 ARTICLE II 
 THE CREDITS 

Section 2.01 Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein: 

(a) Revolving Facility Loans. (A) Each Tranche A Lender severally agrees to make a loan or loans from time to time during the
Availability Period (each, a “Tranche A Revolving Facility Loan”) and (B) each Tranche B Lender severally agrees to make a loan or loans from time to time during the Availability Period (each, a “Tranche B Revolving
Facility Loan”), (1) in each case (i) in U.S. Dollars from its U.S. Lending Office to the U.S. Borrower, (ii) in U.S. Dollars and Foreign Currencies (other than Canadian Dollars) from its Foreign Lending Office to a German
Borrower and (iii) in U.S. Dollars and Foreign Currencies from its Foreign Lending Office to the Canadian Borrower and (2) in each case, after giving effect thereto and to the application of proceeds thereof, in an aggregate principal
amount that will not result in (I) such Lender’s Tranche A Revolving Facility Loans exceeding the Tranche A Revolving Facility Commitment of such Lender, (II) such Lender’s Tranche A Revolving Facility Exposure exceeding the Tranche A
Revolving Facility Commitment of such Lender, (III) such Lender’s Tranche B Revolving Facility Exposure exceeding the Tranche B Revolving Facility Commitment of such Lender, (IV) the Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure exceeding the lesser of
(x) the Aggregate Revolving Facility Commitments and (y) the Global Borrowing Base, (V) the aggregate U.S. Revolving Facility Exposure exceeding the U.S. Borrowing Base (the “U.S. Sublimit”), (VI) the German Revolving
Facility Exposure with respect to Germany Silicone Borrower exceeding the Germany Silicone Availability, (VII) the German Revolving Facility Exposure with respect to Germany Quartz Borrower exceeding the Global Borrowing Base (clauses (VI) and (VII)

least equal to the Tranche B Revolving Facility Commitment. Each Revolving Facility Loan made hereunder shall be deemed a Tranche B Revolving Facility Loan until the limitation in the immediately preceding sentence is satisfied and, thereafter, each
Revolving Facility Loan in excess thereof will be deemed a Tranche A Revolving Facility Loan. 

  
 75 









 (b) Overadvances. Insofar as Intermediate Holdings or the Borrowers may request and
the Administrative Agent or Required Tranche A Lenders may be willing in their sole and absolute discretion to make (v) any Revolving Facility Loans to any Borrower at a time when the Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure exceeds, or would
exceed with the making of any such Revolving Facility Loan, the Global Borrowing Base, (w) any Revolving Facility Loans to the U.S. Borrower at a time when the U.S. Revolving Facility Exposure exceeds, or would exceed with the making of any
such Revolving Facility Loan, the U.S. Sublimit, (x) any Revolving Facility Loans to the Germany Silicone Borrower at a time when the German Revolving Facility Exposure with respect to Germany Silicone Borrower exceeds, or would exceed with the
making of any such Revolving Facility Loan, the Germany Silicone Availability, (y) any Revolving Facility Loans to the Germany Quartz Borrower at a time when the German Revolving Facility Exposure with respect to Germany Quartz Borrower
exceeds, or would exceed with the making of any such Revolving Facility Loan, the Global Borrowing Base, or (z) any Revolving Facility Loans to the Canadian Borrower at a time when the Canadian Revolving Facility Exposure exceeds, or would
exceed with the making of any such Revolving Facility Loan, the Canadian Sublimit (any such Loan or Loans made under clauses (v), (w), (x), (y) or (z) being herein referred to individually as an “Overadvance”), the
Administrative Agent or Required Tranche A Lenders shall make, or require the Lenders to make, such Overadvances available to the applicable Borrower. All Overadvances shall be secured by the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof and of the
Security Documents and shall bear interest as provided in this Agreement for the Revolving Facility Loans generally. Any Overadvance made pursuant to the terms hereof shall be made by the Tranche A Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving
Facility Percentages. The foregoing notwithstanding, in no event (i) unless otherwise consented to by the Required Tranche A Lenders, shall Overadvances, together with the Protective Advances then outstanding, in the aggregate exceed 5.0% of
the then applicable Global Borrowing Base, (ii) shall any Overadvances be outstanding for more than 45 consecutive days, (iii) unless otherwise consented to by the Required Tranche A Lenders, after all outstanding Overadvances have been
repaid, shall the Administrative Agent or the Lenders make any additional Overadvances unless 30 days or more have expired since the last date on which any Overadvances were outstanding or (iv) unless otherwise consented to by each affected
Lender, shall the Administrative Agent make any Revolving Facility Loans on behalf of the applicable Tranche A Lenders under this Section 2.01(b) to the extent such Revolving Facility Loans would cause such Lender’s share of the Revolving
Facility Exposure to exceed such Lender’s aggregate Revolving Facility Commitment. The Required Tranche A Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s authorization to make future Overadvances (provided that existing
Overadvances shall not be subject to such revocation and any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof). If Overadvances are made in accordance with this
Section 2.01(b), then (A) the Global Borrowing Base, U.S. Sublimit, Germany Silicone Availability, German Sublimit and/or Canadian Sublimit, as applicable, shall thereafter be deemed ratably increased by the amount of such permitted
Overadvances, but only for so long as the Administrative Agent allows such Overadvances to be outstanding and (B) all Lenders shall be bound to make, or permit to remain outstanding, such Overadvances based upon their applicable Revolving
Facility Percentages in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

  
 76 









 (c) Protective Advances. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default or upon the inability of the Borrowers to satisfy the conditions to borrowing set forth in Section 4.01(b) after the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may make Tranche A Revolving Facility Loans to any
Borrower on behalf of the Lenders, so long as the aggregate amount of such Tranche A Revolving Facility Loans shall not, together with the aggregate amount of all Overadvances then outstanding, exceed 5.0% of the then applicable Global Borrowing
Base, if the Administrative Agent, in its Reasonable Credit Judgment, deems that such Tranche A Revolving Facility Loans are necessary or desirable (i) to protect all or any portion of the Collateral, (ii) to enhance the likelihood, or
maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and the other Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement (such Tranche A Revolving Facility Loans, hereinafter, “Protective
Advances”); provided, that (x) in no event shall the Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure exceed the Aggregate Revolving Facility Commitments, (y) the Required Tranche A Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative
Agent’s authorization to make future Protective Advances (provided; that existing Protective Advances shall not be subject to such revocation and any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the
Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof) and (z) unless otherwise consented to by each affected Lender, the Administrative Agent may not make Tranche A Revolving Facility Loans on behalf of the applicable Lenders under this
Section 2.01(c) to the extent such Tranche A Revolving Facility Loans would cause a Lender’s share of the Tranche A Revolving Facility Exposure to exceed such Lender’s Tranche A Revolving Facility Commitment. Any Protective Advance
made pursuant to the terms hereof shall be made by the Tranche A Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Facility Percentages. If Protective Advances are made in accordance with this Section 2.01(c), then (A) each Borrowing Base
shall thereafter be deemed ratably increased by the amount of such permitted Protective Advances, but only for so long as the Administrative Agent allows such Protective Advances to be outstanding and (B) all Tranche A Lenders shall be bound to
make, or permit to remain outstanding, such Protective Advances based upon their applicable Revolving Facility Percentages in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (d) Incremental Commitments. Each Lender having an Incremental Commitment agrees, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, to make

the same currency and of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments (or, in the case of Swingline Loans, by the Swingline Lender in accordance with its Swingline Commitment). The failure of
any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided, that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s
failure to make Loans as required.

may make any ABR Loan, Eurocurrency Loan, CDOR Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Loan by causing any U.S. Lending Office, Foreign Lending Office or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided, that any exercise of such option shall not
affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such Lender shall not be entitled to any amounts payable under Section 2.15 or 2.17 solely in respect of increased costs resulting from
such exercise and existing at the time of such exercise. 
 (c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurocurrency
Borrowing or CDOR Rate Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum. At the time that each ABR Borrowing or Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing is
made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum; provided, that an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire
unused available balance of the Commitments, or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e). Each Swingline Borrowing shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of the

Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Tranche A Lenders
that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided, that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of any
default in the payment thereof. 
 Section 2.05 Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein each of the Borrowers may request the issuance of Letters of Credit denominated in Foreign Currencies or U.S. Dollars, in each case for its own account (or for the account of a Subsidiary, so long as such Borrower and
such Subsidiary are co-applicants) in a form 

  
 81 









 
reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity
Date. 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 a Borrower to, or entered into by a Borrower with, an
Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. 
 (b) Notice of

extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), a Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent ((A) three (3) Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance or the requested date of amendment or extension, as the case may be, or (B) such shorter period as the Administrative Agent and the applicable
Issuing Bank in their sole discretion may agree) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended or extended, attaching the agreed form of Letter of Credit and specifying the date of
issuance, amendment or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the currency in which such
Letter of Credit is to be denominated (which may be a Foreign Currency), the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to issue, amend or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable
Issuing Bank, such Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended or extended only if (and upon
issuance, amendment or extension of each Letter of Credit such Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension (i) the Revolving L/C Exposure will not exceed the Letter of
Credit Sublimit, (ii) Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure will not exceed the lesser of (A) the Aggregate Revolving Facility Commitments and (B) the Global Borrowing Base, (iii) the aggregate U.S. Revolving Facility Exposure
will not exceed the U.S. Sublimit, (iv) the German Revolving Facility Exposure of Germany Silicone Borrower will not exceed the Germany Silicone Availability, (v) the German Revolving Facility Exposure of Germany Quartz Borrower will not
exceed the Global Borrowing Base, (vi) the aggregate Canadian Revolving Facility Exposure will not exceed the Canadian Sublimit and (vii) all conditions precedent in Section 4.01 have been satisfied (or waived by the Required Tranche

 (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the
earlier of (i) the date one year (unless otherwise agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank in their sole discretion) after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any extension
thereof, one year (unless otherwise agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank in their sole discretion) after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity
Date; provided, that any Letter of Credit with one year tenor may provide for automatic extension thereof for additional one year periods (which, in no event, shall extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) of this paragraph (c))
so long as such Letter of Credit permits the applicable Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in such twelve- 

  
 82 









 
month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof within a time period during such twelve-month period to be agreed
upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued; provided further, that if the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent each consent in their sole discretion, the expiration date on any Letter of Credit may extend beyond the date
referred to in clause (ii) above; provided, that if any such Letter of Credit is outstanding or the expiration date is extended to a date after the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date, the applicable
Borrower shall Cash Collateralize each such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the Minimum L/C Collateral Amount on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date or, if later, such date of issuance.

 (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount
thereof), and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Tranche A Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Tranche A Lender, and each such Tranche A Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a
participation in such Letter of Credit equal to the product of (i) such Tranche A Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage (irrespective of the maturity of the applicable Tranche A Revolving Facility Loan) and (ii) the aggregate amount
available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Tranche A Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in U.S. Dollars, for the account of the
applicable Issuing Bank, an amount equal to the product of (A) such Tranche A Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage and (B)(x) each L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank in U.S. Dollars and (y) the U.S. Dollar Equivalent,
using the applicable Spot Rate in effect on the date such payment is required, of each L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank in a Foreign Currency and, in each case, not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in
paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to any Borrower for any reason (or if such reimbursement was refunded in a Foreign Currency, the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof using the
applicable Spot Rate in effect on the date of such refund). Each Tranche A 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 Tranche A Revolving Facility Commitments,
and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 

(e) Reimbursement. (i) If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit,
the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement in the currency of such L/C Disbursement not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the next Business Day
after such Borrower receives notice under paragraph (g) of this Section 2.05 of such L/C Disbursement, together with accrued interest thereon from the date of such L/C Disbursement (x) in the case of L/C Disbursements in respect of
Letters of Credit issued for the account of the U.S. Borrower, at the rate applicable to ABR Loans (y) in the case of L/C Disbursements in respect of Letters of Credit issued for the account of a German Borrower, at the rate applicable to Euro
Swingline Loans and (z) in the case of L/C Disbursements in respect of Letters of Credit issued for the account 

  
 83 









 
of the Canadian Borrower, at the rate applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Loans; provided, that the applicable Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request
in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with an ABR Borrowing, a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing or a Swingline Borrowing, as applicable, in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s
obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Borrowing Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing or Swingline Borrowing. 
 (ii) If any Borrower fails to reimburse any L/C Disbursement when due, then (A) if such payment relates to a Foreign Currency Letter of Credit, automatically and with no further action required, such
Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the applicable L/C Disbursement shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the U.S. Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the applicable Spot Rate on the date when such payment was due,
of such L/C Disbursement and (B) in the case of each L/C Disbursement, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Bank and each other Tranche A Lender of such L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from such Borrower
in respect thereof and, in the case of a Tranche A Lender, such Tranche A Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Tranche A Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent in U.S. Dollars its
Revolving Facility Percentage of the payment then due from such Borrower in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Tranche A Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the
payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Tranche A Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from
a Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Tranche A Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then
to such Tranche A Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Tranche A Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any L/C Disbursement (other than the funding of an ABR Revolving Loan,
a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, or a Swingline Borrowing as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement. If a German Borrower’s or the Canadian
Borrower’s reimbursement of, or obligation to reimburse, any amounts in any Foreign Currency would subject the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or any Tranche A Lender to any stamp duty, ad valorem charge or similar Tax that
would not be payable if such reimbursement were made or required to be made in U.S. Dollars, then a German Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall, at its option, either (x) pay the amount of any such Tax requested by the
Administrative Agent, the relevant Issuing Bank or Tranche A Lender or (y) reimburse each L/C Disbursement made in such Foreign Currency in U.S. Dollars, in an amount equal to the U.S. Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the applicable
Spot Rate on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, of such L/C Disbursement. 
 (f) Obligations Absolute. The
obligations of the Borrowers to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement


  
 84 









 
under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein,
(ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank
under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that
might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.05, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the applicable Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Tranche A
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 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 such Issuing Bank, or any of the circumstances referred to in clauses (i),
(ii) or (iii) of the first sentence; provided, that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the applicable Issuing Bank from liability to the applicable Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to
consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the applicable Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the applicable Borrower that are determined by a final and binding decision of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have been caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in
the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank (found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each
such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of
Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary or refuse to accept and
make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 
 (g)
Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable
Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make a L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided, that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not
relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Tranche A Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement. 
 (h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on the date such L/C Disbursement is
made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from 

  
 85 









 
and including the date such L/C Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the applicable Borrower reimburses such L/C Disbursement, (i) in the case of L/C Disbursements made in
U.S. Dollars, and at all times following the conversion to U.S. Dollars of a L/C Disbursement made in a Foreign Currency pursuant to paragraph (e) above, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans, (ii) in the case of L/C
Disbursements made in Canadian Dollars, and at all times prior to their conversion to U.S. Dollars pursuant to paragraph (e) above, at the rate applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Loans and (iii) in the case of L/C Disbursements made in
Foreign Currencies, at all times prior to their conversion to U.S. Dollars pursuant to paragraph (e) above, at the rate applicable to Euro Swingline Loans; provided that, if such L/C Disbursement is not reimbursed by the applicable
Borrower when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05, then Section 2.13(e) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph (h) shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that
interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Tranche A Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05 to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Tranche A Lender to the extent of such payment.

 (i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among
Intermediate Holdings, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Tranche A Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall
become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have
all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such
successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall
continue to have all the rights and obligations of such Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. 

(j) Cash Collateralization Following Certain Events. If and when a Borrower is required to Cash Collateralize any Revolving L/C
Exposure relating to any outstanding Letters of Credit pursuant to any of Sections 2.05(c), 2.11(b), 2.11(c), 2.21(a) or 7.01, such Borrower shall promptly deposit (but no later than on the same Business Day in the case of an Event of Default
described in Section 7.01(h) or (i) or on the third Business Day following the date on which Intermediate Holdings receives notice from the Administrative Agent in the case of any other Event of Default, demanding the deposit of Cash
Collateral pursuant to this paragraph) in an account with or at the direction of the Collateral Agent, in the name of the Collateral Agent and for the benefit of the Tranche A Lenders, an amount in cash in U.S. Dollars or the applicable Foreign
Currency equal to the Revolving L/C Exposure as of such date (or, in the case of Sections 2.05(c), 2.11(b), 2.11(c) or 2.21(a)(v), the portion thereof required by such sections) plus any accrued or unpaid interest thereon. For the purposes of
this paragraph, the Foreign Currency Letters of Credit shall be calculated using the Spot Rate on the date notice demanding Cash Collateralization is delivered to Intermediate Holdings (or the date of the Event of Default under Section 7.01(h)
or (i), if applicable). Each deposit of Cash Collateral (i) made pursuant to this paragraph, (ii) made by the Administrative Agent during the continuation of an Event of 

  
 86 









 
Default or (iii) made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Sections 2.11(d), 2.18(b) or 2.21(c) in each case, shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and
performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of
such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of (i) for so long as an Event of Default shall be continuing, the Collateral Agent and (ii) at any other time, the applicable Borrower, in each case, in
Permitted Investments and at the risk and expense of the Borrowers, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Collateral
Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which such Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the Revolving
L/C Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Tranche A Lenders with Revolving L/C Exposure representing greater than 50.0% of the total Revolving L/C Exposure), be applied to satisfy
other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. If a Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default or the existence of a Defaulting Lender or the occurrence of a
limit under Section 2.11(b) or 2.11(c) being exceeded, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived or the
termination of the Defaulting Lender status or the limits under Sections 2.11(b) and 2.11(c) no longer being exceeded, as applicable. 
 (k) Cash Collateralization Following Termination and Prepayment of the Facility. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of the prepayment in full of all outstanding Revolving
Facility Loans and the termination of all Revolving Facility Commitments by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.08(b) (a “Facility Termination Event”) in connection with which any Borrower notifies any one or more Issuing Banks
that it intends to maintain one or more Letters of Credit initially issued under this Agreement in effect after the date of such Facility Termination Event (each, a “Continuing Letter of Credit”), then the security interest of the
Collateral Agent in the Collateral under the Security Documents may be terminated in accordance with Section 9.18 if each such Continuing Letter of Credit is Cash Collateralized in an amount equal to the Minimum L/C Collateral Amount, which
shall be deposited with or at the direction of each such Issuing Bank. 
 (l) Additional Issuing Banks. From time to
time, Intermediate Holdings may by notice to the Administrative Agent designate any Tranche A Lender (in addition to JPMCB) each of which agrees (in its sole discretion) to act in such capacity and is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent as an Issuing Bank. Each such additional Issuing Bank shall execute a counterpart of this Agreement upon the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and shall thereafter be an Issuing Bank
hereunder for all purposes. 
 (m) Reporting. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank
shall (i) provide to the Administrative Agent copies of any notice received from any Borrower pursuant to Section 2.05(b) no later than the next Business Day after receipt thereof and (ii) report in writing to the Administrative
Agent (A) on the first Business Day of 

  
 87 









 
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 cancelations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (B) 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 occurred (and whether the amount thereof
changed), and no Issuing Bank shall be permitted to issue, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension is then permitted
under this Agreement, (C) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any L/C Disbursement, the date of such L/C Disbursement and the amount of such L/C Disbursement, (D) on any Business Day on which a Borrower fails to reimburse
a L/C Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure, the applicable Borrower and the amount and currency of such L/C Disbursement and (E) on any other Business Day, such other information as
the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, including but not limited to prompt verification of such information as may be requested by the Administrative Agent. 
 (n) Conversion. In the event that the Loans become immediately due and payable on any date pursuant to Section 7.01, all amounts (i) that a Borrower is at the time or thereafter becomes
required to reimburse or otherwise pay to the Administrative Agent in respect of L/C Disbursements made under any Foreign Currency Letter of Credit (other than amounts in respect of which such Borrower has deposited Cash Collateral pursuant to
paragraph (j) or (k) above, if such Cash Collateral was deposited in the applicable Foreign Currency to the extent so deposited or applied), (ii) that the Tranche A Lenders are at the time or thereafter become required to pay to the
Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent is at the time or thereafter becomes required to distribute to the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05 in respect of unreimbursed L/C Disbursements made
under any Foreign Currency Letter of Credit and (iii) of each Tranche A Lender’s participation in any Foreign Currency Letter of Credit under which an L/C Disbursement has been made shall, automatically and with no further action required,
be converted into the U.S. Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the applicable Spot Rates on such date (or in the case of any L/C Disbursement made after such date, on the date such L/C Disbursement is made), of such amounts. On and after such
conversion, all amounts accruing and owed to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or any Tranche A Lender in respect of the obligations described in this paragraph (n) shall accrue and be payable in U.S. Dollars at the rates
otherwise applicable hereunder. 
 Section 2.06 Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to
be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders;
provided, that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of
the applicable Borrower as specified in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided, further, that ABR Revolving Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Loans and Swingline Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of a L/C Disbursement and
reimbursements as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank. 

  
 88 









 (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in
accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.06 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable
Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for
each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, (x) in the case of a
Borrowing by the U.S. Borrower, the greater of (a) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (b) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (y) in the case of a
Borrowing by a German Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Euro Swingline Loans at such time or (z) in the case of Borrowing by the Canadian Borrower, the greater of (i) the Administrative Agent’s cost of funds and (ii) a
rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, or (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by a Borrower, (x) in the case of a Borrowing by the U.S. Borrower, the interest
rate applicable to ABR Loans at such time (y) in the case of a Borrowing by a German Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Euro Swingline Loans at such time and (z) in the case of a Borrowing by the Canadian Borrower, the interest rate
applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Loans at such time. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. If such Borrower pays such amount to the
Administrative Agent, then such amount (exclusive of any interest thereon) shall constitute a reduction of such Borrowing. 

Section 2.07 Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing
Request (subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement) and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a CDOR Rate Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the applicable
Borrower (other than any German Borrower) may elect (subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement) to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a CDOR Rate
Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.07. The applicable Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be
allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section 2.07 shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not
be converted or continued. 
 (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.07, a Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such election by telephone (other than with respect to a notification made by a German Borrower which shall be made in writing by hand delivery or electronic 

  
 89 









 
means) by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the
effective date of such election. Any such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by
the Administrative Agent and signed by such Borrower. 
 (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall be
irrevocable and shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the
Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be
specified pursuant to clauses (iii), (iv) and/or (v) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 

(iii) in the case of Borrowings by the U.S. Borrower, whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a
Eurocurrency Borrowing; 
 (iv) in the case of a Borrowing in Canadian Dollars by the Canadian Borrower, whether
the resulting Borrowing is a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing or a CDOR Rate Borrowing; and 
 (v) if the resulting
Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a CDOR Rate Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”

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

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender to which such Interest
Election Request relates of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
 (e) If any
Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a CDOR Rate Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at
the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be (i) in the case of a Borrowing by the U.S. Borrower, converted to an ABR Borrowing, (ii) in the case of a CDOR Rate Borrowing, converted to a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing and
(iii) in the case of a Borrowing by a German Borrower or a Eurocurrency Borrowing by the Canadian Borrower, continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration commencing on the last day of such Interest
Period. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has

Loan Parties shall be made solely in respect of Loan Document Obligations of the Foreign Loan Parties.

Eurocurrency Borrowings effective for each day in such period, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account (x) three (3) Business Days after the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and three
(3) Business Days after the date on which all the Commitments shall be terminated as provided herein, a fronting fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the period from and including the date of issuance of such
Letter of Credit to and including the termination of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate equal to the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of 1/8 of 1.0% per annum of the daily average stated amount of such Letter of Credit, plus (y) in
connection with the issuance, amendment or transfer of any such Letter of Credit or any L/C Disbursement thereunder, such Issuing Bank’s customary documentary and processing fees and charges (collectively, “Issuing Bank Fees”).

(c) Intermediate Holdings agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Administrative Agent, the agency fees set
forth in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter, at the times specified therein (the “Administrative Agent Fees”). 
 (d) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that Issuing Bank Fees shall be

 (e)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any Fees or other amount payable by any Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear
interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.0% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding clauses of this Section 2.13 or
(ii) in the case of any other amount (x) payable by the U.S. Borrower, 2.0% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this 

  
 95 









 
Section, (y) payable by a German Borrower, 2.0% plus the rate applicable to Eurocurrency Loans as provided in paragraph (d) of this Section or (z) payable by the Canadian

a leap year) and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable ABR, Adjusted LIBO Rate, LIBO Rate, EURO LIBO Rate or Euro Swingline Rate shall be determined
by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (h) For purposes of disclosure
pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of
360 days or any other period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent are the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 360 or such other period of time, respectively.

 Section 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a
Eurocurrency Borrowing: 
 (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the LIBO Rate or the EURO LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such currency for such Interest Period; or 

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

  
 96 









 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the applicable Borrower and the applicable
Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the applicable Borrower and the applicable Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any
Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in such currency shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to or continued as on
the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (x) in the case of a Borrowing by the U.S. Borrower, an ABR Borrowing or (y) in the case of a Borrowing by a German Borrower, a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one
month’s duration, or (z) in the case of a Borrowing by the Canadian Borrower, a Canadian Prime Rate Loan and (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as (x) in the case of a
Borrowing by the U.S. Borrower, an ABR Borrowing (y) in the case of a Borrowing by a German Borrower, a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration or (z) in the case of a Borrowing by the Canadian Borrower,

such Interest Period; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Canadian Borrower and the Lenders by
telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Canadian Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (x) any Interest Election Request
that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a CDOR Rate Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (y) if any Borrowing Request requests a CDOR Rate Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Canadian Prime
Rate Borrowing. 
 Section 2.15 Increased Costs. (a) 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) subject the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes, Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letter of credit,
commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributed thereto; or 

(iii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or
Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 

  
 97 









 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining
any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or 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 Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as
applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. If any Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Swingline Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly
notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. 
 (b)
If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or 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 or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing
Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing
Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time, after submission by such Lender or Issuing Bank to the applicable
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing
Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of
a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to
the applicable Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

 (d) Promptly after any Lender or any Issuing Bank has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation
pursuant to this Section 2.15, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall notify the applicable Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall not constitute a
waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the applicable Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.15 for any increased
costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, notifies such Borrower of the Change in 

  
 98 









 
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 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

Section 2.16 Break Funding Payments. (a) In the event of (i) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan
other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (ii) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as
a result of Section 2.20), (iii) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (iv) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the
last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19 or the CAM Exchange, then, in any such event, such Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense
attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to be the amount determined by such Lender (it being understood that the deemed amount shall not exceed the actual amount) to be
the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of
such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue a Eurocurrency Loan, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (B) the
amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in U.S. Dollars of a comparable amount and period from
other banks in the Eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower and shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 
 (b) In the event of (i) the payment of any principal of any CDOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default),
(ii) the conversion of any CDOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of Section 2.20), (iii) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any CDOR Rate Loan on the
date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (iv) the assignment of any CDOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Canadian Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.19 or the CAM Exchange, then, in any such event, the Canadian Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a CDOR Rate Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender
shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender (it being understood that the deemed amount shall not exceed the actual amount) to be the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal
amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the CDOR Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to
borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (B) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the 

  
 99 









 
interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for Canadian Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Canadian
bankers’ acceptance market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Canadian Borrower and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Canadian Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 
 Section 2.17 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any
Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in good faith judgment of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Taxes from such payments by a withholding agent, then the
applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or
Other Tax, 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 2.17) the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing
Bank, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made. 
 (b) In
addition, the Loan Parties shall pay on a timely basis any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for such Other Taxes. 

(c) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within ten
(10) 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 2.17) paid by the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such person and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Loan Party by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent
on its own behalf, on behalf of another Agent or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan
Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of
Section 9.04(c)(i) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be

conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or
otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d). 
 (e) As soon as practicable after any payment of any Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the
original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(f) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any
Loan Party is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to such Loan Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), to the extent such Lender is legally entitled to do
so, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as may reasonably be requested by such Loan Party to permit such payments to be made without such withholding tax
or at a reduced rate; provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation under this paragraph (f)(i) with respect to any withholding Tax imposed by any jurisdiction other than the United States of America, Canada or the Federal Republic
of Germany if in the reasonable judgment of such Lender such compliance would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. 

(ii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by
FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the
Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by
Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations
under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(f)(ii), “FATCA”
shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 (g) 

(i) The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrowers (in such number of copies as shall be requested by a Borrower)
on or prior to the date on which the Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and from time to time thereafter (A) promptly upon the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered to
the Administrative Agent and (B) upon the 

  
 101









 
reasonable request of a Borrower, a properly completed and duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8IMY (or any other form prescribed by applicable law reasonably requested by a
Borrower), which, in the event a Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States of America, certifies that payments by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent (solely in its capacity as payee of such payments and not as the beneficial
owner of such payments) are exempt from withholding under the Code. 
 (ii) If the Administrative Agent is a U.S.
branch described in Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)(A) of the Treasury Regulations and delivers to the Borrowers a properly completed and duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY pursuant to Section 2.17(f)(i) certifying that the
Administrative Agent is a U.S. branch and intends to be treated as a U.S. person for purposes of withholding under Chapter 3 of the Code, then the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat the Administrative Agent as a U.S. person for
purposes of withholding under Chapter 3 of the Code, pursuant to Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Treasury Regulations. 
 (iii) In the event a Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States of America, 
 (A) each Foreign Lender shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon
the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two original copies of whichever of the following is applicable: (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any subsequent versions thereof or
successors thereto), claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party, (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any subsequent versions thereof or
successors thereto), (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a
“bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 871(h)(3) or 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign
corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) and (iv) duly completed copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, together with forms and certificates described in clauses (i) through (iii) above (and additional Form W-8IMYs) as may be required; and 

(B) each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two copies of
Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) on or before the date such Lender becomes a party and upon the expiration of any form previously delivered by such Lender, certifying that payments to such
Lender are exempt from withholding under the Code. 
 (iv) Each Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally
entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the date on which such 

  
 102









 
Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), any other form prescribed by
applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States of America federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to
determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. In addition, in each of the foregoing circumstances, each Foreign Lender shall deliver such forms, if legally entitled to deliver such forms, promptly upon the obsolescence, expiration or
invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender. Each Lender shall promptly notify a Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to such Borrower (or any
other form of certification adopted by the United States of America or other taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause, a Foreign Lender (for the avoidance of doubt, acting solely in its capacity as a
Lender) shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this clause that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver. 
 (h) If any party determines, in good faith and in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified or with respect to which such indemnifying party has
paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to such indemnifying party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid under this Section 2.17 with respect to the
Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out of pocket expenses (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) of such indemnified party, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph
(h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the
indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never
been paid. This paragraph (h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems, in good faith and in its sole discretion, to be
confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other person. 
 Section 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment;
Sharing of Set-offs. (a) Unless otherwise specified, each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of L/C Disbursements, or of amounts payable under
Section 2.15, 2.16, or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after
such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall 

  
 103









 
be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to such Borrower by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to the applicable Issuing Bank or the
Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.05 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. 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 under the Loan Documents of (i) principal and interest in respect of any Loan shall be made in the
currency in which such Loan is denominated and (ii) any other amount shall be made in U.S. Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the
Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such
payment. 
 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from any Borrower to
pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed L/C Disbursements, interest and fees then due from such Borrower hereunder, such funds or proceeds of Collateral shall be applied, subject to the Security Documents, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement
and any other applicable intercreditor agreement: first, ratably, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Issuing Bank from such Borrower; second,
ratably, to pay interest due and payable in respect of, Protective Advances and Overadvances; third, ratably, to pay the outstanding principal of Protective Advances and Overadvances; fourth, ratably, to pay the outstanding principal
of any Swingline Loans; fifth, ratably, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Tranche A Lenders from such Borrower; sixth, ratably, to pay interest due and payable in respect of any unreimbursed L/C Disbursements
and Tranche A Revolving Facility Loans; seventh, ratably, to pay the outstanding principal of Tranche A Revolving Facility Loans (other than Protective Advances and Overadvances) then due from such Borrower hereunder; eighth, ratably,
to Cash Collateralize Revolving L/C Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j); ninth, ratably, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Tranche B Lenders from such Borrower; tenth,
ratably, to pay interest due and payable in respect of any Tranche B Revolving Facility Loans; eleventh, ratably, to pay the outstanding principal of Tranche B Revolving Facility Loans then due from such Borrower hereunder; twelfth,
ratably, to the payment of any amounts due and owing in respect of applicable Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements; and thirteenth ratably, to pay all other applicable Obligations due to the Agents, Issuing Banks or
any Lender by such Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) subject to the definition of the term “Reserves” and Section 6.02(dd), (A) a portion of the amounts payable under any Designated
Secured Cash Management Agreements and Designated Secured Hedge Agreements (which shall equal the product of (x) the total amounts payable under such Designated Secured Cash Management Agreements and Designated Secured Hedge Agreements in
clauses (A) and (B) hereof and (y) the ratio of the seventh item to the sum of the seventh and the eleventh items (not taking into account any amounts in clause (x) hereof)) shall be repaid ratably with the seventh item in this
waterfall and (B) the remaining amounts payable under such Designated Secured Cash 

  
 104









 
Management Agreements and Designated Secured Hedge Agreements shall be repaid ratably with the eleventh item in this waterfall, (ii) proceeds of Collateral of Foreign Loan Parties shall be
applied only to the repayment of Obligations of the Foreign Loan Parties and (iii) no proceeds of Collateral of Domestic Loan Parties shall be applied to the Obligations of the Foreign Loan Parties until the Obligations of the Domestic Loan
Parties shall have been paid in full or Cash Collaterized in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no amount received from any Guarantor, or from the proceeds of Collateral pledged by such Guarantor, shall be
applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Guarantor. 
 (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate
amount of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender entitled thereto, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase
participations in the Revolving Facility Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other applicable Lenders entitled thereto to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
applicable Lenders entitled thereto ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided, that (i) if any
such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the
provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or
sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements to any Assignee or Participant. Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender
acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the
amount of such participation. 
 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such
payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then
each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent at the greater of (A)(i) in the case of Loans to the U.S. Borrower, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, (ii) in the case of
any other Loans, the Administrative Agent’s cost of funds, (iii) in the case of any other amounts denominated in U.S. Dollars, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and (iv) in the case of any other amounts denominated in a currency other
than U.S. Dollars, the Administrative Agent’s cost of funds and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 

  
 105









 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b), 2.18(d) or 2.21, 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 Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 Section 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount
to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign
its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or
2.17, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) If any Lender
requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or is a Defaulting Lender, then such
Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04),
all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, that (i) such Borrower shall have
received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if in respect of any Commitment or Revolving Facility Loan, the Swingline Lenders and the Issuing Banks), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender
shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued Fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the
Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or such Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. Nothing in this Section 2.19 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that any Borrower
may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender. No action by or consent of the removed Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price.
In connection with any such assignment the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent, such removed Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04; provided, that if such removed Lender does not comply with
Section 2.19 within three (3) Business Days after such Borrower’s request, compliance with Section 2.19 shall not be required to effect such assignment. 

  
 106









 (c) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to
consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.08 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent,
then, provided that no Event of Default exists, the applicable Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) at its sole expense (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in
Section 9.04(b)(ii)(B)) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by deeming such Non-Consenting Lender to have assigned its Loans and Commitments hereunder to one or more Assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline
Lenders and the Issuing Banks; provided, that: (a) all Loan Document Obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Non-Consenting Lender (including accrued Fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder) being replaced shall be paid in
full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon. No action by or consent of the Non-Consenting Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such
assignment the Borrowers, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04; provided, that if such Non-Consenting Lender does not comply with Section 9.04 within
three (3) Business Days after Intermediate Holdings’ request, compliance with Section 9.04 shall not be required to effect such assignment. 
 Section 2.20 Incremental Commitments. (a) Any Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request Incremental Commitments in an amount not to exceed the
Incremental Amount at the time of such request from one or more Incremental Lenders (which may include any existing Lender) willing to provide such Incremental Commitments in their own discretion; provided, that each Incremental Lender shall
be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless such Incremental Lender is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund. Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of
the Incremental Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $2.5 million and a minimum amount of $10.0 million or equal to the remaining Incremental Amount or such lesser amount acceptable to the Administrative Agent),
(ii) the date on which such Incremental Commitments are requested to become effective (the “Increased Amount Date”), and (iii) whether such Incremental Commitments are to be (A) commitments to make additional
Revolving Facility Loans on the same terms as such Revolving Facility Loans in effect on the Closing Date (the “Initial Revolving Facility Loans”) or (B) commitments to make revolving loans with pricing terms, final maturity
date and/or upfront or similar fees or other terms different from the Initial Revolving Facility Loans (such commitments, the “Other Revolving Facility Commitments”, and such revolving loans, the “Other Revolving Facility
Loans”). 

  
 107









 (b) The applicable Borrowers and each Incremental Lender shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Commitment of such Incremental Lender. Each Incremental Assumption Agreement shall
specify the terms of the applicable Incremental Commitments; provided, that: 
 (i) the Other Revolving
Facility Loans shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and of security with the Initial Revolving Facility Loans and, except as to pricing, final maturity date and/or upfront or similar fees, shall have (x) the same terms as the
Initial Revolving Facility Loans or (y) such other terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, 
 (ii) the final maturity date of any Other Revolving Facility Loans shall be no earlier than the Maturity Date then in effect for the Initial Revolving Facility Loans, 

(iii) the Other Revolving Facility Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not
greater than a pro rata basis) in comparison to the Initial Revolving Facility Loans in any voluntary or mandatory prepayment or commitment reduction hereunder (except, in each case, at maturity), 

(iv) the All-in Yield shall be the same as that applicable to the Initial Revolving Facility Loans, except that the All-in
Yield in respect of any such Other Revolving Facility Loan may exceed the All-in Yield in respect of any Initial Revolving Facility Loans (including Tranche A Revolving Facility Loans and Tranche B Revolving Facility Loans) by no more than 0.50% or,
in each case, if such Other Revolving Facility Loans do so exceed such All-in Yield (such difference, the “Yield Differential”) then the Applicable Margin applicable to all Initial Revolving Facility Loans shall be increased such
that after giving effect to such increase, the Yield Differential shall not exceed 0.50%. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent
(but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Commitments evidenced thereby as provided for in Section 9.08(e). Any amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document that is necessary to effect
the provisions of this Section 2.20 and any such collateral and other documentation shall be deemed “Loan Documents” hereunder and may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers and furnished to the other
parties hereto, and 
 (v) any additional Revolving Facility Loans shall be ratably divided into Tranche A
Revolving Facility Loans and Tranche B Revolving Facility Loans. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Commitment
shall become effective under this Section 2.20 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, to the extent required by the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement, the conditions set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of
Section 4.01 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Responsible Officer of Intermediate Holdings, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received
customary legal opinions, board resolutions and other customary closing certificates and documentation to the extent required by the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement and, to the extent required by the Administrative Agent, consistent with
those delivered on the Closing Date and such additional customary documents and filings (including amendments to the Mortgages and other Security Documents and title endorsement bringdowns) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to
assure that the additional Revolving Facility Loans and/or the Other Revolving 

  
 108









 
Facility Loans in respect of the Incremental Commitments are secured by the Collateral ratably with (or, to the extent contemplated by the Incremental Assumption Agreement, junior to) the then
existing Revolving Facility Loans and (iii) after giving effect to such Incremental Commitment, Intermediate Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall be in compliance with the Financial Performance Covenant on a Pro Forma Basis. 

(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to
ensure that all additional Revolving Facility Loans in respect of Incremental Commitments (other than Other Revolving Facility Loans), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Tranche A Revolving Facility Loans and Tranche
B Revolving Facility Loans on a pro rata basis. The Borrowers agree that Section 2.16 shall apply to any conversion of Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Rate Loans, as applicable to ABR Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, as
reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to effect the foregoing. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Section 2.18(c) (which provisions shall not be applicable to clauses (e) through (i) of this Section 2.20), pursuant to one or more offers made from time to time by a Borrower to all Lenders of any Class of Commitments, on a pro
rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding Commitments under such Class) and on the same terms (“Pro Rata Extension Offers”), such Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate transactions with individual Lenders from time to time
to extend the maturity date of such Lender’s Commitments of such Class and to otherwise modify the terms of such Lender’s Commitments of such Class pursuant to the terms of the relevant Pro Rata Extension Offer (including without
limitation increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Lender’s Commitments of such Class). For the avoidance of doubt, the reference to “on the same terms” in the preceding sentence shall mean, in the case of an
offer to the Lenders under any Class of Revolving Facility Commitments, that all of the Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class are offered to be extended for the same amount of time and that the interest rate changes and fees payable with
respect to such extension of such Class are the same. Any such extension (an “Extension”) agreed to between such Borrower and any such Lender (an “Extending Lender”) will be established under this Agreement by
implementing an Incremental Commitment for such Lender (such extended Revolving Facility Commitment, an “Extended Revolving Facility Commitment”). 
 (f) The applicable Borrower and each Extending Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent
shall reasonably specify to evidence the Extended Revolving Facility Commitments of such Extending Lender. Each Incremental Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of the applicable Extended Revolving Facility Commitments; provided, that
(i) except as to pricing, fees and final maturity (which shall be determined by such Borrower and set forth in the Pro Rata Extension Offer), any Extended Revolving Facility Commitment shall have (A) the same terms as an existing Class of
Revolving Facility Commitments or (B) have such other terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) any Extended Revolving Facility Commitments may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata
basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments or commitment reductions hereunder. Upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended to


  
 109









 
the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Revolving Facility Commitments evidenced thereby as provided for in Section 9.08(e). Any such
deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers and furnished to the other parties hereto. If provided in any Incremental Assumption Agreement with respect to any Extended Revolving Facility Commitments,
and with the consent of each Swingline Lender and Issuing Bank, participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be reallocated to lenders holding such Extended Revolving Facility Commitments in the manner specified in such Incremental
Assumption Agreement, including upon effectiveness of such Extended Revolving Facility Commitment or upon or prior to the maturity date for any Class of Revolving Facility Commitment. 

(g) Upon the effectiveness of any such Extension, the applicable Extending Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment will be
automatically designated an Extended Revolving Facility Commitment. For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such Extending Lender will be deemed to have an Incremental Commitment having the terms of such Extended Revolving
Facility Commitment. 
 (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document
(including without limitation this Section 2.20), (i) the aggregate amount of Extended Revolving Facility Commitments will not be included in the calculation of the Incremental Amount, (ii) no Extended Revolving Facility Commitment is
required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, (iii) any Extending Lender may extend all or any portion of its Revolving Facility Commitment pursuant to one or more Pro Rata Extension Offers (subject to applicable proration in
the case of over participation) (including the extension of any Extended Revolving Facility Commitment), (iv) there shall be no condition to any Extension of any Commitment at any time or from time to time (other than (x) notice to the
Administrative Agent of such Extension and the terms of the Extended Revolving Facility Commitment implemented thereby and (y) the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of Section 4.01 and the receipt by
the Administrative Agent of a certificate to that effect dated as of the effective date of the Extension and executed by a Responsible Officer of Intermediate Holdings), (v) no consent of any Lender or Agent shall be required to effectuate any
Extension, other than the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Loans and/or Commitments (or a portion thereof), (vi) all Extended Revolving Facility Commitments and all obligations in respect
thereof shall be Obligations of the relevant Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations of the relevant Loan Parties under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and (vii) no Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender shall be obligated to provide Swingline Loans or issue Letters of Credit under such Extended Revolving Facility Commitments beyond the applicable maturity date of the applicable
Commitments that were extended by such Extended Revolving Facility Commitments unless it shall have consented thereto. 
 (i)
Each Extension shall be consummated pursuant to procedures set forth in the corresponding Pro Rata Extension Offer; provided, that the applicable Borrower shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent prior to making any Pro Rata Extension
Offer to establish reasonable procedures with respect to mechanical provisions relating to such Extension, including, without limitation, timing, rounding and other adjustments.

 Section 2.21 Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement
to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (a) Commitment Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Available Unused Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; 
 (b) Any Revolving Facility Commitment or any Revolving Facility Loan of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders, Required Tranche A Lenders, Special
Majority Lenders or Super Majority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.08); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply
to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender under Section 9.04(a)(i) or subclauses (i), through (ix) of the first proviso to Section 9.08(b);

 (c) If any Swingline Exposure or Revolving L/C Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

 (i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and Revolving L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be
reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Facility Percentages of Tranche A Revolving Facility Commitments but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Tranche A Revolving
Facility Exposure plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and Revolving L/C Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Tranche A Revolving Facility Commitments; 

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable
Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Bank only
such Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 2.05(j) for so long as such Revolving L/C Exposure is outstanding; 
 (iii) if any Borrower Cash
Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure pursuant to subclause (ii) above, such Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12 with respect to
such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure is Cash Collateralized;

in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Facility Percentages with respect to Tranche A Revolving Facility Commitments; and 

  
 111









 (v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C
Exposure is neither reallocated nor Cash Collateralized pursuant to subclause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all fees payable under Section 2.12
with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure shall be payable to such Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such Revolving L/C Exposure is reallocated and/or Cash Collateralized; and 

(d) So long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing
Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Revolving L/C Exposure will be 100% covered by the Tranche A Revolving
Facility Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or Cash Collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.21(c), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter
of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). 
 (e) In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender
to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and Revolving L/C Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such
of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Revolving Facility Percentage. 

(f) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting
Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, following an Event of Default or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.06 shall be applied at such time or times as may be
determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such
Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Revolving L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.05(j); fourth, to the funding of any Loan in

Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed
by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.21 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 

Section 2.22 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any change in law has made it unlawful, or that any
Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers
through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Rate Loans or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurocurrency Borrowings or Canadian Prime Rate Borrowings to CDOR Rate Borrowings shall be
suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent), either convert all Eurocurrency Borrowings or CDOR Rate Borrowings of such Lender to ABR Borrowings or Canadian Prime Rate Borrowings, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully
continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Borrowings or CDOR Rate Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued
interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

 Section 5.01 Existence; Businesses and Properties.
(a) Do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its legal existence, except, in the case of a Subsidiary that is not a Borrower, where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate,
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, that and except as otherwise permitted under Section 6.05, Intermediate Holdings may liquidate or dissolve one or more Subsidiaries if the assets of such
Subsidiaries to the extent they exceed estimated liabilities are acquired by Intermediate Holdings or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Intermediate Holdings in such liquidation or dissolution, except that, unless otherwise permitted by
Section 6.05, Subsidiary Loan Parties may not be liquidated into Subsidiaries that are not Loan Parties and Domestic Subsidiaries may not be liquidated into Foreign Subsidiaries. 

(b) Except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, do or cause to be done all things necessary to (i) lawfully obtain, preserve, renew, extend and keep in full force and effect the permits, franchises, authorizations, patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses
and rights with respect thereto necessary to the normal conduct of its business, (ii) comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations (including any zoning, building ordinance, code or approval or any building
permits or any restrictions of record or agreements affecting the Mortgaged Properties) and judgments, writs, injunctions, decrees and orders of any Governmental Authority, whether now in effect or hereafter enacted, and (iii) at all times
maintain and preserve all property necessary to the normal conduct of its business and keep such property in good repair, working order and condition and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all needful and proper repairs, renewals,
additions, improvements and replacements thereto necessary in order that the business carried on in connection therewith, if any, may be properly conducted at all times (in each case except as permitted by this Agreement). 

(c) Do or cause to be done all things necessary to keep the Germany Quartz Borrower as a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Germany
Silicone Borrower or, to the extent the Germany Quartz Borrower shall cease to be a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Germany Silicone Borrower, the German Sublimit with regard to the Germany Quartz Borrower shall be modified such that the
maximum German Revolving Facility Exposure with respect to the Germany Quartz Borrower shall not exceed the Global Borrowing Base less the German Silicone Borrowing Base. 
 Section 5.02 Insurance. (a) Maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, insurance in such amounts and against such risks as are customarily maintained by similarly
situated companies engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations and cause the Administrative Agent to be listed as a co-loss payee on property and casualty policies and as an additional insured on liability
policies.

Mortgages) are located is designated a “special flood hazard area” in any Flood Insurance Rate Map published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency), obtain flood insurance in such reasonable total amount as
required by applicable law, and otherwise comply with the National Flood Insurance Program as set forth in the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as it may be amended from time to time.

any other parties other than the aforesaid parties for the recovery of such loss or damage and (B) such insurance companies shall have no rights of subrogation against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, any Issuing Bank or their agents or
employees. If, however, the insurance policies, as a matter of the internal policy of such insurer, do not provide waiver of subrogation rights against such parties, as required above, then each of Intermediate Holdings and the Borrowers, on behalf
of itself and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries, hereby agrees, to the extent permitted by law, to waive, and further agrees to cause each of its Subsidiaries to waive, its right of recovery, if any, against the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders, any Issuing Bank and their agents and employees; and 
 (ii) the designation of any form, type or amount
of insurance coverage by the Administrative Agent under this Section 5.02 shall in no event be deemed a representation, warranty or advice by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders that such insurance is adequate for the purposes of the
business of Holdings (prior to a Qualified IPO), Intermediate Holdings or any Subsidiary or the protection of their properties.

from time to time (but not more than twice per year) to provide the Administrative Agent with additional appraisals or updates thereof of any or all of the Collateral from one or more Acceptable Appraisers (as selected by Intermediate Holdings), and
prepared in a form and on a basis reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, in which case such appraisals or updates shall be used in connection with the determination of the Net Orderly Liquidation Value and the Net Orderly Liquidation
Value In-Place and the calculation of any Borrowing Base hereunder. In connection with any appraisal requested by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 5.07, the Loan Parties shall be given twenty (20) days following such
request by the Administrative Agent to choose and engage the Acceptable Appraiser prior to the commencement of such appraisal. With respect to each appraisal made pursuant to this Section 5.07 after the Closing Date, (i) the Administrative
Agent and the Loan Parties shall each be given a reasonable amount of time to review and comment on a draft form of the appraisal prior to its finalization and (ii) any adjustments to the Net Orderly Liquidation Value and the Net Orderly

and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, Mortgages and other documents and recordings of Liens in

satisfied, all at the expense of the Loan Parties, and provide to the Administrative Agent, from time to time upon reasonable request, evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as to the perfection and priority of the Liens
created or intended to be created by the Security Documents, in each case subject to paragraph (f) below. 

  
 133









 (b) If any asset (other than Real Property or improvements thereto or any interest therein)
that has an individual fair market value in an amount greater than $5.0 million is acquired by any Loan Party after the Closing Date or owned by an entity at the time it becomes a Loan Party (in each case other than (x) assets constituting
Collateral under a Security Document that become subject to the Lien of such Security Document upon acquisition thereof and (y) assets that are not required to become subject to Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 5.10(f) or the Security Documents) (i) notify the Administrative Agent thereof and (ii) cause such asset to be subjected to a Lien securing the applicable Obligations and take, and cause the other Loan Parties to take, such

Mortgages delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.10(g) or in such other form as is reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable Agent (each, an “Additional Mortgage”) and constituting valid and enforceable
Liens subject to no other Liens except Permitted Liens, at the time of perfection thereof, record or file, and cause each such Loan Party to record or file, the Additional Mortgage or instruments related thereto in such manner and in such places as

change to have a valid, legal and perfected security interest in all the Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties and (ii) promptly notify the Administrative Agent if any material portion of the Collateral is damaged or destroyed.


  
 134









 (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any Security
Document, the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and the other provisions of this Section 5.10 and the other provisions of the Loan Documents with respect to Collateral need not be satisfied with respect to any of the following (collectively,

 (i) any Real Property held by any of the Subsidiaries as a lessee
under a lease, 
 (ii) any vehicle, 

(iii) certain cash, deposit accounts and securities accounts to be mutually agreed between Intermediate Holdings and the
Administrative Agent, 
 (iv) any Equity Interests owned on or acquired after the Closing Date (other than Equity
Interests in any Borrower or, in the case of any person which is another Subsidiary, Equity Interests in such person issued or acquired after such person became a Subsidiary) in accordance with this Agreement if, and to the extent that, and for so
long as (x) with respect to contractual obligations, such Equity Interests constitute less than 100.0% of all applicable Equity Interests of such person and the person holding the remainder of such Equity Interests are not Intermediate Holdings
or any Subsidiary, (y) doing so would violate applicable law or a contractual obligation binding on such Equity Interests and (z) with respect to contractual obligations, such obligation existed at the time of the acquisition thereof and
was not created or made binding on such Equity Interests in contemplation of or in connection with the acquisition of such Subsidiary, 
 (v) any assets owned on or acquired after the Closing Date, to the extent that, and for so long as, taking such actions would violate applicable law or an enforceable contractual obligation binding on
such assets that existed at the time of the acquisition thereof and was not created or made binding on such assets in contemplation or in connection with the acquisition of such assets (except in the case of assets owned on the Closing Date or
acquired with Indebtedness of the type permitted pursuant to Section 6.01(i)), 
 (vi) (A) entities
that become Subsidiaries (with any Subsidiary Redesignation resulting in an Unrestricted Subsidiary being designated as a Subsidiary being deemed to constitute the acquisition or formation of a Subsidiary) after the Closing Date if the
Administrative Agent, after consultation with Intermediate Holdings, shall reasonably determine that the costs or other consequences of obtaining a guarantee of the applicable Obligations from such entities is excessive in relation to the value to
be afforded to the Lenders thereby or (B) those assets as to which the Administrative Agent, after consultation with Intermediate Holdings, shall reasonably determine that the costs or other consequences of obtaining or perfecting a security
interest in such assets are excessive in relation to the value of the security to be afforded thereby, in each case taking into account the costs and legal and practical difficulties of obtaining such


  
 135









 
guarantees and security from Foreign Subsidiaries, including (x) the costs of obtaining such guarantee or security interest, or perfecting such security interest, in relation to the value of
the credit support to be afforded thereby, (y) general statutory limitations, financial assistance, corporate benefit, fraudulent preference, thin capitalization, retention of title claims and similar principles and (z) the fiduciary
duties of directors, contravention of legal prohibitions or risk of personal or criminal liability on the part of any officer; provided, that, upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, Intermediate Holdings shall and shall
cause any applicable Subsidiary to, use commercially reasonably efforts to have waived or eliminated any contractual obligation of the types described in clauses (iv) and (v) above, 

(vii) perfection of any security interest in Collateral to the extent such perfection (or the steps required to provide
such perfection) would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the relevant Loan Party to conduct its operations and business in the ordinary course as permitted by the Loan Documents, 

(viii) other than with respect to Section 5.12(b)(v), perfection of any security interest in Accounts or other
Collateral to the extent such perfection would require notice to customers of Intermediate Holdings and the Subsidiaries prior to the time that a Default has occurred and is continuing; or 

(ix) all assets that would constitute Notes Priority Collateral at any time that are not pledged to secure First-Priority
Lien Obligations (as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) at such time (other than Equipment of the Foreign Loan Parties located in an Eligible Machinery and Equipment Jurisdiction), or 

(g) Complete on or prior to the day that is 90 days after the Closing Date (or such longer time as the Administrative Agent shall permit
in its reasonable discretion), all actions necessary in order to perfect the security interests of the Secured Parties set forth on Schedule 5.10, including paragraphs 1 and 2 of Schedule 5.10 with respect to the Mortgaged
Properties. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the U.S. Collateral Agreement, or any other Loan
Document, (x) the Administrative Agent may grant extensions of time for, or waive the requirements to obtain, the creation or perfection of security interests in or the obtaining of title insurance and surveys with respect to particular assets
(including extensions beyond the Closing Date for the perfection of security interests in the assets of the Loan Parties on such date) where it determines, in consultation with Intermediate Holdings, that perfection or obtaining of such items cannot
be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and (y) Liens required to be granted from time to time pursuant to the Collateral and
Guarantee Requirement and the Security Documents shall be subject to exceptions and limitations set forth in the Security Documents and, to the extent appropriate in the applicable jurisdiction, as otherwise agreed between the Administrative Agent
and Intermediate Holdings. 
 Section 5.11 Compliance with Material Contracts. Perform and observe all of the terms
and conditions of each material agreement to be performed or observed by it, maintain 

  
 136









 
each such material agreement in full force and effect, enforce each such material agreement in accordance with its terms, except where the failure to do so, either individually or in the

 Section 5.12 Cash Management Systems;
Application of Proceeds of Accounts. 
 (a) (i) Each Loan Party (A) shall enter into a customary account control
agreement or equivalent arrangement, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the relevant account bank (each, an “Account Control Agreement”) with the Collateral Agent and any bank or other financial
institution with respect to accounts specified in Sections 5.12(c) and (d)(i), as applicable and (B) may, at its option, enter into an Account Control Agreement with the Collateral Agent and any bank or other financial institution with
which such Loan Party maintains any other account (each such account of a Loan Party subject to an Account Control Agreement in subclauses (A) and (B), a “Controlled Account”), in each case, covering such account. 

(ii) Notwithstanding paragraph (i) above, each Loan Party may maintain separate payroll, disbursement and other
fiduciary accounts (“Excluded Accounts”) so long as (A) such Loan Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such Excluded Accounts receive no deposits from Account Debtors in respect of an Account,
(B) such Loan Party shall promptly upon becoming aware of any deposit in such accounts from Account Debtors in respect of an Account cause such deposits to be transferred to a Controlled Account and (C) such Loan Party shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such accounts shall only receive deposits in amounts reasonably expected to be required to satisfy the payroll, disbursement or other fiduciary obligations to be made from such accounts from time to
time. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Loan Parties shall not be required to comply with the foregoing with respect to accounts specified in Schedule 5.12(a) until 60 days after the Closing Date (or such longer time permitted
by the Administrative Agent). 
 (iii) In the case of accounts set forth on Schedule 5.12(a), on or
prior to the date that is 60 days after the Closing Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree), each applicable Loan Party shall open new bank accounts in order to segregate payroll and other payable activities from Collection
Accounts and shall procure that all amounts standing to the credit of each such Loan Party’s Collection Accounts on Schedule 5.12(a) (other than in respect of payroll and other payable activities) shall promptly upon opening of such
new bank account be transferred to such new bank accounts or another Controlled Account. 
 (iv) Each Loan Party
shall, promptly upon the applicable Collection Account becoming subject to an Account Control Agreement, (A) instruct each Account Debtor to make payment, or to continue to make payment, to a Controlled Account or an Additional Collection

 137









 (v) If the Account Debtor in respect of any Account of a Loan Party makes
any payment to the applicable Loan Party via wire transfer, such Loan Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to direct the Account Debtor to make any such payments to a Controlled Account or an Additional Collection Account and if,
notwithstanding such direction, such payment is not so made by such Account Debtor, such Loan Party shall deposit such amount in a Controlled Account or Additional Collection Account as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within two
(2) Business Days of the receipt thereof. 
 (vi) If any funds are received by the applicable Loan Party
from any Account Debtor in respect of any Account by check or by any other means other than via wire transfer into a Controlled Account or an Additional Collection Account, such Loan Party shall cause such funds to be deposited into a Controlled
Account or an Additional Collection Account as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within two (2) Business Days of the receipt thereof. 
 (vii) In the event that (A) any applicable Loan Party or any account bank shall, after the Closing Date, terminate an agreement with respect to the maintenance of a Controlled Account for any reason
or (B) the Collateral Agent shall demand such termination as a result of the failure of such account bank to comply with the terms of the applicable Account Control Agreement, each applicable Loan Party shall promptly notify all of its Account
Debtors to make all future payments to another Controlled Account or, in the case of a Domestic Loan Party or a Canadian Loan Party, an Additional Collection Account, as applicable. 

(viii) Any Loan Party may close and/or open any account (including any Controlled Account) maintained at any bank or other
financial institution; provided, that (i) in the case of any Domestic Loan Party or Canadian Loan Party (x) such Loan Parties, collectively, shall at all times maintain at least one Primary Concentration Account and (y) any new
Primary Concentration Account shall be subject to compliance with Section 5.12 with respect thereto and (ii) in the case of any German Loan Party, such Loan Party has received prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be
unreasonably withheld) with respect to any such change. 
 (b) (i) Each Account Control Agreement shall require, after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Availability Trigger Event, the ACH or wire transfer no less frequently than once per Business Day (unless the Termination Date has occurred) of all available cash balances and cash receipts, including the
then contents or then entire ledger balance of each Controlled Account net of such minimum balance, if any, required by the bank at which such Controlled Account is maintained to an account maintained by the Collateral Agent (the “Dominion
Account”). The Dominion Account shall at all times be under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent. 
 (ii) Subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and any other applicable intercreditor agreement, all collected amounts received in the Dominion Account during the continuance of an Availability Trigger
Event shall be distributed and applied on a daily basis in the order specified in Section 2.11(d) by the Administrative 

  
 138









 
Agent; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any repayment or prepayment of the Revolving Facility Loans pursuant to this Section 5.12 shall not reduce the Revolving Facility
Commitments then in effect. 
 (iii) Any amounts held or received in the Dominion Account (including all interest
and other earnings with respect thereto, if any) at any time (A) on or after the Termination Date, (B) when the Availability Trigger Event is no longer continuing or (C) when no Loans are outstanding and all Letters of Credit have
been Cash Collateralized, shall be remitted to the applicable Loan Parties as Intermediate Holdings may direct. 

(iv) At any time at the request of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion following the occurrence of (1) an
Event of Default with respect to any Loan Party or (2) a Default with respect to the Germany Silicone Borrower or the Germany Quartz Borrower, each applicable Loan Party shall (A) either (x) immediately cause all of their existing
Collection Accounts to be transferred to the name of the Collateral Agent or (y) to the extent such existing Collection Accounts cannot be transferred to the Collateral Agent, promptly open new Collection Accounts with (and, at the discretion
of the Collateral Agent, in the name of) the Collateral Agent (such new bank accounts being Collection Accounts under and for the purposes of this Agreement), and (B) if new Collection Accounts have been established pursuant to this
Section 5.12 (each a “New Collection Account”) ensure that the proceeds of all Accounts owing to each such Loan Party will immediately be redirected to the New Collection Accounts. Until all collections relating to Accounts
have been redirected to the New Collection Accounts, each such Loan Party shall cause all amounts on deposit in any existing Collection Account to be transferred to a New Collection Account at the end of each Business Day; provided that if
any such Loan Party does not instruct such redirection or transfer, each of them hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to give such instructions on their behalf to the applicable Account Debtors and/or the account bank holding such existing
Collection Account, as applicable. 
 (v) At any time at the request of the Administrative Agent in its sole
discretion following the occurrence of (x) an Event of Default with respect to any Loan Party or (y) a Default with respect to the Germany Silicone Borrower or the Germany Quartz Borrower with respect to which the Administrative Agent
expects may result in an Event of Default, each applicable Loan Party agrees that if any of its Account Debtors have not previously received notice of the security interest of the Collateral Agent over the Accounts, it shall promptly give notice to
such Account Debtors and if any such Loan Party does not serve such notice, each such Loan Party hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to serve such notice on their behalf. 
 (c) Each of the Germany Quartz Borrower and the Germany Silicone Borrower shall enter into an Account Control Agreement with respect to each Collection Account of such Borrower indicated as such on
Schedule 5.12(c) (other than an Excluded Account or otherwise agreed in writing by the Administrative Agent). 

  
 139









 (d) (i) Each Domestic Loan Party and Canadian Loan Party shall enter into Account Control
Agreements with respect to Primary Concentration Accounts of such Loan Party.

Additional Collection Account that is not itself a Controlled Account shall be transferred to a Controlled Account within two (2) Business Days (or, if an Availability Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing, one (1) Business Day)
such that the aggregate remaining balance of all Additional Collection Accounts after giving effect to such transfer shall not exceed $5,000,000 (or, if an Availability Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing, $2,000,000). 

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph (d) to the contrary, the Loan Parties shall be deemed to be in

Closing Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree). 
 Section 5.13 Foreign Pension Plans. All
Foreign Pension Plans established or maintained by any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries shall comply with all provisions of the relevant law and none of Intermediate Holdings or any Subsidiary thereof shall have any unfunded liability in respect of
any Foreign Pension Plan except in each case as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Indebtedness if such sale or transfer is permitted hereunder and under the documents providing for such Indebtedness; 
 (g)
there shall have occurred a Change in Control; 
 (h) an involuntary case or proceeding shall be commenced or an involuntary

the benefit of creditors or (vi) become unable or admit in writing its inability or fail generally to pay its debts as they become due; 

  
 166









 (j) the failure by Intermediate Holdings or any Subsidiary to pay one or more final

other such events or conditions, if any, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or

required by this Agreement or the relevant Security Document and subject to such limitations and restrictions as are set forth herein and therein) in the securities, assets or properties covered thereby, except to the extent that any such loss of
perfection or priority results from the limitations of foreign laws, rules and regulations as they apply to pledges of Equity Interests in Foreign Subsidiaries or the application thereof, or from the failure of the Applicable Agent to maintain
possession of certificates actually delivered to it representing securities pledged under the Collateral Agreement or to file UCC continuation statements, PPSA financing change statements or similar filings in other jurisdictions or take the actions

 167









 then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to any Borrower described in clause
(h) or (i) above), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, shall, by notice to Intermediate Holdings and the Borrowers, take any or all of the
following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate forthwith the Commitments, (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable in whole or in part, whereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be
due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Borrowers accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand,
protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding and (iii) if the Loans have been declared due and
payable pursuant to clause (ii) above, demand Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.05(j) and (iv) exercise all rights and remedies granted to it under any Loan Document and all its rights under any other applicable law or in equity;
and in any event with respect to any Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) above, the Commitments shall automatically terminate, the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued
Fees and all other liabilities of the Borrowers accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall automatically become due and payable and the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have made a demand for Cash Collateral to the full extent
permitted under Section 2.05(j), without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary
notwithstanding. 
 Section 7.02 Exclusion of Immaterial Subsidiaries. Solely for the purposes of determining
whether an Event of Default has occurred under clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01, any reference in any such clause to any Subsidiary shall be deemed not to include any Subsidiary (other than a Loan Party whose assets are included in
the calculation of any Borrowing Base) that would be an Immaterial Subsidiary under clause (a) of the definition thereof. 

Section 7.03 Right to Cure. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.01, in the event
that Intermediate Holdings fails (or, but for the operation of this Section 7.03, would fail) to comply with the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenant, until the expiration of the 10th Business Day subsequent to the date an
Availability Trigger Event occurs during any applicable quarter that causes Intermediate Holdings to fail to comply with the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenant, Intermediate Holdings shall have the right to issue Permitted Cure
Securities for cash or otherwise receive cash contributions to the capital of Intermediate Holdings (collectively, the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by Intermediate Holdings of such cash (the “Cure Amount”)
pursuant to the exercise by Intermediate Holdings of such Cure Right, such Financial Performance Covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustment: 

(i) EBITDA shall be increased with respect to such applicable quarter and any four-quarter period that contains such
quarter, solely for the purpose of measuring the Financial Performance Covenant and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount; and 

  
 168









 (ii) if, after giving effect to the foregoing pro forma adjustment,
Intermediate Holdings shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenant, Intermediate Holdings shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenant as of the relevant date of
determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of the Financial Performance Covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this
Agreement. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) in each four-fiscal-quarter period there shall be at
least one fiscal quarter in which the Cure Right is not exercised and (ii) for purposes of this Section 7.03, the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of complying with the Financial Performance Covenant.

 ARTICLE VIII 
 THE AGENTS 
 Section 8.01 Appointment. (a) Each Lender (in
its capacities as a Lender and the Swingline Lender (if applicable) and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements) and each Issuing Bank (in such capacity
and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements) hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender and Issuing Bank
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including as the Collateral Agent for such Lender and the other Secured Parties under the Security Documents and the intercreditor agreements, and each such Lender and Issuing Bank irrevocably
authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United
States of America, each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby grants to the Administrative Agent any required powers of attorney to execute any Security Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Lender’s or Issuing
Bank’s behalf, in any form, notarial or otherwise. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or
any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or Issuing Bank, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the
Administrative Agent. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other
Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or
because such Lender or Issuing Bank failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall
indemnify the Administrative Agent 

  
 169









 
fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses,
allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to
exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which such Agent is expressly entitled to take or assert under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the exercise of
remedies pursuant to Section 7.01, and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by the Lenders and Issuing Banks. 
 (b) In furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender and the Swingline Lender (if applicable) and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Secured
Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements) and each Issuing Bank (in such capacity and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements) hereby
appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and Issuing Bank for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the
Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent (and any Subagents appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 for purposes of holding
or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights or remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent) shall be entitled to the benefits of this
Article VIII (including, without limitation, Section 8.07) and Section 9.05 as though the Administrative Agent (and any such Subagents) were an “Agent” under the Loan Documents, as if set forth in full herein with respect
thereto. 
 Section 8.02 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact (to which it shall be entitled to grant power of attorney
for these purposes) and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent may also from time to time, when the Administrative Agent deems it to be necessary or desirable, appoint one or more trustees, co-trustees, collateral co-agents,
collateral subagents or attorneys-in-fact (each, a “Subagent”) with respect to all or any part of the Collateral; provided, that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any Collateral unless
and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Administrative Agent. Should any instrument in writing from any Borrower or any other Loan Party be required by any Subagent so appointed by the Administrative Agent to more fully or
certainly vest in and confirm to such Subagent such rights, powers, privileges and duties, such Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the
Administrative Agent. If any Subagent, or successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Subagent, to the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be
exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Subagent. The 

  
 170









 
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent, attorney-in-fact or Subagent that it selects in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this
Section 8.02 in the absence of the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction). 

Section 8.03 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent or its Affiliates nor any of their respective Related Parties shall be
(a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable
decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in
connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to
perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, (x) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (y) the Administrative Agent
shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Intermediate Holdings, any Borrower or any of its respective
Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 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 any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection
herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents,
(v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) 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. 
 Section 8.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. 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 (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or
conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it


  
 171









 
orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to
any Credit Event, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall
have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to such Credit Event. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to Intermediate Holdings or 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 deem and treat the payee of any Promissory Note as
the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any
action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be
indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting,
or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to
act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans. 
 Section 8.05 Notice
of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender, Intermediate Holdings or the
Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give
prompt notice thereof to the Lenders and Issuing Banks. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement,
all or other Lenders); provided, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to
such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. 
 Section 8.06
Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their Related Parties have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including
any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance
upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of
the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on
such 

  
 172









 
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates. Except for notices,
reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information
concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates. 
 Section 8.07 Indemnification. Each Lender agrees
to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Intermediate Holdings or the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of Intermediate Holdings or the Borrowers to do so), in
the amount of its pro rata share (based on its Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure and unused Commitments hereunder; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans owing to the Swingline Lender and of L/C Disbursements
owing to any Issuing Bank shall be considered to be owed to the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Tranche A Revolving Facility Exposure) (determined at the time such indemnity is sought), from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such
Agent or such Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
or any action taken or omitted by such Agent or such Issuing Bank under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s or such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct. The failure of any Lender to reimburse any Agent or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of
any other Lender to reimburse such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such other Lender’s ratable share of such amount. The agreements in this Section 8.07 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts
payable hereunder. 
 Section 8.08 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans
to, accept deposits from, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued, or Letter of Credit
or Swingline Loan participated in, by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and
“Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity. 

  
 173









 Section 8.09 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign
as Administrative Agent upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Lenders and Intermediate Holdings. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders
shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by
Intermediate Holdings (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean
such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former
Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is ten (10) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s
notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as
the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

Section 8.10 Documentation Agent and Arrangers. None of the Documentation Agents and the Joint Lead Arrangers shall have any
relationship of trust or agency with any Loan Party or any duties, responsibilities or obligations hereunder in its respective capacity as such. 
 Section 8.11 Certain Italian Matters. Each Secured Party hereby appoints the Administrative Agent, being JPMCB, to act as its mandatario con rappresentanza pursuant to articles 1703,
1704 and followings of the Italian Civil Code, also in the circumstances provided under articles 1394 and 1395 of the Italian Civil Code (a) for the purpose of executing in the name and on behalf of the Lender any Collateral Agreement which is
expressed to be governed by Italian law as well as of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral created thereunder; (b) with the power to negotiate, approve, comply with and perform the terms and conditions of such
Collateral Agreement in their name and on their behalf, execute any other agreement or instrument, give or receive any notice and take any other action in relation to the creation, perfection, maintenance, enforcement and release of the security
created thereunder in the name and on behalf of the Lenders. Each Secured Party undertakes to ratify and approve any such action taken in the name and on behalf of the Secured Parties by the Administrative Agent acting in its appointed capacity.
Each Assignee of a Lender or any other Secured Party shall be deemed to have confirmed and ratified the aforesaid constitution of the Administrative Agent as its mandatario con rappresentanza as under Italian law for the purposes indicated
above. 

  
 174









 Section 8.12 Certain German Matters. (a) The limitation as set forth in
Section 2.07(b) of the Guarantee Agreement shall be applicable to the obligations and rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document of any Foreign Loan Party incorporated in Germany as a GmbH or GmbH & Co. KG mutatis
mutandis.

for the benefit of the Secured Parties and (B) administer any Collateral granted pursuant to a German Collateral Document which is pledged (Verpfändung) or otherwise transferred to the Collateral Agent creating or evidencing an
accessory security right (akzessorische Sicherheit) as agent. 
 (ii) Each of the Secured Parties hereby
authorizes the Collateral Agent (whether or not by or through employees or agents) (A) to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to or conferred upon the Secured Parties under the German Collateral
Document together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto (B) to take such action on its behalf as may from time to time be authorized under or in accordance with the German Collateral Document; and (C) to
accept as its representative (Stellvertreter) any pledge or other creation of any accessory security right granted in favor of such Secured Party in connection with the German Collateral Document and to agree to and execute on its behalf as
its representative (Stellvertreter) any amendments and/or alterations to any German Collateral Document which creates a pledge or any other accessory security right (akzessorische Sicherheit) including the release or confirmation of
release of such security. 
 (iii) Each of the Secured Parties hereby releases the Collateral Agent from any
restrictions on representing several persons and self-dealing under any applicable law, and in particular from the restrictions of Section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch), to make use of any authorization
granted under this Agreement and to perform its duties and obligations as Collateral Agent hereunder and under the German Collateral Document. 
 (iv) Each of the Secured Parties hereby ratifies and approves all acts and declarations previously done by the Collateral Agent on such person’s behalf (including for the avoidance of doubt the
declarations made by the Collateral Agent as representative without power of attorney (Vertreter ohne Vertretungsmacht) in relation to the creation of any pledge (Pfandrecht) on behalf and for the benefit of the Secured Parties as
future pledgee or otherwise). 
 Section 8.13 Certain English Matters. (a) In this Agreement and any Security
Document governed by English law, any rights and remedies exercisable by, any documents to 

  
 175









 
be delivered to, or any other indemnities or obligations in favor of the Administrative Agent shall be, as the case may be, exercisable by, delivered to, or be indemnities or other obligations in
favor of, the Administrative Agent (or any other person acting in such capacity) in its capacity as security trustee of the Secured Parties to the extent that the rights, deliveries, indemnities or other obligations relate to any Security Document
governed by English law or the security thereby created. Any obligations of the Administrative Agent (or any other person acting in such capacity) in this Agreement and any Security Document governed by English law shall be obligations of the
Administrative Agent in its capacity as security trustee of the Secured Parties to the extent that the obligations relate to any Security Document governed by English law or the security thereby created. Additionally, in its capacity as security
trustee of the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent (or any other person acting in such capacity) shall have (i) all the rights, remedies and benefits in favor of the Administrative Agent contained in the provisions of the whole of this
Article VIII; (ii) all the powers of an absolute owner of the security constituted by any Security Document governed by English law and (iii) all the rights, remedies and powers granted to it and be subject to all the obligations and
duties owed by it under any Security Document governed by English law and/or any of the Loan Documents. 
 (b) Each Secured
Party (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements) hereby appoints the Collateral Agent to act as its trustee under and in relation to any Security Document
governed by English law and to hold the assets subject to the security thereby created as trustee for the Secured Parties on the trusts and other terms contained in any Security Document governed by English law and each Secured Party hereby
irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent in its capacity as security trustee of Secured Parties to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to the Collateral Agent as security trustee of the Secured
Parties by the terms of any Security Document governed by English law together with all such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto. 
 (c) Any reference in this Agreement to Liens stated to be in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be construed so as to include a reference to Liens granted in favor of the
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent in its capacity as security trustee of the Secured Parties. 
 (d) The Secured Parties
agree that at any time that the person acting as security trustee of the Secured Parties in respect of any Security Document governed by English law shall be a person other than the Administrative Agent, such other person shall have the rights,
remedies, benefits and powers granted to the Administrative Agent and (as the case may be) Collateral Agent in its capacity as security trustee of the Secured Parties under this Agreement and (as the case may be) any Security Document governed by
English law. 
 (e) Nothing shall require the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent in the capacity as security
trustee of the Secured Parties under this Agreement and any Security Document governed by English law to act as a trustee at common law or to be holding any property on trust, in any jurisdiction outside the United States of America or England and
Wales which may not operate under the principles of trust or where such trust would not be recognized or its effects would not be enforceable.

 Section 8.14 Certain French Matters. Each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender
and the Swingline Lender (if applicable) and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements) and each Issuing Bank (in such capacities and on behalf of itself and
its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements) hereby appoints the Collateral Agent to create, register and manage the Security Documents governed by French law pursuant to article
2328-1 of the French civil code. 
 Section 8.15 Security Documents and Collateral Agent Under Security Documents and
Guarantees. The Lenders and the Issuing Banks authorize the Administrative Agent to release any Collateral or Guarantors in accordance with Section 9.18. 
 The Lenders irrevocably agree that (a) the Collateral Agent may, without any further consent of any Lender, enter into or amend the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, any Second Lien Intercreditor
Agreement or any other intercreditor agreement with the collateral agent or other representatives of the holders of Indebtedness that is permitted to be secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is permitted under this Agreement, (b) the
Collateral Agent may rely exclusively on a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Intermediate Holdings as to whether any such other Liens are permitted and (c) the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any
other intercreditor agreement referred to in the foregoing clause (a), entered into by the Collateral Agent, shall be binding on the Secured Parties. Furthermore, the Lenders (including in their capacities as potential Cash Management Banks and
potential Hedge Banks) hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (i) to the
holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02 to be senior to the Liens of the Collateral Agent on such property or (ii) that is or becomes Excluded Property; and the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall
do so upon request of Intermediate Holdings; provided, that prior to any such request, Intermediate Holdings shall have in each case delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Intermediate Holdings
certifying that such Lien is permitted under this Agreement or that such property is Excluded Property, as applicable. 

Section 8.16 Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantees. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency,
liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, (i) the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Obligation shall then be due and
payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the applicable Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise
(A) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of any or all of the Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order
to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and any Subagents allowed in such judicial proceeding, and (B) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the
same, and (ii) any custodian, receiver, Assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the
Administrative Agent shall consent to the 

  
 177









 
making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative
Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf
of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

 Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the
Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (a) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guarantees, it being understood
and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may
be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent, and (b) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the
purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual
capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to
use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition. 
 Section 8.17 Parallel Debt. (a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.07 of the Guarantee Agreement, each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes
(and to the extent necessary undertakes in advance) to pay to the Collateral Agent amounts equal to any amounts owing from time to time by such Loan Party (taking into account the limitations set forth in Section 2.07 of the Guarantee
Agreement) to any Secured Party under this Agreement and any other Loan Document pursuant to any Obligations as and when those amounts are due under any Loan Document. 
 (b) The Collateral Agent shall have its own independent right to demand payment of the Parallel Debt by the Loan Party. Each Loan Party and the Collateral Agent acknowledge that the obligations of each
Loan Party under this Section 8.17 are several, separate and independent (selbständiges Schuldanerkenntnis) from, and shall not in any way limit or affect, the corresponding obligations of each Loan Party under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document (“Corresponding Debt”) nor shall the amounts for which each Loan Party is liable under paragraph (a) above (its “Parallel Debt”) be limited or affected in any way by its Corresponding Debt
provided that: 
 (i) the Parallel Debt of each Loan Party shall be decreased to the extent that its
Corresponding Debt has been irrevocably paid or discharged (other than, in each case, contingent obligations); 

  
 178









 (ii) the Corresponding Debt of a Loan Party shall be decreased to the extent
that its Parallel Debt has been irrevocably paid or discharged; 
 (iii) the amount of the Parallel Debt of a
Loan Party shall at all times be equal to the amount of its Corresponding Debt; and 
 (iv) for the avoidance of
doubt, the Parallel Debt of a Loan Party will become due and payable at the same time when its Corresponding Debt becomes due and payable. 
 (c) For the purpose of this Section 8.17, the Collateral Agent acts in its own name and not as a trustee, and its claims in respect of the Parallel Debt shall not be held on trust. The Lien granted
under any German Collateral Document with respect to the Parallel Debt is granted to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as creditor of the Parallel Debt and shall not be held on trust. 

(d) Without limiting or affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights against any Loan Party (whether under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document), each of the Loan Party acknowledges that: 
 (i) nothing in this Agreement shall impose any
obligation on the Collateral Agent to advance any sum to any Loan Party or otherwise under any Loan Document except in its capacity as a Lender; and 
 (ii) for the purpose of any vote taken under any Loan Document, the Collateral Agent shall not be regarded as having any participation or commitment other than those which it has in its capacity as a
Lender. 
 (e) The Parties to this Agreement acknowledge and confirm that the provisions contained in this Agreement shall not be
interpreted so as to increase the maximum total amount of the Obligations. 
 (f) The Parallel Debt shall remain effective in
case a third person should assume or be entitled, partially or in whole, to any rights of any of the Secured Parties under any of the other Loan Documents, be it by virtue of assignment, novation or otherwise. 

(g) All monies received or recovered by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and all amounts received or recovered by the
Collateral Agent from or by the enforcement of any security granted to secure the Parallel Debt shall be applied in accordance with the applicable Security Document. 
 Section 8.18 Certain Canadian Matters. For greater certainty, and without limiting the powers of the Administrative Agent or any other person acting as an agent, attorney-in-fact or mandatory
for the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, and for the purposes of holding any security granted by a Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure payment
of any bond issued by a Borrower or any Loan Party, each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the person holding the power of attorney (i.e. 

  
 179









 
“fondé de pouvoir”) (in such capacity, the “Attorney”) of the Lenders as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec, and to enter into, to
take and to hold on its behalf, and for its benefit, any hypothec, and to exercise such powers and duties that are conferred upon the Attorney under any hypothec. Moreover, without prejudice to such appointment and authorization to act as the person
holding the power of attorney as aforesaid, each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Custodian”) to act as agent and custodian for and on behalf of the Lenders to hold and be
the sole registered holder of any bond which may be issued under any hypothec, the whole notwithstanding Section 32 of An Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Quebec) or any other applicable law, and to execute all related
documents. Each of the Attorney and the Custodian shall: (a) have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise, except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof, all rights and remedies given to the Attorney and
the Custodian (as applicable) pursuant to any hypothec, bond, pledge, applicable laws or otherwise, (b) benefit from and be subject to all provisions hereof with respect to the Administrative Agent mutatis mutandis, including, without
limitation, all such provisions with respect to the liability or responsibility to and indemnification by the Lenders, and (c) be entitled to delegate from time to time any of its powers or duties under any hypothec, bond, or pledge on such
terms and conditions as it may determine from time to time. Any person who becomes a Lender shall, by its execution of an Assignment and Assumption, be deemed to have consented to and confirmed: (i) the Attorney as the person holding the power
of attorney as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Lender, all actions taken by the Attorney in such capacity, and (ii) the Custodian as the agent and custodian as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it
becomes a Lender, all actions taken by the Custodian in such capacity. The Substitution of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Article 8 shall also constitute the substitution of the Attorney and the Custodian.

Section 9.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void), and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations
hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.04 or Article X. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted
hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 9.04), and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of
each of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 
 (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in subclause (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”), other than a natural person, all or a

and/or any other Commitments and Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: 
 (A) Intermediate Holdings; provided, that no consent of Intermediate Holdings shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if
an Event of Default under Sections 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, any other person; provided, further, that Intermediate Holdings shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless
Intermediate Holdings shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and 

(B) the Administrative Agent (except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved
Fund); and 

  
 182









 (C) the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank (except in the case of an
assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund). 
 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to
the following additional conditions: 
 (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a
Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Class, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment
(determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5.0 million unless Intermediate Holdings and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent;
provided, that no such consent of Intermediate Holdings shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that such amounts shall be
aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds (with simultaneous assignments to or by two or more related Approved Funds shall be treated as one assignment), if any; 

(B) the parties to each assignment shall (x) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and
Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (y) if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, in each case
together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); 
 (C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.17; and

 (D) a Lender may assign to any Assignee a single Class of Commitments without assigning any other Classes of
Commitments. 
 For the purposes of this Section 9.04, “Approved Fund” means any person (other than a
natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (x) a Lender, (y) an Affiliate of a Lender or
(z) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Lender shall be permitted to assign or transfer any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
or sell any participation to any Borrower or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries, any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender. 

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to subclause (v) below, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the 

  
 183









 
interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender
shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.05 (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections)). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) of this
Section 9.04. 
 (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the
Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and
Revolving L/C Exposure owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, 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 Intermediate Holdings, the Borrowers, the Issuing Banks and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance 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 clause (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment
required by clause (b) of this Section and any applicable tax forms, the Administrative Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment, whether or not
evidenced by a Promissory Note, shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this subclause (v). 
 (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of Intermediate Holdings, any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other
entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Tranche A Revolving Facility Commitments, Tranche A Revolving Facility Loans,
Tranche B Revolving Facility Commitments, Tranche B Revolving Facility Loans and/or any other Commitments and Loans at the time owing to it); provided, that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) Intermediate Holdings, 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 pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall


  
 184









 
provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and any other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement
and any other Loan Documents; provided, that (x) such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (i) requires the consent of each
Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to Section 9.04(a)(i) or subclauses (i), through (ix) of the first proviso to Section 9.08(b) and (ii) directly affects such Participant (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not any
waiver of any Default or Event of Default) and (y) no other agreement with respect to amendment, modification or waiver may exist between such Lender and such Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at any Borrower’s
request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.19(b) or (c) with respect to any Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Sections 2.17(f) and (g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Sections 2.17(f)
and (g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees
to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.15 and 2.17 as if it were an Assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04 and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.15 or 2.17, with
respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender,
provided, that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the U.S. Borrower, maintain a
register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant
Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s
interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in
registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the
Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as
Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 (d) Any Lender may, without the
consent of the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, 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 pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

  
 185









 (e) Each Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue
Promissory Notes to any Lender requiring Promissory Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in clause (d) above. 
 (f) If the Borrowers wish to replace the Loans or Commitments of any Class with ones having different terms, it shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to at least
three (3) Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders of such Class, instead of prepaying the Loans or reducing or terminating the Commitments to be replaced, to (i) require the Lenders of such Class, to assign such Loans or
Commitments to the Administrative Agent or its designees and (ii) amend the terms thereof in accordance with Section 9.08 (with such replacement, if applicable, being deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 9.04(b)(ii)). Pursuant
to any such assignment, all Loans and Commitments to be replaced shall be purchased at par (allocated among the Lenders of such Class, in the same manner as would be required if such Loans were being optionally prepaid or such Commitments were being
optionally reduced or terminated by the Borrowers), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any other amounts owing pursuant to this Agreement. By receiving such purchase price, the Lenders of such Class, shall
automatically be deemed to have assigned the Loans or Commitments of such Class, pursuant to the terms of the form of Assignment and Acceptance attached hereto as Exhibit A, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be
required in connection therewith. The provisions of this clause (h) are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement. 

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assignment may be made and, to the extent the list of such Ineligible Institution has been made
available to all Lenders, no participation sold to an Ineligible Institution without the prior written consent of Intermediate Holdings. 
 (h) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set
forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the Assignee of
participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Revolving Facility Percentage of Loans previously requested but not
funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable Assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, any
Lender or any Issuing Bank hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full the Revolving Facility Percentage of all Loans; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any
assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the Assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting
Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. 
 Section 9.05 Expenses; Indemnity.
(a) Each Borrower agrees to pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by the

to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (for purposes of this proviso only, (x) “Indemnitee” shall not include any agents or advisors
and (y) each of the Administrative Agent, any Documentation Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger, any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Lender shall be treated as several and separate Indemnitees, but each of them together with its respective
Related Parties, shall be treated as a single Indemnitee). Subject to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel or consultant fees, charges and disbursements (limited to not more than one counsel, plus, if necessary, one local counsel per jurisdiction) (except the

jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties. None of the Indemnitees (or any of their respective affiliates) shall be responsible
or liable to Intermediate Holdings, any Borrower or any of their respective subsidiaries, Affiliates or stockholders or any other person or entity for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, which may be alleged as a result of the
facilities hereunder or the Transactions. The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the
invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Lender. All amounts due under
this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested. 

(c) Except as expressly provided in Section 9.05(a) with respect to Other Taxes, which shall not be duplicative with any
amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.17, this Section 9.05 shall not apply to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages from any non-Tax claim. 
 (d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings and the Borrowers shall not assert, and hereby waive, 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, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials

 188









 (e) The agreements in this Section 9.05 shall survive the resignation of the
Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 

Section 9.06 Right of Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Bank
and each of their respective Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time
held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Holdings (prior to a Qualified IPO), Intermediate Holdings or any Subsidiary against any of and all the
Obligations of Holdings (prior to a Qualified IPO), Intermediate Holdings or any Subsidiary now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Affiliates, irrespective of whether
or not such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although the Obligations may be unmatured; provided, that no amounts set off with respect to any Guarantor
shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor; provided, further, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to
the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.21 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such
right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each of their respective Affiliates under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender or such Issuing Bank
may have. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender, Issuing Bank or its respective Affiliate shall exercise set-off rights with respect to the Canadian Borrower’s or any German Borrower’s assets and apply such proceeds to the Obligations
of the U.S. Borrower hereunder. 
 Section 9.07 Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER
THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO SUCH LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 Section 9.08 Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or
any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a
right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by Intermediate


  
 189









 
Holdings, any Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on Intermediate Holdings, any Borrower or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle such person to any other or further notice or demand in similar
or other circumstances. 
 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be
waived, amended or modified except (x) as provided in Section 2.20 or Section 8.15, (y) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings (prior to a Qualified IPO),
Intermediate Holdings, the Borrowers and the Required Lenders, and (z) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each Loan Party thereto and the Administrative Agent and consented
to by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall: 
 (i) decrease or
forgive the principal amount of, or extend the final maturity of, or decrease the rate of interest on, any Loan or any L/C Disbursement, or extend the stated expiration of any Letter of Credit beyond the applicable Maturity Date (for the avoidance
of doubt, it being understood that any such extension of any Letter of Credit beyond the applicable Maturity Date would affect all Tranche A Lenders), except as provided in Section 2.05(c), without the prior written consent of each Lender
directly adversely affected thereby (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of such Lender directly adversely affected thereby shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification); provided, that any amendment
or modifications to the definitions of the terms “Borrowing Base,” “Excess Availability”, any component definition thereof and the related definitions and the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a
reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (i); 
 (ii) increase or extend the Commitment of
any Lender or decrease the Commitment Fees, L/C Participation Fees or any other fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of such Lender directly adversely affected
thereby shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification); provided, that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the aggregate
Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the Commitments of any Lender; 
 (iii) extend any date on which
payment of interest on any Loan or any L/C Disbursement or any Fees is due, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of such Lender directly adversely
affected thereby shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification); 
 (iv) amend the
provisions of Section 2.11(d) or 2.18(b) of this Agreement, Section 4.02 of the U.S. Collateral Agreement or any comparable provision of any other Security Document in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of
payments required thereby, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby; 

  
 190









 (v) amend or modify the provisions of this Section 9.08 or the
definition of “Required Lenders”, “Required Tranche A Lenders”, “Special Majority Lenders”, “Super Majority Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to
waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby (it being understood that, (A) with the consent of the Required
Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders, the Special Majority Lenders and the Super Majority Lenders and (B) with the consent of the Required Tranche A
Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Tranche A Lenders, each on substantially the same basis as the Loans and Commitments are included on the Closing Date);

 (vi) release all or substantially all the Collateral or release any of Intermediate Holdings, any Borrower or
all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Loan Parties from their respective Guarantees under the Collateral Agreement unless, in each case, sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by this Agreement, without the prior written
consent of each Lender; 
 (vii) amend or modify the definition of the term “Borrowing Base” or any
component definition thereof if as a result thereof the amounts available to be borrowed by any Borrower would be increased, without the prior written consent of the Super Majority Lenders (provided, that the foregoing shall not limit the
discretion of the Administrative Agent to change, establish or eliminate any Reserves without the prior written consent of any Lenders, but to the extent the amount to be borrowed or credit to be made would increase as a result of any such change or
elimination, the Administrative Agent shall not exercise its discretion to change or eliminate any Reserves that existed on the Closing Date without the consent of the Super Majority Lenders),; 

(viii) increase the percentage advance rates set forth in the definition of the term “Borrowing Base” or any
component definition thereof if as a result thereof the amounts available to be borrowed by any Borrower would be increased without the prior written consent of the Special Majority Lenders; or 

(ix) modify or amend any provisions with respect to Overadvances, Protected Advances, Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit
without the prior written consent of the Required Tranche A Lenders; 
 provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend,
modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank acting as such at the effective date of such agreement, as
applicable. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section 9.08 and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section 9.08 shall bind any Assignee of such Lender. 

  
 191









 (c) Without the consent of any Lender or any Issuing Bank, the Loan Parties and the
Administrative Agent may (in their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the
granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any
security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law or this Agreement or in each case to otherwise enhance the rights or benefits of any Secured Party under
any Loan Document. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the
written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent, Holdings (prior to a Qualified IPO), Intermediate Holdings and the Borrowers (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions
of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect
thereof (provided that such credit facilities shall not rank senior in right of payment or of security with the existing facilities hereunder unless otherwise agreed by each Lender directly adversely affected thereby) and (b) to include
appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders, Required Tranche A Lenders, Special Majority Lenders and Super Majority Lenders. 

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, technical and conforming modifications to the Loan Documents may be made with the consent of Holdings
(prior to a Qualified IPO), Intermediate Holdings, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to the extent necessary (A) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency or (B) to integrate any Incremental Commitments in a manner
consistent with Section 2.20, including, with respect to Other Revolving Facility Loans as may be necessary to establish such Other Revolving Facility Loans as a separate Class from the existing Loans or Commitments. The Administrative Agent,
Holdings (prior to a Qualified IPO), Intermediate Holdings and the Borrowers shall modify the Loan Documents to include the commitments to make such Other Revolving Facility Loans in the definition of Required Lenders. Required Tranche A Lenders,
Special Majority Lenders and Super Majority Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Loans are included on the Closing Date. 
 (f) With respect to the incurrence of any secured or unsecured Indebtedness (including any intercreditor agreement relating thereto), Intermediate Holdings may elect (in its discretion, but shall not be
obligated) to deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer at least three (3) Business Days prior to the incurrence thereof (or such shorter time as the Administrative Agent may agree), together with either drafts
of the material documentation relating to such Indebtedness or a description of such Indebtedness (including a description of the Liens intended to secure the same or the subordination provisions thereof, as applicable) in reasonably sufficient
detail to be able to make the determinations referred to in this paragraph, which certificate shall either, at Intermediate Holdings’ election, (i) state that Intermediate Holdings has determined in good faith that such Indebtedness
satisfies the requirements of the applicable provisions of Section 6.01 and 6.02 (taking into account any other 

  
 192









 
applicable provisions of this Section 9.08), in which case such certificate shall be conclusive evidence thereof, or (ii) request the Administrative Agent to confirm, based on the
information set forth in such certificate and any other information reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, that such Indebtedness satisfies such requirements, in which case the Administrative Agent may determine whether, in its Reasonable
Credit Judgment, such requirements have been satisfied (in which case it shall deliver to Intermediate Holdings a written confirmation of the same), with any such determination of the Administrative Agent to be conclusive evidence thereof, and the
Secured Parties hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to make such determinations. 
 Section 9.09 Interest Rate
Limitation. (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, subject to clause (b) below in respect of any Loan to a Canadian Loan Party, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges that are
treated as interest under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender or any
Issuing Bank, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable hereunder, together
with all Charges payable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate; provided, that such excess amount shall be paid to such Lender or such Issuing Bank on subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal
limitation.If any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents would obligate any Loan Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to the Lenders in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited
by law or would result in a receipt by the Lenders of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provisions, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with
retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by the Lenders of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary,
as follows: (1) firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the Lenders under Section 2.13, and (2) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the
Lenders which would constitute “interest” for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if the Lenders shall have received an
amount in excess of the maximum permitted by Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada), the Loan Parties shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent, to obtain reimbursement from the Lenders in an amount equal to such
excess and, pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by the Lenders to the Borrower. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in Section 2.13 shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted
actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that the applicable Loan remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as
defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the Effective Date to the Termination Date and, in the event of a
dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.

 Section 9.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the
agreements regarding certain Fees referred to herein constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among or representations from the parties or their Affiliates with respect to the
subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent Fee Letter shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect.
Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents. 
 Section 9.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO
(a) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (b) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11. 

Section 9.12 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan
Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall
endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 

Section 9.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an
original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile transmission (or other electronic
transmission pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original. 
 Section 9.14 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect
the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

 Section 9.15 Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. Subject to clause
(e) of the following sentence, all judicial proceedings brought against any party arising out of or relating hereto or any other Loan Documents, or any of the Obligations, shall be brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction
in the State, County and City of New York. By executing and delivering this Agreement, each Loan Party, for itself and in connection with its properties, irrevocably (a) accepts generally and unconditionally the exclusive jurisdiction and
venue of such courts (other than with respect to actions by any Agent in respect of rights under any Security Document governed by laws other than the laws of the State of New York or with respect to any Collateral subject thereto);
(b) waives any defense of forum non conveniens; (c) agrees that service of all process in any such proceeding in any such court may be made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the applicable Loan Parties at its

personal jurisdiction over the applicable Loan Party in any such proceeding in any such court, and otherwise constitutes effective and binding service in every aspect and (e) agrees that Agents and Lenders retain the right to serve process in
any other manner permitted by law or to bring proceedings against any Loan Party in the courts of any other jurisdiction in connection with the exercise of any rights under any Security Documents or the enforcement of any judgment. 

Section 9.16 Confidentiality. Each of the Lenders, each Issuing Bank and each of the Agents agrees that it shall maintain in
confidence any information relating to Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, any Borrower and any Subsidiary furnished to it by or on behalf of Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, any Borrower or any Subsidiary (other than information that (a) has
become generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such party, (b) has been independently developed by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Agent without violating this Section 9.16 or (c) was
available to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Agent from a third party having, to such person’s knowledge, no obligations of confidentiality to Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, any Borrower or any other Loan Party) and shall not reveal
the same other than to its directors, trustees, officers, employees and advisors with a need to know or to any person that approves or administers the Loans on behalf of such Lender, Issuing Bank or Agent (so long as each such person shall have been
instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16), except: (i) to the extent necessary to comply with law or any legal process or the requirements of any Governmental Authority, the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners or of any securities exchange on which securities of the disclosing party or any Affiliate of the disclosing party are listed or traded, (ii) as part of normal reporting or review procedures to, or examinations by,

similar electronic system (the “Platform”), and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Holdings, Intermediate
Holdings, the Borrowers or their respective securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). Intermediate Holdings hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may not

such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with Section 9.08), (v) to the extent that the property constituting such
Collateral is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee in accordance with the Collateral Agreement and clause (b) below, (vi) as provided in Section 8.15, (vii) as
contemplated by any intercreditor agreement, (viii) to the extent any asset or property constitutes Excluded Property and (ix) as required by the Collateral Agent to effect any sale or disposition of Collateral in connection with any
exercise of remedies of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those being released) upon (or Obligations (other than
those being released) of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale or disposition, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral except to the extent otherwise
released in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents. 
 (b) In addition, (i) the Agents, Lenders and the
Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably agree that the Subsidiary Loan Parties shall be released from the Guarantees and the Security Documents upon consummation of any transaction not prohibited hereunder resulting in such Subsidiary Loan Party ceasing to
constitute a Subsidiary Loan Party or otherwise a Subsidiary (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Responsible Officer of Intermediate Holdings upon its reasonable request without
further inquiry) and (ii) immediately prior to the consummation of a Qualified IPO of Holdings and/or upon the release of Holdings’ Guarantee of the Cash Flow Credit Agreement (the date of the earlier of such event, the “Holdings
Date”), the Guarantee incurred by Holdings of the Obligations shall automatically terminate and Holdings shall be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, shall cease to be a Loan Party and any Liens created by any Loan
Documents on any assets or Equity Interests owned by Holdings shall automatically be released. 

  
 197









 (c) The Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent, as applicable, to execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Guarantor or Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section 9.18, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender or Issuing Bank. Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Collateral or Guarantor shall no longer be deemed to be made.
In connection with any release hereunder, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to) take such action and execute any
such documents as may be reasonably requested by Intermediate Holdings or any Borrower and such Loan Party’s expense in connection with the release of any Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such Subsidiary, property or asset.

 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, upon the Termination Date, upon
request of Intermediate Holdings or any Borrower, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Secured Party) take such actions as shall be required to release its security
interest in all Collateral, and to release all Obligations under any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be any (i) obligations in respect of any Secured Hedge Agreements or any Secured Cash Management Agreements
and (ii) any contingent indemnification Obligations or expense reimburse claims not then due. Any such release of Obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such Obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion
of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as
a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

 (e) Obligations of Intermediate Holdings and its Subsidiaries under any Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Hedge
Agreement (after giving effect to all netting arrangements relating to such Secured Hedge Agreements) shall be secured and guaranteed pursuant to the Security Documents only to the extent that, and for so long as, the other Obligations are so
secured and guaranteed. No person shall have any voting rights under any Loan Document solely as a result of the existence of obligations owed to it under any such Secured Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement. For the avoidance of
doubt, no release of Collateral or Guarantors effected in the manner permitted by this Agreement shall require the consent of any holder of obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements or any Secured Cash Management Agreements. 

Section 9.19 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due
hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other
currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Loan Party in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents
shall, notwithstanding any 

  
 198









 
judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the
“Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance
with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from any Loan Party in the Agreement
Currency, such Loan Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so
purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Loan Party (or to any other person who may be entitled thereto under applicable
law). 
 Section 9.20 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act and the
Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which
information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. 

Section 9.21 Power of Attorney. Each Lender (including the Swingline Lender) and each Issuing Bank, including pursuant to
Article 1394, 1395, 1703 and 1704 of the Italian Civil Code, hereby (i) authorizes the Administrative Agent as its agent and attorney to execute and deliver, on behalf of and in the name of such Lender or Issuing Bank, all and any Loan
Documents (excluding this Agreement, but including any Security Document and related documentation), (ii) authorizes the Administrative Agent to appoint any further agents or attorneys to execute and deliver, or otherwise to act, on behalf of
and in the name of the Administrative Agent for any such purpose and (iii) authorizes the Administrative Agent to delegate its powers under this power of attorney and to do any and all acts and to make and receive all declarations that are
deemed necessary or appropriate to the Administrative Agent. The Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby relieve the Administrative Agent from the self-dealing restrictions imposed by Section 181 of the German Civil Code and the Administrative
Agent may also relieve agents, delegates and attorneys appointed pursuant to the powers granted under this Section 9.22 from the self-dealing restrictions imposed by Section 181 of the German Civil Code. 

Section 9.22 Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation. 

(a) Intermediate Holdings acknowledges that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act and other applicable anti-money laundering,
anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client” laws in each relevant jurisdiction (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Lenders may be required to
obtain, verify and record information regarding Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the Borrowers, their respective Related Parties, any Parent Entity, the Transactions and any other transactions contemplated hereby. Intermediate Holdings shall
promptly provide all such information, 

  
 199









 
including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether
now or hereafter in existence. 
 (b) If the Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of any Borrower or any authorized
signatories of the Borrower for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Administrative Agent: 
 (i)
shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Lender and the Administrative Agent within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation;
and 
 (ii) shall provide to each Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any
representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may
otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Lenders agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Agent has any obligation to ascertain the identity of the Borrowers or any authorized signatories of the Borrowers on behalf of any
Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any Borrower or any such authorized signatory in doing so. 
 Section 9.23 Acknowledgments. Each of Holdings, Intermediate Holdings and the Borrowers hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the
Loan Parties and the Lenders is intended to be or has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, irrespective of whether any Lender has advised or is advising any Loan Party on
other matters, and the relationship between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith and therewith is solely that of creditor and debtor, (b) the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan
Parties, on the other hand, have an arm’s length business relationship that does not directly or indirectly give rise to, nor do the Loan Parties rely on, any fiduciary duty to the Loan Parties or their Affiliates on the part of the Lenders,
(c) the Loan Parties are capable of evaluating and understanding, and the Loan Parties understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (d) the Loan
Parties have been advised that the Lenders are engaged in a broad range of transactions that may involve interests that differ from the Loan Parties’ interests and that the Lenders have no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions
to the Loan Parties, (e) the Loan Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent the Loan Parties have deemed appropriate in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, (f) each Lender has been, is, and will be acting solely as a principal and, except as otherwise expressly agreed in writing by it and the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or
fiduciary for the Loan Parties, any of their Affiliates or any other person, (g) no Lender has any obligation to the Loan Parties or their Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
except those obligations expressly set forth herein or therein or in any other express writing executed and delivered by such Lender and the Loan Parties or any such Affiliate and (h) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan
Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Loan Parties and the Lenders.

 ARTICLE X 

COLLECTION ALLOCATION MECHANISM 
 Section 10.01 Implementation of CAM. (a) On the CAM Exchange Date, (i) each Lender shall immediately be deemed to have acquired (and shall promptly make payment therefor to the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.04(c)) participations in the Swingline Loans in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of each such Swingline Loan outstanding on such date, (ii) simultaneously
with the automatic conversions pursuant to clause (iii) below, each Lender shall automatically and without further act (and without regard to the provisions of Section 9.04 (but which such provisions shall remain applicable following such
exchange)) be deemed to have exchanged interests in the Loans (other than the Swingline Loans) and participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit, such that in lieu of the interest of each Lender in each Loan and Letter of Credit in which
it shall participate as of such date (including such Lender’s interest in the Obligations of each Loan Party in respect of each such Loan and Letter of Credit), such Lender shall hold an interest in every one of the Loans (other than the
Swingline Loans) and a participation in every one of the Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit (including the Obligations of each Loan Party in respect of each such Loan and each Reserve Account established pursuant to Section 10.02), whether
or not such Lender shall previously have participated therein, equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage thereof and (iii) simultaneously with the deemed exchange of interests pursuant to clause (ii) above, the interests in the Loans to
be received in such deemed exchange shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the U.S. Dollar Equivalent, determined using the applicable Spot Rates calculated as of such date, of such amount and on and after
such date all amounts accruing and owed to the Lenders in respect of such Obligations shall accrue and be payable in U.S. Dollars at the rate otherwise applicable hereunder. It is understood and agreed that the CAM Exchange, in itself, will not
affect the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing by each of (1) the Domestic Loan Parties and (2) the Foreign Loan Parties, on the CAM Exchange Date. Each Lender and each Loan Party hereby consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange, and
each Lender agrees that the CAM Exchange shall be binding upon its successors and assigns and any person that acquires a participation in its interests in any Loan or any participation in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit. Each Loan Party
agrees from time to time to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent all such promissory notes and other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to evidence and confirm the respective interests of the
Lenders after giving effect to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees to surrender any promissory notes originally received by it in connection with its Loans hereunder to the Administrative Agent against delivery of any promissory notes
evidencing its interests in the Loans so executed and delivered; provided, however, that the failure of any Loan Party to execute or deliver or of any Lender to accept any such promissory note, instrument or document shall not affect
the validity or effectiveness of the CAM Exchange. 
 (b) As a result of the CAM Exchange, upon and after the CAM Exchange Date,
each payment received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document in 

  
 201









 
respect of the Obligations and each distribution made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Security Document in respect of the Obligations, shall be distributed to the Lenders pro
rata in accordance with their respective CAM Percentages. Any direct payment received by a Lender on or after the CAM Exchange Date, including by way of set-off, in respect of an Obligation shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent for
distribution to the Lenders in accordance herewith. 
 Section 10.02 Letters of Credit. (a) In the event that
on the CAM Exchange Date any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and undrawn in whole or in part, or any L/C Disbursement shall not have been reimbursed by the applicable Borrower or with the proceeds of a Borrowing, each Lender shall promptly pay
over to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, an amount in U.S. Dollars equal to such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such undrawn face amount or (to the extent it has not already done so) such unreimbursed
drawing, as applicable, together with interest thereon from the CAM Exchange Date to the date on which such amount shall be paid to the Administrative Agent at the rate that would be applicable at the time to an ABR Revolving Loan in a principal
amount equal to such undrawn face amount or unreimbursed drawing, as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall establish a separate account (each, a “Reserve Account”) or accounts for each Lender for the amounts received with
respect to each such Letter of Credit pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Administrative Agent shall deposit in each Lender’s Reserve Account such Lender’s CAM Percentage of the amounts received from the Lenders as provided above. For
the purposes of this paragraph, the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of each Lender’s participation in each Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be the amount in U.S. Dollars determined by the Administrative Agent to be required
in order for the Administrative Agent to purchase currency in the applicable Foreign Currency in an amount sufficient to enable it to deposit the actual amount of such participation in such undrawn Letter of Credit in the applicable Foreign Currency
in such Lender’s Reserve Account. The Administrative Agent shall have sole dominion and control over each Reserve Account, and the amounts deposited in each Reserve Account shall be held in such Reserve Account until withdrawn as provided in
paragraph (b), (c), (d) or (e) below. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records enabling it to determine the amounts paid over to it and deposited in the Reserve Accounts in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amounts on deposit
in respect of each Letter of Credit attributable to each Lender’s CAM Percentage. The amounts held in each Lender’s Reserve Account shall be held as a reserve against the Revolving L/C Exposure, shall be the property of such Lender, shall
not constitute Loans to or give rise to any claim of or against any Loan Party and shall not give rise to any obligation on the part of any Loan Party to pay interest to such Lender or any other obligation of any Loan Party, it being agreed that the
reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit shall arise only at such times as drawings are made thereunder, as provided in Section 2.05. 
 (b) In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any drawing shall be made in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the applicable Issuing Bank, to the extent
such drawing constitutes a L/C Disbursement, withdraw from the Reserve Account of each Lender any amounts, up to the amount of such Lender’s CAM Percentage of such drawing or payment, deposited in respect of such Letter of Credit and remaining
on deposit and deliver such amounts to such Issuing Bank in satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Lenders under such Class under Section 2.05(d) (but not of the applicable Borrower under Section 2.05(e)). In the event
that any Lender shall default on its 

  
 202









 
obligation to pay over any amount to the Administrative Agent as provided in this Section 10.02, the applicable Issuing Bank shall have a claim against such Lender to the same extent as if
such Lender had defaulted on its obligations under Section 2.05(d), but shall have no claim against any other Lender in respect of such defaulted amount, notwithstanding the exchange of interests in the applicable Borrower’s reimbursement
obligations pursuant to Section 10.01. Each other Lender shall have a claim against such defaulting Lender for any damages sustained by it as a result of such default, including, in the event that such Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, its
CAM Percentage of the defaulted amount. 
 (c) In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any Letter of Credit shall expire
undrawn, the Administrative Agent shall withdraw from the Reserve Account of each Lender the amount remaining on deposit therein in respect of such Letter of Credit and distribute such amount to such Lender. 

(d) With the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld), any Lender may withdraw the amount
held in its Reserve Account in respect of the undrawn amount of any Letter of Credit. Any Lender making such a withdrawal shall be unconditionally obligated, in the event there shall subsequently be a drawing under such Letter of Credit, to pay over
to the Administrative Agent, in the currency in which such drawing is denominated, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, on demand, its CAM Percentage of such drawing or payment. 

(e) Pending the withdrawal by any Lender of any amounts from its Reserve Account as contemplated by the above paragraphs, the
Administrative Agent will, at the direction of such Lender and subject to such rules as the Administrative Agent may prescribe for the avoidance of inconvenience, invest such amounts in Permitted Investments. Each Lender that has not withdrawn its
amounts in its Reserve Account as provided in paragraph (d) above shall have the right, at intervals reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent, to withdraw the earnings on investments so made by the Administrative Agent with amounts in
its Reserve Account and to retain such earnings for its own account.

 5. On the Closing Date, none of Intermediate Holdings or any Borrower
intends to, or believes that it or any Subsidiary will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by it or any such Subsidiary and the timing and amounts of

 EXHIBIT D 
 FORM OF 
 COLLATERAL ACCESS AGREEMENT 

This Collateral Access Agreement (this “Access Agreement”) is entered into as of
[            ] [        ], 201[    ] between
[                    ] (the “Landlord”) and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as administrative agent (the
“Agent”) for the lenders (collectively referred to herein as the “Lenders”) from time to time party to the Credit Agreement described below. 
 Reference is made to that certain Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of April [         ], 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Momentive Performance Materials Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation, Momentive Performance Materials Inc., a Delaware corporation, Momentive Performance
Materials USA Inc., a Delaware corporation, Momentive Performance Materials GmbH, a company organized under the laws of Germany, Momentive Performance Materials Quartz GmbH, a company organized under the laws of Germany, Momentive Performance
Materials Nova Scotia ULC, a company organized under the laws of the Province of Nova Scotia, Canada, the Lenders party thereto from time to time, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent, and the other parties named therein. 

Landlord is the owner of the real property commonly known as [Insert Street Address, City, [State], Country, [Zip Code]] (the
“Premises”). 
 Landlord has entered into that certain lease agreement (together with any renewals, extensions,
amendments, modifications, substitutions or replacements thereof, the “Lease”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, with
[                    ] (the “Company”), with respect to the Premises.1 

The Company and certain of its affiliates have entered into the Credit Agreement and certain other documents, agreements and instruments
executed in connection therewith (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Documents”) evidencing a financing arrangement with the Agent and the Lenders. The Company has
also agreed to secure its obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents (the “Obligations”) by granting a security interest, hypothec and lien to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, in certain assets of
the Company, as more fully described in the Loan Documents (the “Collateral”). 
 In connection with the Loan
Documents, the Lenders have required that the Company obtain this Access Agreement from the Landlord in connection with its lease of the Premises, and the Landlord hereby agrees and covenants with the Agent as follows: 

1. The Landlord acknowledges that the Lease is in full force and effect and is not aware of any existing default under the Lease.

  

	1 	NTD: relationships between the Company and the Landlord in certain of the European Premises are governed instead by tolling agreements or storage agreements. The
language in the Access Agreements for those sites should be amended accordingly to reflect the description/name of the underlying documentation throughout. 








 2. The Landlord acknowledges the validity of the Agent’s security interest on the
Collateral and waives [and releases] any interest in the Collateral and agrees not to levy or distrain upon any Collateral or to claim or assert any lien, security interest, right or other claim against[, or retain control over,] any Collateral for
any reason.2 

3. The Landlord agrees to give notice to the Agent of the occurrence of any default by the Company under the Lease resulting in
termination of the Lease (a “Default Notice”) and agrees to permit the Agent to cure any such default within 30 days of the Agent’s receipt of such Default Notice, but neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be under any
obligation to cure any default by the Company under the Lease. No action by the Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Access Agreement shall be deemed to be an assumption by the Agent or the Lenders of any obligation under the Lease, and except as
expressly provided in paragraphs 6, 7 and 8 below, the Agent shall not have any obligation to the Landlord. 
 4. The Landlord
agrees that the Collateral is and shall remain personal property of the Company [at all times] regardless of [the provisions of the Lease and] the manner or mode of attachment of any item of Collateral to the Premises and shall not be deemed to be
fixtures. [The Landlord confirms that [the Collateral owned by the Company is not commingled with, and is stored separately from, products of the Landlord or any other party][the only assets stored on the Premises are Collateral owned by the
Company].]3 

5. [The Landlord agrees that the Collateral may be inspected and evaluated by the Agent or its designee, without necessity of court
order, at any time without payment of any fee.]4 [Prior to
the termination of the Lease, the Agent or its agents, representatives or invitees or any interim receiver, receiver, receiver-manager or other similar official appointed in respect of the Collateral (any “Receiver”) may enter upon
the Premises at any time without any charge or interference by the Landlord to inspect or remove any or all of the Collateral, including, without limitation, by public auction or private sale pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 7 below.]5 

6. In the event of default by the Company in the payment or performance of the Obligations or if the Landlord takes possession of the
Premises for any reason, including because of termination of the Lease (each a “Disposition Event”), the Landlord agrees that, at the Agent’s [or a Receiver’s] option, the Collateral may remain upon the Premises for a
period not to exceed 90 days (the “Disposition Period”) after the earlier of (i) the Agent [or a Receiver] taking possession of the Premises or (ii) receipt by the Agent of a Default Notice; provided that the Agent pays
rent (and utility costs, taxes and insurance premiums to the extent the Company is obligated to do so under the Lease and to the extent not included in the rent) on a per diem basis for the period of time the Agent remains on the Premises, based
upon the amount of rent set forth in the Lease (such rent and utility costs, taxes and insurance premiums being collectively referred to herein as “Rents”). If any injunction or stay is issued (including an automatic stay due to a
bankruptcy proceeding) that prohibits the Agent from removing the Collateral, commencement of the Disposition Period shall be deferred until such injunction or stay is lifted or removed. Any other extensions of the Disposition Period shall be with
the written consent of the Landlord and at the same rate. 
 7. Subject to the Agent’s obligation to pay Rents to the
Landlord pursuant to paragraph 6 of this Access Agreement and to repair the Premises pursuant to paragraph 8 of this 

 

	2 	Bracketed language in paragraph 2 shall apply only to Premises located in Europe. 


	3 	Bracketed language in paragraph 4 shall apply only to Premises located in Europe. 


	4 	For Premises not located in Canada. 


	5 	 For Premises located in Canada.

Access Agreement, after the occurrence of a Disposition Event and during any Disposition Period, the Agent (a) or its designee[, agent, representative or any Receiver] may, without necessity
of court order, enter upon the Premises, at reasonable times, to inspect or remove all or any Collateral from the Premises without interference by the Landlord, and the Agent or its designee[, agent, representative or any Receiver] may sell,
transfer, or otherwise dispose of that Collateral free of all liens, security interests, claims, demands, rights and interests that the Landlord may have in that Collateral by law or agreement, including, without limitation, by public auction or
private sale (and the Agent [or its designee, agent, representative or any Receiver] may advertise and conduct such auction or sale at the Premises, and shall use reasonable efforts to notify the Landlord of its intention to hold any such auction or
sale and to hold such auction or sale in a manner which would not unduly disrupt the Landlord’s or any other tenants’ use of the Premises), in each case, without interference by the Landlord and (b) shall make the Premises available
for inspection by the Landlord and prospective tenants and shall cooperate in the Landlord’s reasonable efforts to re-lease the Premises. 
 8. The Agent shall promptly repair, at the Agent’s expense and to the Landlord’s commercially reasonable satisfaction, or reimburse the Landlord for any physical damage to the Premises actually
caused by the conduct of any auction or sale and any removal of the Collateral by or through the Agent (ordinary wear and tear excluded). Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall (a) be liable to the Landlord for any diminution in value of the
Premises caused by the absence of any removed Collateral or (b) have any duty or obligation to remove or dispose of any Collateral or other property left on the Premises by the Company. 

9. Without affecting the validity of this Access Agreement, any of the Obligations may be extended, amended or otherwise modified without
the consent of the Landlord and without giving notice thereof to the Landlord. This Access Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successor and assigns of the Agent and shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns of the Landlord. The person signing this Access Agreement on behalf of the Landlord, if any, represents to the Agent that he/she has the authority to do so on behalf of the Landlord. 

10. All notices hereunder shall be in writing and sent by certified mail (return receipt requested), overnight mail, facsimile or other
electronic transmission, to the other party at the address set forth on the signature page hereto or at such other address as such other party shall otherwise designate in accordance with this paragraph. 

11. This Access Agreement is governed by [the laws of the State of New York]6, without regard to the conflict of laws provisions. Each party hereto agrees that any legal action or proceeding with
respect to any of its obligations under this Access Agreement may be brought by the other party in any [state or federal court located in New York, New York]. By its execution and delivery of this Access Agreement, each party hereto submits to and
accepts, for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of those courts. Each party hereto waives any claim that the [State of New York] is not a convenient forum or the proper venue for any
such action or proceeding. 
 12. WAIVER OF SPECIAL DAMAGES. THE LANDLORD WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY
LAW, ANY RIGHT THE LANDLORD MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER FROM THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

 13. JURY WAIVER. THE LANDLORD AND THE AGENT HEREBY VOLUNTARILY, KNOWINGLY,
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THE LANDLORD AND THE AGENT IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS ACCESS AGREEMENT. 

14. This Access Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment in full of all Obligations.
