	 Pricing

Level
	 	Debt Rating	 	LIBOR +	 	 	Base Rate +	 	 	Facility

 Each change in

such publicly announced change. If at any time there is a split in the Debt Ratings issued by the Rating Agencies, then the higher of such Debt Ratings shall apply (with the Debt Rating for Pricing Level I being the highest and the Debt Rating for
Pricing Level VI being the lowest), unless there is a split in Debt Ratings of more than one Pricing Level, in which case the Pricing Level that is one Pricing Level higher than the Pricing Level of the lower Debt Rating shall apply. In the event of
a Rating Agency Disruption with respect to one of the Rating Agencies, the Debt Rating of the non-affected Rating Agency shall be the basis for determining the Pricing Level for a period ending on the earlier of (i) the date an Alternate Rating
Agency is approved by the Administrative Agent and (ii) thirty (30) days following such Rating Agency Disruption, during which period the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent will engage in good faith negotiations to name an
Alternate Rating Agency. If, at the end of such period, an Alternate Rating Agency has not been named, Pricing Level VI shall apply until an Alternate Rating Agency is named. In the event of a Rating Agency Disruption with respect to both of the
Rating Agencies, Pricing Level VI shall apply and the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower shall enter into good faith negotiations to name two Alternate Rating Agencies. In the event of the approval of an Alternate Rating Agency, references

Lender or (iii) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. 
 “Asset

(ii) sales or liquidations of Cash Equivalents, it being understood and agreed that the grant of a Lien by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in favor of another Person shall not in and of itself constitute an “Asset Sale”
for purposes of this definition. 
 “Asset Securitization” shall mean a sale, other transfer or factoring
arrangement by the U.S. Borrower and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries of accounts, related general intangibles and chattel paper, and the related security and collections with respect thereto to a special purpose Subsidiary (an

pursuant to the Standard Securitization Undertakings. 
 “Assignment and Assumption” shall mean an assignment
and assumption entered into by a Lender and an assignee (with the consent of any party whose consent is required by Section 11.9), and accepted by the Administrative Agent, in substantially the form attached as
Exhibit G or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent. 
 “Attributable Securitization
Indebtedness” shall mean, at any time with respect to an Asset Securitization by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the principal amount of Indebtedness which (i) if the financing received by an SPV as part of such Asset
Securitization is treated as a secured lending arrangement, is the principal amount of such Indebtedness, or (ii) if the financing received by the relevant SPV is structured as a purchase agreement, would be outstanding at such time if such
financing were structured as a secured lending arrangement rather than a purchase agreement, and in any such case which Indebtedness is without recourse to the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than such SPV or pursuant to Standard
Securitization Undertakings), in each case, together with interest payable thereon and fees payable in connection therewith. 

“Bankruptcy Code” shall have the meaning provided in Section 9.1(e). 

“Bankruptcy Court” shall mean the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. 

“Base Rate” shall mean, at any time, the highest of (i) the Prime Rate (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus
0.50% and (iii) except during any period of time during which a notice delivered to the U.S. Borrower under Section 4.8 shall remain in effect, LIBOR (as defined in clause (ii) of the definition thereof) plus 1.00%;
each change in the Base Rate shall take effect simultaneously with the corresponding change or changes in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Rate or LIBOR.

(105%) of the L/C Commitment or (ii) for any other reason, the outstanding principal amount of all L/C Obligations exceeds the L/C Commitment, then, in each such case, the U.S. Borrower shall, with respect to any Letters of Credit then
outstanding, make a payment of cash collateral into a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount of such amount in excess of the L/C Commitment (such cash
collateral to be applied in accordance with Section 9.2(b)). 
 (v) Compliance and Payments.
The Borrowers’ compliance with this Section 2.4(b) shall be tested from time to time by the Administrative Agent at its sole discretion, but in any event shall be tested on the date on which (A) the U.S. Borrower,

  

 37 








 
on behalf of the applicable Borrower, requests that the applicable Lenders make a Revolving Credit Loan, (B) the U.S. Borrower requests that the Swingline Lender make a Swingline Loan or
(C) the U.S. Borrower requests that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit. Each such repayment pursuant to this Section 2.4(b) shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.9.

 (c) Optional Prepayments. The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time prepay Revolving Credit Loans and
Swingline Loans, in whole or in part, with irrevocable prior written notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D (a “Notice of Prepayment”) given not later than 1:00 p.m.
(i) on the same Business Day as prepayment of each Base Rate Loan and each Swingline Loan, (ii) at least three (3) Business Days before prepayment of each LIBOR Rate Loan denominated in Dollars and (iii) at least four
(4) Business Days before prepayment of each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan, specifying (A) the date and amount of prepayment, (B) whether the prepayment is of Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Loans or a combination
thereof, and, if a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each, (C) the applicable Alternative Currency in which any Revolving Credit Loan is denominated and (D) with respect to Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars, whether
the repayment is of LIBOR Rate Loans, Base Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender. If any such
notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date set forth in such notice. Partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate amount of (i) $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof with
respect to Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) or any lesser amount outstanding, (ii) $5,000,000, €5,000,000 or C$5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000, €1,000,000 or C$1,000,000 in excess thereof with respect to LIBOR
Rate Loans or any lesser amount outstanding and (iii) $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof with respect to Swingline Loans or any lesser amount outstanding. A Notice of Prepayment received after 1:00 p.m. shall be deemed
received on the next Business Day. Each such prepayment shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.9 hereof. 

(d) Limitation on Prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans. Any prepayment of any LIBOR Rate Loan on any day other than on the last day of
the Interest Period applicable thereto shall be subject to the terms of Section 4.9 hereof. 
 SECTION 2.5
Permanent Reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment. 
 (a) Voluntary Reduction. The U.S. Borrower shall have
the right at any time and from time to time, upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, to permanently reduce, without premium or penalty, (i) the entire Revolving Credit Commitment at any time
or (ii) portions of the Revolving Credit Commitment, from time to time, in an aggregate principal amount not less than $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment shall be
applied to the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Lender according to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage. All facility fees accrued with respect to any portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment terminated pursuant hereto shall be paid on
the effective date of such termination. 
  

 38 








 (b) Corresponding Payment. Each permanent reduction permitted pursuant to this
Section shall be accompanied by a payment of principal sufficient to reduce the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings, after such reduction to the Revolving Credit Commitment as so reduced and if the Revolving Credit Commitment as so reduced
is less than the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, the U.S. Borrower shall be required to deposit cash collateral in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount of such
amount in excess of the Revolving Credit Commitment. Such cash collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 9.2(b). Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment to zero shall be accompanied by payment of all outstanding
Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans (and furnishing of cash collateral satisfactory to the Administrative Agent for all L/C Obligations) and shall result in the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Swingline Commitment and
the Revolving Credit Facility. If the reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment requires the repayment of any LIBOR Rate Loan, such repayment shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.9 hereof.

 SECTION 2.6 Termination of Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility and the Revolving Credit
Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. 
 ARTICLE III 

LETTER OF CREDIT FACILITY 

SECTION 3.1 L/C Commitment. 

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements
of the other Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue standby letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the U.S. Borrower on any Business Day from the Closing Date through but not
including the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the
Maturity Date in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided, that the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (a) the L/C
Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (b) the Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in a Permitted Currency in a minimum amount to be agreed to
by the Issuing Lender, (ii) be a standby letter of credit issued to support obligations of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, contingent or otherwise, incurred in the ordinary course of business, (iii) be in a form satisfactory
to the Issuing Lender, (iv) expire on a date no more than twelve (12) months after the date of issuance or last renewal of such Letter of Credit (subject to automatic renewal for additional one (1) year periods pursuant to the terms
of the Letter of Credit Application or other documentation acceptable to the Issuing Lender), which date shall be no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Maturity Date and (v) be subject to the Uniform Customs and/or ISP98,
as set forth in the Letter of Credit Application or as determined by the Issuing Lender and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York. The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of
Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law. References herein to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of
Credit shall also include extensions or 
  

 39 








 
modifications of any outstanding Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires. As of the Closing Date, each of the Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute, for all purposes of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, a Letter of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder. 
 (b) Defaulting
Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.3, the Issuing Lender shall not be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit at a time when any other Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing
Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of cash collateral, with the U.S. Borrower or such Defaulting Lender and satisfactory to the Issuing Lender to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to
Section 4.15(c)) with respect to any such Defaulting Lender. 
 SECTION 3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letters of
Credit. The U.S. Borrower may from time to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Lender, at the office of the Issuing Lender specified in or determined in accordance with
Section 11.1, a Letter of Credit Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may request (which information
shall include the Permitted Currency in which such Letter of Credit shall be denominated). Upon receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the Issuing Lender shall process such Letter of Credit Application and the certificates, documents and other
papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall, subject to Section 3.1 and Article V, promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no
event shall the Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the Letter of Credit Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and
information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by the Issuing Lender and the U.S. Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the U.S. Borrower a
copy of such Letter of Credit and promptly notify each Lender of the issuance and upon request by any Lender, furnish to such Lender a copy of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such Lender’s participation therein. 

SECTION 3.3 Commissions and Other Charges. 

(a) Letter of Credit Commissions. Subject to Section 4.15(f), the U.S. Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent,
for the account of the Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants, a letter of credit commission with respect to each Letter of Credit in the amount equal to the face amount of such Letter of Credit multiplied by the Applicable Margin with
respect to Revolving Credit Loans that are LIBOR Rate Loans (determined on a per annum basis). Such commission shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, on the Maturity Date and thereafter on demand of
the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute to the Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants all commissions received pursuant to this Section in accordance with their respective
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages. 
 (b) Fronting Fee. In addition to the foregoing commission, the U.S. Borrower
shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit as set forth in the applicable Fee Letter. Such fronting fee shall

  

 40 








 
be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Maturity Date
and thereafter on demand of the Administrative Agent. 
 (c) Other Costs. In addition to the foregoing fees and
commissions, the U.S. Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any
Letter of Credit. 
 SECTION 3.4 L/C Participations. 

(a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue
Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and
risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft
paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the U.S.
Borrower through a Revolving Credit Loan or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal
to the Dollar Amount of such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed. 

(b) Upon becoming aware of any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Issuing Lender pursuant to
Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and each L/C Participant of the amount and due date of
such required payment and such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender the amount specified on the applicable due date (which amount shall be payable in Dollars in the applicable amount determined in accordance with
Section 3.4(a)). If any such amount is paid to the Issuing Lender after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender, in addition to such amount, the product of (i) such amount, times
(ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent during the period from and including the date such payment is due to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times
(iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. A certificate of the Issuing Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive
in the absence of manifest error. With respect to payment to the Issuing Lender of the unreimbursed amounts described in this Section, if the L/C Participants receive notice that any such payment is due (A) prior to 1:00 p.m. on any Business
Day, such payment shall be due that Business Day, and (B) after 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day. 

(c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant
its Revolving Credit Commitment 
  

 41 








 
Percentage of such payment in accordance with this Section, the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from a Borrower or otherwise), or any
payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to
be returned by the Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it. 

(d) All payments made by any L/C Participant under this Section shall be made in Dollars (based upon the Dollar Amount of the
applicable payment); provided that the U.S. Borrower shall be liable for any currency exchange loss pursuant to the terms of Section 4.10(d). 

SECTION 3.5 Reimbursement Obligations. 

(a) Reimbursement Obligation of the U.S. Borrower. In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the U.S. Borrower agrees
to reimburse (either with the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Loan as provided for in this Section or with funds from other sources), in same day funds, in Dollars, the Issuing Lender on each date on which the Issuing Lender notifies the U.S.
Borrower of the date and the Dollar Amount of a draft paid under any Letter of Credit for the Dollar Amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any amounts referred to in Section 3.3(c) incurred by the Issuing Lender in
connection with such payment (including, without limitation, any and all costs, fees and other expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in effecting the payment of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency). 

(b) Reimbursement Obligation of the Lenders. Unless the U.S. Borrower shall immediately notify the Issuing Lender that the U.S.
Borrower intends to reimburse the Issuing Lender for such drawing from other sources or funds, the U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent requesting that the Lenders make a Revolving
Credit Loan denominated in Dollars bearing interest at the Base Rate on such date in the Dollar Amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any amounts referred to in Section 3.3(c) incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection
with such payment (including, without limitation, any and all costs, fees and other expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in effecting the payment of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency), and the Lenders shall make such
requested Revolving Credit Loan, the proceeds of which shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of the related drawing and costs and expenses. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to fund a Revolving Credit
Loan in accordance with this Section to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any draft paid under a Letter of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation,
non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.3(a) or Article V. If the U.S. Borrower has elected to pay the amount of such drawing with funds from other sources and shall fail to reimburse the Issuing Lender as
provided above, the unreimbursed amount of such drawing shall bear interest at the rate which would be payable on any outstanding Base Rate Loans which were then overdue from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full. 
 SECTION 3.6 Obligations Absolute. The U.S. Borrower’s
obligations under this Article III (including, without limitation, the Reimbursement Obligation) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set off, counterclaim or

  

 42 








 
defense to payment which the U.S. Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The U.S. Borrower also agrees that the
Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants shall not be responsible for, and the U.S. Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of
any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the U.S. Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of
Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the U.S. Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission,
dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions caused by the Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment. The U.S. Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of
gross negligence or willful misconduct shall be binding on the U.S. Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to the U.S. Borrower. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the U.S. Borrower in
connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered
under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit. 
 SECTION 3.7
Effect of Letter of Credit Application. To the extent that any provision of any Letter of Credit Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article III, the provisions of this
Article III shall apply. 
 ARTICLE IV 

GENERAL LOAN PROVISIONS 

SECTION 4.1 Interest. 

(a) Interest Rate Options. Subject to the provisions of this Section, at the election of the U.S. Borrower: 

(i) Revolving Credit Loans (other than Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans) shall bear interest at (A) the
Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or (B) the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin (provided that the LIBOR Rate shall not be available until the second Business Day after the Closing Date unless the U.S. Borrower has delivered
to the Administrative Agent a letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent indemnifying the Lenders in the manner set forth in Section 4.9 of this Agreement (any such letter, a “Closing Date
Indemnification Letter”)); 
 (ii) the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans shall bear interest
at the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin (provided that the LIBOR 
  

 43 








 
Rate shall not be available until four (4) Business Days after the Closing Date unless the U.S. Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a Closing Date Indemnification Letter); and

 (iii) any Swingline Loan shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate
Loans. 
 The U.S. Borrower, on behalf of the Applicable Borrower, shall select the rate of interest and Interest Period, if any, applicable to
any Loan at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given or at the time a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is given pursuant to Section 4.2. Any Loan or any portion thereof as to which the U.S. Borrower has not duly specified a currency as
provided herein shall be deemed a Revolving Credit Loan denominated in Dollars. Any Revolving Credit Loan denominated in Dollars or any portion thereof as to which the U.S. Borrower has not duly specified an interest rate as provided herein shall be
deemed a Base Rate Loan and any LIBOR Rate Loan or any portion thereof as to which the U.S. Borrower, on behalf of the Applicable Borrower, has not duly specified an Interest Period as provided herein shall be deemed a LIBOR Rate Loan for a one
(1) month Interest Period. 
 (b) Interest Periods. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, the U.S. Borrower, on
behalf of the Applicable Borrower, by giving notice at the times described in Section 2.3 or 4.2, as applicable, shall elect an interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) to be applicable to such Loan, which
Interest Period shall be a period of one (1), three (3), or six (6) months; provided that: 
 (i) the
Interest Period shall commence on the date of advance of or conversion to any LIBOR Rate Loan and, in the case of immediately successive Interest Periods, each successive Interest Period shall commence on the date on which the immediately preceding
Interest Period expires; 
 (ii) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business
Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, that if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs
in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding Business Day; 
 (iii) any Interest
Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of the relevant calendar
month at the end of such Interest Period; 
 (iv) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date,
without payment of any amounts pursuant to Section 4.9; and 
 (v) there shall be no more than eight
(8) Interest Periods in effect at any time. 
  

 44 








 (c) Default Rate. Subject to Section 9.2, (i) immediately upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a), or 9.1(e), or (ii) at the election of the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default:

 (A) the Borrowers shall no longer have the option to request Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans,
LIBOR Rate Loans, Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit; 
 (B) all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in
Dollars shall bear interest at a rate per annum of two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in Dollars until the end of the applicable Interest Period and
thereafter at a rate equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to Base Rate Loans; 

(C) all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall bear interest at a rate per annum of two
percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in such Alternative Currency; 

(D) all outstanding Base Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of
the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to Base Rate Loans; and 
 (E) all other Obligations
arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) applicable to such other Obligation (provided, that if no rate
for such other Obligation is set forth herein or in such other Loan Document, then such Obligation shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to Base
Rate Loans). 
 Interest shall continue to accrue on the Obligations after the filing by or against any Borrower of any petition seeking any
relief in bankruptcy or under any act or law pertaining to insolvency or debtor relief, whether state, federal or foreign. 

(d) Interest Payment and Computation. Interest on each Base Rate Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day
of each calendar quarter commencing on June 30, 2010; and interest on each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, and if such Interest Period extends over three (3) months, at
the end of each three (3) month interval during such Interest Period; provided, that accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. All computations of
interest for Base Rate Loans based on the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest provided hereunder shall be made on the basis of a
360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year). 
  

 45 








 (e) Maximum Rate. 

(i) In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest under this Agreement charged
or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. 

(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.1 or any other provision of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, in no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as such term is defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada)) exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advanced” (as such term is
defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada)) lawfully permitted under Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). The effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted
actuarial practices and principles over the term of the applicable Loan, and in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries qualified for a period of ten (10) years and appointed by the
Administrative Agent will be conclusive for the purposes of such determination. A certificate of an authorized signing officer of the Administrative Agent as to each amount and/or each rate of interest payable hereunder from time to time shall be
conclusive evidence of such amount and of such rate, absent manifest error. 
 (iii) In the event that such a
court determines that the Lenders have charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in effect hereunder shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law and the Lenders shall
at the Administrative Agent’s option (i) promptly refund to the Applicable Borrower any interest received by the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful rate or (ii) apply such excess to the principal balance of the Obligations on a
pro rata basis. It is the intent hereof that the Borrowers not pay or contract to pay, and that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest
in excess of that which may be paid by the Borrowers under Applicable Law. 
 (f) Interest Act (Canada). For the
purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever any interest or fee under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, the rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when
expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which such annual rate is to be
ascertained, and (z) divided by 360 or 365, as the case may be; (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement; and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this
Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields. 
  

 46 








 SECTION 4.2 Notice and Manner of Conversion or Continuation of Loans. Provided that
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Borrowers shall have the option to: 
 (a) convert at
any time on or after the second Business Day after the Closing Date all or any portion of any outstanding Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) in a principal amount equal to $3,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof
into one or more LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in Dollars; 
 (b) upon the expiration of any Interest Period with respect to any
LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, (i) convert any part of its outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in Dollars in a principal amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof into Base Rate Loans (other
than Swingline Loans) or the entire remaining amount thereof or (ii) continue such LIBOR Rate Loans as LIBOR Rate Loans; 

(c) upon the expiration of any Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, continue such
LIBOR Rate Loans as LIBOR Rate Loans in such Alternative Currency. 
 Whenever a Borrower desires to convert or continue Loans
as provided above, the U.S. Borrower, on behalf of the Applicable Borrower, shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice in the form attached as Exhibit E (a “Notice of
Conversion/Continuation”) not later than 1:00 p.m. three (3) Business Days before the day on which a proposed conversion or continuation of such Loan denominated in Dollars and four (4) Business Days before the day on which a
proposed conversion or continuation of such Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency is to be effective specifying: 

(A) the Loans to be converted or continued, and, in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loan to be converted or continued, the last
day of the Interest Period therefor (including the applicable Permitted Currency in which such Loan(s) is (are) denominated); 

(B) the effective date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day); 

(C) the principal amount of such Loans to be converted or continued; and 

(D) the Interest Period to be applicable to such converted or continued LIBOR Rate Loan. 

The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the affected Lenders of such Notice of Conversion/Continuation. 

SECTION 4.3 Fees. 

(a) Facility Fee. Subject to Section 4.15(f), the U.S. Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account
of each Lender, a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Margin on the daily amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment 

 

 47 








 
of such Lender (whether used or unused) during the period from and including the date hereof to but excluding the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment terminates; provided that,
if any Loans of a Lender remain outstanding after its Revolving Credit Commitment terminates, then such Facility Fee shall continue to accrue on the daily principal amount of such Lender’s Loans from and including the date on which its
Revolving Credit Commitment terminates to but excluding the date on which such Lender’s Loans have been paid in full. Accrued Facility Fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter of each year and on the
date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof; provided that any Facility Fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate shall be
payable on demand. 
 (b) Other Fees. The U.S. Borrower shall pay to the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Administrative
Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letters. The U.S. Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so
specified. 
 SECTION 4.4 Manner of Payment. 

(a) Loans Denominated in Dollars and Letters of Credit. Each payment by the U.S. Borrower on account of the principal of or
interest on any Loan denominated in Dollars or any Letter of Credit or of any fee, commission or other amounts (including the Reimbursement Obligation with respect to any Letter of Credit) payable to the Lenders under this Agreement (or any of them)
shall be made not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified for payment under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the account of the Lenders entitled to such payment in Dollars (except as set
forth below), in immediately available funds and shall be made without any set off, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever. Any payment received after such time but before 2:00 p.m. on such day shall be deemed a payment on such date for the purposes
of Section 9.1(a), but for all other purposes shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Any payment received after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day for all
purposes. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of each such payment, the Administrative Agent (i) shall distribute to each such Lender at its address for notices set forth herein its pro rata share of such payment in
accordance with the amounts then due and payable to such Lenders (except as specified below) and (ii) shall wire advice of the amount of such credit to each Lender. Each payment to the Administrative Agent on account of the principal of or
interest on the Swingline Loans or of any fee, commission or other amounts payable to the Swingline Lender shall be made in like manner, but for the account of the Swingline Lender. Each payment to the Administrative Agent of the Issuing
Lender’s fees or L/C Participants’ commissions shall be made in like manner, but for the account of the Issuing Lender or the L/C Participants, as the case may be. Each payment to the Administrative Agent of Administrative Agent’s
fees or expenses shall be made for the account of the Administrative Agent and any amount payable to any Lender under Sections 4.9, 4.10, 4.12 or 11.3 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
applicable Lender. Subject to Section 4.1(b)(ii) and (iii), if any payment under this Agreement shall be specified to be made upon a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business
Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing any interest payable along with such payment. 
  

 48 








 (b) Loans Denominated in an Alternative Currency. Each payment by the Applicable
Borrower on account of the principal of or interest on any Loan denominated in any Alternative Currency payable to the Lenders under this Agreement (or any of them) shall be made not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified for payment under this
Agreement to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the account of the Lenders entitled to such payment in the same Alternative Currency in which the Loan was made (except as set forth below), in immediately available
funds and shall be made without any set off, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever. Any payment received after such time but before 2:00 p.m. on such day shall be deemed a payment on such date for the purposes of Section 9.1(a), but for
all other purposes shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Any payment received after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day for all purposes. Upon receipt by the Administrative
Agent of each such payment, the Administrative Agent (i) shall distribute to each such Lender at its address for notices set forth herein its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with the amounts then due and payable to
such Lenders, (except as specified below) and (ii) shall wire advice of the amount of such credit to each Lender. Subject to Section 4.1(b)(ii) and (iii), if any payment under this Agreement shall be specified to be made upon
a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing any interest payable along with such payment. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any Applicable Law from making any required payment
hereunder in an Alternative Currency, subject to Section 4.10(d), such Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Amount of such payment. 

SECTION 4.5 Evidence of Indebtedness. 

(a) Extensions of Credit. The Extensions of Credit made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records
maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Extensions of
Credit made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Applicable Borrower hereunder to pay any amount
owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the
Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the U.S. Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Revolving
Credit Note and/or Swingline Note, as applicable, which shall evidence such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans, Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans and/or Swingline Loans, as applicable, in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender
may attach schedules to its Notes and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 

(b) Participations. In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the Administrative
Agent shall maintain in accordance with its 
  

 49 








 
usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts
and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. 

SECTION 4.6 Adjustments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in
respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations
(other than pursuant to Sections 4.9, 4.10, 4.12 or 11.3) greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the
Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such
payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that 

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such
participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and 

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by any Borrower
pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (B) 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 Swingline Loans and
Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). 

Each Credit Party 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 each Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Credit Party in the amount of
such participation. 
 SECTION 4.7 Obligations of Lenders. 

(a) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender prior to the proposed date of any borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share in the
applicable Permitted Currency available on such date in accordance with Section 2.3(b) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Applicable Borrower a corresponding amount in the applicable Permitted Currency. In
such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable borrowing available to the Administrative Agent in the applicable Permitted Currency, then the applicable Lender and the Applicable

  

 50 








 
Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made
available to 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, (A) with respect to any Loan denominated in Dollars, the greater of (1) the daily average Federal Funds Rate and (2) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) with respect to any Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, the greater of (1) a rate equal to the Administrative Agent’s aggregate marginal cost (including the cost of
maintaining any required reserves or deposit insurance and of any fees, penalties, overdraft charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent as a result of the failure to deliver funds hereunder) of carrying such amount and
(2) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation; and 

(ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Applicable Borrower, (A) with respect to any Loan denominated in
Dollars, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans and (B) with respect to any Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, a rate equal to the Administrative Agent’s aggregate marginal cost (including the cost of maintaining any
required reserves or deposit insurance and of any fees, penalties, overdraft charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent as a result of the failure to deliver funds hereunder) of carrying such amount. 

If the Applicable Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly remit to the Applicable Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute
such Lender’s Loan included in such borrowing. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim any Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 

(b) Nature of Obligations of Lenders Regarding Extensions of Credit. The obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement to make
the Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit are several and are not joint or joint and several. The failure of any Lender to make available its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any Loan requested by any Borrower shall not
relieve it or any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing date. 
 SECTION 4.8 Changed
Circumstances. 
 (a) Circumstances Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability and Alternative Currency Availability. In
connection with any request for a LIBOR Rate Loan, an Alternative Currency 
  

 51 








 
Revolving Credit Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent
manifest error) that deposits are not being offered to banks in the applicable interbank market (including, without limitation, the London interbank Eurodollar market) for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan, (ii) the
Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR
Rate Loan, (iii) a fundamental change has occurred in the foreign exchange or interbank markets with respect to any Alternative Currency (including, without limitation, changes in national or international financial, political or economic
conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls), (iv) it has become otherwise materially impractical for the Lenders to make any Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans or (v) the Required Lenders shall determine (which
determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the LIBOR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans during such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent
shall promptly give notice thereof to the U.S. Borrower. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the U.S. Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans and the right of the
Applicable Borrower to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan or an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan, as applicable, shall be suspended, and: 

(A) in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, the U.S. Borrower shall either (1) repay in full (or
cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan, together with accrued interest thereon (subject to Section 4.1(d)), on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such
LIBOR Rate Loan or (2) convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as of the last day of such Interest Period; and 

(B) in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Applicable Borrower shall either
(1) repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan, together with accrued interest thereon (subject to Section 4.1(d)), on the last day of the then current Interest
Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan or (2) convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars as of the last day of such Interest Period; 

provided that if any of the Borrowers elects to make such conversion, the U.S. Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders any
and all costs, fees and other expenses, if any, incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in effecting such conversion. 

(b) Laws Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability and Alternative Currency Availability. If, after the date hereof, the introduction of,
or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of
the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of
the Lenders (or any of their 
  

 52 








 
respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency hereunder to make or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan or any Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit Loan, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the U.S. Borrower and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies
the U.S. Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans or Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, and the right of the Borrowers to convert any Loan or continue
any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan or an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan, as applicable, shall be suspended and thereafter the Borrowers may select only Base Rate Loans and (ii) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain
a LIBOR Rate Loan or an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan, as applicable, to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Loan shall immediately be converted to a Base Rate Loan for the remainder of such
Interest Period; provided that if the U.S. Borrower elects to make such conversion, the U.S. Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders any and all costs, fees and other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders in effecting such conversion. 
 SECTION 4.9 Indemnity. The U.S. Borrower hereby indemnifies each of the Lenders
against any loss or expense (including, without limitation, any foreign exchange costs) which may arise or be attributable to each Lender’s obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any
Loan (a) as a consequence of any failure by any Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection with a LIBOR Rate Loan or an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan, as applicable, (b) due to any failure
of any Borrower to borrow, continue or convert on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation or (c) due to any payment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan or any Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit Loan, as applicable, on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor. The amount of such loss or expense shall be determined, in the applicable Lender’s sole discretion, based upon the assumption that such
Lender funded its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the LIBOR Rate Loans or the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, in the applicable interbank market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which
such Lender deems appropriate and practical. A certificate of such Lender setting forth the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the U.S. Borrower through the Administrative Agent and
shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error. 
 SECTION 4.10 Increased Costs. 

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate) or the Issuing Lender; 

 

 53 








 (ii) subject any Lender or the Issuing Lender to any tax of any kind
whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit, any LIBOR Rate Loan or any Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or
the Issuing Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 4.12 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the Issuing Lender); or 

(iii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Lender or the London interbank or other applicable market any other condition,
cost or expense affecting this Agreement, LIBOR Rate Loans or Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting into or maintaining any LIBOR
Rate Loan or Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of
maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon
written request of such Lender or the Issuing Lender, the U.S. Borrower shall promptly pay to any such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the
case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the
Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving
Credit Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such
Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing
Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender or such Issuing Lender the U.S. Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary
to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section (including, to the extent such information is not deemed by such Lender to be confidential or
proprietary to such Lender, reasonable details on the calculations performed by such Lender or 
  

 54 








 
its holding company in determining such amount or amounts) and delivered to the U.S. Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The U.S. Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing
Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Exchange Indemnification and Increased Costs. The U.S. Borrower shall, upon demand from the Administrative Agent or any
Issuing Lender or L/C Participant, pay to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant, the amount of (i) any loss or cost or increased cost incurred by such Person, (ii) any reduction in any amount
payable to or in the effective return on the capital to such Person, (iii) any interest or any other return, including principal, foregone by such Person as a result of the introduction of, change over to or operation of the Euro or
(iv) any currency exchange loss that such Person sustains, in each case of clauses (i) through (iv), as a result of (1) any payment being made by any Borrower in a currency other than that originally extended to such Borrower or
(2) the failure of any Borrower to repay a Loan or Letter of Credit Obligation denominated in a currency other than Dollars. A certificate of the Administrative Agent setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such additional
amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Administrative Agent, Lender, Issuing Lender or L/C Participant shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error. 

(e) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the U.S. Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to
this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the U.S. Borrower of the Change in Law or
other events or conditions giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 

SECTION 4.11 Regulatory Limitation; Further Assurances. In the event, as a result of increases in the value of Alternative
Currencies against the Dollar or for any other reason, the obligation of any of the Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans (taking into account the Dollar Amount of the Obligations and all other indebtedness required to be aggregated under 12
U.S.C.A. §84, as amended, the regulations promulgated thereunder and any other Applicable Law) is determined by such Lender to exceed its then applicable legal lending limit under 12 U.S.C.A. §84, as amended, and the regulations
promulgated thereunder, or any other Applicable Law, the amount of additional Extensions of Credit such Lender shall be obligated to make or issue or participate in hereunder shall immediately be reduced to the maximum amount which such Lender may
legally advance (as determined by such Lender), the obligation of each of the remaining Lenders hereunder shall be proportionately reduced, based on their applicable Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages and, to the extent necessary under such
laws and regulations (as determined by each of the Lenders, with respect to the applicability of such laws and regulations to itself), and the Borrowers shall reduce, or cause to be reduced, complying to

  

 55 








 
the extent practicable with the remaining provisions hereof, the Obligations outstanding hereunder by an amount sufficient to comply with such maximum amounts. 

SECTION 4.12 Taxes. 

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder or under any other
Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Borrower shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any
Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, the
applicable Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Applicable Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Applicable
Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law. 

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the U.S. Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the U.S. Borrower
shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law. 
 (c)
Indemnification by the U.S. Borrower. The U.S. Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Lender, within ten (10) days after 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) described in this Section 4.12 that are paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the
case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the U.S. Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the
Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any
payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the U.S. Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the U.S. Borrower 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. 

(e) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of
the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the U.S. Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such
payments to be made 
  

 56 








 
without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed
by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting
requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is a resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of
copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only
if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (i) duly
completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, 

(ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, 

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c)
of the Code, (x) a certificate 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 U.S. Borrower within the
meaning of section 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 

(iv) any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States
Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the U.S. Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Lender determines, in its sole discretion,
that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the U.S. Borrower or with respect to which the U.S. Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the U.S. Borrower an
amount equal to such refund within thirty (30) days of such determination (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the U.S. Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes
giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect
to such refund); provided that the U.S. Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the U.S. Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges
imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender is required to repay such

  

 57 








 
refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other
information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the U.S. Borrower or any other Person. 
 (g) Survival.
Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the U.S. Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the U.S. Borrower contained in this Section shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of
the Revolving Credit Commitment. 
 SECTION 4.13 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender delivers notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 4.8(b), or requests compensation under Section 4.10, or requires the U.S. Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.12,
then, upon the request of the U.S. Borrower, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices,
branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would make it lawful or possible, as the case may be, to honor its obligations to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or Alternative Currency Revolving
Credit Loans hereunder or would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.10 or Section 4.12, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense
and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The U.S. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender becomes unable to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or Alternate Currency Revolving
Credit Loans under Section 4.8(b), requests compensation under Section 4.10, or if the U.S. Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 4.12, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender hereunder or becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, or if any Lender is unable, on the date required by Section 11.21(a) or (b) to make any declaration or
representation required therein, then the U.S. 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, and consents required by, Section 11.9), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be
another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: 
 (i) the U.S. Borrower shall have
paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.9; 
 (ii) such Lender
shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other

  

 58 








 
Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 4.9) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the U.S. Borrower (in the
case of all other amounts); 
 (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation
under Section 4.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.12, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; 

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law; and 

(v) in the case of any such assignment with respect to a Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to Section 4.13(b),
(A) such assignment shall be permitted hereunder only if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such proposed assignment and (B) each assignee shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in
respect of which such assignor Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender. 
 A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment
or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the U.S. Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 

SECTION 4.14 Incremental Loans. 

(a) At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the U.S. Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the
establishment of one or more incremental revolving credit commitments (any such incremental revolving credit commitment, an “Incremental Loan Commitment”) to make incremental revolving credit loans (any such incremental revolving
credit loans, an “Incremental Loan”); provided that (1) the total aggregate amount for all such Incremental Loan Commitments shall not (as of any date of incurrence thereof) exceed $200,000,000 and (2) the total
aggregate amount for each Incremental Loan Commitment shall not be less than $20,000,000 or, if less, the remaining amount permitted pursuant to the foregoing clause (1). Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount
Date”) on which the U.S. Borrower proposes that any Incremental Loan Commitment shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than thirty (30) days after the date on which such notice is delivered to Administrative Agent. The U.S.
Borrower may invite any Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender and/or any Approved Fund, and/or any other Person reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, to provide an Incremental Loan Commitment
(any such Person, an “Incremental Lender”). Any Lender or any Incremental Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of any Incremental Loan Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such
Incremental Loan Commitment. Any Incremental Loan Commitment shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that: 

(A) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to any
Incremental Loan Commitment; 
 (B) each Incremental Loan shall be a “Revolving Credit Loan” for all
purposes hereof and shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Revolving 
  

 59 








 
Credit Loans and shall be guaranteed with the other Extensions of Credit on a pari passu basis; 

(C) such Incremental Loan Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more agreements in form and substance
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower executed and delivered by the U.S. Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Incremental Lenders (which agreement or agreements may, without the consent of any other Lenders,
effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 4.14); and 

(D) the U.S. Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary legal opinions or other documents (including,
without limitation, a resolution duly adopted by the board of directors (or equivalent governing body) of the U.S. Borrower authorizing such Incremental Loan (for the avoidance of doubt, resolutions duly adopted by the board of directors (or
equivalent governing body) of the U.S. Borrower delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(b)(ii) which authorize such Incremental Loan shall be sufficient so long as such resolutions are certified as of the applicable Increased Amount Date as
remaining in full force and effect) reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction. 

(b) The outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of Swingline Loans and L/C Obligations will be
reallocated by the Administrative Agent on the applicable Increased Amount Date among the Lenders (including the Incremental Lenders providing such Credit Loans) in accordance with their revised Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (and the
Lenders (including the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Loans) agree to make all payments and adjustments necessary to effect such reallocation and the U.S. Borrower shall pay any and all costs required pursuant to
Section 4.9 in connection with such reallocation as if such reallocation were a repayment). 
 (c) On any Increased
Amount Date on which any Incremental Loan Commitment becomes effective, each Incremental Lender with an Incremental Loan Commitment shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Incremental Loan Commitment. Thereafter it shall be entitled to
the same voting rights as the existing Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility and shall be included in any determination of the Required Lenders. The Incremental Lenders will not constitute a separate voting class for any purposes under this
Agreement. 
 SECTION 4.15 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if
any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law: 

(a) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with
respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.2. 
 (b) Reallocation of Payments.
Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender 

 

 60 








 
(whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.4),
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 that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a
pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, to be held as cash
collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the U.S. Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of
any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower, to
be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender or
Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations
under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against that
Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if
(x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or funded participations in Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or
funded participations in Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and funded participations
in Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or funded participations in Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit owed to, that Defaulting Lender.
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 4.15(b) shall be deemed paid to
and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 
 (c) Reallocation of Applicable
Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of
Credit or Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.2(b) and Section 3.4, the “Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Credit
Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that (x) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists and (y) the aggregate
obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (A) the Revolving Credit

  

 61 








 
Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (B) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans of that Lender. 

(d) Cash Collateral for Letters of Credit. Promptly on demand by the Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent from time to time,
the U.S. Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure with respect to the Issuing Lender (after giving effect to Section 4.15(c)) on terms reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender (and such cash collateral shall be in the same Permitted Currency as the Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Lender). Any such cash collateral shall be deposited in a separate account with
the Administrative Agent, subject to the exclusive dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, as collateral (solely for the benefit of the Issuing Lender) for the payment and performance of each Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentage of outstanding L/C Obligations. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Lender immediately for each Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any
drawing under any Letter of Credit which has not otherwise been reimbursed by the U.S. Borrower or such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms of Section 2.3. 

(e) Prepayment of Swingline Loans. Promptly on demand by the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent from time to time, the
U.S. Borrower shall prepay Swingline Loans in an amount of all Fronting Exposure with respect to the Swingline Lender (after giving effect to Section 4.15(c)). 

(f) Certain Fees. For any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender, that Defaulting Lender (i) shall not be
entitled to receive any Facility Fee pursuant to Section 4.3 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and no Borrower shall be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid
to such Defaulting Lender) and (ii) shall not be entitled to receive any Letter of Credit Fees pursuant to Section 3.3(a) otherwise payable to the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such
Defaulting Lender has not provided cash collateral or other credit support arrangements satisfactory to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 4.15(d), but instead, the U.S. Borrower shall pay to the non-Defaulting Lenders the amount of
such Letter of Credit Fees in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 4.15(c), with the balance of such fee, if any,
payable to the Issuing Lender for its own account. 
 (g) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the U.S. Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto,
whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of
outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be
held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (without giving effect to Section 4.15(c)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting

  

 62 








 
Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender;
and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising
from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

financial statements and subject, in the case of the unaudited financial statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments (all of which are of a recurring nature and none of which, individually or in the aggregate, would be material) and the absence
of footnotes. 
 (b) On and as of the Closing Date, and after giving effect to the Transaction and to all Indebtedness
(including the Loans) being incurred or assumed or paid and discharged by the Credit Parties in connection therewith, (i) the sum of the assets, at a fair valuation, of the U.S. Borrower (on a stand-alone basis) and of the U.S. Borrower and its
Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) will exceed its or their respective debts, (ii) the U.S. Borrower (on a stand-alone basis) and the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) has or have not incurred and does or do not intend to
incur, and does or do not believe that it or they will incur, debts beyond its or their respective ability to pay such debts as such debts mature, and (iii) the U.S. Borrower (on a stand-alone basis) and the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries
(taken as a whole) will have sufficient capital with which to conduct its or their respective businesses. For purposes of this Section 6.5(b), “debt” means any liability on a claim, and “claim” means (a) right to
payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured, or unsecured or (b) right to an equitable remedy for breach of
performance if such breach gives rise to a payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured. The amount of contingent liabilities at
any time shall be computed as the amount that, in the light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability. 

 

 69 








 (c) Except as fully disclosed in the financial statements delivered pursuant to
Section 6.5(a), and except for the Indebtedness incurred under this Agreement, there were as of the Closing Date no liabilities or obligations with respect to the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any nature whatsoever (whether
absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not due) which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to be material to the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, none of the Borrowers
know of any basis for the assertion against it or any of its Subsidiaries of any liability or obligation of any nature whatsoever that is not fully disclosed in the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.5(a) or referred to
in the immediately preceding sentence which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(d) The Projections delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders prior to the Closing Date have been prepared in good faith and
are based on reasonable assumptions, and there are no statements or conclusions in the Projections which are based upon or include information known to the U.S. Borrower to be misleading in any material respect or which fail to take into account
material information known to the U.S. Borrower regarding the matters reported therein. On the Closing Date, the U.S. Borrower believes that the Projections are reasonable and attainable, it being recognized by the Lenders, however, that projections
as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by the Projections may differ from the projected results. 

(e) On and as of the Closing Date, and after giving effect to the Transaction, since December 31, 2009, nothing has occurred (singly
or in aggregate with all other occurrences) that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect; provided that no Extension of Credit (other than the Extensions of Credit occurring on the Closing Date) shall constitute a
representation and warranty that the matters set forth in this Section 6.5(e) are true and correct. 
 SECTION 6.6
Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings, grievances or investigations pending or, to the knowledge of the U.S. Borrower, threatened (i) with respect to this Agreement or any Loan Document or (ii) that have had, or could
reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse effect on the Transaction. 

SECTION 6.7 True and Complete Disclosure. All factual information (taken as a whole) furnished by or on behalf of the U.S.
Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or any transaction contemplated herein or therein, is, and all other such
factual information (taken as a whole) hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of
which such information is dated or certified and not incomplete by omitting to state any fact necessary to make such information (taken as a whole) not misleading in any material respect at such time in light of the circumstances under which such
information was provided, it being understood and agreed that for purposes of this Section 6.7, such factual information shall not include the Projections or any pro forma financial information. 

 

 70 








 SECTION 6.8 Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. 

(a) All proceeds of the Loans will be used to refinance the existing Indebtedness of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries under the
Existing Credit Agreement and for other working capital and general corporate purposes of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries. 

(b) At the time of each Extension of Credit, the value of the Margin Stock at any time owned by the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries
does not exceed 25% of the value of the assets of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Neither the making of any Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof nor the occurrence of any other Extension of Credit will violate or be
inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. 
 SECTION 6.9
Tax Returns and Payments. Each of the U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be timely filed with the appropriate taxing authority all material returns, statements, forms and reports for taxes (the
“Returns”) required to be filed by, or with respect to the U.S. Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries. The Returns accurately reflect in all material respects all liability for taxes of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries, as
applicable, for the periods covered thereby. Each of the U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has paid all federal and state income taxes and all other material taxes and assessments payable by it which have become due, other than those that
are being contested in good faith and adequately disclosed and fully provided for on the financial statements of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries in accordance with U.S. GAAP. On the Closing Date, there is no material action, suit, proceeding,
investigation, audit or claim now pending or, to the best knowledge of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened by any authority regarding any taxes relating to the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date,
except as set forth on Schedule 6.9, neither the U.S. Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered into an agreement or waiver or been requested to enter into an agreement or waiver extending any statute of limitations relating to the
payment or collection of taxes of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or is aware of any circumstances that would cause the taxable years or other taxable periods of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries not to be subject to the
normally applicable statute of limitations. Neither the U.S. Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred, nor will any of them incur, any material tax liability in connection with the Transaction or any other transactions contemplated hereby
(it being understood that the representation contained in this sentence does not cover any future tax liabilities of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries arising as a result of the operation of their businesses in the ordinary course of
business). 
 SECTION 6.10 Compliance with ERISA; Non-U.S. Plans. 

(a) The U.S. Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate have operated and administered each Plan in compliance with all applicable laws except for
such instances of noncompliance as have not resulted in and could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the U.S. Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or
the penalty or excise tax provisions of the Code relating to employee benefit plans (as defined in Section 3 of ERISA), and no event, transaction or condition has occurred or exists that could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence
of any such liability by the 
  

 71 








 
U.S. Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate, or in the imposition of any Lien on any of the rights, properties or assets of the U.S. Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate, in either case pursuant to Title I
or IV of ERISA or to such penalty or excise tax provisions or to section 412 of the Code, other than such liabilities or Liens as could not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in the occurrence of a Material Adverse
Effect. 
 (b) Neither the U.S. Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred (i) withdrawal liabilities (or are subject to
contingent withdrawal liabilities) under section 4201 or 4204 of ERISA in respect of Multiemployer Plans that could reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in the occurrence of a Material Adverse Effect or
(ii) any obligation in connection with the termination or withdrawal from any Non-U.S. Plan that could reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in the occurrence of a Material Adverse Effect. 

(c) The expected postretirement benefit obligation (determined as of the last day of the U.S. Borrower’s most recently ended fiscal
year in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 106, without regard to liabilities attributable to continuation coverage mandated by section 4980B of the Code) of the U.S. Borrower could not reasonably be expected to
result in the occurrence of a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (d) All Non-U.S. Plans have been registered, established, operated,
administered and maintained in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders applicable thereto, except where failure so to comply could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All premiums, contributions and any other
amounts required by applicable Non-U.S. Plan documents or applicable laws to be paid or accrued by the U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have been paid or accrued as required and all obligations of the U.S. Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries under each applicable Non-U.S. Plan Document have been performed by the U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, except where failure so to pay or accrue such amounts or to perform such obligations, as the case may be, could not be
reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 6.11 Capitalization. On the Closing Date, the
authorized capital stock of the U.S. Borrower consists of (x) 400,000,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share (such authorized shares of common stock, together with any subsequently authorized shares of common stock of the U.S.
Borrower, the “U.S. Borrower Common Stock”) and (y) 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 per value per share, 103,200,000 (subject to adjustments associated with stock option, stock compensation or similar plans) of which
shares of such U.S. Borrower Common Stock are issued and outstanding and none of which such shares of preferred stock of the U.S. Borrower are issued and outstanding. All such outstanding shares have been duly and validly issued, are fully paid and
non-assessable and have been issued free of preemptive rights. As of the Closing Date, except as set forth on Schedule 6.11 hereto, the U.S. Borrower does not have outstanding any capital stock or other securities convertible into or
exchangeable for its capital stock or any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, or any agreement providing for the issuance (contingent or otherwise) of, or any calls, commitments or claims of any character
relating to, its capital stock or any stock appreciation or similar rights. 
  

 72 








 SECTION 6.12 Subsidiaries. On and as of the Closing Date, the U.S. Borrower has no
Subsidiaries other than those Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 6.12 (with each Subsidiary that is (x) a Guarantor or (y) an Immaterial Subsidiary on the Closing Date identified as such). 

SECTION 6.13 Compliance with Statutes, etc. The U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all applicable
statutes, regulations and orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all Governmental Authorities in respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its property (including, without limitation, applicable statutes,
regulations, orders and restrictions relating to environmental standards and controls), except such non-compliances as could not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 

SECTION 6.14 Investment Company Act. No Borrower is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an
“investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
 SECTION 6.15
Environmental Matters.

Subsidiaries is in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and the requirements of any permits issued under such Environmental Laws. The U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all of the permits and approvals required of
them under Environmental Laws for the operation of their respective businesses. There are no pending or, to the knowledge of the U.S. Borrower, threatened Environmental Claims against the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Real Property
owned, leased or operated by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including any such claim arising out of the ownership, lease or operation by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Real Property formerly owned, leased or
operated by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries but no longer owned, leased or operated by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries). There are no facts, circumstances, conditions or occurrences with respect to the business or
operations of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Real Property owned, leased or operated by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including any Real Property formerly owned, leased or operated by the U.S. Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries but no longer owned, leased or operated by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) or, to the knowledge of the U.S. Borrower, any property adjoining or adjacent to any such Real Property that could be reasonably expected

Environmental Law.

 73 








 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.15, the
representations and warranties made in this Section 6.15 shall be untrue only if the effect of any or all conditions, violations, claims, restrictions, failures and noncompliances of the types described above could, either individually

 SECTION 6.16 Employment and Labor
Relations. On the Closing Date, there are (i) no material strikes, lockouts, stoppages or slowdowns or any other material labor disputes against the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of the

(a) If at any time any Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower is created, established or acquired and such Wholly Owned
Domestic Subsidiary is (or would have been if at such time it had been a Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower), on the last day of the most recently ended Test Period for which financial statements have been or are required to have
been delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(a) or (b), as applicable, a Material Subsidiary (with the “Immaterial Subsidiaries” tests being recalculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such creation, establishment
or acquisition), the U.S. Borrower will, within 10 Business Days after such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary is created, established, acquired, notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, will as promptly as practicable, and in any event within
sixty days, cause such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary to take all actions required for such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary to become a party to the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement
and take all action in connection therewith as would otherwise have been required to be taken pursuant to Section 5.1 if such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary had been a Subsidiary Guarantor on the Closing Date; provided that if the U.S.
Borrower determines in good faith, (before such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary has complied with the requirements of this Section 7.12(a)), that such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary will not remain a Material Subsidiary for more than
sixty days after the date of the creation, establishment or acquisition thereof, because of contemplated transfers of assets permitted under Section 8.2 by such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary (with the “Immaterial Subsidiary”
tests being recalculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such transfers of assets), then so long as the U.S. Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent thereof within the sixty day period referenced above, such Wholly Owned Domestic
Subsidiary shall not be required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor (unless the respective transfer of assets does not occur within such sixty day period or unless and until it is subsequently required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the
provisions of Section 7.12(b)); provided, further that if the preceding proviso is applicable, the U.S. Borrower shall determine in good faith whether any of the transfers of assets contemplated by the preceding proviso would result in
one or more other Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries of the U.S. Borrower which are not Subsidiary Guarantors and which previously constituted Immaterial Subsidiaries no longer constituting same (with determinations to be made in good faith on a pro
forma basis to give effect to the respective transfers of assets), and if the U.S. Borrower determines in good faith that the result described above in this proviso would occur, then in such case within the sixty-day period described above the U.S.
Borrower shall cause such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries (which will not continue to constitute Immaterial Subsidiaries) to become Subsidiary Guarantors and to comply with the provisions of this

  

 79 








 
Section 7.12(a) as if the respective transferee were a newly created, established or acquired Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary. 

(b) If, on the date of delivery by the U.S. Borrower of each of the financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Sections
7.1(a) or (b), as applicable, any of the Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries of the U.S. Borrower that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor at such time would, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter or fiscal year for which such financial
statements are required to be delivered, qualify as a Material Subsidiary, then the U.S. Borrower will, within 10 Business Days notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within sixty days after the
date of delivery (or required date of delivery, if earlier) of the respective financial statements, cause each Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower (other than such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries as will not constitute Material
Subsidiaries after the taking of the actions required by this Section 7.12(b)) to take all actions required for such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary to become a party to the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement in accordance with the terms of
the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement and take all action in connection therewith as would otherwise have been required to be taken pursuant to Section 5.1 if such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary had been a Subsidiary Guarantor on the
Closing Date; provided that if the U.S. Borrower determines in good faith (before the respective Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary has complied with the requirements of this Section 7.12(b)), that such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary
will not remain a Material Subsidiary for more than sixty days after the date of delivery (or required date of delivery, if earlier) of the respective financial statements, because of contemplated transfers of assets permitted under
Section 8.2 by such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary (with the “Immaterial Subsidiary” tests being recalculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such transfers of assets), then so long as the U.S. Borrower notifies
the Administrative Agent thereof within the sixty day period referenced above, such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary shall not be required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor (unless the respective transfer of assets does not occur within such sixty
day period or unless and until it is subsequently required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.12(b)); provided, further that if the preceding proviso is applicable, the U.S. Borrower shall
determine in good faith whether any of the transfers of assets contemplated by the preceding proviso would result in one or more other Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries of the U.S. Borrower which are not Subsidiary Guarantors and which previously
constituted Immaterial Subsidiaries no longer constituting same (with determinations to be made in good faith on a pro forma basis to give effect to the respective transfers of assets), and if the U.S. Borrower determines in good faith that the
result described above in this proviso would occur, then in such case within the sixty-day period described above the U.S. Borrower shall cause such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries (which will not continue to constitute Immaterial Subsidiaries)
to become Subsidiary Guarantors and to comply with the provisions of this Section 7.12(b) as if the respective transferee were a Material Subsidiary on the last day of the respective fiscal quarter or fiscal year for which financial
statements are acquired to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(a) or (b), as applicable. 
 SECTION 7.13
Maintenance of Company Separateness. Each Borrower will, and the U.S. Borrower will cause each of its Material Subsidiaries to, satisfy in all material respects customary Company formalities, including the holding of regular board of
directors’ and 
  

 80 








 
shareholders’ meetings or action by directors or shareholders without a meeting and the maintenance of Company records. In addition, neither the U.S. Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries
shall take any action, or conduct its affairs in a manner, which is likely to result in the Company existence of any Borrower, any other Credit Party or any Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries being ignored, or in the assets and liabilities of the U.S.
Borrower or any other Credit Party being substantively consolidated with those of any other such Person or any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary in a bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency proceeding.

Obligations at the time outstanding, and all other amounts owed to the Lenders and to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all L/C Obligations, whether or not the
beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented or shall be entitled to present the documents required thereunder) and all other Obligations, to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall immediately become
due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by each Credit Party, anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, and terminate the
Revolving Credit Facility and any right of the Borrowers to request borrowings or Letters of Credit thereunder; provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 9.1(e), the Credit Facility shall be

 SECTION 9.3 Rights and
Remedies Cumulative; Non-Waiver; etc. The enumeration of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders set forth in this Agreement is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise by the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies, all of which shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or that may now
or hereafter exist at law or in equity or by suit or otherwise. No delay or failure to take action on the part of the 

 

 95 








 
Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default. No course of dealing between the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
or their respective agents or employees shall be effective to change, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default. 

SECTION 9.4 Crediting of Payments and Proceeds. In the event that the Obligations have been accelerated pursuant to
Section 9.2 or the Administrative Agent or any Lender has exercised any remedy set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, all payments received by the Lenders upon the Obligations and all net proceeds from the enforcement of
the Obligations shall be applied: 
 First, to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting fees,
indemnities, expenses and other amounts (other than principal and interest), including reasonable attorney fees, payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, the Issuing Lender in its capacity as such and the Swingline Lender in its
capacity as such (ratably among the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause First payable to them); 

Second, to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than
principal and interest) payable to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, including reasonable attorney fees (ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them); 

Third, to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and
Reimbursement Obligations (ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them); 

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, Reimbursement
Obligations and Specified Hedge Obligations (including any termination payments and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) (ratably among the Lenders and the counterparties to the Specified Hedge Obligations in proportion to the respective amounts
described in this clause Fourth held by them); 
 Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Issuing Lender, to cash collateralize any L/C Obligations then outstanding; and 
 Last, the balance, if any, after all
of the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrowers or as otherwise required by Applicable Law. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations arising under Specified Hedge Agreements shall be excluded from the application described
above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Guaranteed Creditor that is a counterparty to such Specified Hedge
Agreements. Each such Guaranteed Creditor that is not a 
  

 96 








 
party to the Agreement but that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article X hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto. 

SECTION 9.5 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. During any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C 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 Borrowers) 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 the Loans, L/C
Obligations and all other Obligations arising under the Loan Documents 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 (including any
claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections
3.3, 4.3 and 11.3) 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 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, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the 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 the Administrative
Agent under Sections 3.3, 4.3 and 11.3. 
 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. 
 ARTICLE X

Wells Fargo to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are

  

 97 








 
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely
for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, and neither the U.S. Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 

SECTION 10.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in
its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise
requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and
generally engage in any kind of business with the U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 

SECTION 10.3 Exculpatory Provisions. 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, the Administrative Agent: 
 (a)
shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; 

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for
herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary
to any Loan Document or Applicable Law; and

Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the U.S. Borrower or any of its 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 liable for any action taken or not taken by
it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances
as provided in Section 11.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not
to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers, a Lender or the Issuing Lender. 
  


 98 








 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, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than (A) to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent and (B) with respect to any condition set forth in Article V, the satisfaction of which requires that an item be satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, to confirm whether such item is satisfactory to it. 
 SECTION 10.4 Reliance by the 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) believed by it to be genuine 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 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 the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that
by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

SECTION 10.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their
respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facilities as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 10.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. 

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the U.S. Borrower and,
except as may be required by Applicable Law, such resignation shall be effective as of a date no earlier than 30 days following the delivery of such notice. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right,
with the consent of the U.S. Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that the U.S. Borrower’s consent shall not be 

 

 99 








 
required if an Event of Default then exists) to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United
States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent
may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, and with the consent of the U.S. Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that the U.S. Borrower’s consent shall not be required if an Event of
Default then exists), appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the U.S. Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such
appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
(except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a
successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Lender directly,
until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and
become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the U.S. Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the
U.S. Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of
such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 

(b) Any resignation by Wells Fargo as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Issuing
Lender and Swingline Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender, (b) the retiring Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor Issuing
Lender shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the
retiring Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit. 
 SECTION 10.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and
Other Lenders. Each Lender and the Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on

  

 100 








 
such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it
will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions
in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 

SECTION 10.8 No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the syndication agents, documentation
agents, co-agents, book manager, lead manager, arranger, lead arranger or co-arranger listed on the cover page or signature pages hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents,
except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Lender hereunder. 
 SECTION 10.9
Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any counterparty to any Specified Hedge Agreement that was a Lender or an Affiliate
of any Lender at the time such agreement was executed) to release any Subsidiary Guarantor (whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Specified Hedge Obligations or contingent indemnification obligations not then due) from
its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement and any other Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder or as otherwise permitted by the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement. Upon
request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement pursuant to this
Section. 
 SECTION 10.10 Specified Hedge Agreements. No Lender or Affiliate thereof party to a Specified Hedge Agreement
that obtains the benefits of Section 9.4, Article XII or any other Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document other
than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.

 105

hereunder, including all such out of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. 

(b) Indemnification by the U.S. Borrower. The U.S. Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof),
the Joint Lead Arrangers, each Lender and the Issuing Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, and shall pay or
reimburse any such Indemnitee for, any and all losses, claims (including, without limitation, any Environmental Claims or civil penalties or fines assessed by OFAC), damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the U.S. Borrower or any other Credit Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the
execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument executed or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of
Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated
by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to any Credit Party or any Subsidiary, (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, or (v) any claim (including, without
limitation, any Environmental Claims or civil penalties or fines assessed by OFAC), investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Lender is a party thereto) and the prosecution and defense thereof,
arising out of or in any way connected with the Loans, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation,
reasonable attorneys and consultant’s fees, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. 

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the U.S. Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required
under clause (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing (and without limiting the U.S.
Borrower’s obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related

  

 106 








 
expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such, or against
any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause (c) are subject to
the provisions of Section 4.7. 
 (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted
by Applicable Law, each of the Borrowers and each other Credit Party shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or
actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument executed or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan
or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in clause (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through
telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after demand therefor. 

SECTION 11.4 Right of Set Off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the Issuing Lender, the
Swingline Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the
U.S. Borrower or any other Credit Party against any and all of the obligations of the U.S. Borrower or such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline
Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the U.S. Borrower or such Credit Party may be
contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, the Issuing
Lender, the Swingline Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or their respective
Affiliates may have. Each Lender, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender agrees to notify the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall
not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 
 SECTION 11.5 Governing Law; Jurisdiction, Etc. 

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, unless expressly set forth therein, shall be governed by, construed
and enforced in accordance with, the 
  

 107 








 
law of the State of New York (including Section 5-1401 and Section 5-1402 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York), without reference to the conflicts or choice of law
principles thereof. 
 (b) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself
and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any
thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in
respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state court or, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such
action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Borrower or any other Credit Party or its properties in the courts of any
jurisdiction. 
 (c) Waiver of Venue. Each Borrower and each other Credit Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives,
to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in
paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

 (d) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for
notices in Section 11.1. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.

(a) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO
(A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON 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 BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 

 

 108 








 SECTION 11.7 Reversal of Payments. To the extent any Credit Party makes a payment or
payments to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders which payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or
any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment repaid, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and
effect as if such payment had not been received by the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 11.8 Injunctive Relief; Punitive
Damages. 
 (a) Each Borrower recognizes that, in the event such Borrower fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its
obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Lenders. Therefore, each Borrower agrees that the Lenders, at the Lenders’ option, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent
injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent, the Lenders
and each Borrower (on behalf of itself and the other Credit Parties) hereby agree that no such Person shall have a remedy of punitive or exemplary damages against any other party to a Loan Document and each such Person hereby waives any right or
claim to punitive or exemplary damages that they may now have or may arise in the future in connection with any Dispute, whether such Dispute is resolved through arbitration or judicially. 

SECTION 11.9 Successors and Assigns; Participations. 

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. 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, except that no Borrower nor any other Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way
of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (f) of this Section (and any other
attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). 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, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to
one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be
subject to the following conditions: 
  

 109 








 (i) Minimum Amounts. 

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment
and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and 

(B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit
Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Revolving Credit Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment
(determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less
than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the U.S. Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that
the U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent five (5) Business Days after the date written notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by
the U.S. Borrower prior to such fifth (5th) Business Day; 
 (ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial
assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Revolving Credit Commitment assigned; 

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by
paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition: 
 (A) the consent of the U.S. Borrower (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;
provided, that the U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof; 

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required
for assignments in respect of the Facility if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and 

(C) the consents of the Current Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under 
  


 110 








 
one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding) or for any assignment in respect of the Facility. 

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment (provided, that only one such fee will be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more Approved Funds by a
Lender), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to the U.S. Borrower or any of the U.S.
Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries. 
 (vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment
shall be made to a natural person. 
 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of
this Section, from and after the Closing Date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.8, 4.9,
4.10, 4.12 and 11.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the Closing Date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with
this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section. 

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its
offices in Charlotte, North Carolina, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption and each agreement executed pursuant to Section 4.14 delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Revolving Credit Commitment of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the U.S. Borrower and any Lender (but only to the extent of entries in the Register that are applicable to such Lender), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, the U.S. Borrower, any of the U.S. Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or those 

 

 111 








 
certain competitors of the U.S. Borrower set forth in that certain letter agreement delivered to the Administrative Agent by the U.S. Borrower on or prior to the Closing Date (which letter
agreement shall be made available to the Lenders upon request therefor) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving
Credit Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender, Swingline Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement. 
 Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall
provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not,
without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver or modification described in Section 11.2 that directly affects such Participant and could not be affected by a vote of the Required Lenders. Subject
to paragraph (e) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.8, 4.9, 4.10 and 4.12 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its
interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.3 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees
to be subject to Section 4.6 as though it were a Lender. 
 (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.10 and 4.12 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of
the participation to such Participant is made with the U.S. Borrower’s prior written consent. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.12 unless the U.S. Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such
Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 4.12(e) as though it were a Lender. 

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under
this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 SECTION 11.10
Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its
and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any rating agency, or regulatory or similar authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any
self-regulatory authority, 
  

 112 








 
such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other
party hereto, (e) in connection with (but only to the extent determined by the applicable party to be necessary or desirable to permit or facilitate) the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document (or any
Specified Hedge Agreement) or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or any Hedge Agreement with a Lender or the Administrative Agent) or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to
an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, Participant
or proposed Participant, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers and their obligations, (g) with the consent of the U.S. Borrower, (h) to Gold
Sheets and other similar bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information set forth in the Loan Documents and customarily found in such publications, (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other
than the Borrowers or (j) to governmental regulatory authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s regulatory
compliance policy if the Administrative Agent or such Lender deems necessary for the mitigation of claims by those authorities against the Administrative Agent or such Lender or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. For purposes of this Section,
“Information” means all information received from any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is
available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof; provided that, in the case of information received from a Credit Party or
any Subsidiary thereof after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to
have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 

SECTION 11.11 Performance of Duties. Each of the Credit Party’s obligations under this Agreement and each of the other Loan
Documents shall be performed by such Credit Party at its sole cost and expense. 
 SECTION 11.12 All Powers Coupled with
Interest. All powers of attorney and other authorizations granted to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and any Persons designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid or unsatisfied, any of the Revolving Credit Commitments remain in effect or the Credit Facility has not been terminated.

  

 113 








 SECTION 11.13 Survival. 

(a) All representations and warranties set forth in Article VI and all representations and warranties contained in any
certificate, or any of the Loan Documents (including, but not limited to, any such representation or warranty made in or in connection with any amendment thereto) shall constitute representations and warranties made under this Agreement. All
representations and warranties made under this Agreement shall be made or deemed to be made at and as of the Closing Date (except those that are expressly made as of a specific date), shall survive the Closing Date and shall not be waived by the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, any investigation made by or on behalf of the Lenders or any borrowing hereunder. 

(b) Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the indemnities to which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are entitled
under the provisions of this Article XI and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against events arising
after such termination as well as before. 
 SECTION 11.14 Titles and Captions. Titles and captions of Articles, Sections
and subsections in, and the table of contents of, this Agreement are for convenience only, and neither limit nor amplify the provisions of this Agreement. 

SECTION 11.15 Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions hereof or thereof or
affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 11.16 Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. 
 (a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may
be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page of
this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterparty hereof. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative
Agent or limitations on Participations, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.
In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against
nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof. Except as provided in Section 5.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the
Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. 
  

 114 








 (b) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,”
“signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect,
validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and
National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 

SECTION 11.17 Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in effect from the Closing Date through and including the date upon
which all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not then due) arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full and the Revolving Credit Commitment has
been terminated (such date, the “Termination Date”); provided, that Article XII and each of the defined terms set forth therein (collectively, the “Article XII Terms”) shall remain in effect after the
Termination Date until all Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement) shall have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full (except that the U.S. Borrower may, by written notice given on the
Termination Date to the holder of any Guaranteed Obligations, elect to terminate the Article XII Terms as to such Guaranteed Obligations effective upon having indefeasibly and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full all such Guaranteed Obligations
then due and payable together with any such Guaranteed Obligations that become due and payable upon the exercise by such holder of termination or similar rights under the applicable Specified Hedge Agreement in connection with the termination of
this Agreement or the Article XII Terms). No termination of this Agreement shall affect the rights and obligations of the parties hereto arising prior to such termination or in respect of any provision of this Agreement which survives such
termination. 
 SECTION 11.18 USA Patriot Act. The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers
that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers and Guarantors, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and Guarantor and other information
that will allow such Lender to identify such Borrower or Guarantor in accordance with the Act. 
 SECTION 11.19 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 Borrower in respect of any such sum due
from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any 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 or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum
adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, 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 
  

 115 








 
originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to
indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency, the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law). 

SECTION 11.20 Independent Effect. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each covenant contained in Articles VII, VIII,
IX or X hereof shall be given independent effect. Accordingly, the Borrowers shall not engage in any transaction or other act otherwise permitted under any covenant contained in Articles VII, VIII, IX or X, before
or after giving effect to such transaction or act, if the Borrowers shall or would be in breach of any other covenant contained in Articles VII, VIII, IX or X. 

SECTION 11.21 Special Provisions Regarding Dutch Act on the Financial Supervision. 

(a) Each Lender makes the following declarations and representations to the European Borrower: (i) it is, on the date specified for
such Lender pursuant to following clause (b), (x) a PMP or (y) exempted because it forms a restricted circle (besloten kring) with the European Borrower and (ii) it has made its own credit assessment of the European Borrower.

 (b) Each declaration and representation set out in paragraph (a) above is made by each aforementioned Lender on the date
of this Agreement (if a party hereto on such date) and by any future Lender on the date of its becoming a Lender; provided that the declaration and representation set out in paragraph (a) above shall not be required to be made by any
Lender if, and to the extent that, on the date it becomes a Lender it is not a requirement under Dutch law that such Lender needs to be either (x) qualified as a PMP or (y) exempted because it forms a restricted circle (besloten
kring) with the European Borrower. 
 ARTICLE XII 

U.S. BORROWER’S GUARANTY 

SECTION 12.1 The U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty. In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit
under this Agreement and to induce the Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates to enter into Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements, and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by the U.S. Borrower from
the proceeds of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit, the U.S. Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity,
acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors. If any or all of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors becomes due and payable hereunder, the U.S.
Borrower unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, on demand, together with any and all expenses which may be incurred by the Guaranteed Creditors in collecting any of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations.
This U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. This U.S. Borrower’s 
  

 116 








 
Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. If any claim is
ever made upon any Guaranteed Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by
reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant
(including the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party), then and in such event the U.S. Borrower agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon the U.S.
Borrower, notwithstanding any revocation of this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party, and the U.S. Borrower shall
be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee. Each reference to “hereunder” or “hereof” in
this Article XII shall refer exclusively to this Article XII. 
 SECTION 12.2 Bankruptcy. Additionally, the
U.S. Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees the payment of any and all of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors whether or not due or payable by the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other
U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 9.1(e) with respect to such Person, and unconditionally promises to pay, upon such occurrence, such indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, or
order, on demand. 
 SECTION 12.3 Nature of Liability. The liability of the U.S. Borrower hereunder is exclusive and
independent of any security for or other guaranty of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations whether executed by the U.S. Borrower, any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of the U.S. Borrower hereunder is not affected or
impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or any other party (other than any direction from any Guaranteed Creditor pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement or any other applicable agreement), or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, or (c) any
payment on or in respect of any such other guaranty or undertaking (except to the extent that the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations are irrevocably reduced thereby), or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in
personnel by the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or (e) any payment made to the Guaranteed Creditors on the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations which any such Guaranteed Creditor repays to
the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and the U.S. Borrower waives any right to
the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, or (f) any action or inaction of the type described in Section 12.5, or (g) the lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document
or any other instrument relating thereto. 
  

 117 








 SECTION 12.4 Independent Obligation. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability
of all or any part of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations or of any security therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense to this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty, and this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and
unconditional notwithstanding the occurrence of any event or the existence of any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor except payment in full in cash of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed
Obligations. The obligations of the U.S. Borrower hereunder are independent of the obligations of the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, and a separate action
or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the U.S. Borrower whether or not action is brought against the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party and whether or
not the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party be joined in any such action or actions. The U.S. Borrower waives, to the full extent permitted by law, the benefit of
any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or other circumstance that operates to toll any statute
of limitations as to the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to the U.S. Borrower. 

SECTION 12.5 Authorization. The U.S. Borrower, solely in its capacity as guarantor under this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty,
authorizes the Guaranteed Creditors without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability solely under this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty, from time to
time to: 
 (a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew,
increase, accelerate or alter, any of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this
U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty made shall apply to the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed, increased or altered; 

(b) take and hold security for the payment of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, impair, surrender,
realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those
hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset there against; 
 (c) exercise or
refrain from exercising any rights against the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting; 

(d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower
Guaranteed Party or other obligors; 
  

 118 








 (e) settle or compromise any of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, any security
therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of the
European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party to their respective creditors other than the Guaranteed Creditors; 

(f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of the European Borrower, the Canadian
Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party to the Guaranteed Creditors regardless of what liability or liabilities of the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party remain unpaid; 

(g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Interest Rate
Protection Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein or therein by any Credit Party or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement, any other
Loan Document, any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement or any of such other instruments or agreements with any Credit Party or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party; and/or 

(h) take any other action that would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of
the U.S. Borrower from its liabilities under this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty. 
 SECTION 12.6 Reliance. It is not
necessary for the Guaranteed Creditors to inquire into the capacity or powers of the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on
its or their behalf, and any U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder. 

SECTION 12.7 Subordination. Any of the indebtedness of the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower
Guaranteed Party now or hereafter owing to the U.S. Borrower is hereby subordinated to the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations of the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or such other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party owing to the Guaranteed
Creditors; and if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness of the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or such other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party to the U.S. Borrower shall be
collected, enforced and received by the U.S. Borrower for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors on account of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations of the
European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or such other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party to the Guaranteed Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of the U.S. Borrower under the other provisions of this U.S.
Borrower’s Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by the U.S. Borrower of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any of the indebtedness of the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party to the U.S.
Borrower, the U.S. Borrower shall mark such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this 

 

 119 








 
subordination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the U.S. Borrower hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at
any time otherwise have as a result of this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.

 SECTION 12.8 Waiver. (a) The U.S. Borrower, solely in its capacity as guarantor under this U.S. Borrower’s
Guaranty, waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed
Party, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party or
(iii) pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Party’s power whatsoever. The U.S. Borrower, solely in its capacity as guarantor under this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty, waives any defense to the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations based
on or arising out of any defense of the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment in full in cash of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, based
on or arising out of the disability of the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations or any part
thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party, other than payment in full in cash of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations. The
Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially
reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Guaranteed Creditors may have against the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or any other
party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of the U.S. Borrower hereunder except to the extent the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash. The U.S. Borrower waives any defense to the
U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations arising out of any such election by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the U.S. Borrower
against the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or any other party or any security. 

(b) The U.S. Borrower, solely in its capacity as guarantor under this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty, waives all presentments, demands for
performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of
new or additional U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations. The U.S. Borrower, solely in its capacity as guarantor under this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty, assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the European
Borrower’s, the Canadian Borrower’s and each other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations and the

2. I have reviewed the financial statements of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries dated as of
            and for the             period[s] then ended and such statements fairly present in all material respects the
financial condition of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the dates indicated and the results of their operations and cash flows for the period[s] indicated. 

3. I have reviewed the terms of the Credit Agreement, and the related Loan Documents and have made, or caused to be made under my
supervision, a review in reasonable detail of the transactions and the condition of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries during the accounting period covered by the financial statements referred to in Paragraph 2 above. Such review has not
disclosed the existence during or at the end of such accounting period of any condition or event that constitutes a Default or an Event of Default, nor do I have any knowledge of the existence of any such condition or event as at the date of this
certificate [except, if such condition or event existed or exists, describe the nature and period of existence thereof and what action the U.S. Borrower has taken, is taking and proposes to take with respect thereto]. 

4. To the best of my knowledge, the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with the financial covenants contained in
Sections 8.7 and 8.8 of the Credit Agreement as shown on such Schedule 1 and the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with the other covenants and restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other benefits accruing to each Guarantor, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and hereby covenants and agrees with each other Guarantor and the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors as follows: 
 1. GUARANTY. (a) Each Guarantor, jointly and
severally, irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees as a primary obligor and not merely as surety: 

(i) to the Lender Creditors the full and prompt payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by required prepayment,
declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise) of (x) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes issued by, and the Loans made to, each Borrower under the Credit Agreement, and all L/C Obligations with respect to Letters of

insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding at the rate provided for in the Credit Agreement, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in any such proceeding)), whether now existing or hereafter incurred under, arising out of or in
connection with each such Loan Document and the due performance and compliance by each Borrower with all of the terms, conditions, covenants and agreements contained in all such Loan Documents (all such principal, premium, interest, liabilities,
indebtedness and obligations under this clause (i), except to the extent consisting of obligations or liabilities with respect to Guaranteed Hedging Agreements, being herein collectively called the “Loan Document Obligations”); and

 (ii) to each Other Creditor the full and prompt payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by required
prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise) of all obligations (including, without limitation, obligations which, but for the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, would become due), liabilities and
indebtedness (including, without limitation, any interest accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding at the rate provided for in the respective Guaranteed Hedging Agreements, whether or not such
interest is an allowed claim in any such proceeding) owing by each Borrower and each other Guaranteed Party under each Guaranteed Hedging Agreement to which it is a party, whether now in existence or hereafter arising, and the due performance and
compliance by each Borrower and each such other Guaranteed Party with all of the terms, conditions, covenants and agreements contained therein (all such obligations, liabilities and 

 

 2 








 
indebtedness being herein collectively called the “Other Obligations”, and together with the Loan Document Obligations are herein collectively called the “Guaranteed
Obligations”). 
 As used herein, the term “Guaranteed Party” shall mean each Borrower and each Guarantor party to any
Guaranteed Hedging Agreement. Each Guarantor understands, agrees and confirms that the Guaranteed Creditors may enforce this Guaranty up to the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations against such Guarantor without proceeding against any other
Guarantor, any Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party, or against any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, or under any other guaranty covering all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty is a guaranty of prompt payment and
performance and not of collection. 
 (b) Additionally, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, unconditionally, absolutely and
irrevocably, guarantees the payment of any and all Guaranteed Obligations whether or not due or payable by each Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party upon the occurrence in respect of such Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party of any Event of
Default specified in Section 9.1(e) of the Credit Agreement, and unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably, jointly and severally, promises to pay such Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand.

 2. LIABILITY OF GUARANTORS ABSOLUTE. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is primary, absolute, joint and
several, and unconditional and is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the indebtedness of any Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party whether executed by such Guarantor, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or by
any other party, and the liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including, without limitation: (a) any direction as to application of payment by any Borrower, any
other Guaranteed Party or any other party, (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a Guarantor or of any other party as to the Guaranteed Obligations, (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such
other guaranty or undertaking, (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by any Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party, (e) the failure of the Guarantor to receive any benefit from or as a result of its
execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty, (f) any payment made to any Guaranteed Creditor on the indebtedness which any Guaranteed Creditor repays any Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each Guarantor waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, (g) any action or inaction by the
Guaranteed Creditors as contemplated in Section 5 hereof or (h) any invalidity, rescission, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any security therefor. 

3. OBLIGATIONS OF GUARANTORS INDEPENDENT. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any
other Guarantor, any other guarantor, any Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other

  

 3 








 
Guarantor, any other guarantor, any Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party and whether or not any other Guarantor, any other guarantor, any Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party be joined in any
such action or actions. Each Guarantor waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) the benefits of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by any Borrower or any other
Guaranteed Party or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to any Borrower or such other Guaranteed Party shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each Guarantor. 

4. WAIVERS BY GUARANTORS. (a) Each Guarantor hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) notice of
acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of the existence, creation or incurrence of any new or additional liability to which it may apply, and waives promptness, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, demand for performance, protest, notice of
dishonor or nonpayment of any such liabilities, suit or taking of other action by the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor against, and any other notice to, any party liable thereon (including such Guarantor, any other Guarantor,
any other guarantor, any Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party) and each Guarantor further hereby waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice or proof of reliance by any
Guaranteed Creditor upon this Guaranty, and the Guaranteed Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended, modified, supplemented or waived, in reliance upon this Guaranty.

 (b) Each Guarantor waives any right to require the Guaranteed Creditors to: 

(i) proceed against any Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any other party; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other party; or (iii) pursue any
other remedy in the Guaranteed Creditors’ power whatsoever. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party, any other
Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other party other than payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of any Borrower,
any other Guaranteed Party, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the
liability of any Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party other than payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 (c)
Each Guarantor has knowledge and assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Borrower’s, each other Guaranteed Party’s and each other Guarantor’s financial condition, affairs and assets, and of all other
circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and has adequate means to obtain from each Borrower, each other
Guaranteed Party and each other Guarantor on an ongoing basis 
  

 4 








 
information relating thereto and each Borrower’s, each other Guaranteed Party’s and each other Guarantor’s ability to pay and perform its respective Guaranteed Obligations, and
agrees to assume the responsibility for keeping, and to keep, so informed for so long as this Guaranty is in effect. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (x) the Guaranteed Creditors shall have no obligation to investigate the financial
condition or affairs of any Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party or any other Guarantor for the benefit of such Guarantor nor to advise such Guarantor of any fact respecting, or any change in, the financial condition, assets or affairs of any
Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party or any other Guarantor that might become known to any Guaranteed Creditor at any time, whether or not such Guaranteed Creditor knows or believes or has reason to know or believe that any such fact or change is
unknown to such Guarantor, or might (or does) increase the risk of such Guarantor as guarantor hereunder, or might (or would) affect the willingness of such Guarantor to continue as a guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder and
(y) the Guaranteed Creditors shall have no duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to them regarding any of the aforementioned circumstances or risks. 

(d) Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that no Guaranteed Creditor nor any other Person shall be under any obligation
(a) to marshal any assets in favor of such Guarantor or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of any Guaranteed Party under the Loan Documents or the obligation of such Guarantor hereunder or (b) to pursue any other remedy that such
Guarantor may or may not be able to pursue itself any right to which such Guarantor hereby waives. 
 (e) Each Guarantor
warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth in Section 3 and in this Section 4 is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law
or public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. 
 5. RIGHTS OF
GUARANTEED CREDITORS. Subject to Section 4, any Guaranteed Creditor may (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) at any time and from time to time without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, without
incurring responsibility to such Guarantor, without impairing or releasing the obligations or liabilities of such Guarantor hereunder, upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in part: 

(a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change, increase or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase,
accelerate or alter, any of the Guaranteed Obligations (including, without limitation, any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon or the principal amount thereof), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly
in respect thereof, and the guaranty herein made shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, increased, accelerated, renewed or altered; 

(b) take and hold security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, surrender, impair, realize upon or
otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property or other collateral by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of

Documents or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any of the Guaranteed Hedging Agreements, the Loan Documents or any of such other
instruments or agreements; 
 (h) act or fail to act in any manner which may deprive such Guarantor of its right to subrogation
against any Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party to recover full indemnity for any payments made pursuant to this Guaranty; and/or 

(i) take any other action or omit to take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to
a legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor from its liabilities under this Guaranty (including, without limitation, any action or omission whatsoever that might otherwise vary the risk of such Guarantor or constitute a legal or equitable
defense to or discharge of the liabilities of a guarantor or surety or that might otherwise limit recourse against such Guarantor). 
 To the
fullest extent permitted under applicable law, no invalidity, illegality, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating to the Guaranteed
Obligations or of any security or guarantee therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense to this Guaranty, and this Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and unconditional notwithstanding the occurrence of any event or the existence of any other
circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor except payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations.

 6. CONTINUING GUARANTY. This Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to
which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. No failure or delay on the part of any Guaranteed Creditor in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein
expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Guaranteed Creditor would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other further notice or demand
in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Guaranteed Creditor to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. It is not necessary for any Guaranteed Creditor to inquire into the
capacity or powers of any Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its or their behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such
powers shall be guaranteed hereunder. 
 7. SUBROGATION. Each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors that
it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Guaranteed Obligations have been
irrevocably paid in full in cash; provided, that if any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the irrevocable payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations, such amount
shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and shall forthwith be paid to the Guaranteed Creditors to be credited and applied upon the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the
Loan Documents. 
 8. GUARANTY ENFORCEABLE BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
elsewhere in this Guaranty, the Guaranteed Creditors agree (by their acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) that this Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders
(or, after the date on which all Loan Document Obligations have been paid in full, the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Other Obligations) and that no other Guaranteed Creditor shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or
to enforce this Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent or, after all the Loan Document Obligations have been paid in full, by the holders of at least a majority of the
outstanding Other Obligations, as the case may be, for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors upon the terms of this Guaranty. The Guaranteed Creditors further agree that this Guaranty may not be enforced against any director, officer, employee,
partner, member or stockholder of any Guarantor (except to the extent such partner, member or stockholder is also a Guarantor hereunder). It is understood and agreed that the agreement in this Section 8 is among and solely for the benefit of
the Guaranteed Creditors and that, if the Required Lenders (or, after the date on which all Loan Document Obligations have been paid in full, the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Other Obligations) so agree (without

  

 7 








 
requiring the consent of any Guarantor), this Guaranty may be directly enforced by any Guaranteed Creditor. 

9. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF GUARANTORS. In order to induce the Lenders to make Loans to the Borrowers, and
issue Letters of Credit for the account of the U.S. Borrower, in each case, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and in order to induce the Other Creditors to execute, deliver and perform the Guaranteed Hedging Agreements to which they are a party,
each Guarantor represents and warrants as to itself (and the Loan Documents to which it is a party), that all (i) representations and warranties relating to it (and the Loan Documents to which it is a party) in the Credit Agreement are true and
correct and (ii) each of the Subsidiaries of the U.S. Borrower listed on Annex I hereto is a Subsidiary which, on the Closing Date (as determined by the U.S. Borrower in good faith on such date on a pro forma basis), is an Immaterial
Subsidiary. 
 10. EXPENSES. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses of the Administrative Agent and each other Guaranteed Creditor in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty and the protection of the Guaranteed Creditors’ rights hereunder and any amendment, waiver or consent relating
hereto (including, in each case, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including in-house counsel) employed by the Administrative Agent and each other Guaranteed Creditor). 

11. BENEFIT AND BINDING EFFECT. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure
to the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and their successors and permitted assigns. 
 12. AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS.
Neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except with the written consent of each Guarantor directly affected thereby (it being understood that the addition, termination or release of any
Guarantor hereunder shall not constitute a change, waiver, discharge or termination affecting any Guarantor other than the Guarantor so added, terminated or released) and with the written consent of either (x) unless released with respect to
one or more Guarantors pursuant to Section 17, the Required Lenders (or, to the extent required by Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement, with the written consent of each Lender) at all times prior to the time at which all Loan Document
Obligations have been paid in full or or (y) unless the applicable Guarantor has elected in writing to terminate its obligations hereunder on the Termination Date in the manner and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions prescribed by
Section 11.17 of the Credit Agreement (which terms are incorporated herein mutatis mutandis), the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Other Obligations as to which this Guaranty remains in effect at all times after the time
at which all Loan Document Obligations have been paid in full; provided, that any change, waiver, modification or variance affecting the rights and benefits of a single Class (as defined below) of Guaranteed Creditors (and not all Guaranteed
Creditors in a like or similar manner) shall also require the written consent of the Requisite Creditors (as defined below) of such Class of Guaranteed Creditors. For the purpose of this Guaranty, the term “Class” shall mean each
class of Guaranteed Creditors, i.e., whether (x) the Lender Creditors as 
  

 8 








 
holders of the Loan Document Obligations or (y) the Other Creditors as the holders of the Other Obligations. For the purpose of this Guaranty, the term “Requisite Creditors”
of any Class shall mean (x) with respect to the Loan Document Obligations, the Required Lenders (or, to the extent required by Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement, each Lender) and (y) with respect to the Other Obligations, the
holders of at least a majority of all Other Obligations outstanding from time to time under the Guaranteed Hedging Agreements. 

13. SET OFF. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law (including, without limitation,
Section 151 of the New York Debtor and Creditor Law) and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (such term to mean and include any “Event of Default”
as defined in the Credit Agreement and any payment default under any Guaranteed Hedging Agreement continuing after any applicable grace period), each Guaranteed Creditor is hereby authorized, at any time or from time to time, without notice to any
Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Guaranteed Creditor to or for
the credit or the account of such Guarantor, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Guarantor to such Guaranteed Creditor under this Guaranty, irrespective of whether or not such Guaranteed Creditor shall have made any
demand hereunder and although said obligations, liabilities, deposits or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Guaranteed Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits hereof) acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of
this Section 13 are subject to the sharing provisions set forth in Section 4.6 of the Credit Agreement. 
 14.
NOTICE. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices, requests, demands or other communications to or upon the respective parties hereto shall be sent or delivered by mail, telegraph, telex, telecopy, cable or courier service and all
such notices and communications shall, when mailed, telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, or cabled or sent by courier, be effective when deposited in the mails, delivered to the telegraph company, cable company or overnight courier, as the case may be,
or sent by telex or telecopier, except that notices and communications to the Administrative Agent or any Guarantor shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent or such Guarantor, as the case may be. All notices and other
communications shall be in writing and addressed to such party at (i) in the case of any Lender Creditor, as provided in the Credit Agreement, (ii) in the case of any Guarantor, at its address set forth opposite its signature page below,
and (iii) in the case of any Other Creditor, at such address as such Other Creditor shall have specified in writing to the Guarantors; or in any case at such other address as any of the Persons listed above may hereafter notify the others in
writing. 
 15. REINSTATEMENT. If any claim is ever made upon any Guaranteed Creditor for repayment or recovery of any
amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having
jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of 
  

 9 








 
any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including, without limitation, each Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party), then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any
such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon such Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any Note, any Guaranteed Hedging Agreement or any other instrument evidencing any liability of
any Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such
payee. 
 16. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION, WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL, ETC. 

(a) Governing Law. This Guaranty, unless expressly set forth therein, shall be governed by, construed and enforced
in accordance with, the law of the State of New York (including Section 5-1401 and Section 5-1402 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York), without reference to the conflicts or choice of law principles thereof. 

(b) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof,
in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect
of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state court or, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Guaranty or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent,
any Lender or the Issuing Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Guaranty or any other Loan Document against any Guarantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

(c) Waiver of Venue. Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
Applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section.
Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

(d) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for
notices in Section 11.1 of the Credit 
  

 10 








 
Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. 

(e) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON
CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON 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 BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

 17. RELEASE OF LIABILITY OF GUARANTOR UPON SALE OR DISSOLUTION. In the event that all (or, with the consent of the
Administrative Agent and solely with respect to an Insignificant Guarantor (as defined below), a portion) of the capital stock or other equity interests of one or more Guarantors is sold or otherwise disposed of (in each case to a Person or Persons
other than the U.S. Borrower and/or one or more Subsidiaries thereof) or liquidated in compliance with the requirements of Section 8.2 of the Credit Agreement (or such sale, other disposition or liquidation has been approved in writing by the
Required Lenders (or all the Lenders if required by Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement)) and the proceeds of such sale, disposition or liquidation are applied in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, to the extent
applicable, then in any such case, such Guarantor shall, upon consummation of such sale or other disposition (except to the extent that such sale or disposition is to the U.S. Borrower and/or one or more Subsidiaries thereof) or liquidation (except
to the extent that the U.S. Borrower shall determine in good faith that the release of such Guarantor from this Guaranty would result in one or more Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries of the U.S. Borrower which are not then Guarantors and which
previously constituted Immaterial Subsidiaries no longer constituting same (with the “Immaterial Subsidiaries” tests being calculated on a pro forma basis at the time of such release)), and upon the written request of the U.S.
Borrower to the Administrative Agent (which written request shall certify in reasonable detail the name of the respective Guarantor or Guarantors to be released and the facts permitting such release), be released from this Guaranty and this Guaranty
shall, as to each such Guarantor or Guarantors, terminate, and have no further force or effect (it being understood and agreed that the sale of one or more Persons that own, directly or indirectly, all of the capital stock or other equity interests
of any Guarantor shall be deemed to be a sale of such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 17). In connection with such release, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a certificate executed by an Authorized Officer of the U.S.
Borrower certifying that the release of the such Guarantor has occurred in compliance with the requirements of this Section 17, then the 

 

 11 








 
Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to such Guarantor or such Guarantor’s designee, at the U.S. Borrower’s and such Guarantor’s sole cost and expense, any document or
instrument which such Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such release. For purposes of this Section 17, an “Insignificant Guarantor” means a Guarantor that, as of the date of such proposed sale, owns assets having a Fair
Market Value of not more than $1,000,000. 
 18. CONTRIBUTION. At any time a payment in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations is made under this Guaranty, the right of contribution of each Guarantor against each other Guarantor shall be determined as provided in the immediately following sentence, with the right of contribution of each Guarantor to be revised
and restated as of each date on which a payment (a “Relevant Payment”) is made on the Guaranteed Obligations under this Guaranty. At any time that a Relevant Payment is made by a Guarantor that results in the aggregate payments made
by such Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment exceeding such Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage (as defined below) of the aggregate payments made by all Guarantors in respect of
the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment (such excess, the “Aggregate Excess Amount”), each such Guarantor shall have a right of contribution against each other Guarantor who has made payments in
respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment in an aggregate amount less than such other Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage of the aggregate payments made to and including the date of the Relevant
Payment by all Guarantors in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations (the aggregate amount of such deficit, the “Aggregate Deficit Amount”) in an amount equal to (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the Aggregate Excess
Amount of such Guarantor and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of all Guarantors multiplied by (y) the Aggregate Deficit Amount of such other Guarantor. A Guarantor’s right of contribution pursuant to the preceding
sentences shall arise at the time of each computation, subject to adjustment to the time of each computation; provided that no Guarantor may take any action to enforce such right until the Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in
full in cash and the Revolving Credit Commitment and all Letters of Credit have been terminated, it being expressly recognized and agreed by all parties hereto that any Guarantor’s right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 18
against any other Guarantor shall be expressly junior and subordinate to such other Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and any other obligations owing under this Guaranty. As used in this
Section 18: (i) each Guarantor’s “Contribution Percentage” shall mean the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the Adjusted Net Worth (as defined below) of such Guarantor by (y) the aggregate Adjusted Net
Worth of all Guarantors; (ii) the “Adjusted Net Worth” of each Guarantor shall mean the greater of (x) the Net Worth (as defined below) of such Guarantor and (y) zero; and (iii) the “Net Worth”
of each Guarantor shall mean the amount by which the fair saleable value of such Guarantor’s assets on the date of any Relevant Payment exceeds its existing debts and other liabilities (including contingent liabilities, but without giving
effect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising under this Guaranty on such date). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Guarantor that is released from this Guaranty pursuant to Section 17 hereof shall thereafter have no
contribution obligations, or rights, pursuant to this Section 18, and at the time of any such release, if the released Guarantor had an Aggregate Excess Amount or an Aggregate Deficit 

 

 12 








 
Amount, same shall be deemed reduced to $0, and the contribution rights and obligations of the remaining Guarantors shall be recalculated on the respective date of release (as otherwise provided
above) based on the payments made hereunder by the remaining Guarantors. All parties hereto recognize and agree that, except for any right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 18, each Guarantor who makes any payment in respect of
the Guaranteed Obligations shall have no right of contribution or subrogation against any other Guarantor in respect of such payment until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash. Each of the Guarantors
recognizes and acknowledges that the rights to contribution arising hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the party entitled to such contribution. In this connection, each Guarantor has the right to waive its contribution right against any
Guarantor to the extent that after giving effect to such waiver such Guarantor would remain solvent, in the determination of the Required Lenders. 

19. LIMITATION ON GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS. Each Guarantor and each Guaranteed Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits of this
Guaranty) hereby confirms that it is its intention that this Guaranty not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act of any similar Federal or state law. To effectuate
the foregoing intention, each Guarantor and each Guaranteed Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) hereby irrevocably agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed by such Guarantor shall be limited to such amount as will,
after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other (contingent or otherwise) liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any rights to contribution pursuant to any agreement providing for an
equitable contribution among such Guarantor and the other Guarantors, result in the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor in respect of such maximum amount not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 

20. COUNTERPARTS. This Guaranty may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each
of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Guaranty by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterparty hereof. 
 21. PAYMENTS; JUDGMENT CURRENCY. 

(a) Payments. All payments made by any Guarantor hereunder will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other
defense and on the same basis as payments are made by the Borrower under Sections 4.4 of the Credit Agreement. 

(b) 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 Guarantor in respect of any such sum due 

 

 13 








 
from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other
than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Guaranty (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative
Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, 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 or any Lender from any Guarantor in the Agreement Currency, such Guarantor agrees, as a separate obligation
and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Guarantor (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law). 

22. ADDITIONAL GUARANTORS. It is understood and agreed that any Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower that is required to execute a
counterpart of this Guaranty after the date hereof pursuant to the Credit Agreement shall become a Guarantor hereunder by (x) executing and delivering a counterpart hereof to the Administrative Agent or executing a joinder agreement and
delivering same to the Administrative Agent, in each case as may be requested by (and in form and substance satisfactory to) the Administrative Agent and (y) taking all actions as specified in this Guaranty as would have been taken by such
Guarantor had it been an original party to this Guaranty, in each case with all documents required above to be delivered to the Administrative Agent with all documents and actions required to be taken above to be taken to the reasonable satisfaction
of the Administrative Agent. 
 23. HEADINGS DESCRIPTIVE. The headings of the several Sections of this Guaranty are
inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Guaranty.

“Agreement”), dated as of May [            ], 2010, made by each of the undersigned (each, a “Party” and, together with any entity that
becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the “Parties”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, together with any successor administrative agent, the
“Administrative Agent”), for the benefit of the Senior Creditors (as defined below). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement referred to
below. 
 W I T N E S S E T H: 

WHEREAS, Owens Corning (the “U.S. Borrower”), OC Canada Finance Inc. (the “Canadian Borrower”), Dutch
OC Coöperatief Invest U.A. (the “European Borrower” and, together with the U.S. Borrower and the Canadian Borrower, the “Borrowers”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the
“Lenders”), and the Administrative Agent have entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of May [            ], 2010, providing for the making of Loans to the
Borrowers and the issuance of, and participation in, Letters of Credit for the account of the U.S. Borrower, all as contemplated therein (with the Lenders, the Issuing Lender, Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers being herein called the
“Lender Creditors”) (as used herein, the term “Credit Agreement” means the Credit Agreement described above in this paragraph, as the same may be amended, restated, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed,
refinanced, replaced, or refunded from time to time); 
 WHEREAS, any Borrower or any Guarantor may at any time and from time to
time enter into one or more Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements with one or more Lenders or any affiliate thereof (each such Lender or affiliate, even if the respective Lender subsequently ceases to be a Lender under the
Credit Agreement for any reason, together with such Lender’s or affiliate’s successors and assigns, if any, collectively, the “Other Creditors”, with each such Interest Rate Protection Agreement and/or Other Hedging
Agreement with an Other Creditor being herein called a “Guaranteed Hedging Agreement”); 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to
the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, each Subsidiary Guarantor has jointly and severally guaranteed to the Senior Creditors the payment when due of all Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement); 

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement that this Agreement be executed and delivered
by the original Parties hereto; 
 WHEREAS, additional Parties may from time to time become parties hereto in order to allow for
certain extensions of credit in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement; and 








 Exhibit I 

Page 2 
  

 WHEREAS, each of the Parties desires to execute this Agreement to satisfy the conditions
described in the immediately preceding paragraphs. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the Parties and the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Creditors) hereby agree as follows: 

1. The Subordinated Indebtedness (as defined in Section 5 hereof) and all payments of principal, interest and all other amounts
thereunder are hereby, and shall continue to be, subject and subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full, in cash, of all Senior Indebtedness to the extent, and in the manner, set forth herein. The foregoing shall apply
notwithstanding the availability of collateral to the Senior Creditors or the holders of Subordinated Indebtedness or the actual date and time of execution, delivery, recordation, filing or perfection of any security interests granted with respect
to the Senior Indebtedness or the Subordinated Indebtedness, or the lien or priority of payment thereof, and in any instance wherein the Senior Indebtedness or any claim for the Senior Indebtedness is subordinated, avoided or disallowed, in whole or
in part, under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable federal, foreign, state or local law. In the event of a proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary, for insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, bankruptcy or other similar
proceeding pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable federal, foreign, state or local law (each, a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”), the Senior Indebtedness shall include all interest accrued on the Senior Indebtedness, in
accordance with and at the rates specified in the Senior Indebtedness, both for periods before and for periods after the commencement of any of such proceedings, even if the claim for such interest is not allowed pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or
other applicable law. 
 2. Each Party (as a lender of any Subordinated Indebtedness) hereby agrees that until all Senior
Indebtedness has been repaid in full in cash and all commitments in respect thereof have been terminated: 
 (a)
Such Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Required Senior Creditors (as defined in Section 5 hereof), which consent may be withheld or conditioned in the Required Senior Creditors’ sole discretion, commence, or join or
participate in, any Enforcement Action (as defined in Section 5 hereof). 
 (b) In the event that
(i) all or any portion of any Senior Indebtedness becomes due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), (ii) any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or any event of default under, and as defined in, any other
Senior Indebtedness (or the documentation governing the same), then exists or would result from such payment on the Subordinated Indebtedness, (iii) such Party receives any payment or prepayment of principal, interest or any other amount, in
whole or in part, of (or with respect to) the Subordinated Indebtedness in violation of the terms of this Agreement or (iv) any distribution, division or application, partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or
otherwise, is made of all or any part of the property, assets or business of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the proceeds thereof, in whatever form, to any creditor or creditors of the U.S. Borrower or

 Exhibit I 

Page 3 
  

 
any of its Subsidiaries or to any holder of indebtedness of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or by reason of any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the U.S. Borrower, any
of its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, or of any receivership or custodianship for the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or of all or substantially all of their respective property, or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings
or assignment for the benefit of creditors or any proceeding by or against the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for any relief under any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency law or laws, federal, foreign, state or local, or any law,
federal, foreign, state or local relating to the relief of debtors, readjustment of indebtedness, reorganization, composition or extension, then, and in any such event, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property
or securities, which shall be payable or deliverable with respect to any or all of the Subordinated Indebtedness or which has been received by any Party shall be held in trust by such Party for the benefit of the Senior Creditors and shall forthwith
be paid or delivered directly to the Senior Creditors for application to the payment of the Senior Indebtedness (after giving effect to the relative priorities of such Senior Indebtedness) to the extent necessary to make payment in full in cash of
all sums due under the Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the Senior Creditors. In any such event, the Senior Creditors may, but shall not be obligated to, demand, claim and collect
any such payment or distribution that would, but for these subordination provisions, be payable or deliverable with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness. In the event of the occurrence of any event referred to in subclauses (i), (ii),
(iii) or (iv) of this clause (b) and until the Senior Indebtedness shall have been fully paid in cash and satisfied and all of the obligations of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the Senior Creditors have been performed
in full, no payment of any kind or character (whether in cash, property, securities or otherwise) shall be made to or accepted by any Party in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, if one
or more of the events referred to in subclauses (i) through (iv) of this clause (b) is in existence, the Required Senior Creditors may agree in writing that payments may be made with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness which
would otherwise be prohibited pursuant to the provisions contained above, provided that any such waiver shall be specifically limited to the respective payment or payments which the Required Senior Creditors agree may be so paid to any Party
in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness. 
 (c) If such Party shall acquire by indemnification, subrogation
or otherwise, any lien, estate, right or other interest in any of the assets or properties of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, that lien, estate, right or other interest shall be subordinate in right of payment to the Senior
Indebtedness, as provided herein, and such Party hereby waives any and all rights it may acquire by subrogation or otherwise to any lien of the Senior Indebtedness or any portion thereof until such time as all Senior Indebtedness has been repaid in
full in cash and all commitments in respect thereof have been terminated. 
 (d) Such Party shall not pledge,
assign, hypothecate, transfer, convey or sell any Subordinated Indebtedness or any interest in any Subordinated Indebtedness to any entity (other than a Party hereto) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (with the prior
written consent of the Required Senior Creditors). 
  

 3 









 Exhibit I 

Page 4 
  

 (e) After request by the Administrative Agent, such Party shall within
ten (10) days furnish the Senior Creditors with a statement, duly acknowledged and certified setting forth the original principal amount of the notes evidencing the indebtedness of the Subordinated Indebtedness, the unpaid principal balance,
all accrued interest but unpaid interest and any other sums due and owing thereunder, the rate of interest, the monthly payments and that, to the best knowledge of such Party, there exists no defaults under the Subordinated Indebtedness, or if any
such defaults exist, specifying the defaults and the nature thereof. 
 (f) In any case commenced by or against
the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar federal, foreign, state or local statute (a “Reorganization Proceeding”), to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Required Senior Creditors
shall have the exclusive right to exercise any voting rights in respect of the claims of such Party against the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. 

(g) If, at any time, all or part of any payment with respect to Senior Indebtedness theretofore made (whether by the U.S.
Borrower, any other Credit Party or any other Person or enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise) is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the holders of Senior Indebtedness for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the U.S. Borrower, any other Credit Party or such other Persons), the subordination provisions set forth herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, all as though such
payment had not been made. 
 (h) Such Party shall not object to the entry of any order or orders approving any
cash collateral stipulations, adequate protection stipulations or similar stipulations executed by the Senior Creditors in any Reorganization Proceeding or any other proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code. 

(i) Such Party waives any marshalling rights with respect to the Senior Creditors in any Reorganization Proceeding or any
other proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code. 
 3. Any payments made to, or received by, any Party in respect of any guaranty or
security in support of the Subordinated Indebtedness shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and applied on the same basis as payments made directly by the obligor under such Subordinated Indebtedness. To the extent that the U.S. Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries (other than the respective obligor or obligors which are already Parties hereto) provides a guaranty or any security in support of any Subordinated Indebtedness, the Party which is the lender of the respective Subordinated
Indebtedness will cause each such Person to become a Party hereto (if such Person is not already a Party hereto) not later than the date of the execution and delivery of the respective guarantee or security documentation, provided that any
failure to comply with the foregoing requirements of this Section 3 will have no effect whatsoever on the subordination provisions contained herein (which shall apply to all payments received with respect to any guarantee or security for any
Subordinated Indebtedness, whether or not the Person furnishing such guarantee or security is a Party hereto). 
  

 4 









 Exhibit I 

Page 5 
  

 4. Each Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that no payments will be accepted by it in
respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness (unless promptly turned over to the holders of Senior Indebtedness as contemplated by Section 2 above) to the extent such payments would be prohibited under any Senior Indebtedness (or the documentation
governing the same). 
 5. Definitions. As and in this Agreement, the terms set forth below shall have the respective
meanings provided below: 
 “Enforcement Action” shall mean any acceleration of all or any part
of the Subordinated Indebtedness, any foreclosure proceeding, the exercise of any power of sale, the obtaining of a receiver, the seeking of default interest, the suing on, or otherwise taking action to enforce the obligation of the U.S. Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries to pay any amounts relating to any Subordinated Indebtedness, the exercising of any banker’s lien or rights of set-off or recoupment, the institution of a Bankruptcy Proceeding against the U.S. Borrower or any of its

each Loan Document to which it is at any time a party (including, without limitation, all such obligations and liabilities of each Credit Party under the Credit Agreement (if a party thereto) and under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement (if a party

 6. Each
Party agrees to be fully bound by all terms and provisions contained in this Agreement, both with respect to any Subordinated Indebtedness (including any guarantees thereof and security therefor) owed to it, and with respect to all Subordinated
Indebtedness (including all guarantees thereof and security therefor) owing by it.

 8. No failure or delay on the part of any party

thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. 
 9. Each Party hereto acknowledges that to the extent
that no adequate remedy at law exists for breach of its obligations under this Agreement, in the event any Party fails to comply with its obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent or the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall have the right to
obtain specific performance of the obligations of such defaulting Party, injunctive relief or such other equitable relief as may be available. 

10. Any notice to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent in accordance with the provisions of the Credit

Creditors from time to time and their successors and assigns as holders of the Senior Indebtedness and the Subordinated Indebtedness shall have any rights under this Agreement. 

13. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together
shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
 14. No amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or termination of this
Agreement shall be effective against a party against whom the enforcement of such amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or termination would be asserted, unless such amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or termination was made in a

time); provided, further, that an amendment pursuant to Section 18 shall be enforceable against each Party hereto. 

15. In case any one or more of the provisions confined in this Agreement, or any application thereof, shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein, and any other application thereof, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

16. (a) This Agreement, unless expressly set forth therein, shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with, the law

 (b) Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof,
in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect
of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state court or, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. 

(c) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection
that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives,
to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

(d) Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 11.1 of the Credit
Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. 

(e) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT
MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON 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 BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 

17. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the other Senior Creditors and each Party and their
respective successors, permitted transferees and assigns. 
 18. The parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall terminate
when all Senior Indebtedness has been indefeasibly and irrevocably repaid in full in cash and all commitments in respect thereof have been terminated; provided, that, upon such termination, the U.S. Borrower may designate any replacement
facility in place of the “Credit Agreement” 
  

 8 









 Exhibit I 

Page 9 
  

 
hereunder and may enter into an amendment to this Agreement to substitute such replacement facility for all purposes and conform all terms, which amendment shall be given full force and effect
with respect to each Party. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed a “Party” hereto and (b) the Administrative Agent shall not be bound by, or obligated in respect of, any such amendment to
this Agreement contemplated by this Section 18.

 Schedule 1.1(b) 

MANDATORY COST 

1. The Mandatory Cost (to the extent applicable) is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance
with: 
 (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case,
any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions); or 
 (b) the requirements of the European
Central Bank. 
 2. On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Administrative Agent shall
calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as a weighted average of the
Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum. The Administrative Agent will, at the request of the U.S. Borrower
or any Lender, deliver to the U.S. Borrower or such Lender as the case may be, a statement setting forth the calculation of any Mandatory Cost. 

3. The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Lending Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified
by that Lender to the Administrative Agent. This percentage will be certified by such Lender in its notice to the Administrative Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of such Lender’s participation in
all Loans made from such Lending Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of Loans made from that Lending Office. 

4. The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Lending Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Administrative
Agent as follows: 
 (a) in relation to any Loan in Sterling (if applicable): 

 

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

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

 

			
	 E x 0.01
	 	per cent per annum
	300	 	

  







 Where: 
  

	“A”	is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an
interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements. 

  

	“B”	is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Margin, the Mandatory Cost and any interest charged on overdue amounts pursuant to the
Section 4.1(c)(B), (C) or (D) and, in the case of interest (other than on overdue amounts) charged at the rate set forth in Section 4.1(c), without counting any increase in interest rate effected by the charging of the
rate set forth in Section 4.1(c)) payable for the relevant Interest Period of such Loan. 

  

	“C”	is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of
England. 

  

	“D”	is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Administrative Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits. 


 

	“E”	is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Administrative Agent as being the average of the most recent rates
of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000. 


5. For the purposes of this Schedule: 

“Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under
or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England; 
 “Fees
Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the Financial Services Authority Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits; 

“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors
(ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); 

“Participating Member State” means any member state of the European Communities that adopts or has adopted the
euro as its lawful currency in accordance with legislation of the European Community relating to Economic and Monetary Union. 

“Reference Banks” means the principal office in London of Wells Fargo and Bank of America, N.A. or such other
banks as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the U.S. Borrower. 







 “Sterling” means the lawful currency of the United Kingdom and 

“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules. 

6. In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5% will be included in the
formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places. 

7. If requested by the Administrative Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial
Services Authority, supply to the Administrative Agent, the rate of charge payable by such Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority
(calculated for this purpose by such Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to such Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of such Reference Bank.

 8. Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of calculating its
Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information in writing on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender: 

(a) the jurisdiction of the Lending Office out of which it is making available its participation in the relevant Loan; and

 (b) any other information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably require for such purpose. 

Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this
paragraph. 
 9. The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Reference Bank
for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Administrative Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent to the contrary,
each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a lending office in the same jurisdiction as its Lending Office. 

10. The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over-
or under-compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects. 

11. The Administrative Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the
basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each 







 
Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above. 

12. Any determination by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional
Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto. 

13. The Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the U.S. Borrower and the Lenders, determine and notify to
all parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European
Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.
