 NOW,
THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is acknowledged by each party hereto, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

Section 1. Defined Terms; Rules of Construction. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms
used herein and not otherwise defined, including the terms used in the preamble and recitals hereto, shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement as amended hereby. As used in this Amendment, “Loan Parties” shall
include the Lead Borrower General Partner. The rules of construction specified in Sections 1.02 through 1.17 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to this Amendment, including the preamble and recitals hereto. 

Section 2. First Amendment Incremental Commitment Increase. Pursuant to Section 2.20 of the
Credit Agreement, and subject solely to the satisfaction (or waiver by the First Amendment Incremental Lenders) of the Conditions to Effectiveness, on and as of the First Amendment Effective Date: 

(a) Each First Amendment Incremental Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to provide Initial Commitments in the form of an Incremental
Commitment Increase to the Borrowers on the First Amendment Effective Date such that the Initial Commitment of each such First Amendment Incremental Lender on the First Amendment Effective Date is the amount set forth on Schedule 2.01 to the

Amendment (including with respect to interest rates (including Applicable Rates), maturity, voluntary prepayment terms, mandatory prepayment terms and other terms as set forth in the Credit Agreement as amended hereby). Each First Amendment
Incremental Lender agrees to its Specified LC Sublimit set forth on Schedule 2.01 to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby, such that the aggregate LC Sublimit shall be $273 million. 

(b) The First Amendment Incremental Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties party hereto agree that this Amendment shall
constitute an Incremental Facility Amendment pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.20 of the Credit Agreement. 
 (c) On the
First Amendment Effective Date, (i) each Initial Lender immediately prior to the First Amendment Incremental Commitment Increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each relevant First Amendment Incremental
Lender, and each relevant First Amendment Incremental Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed a portion of, such Initial Lender’s participations in any outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans such
that, after giving effect to each deemed assignment and assumption of participations, all of the Initial Lenders’ (including each First Amendment Incremental Lender’s) participations in any Letters of Credit and participations in any
Swingline Loans shall be held on a pro rata basis on the basis of their respective Initial Commitments (after giving effect to the First Amendment Incremental Commitment Increase) and (ii) each Initial Lender immediately prior to the First
Amendment Incremental Commitment Increase shall assign Initial Loans to certain First Amendment Incremental Lenders, and such First Amendment Incremental Lenders shall purchase such Initial Loans, in each case to the extent necessary so that all of
the Initial Lenders participate in each outstanding borrowing of Initial Loans pro rata on the basis of their respective Initial Commitments (after giving effect to the First Amendment Incremental Commitment Increase).

such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 (c) Counterparts. This Amendment may

SECTION 1.04 Accounting Terms; GAAP. 

(a) All accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial data
(including financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in conformity with, GAAP, applied in a manner consistent with that used in preparing the Audited Financial
Statements, except as otherwise specifically prescribed herein and without giving effect to (i) any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification
470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification, International Accounting Standard or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or
bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof and (ii) the application of Accounting Standards Codification 480, 815, 805 and 718 (to the extent these
pronouncements under Accounting Standards Codification 718 result in recording an equity award as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet of the Borrowers and the other Group Members in the circumstance where, but for the application of the
pronouncements, such award would have been classified as equity). 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but subject to
Section 1.09, for purposes of determining compliance with any test contained in this Agreement, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the
Interest Coverage Ratio, the Payment Conditions, Availability, Specified Availability and any other financial ratio or test that are calculated with respect to any Test Period during which a Specified Transaction occurs shall be calculated on a Pro
Forma Basis, irrespective of whether 

  
 104 













 
the applicable provision of this Agreement expressly requires such calculation on a Pro Forma Basis. Further, if since the beginning of any such Test Period and on or prior to the date of any
required calculation of any financial ratio or test (x) any Specified Transaction has occurred or (y) any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into any Borrower or any
of their Restricted Subsidiaries or any Joint Venture since the beginning of such Test Period has consummated any Specified Transaction, then, in each case, any applicable financial ratio or test shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis for such
Test Period as if such Specified Transaction had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that solely for purposes of calculating compliance with Section 6.10 as at the end
of any fiscal period, if applicable, in each case, the date of the required calculation shall be the last day of the Test Period, and no Specified Transaction occurring thereafter shall be taken into account). 

(c) Where reference is made to “Holdings and the Group Members on a ‘consolidated basis’” or similar language, such
consolidation shall not include any Unrestricted Subsidiaries of Holdings. 
 (d) In the event that there is any change in U.S. GAAP or IFRS
(as applicable) or in the application thereof or any adoption or modification of accounting policies (including (x) if the Lead Borrower elects or is required to change the accounting method in which it will prepare its financial statements and
(y) the impact of Accounting Standards Update 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) or similar revenue recognition policies or any change in the methodology of calculating reserves
for returns, rebates and other chargebacks) that results in a change in the method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms (collectively, the “Accounting Changes”) in this Agreement, the Lead Borrower and the
Administrative Agent agree to enter into good faith negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement (including the levels applicable herein to any computation of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage
Ratio, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Interest Coverage Ratio, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio and any other financial ratio or test) so as to reflect equitably the Accounting Changes (without the payment of any amendment or similar fee to the
Lenders), with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating Holdings’ financial condition shall be substantially the same after such change as if such change had not been made. Until such time as such an amendment shall have been
executed and delivered by the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent, all financial covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed in accordance with the previous accounting method (as determined in
good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower (it being agreed that, if relevant, the reconciliation between U.S. GAAP and IFRS (as applicable) used in such determination shall be made available to Lenders)) as if such change had not
occurred. For the avoidance of doubt, solely making an election pursuant to this clause (d) for a change from U.S. GAAP to IFRS (or IFRS to U.S. GAAP) (without any other action) will not (1) be treated as an incurrence of
Indebtedness or (2) have the effect of rendering invalid any Restricted Payment or Investment, the incurrence of any Indebtedness or Liens, the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction of Indebtedness, or the
designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary made prior to the date of such election conditioned on Holdings and the Restricted Subsidiaries having been able to satisfy any Total Net Leverage Ratio, First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Secured Net Leverage
Ratio, Interest Coverage Ratio, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or any other financial ratio or test or action that was previously valid under this Agreement on the date made, incurred or taken and prior to such election, as the case
may be. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in paragraph (a) or (d) above or in the definition of
“Capitalized Lease,” unless the Lead Borrower elects otherwise, all obligations of any Person that are or would have been treated as operating leases for purposes of GAAP prior to the issuance by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on
February 25, 2016 of an Accounting Standards 

  
 105 













 
Update (the “ASU”) shall continue to be accounted for as operating leases for purposes of all financial definitions (including the definition of Indebtedness), calculations and
deliverables under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (whether or not such operating lease obligations were in effect on such date) notwithstanding the fact that such obligations are required in accordance with the ASU or otherwise (on a
prospective or retroactive basis or otherwise) to be treated as or to be recharacterized as capital lease obligations or otherwise accounted for as liabilities in financial statements. 

SECTION 1.05 Effectuation of Transactions. All references herein to Holdings, the Borrowers and the other Subsidiaries shall be deemed
to be references to such Persons, and all the representations and warranties of each of Holdings, the Borrowers and each other Loan Party contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed made, in each case, after giving
effect to the Transactions to occur on the Closing Date, unless the context otherwise requires. 
 SECTION 1.06 Currency Translation;
Rates. On each Exchange Rate Determination Date, the Administrative Agent or applicable Issuing Bank shall (i) determine the Exchange Rate as of such Exchange Rate Determination Date and (ii) give notice thereof to (A) the Lead
Borrower and (B) each Lender and/or Issuing Bank that shall have requested such information. The Exchange Rates so determined shall become effective on the first Business Day immediately following the relevant Exchange Rate Determination Date
(each, a “Reset Date”) and shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date, and shall for all purposes of this Agreement (other than any provision expressly requiring the use of a current Exchange Rate) be the Exchange
Rate employed in converting amounts between Dollars, on the one hand, and Alternative Currencies or Approved Foreign Currencies, on the other hand. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of any determination under Article V, Article VI, Article VII or
Article VIII or any determination under any other provision of this Agreement subject to any Dollar limitation, threshold or basket, all amounts incurred, outstanding or proposed to be incurred or outstanding in currencies other than Dollars
shall be translated into Dollars at the Exchange Rate (rounded to the nearest currency unit, with 0.5 or more of a currency unit being rounded upward) at the applicable time determined in accordance with Section 1.09(a); provided,
however, that for purposes of determining compliance with Article VI with respect to any amount in a currency other than Dollars, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of
exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness, Lien or Investment is incurred or Disposition, Restricted Payment or Restricted Debt Payment made or such transaction with an Affiliate is entered into; provided, further, that, for
the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.06 shall otherwise apply to such Sections, including with respect to determining whether any Indebtedness, Lien or Investment may be incurred or Disposition, Restricted
Payment or Restricted Debt Payment made or such transaction with an Affiliate may be entered into at any time under such Sections. For purposes of any determination of Consolidated Total Debt or Consolidated Total Net Debt, amounts in currencies
other than Dollars shall be translated into Dollars at the currency exchange rates used in preparing the most recently delivered financial statements pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or Section 5.01(b) adjusted to reflect the
currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of any Swap Agreements permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the Dollar Equivalent.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that the Lead Borrower would not be in compliance with Section 6.10 if any Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than Dollars were to be translated into Dollars on the
preceding basis, but would be in compliance with Section 6.10 if such Indebtedness that is denominated in a currency other than in Dollars were instead translated into Dollars on the basis of the average relevant currency exchange rates
over such Test Period (adjusted to reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of any Swap Agreements permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with 

  
 106 













 
respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the Dollar Equivalent), then, solely for purposes of compliance with Section 6.10, the Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio as of the last day of such Test Period shall be calculated on the basis of such average relevant currency exchange rates. Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the
Administrative Agent may from time to time specify with the Lead Borrower’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to appropriately reflect a change in currency of any country and any relevant market conventions or practices
relating to such change in currency. 
 (c) For purposes of determining compliance with Section 6.01 or
Section 6.02, if any Indebtedness, Disqualified Equity Interest or Lien is incurred in reliance on a basket measured by reference to a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA, and any refinancing or replacement thereof would cause the
percentage of Consolidated EBITDA to be exceeded if calculated based on the Consolidated EBITDA on the date of such refinancing or replacement, such percentage of Consolidated EBITDA will be deemed not to be exceeded so long as the principal amount
of such refinancing or replacement Indebtedness or other obligation does not exceed an amount sufficient to repay the principal amount of such Indebtedness or other obligation being refinanced or replaced, except by an amount equal to
(x) unpaid accrued interest, penalties and premiums (including tender, prepayment or repayment premiums) thereon plus underwriting discounts and other customary fees, commissions and expenses (including upfront fees, original issue discount or
initial yield payment) incurred in connection with such refinancing or replacement, (y) any existing commitments unutilized thereunder and (z) additional amounts permitted to be incurred under Section 6.01. 

SECTION 1.07 Timing of Payment of Performance. When payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is
stated to be due or required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment (other than as described in the definition of “Interest Period”) or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day, and, in
the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. 
 SECTION 1.08 Cashless
Rollovers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, to the extent that any Lender extends the maturity date of, or replaces, renews or refinances, any of its then-existing Loans with
Incremental Commitment Increases, Incremental Facilities, extended Commitments or loans incurred under a new credit facility, in each case, to the extent such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing is effected by means of a “cashless
roll” by such Lender, such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing shall be deemed to comply with any requirement hereunder or any other Loan Document that such payment be made “in Dollars”, “in immediately available
funds”, “in cash” or any other similar requirement. 
 SECTION 1.09 Certain Calculations and Tests. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of (i) determining compliance with any
provision in this Agreement or any Loan Document that requires the calculation of any financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, Section 6.10, the satisfaction of the Payment Conditions with respect to any action, any
Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test, any First Lien Net Leverage Ratio test, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test, any Total Net Leverage Ratio test, any Interest Coverage Ratio test, Availability and Specified Availability (in the case of
Availability and/or Specified Availability solely in connection with making any determination as to whether an action can be permitted under Article VI of this Agreement and not in connection with, directly or indirectly, any Credit Extension under
this Agreement) and/or any other financial ratio or test), (ii) determining compliance with representations and warranties or the requirement regarding the absence of a Default or Event of Default (or any type of Default or Event of


  
 107 













 
Default) or (iii) testing any cap measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or any other financial metric or by reference to the Available Equity Amount, or any other availability of a
“basket” or exception set forth in this Agreement (but in any event not in connection with (x) determining whether the conditions precedent to a Credit Extension under Section 4.01 have been satisfied, (y) except in
connection with a “last-out” Incremental Facility the proceeds of which are to be used to consummate a Limited Condition Transaction, whether, as a condition precedent to any Credit Extension after
the Closing Date, the Availability Conditions under Section 4.02(d) have been satisfied or (z) determining any calculation of the Aggregate Borrowing Base, the US Borrowing Base, the German Borrowing Base or the Mexican Borrowing
Base), in each case, in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, the date of determination, at the election of the Lead Borrower (the Lead Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction,
an “LCT Election”), will be deemed to be (1) in the case of any acquisition or other Investment, Disposition, incurrence of Indebtedness or any transaction related to the foregoing, in each case not prohibited hereunder, at the
time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) either (x) the execution of the definitive acquisition agreements or other binding contracts or agreements, or the establishment of a
commitment, as applicable, with respect to such acquisition, Investment, Disposition, Indebtedness or related transaction (or, solely in connection with an acquisition to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers applies, the date
on which a “Rule 2.7 Announcement” of a firm intention to make an offer or similar announcement or determination in another jurisdiction subject to laws similar to the City Code in respect of such target company made in compliance with the
City Code or similar laws or practices in other jurisdictions (a “Public Offer”)) or (y) the consummation of such acquisition, Investment, Disposition, incurrence of Indebtedness or related transaction, (2) in the case of
any Restricted Payment, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) (x) the declaration of such Restricted Payment or (y) the making of such Restricted Payment and
(3) in the case of any Restricted Debt Payment, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) (x) delivery of irrevocable (which may be conditional) notice with respect
to such Restricted Debt Payment or (y) the making of such Restricted Debt Payment (the applicable date pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above, as applicable, the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after such ratios and other
provisions are measured on a Pro Forma Basis (disregarding for the purposes of such pro forma calculation any Borrowing or any other revolving facility) after giving effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be
entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) and, at the election of the Lead Borrower, any other acquisition or similar Investment, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment or
Disposition that has not been consummated but with respect to which the Lead Borrower has elected to test any applicable condition prior to the date of consummation in accordance with this Section 1.09(a), as if they had occurred at the
beginning of the most recently completed Test Period ending prior to the LCT Test Date, the Lead Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratios, representation, warranty, absence of Default or
Event of Default or “basket”, such ratio, representation, warranty, absence of Default or Event of Default or “basket” shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Lead Borrower has made an LCT
Election and (x) any of the ratios or “baskets” for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded (or, with respect to the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or the Interest Coverage Ratio, not
reached) as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or “basket” (including due to fluctuations of the target of any Limited Condition Transaction) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Transaction, such
“baskets” or ratios and other provisions will be deemed not to have been exceeded (or, with respect to the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or the Interest Coverage Ratio, not reached) as a result of such fluctuations solely for
purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that any Borrower or any other Group Member may rely upon any improvement in any such ratio or “basket”
availability) and 

  
 108 













 
(y) in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or “basket” availability on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which
such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement or Public Offer for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any
such ratio or “basket” availability shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of debt and the use of proceeds thereof (but
without netting the cash proceeds thereof)) had been consummated. The provisions of this Section 1.09(a) shall, for the avoidance of doubt, apply in respect of the incurrence of any Incremental Facility. For the avoidance of doubt, the
making of an LCT Election shall not require notice to the Administrative Agent or any other Person. For the further avoidance of doubt, in the absence of an LCT Election, unless specifically stated in this Agreement to be otherwise, all
determinations of (x) compliance with any financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, Section 6.10, any First Lien Net Leverage Ratio test, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test, any Total Net Leverage Ratio test, any
Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test, any Interest Coverage Ratio test, and/or any other financial ratio or test) and/or any cap expressed as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or any other financial metric, (y) the accuracy of any
representation and warranties, or any requirement regarding the absence of a Default or Event of Default (or any type of Default or Event of Default) or (z) any availability test under any “baskets” shall, in each case, be made as of
the applicable date of the consummation of the Specified Transaction or the time the applicable action is taken, change is made, transaction is consummated or event occurs, as the case may be, and no Default or Event of Default shall occur solely as
a result of a change in any such financial ratio or test, cap, financial metric, or “basket” availability occurring after such time. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in
reliance on a provision of this Agreement (including by reference to a provision of the First Lien Facilities) that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, Section 6.10, any Payment
Conditions test, any Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test, any First Lien Net Leverage Ratio test, any Total Net Leverage Ratio test, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Interest Coverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the
“Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently (or as part of a series of related transactions) with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires
compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, Section 6.10, any Payment Conditions test, any Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test, any First Lien Net Leverage Ratio test, any Total Net Leverage Ratio
test, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Interest Coverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that (i) the Fixed Amounts (and any cash proceeds thereof and
any concurrent borrowing under a revolving facility, including a Borrowing consisting of Loans or any other revolving facility) shall be disregarded, and the incurrence of the Incurrence-Based Amount shall be calculated, first without giving effect
to any Fixed Amount, but giving full pro forma effect to the use of proceeds of such Fixed Amount and (ii) the incurrence of the Fixed Amount shall be calculated thereafter. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of the covenants described in Article VI, if any transaction or
action would be permitted pursuant to one or more provisions described therein, the Lead Borrower may divide and classify such transaction or action within any covenant in any manner that complies with the covenants set forth therein, and may later
divide and reclassify any such transaction or action so long as the transaction or action (as so divided and/or reclassified) would be permitted to be made in reliance on the applicable exception as of the date of such reclassification;
provided that if any financial ratio or test governing any applicable Incurrence-Based 

  
 109 













 
Amount would be satisfied in any subsequent period following the utilization of any Fixed Amount, such reclassification shall be deemed to have automatically occurred if not elected by the Lead
Borrower. 
 SECTION 1.10 Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement (or
required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Agreement) shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which
such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding up for five). 
 SECTION 1.11
Additional Currencies. 
 (a) The Borrowers may from time to time request that Loans be made and/or Letters of Credit be issued in a
currency other than Dollars or Approved Foreign Currencies; provided that such currency is a lawful currency that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars. In the case of any such request with respect to
(i) the making of Loans, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders and (ii) the issuance of Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent
and the applicable Issuing Bank. 
 (b) Any such request pursuant to clause (a) above shall be made to the Administrative Agent not
later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, fifteen Business Days prior to the date of the desired Borrowing or issuance of Letters of Credit (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such
request pertaining to Letters of Credit, each applicable Issuing Bank, in its or their sole discretion). In the case of any such request pertaining to (i) Loans, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof and
(ii) Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Issuing Bank thereof. Each Lender (in the case of any such request pertaining to Loans) or the applicable Issuing Bank (in the case of a request pertaining
to Letters of Credit) shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Loans or the issuance of Letters
of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency. 
 (c) Any failure by any Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to respond
to such request pursuant to clause (a) above within the time period specified in the preceding sentence of clause (b) above shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to permit Loans to be made
or Letters of Credit to be issued, as applicable, in such requested currency. If (i) the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders consent to making Loans in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Lead Borrower
in writing and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder solely for purposes of any Borrowings of Loans and (ii) the Administrative Agent and each applicable Issuing Bank consent to the
issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Lead Borrower in writing and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder solely for purposes
of any Letter of Credit issuances by such Issuing Bank. In either case, the Lead Borrower and (x) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (in the case of a request pertaining to Loans) or (y) the Administrative Agent and each applicable
Issuing Bank (in the case of a request pertaining to Letters of Credit) shall be permitted, but not required, to amend this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as necessary to accommodate such Loans or Letters of Credit. If the Administrative
Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.11, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Lead Borrower in writing. 

  
 110 













 SECTION 1.12 Certain Letter of Credit Determinations. 

(a) For all purposes of this Agreement, if on any date of determination a Letter of Credit has expired by its terms but any amount may still
be drawn thereunder by reason of the operation of Rule 3.13 or Rule 3.14 of the International Standby Practices (ISP98), such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be “outstanding” in the amount so remaining available to be drawn. 

(b) Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount (or “face” amount) of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the
stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated
amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall, except for purposes of Section 2.12(b), be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum
stated amount is in effect at such time. 
 SECTION 1.13 Release from Restrictions. Any party hereto authorizing any other Person or
granting to any other Person a power of attorney releases such other Person from any restrictions of multiple representation or self-dealing under any applicable Requirements of Law, including but not limited to restrictions pursuant to §181 of
the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch). 
 SECTION 1.14 Guarantees and Collateral. Notwithstanding any provision
of any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of any determination relating to the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral as to which the Administrative Agent is granted discretion hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent
shall be deemed to have agreed and accepted any determination in respect thereof by the “Administrative Agent” or the “Collateral Agent” with respect to the First Lien Facilities, or any similar agent or trustee with respect to
the First Lien Facilities (including in respect of any substitutions, replacements, extensions, renewals, restatements, or refinancings of the First Lien Facilities), as applicable. 

SECTION 1.15 Additional Borrowers. The Lead Borrower may cause any Group Member constituting a wholly-owned subsidiary formed under the
laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, the laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof or the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany to become a US Borrower or German Borrower, as applicable, after the
Closing Date by written election to the Administrative Agent to become a Borrower hereunder; provided that such Group Member shall (i) execute a joinder to this Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent assuming all obligations of a US Borrower or German Borrower, as applicable, hereunder, (ii) to the extent not previously satisfied with respect to it, take (or cause to be taken) all actions (if any) required to be taken
with respect to such Group Member in order to satisfy the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement with respect to such Group Member, the assets of such Group Member and with respect to any Equity Interest in or Indebtedness of such Group Member owned
by or on behalf of any Loan Party, (iii) deliver to the Administrative Agent such legal opinions, board resolutions and secretary’s certificates as shall be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith, in each
case substantially in the form delivered on the Closing Date with respect to the Loan Parties party to this Agreement on the Closing Date, (iv) provide all documentation and other information required by United States regulatory authorities
under applicable “know your customer” and Anti-Money Laundering Laws, including without limitation Title III of the USA Patriot Act and the Canadian AML Act, that shall be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in writing at
least 10 Business Days prior to the consummation of such joinder, (v) provide, if such Group Member qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, a Beneficial Ownership Certification and
(vi) without limiting any Pro Forma Borrowing Base Adjustment in connection with an 

  
 111 













 
Acquisition Transaction, not have any of its assets included in the US Borrowing Base or German Borrowing Base, as applicable, until its assets have been subject to a field examination and
inventory appraisal in accordance with Section 5.08(b). The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any amendment to this Agreement or to any other Loan Document as may be necessary or appropriate in
order to establish any additional Borrower pursuant to this Section 1.15 and such technical amendments, and other customary amendments with respect to provisions of this Agreement relating to taxes for borrowers in such jurisdiction, in
each case as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower in connection therewith. 

SECTION 1.16 Quebec Matters.

 SECTION 1.17 Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on
Eurocurrency Loans is determined by reference to the US LIBOR Screen Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term
borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE
Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London
interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives
are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. In the event that the London interbank offered rate is no longer available or in certain other circumstances as set forth
in Section 2.14(b) of this Agreement, such Section 2.14(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will notify the Lead Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.14, in
advance of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the
administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “US LIBOR Screen Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate
thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate, as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.14(b), will be similar to, or
produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the US LIBOR Screen Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability (excluding, in each case, in the event of bad
faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment)). The Administrative Agent does
not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate” or with respect
to any comparable or successor rate thereto, except as expressly provided herein. 
 ARTICLE II 

THE CREDITS 
 SECTION 2.01
Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including the satisfaction of the Availability Condition), each Initial Lender with an Initial Commitment severally agrees to make Initial Loans to any Borrower denominated in
Dollars, an Approved Loan Foreign Currency or an Alternative Currency from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount which will not result in (i) in the case of Initial Loans to any US Borrower, such Initial
Lender’s Aggregate Exposure exceeding its Initial Commitment and (ii) in the case of Initial 

  
 113 













 
Loans to any German Borrower, such Initial Lender’s German Exposure exceeding the lesser of (a) such Initial Lender’s Initial Commitment and (b) such Initial Lender’s pro
rata share of the German Sublimit. The Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow such Loans. 
 SECTION 2.02 Loans and Borrowings.

 (a) Each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class, Type and currency
made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. Each Swingline Loan shall be made in accordance with Section 2.05. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it
shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and, other than as expressly provided herein with respect to any reallocation as a result of the existence of a
Defaulting Lender, no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required hereby. 
 (b) Subject to
Section 2.05 (which shall apply to Swingline Loans) and Section 2.14, (i) each Borrowing of Loans denominated in Dollars shall initially be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans as the applicable Borrower may
request in accordance herewith and (ii) each Borrowing of Loans denominated in an Approved Foreign Currency or an Alternative Currency shall be comprised entirely of Eurocurrency Loans. Each Lender (including any Swingline Lender) at its option
may make any Loan (including any Swingline Loan) by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that (1) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the applicable
Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (2) such Loan shall be deemed to have been made and held by such Lender, and the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay such Loan shall nevertheless be to such
Lender for the account of such domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender and (3) in exercising such option, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to minimize increased costs to the Borrowers resulting therefrom (which obligation
of such Lender shall not require it to take, or refrain from taking, actions that it determines would result in increased costs for which it will not be compensated hereunder or that it otherwise determines would be disadvantageous to it and in the
event of such request for costs for which compensation is provided under this Agreement, the provisions of Section 2.15 shall apply); provided, further, that no such domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender
shall be entitled to any greater indemnification under Section 2.17 with respect to such Loan than that to which the applicable Lender was entitled on the date on which such Loan was made (except in connection with any indemnification
entitlement arising as a result of any Change in Law after the date on which such Loan was made). 
 (c) At the commencement of each
Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount (as applicable) that is an integral multiple of $500,000 or €400,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 or €100,000 in excess thereof (unless
the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise agree); provided that, in each case, a Eurocurrency Borrowing that results from a continuation of an outstanding Eurocurrency Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to
such outstanding Borrowing. At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $100,000 (unless such Borrowing is in an amount equal to the remaining
applicable Commitment or, in the case of any ABR Borrowing to be made on the Closing Date, otherwise consistent with the applicable Borrowing Request); provided that an ABR Borrowing that results from the refinancing of any LC Disbursement may be in
an aggregate amount that is equal to such LC Disbursement. Borrowings of more than one Type, Class and currency may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall 

  
 114 













 
not at any time be more than a total of fifteen (15) (or such greater number as the Administrative Agent may agree from time to time) Eurocurrency Borrowings outstanding. 

SECTION 2.03 Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing of Loans, other than Swingline Loans (which shall be made in accordance
with Section 2.05), the Lead Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by delivery (by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission) of a written Borrowing Request (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed thereafter by delivery of a written Borrowing Request) signed by the Lead Borrower to the Administrative Agent (a) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the
date of the proposed Borrowing (or one Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing, in the case of any Eurocurrency Borrowing to be made on the Closing Date (or two Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, in the case of
any Borrowing denominated in Euros or Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars)) or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing (or, in the case of (a) and
(b), such later time as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion). Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable upon delivery (provided that any Borrowing Request (x) in connection with a Borrowing to be made on the
Closing Date may be conditioned on the closing of the Acquisition and (y) to be made in connection with any acquisition, Investment or repayment, redemption or refinancing of Indebtedness may be conditioned on the closing of such acquisition,
Investment or repayment, redemption or refinancing of such Indebtedness) and shall specify the following information (other than, in the case of clause (viii) below, the Borrowing Request pertaining to Borrowings on the Closing Date):

 (i) the Class of such Borrowing (including whether such Loan is a German Loan or a US Loan); 

(ii) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing and the identity of the applicable Borrower; 

(iii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; 

(iv) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; 

(v) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period
contemplated by the definition of “Interest Period”; 
 (vi) the currency of such Borrowing; 

(vii) the location and number of the account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of
Section 2.06; and 
 (viii) that, as of the date of such Borrowing, the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02(a), Section 4.02(b) and Section 4.02(d) are satisfied to the extent applicable to such Borrowing (giving effect to Section 1.09 and the other provisions of this Agreement). 

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified as to any Borrowing, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest
Period of one month’s duration. If no currency is specified as to any Borrowing, then the requested Borrowing shall be made in Dollars. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the Lead
Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly 

  
 115 













 
following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the applicable Class of the details thereof
and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.04 Letters of Credit. 

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including Section 2.22), each Issuing Bank agrees, in
reliance upon the agreement of the Borrowers and the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04 and elsewhere in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars, Approved Letter of Credit
Foreign Currencies or such Alternative Currencies to which the relevant Issuing Bank may agree in accordance with Section 1.11 for the account of any Borrower (or for the account of any Group Member so long a Borrower and such Group
Member are co-applicants in respect of such Letter of Credit), in a form reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, which shall reflect the standard operating procedures of such Issuing Bank, at any
time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of Letter of Credit application or other agreement submitted by
any Borrower to, or entered into by any Borrower with, the applicable Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. 

(b) Issuance, Amendment, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment or extension of
an outstanding Letter of Credit), the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by delivery (by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission) of a written Letter of Credit Request (or telephonic notice
promptly confirmed thereafter by delivery of a written Letter of Credit Request) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days before the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension (or such shorter
period as the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent may agree), (i) requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended or extended and (ii) specifying (1) the date of issuance,
amendment or extension (which shall be a Business Day), (2) the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with clause (d) of this Section 2.04), (3) the amount and currency of such Letter of Credit,
(4) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and (5) such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower also shall
submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended (other than an amendment in respect of a then outstanding Letter of
Credit that does not increase the available amount thereof) or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment (other than an amendment in respect of a then outstanding Letter of Credit that does not increase the available amount thereof) or
extension of any Letter of Credit the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment (other than an amendment in respect of a then outstanding Letter of Credit that does not
increase the available amount thereof) or extension, (A) the Availability Conditions are satisfied, (B) [reserved], (C) the aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Sublimit and (D) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the face amount
of Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank shall not exceed such Issuing Bank’s Specified LC Sublimit (unless otherwise agreed by such Issuing Bank). No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if
(1) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any directive (whether or not having the
force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular, (2) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, if
after giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv), any Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure remains outstanding, unless such Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements, 

  
 116 













 
including the delivery of Cash Collateral, reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank with the Borrowers or such Lender to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure
arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or such Letter of Credit and all other LC Exposure as to which such Issuing Bank has Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure, (3) subject to Section 2.04(i), below, if
such Letter of Credit is not a standby letter of credit, unless such Issuing Bank has consented to the issuance thereof by it or (4) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate the policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of
credit in general. 
 (c) Notice. Each Issuing Bank agrees that in the event of any issuance, amendment (other than an amendment in
respect of a then outstanding Letter of Credit that does not increase the available amount thereof) or extension of a Letter of Credit, it shall provide to the Administrative Agent written notice thereof as required under clause (m) of
this Section 2.04. 
 (d) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the
date specified therein; provided that no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, extend or renew any Letter of Credit if the expiration date of such Letter of Credit extends beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to any
Latest Maturity Date applicable to the Commitments of any Class unless (i) the aggregate amount of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit expiring after any earlier arising Latest Maturity Date does not exceed the aggregate
amount of the Commitments then in effect that are scheduled to remain in effect until any applicable later arising Latest Maturity Date, (ii) all Lenders and such Issuing Bank have consented to such later maturity or (iii) the Lead
Borrower shall have caused such Letter of Credit to be (x) backstopped by a “back to back” letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank or (y) Cash Collateralized in accordance with Section 2.04(j),
in each case, on or before the latest arising applicable Latest Maturity Date. No Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, extend or renew any Letter of Credit if the expiration date of such Letter of Credit extends beyond one year after the
date of such issuance, amendment, extension or renewal unless such Issuing Bank otherwise agrees; provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic extension thereof for any number of additional periods each of up to one or two
years in duration (pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Issuing Bank). 
 (e) Participations. By the
issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the available amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank that is the issuer thereof or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants
to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In
consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement
made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the or on behalf of the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in clause (f) of this Section 2.04 in the currency of such LC Disbursement, or of any reimbursement
payment required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason; provided that if such LC Disbursement is denominated in an Approved Letter of Credit Foreign Currency or an Alternative Currency (other than Euros), each Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of such LC Disbursement shall be paid in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters
of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default, any reduction or termination of the
Commitments or the occurrence of the Termination Date, and that each such payment 

  
 117 













 
required to be made by it under the preceding sentence shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 

(f) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall
reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement in the currency thereof not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time one Business Day after the Lead Borrower receives written notice of
such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received by the Lead Borrower on or before 12:00 noon, New York City time or two Business Days after the Lead Borrower receives written notice of such LC Disbursement, if such written notice is received by the
Lead Borrower after 12:00 noon, New York City time; provided that the applicable Borrower may, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02, request that such payment be financed with a Loan (including a Swingline Loan) in
Dollars (or in Euros, as applicable, for Euro-denominated Letters of Credit) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent (unless in Euros and to be reimbursed as such) of such payment and, to the extent so financed, the applicable Borrower’s
obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Loan or Swingline Loan. If the applicable Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC
Disbursement, the payment then due from the Lead Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage
of the payment then due from the applicable Borrower, in the applicable currency and in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis
mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders pursuant to this clause (f)), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders; provided that if
such LC Disbursement is denominated in an Approved Letter of Credit Foreign Currency or an Alternative Currency (other than Euros), such payment shall be made in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent thereof). Promptly following receipt by the
Administrative Agent of any payment from or on behalf of the applicable Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments
pursuant to this clause (f) to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC
Disbursement (other than the funding of an ABR Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 

(g) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligations to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in clause (f) of this
Section 2.04 is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or
enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein
being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or
circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.04, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the applicable
Borrower’s obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or any of their Affiliates shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter
of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice
or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a 

  
 118 













 
drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Banks; provided that the foregoing shall not be
construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct (but not consequential) damages suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether
drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of any Issuing Bank (as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable judgment), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. 

(h) Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, within the period stipulated by the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit
following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. After such examination, each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower in writing of
such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make a LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to
reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement in accordance with clause (f) of this Section 2.04. 

(i) Commercial Letters of Credit; Bankers’ Acceptances; Bank Guarantees. No Issuing Bank (or any Affiliate or branch thereof)
shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit other than a standby letter of credit, without such Issuing Bank’s consent; provided that in the event that any Issuing Bank does not consent to issue bank guarantees, bankers’
acceptances and/or trade letters of credit, such Issuing Bank will, at the Lead Borrower’s request and expense and subject to the other limitations set forth in this Section 2.04, use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into
backstop arrangements with one or more other banks reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Borrower whereby such non-consenting Issuing Bank shall issue a standby Letter of Credit, on the terms and conditions set
forth herein, to backstop the applicable bank guarantee, bankers’ acceptance and/or trade letter of credit (as applicable) issued by such other bank or banks, as applicable. 

(j) Cash Collateralization. Effective immediately, without demand or other notice of any kind, if any Specified Event of Default shall
occur and be continuing and the Loans have been declared due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof, then on the Business Day on which the Lead Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or the
Required Lenders demanding the deposit of Cash Collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the applicable Borrowers shall deposit in an interest-bearing account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of
the Lenders and applicable Issuing Banks, Cash Collateral with respect to the LC Exposure, as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The applicable Borrowers also shall deposit Cash Collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to
the extent required by Section 2.11(b). Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the applicable Borrowers. At any time that there shall exist a
Defaulting Lender, if any Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure remains outstanding (after giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv)), then promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank, the applicable
Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover such Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). The Administrative Agent
(for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks) shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC 

  
 119 













 
Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed by the applicable Borrowers when such reimbursement by the applicable Borrowers is required hereunder and, to the extent not so applied, the
balance shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, such balance shall be applied to satisfy other obligations of the
applicable Borrowers under this Agreement. If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default or the existence of a Defaulting Lender, such amount (together with all
interest or other earnings with respect thereto, to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived or after the termination of Defaulting
Lender status, as applicable. If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11(b), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower as and to
the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Borrowers would remain in compliance with Section 2.11(b) and no Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 

(k) Designation of Additional Issuing Banks. The Lead Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, designate as additional Issuing
Banks one or more Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below. The acceptance by a Lender of an appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be evidenced by a written agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower, executed by the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such designated US Lender and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Lender shall have all the
rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such Lender in its capacity as an issuer of Letters of Credit hereunder. 

(l) Termination of an Issuing Bank. The Lead Borrower may terminate the appointment of any Issuing Bank as an “Issuing Bank”
hereunder by providing a written notice thereof to such Issuing Bank (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed thereafter by delivery of a written notice), with a copy to the Administrative Agent. Any such termination shall become effective upon the
earlier of (i) such Issuing Bank’s acknowledging receipt of such notice and (ii) the third Business Day following the date of the delivery thereof. At the time any such termination shall become effective, the applicable Borrowers
shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the terminated Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). Notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such termination, the terminated Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall
continue to have all the rights of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not issue any additional Letters of Credit. 

(m) Issuing Bank Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall, in
addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section 2.04, report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Administrative
Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, including all issuances, extensions and amendments, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) within three Business Days following the
time that such Issuing Bank issues, amends or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment or extension, and the currency and available amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended or extended by it and outstanding after
giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date, currency and amount of such LC Disbursement,
(iv) on any Business Day on which any Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and amount of such LC Disbursement and (v)


  
 120 













 
on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. 

(n) Technical Amendments. The Lead Borrower, any additional Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any
other Lenders or Issuing Banks, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary to effect the provisions of clause (k) and (l) above with respect to the designation or termination of an
Issuing Bank. 
 SECTION 2.05 Swingline Loans. 

(a) Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including Section 2.22), each Swingline
Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreement of the applicable Borrowers and the applicable Lenders set forth in this Section 2.05 and elsewhere in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, to make (i) US Swingline Loans in
Dollars to any US Borrower and (ii) German Swingline Loans in Dollars or Euros (as the applicable German Borrower may request) to any German Borrower, in each case from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal
amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (1) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding the Swingline Commitment and (2) the failure of the Availability Conditions to be
satisfied; provided that no Swingline Lender shall be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. The Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. Each US Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan and
each German Swingline Loan shall bear interest at a rate determined by reference to (1) in the case of a German Swingline Loan denominated in Dollars, the US LIBOR Screen Rate for Dollar deposits or (2) in the case of a German Swingline
Loan denominated in Euro, the EURIBOR Screen Rate for Euro deposits, in each case with a term of 1 week determined as of approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the applicable Interest Rate Determination Date (but if more than one applicable rate
is specified on such page, the rate will be an arithmetic average of all such rates). All German Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable for all German Swingline Loans, regardless of which German Borrower receives the proceeds thereof. All
US Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable for all Swingline Loans, regardless of which Borrower receives the proceeds thereof. 

(b) Swingline Loans. To request a Swingline Loan, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Swingline
Lender of such request by delivery (by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission) of a written Borrowing Request (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed thereafter by delivery of a written Borrowing Request), not later than
(i) in the case of a US Swingline Loan, 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of the proposed US Swingline Loan and (ii) in the case of a German Swingline Loan, 1.00 p.m. Berlin time, on the day of the proposed German Swingline Loan.
Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the applicable Borrower by means
of a credit to the general deposit account of the applicable Borrower with the Swingline Lender (or such other deposit account that has been agreed by the Swingline Lender and the applicable Borrower) (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to
finance the reimbursement of a LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.04(f), by remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank) by (1) 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of any US Swingline Loan and (2) 4:00 p.m. Berlin
time, on the requested date of any German Swingline Loan. Swingline Loans shall be made in minimum amounts of $500,000 or €400,000. 

(c) Prepayment. The applicable Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to repay, without premium or penalty,
any Swingline Loan, in whole or in part, by delivery (by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission) of such intent to repay (or telephonic notice 

  
 121 













 
promptly confirmed thereafter by delivery of a written notice), by the Lead Borrower to the Swingline Lender and to the Administrative Agent before (i) in the case of a US Swingline Loan,
4:00 p.m., New York City time and (ii) in the case of a German Swingline Loan, 4.00 p.m., Berlin time, in each case, on the date of repayment. All principal payments of Swingline Loans shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal
amount being repaid to the date of payment. 
 (d) Participations. The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the
Administrative Agent not later than (i) in the case of a US Swingline Loan, 2:00 p.m., New York City time and (ii) in the case of a German Swingline Loan, 1.00 p.m., Berlin time, on any Business Day require the Lenders to acquire
participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative
Agent will give notice thereof to each applicable Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice
as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this clause (d) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default, Event of Default or reduction or
termination of the Commitments or the occurrence of the Termination Date, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this clause
(d) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment
obligations of the Lenders pursuant to this clause (d)) (or three Business Days after receipt of notice by the Administrative Agent, in the case of any Swingline Loan denominated in Euros), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to
the applicable Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lead Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this clause (d), and thereafter payments
in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to such Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by such Swingline Lender from any Borrower (or other party on behalf of any Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan
after receipt by such Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the
Administrative Agent to the applicable Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this clause (d) and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to
this clause (d) shall not relieve any applicable Borrower of any default in the payment thereof. 
 (e) Designation of
Additional Swingline Lenders. The Lead Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, designate as an additional Swingline Lender one or more Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below. The acceptance by a Lender of an
appointment as a Swingline Lender hereunder shall be evidenced by a written agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower, executed by the Lead Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and such designated Lender and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement and (ii) references herein to the term
“Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to include such Lender in its capacity as a Swingline Lender hereunder and references to “Swingline Loans” and the “Swingline Commitment” shall be construed as references to the
Swingline Loans and Swingline Commitment of the applicable Swingline Lender or all Swingline Lenders as the context may require. 

  
 122 













 (f) Termination of a Swingline Lender. The Lead Borrower may terminate the
appointment of any Swingline Lender as a “Swingline Lender” hereunder by providing a written notice thereof to such Swingline Lender (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed thereafter by delivery of a written notice), with a copy to the
Administrative Agent. Any such termination shall become effective upon the earlier of (i) such Swingline Lender’s acknowledging receipt of such notice and (ii) the third Business Day following the date of the delivery thereof;
provided that no such termination shall become effective until and unless the Swingline Loans made by such Swingline Lender shall have been paid in full. 

(g) Technical Amendments. The Lead Borrower, any additional Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent may, without the consent of
any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary to effect the provisions of clause (e) and (f) above. 

SECTION 2.06 Funding of Borrowings. 

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds
by 1:00 p.m., New York City time to the Applicable Account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in
Section 2.05. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower on the same Business Day by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account or accounts of the applicable Borrower
(or the applicable Borrower’s designee) designated by the applicable Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or as otherwise directed by the applicable Borrower; provided that Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC
Disbursement as provided in Section 2.04(f) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.04(f) to reimburse such Issuing
Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. 
 (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
share available on such date in accordance with clause (a) of this Section 2.06 and may, in reliance on such assumption and in its sole discretion, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such
event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such share on demand of the Administrative
Agent. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon demand of the Administrative Agent therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lead Borrower and the applicable Borrowers agree, to pay such corresponding
amount to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the applicable Borrower (without duplication) interest on such corresponding amount, 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 such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the applicable Borrower, the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing in accordance with
Section 2.13. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing and the Administrative Agent shall return to the applicable Borrower any
amount (including interest) paid by or on behalf of such Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this clause (b). Any payment by any 

  
 123 













 
Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 

(c) Obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans and to make payments
pursuant to Section 9.03(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 9.03(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve
any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and, other than as expressly provided herein with respect to any reallocation of commitments as a result of the existence of a Defaulting Lender, no Lender shall be responsible
for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 9.03(c). 

SECTION 2.07 Interest Elections. 

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request or designated by Section 2.03 and,
in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request or designated by Section 2.03. Thereafter, the Lead Borrower may elect to convert any such Borrowing to a different
Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.07. The Lead Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions
of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This
Section 2.07(a) shall not apply to Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or continued. German Loans shall not be converted to US Loans or vice versa. 

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.07, the Lead Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by
delivery (by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission) to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed thereafter by delivery of a written Interest Election Request) signed
by the Lead Borrower by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Lead Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election.
Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable upon delivery. 
 (c) Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.03: 
 (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies
and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and
(iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to
such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR
Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and 
 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest
Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.” 

  
 124 













 If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest
Period, then the Lead Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
 (d) Promptly following
receipt of an Interest Election Request in accordance with this Section 2.07, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the applicable Class of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting
Borrowing. 
 (e) If the Lead Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to
the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to, or continued as, as applicable, a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an
Interest Period of one month’s duration. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Lead Borrower,
then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, no outstanding Loan denominated in Dollars may be continued as or converted to a Eurocurrency Loan. 

SECTION 2.08 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. 

(a) Unless previously terminated, the Initial Commitments shall terminate on the Initial Maturity Date. 

(b) The Lead Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each
reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in a principal amount (as applicable) that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 or €800,000 and not less than a principal amount of $1,000,000 or €800,000 (or in any other amount
that the Administrative Agent agrees in its discretion), (ii) the Lead Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the total
Aggregate Exposures would exceed the Aggregate Commitments and (iii) if, after giving effect to any reduction of Commitments, the LC Sublimit exceeds the amount of aggregate Commitments, then the LC Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by
the amount of such excess. 
 (c) The Lead Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the
Commitments under clause (b) of this Section 2.08 (as selected by the Lead Borrower) at least one Business Day prior to the effective date thereof, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following
receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Lead Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of
termination or reduction of any Commitments delivered by the Lead Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of the proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or the
occurrence of any other identifiable event or condition, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Lead Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date of termination or reduction) if such condition
is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of
such Class. 
 SECTION 2.09 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. 

(a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, the then unpaid
principal amount of each Loan of such Lender owing by such Borrower and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan 

  
 125 













 
owing by such Borrower, in each case, on the Maturity Date (or, in the case of any Swingline Loan, on the earlier of (x) the date that is ten Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made
(in the case of a US Swingline Loan) or the date that is 7 days after such Swingline Loan is made (in the case of a German Swingline Loan) and (y) the Maturity Date). 

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

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the
Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the applicable Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of
any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (d) The
entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of this Section 2.09 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein (absent manifest
error); provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower to pay any amounts due hereunder in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the entries made pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 2.09, the accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
clause (c) of this Section 2.09 shall control. 
 (e) Any Lender may request through the Administrative Agent that
Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit H, payable to such Lender or its
registered assigns and in a form provided by the Administrative Agent and approved by the Lead Borrower. 
 SECTION 2.10 Protective
Advances. The Administrative Agent shall be authorized, in its discretion, following notice to and consultation with the Lead Borrower, at any time, to make ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans (with an Interest Period of one month’s duration)
to the Borrowers (each such Loan, to the extent in respect of US Collateral (which shall, for purposes of this Section 2.10, include Mexican Collateral), a “US Protective Advance”, to the extent in respect of German
Collateral, a “German Protective Advance” and, collectively, “Protective Advances”), (a) (i) for all Protective Advances, in an aggregate amount, together with the aggregate amount of all Permitted
Overadvances, not to exceed 10% of the Aggregate Borrowing Base, (ii) for US Protective Advances, in an aggregate amount not to exceed 10% of the US Borrowing Base and (iii) for German Protective Advances, in an aggregate amount not to
exceed 10% of the German Line Cap, in each case, if the Administrative Agent deems such Protective Advances necessary or desirable to preserve and protect the US Collateral or German Collateral, as applicable, or to enhance the collectability or
repayment of the applicable Obligations or (b) to pay any other amounts chargeable to Loan Parties under any Loan Documents, including costs, fees and expenses (so long as due and payable and not in dispute by the Lead Borrower (acting in good
faith)); provided that, in no event shall Protective Advances or such other payments be permitted to the extent such Protective Advance or such other payment would cause the total Aggregate Exposure to exceed the Aggregate Commitments. Each
Lender shall participate in each Protective Advance in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. The Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s authority to make further Protective Advances under clause
(a) by written notice to the Administrative Agent. Absent such revocation, the Administrative Agent’s determination 

  
 126 













 
that funding of a Protective Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive. The Administrative Agent may use the proceeds of such Protective Advances to (1) protect, insure, maintain or realize
upon any US Collateral or German Collateral as applicable or (2) defend or maintain the validity or priority of the Administrative Agent’s Liens in any US Collateral or German Collateral, as applicable, including any payment of a judgment,
insurance premium, warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien; provided that the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to notify the Lead Borrower prior to paying any such
amount or taking any such action and shall not make payment of any item that is being contested in good faith by any Borrower or any other Group Member. 

SECTION 2.11 Prepayment of Loans. 

(a) The applicable Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without
premium or penalty. 
 (b) In the event that (i) the total Aggregate Exposure at any time exceeds the lesser of the Aggregate
Commitments and the Aggregate Borrowing base at such time or (ii) the US Exposure at any time exceeds the US Borrowing Base (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any decrease to the US Borrowing Base as a result of a Specified Tax Event) or
(iii) the German Exposure at any time exceeds the German Sublimit (an event described in clause (i), (ii), or (iii) an “Overadvance”), the Borrowers shall, immediately after demand by the
Administrative Agent (or, if such Overadvance is due to the imposition of new Reserves, a change in the methodology of calculating existing Reserves, any other act taken by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in the exercise of
Permitted Discretion or the occurrence of an Exchange Rate Determination Date or a Reset Date, within two Business Days following demand, it being understood that such demand may be given concurrently with any notice given under the definition of
Permitted Discretion), apply an amount sufficient to eliminate such Overadvance to prepay the Aggregate Exposure, the US Exposure or the German Exposure, as applicable, in the following order: first, to repay or prepay Swingline Loans,
second, to repay or prepay Loans other than Swingline Loans, and third, to Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(j) (it being understood that any
Overadvance pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition thereof shall be applied to US Exposure in respect of the foregoing). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may forbear from requiring the applicable Borrowers to cure an
Overadvance resulting from the total Aggregate Exposure exceeding the Aggregate Borrowing Base (but not the Aggregate Commitments) or the US Exposure exceeding the US Borrowing Base (but not the Aggregate Commitments) or the German Exposure
exceeding the German Sublimit, as applicable, (a “Permitted Overadvance”), and may require the Lenders to honor requests for Loans notwithstanding a resulting Overadvance (a “Permitted Overadvance Loan”), (A) when
no Event of Default is known to the Administrative Agent, as long as (1) the applicable Overadvance does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days and (2) the aggregate amount of all Overadvances and Protective Advances is not known
by the Administrative Agent to exceed 10% of the Aggregate Borrowing Base (or, with respect to any such Loan made to a US Borrower, 10% of the US Borrowing Base) and (B) in the case of a Permitted Overadvance, regardless of whether an Event of
Default exists, if the Administrative Agent discovers an Overadvance not previously known by it to exist, as long as from the date of such discovery the Overadvance does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days. In no event shall Permitted
Overadvance Loans be required that would cause the total Aggregate Exposure to exceed the Aggregate Commitments. The existence of any Permitted Overadvance, and the making of any Permitted Overadvance Loan, shall not create nor constitute a Default
or Event of Default. In no event shall any Borrower be permitted to require any Loan that would result in an Overadvance to be made. 

  
 127 













 (c) Prior to any optional prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Lead Borrower shall select
the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in a written notice of such prepayment to the Administrative Agent (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed thereafter by delivery of a written notice) delivered in
accordance with clause (d) below (the “Notice of Prepayment”). In the absence of a designation by the Lead Borrower as described in the preceding provisions of this clause (c) of the Type of Borrowing of any
Class, the Administrative Agent shall make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.16. 

(d) The Lead Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any optional prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(a) by delivering a
Notice of Prepayment to the Administrative Agent (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment and (ii) in the case of prepayment
of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment (or in each case, such shorter period as agreed between the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent). Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall
specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that a notice of optional prepayment may state that such notice is conditional upon the effectiveness of other transactions, in
which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked or its effectiveness deferred by the Lead Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following
receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type
as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be
accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13. At the Lead Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.11, such prepayment shall not be applied to any Loan of
a Defaulting Lender and shall be allocated ratably among the relevant non-Defaulting Lenders. 

SECTION 2.12 Fees. 
 (a)
Commitment Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for the account of each Lender commitment fees for the period from and including the Closing Date to and excluding the Maturity Date equal to (A) the
average of the daily difference between (1) the Aggregate Commitments and (2) the sum of (I) the aggregate principal Dollar Equivalent of all outstanding Loans (excluding any Swingline Loans) plus (II) the LC Usage
times (B) the Applicable Commitment Fee. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Commitments, as applicable, terminate,
commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last
day). 
 (b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for the account of
each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Loans on the daily available balance of such
Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to and excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates
and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Aggregate Exposure and (ii) to each Issuing Bank in Dollars a fronting fee, which shall accrue at 0.125% per annum on the average daily aggregate amount of


  
 128 













 
the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including
the Closing Date to and excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s reasonable and customary fees with respect to the issuance,
amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued up to, but not including the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on
such last Business Day of each such month, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the
date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.12(b) shall be payable within 30 days after written demand (accompanied by reasonable back-up documentation therefor). All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day). 
 (c) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and
at the times separately agreed upon between the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid
on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to an Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Except
as may otherwise be separately agreed between the Borrowers and the Person entitled thereto, fees paid hereunder shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to Section 2.22, the applicable Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any amounts
to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12; provided that any participation fees that would otherwise be payable to a Defaulting Lender under Section 2.12(b) shall, to the extent the LC Exposure of such Defaulting
Lender shall have been reallocated pursuant to Section 2.22(a)(iv), be paid to the non-Defaulting Lenders in respect of the amounts of such LC Exposure for which they shall be liable from time to
time. 
 SECTION 2.13 Interest. 

(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing, including US Swingline Loans, shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the
Applicable Rate. German Swingline Loans shall bear interest at the rate provided for in Section 2.05 plus the Applicable Rate. 

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for the Interest Period then in
effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01(a) or 7.01(b) hereof, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any premium or fee payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated
maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, the relevant overdue amount shall bear interest, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of any
overdue principal or interest of any Loan, 2.00% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.13 or (ii) in the case of any other overdue amount, 2.00%
per annum plus the rate applicable to the Loans that are ABR Loans as provided in clause (a) of this Section 2.13; provided that no amount shall be payable pursuant to this Section 2.13(c) to a
Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting 

  
 129 













 
Lender; provided, further, that no amounts shall accrue pursuant to this Section 2.13(c) on any reimbursement obligation in respect of any LC Disbursement or other
amount payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender (it being understood that interest on such amounts shall accrue at the non-default rates otherwise applicable thereto).

 (d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the
Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 2.13 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of
(i) a Swingline Loan or (ii) an ABR Loan), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior
to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 

(e) All computations of interest for ABR Loans 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 shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies
as to which generally accepted market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such generally accepted market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any
portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest
rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 (f) For the purposes of the Interest
Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid under any Loan Documents is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day or 365-day
year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent to the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or 365, as
applicable. 
 (g) Each of the Canadian Loan Parties confirms that it fully understands and is able to calculate the rate of interest
applicable to the Credit Facilities under this Agreement based on the methodology for calculating per annum rates provided for in this Agreement. The Administrative Agent agrees that if requested in writing by a Borrower it will calculate the
nominal and effective per annum rate of interest on any Borrowing outstanding at the time of such request and provide such information to such Borrower promptly following such request; provided that any error in any such calculation, or any failure
to provide such information on request, shall not relieve the Borrowers or any other Canadian Loan Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor result in any liability to the Administrative Agent or any
Lender. Each Canadian Loan Party hereby irrevocably agrees not to plead or assert, whether by way of defence or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to the Loan Documents, that the interest payable under the Loan Documents and the calculation
thereof has not been adequately disclosed to the Canadian Loan Parties, whether pursuant to section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) or any other applicable law or legal principle. 

(h) Any provision of this Agreement that would oblige a Canadian Loan Party to pay any fine, penalty or rate of interest on any arrears of
principal or interest secured by a mortgage on real property or hypothec on immovables that has the effect of increasing the charge on arrears beyond the rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears shall not apply to such Canadian
Loan Party, which shall be required to pay interest on money in arrears at the same rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears. 

  
 130 













 (i) If any provision of this Agreement would oblige any Borrower or any other Canadian Loan
Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by applicable Requirements of Law or would result in a receipt by that Lender of “interest” at a
“criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of
interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable Requirements of Law or so result in a receipt by that Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate.” 

SECTION 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest. 

(a) If at least two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing: 

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable (including because a Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for the applicable currency and/or such Interest
Period; or 
 (ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or
Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable, for the applicable currency and/or such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for the applicable currency
and/or such Interest Period, 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to the Lead Borrower and the Lenders by hand delivery,
facsimile or other electronic transmission as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Lead Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest
Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective and (A) such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing and the utilization of the
Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the Alternate Base Rate shall be suspended on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including with respect to applicable Loans not denominated in Dollars, until an acceptable alternative
rate is established) and (B) if denominated in Euros, an Approved Foreign Currency or Alternative Currency, the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Majority in Interest of the applicable Class shall establish a mutually
acceptable alternative rate and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, then (A) if denominated in Dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing and the utilization of the Eurocurrency Rate component in
determining the Alternate Base Rate shall be suspended and (B) if denominated in an Approved Foreign Currency or Alternative Currency, such Borrowing shall bear interest by reference to an acceptable alternative rate mutually established by the
Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (or, if no such alternative rate can be established, such Borrowing Request shall be deemed ineffective); provided, however, (x) that, in each case, the Lead Borrower may
revoke any Borrowing Request that is pending when such notice is received and (y) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings and/or one currency, then the other Type of Borrowings and/or currencies shall
be permitted. 
 (b) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) in
consultation with the Lead Borrower that either (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a) of this Section 2.14 have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be 

  
 131 













 
temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a) of this Section 2.14 have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the Eurocurrency Rate or a
Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Eurocurrency Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans (in the case of
either such clause (i) or (ii), an “Alternative Interest Rate Election Event”), the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Eurocurrency Rate (including any
mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for leveraged syndicated loans in the United States at such
time (or, if no such prevailing market convention for a currency other than Dollars exists in the United States at such time, the then prevailing market convention for determining such rate of interest in the jurisdiction of such currency), and
shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest (the “Successor Rate”) and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable, as mutually determined in good faith by the
Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower (but, for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction to the Applicable Rate). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02, such amendment shall
become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. To the extent an alternate rate of interest is adopted as contemplated hereby, the approved rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with prevailing
market convention; provided that, to the extent such prevailing market convention is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such approved rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise mutually determined in good faith by
the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Successor Rate has not otherwise been established pursuant to this clause (b), after the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent have reached such a
determination, the Lead Borrower and the Required Lenders may select a different alternate rate as long as it is reasonably practicable for the Administrative Agent to administer such different rate and, upon not less than 15 Business Days’
prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and the Lead Borrower shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this
Agreement as may be applicable and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. Until an alternate rate of
interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b), (x) any request by the Lead Borrower for a Eurocurrency Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 shall (I) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, be deemed to be a
request for an ABR Borrowing and (II) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in an Approved Foreign Currency or an Alternative Currency, be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing of Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of
such Approved Foreign Currency or Alternative Currency, as applicable, (y) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective and
(z) any affected Borrowing shall (I) if denominated in Dollars, be converted to an ABR Borrowing on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (without imposition of any fees or costs pursuant to Section 2.16) and
(II) if denominated in Euros, an Approved Foreign Currency or an Alternative Currency, be deemed to be an ABR Borrowing and shall accrue interest on the basis of the Alternate Base Rate (as though a Loan outstanding in Dollars), commencing on
the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 SECTION 2.15 Increased Costs. 

(a) 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 

  
 132 













 of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any Issuing Bank (except any such reserve
requirement reflected in the relevant Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate); or 
 (ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the
London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than with respect to Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or 

(iii) subject the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to any Taxes on its Loans, Letters of Credit,
Commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; 
 and the result of any of
the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or of observing or performing its
obligations under any Loan Document) or to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or issue any
Letter of Credit) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), in each case in an amount deemed by such affected Person
to be material, then, from time to time upon request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank contemplated by clause (c) below, the applicable Borrowers will pay (or cause to be paid) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender
or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such increased costs actually incurred or reduction actually suffered,
provided that the Borrowers shall not be liable for such compensation if (x) the relevant Change in Law is publicly announced or occurs on or prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto, (y) such Lender invokes
Section 2.23 or (z) in the case of requests for reimbursement under clause (ii) above resulting from a market disruption, (A) the relevant circumstances are not generally affecting the banking market or (B) the
applicable request has not been made by Lenders constituting Required Lenders; provided, further, that to the extent any such costs or reductions are incurred by any Lender as a result of any requests, rules, guidelines or directives
enacted or promulgated under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 or Basel III, then such Lender shall be compensated pursuant to this Section 2.15(a) only to the extent such Lender is imposing such
charges on similarly situated borrowers where the terms of other syndicated credit facilities permit it to impose such charges. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph will not apply to (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Other Taxes or
(C) Excluded Taxes. 
 (b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements
has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or
participations in Letters of Credit by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but
for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then, from time to
time upon request of such Lender or Issuing Bank contemplated by clause (c) below, the applicable Borrowers will pay or cause to be paid to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction actually suffered. 

  
 133 













 (c) Any Lender or Issuing Bank requesting compensation under this Section 2.15
shall be required to deliver a certificate to the Lead Borrower, (i) setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company in reasonable detail, as the case may be, as specified in
clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.15, (ii) setting forth, in reasonable detail, the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined and (iii) certifying that such Lender or Issuing Bank is generally
charging such amounts to similarly situated borrowers, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrowers shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate
within 30 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to
this Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to
this Section 2.15 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Lead Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive,
then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

SECTION 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the
last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow,
convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(f) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or
(d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Lead Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19 or Section 9.02(c), then, in any
such event, the applicable Borrowers shall, after receipt of a written request by any Lender affected by any such event (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), compensate each Lender for the actual
loss, cost and expense incurred by such Lender attributable to such event (other than loss of profit). Any Lender requesting compensation under this Section 2.16 shall be required to deliver a certificate to the Lead Borrower setting
forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16, the basis therefor and, in reasonable detail, the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined, which certificate shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt of such demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.16 will not apply
to losses, costs or expenses resulting from (i) the revocation by the Borrowers of a Borrowing Request pursuant to Section 2.14(a) or the occurrence of any Alternative Interest Rate Election Event and (ii) Taxes, as to which
Section 2.17 shall govern. 
 SECTION 2.17 Taxes. 

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and
without deduction for any Taxes; provided that if the applicable Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable Requirements of Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable Withholding Agent) to deduct any Taxes from
such payments, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deductions, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable Requirements of Law and (iii) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the amount payable by the applicable Loan Party, as may be relevant, shall be increased as

necessary so that after such deductions have been made (including deductions applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.17) the Lender (or, in the case of a payment
received by the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made. 

(b) Without limiting the provisions of clause (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with Requirements of Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 

(c) The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full
amount of any Indemnified Taxes payable or paid by, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or
asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Lead Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) As soon
as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of
a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment and a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(e) Each Lender shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower
or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law and such other documentation reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent (i) as will permit
such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding or (ii) as will enable the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting
requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.17(e)(1)-(3) below) shall not be
required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Each
Lender shall, whenever a lapse of time or change in circumstances renders such documentation obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any respect, deliver promptly to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate
documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. Each Lender hereby
authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.17. 

Without limiting the foregoing: 

(1) Each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall
deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this 

  
 135 













 
Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent) two properly completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding. 
 (2) Each
Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and
from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable: 

(A) two properly completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms), as applicable, claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, establishing an
exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax (i) pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document and (ii) pursuant to the “business
profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, 

(B) two properly completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor
forms), 
 (C) in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under
Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) two properly completed and duly signed certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1,
F-2, F-3 and F-4, as applicable, (any such certificate, a “US Tax Compliance Certificate”)
and (y) two properly completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms), as
applicable, 
 (D) to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership or a
participating Lender), two properly completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied by an IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS
Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, US Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8IMY or any other required information (or any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 2.17(e) if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable
(provided that, if the Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the US Tax Compliance Certificate
may be provided by such Lender on behalf of such direct or indirect partner(s)), 
 (E) in the case of a Lender that
receives payments with respect to the Loans through a nominee that is a “qualified intermediary” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(e)(5)(ii), either (I) two properly
completed and duly signed copies of an IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form) and any attachments thereto by the nominee 

  
 136 













 
(A) confirming its qualified intermediary status, (B) designating the accounts of such Lender for which the qualified intermediary acts as a qualified intermediary and (C) certifying
that it assumes primary responsibility for withholding under Chapters 3 and 4 of the Code and for IRS Form 1099 reporting and backup withholding with respect to such Lender, or (II) two properly completed and duly signed copies of an IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form) and any attachments thereto by the nominee confirming its qualified intermediary status and any other information (e.g., IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form
W-8BEN-E of such Lender) that it is required to provide under the applicable Treasury Regulations, or 

(F) two properly completed and duly signed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws as a
basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Requirements of
Law to permit the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 

(3) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if
such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative
Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law (including as prescribed by
Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their
obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this
clause (3), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date. 
 (4) The
Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Lead Borrower two executed originals of whichever of the following is applicable: 

(A) if the Administrative Agent is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the
Code, a properly completed and duly signed copy of IRS Form W-9 certifying to such Administrative Agent’s exemption from U.S. federal backup withholding or 

(B) if the Administrative Agent is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of
the Code, (i) a properly completed and duly signed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to payments received for its own account and (ii) a properly 


  
 137 













 
completed and duly signed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of others, certifying
that it is a U.S. branch of a foreign bank or insurance company described in Regulations section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)(A) that is a participating FFI (including a reporting Model 2 FFI), registered
deemed-compliant FFI (including a reporting Model 1 FFI), or NFFE or entity otherwise exempt from FATCA withholding that is using this form as evidence of its agreement with the withholding agent to be treated as a U.S. person with respect to any
payments associated with this withholding certificate. 
 The Administrative Agent agrees that if any form or certification it previously
delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Lead Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this clause (e), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form or other documentation that
such Lender is not legally able to deliver. 
 (f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines in its good faith discretion that it
has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such
refund to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees promptly to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.17(f)
(plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. The Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall, at Holdings’ request, provide Holdings with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant
taxing authority (provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender may delete any information therein that the Administrative Agent or such Lender deems confidential). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) in no event will
the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount pursuant to this clause (f) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or Lender, as applicable, in a less favorable net
after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the
indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid and (ii) this Section 2.17(f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or
any other information relating to Taxes which it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person. 
 (g) Each party’s
obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

  
 138 













 (h) VAT. 

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

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

(A) (where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must
also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Recipient must (where this paragraph (A) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or
repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and 

(B) (where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must
promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant
tax authority in respect of that VAT. 
 (iii) Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Secured
Party for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Secured Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Secured Party
reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority. 

(iv) Any reference in this SECTION 2.17(h) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group
(including but not limited to any fiscal unities) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply under
the grouping rules. 
 (v) In relation to any supply made by a Secured Party to any party under a Loan Document, if
reasonably requested by such Secured Party, that party must promptly provide such Secured Party with details of that party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Secured Party’s VAT
reporting requirements in relation to such supply. 

  
 139 













 (vi) Notwithstanding this Section 2.17(h) no Borrower shall be
required to pay any German VAT under the German VAT Act (Umsatzsteuergesetz) if such VAT is solely due because a Secured Party has voluntarily opted to subject a payment to VAT, unless such Borrower is able to claim a deduction or credit of such VAT
as input VAT. 
 (i) For purposes of this Section 2.17 and the indemnity set forth in Article VIII, the
term “Lender” shall include any Issuing Bank and “applicable Requirements of Law” shall include FATCA. 
 SECTION 2.18
Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. 
 (a) Unless otherwise specified, the Borrowers shall make each payment
required to be made by them under any Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees, or reimbursement of LC Disbursements or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, Section 2.16 or Section 2.17, or otherwise)
prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without
setoff or counterclaim (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.17). Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business
Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to such account as may be specified by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender shall be made as
expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Section 2.15, Section 2.16, Section 2.17 and Section 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to
other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If
any payment (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans) under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan
becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event
such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate for the period of such extension.
All payments or prepayments of any Loan or LC Disbursement (or of interest thereon) shall be made in the currency in which such Loan or LC Disbursement is denominated (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof), and all other payments under each Loan
Document shall be made in Dollars. If, for any reason, the Borrowers are prohibited by any Requirements of Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Approved Foreign Currency, the Borrowers shall make such payment in Dollars in an amount
equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Approved Foreign Currency payment amount. 
 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by
and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied in the manner set forth in Section 7.03. 

(c) 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 of a given Class or participations in Swingline Loans or LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans of such Class or participations
in Swingline Loans or LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender with outstanding Loans of the same Class or participations in Swingline Loans or LC Disbursements, then the Lender receiving
such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the 

  
 140 













 
Loans of such Class or participations in Swingline Loans or LC Disbursements of other Lenders of such Class at such time outstanding to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all
such payments shall be shared by the Lenders of such Class ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans of such Class or participations in Swingline Loans or LC
Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of
such recovery, without interest and (ii) the provisions of this clause (c) shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement
(including the application of funds arising from existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for any permitted assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Swingline
Loans or LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, including any payment made or deemed made in connection with Sections 2.21, 2.22 or 9.02 or (C) any disproportionate payment obtained by a Lender of any
Class as a result of the extension by Lenders of the maturity date or expiration date of some but not all Loans or Commitments of that Class or any increase in the Applicable Rate in respect of Loans of Lenders that have consented to any
such extension. The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under applicable Requirements of Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against
the Borrowers’ rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation. 

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and
may, in reliance upon such assumption and in its sole discretion, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or
Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is
distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) if such amount is denominated in Dollars, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) if such amount is denominated in an Approved Foreign Currency or any Alternative Currency, the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be its cost of funding such
amount. 
 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(a),
Section 2.06(b), Section 2.18(d) or Section 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and in the order determined by the Administrative Agent (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof),
(i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such
amounts in a segregated account as Cash Collateral for, and to be applied to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section. 

SECTION 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, (ii) any Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount
to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 or (iii) any event gives rise to the operation of Section 2.23, then the applicable Lender shall use reasonable efforts
to designate a different lending office for funding or 

  
 141 













 
booking its Loans hereunder or its participation in any Letter of Credit affected by such event, or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches
or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation (x) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 2.17 or mitigate the
applicability of Section 2.23, as the case may be and (y) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material and would not be inconsistent with the internal policies of,
or otherwise be disadvantageous in any material economic, legal or regulatory respect to, such Lender. 
 (b) If (i) any Lender
requests compensation under Section 2.15 or gives notice under Section 2.23, (ii) any Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant
to Section 2.17 or (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (x) terminate the applicable Commitments of
such Lender, and repay all Loan Document Obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Lender relating to the applicable Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date under one or more Credit Facilities as the Borrowers may
elect or (y) require such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender shall be obligated to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests,
rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment and delegation); provided that
(A) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to the extent such consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable (and each
Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender), which consents, in each case, shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and unreimbursed
participations in Swingline Loans and LC Disbursements, accrued but unpaid interest thereon, accrued but unpaid fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee or the Borrowers, (C) the Borrowers or such assignee shall have
paid (unless waived) to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b)(ii) and (D) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15
or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a
result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender under clause (a) above), the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. No
action or consent by the applicable Lender shall otherwise be required in connection with any assignment referred to above, which assignment shall be immediate and automatically effective upon the satisfaction of the foregoing conditions. Each
Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority
in the place and stead of such Lender and in the name of such Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, with prior written notice to such Lender, to take any action and to execute any such assignment or other
instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Section 2.19(b). 

SECTION 2.20 Incremental Loans and Commitments. 

(a) The Borrowers may at any time or from time to time (on one or more occasions) after the Closing Date, pursuant to an Incremental Facility
Amendment (i) add one or more increases in the amount of the Commitments of any Class (each such increase, an “Incremental Commitment Increase”) and (ii) add one or more additional Classes of revolving credit facility
commitments (the 

  
 142 













 
“Additional/Replacement Commitments” and, together with the Incremental Commitment Increases, the “Incremental Facilities”); provided that at the time of
incurrence of any such Incremental Facility (or, in the case of a “last-out” Incremental Facility the proceeds of which are to be used to consummate a Limited Condition Transaction, at the applicable
time of determination in accordance with Section 1.09(a)), (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (B) the representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Loan Documents shall be true and
correct in all material respects at such time (subject, in the case of any “last-out” Incremental Facility the proceeds of which are to be used to consummate a Limited Condition Transaction, to
customary “Sungard” or “certain funds” limitations); provided that, to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier time, they shall be true and correct in all material respects as
of such earlier time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Facilities that can be incurred at any time shall not exceed the Incremental Cap at such time. Each Incremental Facility shall
be in a minimum principal amount (as applicable) of $10,000,000 or €8,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 or €750,000 in excess thereof (unless the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise agree); provided that
the principal amount may be less than such amount or integral multiple if such amount represents all the remaining availability under the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Facilities set forth above. 

(b) [Reserved]. 
 (c) (i)
Any Incremental Commitment Increase shall be treated the same as the Class of Commitments being increased (including with respect to maturity date thereof) and shall be considered to be part of the Class of Commitments being increased (it
being understood that, if required to consummate an Incremental Commitment Increase, the pricing, interest rate margins, rate floors and facility fees (or undrawn commitment fees) on the Class of Commitments being increased may be increased and
additional upfront or similar fees may be payable to the lenders providing the Incremental Commitment Increase (without any requirement to pay such fees to any existing Lenders of such Class of Commitments)). 

(ii) Any Additional/Replacement Commitments shall be permitted solely to the extent constituting a “last-out” tranche (which may be in the form of term loans), and may have terms customary for such tranches as determined by the Lead Borrower in good faith, and in any event (A) shall not mature
earlier than the then-existing Latest Maturity Date and shall require no amortization or mandatory commitment reduction prior to the then-existing Latest Maturity Date, (B) shall have interest rates (including through fixed interest rates),
interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, facility fees (or undrawn commitment fees), funding discounts, original issue discounts, prepayment terms and premiums and commitment reduction and termination terms as determined by the Borrowers and the
lenders of such commitments, (C) subject to clause (A) above, shall contain borrowing, repayment and termination of Commitment mechanics and procedures as determined by the Borrowers and the lenders of such commitments and
acceptable to the Administrative Agent (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (D) with respect to the “waterfall” provisions thereof governing the repayment of such Additional/Replacement Commitments,
shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (E) may otherwise have terms and conditions different from those of any existing Class (including currency
denomination). 
 (d) [Reserved]. 

  
 143 













 (e) Commitments in respect of Incremental Commitment Increases and Additional/Replacement
Commitments shall become Commitments (or in the case of an Incremental Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Lender with a Commitment of such Class, an increase in such Lender’s Commitment of such Class) under this Agreement
pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrowers, each Lender or Additional Lender, if any, agreeing to provide such Commitment
(it being agreed that any Person other than a Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment shall meet the requirements set forth in the definition of “Additional Lender”), and the Administrative Agent. Each loan under Incremental Commitment
Increases and Additional/Replacement Commitments shall be a “Loan” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Incremental Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.20 (including, without limitation, to modify the
terms of this Agreement to appropriately incorporate additional currency mechanics, additional revolving or letter of credit facility mechanics (including those related to payments, prepayments, purchases of participations and reallocation
mechanisms) and other provisions and commitment schedules relating to revolving or letter of credit facilities generally). The effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Amendment and the occurrence of any Credit Extension pursuant to such
Incremental Facility Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as the parties thereto shall agree (subject to the provisions of this Section 2.20). The Borrowers will use the proceeds of the Incremental Commitment
Increases and Additional/Replacement Commitments for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including the financing of acquisitions permitted hereunder and other Investments, permitted Restricted Payments and any other purpose not
prohibited by this Agreement. 
 (f) Incremental Facilities may be provided by any existing Lender (in its sole discretion), or, subject to
(i) the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if such consent would be required under Section 9.04 for assignments or participations of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to the relevant
person and (ii) in the case of any Incremental Commitment Increase or Additional/Replacement Commitments, the consent of each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender (in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if such consent would

(g) Each Lender or Additional Lender providing a portion of any Incremental Facility shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and
the Borrowers all such documentation (including the relevant Incremental Facility Amendment) as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to evidence and effectuate such Incremental Facility. On the effective date of such Incremental
Facility, each Additional Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes in connection with this Agreement. 
 (h) The Lenders hereby
irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any Incremental Facility Amendment and/or any amendment to any other Loan Document as may be necessary or appropriate in order to establish new Classes or
sub-Classes in respect of Loans or Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.20 and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent
and the Borrowers in connection with the establishment of such new Classes or sub-Classes, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.20.

 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 2.20 shall supersede
any provisions in Section 2.18 or Section 9.02 to the contrary. 
 SECTION 2.21 [Reserved]. 

SECTION 2.22 Defaulting Lenders. 

(a) General. 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 Requirements of Law: 

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or
consent with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and Section 9.02(d). 

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative
Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 9.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent and, where relevant, the Lead Borrower, as follows: (A) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to
the Administrative Agent hereunder; (B) second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Swingline Lender and each Lender and Issuing Bank, as applicable, hereunder; (C) third, if so
reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent or reasonably requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, to Cash Collateralize Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure of each Issuing Bank with respect to that Defaulting Lender; (D) fourth, as the
Lead Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default is continuing), 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; (E) fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement;
(F) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the non-Defaulting Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any non-Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; (G) seventh, so long
as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that
Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and (H) eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal
amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements and such Lender is a Defaulting Lender under clause (a) of the definition thereof, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the relevant Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, the relevant non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Exposure of, such 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 2.22 or Section 2.04(j) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and
each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 

  
 145 













 (iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be
entitled to receive or accrue any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.12(a) while that Lender is a Defaulting Lender and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit fees as provided in Section 2.12(e).

 (iv) 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 and Swingline Loans pursuant to
Section 2.04 and Section 2.05, the “Applicable Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender;
provided that the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall not at any time exceed the positive
difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate LC Exposure and
SwinglineAggregate Exposure of that Lender; provided that no reallocation hereunder shall
constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from such Defaulting Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting
Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. If the reallocation provided for in the preceding sentence cannot, or can only partially, be effected,
the applicable Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Requirements of Law (A) first, prepay the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure that has not been
reallocated in accordance herewith and (B) second, Cash Collateralize for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Banks the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure that has not been reallocated in accordance herewith, for so long as
such unreallocated LC Exposure is outstanding. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce LC Exposure shall be released promptly following (A) the elimination of the applicable LC Exposure (including by the
termination of the Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 2.19)) or (B) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess
cash collateral (including as a result of any subsequent reallocation of Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure among non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with this clause (iv)). 

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline 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), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the
Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages
(without giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of
the applicable 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. 

SECTION 2.23 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful or not possible in practice, or that any
Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing 

  
 146 













 
Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates
based upon the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Lead Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make, continue or charge interest with respect to any Eurocurrency Loans or to
convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended (and, if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender’s making or maintaining ABR Loans, the interest rate of which is determined by reference to clause (c) of the definition
of “Alternate Base Rate”, the interest rate with respect to such ABR Loans shall, to the extent necessary to avoid illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of
“Alternate Base Rate”) until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable Borrowers
shall, upon three Business Days’ notice from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, at the Lead Borrower’s election, without regard to underlying currency, convert all Eurocurrency Loans of such Lender to ABR
Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans (in
which case the Borrowers shall not be required to make payments pursuant to Section 2.16 in connection with such payment) and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the
Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, during the period of such suspension, compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate component thereof until the
Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the
Lead Borrower in writing promptly upon becoming aware that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrowers
shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, but shall not be required to make payments pursuant to Section 2.16. 

SECTION 2.24 Loan Modification Offers. 

(a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Lead Borrower may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (or
telephonic notice promptly confirmed thereafter by delivery of a written notice), make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders of one or more Classes (each Class subject to such a Loan
Modification Offer, an “Affected Class”) to effect one or more Permitted Amendments relating to such Affected Class pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Lead
Borrower (including mechanics to permit cashless rollovers and exchanges by Lenders). Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is
requested to become effective. Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Lenders of the Affected Class that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the
“Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and Commitments of such Affected Class as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made. A Permitted Amendment
shall be effected pursuant to a Loan Modification Agreement executed and delivered by the Lead Borrower, each applicable Accepting Lender and the Administrative Agent; provided that no Permitted Amendment shall become effective unless the
Lead Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates and officer’s certificates as shall be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection
therewith, in each case substantially in the form delivered on the Closing Date (with appropriate modification thereto to reflect the nature of the Loan Modification Offer). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the
effectiveness 

  
 147 













 
of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each Loan Modification Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Accepting 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 give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.24, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or
Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as a new “Class” of loans and/or commitments hereunder. 
 (b) If, in connection with any
proposed Loan Modification Offer, any Lender declines to consent to such Loan Modification Offer on the terms and by the deadline set forth in such Loan Modification Offer (each such Lender, a
“Non-Accepting Lender”) then the Borrowers may, on notice to the Administrative Agent and the Non-Accepting Lender, (i) replace such Non-Accepting Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04)
all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Loans and Commitments of the Affected Class to one or more Eligible Assignees (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such
assignment) or (ii) terminate the applicable Commitments of such Lender and prepay such Non-Accepting Lender; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation
to the Lead Borrower to find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that (1) the applicable assignee shall have agreed to provide Loans and/or Commitments on the terms set forth in the applicable Permitted Amendment,
(2) such Non-Accepting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of the Loans of the Affected Class assigned by it pursuant to this
Section 2.24(b), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) and (3) unless waived, the
applicable Borrowers or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b). Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such
appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Non-Accepting Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the
place and stead of such Non-Accepting Lender and in the name of such Non-Accepting Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, with prior
written notice to such Lender, to take any action and to execute any such assignment or other instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Section 2.24(b). 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 2.24 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or
Section 9.02 to the contrary. 
 SECTION 2.25 Lead Borrower. Each Borrower hereby designates the Lead Borrower as its
representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents relating to Borrowing Requests, Letter of Credit Requests and designation of interest rates and for all other purposes under the Loan Documents, including delivery or receipt of
communications, preparation and delivery of Borrowing Base Certificates and financial reports, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all
other dealings with the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Swingline Lender or any other Lender. The Lead Borrower hereby accept such appointments. The Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Swingline Lender and the Lenders shall be
entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, (i) any Borrowing Request, Letter of Credit Request, designation of interest rate, instructions for receipt of Borrowings and payment of Loan Document Obligations delivered by
the Lead Borrower on behalf of the applicable Borrowers and (ii) any other notice or communication delivered by the Lead Borrower on behalf of any Borrower. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may give any notice or communication with a
Borrower hereunder to the Lead Borrower on behalf of such Borrower. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal 

  
 148 













 
exclusively with the Lead Borrower with respect to Borrowing Requests, Letter of Credit Requests and designation of interest rates, and the Lead Borrower for any or all other purposes under the
Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that any notice, election, communication, representation, agreement or undertaking made on its behalf by the Lead Borrower, in each case, consistent with the foregoing provisions, shall be binding upon and
enforceable against it.

provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the terms of the proviso to clause (f) of Section 4.01 and all Collateral delivered after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 5.11) and the other
relevant Loan Documents, the Security Documents create (or will create upon registration in the applicable public registry set forth in the applicable Security Document, and within the time period specified in the applicable Security Document)
legal, valid and enforceable Liens on all of the Collateral described therein in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself and the other Secured Parties, subject to the Legal Reservations. Upon the satisfaction of the applicable

 SECTION 5.06 Maintenance of Properties. Each of the Borrowers and each other Group Member will keep and maintain all tangible
property necessary and material to its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear and casualty and condemnation excepted, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. In the event of the Release of any Hazardous Material on any real property of the Lead Borrower or any other Group Member which is in violation of Environmental Laws, each of any Borrower and each other Group
Member will (i) take, reasonably promptly after discovery thereof and solely to the extent required under applicable Environmental Laws, all reasonable and necessary steps to perform any response, corrective and other action to mitigate or
eliminate any such violation and (ii) keep the Administrative Agent reasonably informed of their actions and the results of such actions as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request (provided that the failure to do so shall not
constitute a Default hereunder), except in the case of each of (i) and (ii) where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect; provided further, however, that
none of the Lead Borrower or any Group Member shall be required to undertake 

  
 162 













 any such response, corrective or other action to the extent that its obligation to do so is being contested
in good faith and by proper proceedings and appropriate reserves are being maintained with respect to such circumstances in accordance with GAAP. 

SECTION 5.07 Insurance. Except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each of
the Borrowers and each other Group Member will maintain (or cause to be maintained), with insurance companies that the Lead Borrower or such other Group Member believes (in the good faith judgment of the management of the Lead Borrower or such other
Group Member) are financially sound and responsible at the time the relevant coverage is placed or renewed, insurance in at least such amounts (after giving effect to any self-insurance which the Borrowers or such other Group Member believes (in the
good faith judgment of management of such Borrower or such other Group Member) is reasonable and prudent in light of the size and nature of its business) and against at least such risks (and with such risk retentions) as the Borrowers or such other
Group Member believes (in the good faith judgment of the management of such Borrower or such other Group Member) are reasonable and prudent in light of the size and nature of its business, and will furnish to the Lenders, upon written request from
the Administrative Agent, information presented in reasonable detail as to the insurance so carried. Subject to Section 5.13, each such policy of insurance maintained by a Loan Party shall, to the extent covering Collateral (excluding
any business interruption insurance, workers’ compensation policy or employee liability policy) and to the extent the Collateral Agent can be granted an insurable interest therein (or can be named as additional insured or lender’s loss
payee/mortgagee, as applicable, thereunder) and to the extent available from the relevant insurer after the Borrower’s use of commercially reasonable efforts, (i) in the case of each liability insurance policy, name the Collateral Agent,
on behalf of the Secured Parties, as an additional insured thereunder as its interests may appear and (ii) in the case of each property insurance policy, contain a lender’s loss payable/mortgagee clause or endorsement that names the
Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as the lender’s loss payee/mortgagee thereunder. 
 SECTION 5.08 Books and
Records; Inspection and Audit Rights. Subject in all respects to the limitations set forth in the final paragraph of Section 5.01: 

(a) Each of the Borrowers and each other Group Member will maintain proper books of record and account in which entries that are full, true and

conformity with GAAP (or applicable local standards). Subject in all respects to the limitations set forth in the final paragraph of Section 5.01, each of the Borrowers and each other Group Member will permit any representatives
designated by the Administrative Agent, upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect its properties at which the principal financial records and executive officers of the applicable Person are located, to examine and make extracts from its
books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its officers and independent accountants (subject to such accountants’ customary policies and procedures), all at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably
requested; provided that, only the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may exercise visitation and inspection rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Section 5.08(a) and shall exercise rights in
coordination with the field examination referred to in clause (b)(1) below and the Administrative Agent shall not exercise such rights more often than one time during any calendar year absent the existence of an Event of Default, which visitation
and inspection shall be at the reasonable expense of the Borrowers; provided, further, that (a) when an Event of Default exists and is continuing, the Administrative Agent (or any of its representatives or independent contractors)
may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the Borrowers at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice and (b) the 

  
 163 













 Administrative Agent shall give the Borrowers (or any other Group Member) the opportunity to be present at

$50,000,00062,500,000 for five consecutive Business Days, one additional field examination and one additional inventory appraisal in such twelve-month period and (3) at any time that a Specified ABL Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, additional field examinations and additional inventory appraisals as frequently as determined by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in their Permitted Discretion (it being understood that, unless a
Specified ABL Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in no event shall more than two field examinations and two inventory appraisals be permitted pursuant to this clause); provided that at the request of the Lead Borrower and
at the expense of the Borrowers, additional field examinations and inventory appraisals may be conducted. Each of the Borrowers shall permit any representatives designated by the Administrative Agent, upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and
inspect its properties and to examine and make extracts from its books and records, all at reasonable times during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice in connection with the exercise of the rights described in the foregoing
provisions of this clause (b); provided that (A) no such visit or inspection shall unduly interfere with the business or operations of any Borrower or Group Member, nor result in any damage to any property or other Collateral of
such Borrower or any other Group Member and (B) no inspection shall involve invasive testing without the prior written consent of the Lead Borrower. 

SECTION 5.09 Compliance with Laws. 

(a) Each of the Borrowers and each other Group Member will (i) comply in all material respects with Anti-Corruption Laws, Sanctions, and
Anti-Money Laundering Laws applicable to it and its property and (ii) maintain in effect policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance by the Lead Borrower and each other Group Member and their respective directors, officers,

the Borrowers and each other Group Member will not, and will not authorize any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives to, directly or indirectly, use any part of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit,
or otherwise make available such proceeds, directly or indirectly, to any Person, (i) for the purpose of financing the activities of any Person that, at the time of such financing, is a Sanctioned Person (except to the extent authorized by
applicable Requirements of Law) or (ii) in any other manner that would (x) constitute or give rise to a violation of Sanctions by or (y) reasonably be expected to result in the designation as a target of Sanctions of, Holdings, the
Borrowers, each other Group Member or, to the knowledge of Holdings or the Lead Borrower, any other party hereto, including any Lenders. 

(c) Each of the Borrowers and each other Group Member (i) will comply with all other Requirements of Law (including Environmental Laws,

(Außenwirtschaftsverordnung) in connection with the German Foreign Trade Law (Außenwirtschaftsgesetz)). 
 SECTION
5.10 Use of Proceeds and Letters of Credit. 
 (a) [Reserved]. 

(b) The proceeds of Loans shall be utilized (i) on the Closing Date, (A) to cash collateralize existing LC Instruments, (B) to
pay additional original issue discount or upfront fees in respect of the Credit Facilities, the First Lien Facilities or the Notes arising from market “flex” or “securities demand” actions, (C) for working capital needs and
(D) in an amount not to exceed $200,000,000 (together with the amount of any First Lien RC Facility Loans under the First Lien Credit Agreement) to fund working capital adjustments or purchase price adjustments under the Acquisition Agreement

 SECTION 5.11

Group Member that is a Delaware Divided LLC) or acquired after the Closing Date, unless such Subsidiary is an Excluded Subsidiary, the Lead Borrower will, on or prior to the date that is the latest of (i) 90 days after such formation or acquisition,
(ii) the date on which consolidated financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or Section 5.01(b) for the fiscal quarter in which such formation or acquisition occurs and
(iii) such later date as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably agree, notify the Administrative Agent of such formation or acquisition, as applicable, and take (or cause to be taken) all actions (if any) required to be taken with respect to
such newly formed or acquired Group Member in order to satisfy the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement with respect to such Group Member, the assets of such Group Member and with respect to any Equity Interest in or Indebtedness of such Group
Member owned by or on behalf of any Loan Party; provided that (i) any designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or any Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be an Excluded Subsidiary shall constitute the formation
or acquisition of a Restricted Subsidiary for purposes 

  
 165 













 of this Section 5.11 and (ii) any assets constituting Material Real Property shall be
subject to the provisions of clause (b) below. 
 (b) If, after the Closing Date, any Material Real Property is acquired by the

the Loan Parties. 
 SECTION 5.12 [Reserved]. 

SECTION 5.13 Certain Post-Closing Obligations. On or prior to the applicable date set forth on Schedule 5.13 or such later date
as the Administrative Agent (or, to the extent relating to Fixed Asset Priority Collateral, the administrative agent under the First Lien Facilities) reasonably agrees, the Borrowers shall deliver or cause to be delivered the documents or take the
actions specified on Schedule 5.13 that would have been required to be delivered or taken on the Closing Date but for the proviso to Section 4.01(f), in each case except to the extent otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to its authority as set forth in the definition of “Collateral and Guarantee Requirement”; provided that the foregoing shall, in all cases, be subject to the limitations set forth on Schedule 5.13 or otherwise set forth in
the applicable Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 5.14 Designation of Subsidiaries. The Lead Borrower (or, in the case of any Subsidiary of
Holdings that is not a Subsidiary of the Lead Borrower, Holdings) may at any time after the Closing Date designate (or subsequently re-designate) any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any
Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (a) immediately before and after giving effect to such designation on a Pro Forma Basis, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (b) no Subsidiary
shall be an Unrestricted Subsidiary unless it is also an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” for purposes of the First Lien Credit Agreement and the Notes Documents, (c) no Subsidiary shall be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if such
Subsidiary owns Intellectual Property that is material to the business of the Lead Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) and (d) to the extent such designation of a Loan Party as an Unrestricted Subsidiary results in a
decrease to the Aggregate Borrowing Base in excess of 10%, the Lead Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Base Certificate, recomputing the Aggregate Borrowing Base on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such
designation. The designation of any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Closing Date shall constitute an Investment by each relevant Group Member therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the Fair Market
Value of the net assets of such Subsidiary attributable to each relevant Group Member’s equity Investment therein as determined by the Lead Borrower in good faith. The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall
constitute (i) the incurrence at the time of designation of any Indebtedness or Liens of 

  
 166 













 such Subsidiary existing at such time (as applicable), (ii) a return on any Investment by each relevant
Group Member in Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the preceding sentence in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value as of the date of such designation of the net assets of such Subsidiary attributable to each relevant Group Member’s equity
Investment in such Subsidiary as determined by the Lead Borrower in good faith and (iii) the formation or acquisition of a Group Member for purposes of Section 5.11. 

SECTION 5.15 Change in Nature of Business. Each of the Lead Borrower and each other Group Member will engage only in material lines of

provided, however, that (a) Holdings may change its (and, in connection therewith, cause each other Group Member to change its) fiscal year-end to December 31 or other date reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and (b) any Group Member may change its fiscal year to the same fiscal year as Holdings, in which case, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent will, and
are hereby authorized by the Lenders to, make any adjustments to this Agreement that are necessary to reflect such change in fiscal year. 

SECTION 5.17 Cash Management. 

(a) With respect to each US Loan Party’s DDAs (other than Excluded Accounts), within 120 days (or such later date as the Administrative
Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) of the Closing Date or, if opened following the Closing Date, within the later of (x) 120 days of the Closing Date or (y) 30 days of the opening of such DDA (or such later date as the Administrative
Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) or, if acquired or assumed through a Permitted Acquisition after the Closing Date, within 120 days (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion), of the date any
Person that owns such DDA becomes a US Loan Party hereunder, (i) each US Loan Party shall ensure that all payments received from any Account Debtor with respect to Accounts shall be deposited into DDAs, or into Excluded Accounts, (ii) each
US Loan Party shall instruct (a “US DDA Instruction”) each bank or other depository institution that maintains a DDA (other than an Excluded Account) to cause all amounts on deposit and available at the close of each Business Day in
such DDA (net of any required minimum balance) to be swept to a concentration deposit account maintained by any US Loan Party (each, a “US Concentration Account”) and (iii) each US Loan Party shall obtain from each bank or
other depository institution that maintains a US Concentration Account a Deposit Account Control Agreement that provides for such bank or other depository institution, following its receipt of a Cash Dominion Notice (it being understood that the
Administrative Agent shall reasonably promptly deliver a copy of such Cash Dominion Notice to the Lead Borrower), to transfer to the US Dominion Account, on a daily basis, all balances in such US Concentration Account for application, subject to
clause (c) below, to the Loan Document Obligations then outstanding in accordance with Section 7.03 (the “US Sweep”); provided, that, following the termination of the Cash Dominion Period, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly instruct such bank or other depository institution to terminate the US Sweep. From and after the dates required as set forth above, the US Borrowers shall ensure that the foregoing provisions of clauses
(a)(i), (a)(ii) and (a)(iii) are satisfied in all material respects at all times. 
 (b) With respect to each German
Borrower’s DDAs (other than Excluded Accounts), within 120 days (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) of the 

  
 167 













 Closing Date or, if opened following the Closing Date, within the later of (x) 120 days of the Closing Date
or (y) 30 days of the opening of such DDA (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) or, if acquired or assumed through a Permitted Acquisition after the Closing Date, within 120 days (or such later date
as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion), of the date any Person that owns such DDA becomes a German Borrower hereunder, (i) each German Borrower shall ensure that all payments received from any Account Debtor with
respect to Accounts shall be deposited into DDAs, or into Excluded Accounts, (ii) each German Borrower shall instruct (a “German DDA Instruction”) each bank or other depository institution that maintains a DDA (other than an
Excluded Account) to cause all amounts on deposit and available at the close of each Business Day in such DDA (net of any required minimum balance) to be swept to a concentration deposit account maintained by any German Borrower (each, a
“German Concentration Account”) and (iii) each German Borrower shall obtain from each bank or other depository institution that maintains a German Concentration Account a Deposit Account Control Agreement that provides for such
bank or other depository institution, following its receipt of a Cash Dominion Notice (it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall reasonably promptly deliver a copy of such Cash Dominion Notice to the Lead Borrower), to transfer to the
German Dominion Account, on a daily basis, all balances in such German Concentration Account for application, subject to clause (c) below, to the Loan Document Obligations then outstanding in accordance with Section 7.03 (the
“German Sweep”); provided, that, following the termination of the Cash Dominion Period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly instruct such bank or other depository institution to terminate the German Sweep. From and after
the dates required as set forth above, the German Borrowers shall ensure that the foregoing provisions of clauses (b)(i), (b)(ii) and (b)(iii) are satisfied in all material respects at all times. 

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, (i) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) no Cash Dominion Period
is then in effect, the Loan Parties will have full and complete access to, and may direct the manner of disposition of, funds in the US Concentration Accounts and the German Concentration Accounts, as applicable. 

(d) The Dominion Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent. Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges and
agrees that (i) such Loan Party has no right of withdrawal from the Dominion Accounts, (ii) the funds on deposit in the Dominion Accounts shall at all times continue to be collateral security for all of the applicable Secured Obligations
and (iii) the funds on deposit in the Dominion Accounts shall be applied as provided in this Agreement and, to the extent such funds constitute Collateral, the Intercreditor Agreement. Without limiting the obligations set forth in clause
(a) above, each Loan Party agrees that it will not, at any time prior to the Termination Date, revoke any US DDA Instruction or German DDA Instruction except to the extent in connection with the closure of a DDA (or such DDA becoming an
Excluded Account) while a Cash Dominion Period is not in effect. 
 (e) In the event that for a period of five consecutive Business Days
(i) the Dollar Equivalent of the net positive balance of the Cash Pooling Accounts is greater than $20,000,000 and (ii) Specified Availability is less than 15.0% of the Line Cap, the Borrowers shall either (A) use commercially

calls with the lenders under the First Lien Credit 

  
 168

SECTION 7.02 Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.01, in the event that the Lead
Borrower fails to comply with the requirements of the Financial Maintenance Covenant as of the last day of any Test Period, at any time after the beginning of such fiscal period until the expiration of the fifteenth Business Day subsequent to the
later of (x) the date on which the financial statements with respect to such Test Period are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or Section 5.01(b), as applicable and (y) the commencement of the
applicable Financial Maintenance Covenant Test Period (the 15th Business Day following such later date, the “Cure End Date”), the Lead Borrower shall have the right to issue Qualified Equity Interests or other Equity Interests
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (each such issuance taken pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 7.02, a “Specified Equity Issuance”) for cash or otherwise receive cash contributions to the
capital of Holdings as cash common equity or other Qualified Equity Interests or other Equity Interests reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, in each case, which are contributed to the Lead Borrower in the form of cash (collectively,
the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by the Lead Borrower of the Net Proceeds of such issuance (the “Cure Amount”) pursuant to the exercise by the Lead Borrower of such Cure Right, the Financial Maintenance
Covenant, shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustment: 
 (a) Consolidated EBITDA shall be increased solely
with respect to such applicable fiscal quarter and any four fiscal quarter period that contains such fiscal quarter, solely for the purpose of measuring the Financial Maintenance Covenant and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an
amount equal to the Cure Amount; 
 (b) if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculation, the Lead Borrower shall then be in
compliance with the requirements of the Financial Maintenance Covenant, the Lead Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Financial Maintenance Covenant as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as
though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of the Financial Maintenance Covenant that had occurred (and any other Default or Event of Default as a result thereof) shall be deemed cured for
the purposes of this Agreement; 
 (c) upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a written notice from the Lead Borrower (or
telephonic notice promptly confirmed thereafter by delivery of a written notice) that the Lead Borrower intends to exercise the Cure Right (a “Notice of Intent to Cure”), until the Cure End Date to which such Notice of Intent to
Cure relates, neither the Administrative Agent (nor any sub-agent therefor) nor any Lender shall exercise any right to accelerate the Loans, terminate the Commitments or demand Cash Collateral, and none of the
Administrative Agent (nor any sub-agent therefor) nor any Lender or Secured Party shall exercise any right to foreclose on or take possession of the Collateral or any other right or remedy under the Loan
Documents, in each case, solely on the basis of the relevant failure to comply with Section 6.10; 
 (d) notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, (i) in each four consecutive fiscal quarter period of the Lead Borrower there shall be at least two fiscal quarters (which may, but are not required to be, consecutive) in which the Cure Right is not exercised,
(ii) during the term of this Agreement, the Cure Right shall not be exercised more than five times and (iii) for purposes of this Section 7.02, the Cure Amount shall be no greater than, the amount required for purposes of
complying with the Financial Maintenance Covenant (or, in any case, if greater, the amount required to be in pro forma compliance with any financial covenant with respect to any other Indebtedness that is being


  
 205 













 
cured). Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, during any Test Period in which any Cure Amount is included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA as a result of
any exercise of the Cure Right, the Cure Amount received pursuant to any exercise of such Cure Right shall be (A) counted solely as an increase to Consolidated EBITDA for the purpose of determining compliance with Section 6.10 and
(B) disregarded for purposes of determining any financial ratio-based conditions or provisions, pricing or any available basket under this Agreement; and 

(e) no Lender or Issuing Bank shall be required to make any Credit Extension (other than any amendment, modification, renewal or extension of
a Letter of Credit that does not increase the face amount thereof) from and after the earlier of (x) the occurrence of the relevant Event of Default and (y) such time as the Administrative Agent has received the Notice of Intent to Cure
unless and until the Cure Amount is actually received.

 ARTICLE VIII 

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 Each of
the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank, N.A. (acting through such of its Affiliates or branches as it deems appropriate) to serve as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents, and authorizes
the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to execute, deliver and administer the Loan Documents and to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent by the terms of the Loan
Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and,
other than the Lead Borrower with respect to its removal and consent rights as expressly set forth herein, none of Holdings, the Lead Borrower or any of their respective subsidiaries shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any such
provisions. 
 The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “Collateral Agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders
and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and such Issuing Bank for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the
Loan Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Agent and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent pursuant to this Article VIII for purposes
of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of
all provisions of this Article VIII and Article IX (including Section 9.03 as 

  
 209 













 though such co-agents,
sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein
with respect thereto. 
 The terms of the Initial Intercreditor Agreement, including the provisions thereof governing Single Lien
Collateral, are hereby ratified and approved by the Secured Parties in all respects and the Secured Parties direct the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, as applicable, to bind itself to the terms thereof on behalf of the Secured Parties.

 It is acknowledged and agreed that, if in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law or the Requirements of Law governing any
applicable Security Document (including foreign Requirements of Law), security interests of a type (or on assets of a type) may not be (or customarily are not) granted to more than one collateral agent, trustee or similar representative (or in the
interests of limiting the cost of more than one grant of security, including with respect to the notarization of any relevant security documents or inscription of any such security documents before relevant public registries, including any security
over shares in German limited liability companies and certain Mexican assets, such as shares or equity interests), the security interests securing Secured Obligations may be granted to either the Collateral Agent, the First Lien Collateral Agent or
any Common Collateral Agent for the benefit of all Applicable Secured Parties (as defined in the Initial Intercreditor Agreement), including (but not limited to) the Secured Parties, with the Security Documents creating such security interests
allocated, to the extent feasible (in the good faith determination of the Lead Borrower) between the Collateral Agent and the First Lien Collateral Agent and/or Common Collateral Agent on the basis of whether the collateral the subject thereof is
expected to primarily consist of ABL Priority Collateral or Fixed Asset Priority Collateral, respectively (the collateral subject to such security interests, “Single Lien Collateral”). The security interests in Single Lien
Collateral will be held by the applicable agent upon the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents. 
 In order to
give effect to the foregoing, references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the Collateral Agent hereunder shall, in relation to Single Lien Collateral, unless the context otherwise requires, be deemed to include a reference to the Collateral
Agent, the First Lien Collateral Agent and/or any Common Collateral Agent, as applicable, acting in such capacity, and the duties of the Collateral Agent hereunder to take any action shall in such case include a corresponding duty to direct the
First Lien Collateral Agent or the Common Collateral Agent, as applicable, to take such action, to the extent applicable and to the extent such direction is permitted by the Intercreditor Agreements. The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent
hereby agree to provide such direction and the Secured Parties agree that the applicable agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely on any such direction. 

In the case of Single Lien Collateral the subject of a security interest to be granted pursuant to a Security Document to be governed by the
law of a jurisdiction other than the United States and Canada, if the Lead Borrower determines in good faith that the grant of a single security interest for the benefit of all Applicable Secured Parties (as defined in the Initial Intercreditor
Agreement) as described above cannot be achieved after the use of commercially reasonable efforts, then (i) the Collateral Agent may be granted and hold any such Lien granted pursuant to such a Security Document primarily relating to ABL
Priority Collateral solely for the benefit of the Secured Parties and (ii) the First Lien Collateral Agent or Common Collateral Agent may be granted and hold any such Lien granted pursuant to such a Security Document primarily relating to Fixed
Asset Priority Collateral solely for the benefit of the Fixed Asset Secured Parties (as defined in the Initial Intercreditor Agreement) or any class or series of them (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no such grant shall be required in favor of the
Collateral Agent or any Secured Party). 

  
 210 













 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no inaccuracy or breach, as applicable, of
any representation, warranty or covenant in any Loan Document relating to the grant, validity, enforceability, perfection or priority of any security interest shall occur, and no Default or Event of Default or other breach of the terms hereof or
thereof shall occur, as a result of the collateral agency and intercreditor arrangements described in this Article VIII, in the Initial Intercreditor Agreement or in any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, for the avoidance of doubt, Citibank, N.A. (in its capacity as Collateral Agent) shall not be liable to any Secured Party for (i) any security interests (including any related obligations) granted to the Common Collateral
Agent or (ii) any actions taken or omitted by the Common Collateral Agent. 
 By accepting the benefits of the Collateral and the
Guarantees provided under the Loan Documents, each Secured Party that is a party to any Swap Agreement the obligations under which constitute Secured Swap Obligations shall be deemed to have appointed and authorized each of the Administrative Agent
and the Collateral Agent to serve as the administrative agent and the collateral agent, respectively, under the Loan Documents and to have agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder. 

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender or an Issuing Bank
as any other Lender or Issuing Bank and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent, the terms “Lender”, “Lenders”, “Issuing Bank” and “Issuing Banks” shall, unless
otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, own securities of, lend
money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings, the Lead Borrower or any other 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 or the Issuing Banks. 
 The Administrative Agent
shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties,
regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for in the Loan Documents);
provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion (including on the advice of counsel), may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable
Requirements of Law and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Holdings, the Lead
Borrower, any other Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable
for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or a Majority in Interest of the Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent
shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02 and/or in the last paragraph of Section 7.01 (as applicable)) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment). The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written
notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by 

  
 211 













 Holdings, the Lead Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent shall not be
responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered
thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the existence, value, sufficiency or collectability of any Collateral or creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created
by the Security Documents or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or
satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor
or maintain any portion of the Collateral. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from any confirmation or determination of (x) the LC Exposure or Swingline Exposure or the
component amounts thereof, (y) the Dollar Equivalent or (z) the terms and conditions of any Intercreditor Agreement. 
 The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, 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 (including, if applicable, a Responsible Officer of such Person). The Administrative Agent also may
rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person (including, if applicable, a Responsible Officer of such Person), and may act upon any such
statement prior to receipt of written confirmation thereof. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to
the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or
Issuing Bank prior to 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 Lead Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and
shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

The Administrative Agent may perform any of and all 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 of and all their duties
and exercise their rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article VIII shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the
Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents, except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and
nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. 

The Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may resign upon 30 days’ written notice to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Lead
Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the Lead Borrower’s consent (such consent not to be 

  
 212 













 unreasonably withheld or delayed, and such consent not to be required if a Specified Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a commercial bank or trust company 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 or Collateral Agent, as applicable, gives written notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent, as applicable, may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, with the Lead Borrower’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and such consent not to be required
if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, meeting the qualifications above (the earlier of (x) the expiry of such
30-day period described in the first sentence of this paragraph and (y) the date upon which any such successor shall have been appointed in accordance herewith, the “Resignation Closing
Date”); provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lead Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such
notice. 
 If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender or is an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, the Required
Lenders or the Lead Borrower may, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, remove such Person as Administrative Agent, in each case upon 10 days’ written notice to such Person, and the Required Lenders may, with the consent of
the Lead Borrower (unless a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, with the Lead Borrower’s consent (unless a Specified Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing), and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (the “Removal Closing Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal
Closing Date. 
 With effect from the Resignation Closing Date or the Removal Closing Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except (i) that in the case of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on
behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed and (ii) with respect to any
outstanding payment obligations of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as
applicable, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the
Required Lenders or the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as
applicable (other than as provided in Section 2.17(g) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, as of the Resignation Closing
Date or the Removal Closing Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as set
forth in this Article VIII. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Lead Borrower and
such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, resignation or removal hereunder 

  
 213 













 and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.03
shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed 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 or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to under clause (1) above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Disqualified Lender may be
appointed as a successor Administrative Agent without the consent of the Lead Borrower. 
 Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges
that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers, any other Agent or any other Lender or any Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the
Lead Arrangers, any other Agent or any other Lender or any Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, 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. 

Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement and funding its Loans on the Closing Date, or delivering its signature page to
an Assignment and Assumption or Incremental Facility Amendment pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required
to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Closing Date. 
 Except with
respect to the exercise of setoff rights of any Lender in accordance with Section 9.08 or with respect to a Lender’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to
realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Secured Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. In the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other
disposition, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as agent for and
representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement
or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Loan Document Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties at such sale or other disposition. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the
Guarantees of the Secured Obligations, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article VIII, Section 9.15 and Section 9.17. 

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no Swap Agreement, Cash Management Services or arrangements in respect of Other
Secured Obligations, in each case the obligations under or in respect of which constitute Secured Obligations will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or
release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under any Loan Document. By 

  
 214 













 accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such Swap Agreement, a
provider of such Cash Management Services or a counterparty in respect of Other Secured Obligations shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the
Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph. 

Each of the Lenders, Issuing Banks and other Secured Parties irrevocably authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent to, and the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall (a) release and terminate, or confirm or evidence any automatic release and termination of, any Guarantees and Liens created under the Loan Documents as provided
in Section 9.15 or in any other Security Document and (b) subordinate, at the request of the Lead Borrower, any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Security Document to the holder of any Lien on
such property as provided in Section 9.15. 
 In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any
Debtor Relief Law, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any LC Disbursement 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 (but not obligated) 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, LC Exposure and all
other Secured Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under
Section 2.12, Section 2.13, Section 2.15, Section 2.16, Section 2.17 and Section 9.03) 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 such monies or other
property, as applicable; 
 and any custodian, receiver, receiver and manager, assignee, trustee, liquidator, provisional liquidator, sequestrator,
administrator, controller, managing controller or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each other Secured Party 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, the Issuing Banks or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent,
under the Loan Documents (including under Section 9.03). 
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lead Arranger
shall have any duties or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender or an Issuing Bank), but all such Persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder,
including under Section 9.03, as fully as if named as an indemnitee or indemnified person therein and irrespective of whether the indemnified losses, claims, damages, liabilities and/or related expenses arise out of, in connection with
or as a result of matters arising prior to, on or after the effective date of any Loan Document. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law
in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Article VII for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Banks; provided, however, 

  
 215 













 that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf
the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to
its benefit (solely in its capacity as Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.08 (subject to the terms
of Section 2.18) or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided
further that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Article VII and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.18, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies
available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders. 
 To the extent required by any applicable Requirements of Law, the
Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.17, each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent
against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the
Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of
any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the
exemption from, or reduction of withholding tax ineffective, or because of such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register), but in each case only to the
extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such amounts and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by
the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this paragraph. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the
repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations under any Loan Document. 
 Each Lender and other Secured Party hereby
appoints the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to act as its agent under and in connection with the relevant Security Documents, the Guarantee Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreements. 

Except as otherwise expressly set forth on Annex A, all provisions of this Article VIII applicable to the Administrative Agent shall
apply to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to all the benefits and indemnities applicable to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

 SECTION 9.02
Waivers; Amendments. 
 (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right
or power under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof (except as otherwise provided herein), nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or
power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and
are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless such waiver or consent, as
applicable, shall be permitted by this Section 9.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent
permitted by law, the making of a Loan or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have
had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No waiver or consent by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any Issuing Bank, nor any notice or demand on the Borrowers, in any case shall entitle the Borrowers to any other or further
waiver, consent, notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
 (b) Except as provided in Section 1.11(c),

to make technical changes to this Agreement and any other Loan Documents to accommodate the inclusion of any such new currency (it being understood that neither the consent of the Required Lenders nor the consent of any other Lender shall be
required in connection therewith); provided, further that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise adversely affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, any Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be and (B) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this
Agreement of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (but not the Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the requisite
percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section 9.02 if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (i) this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (A) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and
to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and to the extent such credit
facilities are pari passu in right of payment and security with any then-existing Loans, to share ratably (or less than ratably) in prepayments with such Loans) and (B) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities
in any determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Lenders prior to such inclusion, (ii) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended or supplemented by an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent (as applicable) and the Borrowers or any Loan Party as to which such agreement or agreements is to apply, without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender, to include

in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, any security interest contemplated to be created under this Agreement, or to perfect any such security interest, where the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as
applicable,, shall have been advised by its counsel that such provisions are necessary or advisable under local law for such purpose (with the Borrowers hereby agreeing to, and to cause its subsidiaries to, enter into any such agreement or
agreements upon reasonable request of the Administrative Agent promptly upon such request) and (iii) upon notice thereof by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent with respect to the inclusion of any previously absent financial maintenance
covenant, this Agreement shall be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender to include such covenant on the date of the incurrence of the
applicable Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.02, this Agreement, the Loan Documents and any guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents executed by Loan Parties or
other Group Members in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended, amended and restated, supplemented and waived with the consent of the
Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrowers without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender or Issuing Bank (1) in order to comply with local Requirements of Law or advice of local counsel, (2) to cure any ambiguity, mistake,
defect, 

  
 221 













 inconsistency, obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or administrative nature or to effect
any necessary or desirable technical change so long as the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such
notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment, amendment and restatement, supplement or waiver, (3) to effect any necessary or desirable technical change in
connection with the occurrence of a Specified Tax Event, (4) in order to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and/or the “Description of
Secured Notes” section of the Offering Circular in respect of the Secured Notes and/or (5) with respect to the Intercreditor Agreement or any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement as provided therein or to give effect thereto or to carry out
the purpose thereof and/or hereof, in each case without the input or consent of any Lender. 
 (c) In connection with any proposed
amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders (or all Lenders of a Class) or all directly and adversely affected Lenders (or all directly and adversely affected Lenders of
a Class), if the consent of the Required Lenders (or a Majority in Interest of the applicable Class) to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such
Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in clause (b) of this Section 9.02 being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, the Lead Borrower may, at
its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, (i) terminate the applicable Commitments of such Lender, and cause the repayment of all obligations of
the Borrowers owing to such Lender (or at the option of the Lead Borrower, just those obligations relating to the applicable Loans and participations held by such Lender) as of such termination date or (ii) require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement (or at the option of the Lead Borrower, just those obligations relating to the applicable Loans and participations held by such Lender) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another
Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (1) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Lead Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to the extent such consent would be
required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, which in each case shall not unreasonably be withheld, (2) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have
received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Swingline Loans and LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts (including any amounts under
Section 2.11(a)(i)), payable to it hereunder from the Borrowers or Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (3) in the case
of clause (ii) above, unless waived, the Borrowers or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b). No action by or consent of a Non-Consenting Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of the amounts described in clause (2) of the immediately
preceding sentence. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Lender’s
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Lender and in the name of such Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s
discretion, with prior written notice to such Lender, to take any action and to execute any such assignment or other instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this clause (c). 

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the Commitments and the Aggregate Exposure of any
Lender that is at the time a Defaulting 

  
 222 













 Lender or that is a Disqualified Lender or a Person with respect to which the Lead Borrower is entitled to
take the actions set forth in Section 9.04(h)(i) shall not have any voting or approval rights under the Loan Documents and shall be excluded in determining whether all Lenders (or all Lenders of a Class), all affected Lenders (or all
affected Lenders of a Class), the Supermajority Lenders, the Required Lenders or a Majority in Interest of Lenders of any Class have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to this
Section 9.02); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders (or all Lenders of a Class) or all affected Lenders (or all affected Lenders of a Class) that affects any Defaulting Lender
materially more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. 
 (e) [Reserved]. 

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.02 to the contrary, (a) technical and conforming modifications to the Loan
Documents may be made with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (and no other Person) to the extent necessary (i) to integrate any Incremental Facilities, (ii) to integrate or make administrative modifications with
respect to borrowings and issuances of Letters of Credit, (iii) to integrate terms or conditions (including representations and warranties, conditions, prepayments, covenants or events of default) from any Incremental Facility Amendment and
(iv) to make any amendments permitted by Section 1.04 and to give effect to any election to adopt IFRS (or any re-adoption of U.S. GAAP to the extent permitted hereunder) and (b) without
the consent of any Lender or Issuing Bank, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent or any collateral agent may (in their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into (x) any amendment,
modification or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become
Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property, or as required to cause such Loan Document to be consistent
with this Agreement, or to extend any deadline or compliance requirement with respect to the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement or any Security Document, or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable Requirements of Law or this
Agreement or in each case to otherwise enhance the rights or benefits of any Lender under any Loan Document or (y) any applicable Intercreditor Agreement (or an amendment thereto), in each case with the holders of Indebtedness permitted by this
Agreement to be secured by the Collateral. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may, without the consent of any Lender, (i) increase the interest rates (including any interest rate margins or interest
rate floors), fees and other amounts payable to any Class or Classes of Lenders hereunder, (ii) [reserved] and/or (iii) modify any other provision hereunder or under any other Loan Document in a manner more favorable to the then-existing
Lenders or Class or Classes of Lenders, in each case in connection with the issuance or incurrence of any Incremental Facilities or other Indebtedness permitted hereunder, where the terms of any such Incremental Facilities or other Indebtedness
are more favorable to the lenders thereof than the corresponding terms applicable to other Loans or Commitments then existing hereunder, and it is intended that one or more then-existing Classes of Loans or Commitments under this Agreement share in
the benefit of such more favorable terms in order to comply with the provisions hereof relating to the incurrence of such Incremental Facilities or other Indebtedness. 

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent any amendment, waiver, supplement or other modification referred to in this Section 9.02
relates to any Security Document, to the extent such amendment, waiver, supplement or other modification is otherwise approved or permitted pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02, the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent
(as applicable) hereby agree to provide direction to the Common Collateral Agent to effectuate any such amendment, 

  
 223 













 
waiver, supplement or other modification with respect to any Security Document in respect of Single Lien Collateral and the Common Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely on such direction.

delivery or administration of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument contemplated thereby or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their
respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated thereby or (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to
honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit) or the use of proceeds provided hereunder (including, without limitation,
any actual or threatened claim, action, litigation, investigation or other proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation) relating to any of the foregoing) (each, a “Proceeding”), regardless of whether any such


  
 224 













 
Indemnified Person is a party thereto and whether or not such Proceedings are brought by the Borrowers, their equity holders, Affiliates or creditors or any other third person, and to reimburse
each such Indemnified Person promptly for any reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with investigating,
responding to or defending any of the foregoing (provided that legal fees and expenses will be limited to the reasonable fees and expenses of (x) one firm of counsel for all such Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole, (y) if necessary, one

not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to Losses or related expenses to the extent that they have resulted from (i) the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person or any of such Indemnified Person’s
Related Parties (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), (ii) a material breach of the obligations under the Loan Documents by any Indemnified Person or its
Related Parties (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) or (iii) any Proceeding that does not arise from any act or omission by Holdings, any Borrower

hereunder and in their capacities as such, shall remain indemnified in respect of such a Proceeding, to the extent that none of the exceptions set forth in any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the immediately preceding
proviso apply to such Person at such time. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from any
non-Tax claim. 
 (c) To the extent that Holdings or the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required
to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any other Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Related Party of any of the foregoing under paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section 9.03, and without limiting Holdings’ or the Borrowers’ obligation to do so, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or such sub-agent), such other Agent,
such Issuing Bank or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the
unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or such sub-agent), such other Agent, or
such Issuing Bank 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), such other Agent, or such Issuing Bank in connection
with such capacity. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the outstanding total Aggregate Exposure and unused Commitments at the time. The obligations of the Lenders under this
clause (c) are subject to Section 2.06(c) (which shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Lenders’ obligations under this clause (c).

electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet, the Platform or any other customary electronic platform or messaging service); provided that such waiver shall not, as to any Person, be available to the extent
that such damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or a breach of


  
 225 













 
the Loan Documents by, such Person or its Affiliates or Related Parties or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or
actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that
nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Borrowers’ indemnification and reimbursement obligations to the extent such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in any third party claims with respect to which the
Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder. 
 (e) All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be payable not
later than 30 days (x) after written demand therefor, together with backup documentation supporting the relevant indemnity request, in the case of any indemnification obligations and (y) in the case of reimbursement of costs and expenses,
after receipt by the Lead Borrower of an invoice setting forth such costs and expenses in reasonable detail, together with backup documentation supporting the relevant reimbursement request; provided, however, that any Indemnified
Person shall promptly refund or return an indemnification payment received hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such payment pursuant to this Section 9.03.

contemplated hereby, the sub-agents of the Administrative Agent, the other Agents, the Related Parties of each of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim

written consent of: 
 (A) the Lead Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that
the Lead Borrower may in its sole discretion withhold its consent to any assignment to any Person that is not a Disqualified Lender but is known by the Lead Borrower to be an Affiliate of a Disqualified Lender regardless of whether such Person is
identifiable as an Affiliate of a Disqualified Lender on the basis of such Affiliate’s name); provided that no consent of the Lead Borrower shall be required for any such assignment if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing; 
 (B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and 

  
 226 













 (C) solely in the case of US Loans or Commitments, each Issuing Bank and the

contained herein, in the case of any assignment of Commitments and/or Loans to another Lender with Commitments and/or Loans of such Class or an Affiliate thereof of similar creditworthiness and Letter of Credit capabilities, no consent of the
Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender shall be required. 
 (ii) Assignments
shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment
or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of each Class of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the trade date specified in the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment or,
if no trade date is so specified, as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 or €4,000,000 (and integral multiples of $1,000,000 or

any amount transferred or assigned under any Credit Facility by or to an Approved Fund shall be aggregated with any amounts transferred or assigned by or to an Approved Fund under such Credit Facility, (b) if on the same date two or more
Lenders are transferring part of their share in a Credit Facility to the same transferee or assignee, the minimum amount so transferred by any such Lender to such transferee or assignee may be less than the minimum transfer requirements if the
aggregate amount so transferred or assigned satisfies the minimum transfer requirements (net of any re-assignment or re-transfer) and provided that each of such Lender
and the relevant transferee or assignee has, after such transfer or assignment (and net of any re-transfer or re-assignment), a share in such Credit Facility in a
minimum amount which satisfies the minimum transfer requirements, or, if it is a transfer or assignment of all of the Lender’s existing share in such Credit Facility, in an amount equal to such existing share and (c) the remaining
Commitments of a Lender under the relevant Credit Facility shall be aggregated with the Commitments of each of its Affiliates and Approved Funds under such Facility, (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate
part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that this subclause (B) shall not be construed to prohibit assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights
and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans, (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption (which shall include a representation by the assignee
that it is not a Disqualified Lender or an Affiliate of a Disqualified Lender (so long as the list of Disqualified Lenders (other than any Person that is a Disqualified Lender pursuant to clause (c)(ii) or (d) of the definition thereof) has
been made available to all Lenders party to such assignment following the reasonable written request therefor)), together (unless waived by the Administrative Agent) with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that assignments made
pursuant to Section 2.19, Section 2.24 or Section 9.02(c) shall not require the signature of the assigning Lender to become effective, (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent any tax forms required by Section 2.17(e) and an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrowers, the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the
assignee’s 

  
 227 













 
compliance procedures and applicable Requirements of Law, including Federal and state securities laws, (E) no assignment of any Commitment, Loans or any obligations in respect of Swingline
Exposure or LC Exposure may be made to Holdings, any Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (F) the assignor shall provide a copy of any assignment request (including any proposed Assignment and Assumption) to the Lead Borrower
concurrently with delivery thereof to the Administrative Agent, irrespective of whether a Specified Event of Default has occurred or whether the Lead Borrower’s consent is required to such proposed assignment and (G) any assignment of
Initial Commitments (including Commitments in respect of an Incremental Facility that increase the Initial Commitments) shall be made as a ratable assignment of German Loans (and participations in German Letters of Credit and German Swingline Loans)
and US Loans (and participations in US Letters of Credit and US Swingline Loans), it being understood that it is the intention of the parties hereto that each Lender with an Initial Commitment hold a ratable portion of both the German Exposure and
the US Exposure under the Initial Commitments at all times. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to
clause (v) of this clause (b), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of (subject to
the obligations and limitations of) Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and to any fees payable hereunder that have accrued for such Lender’s account but have not yet been paid). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender
of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
Section 9.04(c)(i). 
 (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a
non-fiduciary agent of Holdings and the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of
the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal and stated interest amounts of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall
be conclusive absent manifest error, and Holdings, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all
purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The
Register shall be available for inspection by Holdings, the Borrowers and, solely with respect to its Loans or Commitments, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no
event shall the Administrative Agent be responsible for or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, monitor or inquire into, or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders (or an affiliate of a
Disqualified Lender), nor, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall the Administrative Agent (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a
Disqualified Lender, (y) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to the aggregate amount of the Loans or Incremental Facilities 

  
 228 













 
held by Disqualified Lenders (or affiliates of Disqualified Lenders) or (z) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of
confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender. 
 (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption
executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by Section 2.17(e) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and
recordation fee referred to in this clause (b) and any written consent to such assignment required by this clause (b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained
therein in the Register; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to accept such Assignment and Assumption or so record the information contained therein if the Administrative Agent reasonably believes that such Assignment
and Assumption lacks any written consent required by this Section or is otherwise not in proper form, it being acknowledged that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation (and shall incur no liability) with respect to obtaining (or
confirming the receipt) of any such written consent or with respect to the form of (or any defect in) such Assignment and Assumption, any such duty and obligation being solely with the assigning Lender and the assignee. No assignment shall be
effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this clause (b). 
 (c) (i)
Any Lender may, without the consent of Holdings, the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other Persons (other than to a Person that is not an Eligible Assignee; provided that for the purposes
of this Section 9.04(c), Disqualified Lenders shall be deemed to be Eligible Assignees unless a list of Disqualified Lenders (other than any Person that is a Disqualified Lender pursuant to clause (c) of the definition thereof) has
been made available to all Lenders party to such participation following the reasonable written request therefor) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all
or a portion of its Commitments and Loans of any Class); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for
the performance of such obligations and (C) Holdings, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders 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 the Loan Documents and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver
described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that directly and adversely affects such Participant or requires the consent of each Lender. Subject to clause (ii) below, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the obligations and limitations thereof, it being understood that any tax forms required by Section 2.17(e) shall be provided to the Lender) to the
same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 9.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. 

(ii) No Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17
than the participating 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 Lead Borrower’s prior written consent
expressly acknowledging that 

  
 229 













 
such Participant’s entitlement to benefits under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 is not limited to what the participating Lender would have been entitled to receive
absent the participation. Any Participant that would be a non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Lead Borrower is notified of the
participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.17 as though it were a Lender and to deliver the tax forms required to claim an exemption from or reduction of
withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17 shall be delivered to the participating Lender and, if additional amounts are required to be
paid pursuant to Section 2.17, to the Borrowers). 
 (iii) Each Lender that sells a participation or grants a
Loan to an SPV shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal and stated
interest amounts of each Participant’s and each SPV’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose
all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to
any Person except that (x) to the extent such disclosure is necessary (including with an audit or other proceeding) to establish that such commitment, loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the Proposed Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor
version), (y) upon request of the Lead Borrower to confirm no Participant or SPV is a Disqualified Lender, a natural Person or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person or
(z) in connection with a request for consent for participation in respect of any Loan or Aggregate Exposure. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and each Person whose name is recorded in the
Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof shall be treated as a Participant for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative
Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 (d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Lead Borrower
or the Administrative Agent, 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 (other than to any Disqualified Person, Defaulting Lender or any natural
Person), including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no
such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(e) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective
unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate
(which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of
Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to
the Administrative Agent or 

  
 230 













 
any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit
in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Requirements of Law without compliance
with the provisions of this clause (e), then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. 

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special
purpose funding vehicle (an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrowers all or any part of any Loan that
such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan, (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise
such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) in no event may any Lender grant any option to provide to any Borrower all
or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would have otherwise been obligated to make to such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement to any Disqualified Person or Defaulting Lender. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the
Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPV nor the exercise by any SPV of such option shall increase the
costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17) and no SPV shall be entitled to any greater amount under
Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document than the Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive, unless the grant to such SPV is made with the prior written
consent of the Lead Borrower (in its sole discretion), expressly acknowledging that such SPV’s entitlement to benefits under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 is not limited to what the Granting Lender would have been
entitled to receive absent the grant to the SPV, (ii) no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender) and (iii) the Granting Lender
shall for all purposes including approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of the Loan Documents, remain the Lender of record hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement
shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, such party will not institute against, or
join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia; provided that
(i) such SPV’s Granting Lender is in compliance in all material respects with its obligations to each Borrower hereunder and (ii) each Lender designating any SPV hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party
hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such SPV during such period of forbearance. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 9.04, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any
Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Lead Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and
(ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement
to such SPV. 

  
 231 













 (g) [Reserved.] 

(h) (i) If any assignment or participation under this Section 9.04 is made by a Lender without the Lead Borrower’s
consent (or deemed consent, as applicable) to (A) any Disqualified Lender or any Affiliate thereof (other than a Bona Fide Debt Fund that is not itself a Disqualified Lender) or (B) any other Person to the extent the Lead Borrower’s
consent is required under this Section 9.04 for an assignment, or sale of a participation, to such Person (any such Person referred to in clause (A) or (B), a “Disqualified Person”), then, such assignment shall not
be null and void, but (x) such Disqualified Person shall not be entitled to the benefit of any expense reimbursement or indemnification provisions of the Loan Documents (including without limitation Section 9.03 hereof) and (y) the
Lead Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Disqualified Person and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Commitment of such Disqualified Person and repay all obligations of the Lead Borrower owing to such
Disqualified Person and/or (B) require that such Disqualified Person assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under
this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees (and if such Person does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed assignment agreement reflecting such assignment within five Business Days of the date on which such
Eligible Assignee executes and delivers such assignment agreement to such Person, then such Person shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such assignment agreement without any action on its part); provided that in the case of clause (B), the
relevant assignment shall otherwise comply with this Section 9.04 (except that no registration and processing fee required under this Section 9.04 shall be required with any assignment pursuant to this paragraph; provided,
further that in the case of the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), no Borrower shall be liable to any Person for breakage costs. Further, any Disqualified Person identified by the Lead Borrower to the Administrative Agent and, for the avoidance of doubt, Holdings, the Borrower and any of their Affiliates, (A) shall not be permitted to
(x) receive information or reporting provided by any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (for the avoidance of doubt, other than information or reporting provided to Holdings, the Borrower or any of their Affiliates in such Persons’ capacities other than as a Lender
hereunder) and/or (y) attend and/or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and (B)(x) shall not for purposes of
determining whether the Supermajority Lenders, the Required Lenders or the majority Lenders under any Class have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the
terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or
refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, have a right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action; it
being understood that all Loans held by any Disqualified Person shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Supermajority Lenders, the Required Lenders, Majority in Interest under any Class or all Lenders
have taken any action, and (y) shall be deemed to vote in the same proportion as Lenders that are not Disqualified Persons in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law commenced by or against a Borrower or any other Loan Party. For the sake of
clarity, the provisions in this Section 9.04(h) shall not apply to any Person that is an assignee of any Disqualified Person, if such assignee is not a Disqualified Person. Nothing in this Section 9.04(h) shall be deemed to
prejudice any right or remedy that the Lead Borrower may otherwise have at law or equity. 
 (ii) Upon the request of
any Lender or as otherwise required herein, the Administrative Agent shall make available to such Lender the list of Disqualified Lenders at the relevant time and such Lender may provide the list to any potential assignee or participant on a
confidential basis in accordance with Section 9.12 for the purpose of verifying whether such Person is a Disqualified Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not


  
 232 













 
have any responsibility or liability for monitoring the list or identities of, or enforcing provisions relating to, Disqualified Lenders. 

SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in
the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to any Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the
making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or
knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount
payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 9.03 and
9.12 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the
Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in the event that, in connection with the refinancing or
repayment in full of the credit facilities provided for herein, an Issuing Bank shall have provided to the Administrative Agent a written consent to the release of the Lenders from their obligations hereunder with respect to any Letter of Credit
issued by such Issuing Bank (whether as a result of the obligations of the Borrowers (and any other account party) in respect of such Letter of Credit having been collateralized in full by a deposit of cash with such Issuing Bank or being supported
by a letter of credit that names such Issuing Bank as the beneficiary thereunder, or otherwise), then from and after such time such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” outstanding hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations in such Letter of Credit, and no obligations with respect thereto, under Section 2.04(e) or (f). 

SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto
on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable
to the Agents or the syndication of the Loans and Commitments 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. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that,
when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of an original counterpart of this Agreement. 

SECTION 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as
to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.07, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement
relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the 

  
 233 













 
Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited. 

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon the written consent of the
Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final, in whatever currency) or other amounts at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or the Borrowers against any of and
all the obligations of Holdings or the Borrowers then due and owing under this Agreement held by such Lender or Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although
such obligations are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or Issuing Bank different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise
any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated
by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in
reasonable detail the Secured Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The applicable Lender and applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such
setoff and application; provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff and application under this Section 9.08. The rights of each Lender and each Issuing Bank
under this Section 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or such Issuing Bank may have. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amount setoff from any Guarantor shall be applied
to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Guarantor. 
 SECTION 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. 

(a) With the exception of the provisions regarding German law appointment of Collateral Agent as Trustee (Treuhänder) in
Article VIII, which shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of Germany, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise)
based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (in each case, except as expressly set forth in any such other Loan Document) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New
York; provided that (x) the interpretation of clause (a) of the definition of “Material Adverse Effect” and the determination of whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred as of the Closing Date, (y) the determination of
the accuracy of any Specified Acquisition Agreement Representation and whether as a result of any inaccuracy thereof the Lead Borrower (or its applicable Affiliate) has a right to terminate its obligations under the Acquisition Agreement or decline
to consummate the Acquisition without liability to it and (z) the determination of whether the Acquisition has been consummated in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement and, in any case, any claim or dispute arising out of any
such interpretation or determination or any aspect thereof, shall in each case be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of
conflicts of laws. 
 (b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the
exclusive jurisdiction 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 sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any
action or proceeding arising out of or 

  
 234 













 
relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any
such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive
and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in any Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring
any action or proceeding to enforce any award or judgment or exercise any rights under the Security Documents against any Collateral in any other forum in which Collateral is located or relating to any Loan Document against Holdings, the Borrowers
or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (c) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document in any court referred to in
clause (b) of this Section 9.09. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

 (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, to service of process
in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in any Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 

SECTION 9.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
REQUIREMENTS OF LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND
(B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.10. 

SECTION 9.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are
not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

SECTION 9.12 Confidentiality. 

(a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined
below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ (other than Excluded Affiliates) employees, directors, officers, trustees partners, agents, legal counsel, accountants, advisors, independent auditors and any
numbering, administration or settlement service providers (collectively, the “Representatives”) on a confidential “need to know” basis solely in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (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 in accordance with customary practices for syndicated loans and that the
Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank or Lender, as applicable, shall be 

  
 235 













 
responsible for its Affiliates’ and its and their Representatives’ compliance with this paragraph); provided that unless the Lead Borrower otherwise consents, no such disclosure
shall be made by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Affiliate or Representative thereof to any Affiliate or Representative of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender that is a Disqualified Lender,
(b) pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency in, or to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with, any pending legal, judicial or administrative proceeding, or otherwise to the extent required by any governmental
and/or regulatory authority, required by applicable Requirements of Law or by any subpoena or similar legal, judicial or administrative proceeding or in connection with the exercise of remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to
this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder (in which case such Person shall promptly notify the Lead Borrower, in advance, to the extent permitted by law (and if such Person is unable to notify the Lead Borrower in advance of such
disclosure, such notice shall be delivered to the Lead Borrower promptly thereafter to the extent permitted by law) and, to the extent such Person may legally and practically do so, allow the Lead Borrower a reasonable opportunity to object to such

 238 













 
the occurrence of the Termination Date, all obligations under the Loan Documents, all Guarantees in respect thereof and all security interests created by the Security Documents shall be

Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit
Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title
II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the
provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing
such Supported QFC) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and
rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime,
Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be
exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that
rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

 (C) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted
