aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000. At the time that each Base Rate Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than
$5,000,000; provided that (i) a Base Rate Borrowing of Loans of any Class may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments of such Class and (ii) a Revolving Credit Base Rate

less than $5,000,000. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time. 
 SECTION 2.03. Requests for
Borrowings. To request a Syndicated Borrowing, the BorrowerObligor Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Syndicated Eurodollar Borrowing, not later

Business days before the date of the proposed Borrowing) or (b) in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be

Representative. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) whether the requested Borrowing is to be a Revolving Credit Borrowing or Term Loan Borrowing; 
 (ii) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing;

 Credit Agreement 









 - 24 - 
  

 (vi) the location and number of the account to which funds are to be disbursed, which
shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.06. 
 If no election as to the Type of Syndicated Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing
shall (x) in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing, be a Base Rate Borrowing and (y) in the case of a Term Loan Borrowing, be a Eurodollar Borrowing having an Interest Period of one month’s duration. If no Interest Period is
specified with respect to any requested Syndicated Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this
Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. 
 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the initial Borrowing hereunder shall be a Base Rate Borrowing, except to the extent that this Agreement
shall have been duly executed and delivered by each of the parties hereto at least three Business Days prior to the Effective Date and the Borrowers have given timely notice of a Eurodollar Borrowing after such execution and delivery (or,
alternatively, the Borrowers shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent a pre-funding letter in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent pursuant to which the Borrowers have agreed to reimburse the Lenders for
any costs of the type described in Section 2.15 in the event that, for any reason, the Effective Date and initial Loans do not occur on the date specified in such pre-funding letter). 
 SECTION 2.04. Letters of Credit. 
 (a)
General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in addition to the Revolving Credit Loans provided for in Section 2.01(a), the BorrowerObligor Representative may request the issuance of Letters of
Credit for any Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s account by any Issuing Bank (or, if agreed to by the respective Issuing Banks, by more than one Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit providing for several liability of the Issuing Banks
issuing such Letter of Credit), in a form reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Bank(s), at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Credit Availability Period. Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute utilization of
the Revolving Credit Commitments. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the
BorrowerObligor Representative on behalf of any Borrower or Subsidiary to, or entered into by the Borrowers or any Subsidiary with, one or more Issuing Banks relating to any Letters of Credit, the terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall control. 
 (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a
Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the BorrowerObligor Representative shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for
doing so have been approved by the respective Issuing Bank(s)) to one or more Issuing Bank(s) selected by it and to 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) of this Section 2.04), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the identity of the Borrower or Subsidiary for whose account such Letter of Credit is to be issued, 

  

 Credit Agreement 









 - 25 - 
  

 
the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If
requested by the respective Issuing Bank(s), the BorrowerObligor Representative also shall submit a letter of credit application on the standard form of such Issuing Bank(s) in connection with any request for a Letter of
Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrowers shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the aggregate LC Exposure of all of the Issuing Banks (determined for these purposes without giving effect to the participations therein of the Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to paragraph
(d) of this Section 2.04) shall not exceed $6,000,000,0003,000,000,000 (or if the Revolving Credit Commitments have been increased to a higher amount pursuant to Section 2.08(d), such higher amount),
(ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposure plus the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Competitive Loans shall not exceed the total Revolving Credit Commitments and (iii) the aggregate LC Exposure of each Issuing Bank (so
determined) shall not exceed the amount that such Issuing Bank has agreed shall be its “Maximum LC Exposure”. Any Issuing Bank listed in the table below hereby agrees that its “Maximum LC Exposure” shall be the amount set forth
opposite the name of such Issuing Bank in such table:

 The “Maximum LC Exposure” of any Issuing Bank that becomes such after the date hereof pursuant to a
designation by the Borrowers as contemplated in the definition of “Issuing Banks” shall be the amount specified in the written instrument contemplated by said definition. The “Maximum LC Exposure” of any Issuing Bank may be
increased at any time pursuant to a written instrument executed and delivered between the Borrowers, such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent. In no event shall any Revolving Credit Lender be obligated to increase its Maximum LC Exposure upon
an increase of Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.08(d). Concurrently with any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.10, the “Maximum LC Exposure” of each Issuing Bank shall be
automatically reduced by an amount equal to such Issuing Bank’s LC Applicable Percentage of the amount of such reduction. 
 (c)
Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, provided that in the case of any Letter of Credit having a
term of longer than 12 months, the respective Issuing Bank(s) may request that such Letter of Credit include customary early termination rights (which shall in any event permit the respective beneficiary thereof to draw the full amount of such
Letter of Credit upon receipt of notice of termination from such Issuing Bank(s)). 
 (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter
of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) by any Issuing Bank(s), and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Bank(s) or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank(s) hereby grant(s) to each Revolving 

  

 Credit Agreement 









 - 26 - 
  

 
Credit Lender, and each Revolving Credit Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank(s), a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving
Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to
pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank(s), such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank(s) and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as provided
in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.04, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to
this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a
Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 
 (e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall reimburse such Issuing Bank in respect of such LC Disbursement by paying to the
Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement (together with interest on the amount of such LC Disbursement for the period from the date of such LC Disbursement to but excluding the date of such reimbursement at a rate per annum equal
to the Adjusted Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate plus for any Commitment Utilization Day, the Applicable Additional Margin) not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, (i) for any Letter of
Credit with a face amount of $20,000,000 or more, on the Business Day that the BorrowerObligor Representative receives notice of such LC Disbursement if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, or the
Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrowers receive such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time or (ii) for any other Letter of Credit, on the second Business Day immediately following the day that the
BorrowerObligor Representative receives notice of such LC Disbursement, provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than $1,000,000, the BorrowerObligor Representative may, subject to the
conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with a Revolving Credit Base Rate Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation
to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Credit Base Rate Borrowing. 
 If the Borrowers fail to make
such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage
thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrowers, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with
respect to Revolving Credit Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the respective Issuing
Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the
respective Issuing Bank or, to the extent that the Revolving Credit Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a
Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 
  

 Credit Agreement 









 - 27 - 
  

 (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided
in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.04 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 term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the respective Issuing Bank(s) under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply strictly with the terms of such Letter
of Credit and (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.04, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrowers’
obligations hereunder. 
 Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have
any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit by such Issuing Bank or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to
in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing
thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the respective Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Bank from liability
to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by such
Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that: 
 (i) each Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit
without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of
Credit; 
 (ii) each Issuing Bank shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and
decline to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and 
 (iii) this sentence shall establish the standard of care to be exercised by an Issuing Bank when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof (and the parties hereto hereby
waive, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any standard of care inconsistent with the foregoing). 
 (g) Disbursement
Procedures. The Issuing Bank(s) for any Letter of Credit shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank(s) shall promptly notify
the Administrative Agent and the BorrowerObligor Representative by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank(s) have made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder;
provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank(s) and the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. 
  

 Credit Agreement 









 - 28 - 
  

 (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank(s) for any Letter of Credit shall make any LC
Disbursement, then, unless the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to
but excluding the date that the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans; provided that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to
paragraph (e) of this Section 2.04, then Section 2.12(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of such Issuing Bank(s), except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any
Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.04 to reimburse such Issuing Bank(s) shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment. 
 (i) Cash Collateralization. If either (i) an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the BorrowerObligor
Representative receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, or (ii) the Borrowers shall be required to provide cover for LC Exposure
pursuant to Section 2.10(b), the Borrowers shall immediately deposit into a cash collateral account in the name and under the control of the Administrative Agent an amount in cash equal to, in the case of an Event of Default, the LC Exposure as
of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and, in the case of cover pursuant to Section 2.10(b), the amount required under Section 2.10(b); provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become
effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of
Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the LC Exposure under this Agreement. 
 (j)
Existing Letters of Credit. Pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Existing NCI Credit Agreement, the Issuing Banks have issued various “Letters of Credit” under and as defined in the Existing NCI Credit Agreement. On the Effective
Date, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV, each of such “Letters of Credit” under the Existing NCI Credit Agreement shall automatically, and without any action on the part of any Person, become a
Letter of Credit hereunder (each Borrower hereby assuming the obligations of the “Borrower” under the Existing NCI Credit Agreement in respect of such “Letters of Credit”), and each of the “Issuing Banks” under the
Existing NCI Credit Agreement that is an Issuing Bank hereunder hereby unconditionally releases each “Revolving Credit Lender” under the Existing NCI Credit Agreement from any liability under such “Revolving Credit Lender’s”
participation under the Existing NCI Credit Agreement in respect of such Letter of Credit. 
 (k) Issuing Bank Agreements; Quarterly
Reports to Lenders. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the first Business Day of each week, the daily activity (set forth by day) in respect
of Letters of Credit during the immediately preceding week, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which
such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and
outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amount thereof changed), it being 

  

 Credit Agreement 









 - 29 - 
  

 
understood that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Letter of
Credit to occur without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that it is then permitted under this Agreement, (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date of such LC
Disbursement and the amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrowers fail to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure, and the amount of
such LC Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. 
 Promptly following the end of each fiscal quarter, the Administrative Agent shall furnish to the Lenders information regarding all outstanding Letters of Credit as of the end of such fiscal quarter. 
 SECTION 2.05. Competitive Bid Procedure. 
 (a) Requests for Bids by the Borrower. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from time to time during the Revolving Credit Availability Period, the Borrowers may request Competitive Bids and may (but shall not have
any obligation to) accept Competitive Bids and borrow Competitive Loans; provided that the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures plus the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Competitive Loans at any time shall not exceed
the total Revolving Credit Commitments. To request Competitive Bids, the BorrowerObligor Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than
11:00 a.m., New York City time, four Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing and, in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing;
provided that the BorrowerObligor Representative may submit up to (but not more than) three Competitive Bid Requests on the same day, but a Competitive Bid Request shall not be made within five Business Days after the
date of any previous Competitive Bid Request, unless any and all such previous Competitive Bid Requests shall have been withdrawn or all Competitive Bids received in response thereto rejected. Each such telephonic Competitive Bid Request shall be
confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Competitive Bid Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrowers. Each such telephonic and written Competitive Bid Request
shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.03: 
 (i) the aggregate amount of the requested
Borrowing; 
 (ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or a Fixed Rate Borrowing; 
 (iv) the initial Interest Period for such Borrowing, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest

 (v) the location and number of the account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with
the requirements of Section 2.06(a). 
  

 Credit Agreement 









 - 30 - 
  

 Promptly following receipt of a Competitive Bid Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of the details thereof by telecopy, inviting the Revolving Credit Lenders to submit Competitive Bids. 
 (b) Making of Bids by Lenders. Each Revolving Credit Lender may (but shall not have any obligation to) make one or more Competitive Bids to the Borrowers in response to a Competitive Bid Request. Each Competitive Bid by a Revolving
Credit Lender must be in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and must be received by the Administrative Agent by telecopy, in the case of a Eurodollar Competitive Borrowing, not later than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days
before the proposed date of such Competitive Borrowing, and in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, not later than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the proposed date of such Competitive Borrowing. Competitive Bids that do not conform substantially
to the form approved by the Administrative Agent may be rejected by the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Revolving Credit Lender as promptly as practicable. Each Competitive Bid shall specify
(i) the principal amount (which shall be a minimum of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and which may equal the entire principal amount of the Competitive Borrowing requested by the Borrowers) of the Competitive Loan or Loans
that the Lender is willing to make, (ii) the Competitive Bid Rate or Rates at which the Lender is prepared to make such Loan or Loans (expressed as a percentage rate per annum in the form of a decimal to no more than four decimal places) and
(iii) the Interest Period applicable to each such Loan and the last day thereof. 
 (c) Notification of Bids by Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers by telecopy of the Competitive Bid Rate and the principal amount specified in each Competitive Bid and the identity of the Revolving Credit Lender that shall have made such
Competitive Bid. 
 (d) Acceptance of Bids by the BorrowerObligor Representative. Subject only to the
provisions of this paragraph, the BorrowerObligor Representative may accept or reject any Competitive Bid. The Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone, confirmed by telecopy in a form approved by the
Administrative Agent, whether and to what extent it has decided to accept or reject each Competitive Bid, in the case of a Eurodollar Competitive Borrowing, not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the
proposed Competitive Borrowing, and in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the proposed date of the Competitive Borrowing; provided that (i) the failure of the
BorrowerObligor Representative to give such notice shall be deemed to be a rejection of each Competitive Bid, (ii) the Borrowers shall not accept a Competitive Bid made at a particular Competitive Bid Rate if the
Borrowers reject a Competitive Bid made at a lower Competitive Bid Rate, (iii) the aggregate amount of the Competitive Bids accepted by the Borrowers shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the requested Competitive Borrowing specified in the
related Competitive Bid Request, (iv) to the extent necessary to comply with clause (iii) above, the Borrowers may accept Competitive Bids at the same Competitive Bid Rate in part, which acceptance, in the case of multiple Competitive Bids
at such Competitive Bid Rate, shall be made pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such Competitive Bid, and (v) except pursuant to clause (iv) above, no Competitive Bid shall be accepted for a Competitive Loan unless such
Competitive Loan is in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000; provided further that if a Competitive Loan must be in an amount less than $5,000,000 because of the provisions of clause
(iv) above, such Competitive Loan may be for a minimum of $1,000,000 or any integral multiple thereof, and in calculating the pro rata allocation of acceptances of portions of multiple Competitive Bids at a particular Competitive Bid Rate
pursuant to clause (iv) above, the amounts shall be rounded to integral multiples of $1,000,000 in a manner determined by the Borrowers. A notice given by the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph shall be irrevocable. 
  

 Credit Agreement 









 - 31 - 
  

 (e) Notification of Acceptances by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each bidding Revolving Credit Lender by telecopy whether or not its Competitive Bid has been accepted (and, if so, the amount and Competitive Bid Rate so accepted), and each successful bidder will thereupon become bound, subject to
the terms and conditions hereof, to make the Competitive Loan in respect of which its Competitive Bid has been accepted. 
 (f) Bids by
the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent shall elect to submit a Competitive Bid in its capacity as a Lender, it shall submit such Competitive Bid directly to the BorrowerObligor Representative at least one
quarter of an hour earlier than the time by which the other Lenders are required to submit their Competitive Bids to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. 
 SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings. 
 (a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative
Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrowers by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrowers
maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by the BorrowerObligor Representative in the applicable Borrowing Request or Competitive Bid Request; provided that Revolving Credit Base Rate
Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement under any Letter of Credit as provided in Section 2.04(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the respective Issuing Bank for such Letter of Credit. 
 (b) Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of
any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with
paragraph (a) of this Section 2.06 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made
available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan
included in such Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections for Syndicated Borrowings. 
 (a) Elections by Borrowers. Each Syndicated Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case
of a Syndicated Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrowers may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a
Syndicated Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this 

  

 Credit Agreement 









 - 32 - 
  

 
Section 2.07. The Borrowers may elect different options for continuations and conversions with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing,
in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to
Competitive Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued. 
 (b) Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this
Section 2.07, the BorrowerObligor Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrowers were

Eurodollar Borrowing having an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if the Borrowers shall default in the payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan, or any reimbursement obligation in
respect of any LC Disbursement, and the Administrative Agent, at the

aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds received in prior fiscal quarters as to which a prepayment of the Indebtedness hereunder or the EDC Indebtedness has
not yet been made under this paragraph (other than as a result of the proviso hereto or the requirement to only use 50% of Excess Disposition Proceeds to make prepayments) shall exceed $500,000,000 in the aggregate (such excess amount, the
“Excess Disposition Proceeds”) then, not later than five Business Days after the delivery of the applicable Net Cash Proceeds Statement (or if such Net Cash Proceeds Statement shall not be delivered in conformity with the terms hereof,
five Business Days after the date such Net Cash Proceeds Statement was required to be delivered), the Borrowers shall apply 50% of such Excess Disposition Proceeds towards the prepayment of (A) the Loans and the reduction of the Commitments as
set forth in sub-clause (z) of this paragraph (and/or provide cover for LC Exposure as specified in Section 2.04(i)) and (B) the EDC Indebtedness (but only to the extent required under the EDC Credit Agreement), pro rata based on
their respective outstanding principal amount of loans thereunder as of the end of the period covered by the applicable financial statements (treating, for such purpose, as outstanding loans, the aggregate outstanding L/C Exposure and the unused
portion of the Commitments); provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to make a prepayment under this sub-clause (y) to the extent that (1) the Obligor Representative states in the applicable Net Cash Proceeds Statement that all
or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds (or an equivalent amount) is to be reinvested (or has been reinvested) in any assets used or to be used by the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries in the same or similar or related line of business,
and (2) such Net Cash Proceeds (or an equivalent amount) are or have been in fact so applied to such reinvestment within twelve months of the related Asset Sale or Recovery Event. 
 (z) Application. All amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments and Commitment reductions hereunder made pursuant to
sub-clause (y) of this paragraph shall be applied to the permanent reduction of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments whether or not any Loans are outstanding (and to the extent that, after giving effect to such reduction,
the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Competitive Loans would exceed the total Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall first, prepay Revolving Credit Loans, second, provide
cover for LC Exposure as specified in Section 2.04(i) and third, prepay Competitive Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess). 
 (c) Notification of Prepayments. The BorrowerObligor Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunderunder paragraph
(a) of this Section 2.10 (i) in the case of prepayment of a Syndicated Eurodollar Borrowing or of a Competitive Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or
(ii) in the case of prepayment of a Base Rate Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each
Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be
revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Syndicated Borrowing or Competitive Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders
holding Loans of such Class of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing under paragraph (a) of this Section 2.10 shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type

 Credit Agreement 









 - 39 - 
  

 If the rating system of Moody’s or S&P shall change, or if either such rating agency
shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrowers and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating
agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Facility Fee Rate shall be determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.

 - 41 - 
  

 SECTION 2.13. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for
a Eurodollar Borrowing: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest
error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate (in the case of a Syndicated Eurodollar Borrowing) or the LIBO Rate (in the case of a Competitive Eurodollar Borrowing) for such Interest Period; or

 (b) if such Borrowing is of a particular Class of Loans, the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders of
such Class (or, in the case of a Competitive Eurodollar Loan, any Lender that is required to make such Loan) that the Adjusted LIBO Rate (in the case of a Syndicated Eurodollar Borrowing) or the LIBO Rate (in the case of a Competitive Eurodollar
Borrowing), as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their respective Loans (or its Loan) of such Class included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the BorrowerObligor Representative and the Lenders by telephone or
telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the BorrowerObligor Representative and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any
Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Syndicated Borrowing to, or continuation of any Syndicated Borrowing as, a Syndicated Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Syndicated
Eurodollar Borrowing, such Syndicated Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Borrowing and (iii) any request by the Borrowers for a Eurodollar Competitive Borrowing shall be ineffective; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to
such notice do not affect all the Lenders, then requests by the Borrowers for Competitive Eurodollar Borrowings may be made to Lenders that are not affected thereby. 
 SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs. 
 (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with
or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or Issuing Bank; or 
 (ii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans or Fixed Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or
participation therein; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or
Fixed Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or any Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
  

 Credit Agreement 









 - 42 - 
  

 (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or Issuing Bank reasonably determines that any Change in
Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a
consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s
or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with
respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, or such Lender’s or Issuing
Bank’s holding company, for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) Certificates from Lenders. A certificate of a Lender or Issuing
Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.14 shall be delivered to the
BorrowerObligor Representative and shall be conclusive so long as it reflects a reasonable basis for the calculation of the amounts set forth therein and does not contain any manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such
Lender or Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Delay in Requests.
Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that
the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.14 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
notifies the BorrowerObligor Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided
further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 (e) Competitive Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, a Lender shall not be entitled to compensation pursuant to this
Section in respect of any Competitive Loan if the Change in Law that would otherwise entitle it to such compensation shall have been publicly announced prior to submission of the Competitive Bid pursuant to which such Loan was made. 
 SECTION 2.15. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan other than
on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Syndicated Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the
failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Syndicated Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable and is revoked in accordance herewith), (d) the
failure to borrow any Competitive Loan after accepting the Competitive Bid to make such Loan or (e) the assignment of any Syndicated Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or of any Competitive Loan
as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. 
  

 Credit Agreement 









 - 43 - 
  

 In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed
to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment,
conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing,
conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (in the case of a Syndicated Eurodollar Loan) or the LIBO Rate (in the case of a Competitive Eurodollar Loan) for such Interest Period,
over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of
such Lender) for U.S. dollar deposits from other banks in the eurodollar market at the commencement of such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this
Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the BorrowerObligor Representative and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days
after receipt thereof. 
 SECTION 2.16. Taxes. 
 (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the BorrowersObligors hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and
clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (except to the extent that, after request by the BorrowerObligor Representative, the respective Lender shall have failed to deliver the documents
referred to in paragraph (ef) of this Section 2.16); provided that if the BorrowersObligors shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then
(i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the
case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the BorrowersObligors shall make such deductions and (iii) the BorrowersObligors
shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) Other Taxes. In
addition the BorrowersObligors shall pay, or at the option of the Administrative Agent reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 (c) Indemnification by BorrowersObligors. The BorrowersObligors shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to
amounts payable under this Section 2.16) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be (and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto during the period prior to
the BorrowersObligors making the payment demanded under this paragraph (c)), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the BorrowerObligor Representative by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing
Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
  

 Credit Agreement 









 - 44 - 
  

 (d) Indemnification of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent
within 10 days after the demand thereof, for the full amount of any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Government Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. 
 (e) Receipt for Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
by the BorrowersObligors to a Governmental Authority, the BorrowerObligor Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such
Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (ef) Foreign Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the
law of the jurisdiction in which the BorrowersObligors are located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the
BorrowerObligor Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the BorrowerObligor Representative, such properly
completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. 
 (fg) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it
has been indemnified by the Borrowersany Obligor or with respect to which the Borrowersany Obligor have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the
Borrowerssuch Obligor an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowerssuch Obligor under this Section with respect to the Taxes or
Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority
with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrowerssuch Obligor, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, agree to repay the amount paid over to the
Borrowerssuch Obligor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or
such Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information
relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person. 
 SECTION 2.17. Payments Generally; Pro Rata
Treatment; Sharing of Set-Offs. 
 (a) Payments by Obligors. The BorrowersObligors shall make each payment
required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) or under any other Loan Document prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time,
on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding
Business Day for 

  

 Credit Agreement 









 - 45 - 
  

 
purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at such of its offices in New York City as shall be
notified to the relevant parties from time to time, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons
entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof, and the BorrowersObligors shall
have no liability in the event timely or correct distribution of such payments is not so made. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day,
and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. dollars. 
 (b) Application if Payments Insufficient. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully
all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the
amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and
unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties. 
 (c) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein:
(i) each Syndicated Borrowing of a particular Class from the Lenders under Section 2.01 hereof shall be made from the relevant Lenders, each payment of commitment fee under Section 2.11 hereof in respect of Commitments of a particular
Class shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments of a particular Class under Section 2.032.08 hereof shall be applied to the respective
Commitments of such Class of the relevant Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class; (ii) Syndicated Eurodollar Loans of any Class having the same Interest Period shall be allocated pro rata among
the relevant Lenders according to the amounts of their Commitments of such Class (in the case of the making of Syndicated Loans) or their respective Loans of such Class (in the case of conversions and continuations of Syndicated Loans);
(iii) each payment or prepayment by the Borrowers of principal of Syndicated Loans of a particular Class shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Syndicated
Loans of such Class held by them; (iv) each payment by the Borrowers of interest on Syndicated Loans of a particular Class shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Syndicated
Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders; and (v) each payment by the Borrowers of participation fees in respect of Letters of Credit shall be made for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata in accordance with the
amount of participation fees then due and payable to the Revolving Credit Lenders. 
 (d) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If, at any
time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise (including through voluntary prepayment by the Borrowers), obtain payment in
respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Syndicated Loans (or participations in LC Disbursements) of any Class resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate principal amount of its Syndicated Loans
(and participations in LC Disbursements) of such Class and accrued interest thereon than the proportion of such amounts received by any other Lender of such Class or any other Class, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase
(for cash at face value) participations in the Syndicated Loans (and LC Disbursements) of the other Lenders to the 

  

 Credit Agreement 









 - 46 - 
  

 
extent necessary so that the benefit of such payments shall be shared by all the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and
accrued interest on their respective Syndicated Loans (and participations in LC Disbursements); provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such
participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration
for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans (or participations in LC Disbursements) to any assignee or participant, other than to any Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this
paragraph shall apply). The BorrowersObligors consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements
may exercise against the BorrowersObligors’ rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the BorrowersObligors in the
amount of such participation. 
 (e) Presumptions of Payment. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the
BorrowerObligor Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank entitled thereto (the “Applicable Recipient”)
hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Applicable
Recipient the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each Applicable Recipient severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Applicable
Recipient with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. 
 (f) Certain Deductions by Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.04(d), 2.04(e), 2.06(b) or 2.17(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender
to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 SECTION 2.18.
Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 
 (a) Designation of Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 2.14, or if the BorrowersObligors are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such
Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans (or participations in LC Disbursements) hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to
any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The BorrowersObligors hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such
designation or assignment. 
 (b) Replacement of Lenders — Increased Costs, Etc. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.14, or if the BorrowersObligors are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or 

  

 Credit Agreement 









 - 47 - 
  

 
if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and
the Administrative Agent given by the BorrowerObligor Representative, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its
interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than any outstanding Competitive Loans held by it) to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment);
provided that (i) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Bank), which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld or
delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, other than Competitive Loans (and participations in LC Disbursements), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other
amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the BorrowersObligors (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such
assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to
make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. No assignment pursuant to this
Section 2.18(b) shall be deemed to impair any claim that the Borrowers may have against any Lender that defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder. 
 (c) Replacement of Lenders — Amendments. If, in connection with a request by any Borrower to obtain the consent of the Lenders to a waiver, amendment or modification of any of the provisions of this
Agreement that requires the consent of all of the Lenders under Section 9.02, one or more Lenders (the “Declining Lenders”) having Loans, LC Exposure and unused Commitments representing not more than 50% of the sum of the total
Loans, LC Exposure and unused Commitments at such time have declined to agree to such request, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender(s) and the Administrative Agent given by the
BorrowerObligor Representative, require all (but not less than all) of such Declining Lenders to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all
their interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees that shall assume such obligations (any of which assignees may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrowers
shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Bank), which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) each such Declining
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans (and participations in LC Disbursements), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under any other Loan
Document, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the BorrowersObligors (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) the BorrowersObligors
shall have paid to each of the Lenders compensation in an amount equivalent (taking into account the total Commitments, LC Exposure and Loans of such other Lenders) to any compensation required to induce the assignees to take such assignment from
the Declining Lenders.

 ARTICLE VIII 
 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

 Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. 
 JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender hereunder as any other
Lender and may exercise the same as though JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. were not the Administrative Agent, and any bank serving in the capacity of Administrative Agent from time to time and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and
generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate of any thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the
Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or
exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders, and
(c) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower or any of its
respective Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the
consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or, if provided herein, with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders of a particular Class, or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent
shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain
or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the contents of any 

  

 Credit Agreement 









 - 67 - 
  

 
certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or in connection herewith of therewith, (iii) the
performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative
Agent. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder or under
any other Loan Document. 
 The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any
notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or
by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other
experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 
 The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties, and exercise its rights and powers, by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such
sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the
Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent. 
 Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any
time by notifying the Lenders, each Issuing Bank and the BorrowerObligor Representative. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor
Administrative Agent. If no successor shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after such retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then such retiring Administrative Agent may, on
behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent by a
successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such retiring Administrative Agent, and such retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the
Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative
Agent. 
 Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank 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 

  

 Credit Agreement 









 - 68 - 
  

 
Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank 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 and the other Loan Documents, any related agreement or
any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Lead Arrangers,
Syndication Agent or Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any duties or responsibilities under this Agreement, except in their capacity, if any, as Lenders hereunder.

 SECTION 9.02.
Waivers; Amendments. 
 (a) No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing
Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder 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 consent to any departure by any BorrowerObligor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) of this Section 9.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of
a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the respective Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
 (b) Amendments to this Agreement. 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 Borrowers and the Required Lenders or by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall: 
 (i) increase any Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender; 
 (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable
hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; 
 (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the
principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of reduction or expiration of any Commitment, without
the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; 
 (iv) change Section 2.17(c) or 2.17(d), without the written
consent of each Lender affected thereby; or 
 (v) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.02 or the percentage
set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document or make any
determination or grant any consent hereunder or thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; 
 provided further that (A) no
such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the 

  

 Credit Agreement 









 - 70 - 
  

 
Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, as the case may be and (B) no consent, other than the Required Lenders of a Class (and of each affected Lender of
such Class) shall be required to effect any of the changes referred to in clause (iii) above with respect to such Class. 
 In
connection with any waiver, amendment or other modification to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to establish a “record date” to determine which Lenders are to be entitled to participate in consenting to such
waiver, amendment or modification (it being understood that Persons that become “Lenders” under this Agreement after such “record date” pursuant to an assignment in accordance with Section 9.04 shall not be entitled to
participate in such consent), provided that in no event shall such “record date” be a date more than 10 days earlier than the date such waiver, amendment or modification is distributed to the Lenders for execution. 
 Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (A) no waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement that has the effect
(either immediately or at some later time) of enabling the Borrowers to satisfy a condition precedent to the making of a Loan of any Class shall be effective against the Lenders of such Class, unless the Required Lenders of the affected Class shall
have concurred with such waiver or modification, and (B) no waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Lenders of any Class disproportionately
when compared to the Lenders of all other Classes shall be effective against the Lenders of such Class unless the Required Lenders of such Class shall have concurred with such waiver or modification, provided that nothing in this clause
(B) shall override any provision in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents that expressly permits any action to be taken, or waiver to be given, by the Required Lenders. 
 For purposes of this Section, the “scheduled date of payment” of any amount shall refer to the date of payment of such amount specified in this
Agreement, and shall not refer to a date or other event specified for the mandatory or optional prepayment of such amount. In addition, whenever a waiver, amendment or modification requires the consent of a Lender “affected” thereby, such
waiver, amendment or modification shall, upon consent of such Lender, become effective as to such Lender whether or not it becomes effective as to any other Lender, so long as the Required Lenders (or, as applicable, the Required Lenders of the
relevant Class) consent to such waiver, amendment or modification as provided above. 
 Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 9.02(b) with respect to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may, with the prior consent of the Required Lenders (but not otherwise), consent to any modification, supplement or waiver under any of the Loan Documents (other than this
Agreement); provided that without the prior consent of each Lender, the Administrative Agent shall not release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their guarantee obligations under Section 9.15; provided further that any
Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released from its guarantee obligations under Section 9.15 and all other obligations under the Loan Documents if such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a Disposition or
other transaction permitted by this Agreement so long as (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) no such release shall occur if such Subsidiary Guarantor continues to Guarantee the EDC Indebtedness or
any other Indebtedness of a Borrower unless and until such Subsidiary Guarantor is (or is being simultaneously) released from its Guarantee of the EDC Indebtedness and any other Indebtedness of the Borrowers and (iii) the Obligor Representative
shall have given notice of such Disposition to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly take such actions as may be reasonably requested by the Obligor Representative to effect and evidence any release pursuant to the
foregoing.

expenses incurred by the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Special Counsel, the preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments,
modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements

Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable
fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or
any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not
strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit) or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of
whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee. 
 (c)
Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9.03, each Lender severally agrees to pay to
the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified
loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such. To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by them to any
Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9.03, each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to pay to such Issuing Bank such Lender’s Applicable 

  

 Credit Agreement

Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that
the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Issuing Bank in its capacity as such. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the obligations of
the Borrowers under paragraph (b) above to reimburse the Lenders for any payment made under this paragraph (c). 
 (d) Waiver of
Consequential Damages, Etc. To the extent permitted by applicable law, none of the BorrowersObligors shall assert, and each BorrowerObligor 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, the other Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 (e) Payments.
All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

there are no outstanding Commitments, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of such Class of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered
to the Administrative Agent and treating related Approved Funds as one assignee for this purpose) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of
the Borrowers shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (B) each partial assignment shall be

the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements held by, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the 

  

 Credit Agreement 









 - 74 - 
  

 
Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in
the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (d) Acceptance of Assignments by Administrative Agent. Upon its
receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and
recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by said paragraph (b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information
contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 
 (e) Participations. 
 (i)
Participations Generally. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other financial institutions (a “Participant”) in all
or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans held by it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the
sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (e)(ii) of this Section 9.04, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall
be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04. To the extent permitted by law, each
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(d) as though it were a Lender. 
 (ii) Limitations on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14, 2.15 or
2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent. A
Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of
the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.16(ef) as though it were a Lender. 
 (f) Certain Pledges. Any
Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this
Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such
assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 (g) No Assignments to Borrowers or Affiliates. Anything in this Section 9.04 to the contrary
notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan or LC Disbursement held by it hereunder to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates or Subsidiaries without the prior consent of each Lender. 
 SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the BorrowersObligors herein and
in the other Loan Documents, and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding
that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect so long
as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not
expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, any assignment or
participation pursuant to Section 9.04 (with respect to matters arising prior to such assignment or participation), the repayment of the Loans and the payment of any other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the
expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof. 
 SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original,
but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the
subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and
when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent 
  

 Credit Agreement

permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other
indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the BorrowersObligors against any of and all the obligations of the BorrowersObligors now or hereafter existing
under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.08 are in
addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

 (a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the law of the State of New York.

its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (c) Waiver of Venue. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in
any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.09. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding
in any such court. 
 (d) Service of Process. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 
 SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A

Section 9.12, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (h) with the consent of the BorrowersObligors or
(i) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.12 or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential

BorrowerObligor Representative of any request for disclosure of any Information (A) by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination of the financial

 SECTION 9.14. Borrowers’ Obligations. 
 (a) Liability Joint and Several. Each Borrower (i) jointly and severally and irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety
but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers with respect to the payment and performance of all of the obligations hereunder, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all such obligations shall be the joint
and several obligations of each Borrower without preferences or distinction among them, and (ii) further agrees that if any of such obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by
acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise), the Borrowers will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever. All Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the delivery of funds to any
Borrower under this Agreement shall constitute valuable consideration and reasonably equivalent value to all Borrowers for the purpose of binding them and their assets on a joint and several basis for the obligations hereunder. 
 (b) Obligations Independent. The joint and several obligations of each Borrower hereunder are of payment and not of collection and are independent
of the obligations of any other Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought against each Borrower whether or not action is brought against any other Borrower. The Administrative Agent may enforce this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents against any Borrower without first making demand upon or instituting collection proceedings against any other Borrower. 
 (c)
Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Borrowers hereunder are absolute and unconditional, joint and several, and (in the case of any Borrower) irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the
obligations of any other Borrower under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any guarantee of or security for any of the obligations hereunder to the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent, the release of any other Borrower, or the failure to perfect any lien or security interest granted to or in favor of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective
of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Borrower, it being the intent of this Section that the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional,
joint and several, under any and all circumstances. Each Borrower hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any
right, power or remedy or proceed against any other Borrower or other Person under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein. 
 (d) Subrogation and Contribution. Without limiting the provisions of the next following paragraphs, each Borrower agrees not to seek payment directly or indirectly from another Borrower through a claim of
indemnity, contribution, or otherwise with respect to the obligations hereunder, until the date (herein, the “Payment in Full Date”) upon which all obligations of the Borrowers to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Revolving Credit Commitments have terminated. 
 The Borrowers
hereby agree, as between themselves, that if any Borrower (herein an “Excess Funding Borrower”) shall make Excess Payments (as defined below), each other Borrower shall, 

  

 Credit Agreement 









 - 79 - 
  

 
on demand of such Excess Funding Borrower (but subject to the next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Borrower an amount equal to such other
Borrower’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below) of the Excess Payments (as defined below). The payment obligation of a Borrower to any Excess Funding Borrower under this Section shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior
payment in full of all obligations of the Borrowers to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and such Excess Funding Borrower shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until
the Payment in Full Date. 
 For purposes of this Section, (i) “Excess Payments” means, in respect of a Borrower
determined for the entire term of this Agreement, the aggregate amount of payments made by such Borrower in respect of the Loans and Letters of Credit (and interest and fees thereon) in excess of the aggregate amount of the proceeds of the Loans
received by it and Letters of Credit opened for its benefit (and interest and fees thereon) and (ii) ”“Pro Rata Share” means, for any Borrower, the ratio (expressed as a
percentage), (x) the numerator of which is the aggregate amount determined for the entire term of this Agreement of the proceeds of the Loans received by it and Letters of Credit opened for its benefit (and interest and fees thereon) and
(y) the denominator of which is the aggregate amount determined for the entire term of this Agreement of the proceeds of all Loans, and Letters of Credit opened for the benefit of all Borrowers (and interest and fees thereon). 
 In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or Federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the
rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Borrower to make Excess Payments would otherwise, taking into account the preceding provisions of this paragraph (d), be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or
subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under this Agreement, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability in respect of such Excess Payments
shall, without any further action by such Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other
creditors as determined in such action or proceeding. 
 SECTION 9.15. Guarantee.  
 (a) The Guarantee. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby unconditionally jointly and severally guarantee, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to
each of the Guaranteed Parties and their respective successors and assigns the prompt performance and payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby further
unconditionally jointly and severally agree that (i) if any Borrower shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Obligations, the Subsidiary Guarantors will promptly pay the same upon
receipt of written demand for payment thereof, without any other demand or notice whatsoever, and (ii) in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Obligations, the Obligations will be promptly paid in full when due
(whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. This is a continuing guaranty and is a guaranty of payment and not merely of collection, and shall apply to all Obligations
whenever arising.

 (i) Guarantee Absolute. The occurrence
of any one or more of the following shall not affect, limit, reduce, discharge or terminate the liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain primary, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional as described above:

change in the manner or time for payment or performance, of the Obligations, any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument whatsoever relating to the Obligations, or any modification of the Commitments;

 (F) any proceeding by any of the Guaranteed Parties against any Obligor or any other Person or in respect of any collateral for
any of the Obligations, or the exercise by any of the Guaranteed Parties of any of their rights, remedies, powers and privileges under the Loan Documents, regardless of whether any of the Guaranteed Parties shall have proceeded against or exhausted
any collateral, right, remedy, power or privilege before proceeding to call upon or otherwise enforce this Agreement; 
 (G) the entering into any other transaction or business dealings with any Obligor, or any other Person; or 
 (H) any combination of the foregoing. 
 (ii) Waiver of Defenses. The liability of the Subsidiary Guarantors
and the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Guaranteed Parties hereunder shall not be affected, limited, reduced, discharged or terminated, and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any
defense now or in the future arising, by reason of: 
 (A) the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any
of the Obligations, any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument whatsoever relating to any of the Obligations;

 (B) any disability or other defense with respect to any of the Obligations,
including the effect of any statute of limitations, that may bar the enforcement thereof or the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor relating thereto; 
 (C) the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any other guaranty of or insurance for any of the Obligations or any lack
of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of the priority of any Lien on any collateral for any of the Obligations; 
 (D) the cessation, for any cause whatsoever, of the liability of any Obligor with respect to any of the Obligations (other than, subject to paragraph (c) of this Section 9.15, by reason of the payment thereof);

 (E) any failure of any of the Guaranteed Parties to marshal assets, to exhaust any collateral for any of the
Obligations, to pursue or exhaust any right, remedy, power or privilege it may have against any Obligor or any other Person, or to take any action whatsoever to mitigate or reduce the liability of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement, the
Guaranteed Parties being under no obligation to take any such action notwithstanding the fact that any of the Obligations may be due and payable and that any Obligor may be in default of its obligations under any Loan Document; 
 (F) any counterclaim, set-off or other claim which any Obligor has or claims with respect to any of the Obligations;

 (G) any failure of any of the Guaranteed Parties to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy, insolvency,

 (I) any action taken by any of the Guaranteed Parties that is authorized by this paragraph (b) or otherwise in this Agreement or by any other provision of any Loan Document, or any omission to take any such action;

 (J) any law, regulation, decree or order of any jurisdiction, or any other event, affecting any of the
Obligations or any Guaranteed Party’s rights with respect thereto; or 
 (K) any other circumstance
whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. 
 (iii) Waiver

Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization proceeding or otherwise, and the Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree
that they will indemnify the Guaranteed Parties on demand for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including out-of-pocket fees of counsel) incurred by them in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such out-of-pocket costs

Subsidiary Guarantor shall become an Excess Funding Subsidiary Guarantor (as defined below) by reason of the payment by such Subsidiary Guarantor of any of the Obligations, each other Subsidiary Guarantor shall, on written demand of such Excess

Guarantor that have been Guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor) to (y) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of all of the Subsidiary Guarantors exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of all of
the Subsidiary Guarantors (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Loan Documents), determined (A) with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor
that is a party hereto on the date hereof, as of the date hereof, and (B) with respect to any other Subsidiary Guarantor, as of the date such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under paragraph (a) of this Section 9.15 would otherwise, taking into account the provisions of paragraph
(f) of this Section 9.15, be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under paragraph (a) of this Section 9.15, then,
notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Subsidiary Guarantor, any Guaranteed Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest
amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
