 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED 5-YEAR CREDIT AGREEMENT
(this “Agreement”), dated as of June 17, 2021, between INTERNATIONAL PAPER COMPANY, the LENDERS party hereto, and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as Administrative Agent. 

WHEREAS, the Company, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent thereunder, are currently party to the
Amended and Restated 5-Year Credit Agreement, dated as of October 16, 2020 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”); 

WHEREAS, the Company, the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent have agreed to enter into this Agreement in order to (i) amend and
restate the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety; (ii) modify and re-evidence the obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement, which shall be repayable in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement; and (iii) set forth the terms and conditions under which the Lenders will, from time to time, make loans and extend other financial accommodations to or for the benefit of the Borrowers; 

WHEREAS, it is the intent of the parties hereto that this Agreement not constitute a novation of the obligations and liabilities of the
parties under the Existing Credit Agreement or be deemed to evidence or constitute full repayment of such obligations and liabilities, but that this Agreement amend and restate in its entirety the Existing Credit Agreement and modify and re-evidence the obligations and liabilities of the Company outstanding thereunder, which shall be payable in accordance with the terms hereof; and 

WHEREAS, it is also the intent of the Company to confirm that all obligations under the “Loan Documents” (as referred to and defined
in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall continue in full force and effect as modified and/or restated by the Loan Documents (as referred to and defined herein) and that, from and after the Effective Date, all references to the “Credit
Agreement” contained in any such existing “Loan Documents” shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree that the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows: 

ARTICLE I 
 DEFINITIONS 

SECTION 1.01 Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings specified below: 

“ABR”, when used in reference to any Loan or Borrowing, refers to whether such Loan, or the Loans constituting such Borrowing,
are denominated in Dollars and bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate. 
 “Adjusted
Eurocurrency Rate” means, for the Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Borrowing, an interest rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to the higher of (i)(a) the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest
Period multiplied by (b) the Statutory Reserve Rate for such Interest Period and (ii) 0.0%. 
 “Administrative Agent”
means JPMCB, in its capacity as Administrative Agent for the Lenders hereunder and any successor pursuant to Article VIII. 

  
 1 













 “Administrative Agent’s Account” means, for each Currency, an account
in respect of such Currency designated by the Administrative Agent in a notice to the Company and the Lenders. 
 “Administrative
Questionnaire” means an Administrative Questionnaire in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent. 
 “Affected Financial
Institution” means (a) any EEA Financial Institution or (b) any UK Financial Institution. 
 “Affiliate”
means, with respect to a specified Person, another Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Person specified. 

“Applicable Party” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 9.01(b)(iii). 

“Agreement” has the meaning set forth in the introductory section. 

“Alternate Base Rate” means, for any day, a fluctuating interest rate per annum in effect from time to time, which rate per
annum shall at all times be equal to the highest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) 0.50% per annum above the NYFRB Rate in effect on such day and (c) 1.0% per annum above the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for a one month Interest
Period in Dollars for such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day); provided that, for purposes of this definition, the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for any day shall be based on the LIBOR Screen Rate
(or if the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available for such one month Interest Period, the LIBOR Interpolated Rate) at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time on such day. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB
Rate or the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, respectively. If the Alternate Base Rate is being used as an
alternate rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.12 (for the avoidance of doubt, only until the Benchmark Replacement has been determined pursuant to Section 2.12(b)), then the Alternate Base Rate shall be the greater of clauses
(a) and (b) above and shall be determined without reference to clause (c) above. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Alternate Base Rate as determined pursuant to the foregoing would be less than 1.00%, such rate shall be deemed to be 1.00%
for purposes of this Agreement. 
 “Ancillary Document” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 9.06. 

“Anti-corruption Laws” means the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 and the UK Bribery Act of 2010. 

“Applicable Lender” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 2.01(b). 

“Applicable Percentage” means, with respect to any Lender, the percentage of the total Commitments represented by such
Lender’s Commitment. If the Commitments have terminated or expired, the Applicable Percentages shall be determined based upon the Commitments most recently in effect, giving effect to any assignments. 

  
 2 













 “Applicable Rate” means, for any day, with respect to the facility fees
payable hereunder, or with respect to any Syndicated Loan, as the case may be, the applicable rate per annum set forth below under the caption “Facility Fee” or “Eurocurrency Margin” and/or “ABR Margin”, respectively,
based upon the long-term debt ratings by Moody’s and S&P, respectively, applicable on such date to the Index Debt: 
  

													
	 Senior unsecured
non-credit enhanced debt rating S&P/Moody’s
	  	Facility
Fee	 	  	Eurocurrency Margin	 	  	ABR
Margin	 
	 A-/A3 or above

	 BB+/Ba1 or lower
	  	 	22.5 bps	 	  	 	140.0 bps	 	  	 	40.0 bps	 

 For purposes of the foregoing, (i) if either Moody’s or S&P shall not have in effect a rating
for the Index Debt (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the last sentence of this definition), then such rating agency shall be deemed to have established a rating in the lowest category in the schedule above; (ii) if the
ratings established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s and S&P for the Index Debt shall fall within different categories in the schedule above, 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 for the Index Debt shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of Moody’s or S&P), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first
announced by the applicable rating agency. Each change in 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, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Company (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Approved Borrower) and the
Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Rate shall be
determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation. 
 “Approved Borrower”
means (i) each of the entities set forth on Schedule III and (ii) any Wholly Owned Consolidated Subsidiary of the Company as to which a Designation Letter has been delivered to the Administrative Agent and as to which a Termination
Letter shall not have been delivered to the Administrative Agent, which Subsidiary has been approved as a borrower hereunder by the Administrative Agent and the Applicable Lenders, all in accordance with Section 2.01(b).

bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or
manages a Lender. 
 “Assignment and Assumption” means an assignment and assumption entered into by a Lender and an
assignee pursuant to Section 9.04, in substantially the form of Exhibit A or any other form (including electronic records generated by the use of an electronic platform) approved by the Administrative Agent.

to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) or payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof), as applicable, that is or may be used for
determining the length of an Interest Period for any term rate or otherwise, for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated pursuant to this Agreement as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor
for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to clause (f) of Section 2.12. 

“Availability Period” means the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the earlier of the Commitment

European Union. 
 “Bankruptcy Code” means title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code entitled “Bankruptcy”,

 “Benchmark” means, initially, the Relevant Rate;
provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have
occurred with respect to the Relevant Rate or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to clause
(b) or clause (c) of Section 2.12. 
 “Benchmark Replacement” means, for any Available Tenor, the first
alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date; provided that, in the case of any Loan denominated in a Foreign Currency or in the case of an Other
Benchmark Rate Election, “Benchmark Replacement” shall mean the alternative set forth in (3) below: 
 (1) the sum of:
(a) Term SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; 
 (2) the sum of: (a) Daily Simple SOFR and (b) the
related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; 
 (3) the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the
Administrative Agent and the Company as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for
determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for syndicated credit facilities denominated in
the applicable Currency at such time in the United States and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; 

  
 4 













 provided that, in the case of clause (1), such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is
displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion; provided further that, in the case of clause (3), when
such clause is used to determine the Benchmark Replacement in connection with the occurrence of an Other Benchmark Rate Election, the alternate benchmark rate selected by the Administrative Agent and the Company shall be the term benchmark rate that
is used in lieu of a LIBOR-based rate in the relevant other Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities; provided further that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, upon
the occurrence of a Term SOFR Transition Event, and the delivery of a Term SOFR Notice, on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date the “Benchmark Replacement” shall revert to and shall be deemed to be the sum of (a) Term SOFR
and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, as set forth in clause (1) of this definition (subject to the first proviso above). 

If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark
Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 “Benchmark
Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Interest Period and Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark
Replacement: 
 (1) for purposes of clauses (1) and (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the first alternative
set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent: 
 (a) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or
determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body
for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; 
 (b) the
spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that would apply to the fallback rate for a derivative transaction referencing the ISDA
Definitions to be effective upon an index cessation event with respect to such Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; and 
 (2)
for purposes of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been
selected by the Administrative Agent and the Company for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment,
for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and/or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for
determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for syndicated credit facilities denominated in the
applicable Currency at such time; 

  
 5 













 provided that, in the case of clause (1) above, such adjustment is displayed on
a screen or other information service that publishes such Benchmark Replacement Adjustment from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion. 

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or
operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Alternate Base Rate,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of
interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent
decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the
Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such
other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents). 

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means, with respect to any Benchmark, the earliest to occur of the following events with respect
to such then-current Benchmark: 
 (1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the
later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or
indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); 
 (2) in the case of clause (3) of
the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of
such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be no longer representative; provided, that such non-representativeness will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in
such clause (3) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date; 

(3) in the case of a Term SOFR Transition Event, the date that is thirty (30) days after the date a Term SOFR Notice is provided to the
Lenders and the Company pursuant to Section 2.12(c); or 
 (4) in the case of an Early Opt-in
Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, the sixth (6th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election or Other Benchmark Rate
Election, as applicable, is provided to the Lenders, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice
of such Early Opt-in Election or Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, is provided to the Lenders, written notice of objection to such Early Opt-in Election or
Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

SECTION 1.03 Terms Generally. The definitions of terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms
defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase
“without limitation”. The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”. The word “law” shall be construed as referring to all statutes, rules, regulations, codes and
other laws (including official rulings and interpretations thereunder having the force of law), and all judgments, orders and decrees, of all Governmental Authorities. Unless the context requires otherwise (a) any definition of or reference to
any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such

SECTION 1.04 Accounting Terms and Determinations. 

(a) Accounting Terms. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed
in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided that, if the Company notifies the Administrative Agent that the Company requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the
date hereof in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Company that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether
any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such
notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, (i) all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of
amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made (x) without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification 825-10-25 (or any other
Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at “fair value”, as defined therein and
(y) without giving effect to any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or
Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof,
(ii) the accounting for operating leases and capital leases under GAAP as in effect on December 12, 2016 (including, without limitation, Accounting Standards Codification 840) shall apply for the purposes of determining compliance with the
provisions of this Agreement, including the definition of Capital Lease Obligations and (iii) the accounting principles with respect to balance sheet offsetting under GAAP as in effect on the date hereof (including, without limitation,
Accounting Standards Codification 210) shall apply for purposes of determining compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. 
 (b)
Descriptions of Material Variations. The Company shall deliver to the Lenders at the same time as the delivery of any annual or quarterly financial statement under Section 6.01 a description in reasonable detail of any material variation
between the application of accounting principles employed in the preparation of such statement and the application of accounting principles employed in the preparation of the next preceding annual or quarterly financial statements as to which no
objection has been made in accordance with the last sentence of paragraph (a) above and reasonable estimates of the difference between such statements arising as a consequence thereof. 

(c) Changes of Fiscal Years. To enable the ready and consistent determination of compliance with the covenants set forth in Article
VI, the Company will not change the last day of its fiscal year from December 31 of each year, or the last days of the first three fiscal quarters in each of its fiscal years from March 31, June 30 and September 30 of each

 29 













 SECTION 1.05 Currencies; Currency Equivalents. At any time, any reference in any
provision of this Agreement to the Currency of any particular nation means the lawful currency of such nation at such time whether or not the name of such Currency is the same as it was on the date hereof. Except as provided in Section 2.09(b)
and the last sentence of Section 2.17(a), for purposes of determining (i) whether the amount of any Borrowing, together with all other Borrowings then outstanding or to be borrowed at the same time as such Borrowing, would exceed the
aggregate amount of the Commitments, (ii) the aggregate unutilized amount of the Commitments and (iii) the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Borrowings, the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing that is denominated in any
Foreign Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the Foreign Currency of such Borrowing determined as of the date of such Borrowing (determined in accordance with the last sentence of the definition of the term
“Borrowing”). Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Borrowing or Loan an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Borrowing or Loan is denominated in a Foreign Currency, such amount
shall be the relevant Foreign Currency Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest 1,000 units of such Foreign Currency). 

SECTION 1.06 Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on a Loan denominated in a Currency may be derived from an interest
rate benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate
benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the basis on which they are calculated may change. The London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) is intended to represent the
rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) publicly announced that: (a) immediately
after December 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; (b) immediately after June 30,
2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and (c) immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a changed methodology (or
“synthetic”) basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not
change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. Each party to this
agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. Upon the
occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, Section 2.12(b) and Section 2.12(c) provide a mechanism for
determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company, pursuant to Section 2.12(e), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans is based. However, the
Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to LIBOR or other rates in the definition of
“LIBOR Rate” (or “Eur-IBOR Rate”, as applicable) or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such
alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.12(b) or Section 2.12(c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early
Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.12(d)), including without limitation, whether
the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBOR Rate (or the Eur-IBOR
Rate, as applicable) or have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR (or the euro interbank offered rate, as applicable) prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or


  
 30 













 
services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any rate with respect to Eurocurrency Loans, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case to the extent
permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to any Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages,
costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service. 

SECTION 1.07 Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware
law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been
transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its equity
interests at such time. 
 SECTION 1.08 Amendment and Restatement of Existing Credit Agreement. The parties to this Agreement agree
that, upon (i) the execution and delivery by each of the parties hereto of this Agreement and (ii) satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.01, the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be and hereby
are amended, superseded and restated in their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not constitute a novation. All “Loans” made and obligations incurred under the Existing
Credit Agreement which are outstanding on the Effective Date shall continue as Loans and obligations under (and shall be governed by the terms of) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the Effective Date:
(a) all references in the “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) to the “Administrative Agent”, the “Credit Agreement” and the “Loan Documents” shall be deemed to refer to the
Administrative Agent, this Agreement and the Loan Documents and (b) all obligations owed to any Lender or any Affiliate of such Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement which are outstanding on the Effective Date shall continue as obligations
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 ARTICLE II 

THE CREDITS 
 SECTION 2.01 The
Commitments; Borrowings by Approved Borrowers. 
 (a) The Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each
Lender (severally and not jointly) agrees to make Syndicated Loans in Dollars to the Borrowers from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) such Lender’s Revolving Credit
Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Commitment or (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures plus the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Competitive Loans exceeding the total Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and
subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Syndicated Loans. 
 (b) Borrowings by
Approved Borrowers. The Company may, at any time or from time to time during the Availability Period, designate one or more Wholly Owned Consolidated Subsidiaries as Borrowers hereunder by furnishing to the Administrative Agent not less than 10
days prior to the proposed effective date therefor, a letter (a “Designation Letter”) in duplicate, substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1, duly completed and executed by the Company
and such Subsidiary. Following the delivery of a Designation Letter pursuant to this Section 2.01(b), the Company shall, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, supply such documentation and other evidence as is
reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in order for the Administrative Agent or such Lender 

  
 31 













 
to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with the results of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations. Upon approval by
the Administrative Agent and the Applicable Lenders (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) of such Subsidiary as an Approved Borrower, which approval shall be evidenced by the Administrative Agent and the
Applicable Lenders signing and returning to the Company a copy of such Designation Letter, such Subsidiary shall be an Approved Borrower. If the Company shall designate as an Approved Borrower hereunder any Subsidiary not organized under the laws of
the United States or any State thereof, any Lender may, with notice to the Administrative Agent and the Company, fulfill its Commitment by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to act as the Lender in respect of such
Approved Borrower (and such Lender shall, to the extent of Loans made to such Approved Borrower, be deemed for all purposes hereof to have pro tanto assigned such Loans to such Affiliate in compliance with the provisions of
Section 9.04), provided that, such Affiliate is not entitled at the time of designation to any greater payment under Section 2.16 than such Lender. So long as all principal and interest on all Loans of any Approved Borrower and all
other amounts payable by such Approved Borrower hereunder have been paid in full, the Company may terminate its status as an Approved Borrower hereunder by furnishing to the Administrative Agent a letter (a “Termination Letter”),
substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2, duly completed and executed by the Company and such Approved Borrower. Any Termination Letter furnished in accordance with this Section 2.01(b) shall be
effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of a Termination Letter with respect to any Approved Borrower shall not affect any obligation of such Approved Borrower theretofore incurred. As used
herein, “Applicable Lenders” means (i) in the case of Syndicated Borrowings to be made to any proposed Subsidiary, all of the Lenders and (ii) in the case of Competitive Loans to any proposed Subsidiary, any Lender willing to
make such Competitive Loans (it being understood that the approval by such Lender of such proposed Subsidiary as an Approved Borrower does not constitute a commitment by such Lender to make Competitive Loans to such Approved Borrower). 

SECTION 2.02 Loans and Borrowings. 

(a) Obligations of Lenders. Each Syndicated Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Type made by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. Each Competitive Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not
relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments and Competitive Bids of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make Loans as required. 

(b) Type of Loans. Subject to Section 2.12, (i) each Syndicated Borrowing shall be constituted entirely of ABR Loans or of
Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars as the respective Borrower may request in accordance herewith, and (ii) each Competitive Borrowing shall be constituted entirely of Eurocurrency Loans or Fixed Rate Loans denominated in a single
Currency as the respective Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each ABR Loan shall be denominated in Dollars. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such
Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(c) Minimum Amounts; Limitation on Number of Borrowings. At the commencement of the Interest Period for any Syndicated Borrowing, such
Syndicated Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $15,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000; provided that an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments. Each
Competitive Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount equal to $15,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 (or, in either case, the Dollar Equivalent thereof). Borrowings of more than one Class, Currency and Type may be outstanding at the same
time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of fifteen Syndicated Eurocurrency Borrowings outstanding. 

  
 32 













 (d) Limitations on Lengths of Interest Periods. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be entitled to request, or to elect to convert to or continue as a Syndicated Eurocurrency Borrowing, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested therefor would end after the Maturity Date. 

SECTION 2.03 Requests for Syndicated Borrowings. To request a Syndicated Borrowing, a Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of
such request by irrevocable written notice (via a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Company (on its own behalf or, as applicable, on behalf of an Approved Borrower)) (a) in the case of a
Syndicated Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date
of the proposed Borrowing. Each such Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 

(i) the Borrower and the aggregate principal amount of the requested Borrowing; 

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

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

(iv) in the case of a Syndicated Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor, which shall be a period contemplated by
the definition of the term “Interest Period” and permitted under Section 2.02(d); and 
 (v) the location and
number of the account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.05. 
 If no election as to the Type of
Syndicated Borrowing is specified, then the requested Syndicated Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Syndicated Eurocurrency Borrowing the requested Borrowing shall be made instead as
an ABR Borrowing. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part
of the requested Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.04 Competitive Bid Procedure. 

(a) Requests for Bids by the Borrowers. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from time to time during the Availability
Period a Borrower may request Competitive Bids and may (but shall not have any obligation to) accept Competitive Bids and borrow Competitive Loans denominated in Dollars or in any Foreign Currency; provided that the sum of the total Revolving
Credit Exposures plus the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Competitive Loans at any time shall not exceed the total Commitments. To request Competitive Bids, a Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request, in the
case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, four Business Days (or, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency, 11:00 a.m., London time, five Business Days) before the date of the
proposed Borrowing and, in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time (or, in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency, 10:00 a.m., London time) two Business Days, before the date of
the proposed Borrowing; provided that the Borrowers may in the aggregate submit up to (but not 

  
 33 













 
more than) three Competitive Bid Requests on the same day, and a Competitive Bid Request shall not be made within five Business Days after the date of any previous Competitive Bid Request, unless
any and all such previous Competitive Bid Requests shall have been withdrawn or all Competitive Bids received in response thereto rejected. Each such Competitive Bid Request shall be made by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a
written Competitive Bid Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Company (on behalf of itself or, as applicable, an Approved Borrower). Each such Competitive Bid Request shall specify the following information in
compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the Borrower and the aggregate amount and Currency of the requested Borrowing; 

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

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a Fixed Rate Borrowing; 

(iv) the Interest Period for such Borrowing, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest
Period”; 
 (v) maturity dates for such Borrowing (being limited to no more than three alternative maturity dates for
such Borrowing); and

 (b)
Making of Bids by Lenders. Each Lender may (but shall not have any obligation to) make one or more Competitive Bids in response to a Competitive Bid Request. Each Competitive Bid by a Lender must be in a form approved by the Administrative
Agent and must be received by the Administrative Agent by telecopy, in the case of a Competitive Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days (or, in the case of a Competitive Eurocurrency Borrowing

Fixed Rate Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency, 9:30 a.m., London time), on the proposed date of such Competitive Borrowing. Competitive Bids that do not conform substantially to the form approved by the Administrative Agent may be rejected
by the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Lender of such rejection as promptly as practicable. Each Competitive Bid shall specify (i) the principal amount (which shall be $15,000,000 or a larger
multiple of $1,000,000 (or, in either case, the Dollar Equivalent thereof) and which may equal the entire principal amount of the Competitive Borrowing requested by the respective Borrower) of the Competitive Loan or Loans that such Lender is
willing to make, (ii) the Competitive Bid Rate or Competitive Bid Rates at which such Lender is prepared to make such Loan or Loans (expressed as a percentage rate per annum in the form of a decimal to no more than four decimal places) and
(iii) the Interest Period for each such Loan and the last day thereof. 
 (c) Notification of Bids by Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the respective Borrower by telecopy of the Competitive Bid Rate and the principal amount specified in each Competitive Bid and the identity of the Lender that shall have made such Competitive Bid.

paragraph, a Borrower may accept or reject any Competitive Bid. Such Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing in a form approved by the Administrative Agent, whether and to what extent such Borrower has decided to accept or reject
each Competitive Bid, in the case of a Competitive Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days (or, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency, 2:00 p.m., London time,
four Business Days) before the date of the proposed Competitive Borrowing, and in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time (or, in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency, 10:30
a.m., London time), on the proposed date of the Competitive Borrowing; provided, that (i) the failure of such Borrower to give such notice shall be deemed to be a rejection of each Competitive Bid, (ii) such Borrower shall not
accept a Competitive Bid made at a particular Competitive Bid Rate if such Borrower rejects a Competitive Bid made at a lower Competitive Bid Rate, (iii) the aggregate amount of the Competitive Bids accepted by such Borrower shall not exceed
the aggregate amount of the requested Competitive Borrowing specified in the related Competitive Bid Request, (iv) to the extent necessary to comply with clause (iii) of this proviso, such Borrower may accept Competitive Bids at the same
Competitive Bid Rate in part, which acceptance, in the case of multiple Competitive Bids at such Competitive Bid Rate, shall be made pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such Competitive Bid, and (v) except pursuant to clause
(iv) of this proviso, no Competitive Bid shall be accepted for a Competitive Loan unless such Competitive Loan is in a principal amount of $15,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 (or, in either case, the U.S. Dollar Equivalent
thereof); provided further that if a Competitive Loan must be in an amount less than $15,000,000 because of the provisions of clause (iv) of the first proviso of this paragraph, such Competitive Loan may be in an amount of $1,000,000 or
any multiple thereof, and in calculating the pro rata allocation of acceptances of portions of multiple Competitive Bids at a particular Competitive Bid Rate pursuant to such clause (iv) the amounts shall be rounded to multiples of $1,000,000
in a manner determined by the Company. A notice given by any Borrower pursuant to this paragraph shall be irrevocable. 
 (e) Notification
of Acceptances by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each bidding Lender by telecopy whether or not its Competitive Bid has been accepted (and, if so, the amount and Competitive Bid Rate so accepted), and
each successful bidder will thereupon become bound, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to make the Competitive Loan in respect of which its Competitive Bid has been accepted. 

(f) Bids by the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent shall elect to submit a Competitive Bid in its capacity as a Lender,
it shall submit such Competitive Bid directly to the respective Borrower at least one quarter of an hour earlier than the time by which the other Lenders are required to submit their Competitive Bids to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph
(b) of this Section 2.04. 
 (g) Continuing Obligations of Lenders. The extension of any Competitive Loan by any Lender
shall not constitute utilization of such Lender’s Commitment hereunder, and such Lender shall remain obligated (as provided in Section 2.17(c)) to make Loans in an amount equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate Commitments under this
Agreement, provided that in no event shall the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures plus the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Competitive Loans at any time exceed the total Commitments. 

SECTION 2.05 Funding of Borrowings. 

(a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of
immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the respective
Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or Competitive Bid Request. 

  
 35 













 (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 2.05 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the respective Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in
fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and such 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 such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of such 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. 
 SECTION 2.06 Interest Elections. 

(a) Elections by Borrowers for Syndicated Borrowings. Each Syndicated Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the
applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Syndicated Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have the Interest Period specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, a 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 a Syndicated Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect the Interest Period therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.06. A 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 2.06 shall not apply to Competitive Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued. 
 (b)
Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.06, a Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Company were
requesting a Syndicated Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be made by hand delivery or telecopy to the
Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Company (on behalf of itself or, as applicable, on behalf of an Approved Borrower). Notwithstanding any contrary provision
herein, this Section 2.06 shall not be construed to permit the Borrower to elect an Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d). 

(c) Information in Interest Election Requests. Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with
Section 2.02: 
 (i) the Borrower and 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); 

  
 36 













 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest
Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a
Eurocurrency Borrowing; and 
 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor
after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” and permitted under Section 2.02(d). 

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the respective Borrower shall be deemed
to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
 (d) Notice by the Administrative Agent to 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 a Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Syndicated
Eurocurrency 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 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 Borrowers, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (A) no outstanding
Syndicated Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Syndicated Eurocurrency Borrowing and (B) unless repaid, each Syndicated Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period therefor. 

SECTION 2.07 Changes of Commitments. 

(a) Scheduled Termination. Unless previously terminated the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall terminate on the Commitment
Termination Date. 
 (b) Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Company 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 $15,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 and (ii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect
to any concurrent prepayment of the Syndicated Loans in accordance with Section 2.09, (A) any Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed its Commitment or (B) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures plus the aggregate
principal amount of outstanding Competitive Loans would exceed the total Commitments. 
 (c) Notice of Voluntary Termination or
Reduction. The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section 2.07 at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination
or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this
Section 2.07(c) shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other transactions
specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. 

  
 37 













 (d) Effect of Termination or Reduction. Any termination or reduction of the
Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. 

SECTION 2.08 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. 

(a) Repayment. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay the Loans as follows: 

(i) to the Administrative Agent for account of the Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Syndicated Loans made to
such Borrower on the Maturity Date, and 
 (ii) to the Administrative Agent for account of the respective Lender the then
unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Loan of such Lender made to such Borrower on the last day of the Interest Period therefor. 
 (b)
Manner of Payment. Prior to any repayment or prepayment of any Borrowings hereunder, the respective Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be paid and shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing 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 a
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 of such Borrower and, second, to other Borrowings of such Borrower in the
order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first), and for these purposes, Competitive Loans shall be deemed to be in the same Class as Syndicated
Loans. Each payment of a Syndicated Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such Borrowing. 
 (c) Maintenance of Loan
Accounts by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts and
Currency of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 
 (d) Maintenance of Loan Accounts by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount and Currency of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and each Interest Period therefor, (ii) the amount
and Currency of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount and Currency 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 accounts maintained pursuant to
paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section 2.08 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 accounts
or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of a 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 to a Borrower be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, such
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. 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 registered payee named therein and
its registered assigns). 

  
 38 













 SECTION 2.09 Prepayment of Loans. 

(a) Optional Prepayments. Each Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing made to it in
whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except for breakage costs as set forth in Section 2.14), subject to the requirements of this Section 2.09; provided that no Borrower shall have the right to prepay any Competitive Loan
without the prior consent of the Lender thereof unless otherwise specified in the Borrower’s request for a Competitive Bid. 
 (b)
Mandatory Prepayments. 
 (i) Determination of Amount Outstanding. On each Quarterly Date and promptly upon the
receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Currency Valuation Notice (as defined below), the Administrative Agent shall determine the sum of the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Competitive
Loans. For the purpose of this determination, the outstanding principal amount of any Loan that is denominated in any Foreign Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the amount in the Foreign Currency of such Loan, determined as of
such Quarterly Date or, in the case of a Currency Valuation Notice received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, on such Business Day or, in the case of a Currency Valuation Notice otherwise
received, on the first Business Day after such Currency Valuation Notice is received. Upon making such determination, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Company thereof. 

(ii) Prepayment. If, on the date of such determination such sum exceeds 105% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments
as then in effect, the Borrowers shall, if requested by the Required Lenders (through the Administrative Agent), prepay the Syndicated Loans and Competitive Loans in such amounts as shall be necessary so that after giving effect thereto the sum of
the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Competitive Loans does not exceed the Commitments. 
 For
purposes hereof, “Currency Valuation Notice” means a notice given by the Required Lenders to the Administrative Agent stating that such notice is a “Currency Valuation Notice” and requesting that the Administrative Agent
determine the sum of the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Competitive Loans. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to make more than one valuation determination pursuant to
Currency Valuation Notices within any rolling three month period. Any prepayment pursuant to this paragraph shall be applied, first, to Syndicated Loans outstanding and second, to Competitive Loans outstanding. 

(c) Notices, Etc. Each Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any optional prepayment to be made by it hereunder
(i) in the case of prepayment of a Syndicated Eurocurrency Borrowing or of a Competitive Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time (or, in the case of a Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency, 11:00 a.m., London time), two
Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment
date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in
connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.07, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.07. Promptly
following receipt of any such 

  
 39 













 
notice relating to a Syndicated Borrowing or Competitive Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the relevant 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, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Syndicated Borrowing
shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.11 and shall be made in the manner specified in Section 2.08(b). 

SECTION 2.10 Fees. 
 (a)
Facility Fee. The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Lender a facility fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily amount of the Commitment of such Lender (whether used or unused) during the
period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the earlier of the date such Commitment terminates and the Commitment Termination Date; provided that, if such Lender continues to have any Revolving Credit Exposure after its
Commitment terminates, then such facility fee shall continue to accrue 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 fifteenth (15th) day following each Quarterly Date and on the earlier of the date the Commitments
terminate and the Commitment Termination Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof; provided that any facility fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate 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) Administrative Agent Fees. The Company 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 Company and the Administrative Agent. 
 (c) Payment of Fees. All fees payable
hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars and immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of facility fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any
circumstances. 
 SECTION 2.11 Interest. 

(a) ABR Loans. The Loans constituting each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus
the Applicable Rate. 
 (b) Eurocurrency Loans. The Loans constituting each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per
annum equal to (i) in the case of a Syndicated Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for the Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate or (ii) in the case of a Competitive Eurocurrency Borrowing,
the Eurocurrency Rate for the Interest Period for such Borrowing plus (or minus, as applicable) the Margin applicable to such Loan. 

(c) Fixed Rate Loans. Each Fixed Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Fixed Rate. 

(d) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by a
Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the
case of overdue principal, interest or premium (if any) on any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided above or (ii) in the case of any other overdue amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as
provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.11. 

  
 40 













 (e) 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 Syndicated Loans, upon the termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 2.11 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 Syndicated Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Borrowing shall be payable on the
effective date of such conversion. 
 (f) Computation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days,
except that (i) interest in respect of Eurocurrency Borrowings denominated in English Pounds Sterling shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days and (ii) interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the
Alternate Base Rate is based on the prime rate of the Administrative Agent shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year); interest shall in each case be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the
first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or Eurocurrency Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

SECTION 2.12 Alternate Rate of Interest. 

(a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 2.12, if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for
a Eurocurrency Borrowing: 
 (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding
absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, the Eurocurrency Rate, the LIBOR Rate, the Eur-IBOR Rate or the Local Rate, as applicable
(including because the Relevant Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for the applicable Currency and such Interest Period prior to the occurrence of a Benchmark Replacement Date in respect of such rate; or 

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

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable
thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Syndicated Borrowing
to, or the continuation of any Syndicated Borrowing as, a Syndicated Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective, (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a Syndicated Eurocurrency Borrowing in Dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as an
ABR Borrowing, (C) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in a Foreign Currency, then such request shall be ineffective and (D) any request by a Borrower for a Competitive Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be
ineffective; provided that (x) if the circumstances giving rise to such 

  
 41 













 
notice do not affect all the Lenders, then requests by a Borrower for Competitive Eurocurrency Borrowings may be made to Lenders that are not affected thereby, and (y) if the circumstances
giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted. Furthermore, if any Eurocurrency Loan in any Currency is outstanding on the date of the Borrowers’ receipt of the notice from
the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.12(a) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan, then (i) if such Eurocurrency Loan is denominated in Dollars, then on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Loan shall be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars on such day or (ii) if such
Eurocurrency Loan is denominated in any Currency (other than Dollars), then such Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), at the relevant
Borrower’s election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid by the relevant Borrower on such day or (B) be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and (subject to the remainder of this subclause (B)) shall constitute, an ABR Loan
denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Currency) on such day (it being understood and agreed that if the relevant Borrower does not so prepay such Loan on such day by 12:00 noon, Local Time, the Administrative
Agent is authorized to effect such conversion of such Eurocurrency Loan into an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars), and, in the case of such subclause (B), upon the Borrowers’ receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that the circumstances
giving rise to the aforementioned notice no longer exist, such ABR Loan denominated in Dollars shall then be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in such original Currency (in an amount
equal to the Foreign Currency Equivalent of such Currency) on the day of such notice being given to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then
(x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all
purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and
(y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes
hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark
Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of
objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein
or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, solely with respect to a Loan denominated in Dollars, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference
Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent
Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, this clause (c) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has
delivered to the Lenders and the Borrowers a Term SOFR Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after the occurrence of a Term SOFR Transition Event and may do so in its sole
discretion. 

  
 42 













 (d) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative
Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming
Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 (e)
The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as
applicable, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below
and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this
Section 2.12, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from
taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as
expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.12. 
 (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document,
at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or the LIBOR Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a
screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public
statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or
after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or
information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the
Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor. 

(g) Upon the Borrowers’ receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the relevant Borrower may revoke any
request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, either (x) the relevant Borrower will be deemed to
have converted any request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans or (y) any Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be ineffective. During any
Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any
determination of ABR. Furthermore, if any Eurocurrency Loan in any Currency is outstanding on the date of the Borrowers’ receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to
such Eurocurrency Loan, then (i) if such Eurocurrency Loan is denominated in Dollars, then on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Loan shall
be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars on such day or (ii) if such Eurocurrency Loan is denominated in any Currency (other than Dollars), then such Loan shall, on the last day of
the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), at 

  
 43 













 
the relevant Borrower’s election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid by the relevant Borrower on such day or (B) be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and (subject to the
remainder of this subclause (B)) shall constitute, an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Currency) on such day (it being understood and agreed that if the relevant Borrower does not so prepay such
Loan on such day by 12:00 noon, Local Time, the Administrative Agent is authorized to effect such conversion of such Eurocurrency Loan into an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars), and, in the case of such subclause (B), upon any subsequent
implementation of a Benchmark Replacement in respect of such Currency pursuant to this Section 2.12, such ABR Loan denominated in Dollars shall then be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Eurocurrency Loan
denominated in such original Currency (in an amount equal to the Foreign Currency Equivalent of such Currency) on the day of such implementation, giving effect to such Benchmark Replacement in respect of such Currency. 

SECTION 2.13 Increased Costs. 

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory
loan requirement or insurance charge) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate); or 

(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition (other than Indemnified Taxes or Excluded Taxes)
affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans or Fixed Rate Loans made by such Lender; or 
 (iii) subject the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other recipient of any payments hereunder to any Taxes on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable
thereto (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes and (C) Other Taxes); 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to
increase the cost to such Person of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any Loan to any Borrower (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Person
hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the respective Borrower will pay to such Person, in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Person for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender
or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then
from time to time the Company will pay to such Lender, in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

(c) Certificates from Lenders. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts, in Dollars, necessary to compensate such
Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.13, and setting forth in reasonable detail calculations of such amount or amounts, shall be delivered to the Company and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The respective Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 

  
 44 













 (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 for
any increased costs or reductions incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation
therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 (e) Competitive Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.13, a
Lender shall not be entitled to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13 in respect of any Competitive Loan if the Change in Law that would otherwise entitle it to such compensation shall have been publicly announced prior to submission of
the Competitive Bid pursuant to which such Loan was made. 
 SECTION 2.14 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the
payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan or Fixed Rate Loan of any Borrower 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 Syndicated Eurocurrency Loan of
any Borrower other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Syndicated Loan of any Borrower on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of
whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.09(c) and is revoked in accordance herewith), (d) the failure by any Borrower to borrow any Competitive Loan after accepting the Competitive Bid to make such Loan or (e) the
assignment of any Syndicated Eurocurrency Loan or Fixed Rate Loan of any Borrower other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, such Borrower
shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. 
 In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, 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 denominated in the Currency of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or
continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for such Currency (in the case of a
Syndicated Eurocurrency Loan) or the Eurocurrency Rate for such Currency (in the case of a Competitive Eurocurrency Loan) for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for
such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for deposits denominated in such Currency from other banks in the eurocurrency
market at the commencement of such period. No Borrower shall be responsible for losses described in this Section 2.14 arising more than six (6) months prior to its receipt of notice of such determination by the respective Lender requesting
compensation for such loss. Such notice, to be effective, shall be accompanied by a calculation of such losses in reasonable detail. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to
this Section 2.14 shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The respective Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 

  
 45 













 SECTION 2.15 U.S. Taxes. 

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder shall be made free and
clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law; provided that if any Borrower or other applicable withholding agent shall be required to deduct any Tax, then (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or
Other Tax, the sum payable by such Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions have been made (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) the Administrative Agent or
Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower or other applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower or other
applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. In addition (but without duplication), each Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify
the Administrative Agent and each Lender (without duplication), within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent
on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as
practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority, such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental
Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(e) Foreign Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is and remains entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law
of the United States of America, or any treaty to which the United States of America is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement by any Borrower shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or
times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments by such Borrower to be made without withholding or at a reduced
rate. 
 (f) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the
case of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so)
attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement (including any Excluded Taxes and Taxes arising as a result of the Lender’s failure to maintain a Participant Register) 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. The indemnity under this Section 2.15(f) shall be paid within 10 days
after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.


  
 46 













 SECTION 2.16 Foreign Taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a conflict
between Section 2.15 and Section 2.16, the provisions of this Section 2.16 shall govern with respect to any Foreign Taxes. 

(a) Payments to be Made Free and Clear of Foreign Taxes. All payments on account of the principal of and interest on the Loans, fees and
all other amounts payable hereunder by any Approved Borrower organized under a Foreign Jurisdiction to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including amounts payable under paragraph (c) of this Section 2.16, shall
be made free and clear of and without reduction or liability for Foreign Taxes, except as required by applicable law. Such Approved Borrower will pay all Foreign Taxes applicable to any amounts payable by such Approved Borrower, without charge to or
offset against any amount due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto, except for any such Foreign Taxes (other than Foreign Taxes imposed on or in respect of any amount payable by such Approved
Borrower hereunder) the payment of which is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings and against which adequate reserves are being maintained, so long as no claim for such Foreign Taxes is or could reasonably be expected to be made on
the Administrative Agent or any Lender. 
 (b) Indemnification by Approved Borrowers. Each Approved Borrower organized under a Foreign
Jurisdiction shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender against, and reimburse the Administrative Agent and each Lender on demand for, any Foreign Taxes applicable to any amounts payable by such Approved Borrower and any loss,
liability, claim or expense, including interest, penalties and legal fees, that the Administrative Agent or such Lender may incur at any time arising out of or in connection with any failure of such Approved Borrower to make any payment of Foreign
Taxes when due. 
 (c) Gross-Up for Foreign Taxes. In the event that any Approved Borrower
organized under a Foreign Jurisdiction is required by applicable law, decree or regulation to deduct or withhold Foreign Taxes from any amounts payable on, under or in respect of this Agreement or the Loans made to it, such Approved Borrower shall
(to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) promptly pay the Person entitled to such amount such additional amounts as may be required, after the deduction or withholding of Foreign Taxes, to enable such Person to receive from such Approved
Borrower on the due date thereof, an amount equal to the full amount stated to be payable to such Person under this Agreement. Each Lender shall provide to such Approved Borrower such forms or certificates as such Approved Borrower may reasonably
request to establish such Lender’s entitlement to an exemption from or reduction of Foreign Taxes, but no Lender shall be required to provide any form or certificate if it determines in its discretion that the provision of such form or
certificate could adversely affect it or it is not legally entitled to provide such form or certificate. 
 (d) Evidence of Payment of
Foreign Taxes. Each Approved Borrower organized under a Foreign Jurisdiction shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, upon the request of any Lender (through the Administrative Agent), together with sufficient certified copies for distribution
to each Lender requesting the same (identifying the Lenders that have so requested), original official tax receipts (or certified copies thereof) in respect of each payment of Foreign Taxes required under this Section 2.16 made by such Approved
Borrower or such other information, documents and receipts that the Administrative Agent or such Lender may reasonably require to establish to its satisfaction that full and timely payment has been made of all Foreign Taxes required to be paid under
this Section 2.16 within 30 days after the date such payment is made. 

  
 47 













 SECTION 2.17 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. 

(a) Payments by the Borrowers. Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest
or fees, or under Section 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff, counterclaim or other deduction. 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 at the
Administrative Agent’s Account, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 2.18(b) and 9.03 shall be made directly to the 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 following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day
and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder (including facility fees, payments required under Section 2.13, and payments required under
Section 2.14 relating to any Loan denominated in Dollars, but not including principal of, and interest on, any Loan denominated in any Foreign Currency or payments relating to any such Loan required under Section 2.14, which are payable in
such Foreign Currency) shall be made in Dollars. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Borrower shall fail to pay any principal of any Loan when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise), the unpaid
portion of such Loan shall, if such Loan is not denominated in Dollars, automatically be redenominated in Dollars on the due date thereof (or, if such due date is a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, on the last day of such
Interest Period) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof on the date of such redenomination and such principal shall be payable on demand; and if any Borrower shall fail to pay any interest on any Loan that is not denominated in Dollars,
such interest shall automatically be redenominated in Dollars on the due date therefor (or, if such due date is a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, on the last day of such Interest Period) in an amount equal to the Dollar
Equivalent thereof on the date of such redenomination and such interest shall be payable on demand. 
 (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, 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 then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto
in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. 
 (c) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise
provided herein: (i) each Syndicated Borrowing shall be made from the Lenders, each payment of a facility fee under Section 2.10 shall be made for account of the Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments
under Section 2.07 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (or, in the case of payment of facility fees, pro rata according to the amounts of their
respective Revolving Credit Exposures); (ii) each Syndicated Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (in the case of the making of Syndicated Loans) or their respective Loans
(in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Syndicated Loans by any Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts
of the Syndicated Loans of such Borrower held by them; and (iv) each payment of interest on Syndicated Loans by any Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans of such
Borrower then due and payable to the respective Lenders. 
 (d) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any
right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Syndicated Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Syndicated Loans
and accrued interest thereon then due than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in 

  
 48 













 
the Syndicated 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 Syndicated 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 a 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 to any assignee or Participant, other than to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which
the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may
exercise against such Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

(e) Presumptions of Payment. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any
payment is due to the Administrative Agent for account of the Lenders hereunder that the respective Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith
and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand the amount so distributed to such Lender 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 NYFRB Rate. 

(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 2.05(b) or 2.17(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for account of such Lender to satisfy such
Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account over which the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control as cash collateral
for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under such Sections, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion. 

SECTION 2.18 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if any Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.16, 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 2.13, 2.15 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Borrower hereby agrees to
pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) Replacement of
Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13 or 2.14, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 or
2.16, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Company 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 

  
 49 













 
restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payment pursuant to Sections 2.13 or 2.14) and obligations under this Agreement (other
than any outstanding Competitive Loans held by it) to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (w) the Company shall have received the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (x) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans (other than Competitive Loans), accrued
interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (including any amounts payable under Section 2.14 as a result of such assignment), from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest
and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts), (y) if the Lender being replaced does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect
such replacement by the later of (aa) the date on which the assignee Lender executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation and (bb) the time such Lender receives payment under clause (x) above, then the
Lender being replaced shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Company shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and
Assumption and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Lender (provided that the Company shall make no representation or warranty on behalf of such Lender in such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation) and (z) in the
case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender
shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party
hereto agrees that (i) an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement
incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants), and (ii) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a
party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to and be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment
agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender, provided that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto. 

SECTION 2.19 Expansion Option. The Company may from time to time elect to increase the Commitments in minimum increments of
$100,000,000 so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of such increases does not exceed $500,000,000. The Company may arrange for any such increase to be provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in
its Commitment, an “Increasing Lender”), or by one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an “Augmenting Lender”), to increase their
existing Commitments or extend Commitments, as the case may be; provided that (i) each Augmenting Lender, shall be subject to the approval of the Company and the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) and
(ii) (x) in the case of an Increasing Lender, the Company and such Increasing Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto (with such changes as are reasonably agreed to by the Company, the Administrative
Agent and the Increasing Lender), and (y) in the case of an Augmenting Lender, the Company and such Augmenting Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto (with such changes as are reasonably agreed to by
the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Augmenting Lender). No consent of any Lender (other than the Lenders participating in the increase) shall be required for any increase in Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.19. Increases and new
Commitments created pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall become effective on the date agreed by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Increasing Lenders 

  
 50 













 
or Augmenting Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Commitments (or in the Commitment of any Lender) shall
become effective under this paragraph unless, (i) on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such increase, (A) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 5.03 shall be satisfied or waived by the Required
Lenders and (B) the Company shall be in compliance (on a pro forma basis) with the covenants contained in Sections 6.08 and 6.09 and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents and opinions of counsel consistent with those
delivered on the Effective Date as to the corporate power and authority of the Borrowers to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase. On the effective date of any increase in the Commitments, (i) each Augmenting Lender, if any,
shall become a Lender, (ii) each relevant Increasing Lender and Augmenting Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the
other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Syndicated Loans of all the Lenders to equal
its Applicable Percentage of such outstanding Syndicated Loans, and (iii) the Borrowers shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Syndicated Loans as of the date of any increase in the Commitments (with such reborrowing to
consist of the Types of Syndicated Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the applicable Borrower, or the Company on behalf of the applicable Borrower, in accordance with the requirements of
Section 2.03). The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each Eurocurrency Loan, shall be
subject to indemnification by the Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.14 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods. 

SECTION 2.20 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 2.17(c) or 2.17(d)) 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) fees shall cease to accrue on the daily amount of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a); 

(b) the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be
deemed to be a Lender, in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that (i) any waiver,
amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently in an adverse manner than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender and
(ii) any amendment or modification that increases, or extends the maturity of, such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment, or reduces the principal amount of, or rate of interest on, any Loans made by such Defaulting Lender, shall require the
consent of such Defaulting Lender; and 
 (c) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal,
interest or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 but excluding Section 2.18(b)) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by
the Administrative Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent in the following order of priority: (a) first, to the payment
of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; (b) second, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as
determined by the Administrative Agent; (c) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any Loans required to
be funded by such Lender under this Agreement; (d) fourth, to the payment of any 

  
 51 













 
amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting
Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and (e) fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that, with respect to this clause (e), if such payment is
(x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans which such Defaulting Lender has funded and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.03 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the
Applicable Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of Loans of each non-Defaulting Lender prior to being applied to the prepayment of the Loans of such Defaulting Lender. 

In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Company agree in writing in their discretion that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters
that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order
for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and any amounts held in the segregated account referenced above shall be distributed to such Lender, provided
that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder in the status of Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a
Defaulting Lender. 
 SECTION 2.21 Extension of Commitment Termination Date. 

(a) Requests for Extension. The Company may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (the “Extension Notice”) (who shall
promptly notify the Lenders) at any time and from time to time request that each Lender extend such Lender’s then existing Commitment Termination Date (the “Existing Commitment Termination Date”) to the date that is one year
after the Commitment Termination Date then in effect for such Lender (the “Extended Commitment Termination Date”). The Extension Notice shall set forth the proposed terms (the “Extension Terms”) for the Loans
requested to be extended (the “Extended Loans”), including (i) the final maturity date thereof (which shall not exceed the Extended Commitment Termination Date), (ii) the interest rate margins with respect to such Extended
Loans (which may be higher or lower than the interest rate margins for the then outstanding Loans), and/or (iii) any additional fees payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Loans in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins
contemplated by the preceding clause (ii). 
 (b) Lender Elections to Extend. Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual
discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not later than the date that is 15 days after the date on which the Administrative Agent received the Company’s extension request (the “Lender Notice Date”), advise
the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension (each Lender that determines to so extend its Commitment Termination Date and agrees with the other Extension Terms, an “Extending Lender”). Each Lender
that determines not to so extend its Commitment Termination Date or that does not agree with the other Extension Terms (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such
fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Lender Notice Date), and any Lender that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Lender Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree, and it is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to
agree to any request made by the Company for extension of the Commitment Termination Date. 
 (c) Notification by Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company of each Lender’s determination under this Section 2.21. 

  
 52 













 (d) Additional Commitment Lenders. The Company shall have the right, but shall not be
obligated, on or before the applicable Existing Commitment Termination Date for any Non-Extending Lender to replace such Non-Extending Lender by causing such Non-Extending Lender to (and such Non-Extending Lender shall be obligated to assign pursuant to Section 9.04) assign all of its rights and obligations pursuant to this
Agreement to one or more assignees that agree to such Extension Terms and are not Ineligible Institutions, which shall be added as “Lenders” hereunder (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”). In connection with the
replacement of any Non-Extending Lender, the applicable Additional Commitment Lender shall enter into an Assignment and Assumption in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in
Section 9.04 (with the Company or such Additional Commitment Lender obligated to pay any applicable processing or recordation fee) with such Non-Extending Lender, pursuant to which (i) all the
outstanding principal amount of the Loans so assigned of such Non-Extending Lender, together with accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder shall be paid in full by
the Additional Commitment Lender to such Non-Extending Lender and (ii) such Additional Commitment Lender shall assume all or part of the Commitment of such
Non-Extending Lender (and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its Commitment so assumed shall be in addition to such Lender’s Commitment hereunder on such date); provided
that if the Non-Extending Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement by the
later of (A) the date on which the Additional Commitment Lender executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation and (B) the date as of which all the outstanding principal amount of the Loans so
assigned of such Non-Extending Lender, together with accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to such Non-Extending Lender hereunder shall be
paid in full by the Additional Commitment Lender to such Non-Extending Lender, then the Non-Extending Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such
Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Company shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Non-Extending Lender (provided that the Company shall make no representation or warranty on behalf of such Non-Extending Lender in such Assignment and Assumption and/or such
other documentation). The Administrative Agent may effect such amendments to this Agreement as are reasonably necessary to provide for any such extensions contemplated by this Section 2.21 (including the implementation of the Extension Terms)
with the consent of the Company but without the consent of any Non-Extending Lender. 
 (e)
Effective Date of Extension. The Commitment Termination Date of each Extending Lender and of each Additional Commitment Lender shall be extended to the date that is one year after the Existing Commitment Termination Date (except that, if such
date is not a Business Day, such Commitment Termination Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Business Day) and each Additional Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be
bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Lender hereunder and shall have the obligations of a Lender hereunder, effective on the date notified by the Company to the Administrative Agent so long as the following conditions precedent shall be
satisfied or waived on such date (the “Extension Date”): 
 (i) no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing on such Extension Date and immediately after giving effect thereto; 
 (ii) the representations and warranties of
the Company in Part A of Article III of the Agreement (and the representations and warranties of each Approved Borrower, if any, then party to this Agreement in Part B of Article III of the Agreement are true and correct in all
material respects or in all respects if the applicable representation or warranty is qualified by material adverse effect or other materiality qualifiers on and as of such Extension Date and after giving effect thereto, except in the case of any
such representation or warranty that expressly relates to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty is true and correct in all material respects or in all respects if the applicable representation or warranty is qualified by
material adverse effect or other materiality qualifiers on and as of such earlier date; 

  
 53 













 (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received (A) a certificate
from the Company signed by a senior financial officer of the Company certifying the accuracy of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) and (B) secretary certificates of the Company and of each other Borrower certifying and attaching the
authorizations of the Company or such Borrower, as applicable, approving or consenting to such extension; and 
 (iv) the
aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed to extend their Commitment Termination Date and the new or increased Commitments of any Additional Commitment Lenders shall be more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the
Commitments in effect immediately prior to such Extension Date. 
 Extension Terms (other than the extension of the Commitment Termination
Date) shall become applicable to the Extended Loans on the Existing Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing no more than one (1) extension of the Commitment Termination Date shall be permitted hereunder. 

(f) Commitment Termination Date for Non-Extending Lenders. On the Commitment Termination Date of
each Non-Extending Lender, (i) the Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender shall automatically terminate and (ii) the Company shall repay any outstanding Loans
of such Non-Extending Lender in accordance with Section 2.08 (and shall pay to such Non-Extending Lender all of the other obligations owing to it under this
Agreement). The Administrative Agent shall administer any necessary reallocation of the Revolving Credit Exposures (without regard to any minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and/or pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this
Agreement, and the Company hereby agrees to compensate each Lender for any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with the sale and assignment of any Eurocurrency Loans and the reallocation described in this clause
(f), in each case on the terms and in the manner set forth in Section 2.14). 
 (g) Conflicting Provisions. This
Section 2.21 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.17 or Section 9.02 to the contrary. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.21 (including, for the
avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Loans extended pursuant to this Section 2.21 and any prepayment or termination, as applicable, of the Loans or Commitments of any
Non-Extending Lender) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Section 2.17 and Section 9.02) that may otherwise prohibit any transaction contemplated by this
Section 2.21. 
 ARTICLE III 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

Representations and Warranties. Each of the Company and the Approved Borrowers, as applicable, represents and warrants to the Lenders
that: 
 Part A. Representations and Warranties of the Company. 

SECTION 3.01 Corporate Existence. Each of the Company and its Material Subsidiaries: (a) is a corporation duly organized and
validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation (or, in the case of a Material Subsidiary that is not a corporation, is a partnership or other entity duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
organization); (b) has all requisite legal power, and has all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals, necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted; and (c) is
qualified to do business in all jurisdictions in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary and where failure so to qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 54 













 SECTION 3.02 Financial Condition. The Company has heretofore furnished to the Lenders
(i) the consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2018, December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020 and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and changes
in common shareholders’ equity of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for the three fiscal years ended December 31, 2020, with the opinion thereon of Deloitte & Touche LLP and (ii) the unaudited consolidated balance
sheets and related statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021. Such financial statements fairly present, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as at said dates and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods presented, all in accordance with GAAP (except, in the
case of clause (ii), for normal year-end audit adjustments and/or absence of full footnote disclosures). Neither the Company nor any of its Material Subsidiaries had on said dates any material contingent
liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments, except as referred to or reflected or provided for in said balance sheets as at said dates. Since
December 31, 2020, there has been no event or condition that could result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.03
Litigation. The legal or arbitral proceedings, and proceedings by or before any Governmental Authority, now pending or (to the knowledge of the Company) threatened against the Company and/or any of its Material Subsidiaries will not, in the
opinion of the General Counsel of the Company, result in imposition of liability or assessment against (including seizure of) property that would result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

SECTION 3.04 No Breach. None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated
and compliance with the terms and provisions hereof will conflict with or result in a breach of, or require any consent under, the charter or by-laws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any
applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority, or any material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound or to which any
of them is subject, or constitute a default under any such agreement or instrument, other than immaterial conflicts under contractual obligations. 

SECTION 3.05 Corporate Action of the Obligors. The Obligors have all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and
perform their obligations under this Agreement; the execution, delivery and performance by the Obligors of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on their part; and this Agreement has been duly and validly
executed and delivered by the Obligors and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Obligors, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by equitable principles or by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally. 
 SECTION 3.06 Approvals. No
authorizations, approvals or consents of, and no filings or registrations with, any Governmental Authority are necessary for the execution, delivery or performance by the Obligors of this Agreement or for the validity or enforceability thereof. 

SECTION 3.07 Use of Loans. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important
activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying Margin Stock and no part of the proceeds of any Loan hereunder will be used to buy or carry, or to extend credit to
others to buy or carry, any Margin Stock. 

  
 55 













 SECTION 3.08 ERISA. (i) Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, the Company and the ERISA Affiliates have fulfilled their respective obligations under the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan and are in compliance in all material respects with
the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, and (ii) have not incurred any liability to the PBGC or any Plan or Multiemployer Plan (other than to make contributions or scheduled payments in the ordinary course of business) which, when
taken together with all other such liabilities incurred, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION
3.09 Taxes. The Company and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States Federal income tax returns and all other tax returns required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment
received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries except (i) for those being contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP or (ii) to the extent that such failure to file or pay such
taxes would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company and its Material Subsidiaries in respect of taxes and other governmental charges are, in the opinion of the
Company, adequate. If the Company is a member of an affiliated group of corporations filing consolidated returns for United States Federal income tax purposes, it is the “common parent” of such group. 

SECTION 3.10 Investment Company Act. None of the Obligors is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by
an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
 SECTION 3.11 Credit
Agreements. Schedule II is a complete and correct list, as of the date of this Agreement, of each credit agreement, loan agreement, indenture, purchase agreement, guarantee or other arrangement providing for or otherwise relating to any
Indebtedness or any extension of credit (or commitment for any extension of credit) to, or guarantee by, the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries the aggregate principal or face amount of which equals or exceeds (or may equal or exceed)
$150,000,000 and the aggregate principal or face amount outstanding or which may become outstanding under each such arrangement is correctly described in Schedule II. 

SECTION 3.12 Hazardous Materials and Environmental Matters. 

(a) Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect: 

(i) The Company and each of its Material Subsidiaries have obtained all permits, licenses and other authorizations
(“Permits”) required under all applicable Environmental Laws, for their respective operations, businesses and assets, and such Permits are in full force and effect and the Company and each of its Material Subsidiaries are in
compliance with the terms and conditions of all such Permits; 
 (ii) the Company and each of its Material Subsidiaries, and
their respective operations and assets, are in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; 
 (iii) neither the
Company nor any of its Material Subsidiaries has received any written notice of violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability under any Environmental Laws, nor does the Company
or any of its Material Subsidiaries have knowledge that any such notice will be received or is being threatened; 
 (iv) no
judicial proceeding or governmental or administrative action is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries, threatened, under any Environmental Law to which the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries is or
will be named as a party, nor are any of them subject to any consent decree, or consent order or other orders or judgments under any Environmental Law; 

  
 56 













 (v) there has been no Release or threat of Release of Hazardous Materials
at, on, under or from any properties or facilities currently, or to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries, formerly, owned or operated by any of them which would reasonably be expected to result in a violation of or
liability under any Environmental Laws on the part of any of them; and 
 (vi) neither the Company nor any of its Material
Subsidiaries has contractually assumed or undertaken responsibility for any liability or obligation of any Person arising under or relating to any Environmental Laws. 

(b) Compliance Review. In the ordinary course of its business, the Company conducts an ongoing review of the effect of Environmental
Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated liabilities and costs (including any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up or closure of properties presently or previously owned, any capital or operating expenditures required to achieve or maintain compliance with environmental protection standards imposed by law or as a
condition of any license, permit or contract, any related constraints on operating activities, including any periodic or permanent shutdown of any facility or reduction in the level of or change in the nature of operations conducted thereat, any
costs or liabilities in connection with off-site disposal of wastes or hazardous substances, and any actual or potential liabilities to third parties, including employees, and any related costs and expenses).
On the basis of this review, the Company has reasonably concluded that, except as expressly disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and the
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021, such associated liabilities and costs, including the costs of compliance with Environmental Laws, are unlikely to have a Material
Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.13 Full Disclosure. The Company has heretofore furnished to each of the Lenders a true copy of the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Annual Report”) and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021, as filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as disclosed in writing to the Lenders, the annual, quarterly and other
periodic reports referenced in this Section 3.13 or Section 3.02, in each case as of the respective date thereof, do not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading. As of the Effective Date, to the best knowledge of the Company, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification (if any) provided on
or prior to the Effective Date to any Lender in connection with this Agreement is true and correct in all respects. 
 SECTION 3.14
Anti-Terrorism Laws and Sanctions. To the extent applicable, the Company, each other Borrower and each Material Subsidiary is in compliance, in all material respects, with (i) the Patriot Act, (ii) the Trading with the Enemy Act, 50
U.S.C. App. 1 et seq., as amended, and (iii) any sanctions administered by (a) the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department or the U.S. Department of State, or (b) the United Nations Security Council, the
European Union, any European Union member state, Her Majesty’s Treasury of the United Kingdom or other relevant sanctions authority of the United States, the United Nations, the European Union or the United Kingdom, which administers legally
binding economic or trade sanctions (“Sanctions”). Neither the Company, any other Borrower or any Material Subsidiary nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any director, officer or employee of the Company, any other Borrower or any
Material Subsidiary, is the target of any Sanctions. No proceeds of the Loans will be used by the Company, any other Borrower or any Material Subsidiary, directly or to its knowledge indirectly, except as otherwise permitted for a Person
required to comply with Sanctions, for the purpose of funding or financing any activities or business of any Person that at the time of such funding or financing is the target of any Sanctions. 

  
 57 













 Part B. Representations and Warranties of the Approved Borrowers. Each Approved
Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that: 
 SECTION 3.15 Existence of Approved Borrowers. It (a) is duly organized
and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation; (b) has all requisite power, and has all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as
now being or as proposed to be conducted; and (c) is qualified to do business in all jurisdictions in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary and where failure so to qualify would have a Material
Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.16 No Breach. None of the execution and delivery of its Designation Letter, the consummation of the
transactions herein contemplated and compliance with the terms and provisions hereof will conflict with or result in a breach of, or require any consent under, the charter or by-laws of such Approved Borrower,
or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority, or any agreement or instrument to which such Approved Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound or to
which any of them is subject, or constitute a default under any such agreement or instrument. 
 SECTION 3.17 Corporate Action. Such
Approved Borrower has all necessary power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under its Designation Letter and to perform its obligations hereunder; the execution and delivery by such Approved Borrower of its Designation
Letter and the performance by such Approved Borrower hereunder and thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary action on its part; and its Designation Letter when executed and delivered by such Approved Borrower, will constitute, the
legal, valid and binding obligation of such Approved Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms. 
 SECTION 3.18 Approvals.
No authorizations, approvals or consents of, and no filings or registrations with, any Governmental Authority are necessary for the execution, delivery or performance by such Approved Borrower of its Designation Letter or for the validity or
enforceability thereof. 
 SECTION 3.19 Taxes on Payments of Approved Borrowers. Except as disclosed to the Lenders in writing prior
to the delivery of such Approved Borrower’s Designation Letter, there is no income, stamp or other tax of any country, or of any taxing authority thereof or therein, imposed by or in the nature of withholding or otherwise, which is imposed on
any payment to be made by such Approved Borrower pursuant hereto, or is imposed on or by virtue of the execution, delivery or enforcement of its Designation Letter. 

ARTICLE IV 
 GUARANTEE 

SECTION 4.01 Guarantee. The Company guarantees to each Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns
the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code after any
bankruptcy or insolvency petition under the Bankruptcy Code, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding) on the Loans made by the Lenders to, and the promissory notes held by the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.08(f) of, any
Approved Borrower and all other monetary obligations, including fees, costs, expenses and

indemnities, whether primary, secondary, direct, contingent, fixed or otherwise (including monetary obligations incurred during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other
similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding) of any Approved Borrower and all other amounts from time to time owing to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent by any Approved Borrower under this Agreement
(including pursuant to its Designation Letter), in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Company hereby further agrees that if
any Approved Borrower shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Company will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the
case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or
renewal. This is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. 
 SECTION 4.02 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the
Company under Section 4.01 are absolute and unconditional irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity, legality or enforceability of the obligations of any Approved Borrower under this Agreement or any other agreement or
instrument referred to herein or therein (including any Designation Letter), or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (including any immunity, sovereign or otherwise, to which any Approved Borrower may be
entitled), it being the intent of this Section 4.02 that the obligations of the Company hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the
occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not affect the liability of the Company hereunder: 
 (a) at any time or from time to
time, without notice to the Company, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived; 

(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein
shall be amended, done or omitted; 
 (c) the unenforceability, illegality, invalidity or
non-provability of any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein; 

(d) the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights
against, or security over assets of, any Person; 
 (e) any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realize the full value of any Guaranteed Obligations; 

(f) any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of any Person; or 

(g) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified,
supplemented, or amended in any respect, or any right under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall
be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with. 

  
 59 













 The Company hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices
whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Approved Borrower under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or
against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 SECTION 4.03
Reinstatement. The obligations of the Company under this Article IV shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Approved Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise and the Company agrees that it will indemnify the
Administrative Agent and each Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration. 

SECTION 4.04 Subrogation. The Company hereby waives all rights of subrogation or contribution, whether arising by operation of law
(including any such right arising under the Bankruptcy Code, as now or hereafter in effect) or otherwise, by reason of any payment by it pursuant to the provisions of this Article IV and further agrees that for the benefit of each of its
creditors (including each Lender and the Administrative Agent) that any such payment by it of the Guaranteed Obligations of any Approved Borrower shall constitute a contribution of capital by the Company to such Approved Borrower or, if evidenced by
an instrument in form and substance (and containing terms of subordination) satisfactory to the Required Lenders, indebtedness subordinated in right of payment to the principal of and interest (including post-petition interest) on the Loans owing by
such Approved Borrower. 
 SECTION 4.05 Remedies. The Company agrees that, as between the Company and the Lenders, the obligations of
any Approved Borrower under this Agreement may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article VII (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Article VII) for
purposes of Section 4.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any Approved Borrower and that, in the event of such
declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by such Approved Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Company for purposes of said
Section 4.01.

 ARTICLE VIII 

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 Each
of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof,
together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 
 The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder
shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally
engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. 

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any
discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other
number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its judgment or the judgment of its counsel, may expose the
Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable Requirements of Law, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for
the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not
be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein) or in the absence of its own gross negligence
or willful misconduct as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the
Administrative Agent by the Company or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement,
(ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein,
(iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, 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 Company), 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. 

  
 70 













 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 and the Company. Upon any such
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor, subject to the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that the Company’s consent shall not be required if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 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,
then the retiring Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject to the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that the
Company’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. If the Administrative Agent notifies the Company that no Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become
effective and (1) the retiring 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. If the Person serving as
Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (e)(ii) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Company and such Person remove such Person as
Administrative Agent and, subject to the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that the Company’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with
such notice on the Removal Effective Date. 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 retired) 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 Company to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the
provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in
respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 Each Lender acknowledges
and agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and not investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the
ordinary course of its business and 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 as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender also 

  
 71 













 
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Company and its Affiliates) 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 related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a lender or assign or otherwise transfer its
rights, interests and obligations hereunder. 
 None of the Lenders or their Affiliates, if any, identified in this Agreement as a Lead
Arranger or Syndication Agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of Lenders, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the
Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent or such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to the relevant Lenders and their Affiliates in their
respective capacities as Lead Arrangers or Syndication Agent, as applicable, as it makes with respect to the Administrative Agent in the preceding paragraph.

SECTION 9.01 Notices. 

(a) Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and subject to paragraph
(b) below), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopy, as follows: 

(i) if to the Company or to any Borrower at Office of the Treasurer, International Paper Company, 6400 Poplar Avenue, Memphis,
TN 38197 (Telecopy No. (901) 214-1218; Telephone No. (901) 419-4740); with a copy to the Office of the General Counsel, 6400 Poplar Avenue, Memphis, TN 38197 (Telecopy

 (iii) if to a Lender, to it at its
address (or telecopy number) set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire. 
 Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and
other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto (or, in the case of any such change by a Lender, by notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent). All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt; provided, if any notice or other communication is received after a recipient’s normal business hours, such notice or other communication
shall be deemed received upon the opening of the next Business Day. Each Approved Borrower hereby agrees that any notice or other communication provided for herein to be given by or to such Approved Borrower may be given by or to the Company on
behalf of such Approved Borrower in the manner specified above and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be required to accept as effective any notice or other communication purporting to have been issued directly by an Approved
Borrower (and not by the Company on behalf of such Approved Borrower). 

  
 72 













 Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by
using Approved Electronic Platforms pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the
applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the Company may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of
such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. 
 (b) Posting of Communications. 

(i) The Borrowers agree that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to
the Lenders by posting the Communications on IntraLinksTM, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission
system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”). 
 (ii) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its
primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Effective Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the
Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders and each of the Borrowers acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative
Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the
Lenders and each of the Borrowers hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution. 

(iii) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE
APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM
AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM
FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LEAD ARRANGER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES
(COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY BORROWER, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR
EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM, OTHER THAN DIRECT ACTUAL DAMAGES
ARISING FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF ANY APPLICABLE PARTY (AS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A FINAL AND NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT). 

  
 73 













 (iv) Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence)
specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative
Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent
to such email address. 
 (v) Subject to Section 9.12, each of the Lenders and each of the Borrowers agrees that the
Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document
retention procedures and policies. 
 (vi) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender
to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document. 
 (c)
Public/Private. Each Obligor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to distribute (i) to Private Siders all Communications and (ii) to Public Siders such Communications and only such Communications that the Company clearly
identifies in writing as being available for communication to Public Siders (“Public Sider Communications”). The Company represents and warrants that no Public Sider Communication contains or will contain any MNPI. “Private
Siders” means Lenders’ employees and representatives who have declared that they are authorized to receive MNPI. “Public Siders” means Lenders’ employees and representatives who have not declared that they are
authorized to receive MNPI; it being understood that Public Siders may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to the Company or its Affiliates’ securities or loans. “MNPI” means material non-public information (within the meaning of United States federal securities laws) with respect to the Company, its Affiliates and any of their respective securities. 

Each Lender acknowledges that United States federal and state securities laws prohibit any Person from purchasing or selling securities on the
basis of material, non-public information concerning the issuer of such securities or, subject to certain limited exceptions, from communicating such information to any other Person. Each Lender confirms that
it has developed procedures to ensure compliance with these securities laws. 
 Each Lender acknowledges that circumstances may arise that
require it to refer to Communications that may contain MNPI. Accordingly, each Lender agrees that it will designate at least one individual to receive Private Sider Communications on its behalf in compliance with its procedures and applicable law
and identify such designee (including such designee’s contact information) on such Lender’s Administrative Questionnaire. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time of such Lender’s designee’s e-mail address to which notice of the availability of Private Sider Communications may be sent by electronic transmission. 

Each Lender that elects not to be given access to Private Sider Communications does so voluntarily and, by such election, acknowledges and
agrees that the Administrative Agent and other Lenders may have access to Private Sider Communications that such electing Lender does not have, and takes sole responsibility for the consequences of, and waives any and all claims based on or arising
out of, not having access to Private Sider Communications.

 SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments. 

(a) No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent 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 and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or consent to any departure by any Obligor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have
had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
 (b) Amendments. Subject to Section 2.12(b), (c) and (d), 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 (x) each Borrower and (y) the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent with the consent of
the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall 
 (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the
written consent of such Lender, 
 (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or
reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, 
 (iii) postpone
the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, 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) alter the manner in which payments or prepayments of
principal, interest or other amounts hereunder, or reductions of Commitments, shall be applied as among the Lenders or Types or Classes of Loans, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, or 

(v) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.02 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 or release or limit the Company’s
obligations (including, without limitation, those obligations under Article IV hereof) in respect of any Approved Borrower, without the written consent of each Lender; 

and provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and
restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (x) to add one or more credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and
the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement with the Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities
in any determination of the Required Lenders and Lenders. 

  
 75 













 SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Limitation of Liability; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Company shall pay (i) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements
of one primary counsel (in addition to one local counsel per jurisdiction) for the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service
such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any proposed or effective 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, the Lead Arrangers or any Lender,
including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under
this Section 9.03, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including in connection with any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof. 

(b) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and each Lender, and each
Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all 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 or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence
or Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, under or from any property or facility owned or operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any liability arising under any Environmental Law related in any way to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective 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 Liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. 

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Company fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative
Agent and the Lead Arrangers under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9.03, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that
the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (it being understood that the Company’s failure to pay any such amount shall not relieve the Borrowers of any default in the payment thereof);
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 and the Lead Arrangers, as applicable, in their
respective capacities as such. 
 (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages Etc. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Obligor shall
assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any of the Administrative Agent, any Lead Arranger and any Lender, and any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called a “Lender-Related Person”) (i) for
any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), except to the extent of direct or actual damages that
have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Lender-Related Person (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment), or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special,
indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby, any
Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. 

  
 76 













 (e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be payable promptly
after written demand therefor. 
 SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns. 

(a) Successors Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) no Obligor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer
by any Obligor without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.04. 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, the Lead Arrangers, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 9.04)
and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

(b) Assignments by Lenders. 

(i) Assignments Generally. Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one
or more Persons (other than an Ineligible Institution) 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 of: 

(A) the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided that the Company shall be deemed to have
consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof), provided that no consent of the Company shall be required
for an assignment to a Lender or, if an Event of Default referred to in clause (a), (e), (f) or (g) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and 

(B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). 

(ii) Certain Conditions to Assignments. Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate (or Approved Fund) of a Lender or an assignment of the
entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with
respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Company shall be required
if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, 

  
 77 













 (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a
proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights
and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans, 
 (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and 

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 

(iii) Effectiveness of Assignments. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this
Section 9.04, 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 in addition to any rights and obligations theretofore held by it as a Lender, 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 and subject to the obligations of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 9.03 and 9.12). 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 9.04. 

(iv) Maintenance of Register. The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a
non-fiduciary agent of the Obligors, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York 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 and stated interest of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive, and the Obligors, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Obligors and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(v) Acceptance of Assignments by Administrative Agent. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption
executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b)(ii)(C) of this
Section 9.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b)(i) of this Section 9.04, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register.
No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 

(c) Participations. 

  
 78 













 (i) Participations Generally. Any Lender may, without the consent of
the Company or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), other than an Ineligible Institution, 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 Obligors, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso
to Section 9.02(b), that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 9.04, the Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of and subject to the obligations under Sections 2.13, 2.14,
2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections
2.17 and 2.18 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Company’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to
effectuate the provisions of Section 2.18(b) with respect to any Participant. 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 2.17(d) as though it were a Lender. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary, any bank that is a member of the Farm Credit System that (a) has purchased a participation from CoBank in the
minimum amount of $5,000,000 on or after the Effective Date, (b) is, by written notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent (“Voting Participant Notification”), designated by CoBank as being entitled to be accorded the
rights of a voting participant hereunder (any bank that is a member of the Farm Credit System so designated being called a “Voting Participant”) and (c) receives prior written consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent
to become a Voting Participant, shall be entitled to vote (and the voting rights of CoBank shall be correspondingly reduced), on a dollar-for-dollar basis, as if such
participant were a Lender, on any matter requiring or allowing a Lender to provide or withhold its consent, or to otherwise vote on any proposed action. To be effective, each Voting Participant Notification shall, with respect to any Voting
Participant, (i) state the full name, as well as all contact information required of assignee as set forth in Exhibit A hereto and (ii) state the Dollar amount of the participation purchased. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of
the following members of the Farm Credit System shall be a Voting Participant without delivery of a Voting Participant Notification and without the prior written consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent: (i) 1st Farm Credit Services, FLCA, (ii) American AgCredit, FLCA, (iii) AgFirst Farm Credit Bank, (iv) United FCS, FLCA dba FCS Commercial Finance Group, (v) Farm Credit West, FLCA,
(vi) Farm Credit Bank of Texas, (vii) Farm Credit Mid-America, FLCA, (viii) Farm Credit of New Mexico, FLCA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Farm Credit of New Mexico, ACA, (ix) Farm Credit
Services of America, FLCA and (x) Northwest Farm Credit Services, FLCA. The Company and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on information contained in notices delivered pursuant to this paragraph. 

(ii) Limitations on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 2.13, 2.15 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company’s prior
written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless the Company is notified of the participation 

  
 79 













 
sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Obligors, to comply with Section 2.15(e) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation
required under Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the participating Lender). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, 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 Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) or Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, an amended or successor version). 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. 
 (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 pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 9.04
shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee
for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by any
Obligor 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 the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent 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 and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of 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 5.01, 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 of (x) this Agreement,
(y) any other Loan Document and/or (z) any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any notice delivered pursuant to Section 9.01), certificate, request, statement, disclosure
or authorization related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby and/or 

  
 80 













 
thereby (each an “Ancillary Document”) that is an Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf, or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual
executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, such other Loan Document or such Ancillary Document, as applicable. The words “execution,” “signed,”
“signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in
any electronic form (including deliveries by telecopy, emailed pdf, or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a
manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided, that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or
format without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Administrative
Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such
Electronic Signature and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be followed by a manually executed counterpart. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrowers hereby
(i) agree that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Borrowers, Electronic

Ancillary Document in the form of an imaged electronic record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document (and all such electronic records shall be
considered an original for all purposes and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record), (iii) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any
other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document and/or such Ancillary Document, respectively, including with respect to any signature pages thereto and
(iv) waives any claim against any Lender-Related Person for any Liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures and/or transmissions by telecopy, emailed pdf,
or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page, including any Liabilities arising as a result of the failure of any Borrower to use any available security measures in connection with the execution,
delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature. 
 SECTION 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any
time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or
for the credit or the account of any Obligor against any of and all the obligations of such Obligor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this
Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under 

  
 81 













 
this Section 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Company and the Administrative
Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

jurisdiction over any Person, or decline (or in the case of the Federal District Court, lack) jurisdiction over any subject matter of such action or proceeding, a legal action or proceeding may be brought with respect thereto in another court having
jurisdiction and (iii) in the event a legal action or proceeding is brought against any party hereto or involving any of its assets or property in another court (without any collusive assistance by such party or any of its Subsidiaries or

(ii) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or
hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient forum and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

services may be offered or provided to the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more subsidiaries or affiliates of such Lender and each Obligor hereby authorizes each
Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such subsidiary or affiliate, it being
understood that any such subsidiary or affiliate receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 9.12 as if it were a Lender hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the

 SECTION
9.13 European Monetary Union. 
 (a) Definitions. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 

“EMU” means economic and monetary union as contemplated in the Treaty on European Union. 

“EMU Legislation” means legislative measures of the European Council for the introduction of, changeover to or operation of a
single or unified European currency (whether known as the euro or otherwise), being in part the implementation of the third stage of EMU. 

“Euros” means the single currency of Participating Member States of the European Union, which shall be a Foreign Currency
under this Agreement. 
 “National Currency” means the Currency, other than the Euro, of a Participating Member State. 

“Participating Member State” means each state so described in any EMU Legislation. 

“Target Operating Day” means any day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer
(TARGET2) payment system (or, if such payment system ceases to be operative, such other payment system (if any) reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be a suitable replacement) for the settlement of payments in Euros is open for the
settlement of payments in Euros. 
 “Treaty on European Union” means the Treaty of Rome of March 25, 1957, as amended
by the Single European Act 1986 and the Maastricht Treaty (which was signed at Maastricht on February 7, 1992, and came into force on November 1, 1993), as amended from time to time. 

  
 84 













 (b) Effectiveness of Provisions. The provisions of paragraphs (c) through (h) of
this Section 9.13 shall be effective on the date hereof, provided that, if and to the extent that any such provision relates to any state (or the Currency of such state) that is not a Participating Member State on the date hereof, such
provision shall become effective in relation to such state (and such Currency) at and from the date on which such state becomes a Participating Member State. 

(c) Redenomination and Alternative Currencies. Each obligation under this Agreement of a party to this Agreement which has been
denominated in the National Currency of a state that is not a Participating Member State on the date hereof shall, effective upon the date on which such state becomes a Participating Member State, be redenominated in Euros in accordance with EMU
Legislation; provided that, if and to the extent that any EMU Legislation provides that an amount denominated either in Euros or in the National Currency of a Participating Member State and payable within the Participating Member State by
crediting an account of the creditor can be paid by the debtor either in Euros or in such National Currency, any party to this Agreement shall be entitled to pay or repay any such amount either in Euros or in such National Currency. 

(d) Payments by the Administrative Agent Generally. With respect to the payment of any amount denominated in Euros or in a National
Currency, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any Borrower or any of the Lenders in any way whatsoever for any delay, or the consequences of any delay, in the crediting to any account of any amount required by this Agreement to be paid
by the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent shall have taken all relevant steps to achieve, on the date required by this Agreement, the payment of such amount in immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds (in Euros or in
such National Currency, as the case may be) to the account of any Lender in the Principal Financial Center in the Participating Member State which such Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, shall have specified for such purpose. For the
purposes of this paragraph, “all relevant steps” means all such steps as may be prescribed from time to time by the regulations or operating procedures of such clearing or settlement system as the Administrative Agent may from time to time
determine for the purpose of clearing or settling payments in Euros or such National Currency. 
 (e) Certain Rate Determinations. For
the purposes of determining the date on which the Eurocurrency Rate is determined under this Agreement for the Interest Period for any Borrowing denominated in Euros (or in any National Currency), references in this Agreement to Business Days shall
be deemed to be references to Target Operating Days. 
 (f) Basis of Accrual. If the basis of accrual of interest or fees expressed in
this Agreement with respect to the Currency of any state that becomes a Participating Member State shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest or fees in respect of the Euro,
such convention or practice shall replace such expressed basis effective as of and from the date on which such state becomes a Participating Member State; provided that, with respect to any Borrowing denominated in such Currency that is
outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect at the end of the Interest Period therefor. 
 (g)
Rounding. Without prejudice and in addition to any method of conversion or rounding prescribed by the EMU Legislation, each reference in this Agreement to a minimum amount, or to a multiple of a specified amount, in a National Currency to be
paid to or by the Administrative Agent shall be replaced by a reference to such reasonably comparable and convenient amount, or to a multiple of such reasonably comparable and convenient amount, in Euros as the Administrative Agent may from time to
time reasonably specify. 

  
 85 













 (h) Other Consequential Changes. Without prejudice to the respective liabilities of
any Borrower to the Lenders and the Lenders to any Borrower under or pursuant to this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Section 9.13, each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as
the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction of or changeover to the Euro in Participating Member States. 

SECTION 9.14 Judgment Currency. This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars or any Foreign
Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Currency”), and payment in New York City or the country of the Specified Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Place”), is of the essence, and the Specified
Currency shall be the currency of account in all events relating to Loans denominated in the Specified Currency. The payment obligations of the Obligors under this Agreement shall not be discharged or satisfied by an amount paid in another currency
or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified Currency and transfer to the Specified Place under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of the
Specified Currency at the Specified Place due hereunder. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the Specified Currency into another currency (the “Second Currency”),
the rate of exchange that shall be applied shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Specified Currency with the Second Currency on the Business Day next preceding the day on
which such judgment is rendered. The obligation of any Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (in this Section 9.14 called an “Entitled Person”) shall,
notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Entitled Person of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency such
Entitled Person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer to the Specified Place the Specified Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so adjudged to be due; and such Obligor hereby, as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify such Entitled Person against, and to pay such Entitled Person on demand, in the Specified Currency, the amount (if any) by which the sum originally due to such Entitled Person in the Specified
Currency hereunder exceeds the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased and transferred. 
 SECTION 9.15 USA PATRIOT Act. Each
Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notify each Obligor that pursuant to the “know your customer” regulations and the requirements of the Patriot Act
and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, they are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Obligor, which information includes the name, address and tax identification number (and other identifying information in the
event this information is insufficient to complete verification) that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to verify the identity of each Obligor. This information must be delivered to the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent no later than five days prior to the Effective Date and thereafter promptly upon request. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation and is effective as to the Lenders
and the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 9.16 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any
time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the
“Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all
Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this
Section 9.16 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but 

  
 86 













 
not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the NYFRB Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. 

SECTION 9.17 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution arising hereunder, to the extent such liability is unsecured (all such liabilities,
other than any Excluded Liability, the “Covered Liabilities”), may be subject to Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 

(a) the application of Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any Covered Liability arising
hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and 
 (b) the effects of
any Bail-in Action on any such Covered Liability, including, if applicable: 
 (i) a
reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such Covered Liability; 
 (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of,
such Covered Liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments
of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such Covered Liability under this Agreement; or 

(iii) the variation of the terms of such Covered Liability in connection with the exercise of Write-Down and Conversion Powers
of the applicable Resolution Authority. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing contained in this Section 9.17
shall modify or otherwise alter the rights or obligations under this Agreement with respect to any liability that is not a Covered Liability. 

SECTION 9.18 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee
or otherwise, for Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the
resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S.
Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the
State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): 
 In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a
Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or
under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S.
Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a
BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject 

  
 87 













 
to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised
against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United
States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with
respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support. 
 SECTION 9.19 Certain ERISA Matters. 

(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the
date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, and the Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to

discretion, and such Lender. 
 (b) In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately

Arrangers or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or
any documents related hereto or thereto). 

  
 88 













 (c) The Administrative Agent and each Lead Arranger hereby informs the Lenders that each
such Person is not undertaking to provide investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in
that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Commitments, this Agreement and any other Loan Documents, (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans or the

SECTION 9.20 Erroneous Payments. 

(a) Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in
its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a
“Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one
(1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including
the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right
of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge
for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this Section 9.20 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 

(b) Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in
a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or
accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have
been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the

time in effect. 

  
 89 













 (c) The Company and each other Borrower hereby agrees that (x) in the event an
erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and
(y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Company or any other Borrower, except to the extent such erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such
erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Company or any other Borrower for the purpose of satisfying an Obligation. 

(d) Each party’s obligations under this Section 9.20 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any
transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document. 

(e) As used in this Section 9.20, “Obligations” means all advances to, and debts, liabilities, obligations, covenants and
duties of, the Borrowers arising under any Loan Document or otherwise with respect to any Loan, whether direct or indirect (including those acquired by assumption), absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising and
including interest and fees that accrue after the commencement by or against the Borrowers or any Affiliate thereof of any proceeding under any debtor relief laws naming such Person as the debtor in such proceeding, regardless of whether such
interest and fees are allowed or allowable claims in such proceeding. Without limiting the foregoing, the Obligations include (a) the obligation to pay principal, interest, charges, expenses, fees, indemnities and other amounts payable by the
Borrowers under any Loan Document and (b) the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse any amount in respect of any of the foregoing that the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in each case in its sole discretion, may elect to pay or advance
