section 2.20(c) shall not apply to any Taxes to the extent the Borrower or any Obligor has made a payment in respect of
such Taxes pursuant to Section 2.20(b). 
 (d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the
case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) attributable to such Lender that are
paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement or any Finance 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 Government Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.20(d) shall be paid within 10 days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the
Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable 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 Finance Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d). 

  
 55 








 (e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by the Borrower or any other
Obligor to a Government Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Government Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other
evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (f) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption
from or reduction of U.S. Federal withholding tax (including U.S. Federal backup withholding tax) with respect to payments under this Agreement or any other Finance Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or
times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at
a reduced rate. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as
will enable the Borrower 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 2.20(f)(ii)(A), (B) and (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, 

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower 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 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 the 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 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 hereunder or under any other Finance Document, executed
originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, 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 hereunder or under any Finance Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, 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; 


  
 56 









	 	(2)	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 I-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 the 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 W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or 


 

	 	(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, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in
the form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-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 I-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 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 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 Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction to be made; and 
 (D) if a payment made to a Lender
under any Finance 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 and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the 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 paragraph (f)(ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 (g) For
purposes of this Section 2.20, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank. 

  
 57 








 (h) For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the
Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Loans as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of
Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i). 
 SECTION 2.21. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to
Mitigate. (a) In the event (i) any Lender or any Issuing Bank delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender or any Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in
Section 2.15, (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Issuing Bank or any Government Authority on account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.20, (iv) any Lender refuses to
consent to (x) any Loan Modification Offer or (y) any other amendment, waiver or other modification of any Finance Document requested by the Borrower that, in the case of clause (y), requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than
the Majority Lenders and such Loan Modification Offer or other amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the Majority Lenders (or in the case of a Loan Modification Offer, a majority in interest of the affected Class) or (v) any
Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then, in each case, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender or such Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender or such Issuing Bank to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests,
rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, in the case of clause (iv) or (v) above, all of its interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, amendment, waiver or
other modification or in respect of which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender) to an assignee permitted hereunder that shall assume such assigned obligations and, with respect to clause (iv) above, shall consent to such requested amendment, waiver or
other modification of any Finance Documents (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other
Government Authority having jurisdiction, (y) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (z) the Borrower
or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender or Issuing Bank in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans of the applicable Class
or the outstanding L/C Disbursements of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, respectively, plus (except, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, any Fees not required to be paid to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the express provisions of this
Agreement) all Fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder with respect thereto (including any amounts under Sections 2.14 and 2.16); provided further that, if prior to any such transfer
and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s claim for compensation under Section 2.14, notice under Section 2.15 or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case
may be, cease to cause such Lender or such Issuing Bank to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.15, or cease to result
in amounts being payable under Section 2.20, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender or such Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (b) below), or if such Lender or such Issuing


  
 58 








 
Bank shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.14 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.15 or shall waive its
right to further payments under Section 2.20 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification or shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, then such
Lender or such Issuing Bank shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby grant to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with
an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s interests
hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.21(a). 
 (b) If (i) any Lender or any Issuing Bank shall request
compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender or any Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Issuing Bank or any Government
Authority on account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank, pursuant to Section 2.20, then such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender or such Issuing Bank to incur an unreimbursed loss or
unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document
reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for
compensation under Section 2.14 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.15 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, in the future. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or any Issuing Bank in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer. 

SECTION 2.22. Letters of Credit. (a) General. The Borrower may request the issuance of a
Letter of Credit denominated in dollars for its own account or for the account of any of its wholly owned subsidiaries (in which case the Borrower and such wholly owned subsidiary shall be co-applicants with respect to such Letter of Credit), in a
form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time on and after the Original Effective Date and prior to the date that is 30 days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date
while the L/C Commitment remains in effect. This Section shall not be construed to impose an obligation upon any Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit. 

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. In order to request the issuance of a
Letter of Credit (or to amend, renew or extend an existing Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or fax to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the date on which such Letter of Credit is
to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) below), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare such Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit
shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if, and upon 

  
 59 








 
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension (i) the L/C Exposure shall not exceed $40,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Borrower may determine and notify to the Issuing Bank) and (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit
Commitment. 
 (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at the close of business on the earlier of
the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, unless such Letter of Credit expires by its terms on an earlier date;
provided, however, that each Existing Letter of Credit may expire on the termination date of such Existing Letter of Credit; provided, further, that a Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the Borrower, include a
provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of 12 months or less (but not beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date) unless the applicable
Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least 30 days (or such longer period as may be specified in such Letter of Credit) prior to the then-applicable expiration date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed. 

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit and without any further action on the part of the applicable
Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each such Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Revolving Pro Rata Percentage of the
aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of the Existing Letters of Credit, effective upon the Original Effective Date). In consideration and in
furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Revolving Pro Rata Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made
by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower (or, if applicable, another party pursuant to its obligations under any other Finance Document) forthwith on the date due as provided in Section 2.02(f). The participations provided for in
this Section 2.22(d) and the reimbursements provided for in Section 2.22(e) shall be allocated ratably to each Revolving Lender according to the Revolving Pro Rata Percentages of each. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to
acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default,
and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 
 (e)
Reimbursement. If any Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement on the same Business Day that
the Borrower shall have received notice from such Issuing Bank that payment of such draft will be made, or, if the Borrower shall have received such notice later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, not later than 10:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day. 

  
 60 








 (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations to reimburse L/C
Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) above 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 any Finance Document, or any term or provision
therein; 
 (ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of
Credit or any Finance Document; 
 (iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower, any
other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or
any Lender or any other person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Finance Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction (other than payment in full of the Obligations); 

(iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient
in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 
 (v) payment by the applicable 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; and 

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuing Banks, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any
other person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that the absolute and unconditional obligation of
the Borrower hereunder to reimburse L/C Disbursements will not be excused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the applicable Issuing Bank. However, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the
Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing
Bank’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. It is further understood and agreed that Issuing Banks may accept documents that
appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit (i) an Issuing Bank’s exclusive reliance
on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary
thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other
statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves 

  
 61 








 
to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever and (ii) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented
under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or wilful misconduct of an Issuing Bank. 

(g) Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents
purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The applicable Issuing Bank shall as promptly as possible give telephonic notification, confirmed by fax, to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such demand for
payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and
the Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement. 
 (h) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any L/C
Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on such date, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest for the account of such Issuing Bank, for each day from and including
the date of such L/C Disbursement, to but excluding the earlier of the date of payment by the Borrower or the date on which interest shall commence to accrue thereon as provided in Section 2.02(f), at the rate per annum that would apply to such
amount if such amount were an ABR Revolving Loan. 
 (i) Resignation or Removal of the Issuing Banks. Any Issuing Bank may
resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, and may be removed at any time by the Borrower by notice to the applicable Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder by a Lender that shall agree to serve as successor Issuing Bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of the
retiring Issuing Bank. At the time such removal or resignation shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid fees pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(ii). The acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder by a
successor Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such successor Lender shall
have all the rights and obligations of the previous Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Finance Documents 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 resignation or removal of any Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto
and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or removal, but shall not be required to issue
additional Letters of Credit. 
 (j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
Borrower shall, within one Business Day after it receives notice from the Administrative Agent 

  
 62 








 
or the Majority Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders holding participations in outstanding Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the aggregate
undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit) thereof and of the amount to be deposited, deposit in an account with the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the L/C Exposure as of such date. Such
deposit shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other
than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits in Cash Equivalent Investments, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if
any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall (i) automatically be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, (ii) be held
for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the L/C Exposure at such time and (iii) if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders holding participations in outstanding Letters
of Credit representing greater than 50% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit), be applied to satisfy the Obligations. Without limiting the Borrower’s obligations under the foregoing provisions of this paragraph
(j), if on the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 4.01 would not be satisfied or if the reallocation of participations in Letters of
Credit contemplated by Section 2.22(d) cannot be completed, then the Borrower shall, on such date, deposit in an account with the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the L/C Exposure attributable to
the Revolving Credit Commitments as of such date in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (j). Any failure to make such a deposit after notice by the Administrative Agent shall constitute an Event of Default. If the Borrower is
required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default or as a result of the failure to satisfy the conditions to borrowing in the circumstances described above, such amount (to the extent not
applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived or such conditions are satisfied. 

(k) Issuing Banks. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and such Lender, designate one or more Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement. Any Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this paragraph (k) shall
be deemed to be an “Issuing Bank” (in addition to being a Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender to the extent so agreed, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply
to the other Issuing Banks and such Lender. 
 SECTION 2.23. Defaulting Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding any provision
of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply with respect to any outstanding L/C Exposure: 

(i) the Revolving Pro Rata Percentage of such Defaulting Lender with respect to any L/C Exposure will, so long as each of the
conditions set forth in Section 4.01 shall be satisfied at such time, automatically be reallocated (effective on the date such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders pro


  
 63 








 
rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, that (x) with respect to each non-Defaulting Lender, its Revolving Pro Rata Percentage of the Revolving
Credit Exposures may not in any event exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (y) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or
release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a non-Defaulting Lender; and 

(ii) to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Revolving Pro Rata Percentage
of such Defaulting Lender with respect to any L/C Exposure cannot be so reallocated, the Borrower will promptly, and in no event later than three Business Days after any demand by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of an Issuing Bank), (x)
cash collateralize the obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Banks in respect of such L/C Exposure, in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated portion of such L/C Exposure, or (y) make other arrangements reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and to the Issuing Banks, in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuing Banks shall have no obligation to
issue new Letters of Credit, or to extend, renew or amend existing Letters of Credit until such unreallocated portions of L/C Exposure are cash collateralized in accordance with clause (x) above or such other arrangements are made in accordance with
clause (y) above. 
 (b) If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender
that is a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, (i) such
Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase such portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause such Lender’s Revolving Pro Rata
Percentage to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with its respective Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a non-Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with
respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender and (ii) the cash collateral requirements set forth in this Section 2.23 will terminate and the Issuing Banks will cause any cash
collateral posted with respect to their respective L/C Exposure to be returned to the Borrower subject to any terms relating to such cash collateral; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the
affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. 

(c) The Administrative Agent will promptly send to each Lender and each Issuing Bank a copy of any notice delivered to the Borrower in
connection with this Section 2.23. 
 (d) Without limiting Section 9.08, this Section 2.23 may not be amended, waived or otherwise modified
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Borrower.

Amendment Effective Date, no Default, is continuing or would result from the making of the Loans or the entry into, the performance of, or any transaction contemplated by, any Finance Document. 

(b) No other event or circumstance is outstanding which constitutes (or, with the expiry of a grace period, the giving of notice, the making
of any determination or any combination of any of the foregoing, would constitute) a default or termination event (however described) under any other agreement or instrument which is binding on it or any of its Subsidiaries, or to which its (or any
of its Subsidiaries’) assets are subject, which has or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION

thereunder. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events, could reasonably be expected to result in material liability of any U.S. Group Member or any of its ERISA
Affiliates. The present value of all benefit liabilities under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Accounting Standards Codification No. 715-Compensation-Retirement Benefits) did not, as of the last annual valuation date
applicable thereto, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan by an amount in excess of $20,000,000, and the present value of all benefit liabilities of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Accounting
Standards Codification No. 715-Compensation-Retirement Benefits) did not, as of the last annual valuation dates applicable thereto, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans by an amount in excess of $20,000,000.

 67 








 (b) No event or circumstance has occurred or arisen, no information has been omitted from the
information provided by or on behalf of any member of the Group and no information has been given or withheld that results in the information, opinions, intentions, forecasts or projections contained in such information provided being untrue or
misleading in any material respect.

investigations of, or before, any court, arbitral body or agency which, if adversely determined, are reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect have (to the best of its knowledge and belief (having made due and careful inquiry)) been
started or threatened against it or any of its Subsidiaries.

(and none of its Subsidiaries has) breached any law or regulation which breach has or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

provided by or pursuant to the Finance Documents or by law, (ii) to confer on the Collateral Agent or the Finance Parties Security over any property and assets of such Obligor constituting Collateral located in any jurisdiction equivalent or similar
to the Security intended to be conferred by or pursuant to the Security Documents (provided that no additional Security shall be required over Collateral covered by the Dutch Security Agreements), and/or (iii) to facilitate the realization of
the assets which are, or are intended to be, the subject of the Transaction Security (it being understood that it is the intent of the parties that the Obligations shall be secured by (x) substantially all the personal property of the Borrower and
the other Obligors that are Domestic Subsidiaries provided that a security interest with respect to which may be perfected by UCC 

  
 78 








 
filing and (y) certain other assets reasonably agreed between the Collateral Agent and Parent from time to time, including, to the extent not covered by the foregoing, the Shares (but excluding,
in each case and without limitation, real property, mineral interests and vessels), except to the extent that (A) Transaction Security would not be permitted by the terms of any Permitted Security existing over such assets or (B) the cost of
obtaining Transaction Security would be disproportionate to the benefit thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, upon any sale, transfer or other disposal by any Obligor of any Collateral that is permitted under this Agreement and the other
Finance Documents to any person that is not an Obligor, the Transaction Security in such Collateral shall be automatically released. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Equity Interests of a Canadian Subsidiary organized as an
unlimited liability corporation would constitute “Collateral” under any Security Document, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall, prior to such Equity Interests becoming Collateral, enter into amendments to
the applicable Security Documents to incorporate such lender liability protections as reasonably agreed between the Administrative Agent and Parent in connection therewith, and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent to enter into such amendments without any further consent of the Lenders. 
 (b) Each Obligor shall (and Parent shall ensure that each
member of the Group will) take all such action as is available to it (including making all filings and registrations) as may be necessary for the purpose of the creation, perfection, protection or maintenance of any Security conferred or intended to
be conferred on the Collateral Agent or the Finance Parties by or pursuant to the Finance Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the only actions that shall be required to perfect the Transaction Security in respect of the personal property of
the Borrower and the other Obligors that are Domestic Subsidiaries shall be UCC filings. 
 (c) Each Obligor shall (and Parent shall ensure
that each member of the Group will) ensure that at any time that Security is granted to the lenders under the French Revolving Facility pursuant to the French Revolving Facility Agreement or the Other Facility Security Documents, such Security shall
be (or shall have been) granted to the Lenders pursuant to substantially similar documentation, agreements or arrangements as the Security granted under the Security Documents and on terms consistent with the Intercreditor Agreement. 

(d) Parent will cause (i) any subsequently acquired wholly owned Domestic Subsidiary that is acquired in any transaction or series of
transactions for aggregate consideration in excess of $50,000,000 and (ii) any subsequently acquired, organized or reorganized Foreign Subsidiary that (x) to the extent any of the Existing 2017 Bonds, the Existing 2020 Bonds, the Existing 2021
Bonds, the Existing 2022 Bonds or the bonds issued pursuant to Section 3(A)(ii) of Amendment No. 2 (or, in each case, any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) are then outstanding, is able to provide a full and unconditional
guarantee of the Existing 2017 Bonds, the Existing 2020 Bonds, the Existing 2021 Bonds, the Existing 2022 Bonds or the bonds issued pursuant to Section 3(A)(ii) of Amendment No. 2 (or, in each case, any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect
thereof), as applicable, under applicable law and the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and provides any such guarantee and (y) is not treated as a “controlled foreign corporation” (as that term is
defined in Section 957 of the Code and the applicable regulations thereunder, “CFC”) of the Borrower to become an Additional Guarantor by executing the Guarantee Agreement and each applicable Security Document in favor of the
Collateral Agent. If any such Foreign Subsidiary ceases to 

  
 79 








 
provide any such guarantee under the Existing 2017 Bonds, the Existing 2020 Bonds, the Existing 2021 Bonds, the Existing 2022 Bonds or the bonds issued pursuant to Section 3(A)(ii) of Amendment
No. 2 (and, in each case, any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof), as applicable, then it shall automatically cease to be a Guarantor and be released from its obligations under all the Finance Documents and the Collateral Agent
shall promptly execute and deliver to such Guarantor, at such Guarantor’s expense, all documents that such Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such release (it being understood that any such execution and delivery of documents shall
be without recourse to or representation or warranty by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not cause or permit a Canadian Subsidiary organized as an unlimited liability corporation to become an
Obligor hereunder. 
 (e) Parent will not enter into or amend the French Revolving Facility Agreement or the U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement
(or, in each case, any document related thereto) to the extent that such document provides (A) covenants and/or events of default which, when taken together as a whole, are, or (B) guarantees, collateral or other Security that is, more
favorable to the lenders in respect thereof (such provisions, together the “Other Facility Provisions”) than such equivalent terms or Collateral, as the case may be, under this Agreement, unless this Agreement (and any other
Finance Documents, if applicable) are similarly amended or such French Revolving Facility Provisions are consented to by the Administrative Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders). It is acknowledged and agreed by the parties
hereto that the commercial understanding is that the French Revolving Facility Agreement and the U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement and this Agreement (x) shall be based on different forms of agreement and may have different finance parties and
borrowers and (y) shall contain covenants and events of default, be subject to guarantees and be secured by collateral or other Security that, when taken as a whole, are substantially similar in all material respects. 

(f) (i) Subject to the Agreed Security Principles, Parent shall procure that each Additional Guarantor which becomes an Additional
Guarantor after the Amendment Effective Date and that CGG Holding I (UK) Limited and CGG Holding II (UK) Limited shall, if requested by the Administrative Agent (having regard to the approach taken prior to the Amendment Effective Date regarding the
taking of Transaction Security to the extent applicable in the relevant circumstances) grant Transaction Security over its property and other assets of the same type as the property or other assets already subject to Transaction Security intended to
be granted by or pursuant to Security Documents (and which shall include, for the avoidance of doubt, any library); provided, that in respect of CGG Holding I (UK) Limited and CGG Holding II (UK) Limited, such obligation shall be complied
with as soon as reasonably practicable after the Amendment Effective Date. (ii) when a Security Document is entered into, Parent shall deliver to the Collateral Agent (A) the original Security Document executed by the relevant member of the
Group and the Collateral Agent, (B) all other documents required to perfect the security in conformity with the Agreed Security Principles, (C) all relevant legal opinions and (D) upon request by the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, such
other evidence listed on Schedule 2 of the Restatement Agreement as appropriate in relation to the entering into of a Security Document, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(g) (i) Subject to the Agreed Security Principles, Parent shall procure that each Obligor which is the creditor (each a
“Creditor”) of any loan to a member of the Group whose shares are 

  
 80 








 
subject to Transaction Security shall (A) subject to the following clause (B), grant Transaction Security over each such loan within 30 days of delivery of the list of loans made between members
of the Group (x) provided pursuant to Section 5.20(l) (to the extent that the corresponding Transaction Security has not already been granted on or prior to the Amendment Effective Date) or (y) attached to each Updated Group Structure Chart provided
pursuant to Section 5.02 and (B) to the extent only that (1) the granting of the Transaction Security referred to in paragraph (A) above requires the execution of an additional Security Document and (2) no Event of Default has occurred, such
Transaction Security shall only be granted if the relevant loan or loans made by such Obligor to the relevant company are in an amount greater than $5,000,000 in aggregate (it being provided that this $5,000,000 threshold shall cease to apply as
soon as an Event of Default occurs); and (ii) Parent shall in good faith examine the possibility of eliminating (by repayment or transfer, to the extent such repayment or transfer does not have a material adverse tax impact) the two loans
granted by CGG Marine (U.S.) Inc. and Veritas Geophysical III Caymans to the Borrower and, if the same is possible use its reasonable efforts to do this within six months after the date of execution of the Restatement Agreement or such longer period
as is appropriate taking into account any negative tax impact and Parent shall provide the Administrative Agent with an update on the status of the execution of its obligations under this clause (ii) (including the conclusions it has reached) with
each set of financial statements delivered pursuant to Sections 5.01(a) and (b). 
 (h) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement, if (i) any Obligor shall at any time hold or acquire any Instrument (as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement (U.S.)) governed by the laws of any State of the United States of America that constitutes Collateral or (ii) any Grantor
(as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement (U.S.)) shall at any time hold or acquire any Instrument (as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement (U.S.)), in each case that evidences intercompany loans made by such Obligor or Grantor to a
Pledged Company, such Obligor or Grantor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver such Instruments to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such undated instruments of endorsement, transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral
Agent may from time to time specify; provided that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such obligation of such Obligor or Grantor shall only apply so as necessary to ensure that the aggregate principal amount of such
Instruments outstanding to the relevant Pledged Company which have not been so delivered does not exceed in aggregate $5,000,000. 
 (i) If
a Business Plan Disposals Reorganization has occurred and the relevant Business Plan Disposal has not occurred on the later of (i) the date falling six months after the date of entering into the Sale Agreement (as defined in the definition of
“Business Plan Disposals Reorganization”) and (ii) the “longstop date” for the completion of such Business Plan Disposal pursuant to the Sale Agreement (but only if such Sale Agreement is a binding agreement or put option and if
such “longstop date” is provided therein), Parent shall (and shall procure that other members of the Group will), upon request by the Administrative Agent (acting on the instruction of the Majority Lenders), grant security over the shares
of the special purpose vehicle constituted (or other company to which the assets were transferred) for the purposes of such Business Plan Disposals Reorganization. 

(j) Parent shall supply to the Administrative Agent (i) on July 31 each year, commencing on July 31, 2016 and (ii) as soon as reasonably

a list of the registration or reference numbers of the streamers owned by CGG Marine B.V. 
 (k) Parent shall supply on the first Business
Day following the Amendment Effective Date the details of the Financial Indebtedness (including any Hedging Agreement which could give rise to Financial Indebtedness referred to in paragraph (f) of the definition of “Financial

Revolving Facility Agreement and ordinary course of business overdrafts, small equipment leasing and similar short term facilities and ordinary course currency hedging, in each case as permitted under this Agreement). 

(l) Parent shall supply on the first Business Day following the Amendment Effective Date a list of all the existing intercompany loans between
members of the Group as of December 31, 2015. 
 (m) Subject to compliance with Section 2.13(b) and the requirement for minimum amounts
referenced in Sections 2.02(a), 2.09(b) and 2.12(a), from and after the Amendment Effective Date, Parent and the Borrower agree to use all reasonable endeavors to manage the utilization of the Facilities and the French Revolving Facility so that the
percentage of the Commitments which are outstanding as Revolving Loans does not exceed the percentage of French Revolving Commitments which are then drawn and outstanding as loans; provided that the parties acknowledge that temporary (not to exceed
one month) fluctuations as a result of prepayments may occur due to the management of Interest Periods in the ordinary course of business and other fluctuations may occur due to foreign exchange movements in connection with loans under the
French Revolving Facility drawn in Euro; provided, however, that any such fluctuations due to foreign exchange movements will be eliminated at the earlier to occur of the next Borrowing or voluntary prepayment of Loans. For the
avoidance of doubt, no Borrowing shall be made hereunder unless, if required to comply with the previous sentence, a corresponding borrowing of loans under the French Revolving Facility is made substantially concurrently such that, subject to the
proviso in the foregoing sentence, the percentage of the Commitments which are outstanding as Revolving Loans does not exceed the percentage of French Revolving Commitments which are then drawn and outstanding as loans. Furthermore, Parent and
the Borrower agree that they shall not voluntarily reduce any Commitments hereunder or any French Revolving Commitments under the French Revolving Facility unless (x) the Commitments and the French Revolving Commitments are each reduced on a pro
rata basis and (y) after giving effect to any such reductions, subject to the proviso to the first sentence of this paragraph, the percentage of the Commitments which are outstanding as Revolving Loans does not exceed the percentage of French
Revolving Commitments which are then drawn and outstanding as loans; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, this sentence shall not apply to any conversion of loans under the French Revolving Facility to term loans thereunder or any
reduction of commitments due to any rollover or refinancing of Revolving Loans or loans under the French Revolving Facility into or with loans under the U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement or reduction of French Revolving Commitments at maturity on the
Initial Termination Date or the First Extended Termination Date but excluding maturity on the Second Extended Termination

Date (each as defined in the French Revolving Facility Agreement). Parent shall not repay in full (including all amounts which are not principal) the loans outstanding under the French
Revolving Facility Agreement on the Second Extended Termination Date (as defined in the French Revolving Facility Agreement) or thereafter unless the Borrower repays in full (including all amounts which are not principal) the Loans outstanding on
the Revolving Credit Maturity Date at the same time. If Parent repays the loans under the French Revolving Facility Agreement in part only on the Second Extended Termination Date (as defined in the French Revolving Facility Agreement) or thereafter,
the Borrower will repay the Loans at the same time on a pro rata basis (including in respect of all amounts which are not principal) such that each Lender and each lender under the French Revolving Facility Agreement is paid the same percentage of
all the payments due to it on (and from, as the case may be) the Second Extended Termination Date (as defined in the French Revolving Facility Agreement) as regards the lenders under the French Revolving Facility Agreement and on (and from, as the
case may be) the Revolving Credit Maturity Date as regards the Lenders. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5.20(m) (other than the two immediately preceding sentences) shall terminate if the Term Out Date (as defined in the French
Revolving Facility Agreement) has occurred and no Available Commitments (as defined in the French Revolving Facility Agreement) remain outstanding. 

(n) Notwithstanding any term of this Agreement or any other Finance Document, no loan or other obligation under any Finance Document may be,
directly or indirectly: 
 (i) guaranteed by a CFC or by an entity substantially all the assets of which consist of equity
interests of one or more CFCs (a “FSHCO”), or guaranteed by a subsidiary of a CFC or FSHCO; 
 (ii)
secured by any assets of a CFC, FSHCO or a subsidiary of a CFC or a FSHCO (including any CFC or FSHCO equity interests held directly or indirectly by a CFC or FSHCO); 

(iii) secured by a pledge or other security interest in excess of 65% of the voting equity interests (and 100% of the
non-voting equity interests) of a CFC or FSHCO; 
 in each case to the extent such obligation, liability or pledge would cause or result in
any “deemed dividend” pursuant to Section 956 of the Code to any member of the Group who is a U.S. Person. 
 SECTION
5.21. Phase 2 IBR Report. Parent shall supply or procure the supply to the Administrative Agent in sufficient copies for all the Recipient Lenders or by electronic means the Phase 2 IBR Report as soon as the same becomes
available but in any event by no later than March 31, 2016. For the avoidance of doubt, the content of the Phase 2 IBR Report shall not be required to be satisfactory to the Recipient Lenders. Notwithstanding any other term of this
Agreement no Event of Default shall occur, or be deemed to occur, if the failure to supply the Phase 2 IBR Report arises solely as a result of the fault of PricewaterhouseCoopers, Parent having provided information and access to management in
accordance with and by the deadlines required by the engagement letter in respect of the Phase 2 IBR Report.

 SECTION 5.22. Anti-Corruption Law; Sanctions. (a) No Obligor
shall (and Parent shall ensure that no other member of the Group will) directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the Facilities for any purpose which would breach the Bribery Act 2010, the FCPA or other similar legislation in other jurisdictions.

 (b) Each Obligor shall (and Parent shall ensure that each other member of the Group will): (i) conduct its businesses in compliance with
applicable anti-corruption laws; and (ii) maintain policies and procedures designed to promote and achieve compliance with such laws. 

SECTION 5.23. Maintenance of Ratings. Parent shall use commercially reasonably efforts to cause the Facilities to be
continuously rated by S&P and Moody’s (it being agreed that, for so long as the lenders under the U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement will only receive a rating of the senior secured debt of the Borrower instead of a rating of the facility
established under the U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Lenders shall only be provided with the same rating). Parent shall use commercially reasonably efforts to maintain the Corporate Rating and shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in
writing of any change in the Corporate Rating. 
 SECTION 5.24. Additional Financial Information. (a) Subject
to paragraph (d) below, Parent shall supply to the Administrative Agent in sufficient copies for all the Lenders or by electronic means: (i) as soon as the same becomes available, but in any event with each set of financial statements
delivered by Parent pursuant to Section 5.01(b) on or after the Amendment Effective Date, the financial reporting pack provided to its board of directors or if it is more comprehensive, the financial reporting pack provided to its audit and/or
strategic committee; (ii) at the same time as the information in subclause (i) above is provided, an update on: (A) progress in disposing of the assets referred to in Schedule 6.08, (B) the status of the vessels and
related costs, (C) other material costs incurred or to be incurred in connection with the restructuring of the Group, (D) key transformation steps and the timetable to achieve those steps and (E) the mark to market of the Hedging
Agreements of the Group as at the last day of the Relevant Period and (F) such other information (if any) which is provided at the same time under the French Revolving Facility Agreement; (iii) as soon as the same becomes available, but in any event
with each set of financial statements delivered by Parent pursuant to Sections 5.01(a) and (b), a report showing the cash balance as of the date of such financial statements of each member of the Group and of the Group as a whole on a geographical
basis. 
 (b) Subject to paragraph (d) below, Parent shall procure that the financial information delivered pursuant to paragraph (a)(i)
above shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the sample reporting delivered by Parent to the lenders under the French Revolving Facility Agreement prior to the date of this Agreement; provided that Parent may redact from that financial
information any comments which are answers to specific requests from its board of directors (or as the case may be, from its relevant committee) or which relate to matters and projects being discussed by its board of directors (or as the case may
be, its relevant committee). 
 (c) Subject to paragraph (d) below, Parent shall: (i) supply to the Administrative Agent in
sufficient copies for all the Lenders or by electronic means with each set of financial statements delivered by Parent pursuant to Section 5.01(b) copies of all reports and notices sent and received by Parent (since the date the last financial
information was delivered) under clauses 21.1(a)(ii) and 21.1(c) (Financial statements) and clause 21.2 (Compliance Certificate) 

  
 84 








 
of the Nordic Facility Agreement; (ii) notify the Administrative Agent of any Default or any Shortfall Notice (in each case as defined in the Nordic Facility Agreement) immediately upon its
occurrence or receipt (as the case may be); (iii) at the same time as it provides such information to the Administrative Agent (as defined in the Nordic Facility Agreement), provide to the Administrative Agent in sufficient copies for all the
Lenders or by electronic means, any information that it delivers to the Administrative Agent under clauses 21.8(a) or (c) (Information; Vessels), clause 21.9 (Notification; Certain events related to the Vessels) and/or
clause 24.4 (Valuation of Vessels), in each case, as provided in the Nordic Facility Agreement; (iv) at the same time as it is determined at any time for purposes of the Nordic Facility Agreement, provide to the Administrative Agent
in sufficient copies for all the Lenders or by electronic means details of the Fair Market Value of any Vessel (in each case, as defined in the Nordic Facility Agreement); (v) as soon as practicable provide to the Administrative Agent in
sufficient copies for all the Lenders or by electronic means, copies of all other notices and information sent and received in connection with any notice, information or report referred to in clauses (c)(i) to (c)(iv) (inclusive) above and all
related material correspondence.
 (d) This Section 5.24 shall cease to apply (but without prejudice to Section 5.05 and except
for Section 5.24(a)(iii), which shall apply at all times) if the Total Leverage Ratio for any Relevant Period is equal to or less than 3.50 to 1.00 and for so long as it remains equal to or less than 3.50 to 1.00 for each subsequent Relevant Period.
Accordingly, this Section 5.24 shall reapply if the Total Leverage Ratio is greater than 3.50 to 1.00 for any Relevant Period or in the event that it is not possible to determine the Total Leverage Ratio in accordance with Section 6.02 as
a result of Parent’s failure to deliver a Compliance Certificate in accordance with Section 5.02.

to the “Eurodollar Spread”) applicable to the Facilities on the date that Parent incurs such Permitted Financial Indebtedness plus (B) 0.50% per annum (in each case, the “MFN Floating Rate”), unless the
Applicable Percentage is (or, as the case may be, if the difference between the Effective Yield and the MFN Floating Rate results from a higher level of fees applicable to the Relevant Financial Indebtedness, the fees applicable to the Relevant
Financial Indebtedness, the fees applicable to the Facilities are) increased by the amount by which the Effective Yield for the relevant Permitted Financial Indebtedness exceeds the applicable MFN Floating Rate or (ii) if such Permitted Financial
Indebtedness is a fixed rate instrument, (A) the Applicable Percentage plus the Adjusted LIBO Rate applicable to the Facilities on the date that Parent incurs such Permitted Financial Indebtedness plus (B) 0.50% per annum (in each case, the

 ARTICLE VIII 

The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent 

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoint the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (for purposes of this
Article VIII, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as the “Agents”) its agent and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated
to such Agent by the terms of the Finance Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to execute and deliver,
without the need for any further authority from the Secured Parties, the Intercreditor Agreement, any other intercreditor agreement contemplated hereunder, each other Security Document and any and all other documents


  
 96 








 
(including releases) with respect to the Transaction Security, the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement and the Security Documents. For the avoidance of doubt and without prejudice to the provisions in this Article VIII, each other Finance Party appoints the Administrative Agent to act as its administrative agent and,
accordingly, as Authorized Representative (under and as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) for all purposes under or in connection with the Intercreditor Agreement and references in this Agreement to the “Agent” shall include (to the
extent appropriate) references to the “Authorized Representative” (in that capacity). 
 Each bank serving as an 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 an Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind
of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder. 
 No Agent shall have any
duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Finance Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has
occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is instructed in writing to
exercise by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08) and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Finance Documents, no Agent shall have any
duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Parent or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by a bank serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No
Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08) or
in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and no Agent shall be responsible
for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Finance Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection
therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Finance Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Finance Document or any other
agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Finance Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. 

Each 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. Each Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by
the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the 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. 

  
 97 








 Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through
any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding
paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facilities as well as activities as Agent. 

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, either Agent may resign at any time by notifying the
Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and
shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor
Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Any such resignation by an Agent hereunder shall also constitute, to the extent applicable, its resignation as an Issuing Bank, in which case
such resigning Agent (a) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit hereunder and (b) shall maintain all of its rights as an Issuing Bank with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it prior to the date of such
resignation. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s
resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken
by any of them while acting as Agent. 
 Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any
other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any other Finance
Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized by the
Lenders and the Issuing Banks which are a party to this Agreement to execute and deliver any documents necessary or appropriate to create the rights of pledge of assets governed by the laws of the Netherlands for the benefit of the Lenders and the
Issuing Banks which are a party to this Agreement. Without prejudice to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree with the creation of the parallel debt obligations of CGGVeritas
Holding B.V. and 

  
 98 








 
CGGVeritas Marine B.V. as described in the Parallel Debt Agreement (the “Parallel Debt”), including that any payment received by the Collateral Agent in respect of the
Parallel Debt will be deemed a satisfaction of a pro rata portion of the corresponding amounts of the Obligations. 
 The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of the Dutch Security Agreements, any resignation by the Collateral Agent is not effective for purposes of continuing the security interest in respect of the Parallel Debt until such rights and obligations
have been assumed by the successor Collateral Agent.

Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.05, as well as to any Fees accrued for its account and not yet paid). 

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to
confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that
its Revolving Credit Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Revolving Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) except as
set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution,
legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Finance Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of Parent or any Subsidiary or the
performance or observance by Parent or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Finance Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it
is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.16 or
delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (v) such assignee will independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such 

  
 102 








 
assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action
under this Agreement, (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the
obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent, acting for
this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York City a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment
of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Banks, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The
Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(e) Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an
Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above, if applicable, and the written consent of the
Administrative Agent and, if required, the Borrower and the Issuing Banks to such assignment and any applicable tax forms (including, in respect of any Foreign Lender, a properly completed IRS Form W-8 in accordance with Section 2.20(f) of this
Agreement), the Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register
as provided in this paragraph (e). 
 (f) Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrower, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative
Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other persons in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that
(i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or
other persons shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20 to the same extent as if they were Lenders (but, with respect to any particular participant, to no greater extent than
the Lender that sold the participation to such participant) and, (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans or L/C Disbursements and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable to such participating bank or 

  
 103 








 
person hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans in which such participating bank or person has an interest, extending any date fixed for the
payment of interest on the Loans in which such participating bank or person has an interest, increasing or extending the Commitments in which such participating bank or person has an interest or releasing any Guarantor (other than in connection with
the sale, transfer or other disposal of such Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 6.08) or all or substantially all of the Collateral). 

(g) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register
on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant
Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any person (other than the Borrower) (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 Finance Document, 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. 
 (h) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any
assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by
or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by the Borrower as confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such
assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.16. 

(i) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure extensions of credit to such Lender or
in support of obligations owed by such Lender to any party (including any Federal Reserve Bank); provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as
a party hereto. 
 (j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”)
may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any
part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if
an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, 

  
 104 








 
the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the
same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the
Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all
outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under
the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing
liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper
dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. 
 (k) Neither Parent nor the Borrower shall
assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void. 

(l) In the event that any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender or S&P, Moody’s and Thompson’s BankWatch (or InsuranceWatch
Ratings Service, in the case of Lenders that are insurance companies (or Best’s Insurance Reports, if such insurance company is not rated by Insurance Watch Ratings Service)) shall, after the date that any Lender becomes a Lender, downgrade the
long-term certificate deposit ratings of such Lender, and the resulting ratings shall be below BBB-, Baa3 and C (or BB, in the case of a Lender that is an insurance company (or B, in the case of an insurance
company not rated by InsuranceWatch Ratings Service)) (or, with respect to any Lender that is not rated by any such ratings service or provider, any Issuing Bank shall have reasonably determined that there has occurred a material adverse change in
the financial condition of any such Lender, or a material impairment of the ability of any such Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, as compared to such condition or ability as of the date that any such Lender became a Lender) then any
Issuing Bank shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its own expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to replace such Lender with an assignee (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in
paragraph (b) above), and such Lender hereby agrees to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in paragraph (b) above) all its interests, rights and obligations in respect of its
Revolving Credit Commitment to such assignee; provided, however, that (i) no such assignment shall conflict with any law, rule and regulation or order of any Government Authority and (ii) such Issuing Bank or such assignee,
as the case may be, shall pay to such Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by such Lender hereunder and all other amounts accrued for such
Lender’s account or owed to it hereunder. 

  
 105 








 SECTION 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrower and Parent
agree, jointly and severally, to pay all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Issuing Banks in connection with the syndication of the Facilities and the preparation, negotiation, execution and
administration of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated)
or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Finance Documents or in connection with the Loans made or
Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and, in connection with any such enforcement or
protection, the fees, charges and disbursements of any other outside counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender. 

(b) The Borrower and Parent agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender, each
Issuing Bank and each Related Party of any of the foregoing persons (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
related out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable outside counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of
this Agreement or any other Finance Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions
contemplated thereby (including the syndication of the Facilities), (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on any property currently or formerly owned or operated by Parent or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability
related in any way to Parent or the Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of, or the material breach of this Agreement by, such Indemnitee or (y) arise out of any claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding brought by such Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than any such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding brought by or against the Administrative Agent, acting in its capacity as Administrative Agent)
that does not involve any act or omission of the Borrower or any member of the Group. 
 (c) To the extent that the Borrower and Parent fail
to pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Issuing Bank (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss,
claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Issuing Bank in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a


  
 106 








 
Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure and unused Commitments at the time (in each case,
determined as if no Lender were a Defaulting Lender). 
 (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither Parent nor the Borrower
shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result
of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. 

(e) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of
this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of
this Agreement or any other Finance Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written
demand therefor. 
 SECTION 9.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited 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 indebtedness
at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Finance Documents held by such Lender, irrespective
of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Finance Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights
and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. 
 SECTION 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER FINANCE DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER FINANCE DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH LETTER OF CREDIT AND ALL
CLAIMS AND CONTROVERSIES IN CONNECTION THEREWITH SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OR RULES DESIGNATED IN SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT, OR IF NO SUCH LAWS OR RULES ARE DESIGNATED, THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS AND PRACTICE FOR
DOCUMENTARY CREDITS MOST RECENTLY PUBLISHED AND IN EFFECT, ON THE DATE SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT WAS ISSUED, BY THE INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (THE “UNIFORM CUSTOMS”) AND, AS TO MATTERS NOT GOVERNED BY THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS, THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 SECTION 9.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Finance 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 

  
 107 








 
steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Finance Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or
any other Finance Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Obligor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in
writing entered into by the Borrower, Parent and the Majority Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or date for the payment of any interest on
any Loan or any date for reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan or L/C Disbursement, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly
adversely affected thereby, (ii) increase or extend the Commitment or decrease or extend the date for payment of any Fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify the pro rata
requirements of Section 2.01 or 2.17, the provisions of Section 9.04(k) or the provisions of this Section or release any Guarantor (other than in connection with the sale, transfer or other disposal of such Guarantor in a transaction permitted
by Section 6.08) or all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) change the provisions of any Finance Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect
of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of one Class differently from the rights of Lenders holding Loans of any other Class without the prior written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments
of each adversely affected Class, (v) modify the protections afforded to an SPC pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.04(j) without the written consent of such SPC or (vi) reduce the percentage contained in the definition of the term
“Majority Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Lender (it being understood that with the consent of the Majority Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the
Majority Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Revolving Credit Commitments on the date hereof); provided further that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Issuing Bank hereunder or under any other Finance Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be and (B) Loan Modification
Offers may be made as set forth in Section 9.18. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in connection with the incurrence
of Referenced Financial Indebtedness, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall enter into (i) new Security Documents, or amendments to existing Security Documents, such that the guarantees, collateral or other Security
with respect to such Referenced Financial Indebtedness is no more favorable to the lenders in respect thereof than the guarantees, collateral or other Security under this Agreement and (ii) an amendment to the Intercreditor Agreement in order to
include the technical and legal amendments to allow such sharing of the 

  
 108 








 
guarantees, collateral or other Security on a pari passu basis, and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into such amendments without any
further consent of the Lenders. 
 SECTION 9.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or participation in any L/C Disbursement, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan or participation in such L/C Disbursement 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
or participation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or participation 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 or participation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender
in respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have
been received by such Lender. 
 SECTION 9.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Restatement Agreement, the Fee
Letter and the other Finance Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this
Agreement and the other Finance Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Finance Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereunder (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing
Banks and the Lenders) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Finance Documents. 

SECTION 9.11. 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 RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER FINANCE DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES
HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER FINANCE DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11. 

SECTION 9.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other
Finance Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained 

  
 109 








 
herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself
affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as
close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 
 SECTION 9.13. Counterparts. 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, and shall become effective as
provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. 

SECTION 9.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of
reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

SECTION 9.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each of Parent and the Borrower
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court
from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of
any such action or proceeding 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 shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any
Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Finance Documents against Parent, the Borrower or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

(b) Each of Parent and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so,
any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (a) above. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01;
provided that that Parent hereby appoints the Borrower as its agent for service of process. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 

SECTION 9.16. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the
Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ officers, 

  
 110 








 
directors, trustees, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel, numbering, administration and settlement service providers and other advisors (it being understood that the
persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority
(such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; provided that, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law,
regulation or court order, the disclosing party shall (to the extent reasonably practicable) notify the Borrower of any request by any Government Authority or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of
the financial condition of such Lender by such Government Authority) for disclosure of any Information prior to disclosure of such Information, (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Finance Documents or any
suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.16, to (i) any actual or prospective
assignee of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower
or any Subsidiary or any of their respective obligations, (f) with the consent of the Borrower, (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.16 or (h) to any other
party hereto. For the purposes of this Section and Section 9.01, “Information” shall mean all information received from the Borrower or Parent and related to the Borrower or Parent or their business, other than any such
information that was available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Borrower or Parent; provided that, in the case of Information received
from the Borrower or Parent after the Original Effective Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this
Section 9.16 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such person would accord its own confidential
information. 
 SECTION 9.17. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not
on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Parent and the Borrower, which information includes the name and
address of Parent and the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Parent and the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. 

SECTION 9.18. Loan Modification Offers. (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to
time, make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders of one or more Classes (each Class subject to such a Loan Modification Offer, an “Affected Class”) to make one or
more Permitted Amendments (as defined in clause (c) below) pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the
requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor 

  
 111 








 
more than 30 Business Days after the date of such notice, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent). Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and
Commitments of the Lenders of the Affected Class that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s
Loans and Commitments of such Affected Class as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made. 
 (b) The Borrower, Parent, each
Obligor (for purposes of reaffirming security interests and guarantee obligations) and each Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Loan Modification Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent
shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification
Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of
the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the applicable Loans and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders of the Affected Class, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the

subsequently issued or made Letter of Credit as between the commitments of such new “Class” and the remaining Commitments of the related Affected Class shall be made on a ratable basis as between the commitments of such new
“Class” and the remaining Commitments of the related Affected Class and (B) the expiration date with respect to Existing Letters of Credit and the expiration date applicable to the Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank may not be
extended without the prior written consent of such Issuing Bank, and (v) such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Finance Documents as shall be necessary or appropriate, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent or as otherwise may be
agreed upon by the parties to such Permitted Amendment, to obtain or give effect to the foregoing Permitted Amendments (it being agreed that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive customary agency fees for acting in such capacity for
any period after the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of any such Permitted Amendment (with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agreeing to negotiate in good faith the amount of such fees)
and that no 

  
 112 








 
such Permitted Amendment may affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable, to the Administrative Agent without the prior written consent thereto of the Administrative
Agent). 
 SECTION 9.19. Conversion of Currencies. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is
necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking
procedures in the relevant jurisdiction, the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given. 

(b) The obligations of each party in respect of any sum due to any other party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the
“Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement
Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking
procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, such
party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Obligors contained in this Section 9.19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder. 
 SECTION 9.20. Representation of Dutch Obligor. If, in respect of
any Obligor incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands, this Agreement or any other Finance Document is signed or executed by another person acting on behalf of such Obligor pursuant to a power of attorney executed and delivered by such Obligor,
it is hereby expressly acknowledged and accepted by the other parties to this Agreement or any other Finance Document that the existence and extent of such person’s authority and the effects of such person’s exercise or purported exercise
of his or her authority shall be governed by the laws of the Netherlands. 
 SECTION 9.21. No Fiduciary Relationship.
Each of Parent and the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a)(i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Finance Parties are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower, and its
Affiliates, on the one hand, and the applicable Finance Parties on the other hand, (ii) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (iii) the Borrower is capable of
evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Finance Documents; (b)(i) each of the Finance Parties 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 the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (ii) none of the Finance Parties has any
obligation to the Borrower, or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Finance Documents; and (c) the Finance Parties and their Affiliates may be

permitted by law, each of Parent and the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Finance Parties with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any
transaction contemplated hereby. 
 SECTION 9.22. Application of Proceeds. Unless the Intercreditor Agreement is
then in effect, the Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection, sale, foreclosure or other realization of any Collateral, including Collateral consisting of cash, in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2.01 of the
Intercreditor Agreement, adapted as necessary to account for the fact that the only First Lien Secured Parties (as defined therein) are the Secured Parties and for the Intercreditor Agreement not being in effect at such time.
