shall be made on such day (rather than two Business Days prior to the commencement of an Interest Period) or (ii) if a given day is not a Business Day, such rate for such day shall be the rate determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
the preceding clause (i) for the most recent Business Day preceding such day. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or such LIBO Rate shall be effective from and including the

to have been established by Moody’s and S&P for the Index Debt shall fall within different Categories, the Applicable Rate shall be based on the higher of the two ratings unless one of the two ratings is two or more Categories lower than
the other, in which case the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to the Category next below that of the higher of the two ratings; and (iii) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s and S&P

the Applicable Rate shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of Moody’s or S&P shall change,

 (d) Failure to Elect. If no election as to the Type of a Revolving Borrowing is
specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing . If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, the requested Borrowing shall be made instead as an ABR Borrowing. 

SECTION 2.04. Funding of Borrowings 
 (a) Funding by the Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon (or, in the
case of an ABR Borrowing, 2:00 p.m.), New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in
Section 2.17. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly remitting by wire transfer such funds so received, or crediting of such funds to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative
Agent and designated by the Borrower, in like funds in accordance with the instructions provided in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Borrowing as provided in
Section 2.18(d) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Issuing Bank. 
 (b) Presumption by the
Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a
corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable 

  
 Credit
Agreement

Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with
interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the 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 Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. 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 promptly return to the Borrower any amount (including interest) so paid by the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, together with any interest on the amount so paid by such Lender for any day not covered by the Borrower’s payment. 

SECTION 2.05. Interest Elections 
 (a) Elections by the Borrower. The Loans constituting each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar
Revolving Borrowing, shall have the Interest Period specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as a Borrowing of the same Type
and, in the case of Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, may elect the Interest Period therefor, all as provided in this Section. The 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 constituting such Borrowing, and the Loans constituting each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings,
which may not be converted or continued. 
 (b) Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section, the
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such
election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or fax to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election
Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. 
 (c) Content of Interest Election
Requests. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each
resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) of this paragraph 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 Eurodollar Borrowing; and 

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor after giving effect to such
election.

 (d) Notice by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Promptly following receipt of
an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
 (e) Failure to Elect; Events of Default. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely and complete Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the
Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Revolving Borrowing. 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 Borrower, then, so long as such Event of Default is continuing (A) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted
to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (B) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period therefor. 

SECTION 2.06. Termination, Reduction and Increase of the Commitments 

(a) Scheduled Termination. Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date.

 (b) Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the
Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is $2,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after
giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.08, the total Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the total Commitments. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to
terminate or reduce the Commitments under this paragraph at least one Business Day prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the
Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower
may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such
condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent; provided that the reduction of the Commitments shall not preclude a subsequent increase thereof in accordance with Section 2.06(c). Each
reduction of the applicable Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. 
 (c) Increase. The Borrower may, at any time after the Effective Date by notice to the Administrative Agent, propose an increase in the total Commitments hereunder (each such proposed increase being
a “Commitment Increase”) either by having a Lender increase its Commitment then in effect (each an “Increasing Lender”) or by adding as a Lender with a new Commitment hereunder a Person which is not then a Lender
(each, an “Assuming Lender”), in each case, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender to the extent consent would be required under the terms of Section 9.04(b) in connection with
an assignment to such Lender or Person (such consent, in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld), which notice shall specify the name of each Increasing Lender and/or Assuming Lender, as applicable, the amount of such Commitment Increase, the
portion thereof being assumed by each such Increasing Lender or Assuming Lender, and the date on which such Commitment Increase is to be effective (the “Commitment Increase Date”) (which shall be a


  
 Credit
Agreement 









  
 - 20 -


 
Business Day at least three Business Days after delivery of such notice and 30 days prior to the Commitment Termination Date); provided that: 

(i) the minimum amount of the increase of the Commitment of any Increasing Lender, and the minimum amount of the
Commitment of any Assuming Lender, as part of any Commitment Increase shall be $10,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000; 
 (ii) immediately after giving effect to any Commitment Increase, the total Commitments hereunder shall not exceed $850,000,000; 

(iii) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the relevant Commitment Increase Date or shall result from any
Commitment Increase; and 
 (iv) the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in this Agreement
shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any such representations and warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects) on and as of the relevant Commitment Increase Date as if made on and as of such date (or, if
any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date). 

Each Commitment Increase (and the increase of the Commitment of each Increasing Lender and/or the new Commitment of each Assuming Lender,
as applicable, resulting therefrom) shall become effective as of the relevant Commitment Increase Date upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Commitment Increase Date, of (A) a
certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Borrower stating that the conditions with respect to such Commitment Increase under this paragraph (c) have been satisfied and (B) an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which, effective as of such Commitment Increase Date, the Commitment of each such Increasing Lender shall be increased and/or each such Assuming Lender shall undertake a Commitment, duly
executed by such Increasing Lender or Assuming Lender, as the case may be, and the Borrower and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent. Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a fully executed agreement from each Increasing Lender and/or
Assuming Lender referred to in clause (B) above, together with the certificate referred to in clause (A) above, the Administrative Agent shall record the information contained in each such agreement in the Register and give prompt notice
of the relevant Commitment Increase to the Borrower and the Lenders (including, if applicable, each Assuming Lender). On each Commitment Increase Date, in the event Revolving Loans are then outstanding, (i) each relevant Increasing Lender and
Assuming Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts determined by the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to
such increase and the application of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, the Revolving Loans to be held ratably by all the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments, (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have
prepaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Loans as of such Commitment Increase Date (with such borrowing to consist of the Type of Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower in
accordance with the requirements of Section 2.03) and (iii) the Borrower shall pay to the Lenders the amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.13 as a result of such prepayment. 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation to agree to increase its Commitment hereunder and
any election to do so shall be in the sole discretion of each Lender. 
 (d) Extensions. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders 

  
 Credit
Agreement 









  
 - 21 -


 
having at such time Commitments with the same Commitment Termination Date on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate amount of such Commitments) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the
Borrower shall be permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offer to extend the Commitment Termination Date of each such Lender’s Commitments and (subject to
the terms of this Section 2.06(d)) otherwise modify the terms of such Commitments pursuant to the terms of such Extension Offer (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Commitments as so extended and the original Commitments
not so extended, being a “tranche”), so long as, in each case, the following terms are satisfied: 
 (i) no Default have occurred and be continuing at the time the offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders and on the applicable effective date of such Extension;

 (ii) the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in this Agreement shall be true and
correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any such representations and warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects) on and as of the relevant Commitment Increase Date as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such
representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date); 
 (iii) except as to the Applicable Rate with respect to Revolving Loans and facility fees, Letter of Credit fees and the Commitment Termination Date with respect thereto (which shall be determined by
the Borrower (and as agreed to by the relevant extending Lenders) and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Commitment of any Lender extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Commitment”; and the Loans thereunder,
“Extended Revolving Loans”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) having the same terms (including collateral, if any) as the original Commitments (and related
outstandings); provided that (A) the Commitment Termination Date for any Extended Commitments shall in no event be earlier than the Commitment Termination Date of the Commitments established on the Effective Date and (B) there shall
not be more than four tranches of Commitments (including Extended Commitments and any original Commitments) that have a different Commitment Termination Date in effect at any time; provided, further, that, subject to the provisions of
Section 2.17(c)(v) and Section 2.18(d)(vii), to the extent dealing with Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit which mature or expire after a Commitment Termination Date when there exist Extended Commitments with a later Commitment
Termination Date, all Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated in on a pro rata basis by all Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (and, except as provided in Section 2.17(c)(v) and
Section 2.18(d)(vii)), without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier Commitment Termination Date with respect to Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued) and all borrowings under Commitments and repayments
thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (x) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Commitments (and related outstandings) and (y) repayments required upon the applicable Commitment Termination Date of
the non-extending Commitments); 
 (iv) if the aggregate amount of Commitments in respect of which Lenders
shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate amount of Commitments offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Commitments (and Revolving Loans thereunder) of such Lenders
shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective amounts of Commitments (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer; 

  
 Credit

 (v) on or prior to the effective date of each Extension Offer with
respect to any Extended Commitments, each Lender which has accepted such Extension Offer shall have confirmed in writing satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the amount of its Commitment being so extended; and 

(vi) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the terms of this Section 2.06(d).

 In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least ten Business Days’ (or
such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the
credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.06(d). No Extension Offer is required
to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension
Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and which may be waived by the Borrower) of Commitments of any or all applicable tranches be tendered for extension in connection with such Extension Offer. 

No consent of any parties to this Agreement shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than (A) the consent of each Lender
agreeing to such Extension with respect to its Commitments (or a portion thereof) as contemplated above and (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender (which consent, in each case, shall not be
unreasonably withheld). The Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.06(d) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest or fees in respect of any Extended Commitments on such terms as may be
set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 2.10 and 2.15) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or
any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.06(d). The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement with the Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or
sub-tranches in respect of any Extended Commitments and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each
case on terms consistent with this Section 2.06(d) and the relevant Extension Offer. 
 Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation to participate in or agree to any Extension and any election to do so shall be in the sole discretion of each Lender. 
 SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt 
 (a)
Repayment. The Borrower hereby unconditionally agrees to pay: 
 (i) to the Administrative Agent for
account of the Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans on the Commitment Termination Date, and 
 (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Commitment Termination Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is

made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least two Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made,
the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding. 
 (b) Manner of Payment. Prior to any repayment or
prepayment of any Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be paid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by fax) of such selection not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time,
three Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment; provided that each repayment of Borrowings shall be applied to repay any outstanding ABR Borrowings before any other Borrowings. If the Borrower fails to make a timely selection
of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid or prepaid, such payment shall be applied, first, to pay any outstanding ABR Borrowings, and second, to other Revolving Borrowings in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest
Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first). Each payment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such Borrowing. 

(c) Maintenance of Records by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice records evidencing the
indebtedness of the Borrower 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. 

(d) Maintenance of Records by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records in which it shall record
(i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and (if applicable) each Interest Period therefor, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each
Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (e) Effect of Entries. The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (f) Promissory Notes. Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a
promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such
form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 
 SECTION 2.08. Prepayment of Loans 
 (a) Optional Prepayments.
The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000, subject to the requirements of paragraph (b) of this Section and
Section 2.13.

 (b) Notices, Etc. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the
case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by fax) of any prepayment hereunder: 
 (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:30 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment; 

(ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the
date of prepayment; or 
 (iv) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon,
New York City time, on the date of prepayment. 
 Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal
amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment under paragraph (a) of this Section is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by
Section 2.06, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.06. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent
shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a
Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments under this Section shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.10 and shall be subject to the payment of
amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.13 in connection with such prepayment. 
 SECTION 2.09. Fees

 (a) Facility Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Lender a facility fee,
which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate (i) prior to the termination of such Lender’s Commitment, on the daily amount of such Commitment (whether used or unused) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding
the date on which such Commitment terminates and (ii) if such Lender continues to have any Revolving Credit Exposure after its Commitment terminates, on the daily amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure from and including the
date on which its Commitment terminates to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Revolving Credit Exposure. Accrued facility fees shall be payable on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on
the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof; provided that any facility fees accruing after the termination of the Commitments shall be payable on demand. All facility 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 Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of
Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s L/C Exposure during the period from and including the Effective
Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any L/C Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of
0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of 

  
 Credit

the L/C Exposure during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any L/C
Exposure. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay the relevant Issuing Bank its standard administrative, processing or similar 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 through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after
the Effective 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
any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten days after demand. 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) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to
pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) Payment of Fees. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the relevant Issuing Bank, in the case of fees
payable to it) for distribution, in the case of facility fees and participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 

SECTION 2.10. Interest 
 (a) ABR Loans. The Loans constituting each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

 (b) Eurodollar Loans. The Loans constituting each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal
to the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (c) Default Interest.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear
interest, after as well as before judgment, at the applicable Default Rate. 
 (d) Payment of Interest. Accrued interest
on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon the date the Commitments terminate; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this
Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the Commitment Termination Date), 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 Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Borrowing shall be payable on the
effective date of such conversion. 
 (e) Computation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of
360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or


  
 Credit
Agreement

366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or
LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

SECTION 2.11. Alternate Rate of Interest 
 If prior to the commencement of the Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Interest
Period; or 
 (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the LIBO Rate for such
Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their respective Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or fax as promptly as practicable thereafter and,
until the Administrative Agent notifies the 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 Revolving Borrowing to, or the
continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing (unless prepaid) shall be continued as, or converted to, an ABR Revolving Borrowing and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a
Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.12. Increased Costs

 (a) Statutory Reserves. If any Government Authority shall have in effect at any time during the term of this Agreement
any reserve, liquid asset or similar requirement with respect to any category of deposits or liabilities customarily used to fund Eurodollar Loans (or ABR Loans when the interest rate with respect thereto is governed by clause (c) of the
definition of “Alternate Base Rate”), or by reference to which interest rates applicable to Eurodollar Loans are determined, and the result of such requirement shall be to increase the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining any
Eurodollar Loans and such Lender shall have requested, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which notice shall specify the Statutory Reserve Rate applicable to such Lender), compensation under this Section 2.12(a), then the
Borrower will pay to such Lender on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December in each year (commencing with the first such day after the date hereof) following delivery of such notice (until the earlier of the date such Lender
shall advise the Borrower that such requirement is no longer in effect or the date such Lender shall withdraw such request) additional interest on each Eurodollar Loan of such Lender outstanding during the fiscal quarter ending on such Business Day
at a rate per annum equal to (i) the rate otherwise applicable to such Eurodollar Loan (the “Applicable Interest Rate”) multiplied by the Statutory Reserve Rate (expressed as a fraction equal to 1 divided by 1 minus the
Statutory Reserve Rate) minus (ii) the Applicable Interest Rate. 
 (b) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in
Law shall: 
 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against
assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any 

  
 Credit
Agreement

Lender or any Issuing Bank (except any reserve requirement covered by paragraph (a) of this Section); 

(ii) subject any Lender or any Issuing Bank to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter
of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or Issuing Bank in respect thereof (except for (A) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by
Section 2.14(a) and (B) the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or Issuing Bank); or 
 (iii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or
any Letter of Credit or participation therein (except any reserve requirement covered by paragraph (a) of this Section); 
 and the result
of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such
Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit) other than any cost related to Taxes or to reduce the amount of any sum
received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender shall be entitled to request compensation
under this Section for any such costs relating to DFA or Basel III unless, at the time of such request, such Lender is assessing similarly situated borrowers for such costs under similar credit facilities (with equivalent terms) entered into on or
prior to the date of the relevant Change in Law (provided that such Lender shall be permitted to assess such costs under such credit facilities). 
 (c) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such
Lender’s or 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, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in
Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by any 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), then from time to time the
Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

 (d) Certificates from Lenders. A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the amount
or amounts (and the basis therefor) necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower 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. 

(e) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section
shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing

Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any costs or reductions
incurred more than three months prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower of the event giving rise to such costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor;
provided further that, if the event giving rise to such costs or reductions is retroactive, then the three month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

SECTION 2.13. Break Funding Payments 
 In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the
conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of
whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.08(b) and is revoked in accordance herewith) or (d) the assignment as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16(b) of any Eurodollar Loan other than
on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss (other than anticipated profits) attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the loss to any Lender
attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan
for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that
would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such
principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for Dollar deposits from other banks in the eurodollar market
at the commencement of such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts (and the basis therefor) that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. 
 SECTION 2.14. Taxes 
 (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all
payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or the Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, except as required by applicable
law, rule or regulation; provided that if the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary
so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or the relevant Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it
would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, rule or
regulation.

 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any
Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, rule or regulation. 
 (c)
Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
(including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or
liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten days after
demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the
Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such
Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative
Agent under this paragraph (d). 
 (e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the
return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (f)
U.S. Withholding Taxes. (i) Any Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a
party, with respect to payments under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, rule or regulation or reasonably requested
by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law, rule or regulation as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. Each such Non-U.S. Lender shall also deliver to
the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) such further documentation on or before the date that any documentation previously delivered to the Borrower hereunder shall expire or become obsolete and after the occurrence of any event
requiring a change in such previously delivered documentation. Each such Non-U.S. Lender 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such Lender’s legal inability to do so.

 (ii) If a payment made to a Lender hereunder would be subject to U.S. federal
withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law, rule or regulation and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law, rule or
regulation (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to
comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this
clause (ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 (g)
Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from the Governmental Authority to which such Taxes were paid
and as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or
additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank,
agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative Agent, such
Lender or Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph (g) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to make available its tax returns (or any
other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person or to repay to the Borrower amounts in respect of any indirect tax benefit received by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank
arising out of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower. 
 SECTION 2.15.
Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set offs 
 (a) Payments by Borrower. The Borrower shall make
each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of L/C Borrowings, or of other amounts payable under Section 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 2.17, 2.18 or otherwise) or under any other Loan Document
(except to the extent otherwise provided therein) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the
discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent’s Office, except payments to
be made directly to the Swingline Lender or the relevant Issuing Bank as expressly provided under Section 2.17 and 2.18 and payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03, which shall be made directly to other Persons entitled
thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly (but in no event later than the next succeeding Business Day) after receipt thereof. If any
payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the 

  
 Credit
Agreement 









  
 - 31 -


 
case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars. 

(b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative
Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed L/C Borrowings, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in
accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal and unreimbursed L/C Borrowings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of
principal and unreimbursed L/C Borrowings then due to such parties. 
 (c) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent
otherwise provided herein: (i) each Revolving Borrowing shall be made from the Lenders and shall be allocated pro rata among such Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (in the case of the making of Revolving Loans) or
their respective Revolving Loans that are to be included in such Borrowing (in the case of conversions and continuations of Revolving Loans); (ii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Loans by the Borrower shall be made for
account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Loans held by them thereunder; and (iii) each payment of interest on Revolving Loans by the Borrower, and each payment of facility fees
and Letter of Credit fees, shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans or such fees, as the case may be, then due and payable to them. 

(d) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain
payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving
Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon then due thereunder than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face
value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the
aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of
the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to
any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in
Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may
effectively do so under applicable law, rule or regulation that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as
fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 (e) Presumptions of
Payment. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not
make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the
amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then 

  
 Credit
Agreement 









  
 - 32 -


 
each Lender or the relevant Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing
Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 (f) Certain Deductions by the
Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.15(e), Section 2.17(c), Section 2.18(d) or Section 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its
discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing
Banks to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it 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 application to, any future
funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion. 

SECTION 2.16. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders 

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12 or
(ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending
office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or
reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.
The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14 (and, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.16(a)),
(iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (iv) any Lender has failed to consent to any proposed amendment or waiver with respect to this Agreement that requires the consent of all the Lenders or all the Lenders affected thereby and
with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse
(in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an eligible assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if
a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if a Commitment is being assigned, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank (which
consent, in each case, shall not unreasonably be withheld), (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, accrued
interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of
any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under 

  
 Credit
Agreement 









  
 - 33 -


 
Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter, (iv) such assignment
does not conflict with any applicable law, rule or regulation and (v) in the case of any such assignment resulting from the failure of any Lender to consent to a waiver or amendment as provided above, the assignee shall have agreed to consent
to such waiver or amendment. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and
delegation cease to apply. 
 SECTION 2.17. Swingline Loans 

(a) Agreement to Make Swingline Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make
Swingline Loans in Dollars to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans
exceeding the Swingline Sublimit or (ii) the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the total Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan.
Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. Immediately upon the making of a Swingline Loan by the Swingline Lender, each Lender shall be deemed
to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swingline Lender a participation in such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of such Swingline Loan. 

(b) Notice of Swingline Loans by the Borrower. To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of
such request by telephone (confirmed by fax), not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed 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 Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender shall make each
Swingline Loan available to the Borrower (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Borrowing as provided in Section 2.18(e), by remittance to the relevant Issuing Bank), in immediately available funds by
wire transfer thereof in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Swingline Lender, not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. 

(c) Refinancing of Swingline Loans. 
 (i) The Swingline Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to so request on its behalf),
that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including the conditions set forth in Section 4.02), each Lender make an ABR Revolving Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swingline
Loans made by the Swingline Lender then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Borrowing Request for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of paragraph (b) of this
Section. The Swingline Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of such Borrowing Request promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount
specified in such Borrowing Request available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swingline Loan) for the account of the
Swingline Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office 

  
 Credit
Agreement 









  
 - 34 -


 
not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day specified in such Borrowing Request, whereupon, subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, each Lender that so makes funds
available shall be deemed to have made an ABR Loan to the Borrower in such amount. 
 (ii) If for any reason any
Swingline Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c)(i) of this Section, the request for ABR Loans submitted by the Swingline Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the
Swingline Lender that each of the Lenders fund its participation in the relevant Swingline Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender pursuant to such paragraph (c)(i) shall be deemed
payment in respect of such participation. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan funded pursuant to this clause (ii), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan (to the
extent of such funded participations) shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. 
 (iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
paragraph (c) by the time specified in paragraph (c)(i), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the
date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect and a rate determined by the
Swingline Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swingline Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays
such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant Revolving Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swingline Loan, as the case may be. A
certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(iv) Each Lender’s obligation to purchase and fund participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this
paragraph (c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swingline Lender, the
Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, (C) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document by the Borrower or any other Lender or (E) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, and the payment of each such obligation shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding
or reduction whatsoever. No such funding of participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swingline Loans, together with interest as provided herein. 

(v) If the Commitment Termination Date shall have occurred in respect of any tranche of Commitments at a time when
another tranche or tranches of Commitments is or are in effect with a later Commitment Termination, then on the earliest occurring Commitment Termination Date all then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on such date (and there shall
be no adjustment to the participations of the Lenders in such Swingline Loans as a result of the occurrence of such Commitment Termination Date); provided that if on the occurrence of such earliest Commitment Termination Date (after giving
effect to any repayments of Revolving Loans and any reallocation of Letter of Credit participations as contemplated in Section 2.18(d)(vii)), 

  
 Credit
Agreement 









  
 - 35 -


 
there shall exist sufficient unutilized Extended Commitments so that the respective outstanding Swingline Loans could be incurred pursuant to the Extended Commitments that will remain in effect
after the occurrence of such Commitment Termination Date, then there shall be an automatic adjustment on such date of the participations in such Swingline Loans among the Lenders with Extended Commitments with Commitment Termination Dates occurring
after such date and the same shall be deemed to have been incurred solely pursuant to such Extended Commitments, and such Swingline Loans shall not be so required to be repaid in full on such earliest Commitment Termination Date. 

(d) Repayment of Participations. 
 (i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a participation in a Swingline Loan, if the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of such Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender will
promptly remit such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such payment to the Administrative Agent (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participation was funded) in
like funds as received by the Swingline Lender, and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent will be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have funded their participations pursuant to paragraph (c)(ii) of
this Section to the extent of their interests therein. 
 (ii) If any payment received by the Swingline Lender
in respect of principal or interest on any Swingline Loan is required to be returned by the Swingline Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 9.15 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swingline Lender in
its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swingline Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned at a rate per annum equal
to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swingline Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause (ii) shall survive the payment in full of
the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
 (e) Interest for Account of Swingline Lender. Until each Lender
funds its ABR Loan or participation pursuant to this Section to refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swingline Loan made by the Swingline Lender, interest in respect of such Lender’s share thereof shall be solely for the
account of the Swingline Lender. 
 (f) Payments Directly to Swingline Lender. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, the Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swingline Loans directly to the Swingline Lender. 
 SECTION 2.18. Letters of Credit 
 (a) General. 

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in addition to the Loans provided for in
Section 2.01, at the request of the Borrower, each Issuing Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for the account of the Borrower in such form as is acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its reasonable determination, at any
time prior to the date that is five Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date (or, if there is more than one tranche of Commitments in effect at any time, five Business Days prior to the then latest scheduled


  
 Credit
Agreement 









  
 - 36 -


 
Commitment Termination Date), or to increase, amend or extend any previously issued such Letter of Credit, in an aggregate amount that will not result, after giving effect thereto, in
(A) each Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Commitment, (B) the total Revolving Credit Exposures of all Lenders exceeding the total Commitments, (C) the total L/C Exposure of the Issuing Banks
(determined for these purposes without giving effect to the participations therein of the Lenders pursuant to this Section) exceeding the L/C Sublimit and (D) if at such time there are Extended Commitments, the total L/C Exposure of the Issuing
Banks (determined for these purposes without giving effect to the participations therein of the Lenders pursuant to this Section) with respect to Letters of Credit that have an expiry date after the earliest Commitment Termination Date exceeding the
total Extended Commitments. 
 Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute utilization of the respective
Commitments under which such Letters of Credit are so issued. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit by any Issuing Bank, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such
Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit. If there is more than one tranche of Commitments in effect at any time and, upon the
Commitment Termination Date in respect of any such tranche, there are outstanding Letters of Credit, such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Lenders to purchase
participations therein and to make payments in respect thereof pursuant to this Section) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Commitments in respect of such non-terminating tranches (it being understood that the
participations therein of Lenders under the maturing tranche shall be correspondingly released) and, to the extent necessary, the Borrower shall prepay outstanding Swingline Loans and/or Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.08 on such
Commitment Termination Date in an amount sufficient to permit the reallocation of the L/C Exposure relating to such outstanding Letters of Credit contemplated hereby. 

(ii) No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (A) any order, judgment or
decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law, rule or regulation applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in
particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or
shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; (B) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent
and such Issuing Bank, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $50,000; and (C) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder. 

(iii) No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to make any L/C Credit Extension if (A) such Issuing Bank would
have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment thereto. 

(b) Notice of Issuance, Increase, Amendment or Extension. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the increase,
amendment or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or fax (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so 

  
 Credit
Agreement 









  
 - 37 -


 
have been approved by the respective Issuing Bank) to the relevant Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, increase, amendment or
extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be increased, amended or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, increase, amendment or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the
date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, and such other information as shall be necessary to
prepare, increase, amend or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the respective Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit an L/C Application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit.
Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the relevant Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance, increase, amendment or extension, including any L/C
Documents, as such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of L/C Application or other agreement
submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control (it being understood that this Agreement contains all of the
representations and warranties, covenants and Defaults and Events of Default and any other provisions not related to the technical terms of any Letter of Credit which shall be applicable to any Letter of Credit). Promptly after its delivery of any
Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the relevant Issuing Bank will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such
Letter of Credit or amendment. 
 (c) Expiration Date; Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit. Each Letter of Credit shall expire
at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date twelve months after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any extension thereof, twelve months after the then-current expiration date of such
Letter of Credit) and (ii) (subject to proviso below) the day that is five Business Days prior to the scheduled Commitment Termination Date (or, if there is more than one tranche of Commitments at any time, the earliest scheduled Commitment
Termination Date); provided that, if there are Extended Commitments at any time, a Letter of Credit may expire after the date specified in clause (ii) above (but in no event later than five Business Days prior to the latest scheduled
Commitment Termination Date), provided that (x) the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit occurs after such earliest Commitment Termination Date or (y) on the date of (and after giving effect to) such issuance, the condition set
forth in clause (D) of the first paragraph of Section 2.18(a)(i) shall be satisfied. If the Borrower so requests in any applicable L/C Application, the relevant Issuing Bank agrees to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal
provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit shall permit such Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with
the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of
Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the relevant Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such Issuing Bank for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders
shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the relevant Issuing Bank to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date permitted under the first sentence of this paragraph (c). 

(d) Drawings and Reimbursement; Funding of Participations. 

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the
relevant Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof, and such Issuing Bank shall, within a reasonable time following its 

  
 Credit
Agreement 









  
 - 38 -


 
receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. Upon payment by such Issuing Bank of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, the
Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Bank through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the date on which such payment
is made. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse such Issuing Bank by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”) and the amount of
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Borrowing of ABR Loans to be disbursed on such Business Day in an amount equal to such Unreimbursed Amount, but subject to
the terms and conditions set forth herein (including the conditions set forth in Section 4.02, but excluding delivery of a Borrowing Request). Any notice given by an Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this clause (i) may
be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 

(ii) Each applicable Lender (including each Lender acting as an Issuing Bank) shall upon any notice pursuant to
paragraph (d)(i) of this Section make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the relevant Issuing Bank at the Administrative Agent’s Office for payments in an
amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the relevant Unreimbursed Amount not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of
paragraph (d)(iii) of this Section, each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made such ABR Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the relevant Issuing Bank.

 (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by an ABR Borrowing for any
reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the relevant Issuing Bank an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest)
and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (d)(i) of this Section shall be deemed payment in respect of
its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section. 

(iv) Until each Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank for any amount
drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such Issuing Bank. 

(v) Each Lender’s obligations to make L/C Advances to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank for amounts drawn under
Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this paragraph (d), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may
have against such Issuing Bank, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, (C) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (D) any
breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower or any other Lender or (E) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, and each such L/C Advance shall be made without any offset,
abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. No such funding of a participation in any Letter 

  
 Credit
Agreement 









  
 - 39 -


 
of Credit shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank for the amount of any payment made by such Issuing Bank under such Letter of
Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (d) by the time specified in paragraph (d)(ii) of this Section, then,
without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such
payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect and a rate determined by such Issuing Bank
in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Issuing Bank in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with
interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the relevant
Issuing Bank submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(e) Repayment of Participations. 
 (i) If, at any time after an Issuing Bank has made payment in respect of any drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it and has received from any Lender its L/C Advance in respect of such payment in
accordance with Section 2.18(d)(ii), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such Issuing Bank any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise,
including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the
period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. 
 (ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.17(d)(ii) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in
Section 9.15 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Issuing Bank in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the
Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders
under this clause (ii) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
 (f)
Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of: 

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit or any term or provision thereof, any Loan
Document, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; 

  
 Credit
Agreement 









  
 - 40 -


 (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other
right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the relevant Issuing Bank or any other Person,
whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 
 (iv) any payment by the relevant Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not comply strictly with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

 (v) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of
or consent to departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit; or 
 (vi) any act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the relevant Issuing Bank, any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other Person, or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or
not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a defense available to, or discharge of, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. 

(g) Role of Issuing Bank. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the relevant
Issuing Bank shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any document or
the authority of the Person executing or delivering any document. None of the relevant Issuing Bank, any Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of such Issuing Bank shall be liable to any Lender for
(i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the requisite Lenders; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due
execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or any L/C Application. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts of omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect
to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other
agreement. None of the relevant Issuing Bank, any Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of such Issuing Bank shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 2.18(f);
provided that, notwithstanding anything in such clauses to the contrary, the Borrower may have a claim against such Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct (as
opposed to indirect, special, punitive, consequential or exemplary) damages suffered by the Borrower which a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final nonappealable judgment were caused by such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct or such Issuing Bank’s willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and
conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the relevant Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any
notice or information to the contrary, and such Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument 

  
 Credit
Agreement

transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or
ineffective for any reason. 
 (h) Applicability of ISP98. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the relevant Issuing Bank
and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at
the time of issuance), and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the law of the State of New York, shall apply to such Letter of Credit. 
 (i) Reporting. Not later than the third Business Day following the last day of each month (or at such other intervals as the Administrative Agent and the relevant Issuing Bank shall agree), each
Issuing Bank shall provide to the Administrative Agent a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account
party, the original face amount (if any), the expiration date, and the reference number of any Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during such month, and showing the aggregate amount (if any) payable by the Borrower to such Issuing Bank during
such month. 
 (j) Cash Collateral. If (i) an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Borrower
receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lender (or, if the Commitments have terminated, Lenders representing more than 50% of the total L/C Exposure) demanding the deposit of Cash Collateral pursuant to this paragraph or
(ii) the Borrower shall be required to provide cover for L/C Exposure pursuant to Section 2.19, the Borrower shall immediately deposit into an account established and maintained on the books and records of the Administrative Agent, which
account may be a “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8 501 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York), in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an
amount in cash in Dollars equal to (x) in the case of an Event of Default, 103% of the sum of L/C Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and (y) in the case of cover pursuant to Section 2.19, the
amount required thereunder; provided that the obligation to deposit such Cash Collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the L/C Exposure under this Agreement, and for
this purpose the Borrower hereby grants a security interest to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in such collateral account and in any financial assets (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) or other property held
therein. 
 SECTION 2.19. Defaulting Lenders 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions
shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (a) facility fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of
such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(a) (except to the extent allocable to (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans funded by it and (ii) its outstanding Swingline Exposure and/or LC Exposure for which
such Defaulting Lender has provided Cash Collateral to the relevant Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder); 
 (b) the
Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder 

  
 Credit
Agreement 









  
 - 42 -


 
(including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02), except that (i) the Commitment(s) of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or
extended, or the maturity of any of its Loans may not be extended, the rate of interest on any of its Loans may not be reduced and the principal amount of any of its Loans may not be forgiven, in each case without the consent of such Defaulting
Lender and (ii) any amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of all the Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than the other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such
Defaulting Lender; 
 (c) if any Swingline Exposure or L/C Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender
then: 
 (i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be
reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline
Exposure and L/C Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments; 
 (ii) if
the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and
(y) second, Cash Collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to
clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.18(j) for so long as such L/C Exposure is outstanding; 
 (iii) if the Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any Letter of Credit fees
to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is Cash Collateralized; 

(iv) if the L/C Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the Letter
of Credit fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.09(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and 

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is neither reallocated nor Cash Collateralized
pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 2.09(a) (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such L/C Exposure) and Letter of Credit fees payable under Section 2.09(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s
L/C Exposure shall be payable to the relevant Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such L/C Exposure is reallocated and/or Cash Collateralized; and 
 (d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to make any L/C Credit Extension, unless it
is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding L/C Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or Cash Collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with
Section 2.19(c), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated 

  
 Credit
Agreement 









  
 - 43 -


 
among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.19(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). 

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to any Person as to which any Lender is, directly or indirectly, a Subsidiary shall occur
following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in
which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to make any L/C Credit Extension, unless the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder. 

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks each agrees that a Defaulting Lender
has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and L/C Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such
Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business, except to the extent the failure to so own or so use could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.

agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein or therein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

 The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice,
request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by
telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the 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 and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and
any such sub agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of
the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower. In addition, the Required
Lenders may remove the Administrative Agent at any time, upon 30 days notice to the Administrative Agent. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor administrative agent from among the Lenders. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the
retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation or is removed, then the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective and (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and (2) the Required Lenders shall perform the duties of the Administrative Agent (and all payments and communications provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent

shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly) until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of its
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as
those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect
for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent. 

Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this
Agreement, any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 Anything herein
to the contrary notwithstanding, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall not have any duties or responsibilities under this Agreement, except in their capacity, if any, as
Lenders hereunder.

in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, such notice or other communication (other than any notice given

 SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments 

(a) No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in
exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would
otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or an L/C Credit Extension shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default,
regardless of whether Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
 (b) Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the
Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders (except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.06(d) and 6.02); provided that no such agreement shall: 

(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender; 

  
 Credit
Agreement 









  
 - 58 -


 (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or L/C Borrowing or reduce the
rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; 
 (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or L/C Borrowing, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such
payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; 
 (iv) change paragraph (c) or (d) of Section 2.15 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby;
or 
 (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage in the definition of the term
“Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent
of each Lender; 
 provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the
Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be. 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in connection with an amendment (or an amendment and restatement of this Agreement that
requires the consent of all the Lenders affected thereby pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence with respect to which the Required Lenders have granted their consent but one or more other Lenders have not consented (each such non-consenting
Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”), this Agreement may be amended or amended and restated in its entirety by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower, all the Lenders (other than any Non-Consenting Lenders) and the
Administrative Agent; provided that (A) the Commitment of each Non-Consenting Lender shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and restatement by the terms thereof and (B) at the time of such effectiveness, each
Non-Consenting Lender receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all fees owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement. 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may amend or modify this Agreement without the consent of any
Lender or the Required Lenders (but with the consent of the Borrower) to correct an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical nature. 
 SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver 
 (a) Costs and
Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in
connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of no more than one counsel for the Administrative
Agent, and one counsel for the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (unless, as reasonably determined by such counsel for the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, 

  
 Credit
Agreement 









  
 - 59 -


 
representation of any Lender or Issuing Bank by such counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interest between such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and
any other Lender(s) and Issuing Bank(s), in which case such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall have the right to employ separate counsel, at the Borrower’s expense), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in
connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including in connection with any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect
thereof. 
 (b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and
each Issuing Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related
expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution, delivery, enforcement,
performance or administration of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the
proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit),
(iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto;
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from (x) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or a material breach in bad faith of its obligations hereunder by, such Indemnitee or (y) any action, suit, proceeding or claim solely among Indemnitees that
does not involve an act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, other than any such action, suit, proceeding or claim against the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank in its capacity, or in fulfilling its
role, as Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or an Issuing Bank, respectively, hereunder. 
 (c) Reimbursement by
Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees
to pay to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such
unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline
Lender in its capacity as such. 
 (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection
with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any Letter of Credit or the use thereof. 

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

 SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns 

(a) Assignments Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not (unless permitted by Section 6.02) assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or
otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors
and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related
Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) Assignments by Lenders. (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of: 

(A) the Borrower, provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment unless, within ten
Business Days after receipt of notice thereof by an officer of the Borrower that has been designated in writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for this purpose (or, failing any such designation, by the treasurer or chief financial
officer of the Borrower) and confirmation of such receipt by the Borrower in writing or by telephone, fax or other electronic communication to the Administrative Agent, it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent or
shall have indicated in writing to the Administrative Agent and the relevant assignor that it needs additional time or information to evaluate the request; provided further that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment
to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender (in each case, other than a Defaulting Lender) or, if an Event of Default under clause (a) or (b) of Article VII (with respect to principal, interest or fees payable hereunder only) or an Event
of Default with respect to the Borrower under clause (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; 
 (B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment by a Lender to any Affiliate of such Lender or to another Lender (in each
case, other than a Defaulting Lender); 
 (C) each Issuing Bank; and 

(D) the Swingline Lender. 
 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 
 (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the
Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is 

  
 Credit
Agreement 









  
 - 61 -


 
delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the
Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default with respect to the Borrower under clause (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing; 

(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, except that this clause (B) shall not apply to the Swingline Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swingline Loans made by it; 

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption,
together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 from the assignor or assignee; and 
 (D) the assignee,
if it shall not be a Lender immediately prior to such assignment, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section, 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 Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
paragraph (b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. 

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for
tax purposes), 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 amount of the Loans and
L/C Borrowings owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks 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. The Register shall be available for inspection by the
Borrower, the Issuing Banks and any Lender (with respect to its own interests only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (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 (unless the assignee shall
already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b)(ii)(C) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by this paragraph (b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such
Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.15(d), 2.17(c), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have


  
 Credit
Agreement 









  
 - 62 -


 
been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this
paragraph (b). 
 (c) Participations. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to
Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (1) shall be subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.14(f) (it being understood that
the documentation required under Section 2.14(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender); (2) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.15 and 2.16 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section;
and (3) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.14, with respect to any participation than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive
a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after such Participant acquired the applicable participation. 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 such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15(d) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (and such agency
being solely for tax purposes), maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this
Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information
relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit, promissory note or other obligations under any Loan Document) except if additional payments under Sections 2.12 and 2.14 are requested with respect to such
Participant and except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit, promissory note or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury
Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this
Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

(d) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under
this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 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. 

  
 Credit

 (e) No Assignments to Certain Persons. Anything in this Section to the contrary
notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to (i) the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries without the prior consent of each Lender, (ii) any Defaulting Lender or any of
its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (ii) or (iii) a natural person. 

SECTION 9.05. Survival 
 All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be
considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and any other Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and any L/C Credit Extension, 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 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03 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 Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit or the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness 

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract between and
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 which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by fax or other electronic transmission shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.07. Severability 

Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction
shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff 

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under clause (a) or (b) of Article VII, 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 

  
 Credit

 - 64 -


 
demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all
the obligations of the Borrower then due and payable under this Agreement held by such Lender or Issuing Bank. The rights of each Lender and each Issuing Bank under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of
setoff) which such Lender or Issuing Bank may have. 
 SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc 

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

 (b) Submission to Jurisdiction. The Borrower 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, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may
be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding

 EXHIBIT B-1 
 [Form of Opinion of Special New Jersey Counsel to the Borrower] 
 October 12, 2011

 To the Lenders party to the 
 Credit
Agreement referred to below and 
 JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent 
 Sir or Madam: 
 We have acted as special counsel in the State of New Jersey (the
“State”) to C. R. Bard, Inc. (the “Borrower”) in connection with that certain Credit Agreement dated as of October 12, 2011 by and among the Borrower, certain lenders named therein and JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Credit Agreement”). For the purposes of rendering the opinions set forth herein, we have examined the executed Credit Agreement and such certificates of public officials, documents and records of
the Borrower as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below. 
 In our examination of the documents
referred to above, and in rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed that: 
 (a) all documents submitted to us as
originals are authentic and all documents submitted to us as copies or drafts conform to the originals or final copies thereof; and 
 (b) all natural persons signing the documents submitted to us had the requisite legal capacity to do so, and all signatures of all parties on all documents submitted to us are genuine. 

We are qualified to practice law in the State and we do not purport to be experts on, and do not express any opinion as to, any laws of
any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State. This opinion assumes, without expression of opinion, that the laws of the State apply to all matters covered hereby. 

Based upon the foregoing and upon such investigation as we have deemed necessary, and subject to the exceptions and qualifications
hereinafter set forth, we are of the opinion that: 
 1. The Borrower is a corporation which, based solely upon a Long
Form Good Standing With Charter Documents Certificate issued on September 26, 2011 by the State of New Jersey, Department of Treasury, and a Short Form Good Standing Certificate issued on October 12, 2011 by the State of New
Jersey, Department of Treasury, was duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State. The Borrower has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted. 

2. The Borrower has the corporate power to enter into and perform its obligations under the Credit Agreement. 

3. The Borrower has duly authorized, by all necessary corporate action, its execution and delivery of, and performance under, the Credit
Agreement. 

  
 Opinion of
Special New Jersey Counsel to the Borrower 









  
 - 2 -

  

 4. The Credit Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower. 

5. The execution and delivery of, and performance under, the Credit Agreement by the Borrower (i) do not require any consent or
approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in the State, and (ii) will not violate any applicable law or regulation in the State or the charter, by-laws or
other organizational documents of the Borrower. 
 The foregoing expresses our legal opinions as to the matters set forth above
based upon our professional knowledge and judgment. This opinion letter should not be construed as a guarantee that a court considering such matters will not rule in a manner contrary to the opinions set forth above. No opinions are to be implied or
inferred beyond the opinions expressly stated herein. 
 We are not general counsel to the Borrower, and the Borrower is and has
been represented by other counsel in this matter and in different matters. Consequently, we may not necessarily have knowledge of all relevant facts concerning the Borrower in rendering this opinion letter. 

We undertake no obligation to inform you of any matters, whether of law or of fact, which may subsequently come to our attention or
subsequently occur which affect in any way the opinions expressed herein and our opinions expressed herein are based upon our assumption that any court sitting in the State will adhere to existing judicial precedents. 

This opinion letter is being furnished pursuant to Section 4.01(b) of the Credit Agreement, is furnished only to the addressees,
their participants and permitted assignees, and is solely for their benefit in connection with the above transaction. This opinion letter may not be relied upon by any other person, firm or corporation, or for any other purpose, without our prior
written consent. 
 Very truly yours,

of Special New Jersey Counsel to the Borrower

the Lenders and the promissory notes signed by the Borrower and delivered to certain Lenders on the date hereof (the “Closing Date Notes”). In addition, we have examined and have relied as to matters of fact upon, the documents
delivered to you at the closing, and upon originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of
officers and representatives of the Borrower, and have made such other investigations, as we have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinions hereinafter set forth. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies and the
authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. In addition, we have relied as to certain matters of fact upon the representations made in the Credit Agreement. 
 Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that: 

1. The execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Credit Agreement and the Closing Date Notes, its borrowings in
accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and performance of its payment obligations thereunder (a) will not result in any violation of, assuming that proceeds of borrowings will be used in accordance with the terms of the Credit
Agreement, any federal or New York statute or any rule or regulation issued pursuant to any New York or federal statute or any order known to us issued by any court or governmental agency or body and (b) will not breach or result in a default
under or result in the creation of any lien upon or security interest in the Borrower’s properties pursuant to the terms of any indenture, agreement or instrument identified on Schedule II attached to this letter. 

2. No consent, approval, authorization, order, filing, registration or qualification of or with any federal or New York
governmental agency or body is required for the execution and

delivery by the Borrower of the Credit Agreement or the Closing Date Notes, the borrowings by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or the performance by the Borrower
of its payment obligations under the Credit Agreement or the Closing Date Notes. 
 3. Assuming that the Credit
Agreement is a valid and legally binding obligation of each of the parties thereto (other than the Borrower) and assuming that the (a) the Borrower is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of New Jersey and has duly authorized,
executed and delivered the Credit Agreement and each Closing Date Note in accordance with its certificate of incorporation and by-laws, (b) execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Credit Agreement and each Closing Date Note
do not violate the laws of New Jersey or any other applicable laws (excepting the federal laws of the United States and the laws of the State of New York) and (c) execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Credit Agreement and
each Closing Date Note do not constitute a breach of or default under any agreement or instrument which is binding upon the Borrower (except that we do not make the foregoing assumption with respect to the agreements and instruments that are the
subject of opinion paragraph 1 of this letter), the Credit Agreement and each Closing Date Note constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms. 

4. The Borrower is not an “investment company” within the meaning of and subject to regulation under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
 5. Assuming that the Borrower will comply with the
provisions of the Credit Agreement relating to the use of proceeds, the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement by the Borrower and the making of the Loans under the Credit Agreement will not violate Regulation T, U or X of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. 
 Our opinion in paragraph 3 above is subject to (i) the effects of
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law) and (iii) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. 
 We express no opinion with respect to: 

(i) the effect of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any Closing Date Notes that is intended to permit modification thereof only by
means of an agreement in writing signed by the parties thereto; 
 (ii) the effect of any provision of the Credit Agreement
insofar as it provides that any Person purchasing a participation from a Lender or other Person may exercise set-off or similar rights with respect to such participation or that any Lender or other Person may exercise set-off or similar rights other
than in accordance with applicable law; 
 (iii) the effect of any provision of the Credit Agreement imposing penalties or
forfeitures; 
 (iv) the enforceability of any provision of the Credit Agreement to the extent that such provision constitutes a
waiver of illegality as a defense to the performance of contract obligations; and 
 (v) the effect of any provision of the
Credit Agreement relating to indemnification or exculpation in connection with violations of any securities laws or relating to indemnification,

contribution or exculpation in connection with willful, reckless or criminal acts or gross negligence of the indemnified or exculpated Person or the Person receiving contribution. 

In connection with the provisions of the Credit Agreement whereby the Borrower submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the United
States of America located in the State and County of New York, we note the limitations of 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1332 on subject matter jurisdiction of the federal courts. In connection with the provisions of the Credit Agreement that
relate to forum selection (including, without limitation, any waiver of any objection to venue or any objection that a court is an inconvenient forum), we note that under NYCPLR §510 a New York state court may have discretion to transfer the
place of trial, and under 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) a United States district court has discretion to transfer an action from one federal court to another. 
 With respect to matters of New Jersey law, we understand that you are relying on the opinion of Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP dated the date hereof. 

We do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the law of the State of New York and the federal law of the United
States. 
 This opinion letter is rendered to you in connection with the above described transactions. This opinion letter may
not be relied upon by you for any other purpose, or relied upon by, or furnished to, any other person, firm or corporation without our prior written consent, except that this opinion letter may be furnished, but may not be relied upon, without our
prior written consent (i) in connection with any proceedings relating to the Credit Agreement or the enforcement thereof, (ii) to accountants and counsel for any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (iii) to bank and insurance company
examiners and (iv) to any person that purchases an interest in or participation in the Credit Agreement. 

Very truly yours, 
 SIMPSON THACHER & BARTLETT LLP

 EXHIBIT C 
 [Form of Opinion of Special New York Counsel to JPMCB] 
 October 12, 2011

 To the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement 
 referred to below and 
 JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 

as Administrative Agent 
 Ladies and Gentlemen:

 We have acted as special New York counsel to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) in connection with the
Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) dated as of October 12, 2011, between C. R. Bard, Inc. (the “Borrower”), the lenders party thereto and JPMCB, as Administrative Agent. Terms defined in the Credit
Agreement are used herein as defined therein. This opinion letter is being delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(c) of the Credit Agreement. 
 In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have examined the Credit Agreement. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us
as originals and the conformity with the authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. When relevant facts were not independently established, we have relied upon representations made in or pursuant to the Credit
Agreement. We have also assumed that the Credit Agreement has been duly authorized by, has been duly executed and delivered by, and (except, to the extent set forth below, as to the Borrower) constitutes legal, valid, binding and enforceable
obligations of, all of the parties thereto, that all signatories thereto have been duly authorized and that all such parties are duly organized and validly existing and have the power and authority (corporate or other) to execute, deliver and
perform the Credit Agreement. 
 Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject also to the comments and qualifications set
forth below, and having considered such questions of law as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below, we are of the opinion that the Credit Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower,
enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors
generally and except as the enforceability of the Credit Agreement is subject to the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including (a) the possible unavailability
of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy and (b) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing. 
 The foregoing opinions are subject to the following comments and qualifications: 
 (A) The enforceability of Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement may be limited by (i) laws rendering unenforceable indemnification contrary to Federal or state securities laws and the public
policy underlying such laws and (ii) laws limiting the enforceability of provisions exculpating or exempting a party from, or requiring indemnification of a party for, liability for its own action or inaction, to the extent the action or
inaction involves gross negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct or unlawful conduct. 

  
 Opinion of
Special New York Counsel to JPMCB

 (B) The enforceability of provisions in the Credit Agreement to the effect
that terms may not be waived or modified except in writing may be limited under certain circumstances. 
 (C) We
express no opinion as to (i) the effect of the laws of any jurisdiction in which any Lender is located (other than the State of New York) that limit the interest, fees or other charges such Lender may impose for the loan or use of money or
other credit, (ii) the last sentence of Section 2.15(d) of the Credit Agreement, (iii) the fourth sentence of Section 9.04(c) of the Credit Agreement, (iv) Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement, (v) the first
sentence of Section 9.09(b) of the Credit Agreement, insofar as such sentence relates to the subject matter-jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to adjudicate any controversy related to the
Credit Agreement or (vi) the waiver of inconvenient forum in Section 9.09(c) of the Credit Agreement, with respect to proceedings in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. 

The foregoing opinions are limited to matters involving the Federal laws of the United States of America and the law of the State of New
York, and we do not express any opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. 
 At the request of our client, this opinion
letter is, pursuant to Section 4.01(c) of the Credit Agreement, provided to you by us in our capacity as special New York counsel to JPMCB and may not be relied upon by any person for any purpose other than in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Credit Agreement without, in each instance, our prior written consent. 
 Very truly
yours, 
 WJM/MJB
