majority of the Equity Interests with ordinary voting power of another Person, in each case whether or not involving a merger or consolidation with such other Person and whether for cash, property, services, assumption of Indebtedness, securities or
otherwise. 
 “Act” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 10.14. 

“Adjusted LIBO Rate” means, with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowing for any Interest Period, an interest rate

of Revolving Loans made by a Lender from its office or branch in the United Kingdom, the Mandatory Cost. 

“Administrative Agent” means JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (including its subsidiaries and Affiliates), in its
capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders hereunder.

Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, respectively.

 “Applicable Percentage” means, with respect to any Lender, the percentage of the total Commitments
represented by such Lender’s Commitment; provided that in the case of Section 2.20 when a Defaulting Lender shall exist, “Applicable Percentage” shall mean the percentage of the total Commitments (disregarding any
Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) represented by such Lender’s Commitment. If the Commitments have terminated or expired, the Applicable Percentages shall be determined based upon the Revolving Credit Exposure then in effect, giving effect
to any assignments and to any Lender’s status as a Defaulting Lender at the time of determination.

 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 Tier V; (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 Tiers, the Applicable Rate shall be based on the higher of the two ratings unless one of the two ratings is two or more Tiers lower than the other,
in which case the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to the Tier next above that of the lower 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, irrespective of when notice of
such change shall have been furnished by the Company to the Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section 5.01 or otherwise. 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 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.

when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Company in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice,
each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Company, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07
shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the
Administrative Agent of any payment from the Company pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the
Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a
Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. If the Company’s reimbursement of, or obligation to reimburse, any amounts in any Foreign
Currency would subject a Credit Party to any stamp duty, ad valorem charge or similar tax that would not be payable if such reimbursement were made or required to be made in U.S. Dollars, the Company shall, at its option, either (x) pay the
amount of any such tax requested by such Credit Party or (y) reimburse each LC Disbursement made in such Foreign Currency in U.S. Dollars, in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount, calculated using the applicable exchange rates, on the date such
LC Disbursement is made, of such LC Disbursement. 
 (f) Obligations Absolute. The Company’s obligation to
reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever
and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a
right of setoff against, the Company’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Credit Parties nor any of their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of
Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or
other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to 

  
 -29-









 
make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall
not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Company to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Company to the
extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Company that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The
parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in
each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter
of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make
payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 
 (g)
Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative
Agent and the Company by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not
relieve the Company of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. 

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Company shall reimburse such LC
Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Company reimburses such LC
Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans (or, if such LC Disbursement is denominated in a Foreign Currency, at the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate for such Foreign Currency plus the then effective Applicable Rate
with respect to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans); provided that, if the Company fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply. Interest accrued
pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the
account of such Lender to the extent of such payment. 
 (i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be
replaced at any time by written agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the
time any such replacement shall become effective, the Company shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement,
(i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this 

  
 -30-









 
Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any
previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the
rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. 

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Company receives
notice from the Administrative Agent at the written request of the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than fifty percent (50%) of the total LC Exposure)
demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, an amount in
cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and
payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent
as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account, and the Borrowers hereby grant to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, a security interest in such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of
the Administrative Agent and at the Company’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the
Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Company for the LC Exposure at
such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than fifty percent (50%) of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Obligations. If the
Company is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Company within three (3) Business Days
after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. 
 SECTION 2.07 Funding of Borrowings. 

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available
funds (i) in the case of Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders, and (ii) in the case of
Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency, by 12:00 noon, Local Time, in the city of the Administrative Agent’s Eurocurrency Payment Office for such Foreign Currency and at such Eurocurrency Payment Office; provided that Swingline Loans
shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the 

  
 -31-









 
applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to (x) in the case of Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, an account of such Borrower maintained with the
Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by the Company in the applicable Borrowing Request, and (y) in the case of Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency, an account of such Borrower in the relevant jurisdiction and designated by
the Company in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing
Bank. 
 (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any
Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph
(a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount
is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent
in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (including the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate in the case of Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency) 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 2.08 Interest Elections. 
 (a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially
shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Company may elect to convert
such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Company may elect different options with respect to
different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate
Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued. 
 (b) To make an
election pursuant to this Section, the Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telecopy of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Company (or, in the case of a
Revolving Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars, by telephone confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the
Company) by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Company were requesting a Revolving 

  
 -32-









 
Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the Company shall not be permitted to
(i) change the currency of any Borrowing, (ii) elect an Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d) or (iii) convert any Borrowing to a Borrowing of a Type not available to the
applicable Borrower for such Borrowing when it was made. 
 (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall be
irrevocable and shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
  

	 	(i)	the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions
thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 


 

	 	(ii)	the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 


 

	 	(iii)	whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and 


 

	 	(iv)	if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period and Agreed Currency to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which
Interest Period shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 

 If any such Interest
Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Company shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration. 

(d) 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) If the Company fails to deliver a timely Interest
Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period (i) in the case of a
Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars, such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing, and (ii) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency, such Borrowing shall automatically continue as a Eurocurrency Borrowing in the
same Agreed Currency with an Interest Period of one (1) month. 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 Company, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (x) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (y) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing shall
be converted to an ABR Borrowing (and any such Eurocurrency Revolving 

  
 -33-









 
Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be redenominated in Dollars at the time of such conversion) at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

SECTION 2.09 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. 

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

(b) The Borrowers 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 an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (ii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the
Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the Dollar Amount of the total Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments. 
 (c) The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three (3) 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 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, 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. 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 2.10 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. 

(a) (i) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan made to such Borrower on the Maturity Date in the currency of such Loan and (ii) the Company hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal
amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the fifteenth (15th) or last day of a calendar month and is at least two (2) Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made;
provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made to the Company, the Company shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding. 
 (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made to such Borrower by
such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the
Class, Agreed Currency and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable 

  
 -34-









 
or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and
each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or
(c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error
therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of each Borrower to repay the Loans made to such Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of
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 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered
assigns). 
 SECTION 2.11 Prepayment of Loans. 

(a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior
notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that each prepayment shall be in an aggregate amount that is (i) an integral multiple of (A) in the case of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, $100,000, (B) in the
case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars, $1,000,000, (C) in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing denominated in Japanese Yen, ¥100,000,000, and (D) in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving
Borrowing denominated in any other Foreign Currency, the smallest amount of such Foreign Currency that has an Equivalent Amount in excess of $1,000,000, and (ii) not less than (A) in the case of a Swingline Borrowing, $100,000, (B) in
the case of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, $1,000,000, (C) in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars, $1,000,000, (D) in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing denominated in Japanese Yen,
¥100,000,000, and (E) in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing denominated in any other Foreign Currency, the smallest amount of such Foreign Currency that has an Equivalent Amount in excess of $1,000,000. 

(b) The Company, on behalf of the applicable Borrower, shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a
Swingline Loan, the Company shall notify the Swingline Lender) by telecopy of a written notice signed by the Borrower (or, in the case of a prepayment of a Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars, by telephone confirmed promptly by hand delivery or
telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written notice signed by the Borrower) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York
City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, four (4) Business Days
before the date of prepayment, (iii) in the case of 

  
 -35-









 
prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment or (iv) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00
noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such telephonic and written notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided
that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in
accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing
shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the
prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13 and break funding payments to the extent required by Section 2.16. 

(c) If at any time, (i) other than as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the sum of the aggregate principal
Dollar Amount of the total Revolving Credit Exposures (calculated, with respect to Revolving Loans and LC Exposure denominated in Foreign Currencies, as of the most recent Computation Date with respect to each such Revolving Loans and LC Exposure)
exceeds the total Commitments or (ii) solely as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the aggregate principal Dollar Amount of the total Revolving Credit Exposures (so calculated), as of the most recent Computation Date, exceeds
one hundred five percent (105%) of the total Commitments, the Borrowers shall, in each case, immediately repay Borrowings or cash collateralize LC Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(j), as
applicable, in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to cause the Dollar Amount of the total Revolving Credit Exposures (so calculated) to be less than or equal to the total Commitments. 

SECTION 2.12 Fees. 
 (a) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the 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 date on which such Commitment terminates; 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 in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur
after the date hereof; provided that any facility fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All facility fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days
and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 

  
 -36-









 (b) The Company agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans on the average
daily Dollar Amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such
Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between the Company and
the Issuing Bank on the average daily Dollar Amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of
termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings
thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third (3rd) Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date;
provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank
pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and shall be payable for the actual number
of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 
 (c) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent and the Arrangers, for their own respective accounts, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Company, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent or either Arranger, on the other. 

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds, to the Administrative
Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of facility fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 

SECTION 2.13 Interest. 
 (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for
such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or
any fee or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to
(i) in the case of overdue principal of any 

  
 -37-









 
Loan, two percent (2%) plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, two percent
(2%) plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section. 
 (d) Accrued interest on
each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section
shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid
shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on
the effective date of such conversion. All interest shall be payable in the currency in which the applicable Loan is denominated. 
 (e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days, except that (i) interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the
Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) days (or three hundred sixty-six (366) days in a leap year) and (ii) for Borrowings denominated in Pounds
Sterling shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) days, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate
Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO
Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or 
 (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the
Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for 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 such Interest
Period; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as
practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving
Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective, (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as
an ABR Borrowing, and (iii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency, such Borrowing Request shall be ineffective; provided that if the circumstances giving


  
 -38-









 
rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted. 

SECTION 2.15 Increased Costs. 
 (a) If any Change in Law shall: 
  

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


 

	 	(ii)	impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting any Loan Document or Eurocurrency Loans made by
such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 

 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the
cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan (including pursuant to any conversion of any Borrowing denominated in an Agreed Currency to a Borrowing denominated in any
other Agreed Currency) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (including pursuant to any conversion of any Borrowing denominated in an Agreed Currency to a
Borrowing denominated in any other Agreed Currency) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder, whether of principal, interest or otherwise (including pursuant to any conversion of any
Borrowing denominated in an Agreed Currency to a Borrowing denominated in any other Agreed Currency), then the Company will pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank reasonably determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the
Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of any Loan Document or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the
Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such
Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Company will pay (or cause the applicable Designated
Borrower to pay) to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction
suffered. 

  
 -39-









 (c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The
Company shall pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute
a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions
incurred more than two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s
or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the two hundred seventy (270) day period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 SECTION 2.16 Break
Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or as a result of any prepayment
pursuant to Section 2.11), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the
date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the
last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Company shall compensate (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to compensate) each
Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have
accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor
(or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest
rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any
amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) such
Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

 SECTION 2.17 Taxes. 

(a) Withholding Taxes; Gross-Up. Each payment by any Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without withholding for any
Indemnified Taxes, unless such withholding is required by law. If any Withholding Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Indemnified Taxes, then such Withholding Agent may so withhold and
shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. The amount payable in respect of Indemnified Taxes by any Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that net of such
withholding (including withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made. 

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) Evidence of Payment. As soon as practicable after any payment of
Indemnified 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. 
 (d)
Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify each Recipient for any Indemnified Taxes that are paid or payable by such Recipient in connection with any Loan Document (including amounts paid or payable under this
Section 2.17(d)) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this
Section 2.17(d) shall be paid within ten (10) days after the Recipient delivers to the applicable Borrower a certificate stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so paid or payable by such Recipient and describing the basis for
the indemnification claim. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. Such Recipient shall deliver a copy of such certificate to the Administrative Agent. 

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify (i) the Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but,
in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that any Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified 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 any Loan Document and (ii) each Borrower and the Administrative Agent for any Taxes incurred by or asserted against any Borrower or the Administrative Agent by any
Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender, to the Company or the Administrative Agent
pursuant to subsection (f); in each case of the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), including 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 2.17(e) shall be paid within ten (10) days after the Administrative Agent or the applicable Borrower (as applicable) delivers to the applicable


  
 -41-









 
Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Borrower (as applicable). Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so
paid or payable absent manifest error. 
 (f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption
from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law or as reasonably requested by the Company or
the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any
Lender, if requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to
determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. Upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or
certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.17(f). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such
Lender shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or
certification if it is legally eligible to do so. 
  

	 	(ii)	Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Borrower is a U.S. Person, any Lender with respect to such Borrower shall, if it is legally eligible to do so,
deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies reasonably requested by the Company and the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto, duly completed and executed copies
of whichever of the following is applicable: 

 (A) in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person,
IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States Federal backup withholding tax; 
 (B) in
the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or
reduction of, United States Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or
reduction of, United States Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 
 (C) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender for whom payments under this Agreement constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lender’s


  
 -42-









 
conduct of a trade or business in the United States of America, IRS Form W-8ECI; 
 (D) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN and (2) a certificate
substantially in the applicable form attached as Exhibit B (a “U.S. Tax Certificate”) to the effect that such Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (b) a
“10 percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (d) conducting a trade or
business in the United States of America with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected; 

(E) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under this Agreement (including a
partnership or a participating Lender) (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) all required supporting documentation, including the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (F) of this
Section 2.17(f)(ii) that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; or 

(F) any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding
Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld. 

 

	 	(iii)	If a Withholding Agent determines that a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document may be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender
were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed
by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably
requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to
determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(f)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 


 

	 	(iv)	 Without limiting the obligations of the Lenders set forth above regarding delivery of certain forms and documents to establish each Lender’s
status for U.S. withholding tax purposes, each Lender agrees promptly to deliver 



  
 -43-










	 	
to the Administrative Agent or the Company, as the Administrative Agent or the Company shall reasonably request, on or prior to the Effective Date, and in a timely fashion thereafter, such other
documents and forms required by any relevant taxing authorities under the laws of any other jurisdiction, duly executed and completed by such Lender, as are required under such laws to confirm such Lender’s entitlement to any available
exemption from, or reduction of, applicable withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender outside of the United States of America by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s
status for withholding tax purposes in such other jurisdiction. Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any such claimed exemption or reduction, and
(B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its applicable lending office) to avoid any requirement of
applicable laws of any such jurisdiction that any Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender. Additionally, each of the Borrowers shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the
Administrative Agent or such Lender shall reasonably request, on or prior to the Effective Date, and in a timely fashion thereafter, such documents and forms required by any relevant taxing authorities under the laws of any jurisdiction, duly
executed and completed by such Borrower, as are required to be furnished by such Lender or the Administrative Agent under such laws in connection with any payment by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of Taxes or Other Taxes, or otherwise in
connection with the Loan Documents, with respect to such jurisdiction. 

 (g) Notwithstanding anything else
herein to the contrary, if a Lender is subject to U.S. Federal withholding tax at a rate in excess of zero percent at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement, such U.S. Federal withholding tax (including additions to tax,
penalties and interest imposed with respect to such U.S. Federal withholding tax) shall be considered excluded from Indemnified Taxes except to the extent such Lender’s assignor was entitled to additional amounts or indemnity payments prior to
the assignment. Further, a Borrower shall not be required pursuant to this Section 2.17 to pay any additional amount to, or to indemnify, any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to the extent that such Lender or
Administrative Agent becomes subject to Indemnified Taxes subsequent to the Effective Date (or, if later, the date such Lender or Administrative Agent becomes a party to this Agreement) solely as a result of a change in the place of organization or
place of doing business of such Lender or Administrative Agent or a change in the lending office of such Lender (other than at the written request of a Borrower to change such lending office). 

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a
refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund
(but 

  
 -44-









 
only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such indemnified
party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid
such indemnified party pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. This Section 2.17(h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other
Person. 
 (i) Issuing Bank. For purposes of Section 2.17(e) and (f), the term “Lender”
includes the Issuing Bank. 
 SECTION 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

 (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or
reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or
counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments
shall be made to the Administrative Agent at (x) in the case of payments denominated in U.S. Dollars, its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, and (y) in the case of payments denominated in a Foreign Currency, its Eurocurrency
Payment Office for such Foreign Currency, in each case except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17
and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof.
If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the
period of such extension. All payments hereunder of principal or interest in respect of any Loan or LC Disbursement shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be made in the currency of such Loan or LC Disbursement, and all other payments
hereunder and under each other Loan Document shall be made in U.S. Dollars. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if, after the making of any Borrowing or LC Disbursement in any Foreign Currency, currency control or exchange
regulations are imposed in the country which issues such Foreign Currency with the result that such Foreign Currency no longer exists or the applicable Borrower is not able to make payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders
in such Foreign Currency, then all payments to be made by such Borrower hereunder in such Foreign Currency shall instead be made when due in U.S. Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of repayment) of such payment due, it
being the intention of the parties hereto that such Borrower takes all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations. 

  
 -45-









 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative
Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of 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, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance
with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties. 
 (c) If any Lender shall, by
exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment
of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater
proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by
the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations
are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this
paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a
participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to any Borrower 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 set-off and counterclaim
with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing
Bank hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or
the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the
greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (including the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate in the case of Loans denominated in a
Foreign Currency). 

  
 -46-









 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.05(c), 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, apply any amounts thereafter
received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold 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 any such Section, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii) above, in any order as
determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion. 
 SECTION 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement
of Lenders. 
 (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Borrower is required to
pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking
its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant
to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Company hereby agrees to pay
(or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any
Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or 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 restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be
another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank), which consent shall
not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all
other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from
a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. 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. 

  
 -47-









 SECTION 2.20 Defaulting Lenders. 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions
shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (a) fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such
Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a); 
 (b) the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such
Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to
Section 10.02); provided that any waiver, amendment or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender disproportionately when compared to the other affected
Lenders, or increases or extends the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender; 
 (c) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: 
  

	 	(i)	all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their
respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent that (A) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all
non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments, (B) such reallocation does not cause the Revolving Credit Exposure of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment, and (C) the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time; 

  

	 	(ii)	if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day following notice
by the Administrative Agent (A) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (B) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Bank only the Company’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure
(after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding; 


 

	 	(iii)	 if the Company cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Company shall not
be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure 



  
 -48-










	 	
during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized; 

  

	 	(iv)	if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to
Section 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and 

  

	 	(v)	if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then,
without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would have been payable under Section 2.12(a) to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion
of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank
until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and 

 (d) so long as
such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the
related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be one hundred percent (100%) covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Company in accordance with
clause (c) above, and (ii) participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued, amended, renewed or extended Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with clause
(c)(i) above (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). 
 In the event that the Administrative Agent, the
Company, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be
readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary
in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. 
 SECTION 2.21
Expansion Option. 
 (a) The Company may from time to time, but not more than five (5) times during the term of
this Agreement, elect to increase the aggregate Commitments and/or enter into one or more tranches of term loans (each, an “Incremental Term Loan”), in each case in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and an integral multiple of
$5,000,000 in excess thereof so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of such Commitment increases and all such Incremental Term Loans does not exceed $200,000,000. The Company may arrange for any such Commitment increase or
Incremental Term Loan to be provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Commitment, or to participate in such 

  
 -49-









 
Incremental Term Loans, 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 to participate in such Incremental Term Loans, 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 and, except in the case of an Incremental Term Loan, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank, which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld and (ii) (A) in the
case of an Increasing Lender, the Company and such Increasing Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G, and (B) in the case of an Augmenting Lender, the Company and such Augmenting Lender execute an agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto. No consent of any Lender (other than the Lenders participating in such Commitment increase or Incremental Term Loan) shall be required for any such increase or Incremental Term Loan pursuant to
this Section 2.21. 
 (b) Commitment increases, new Commitments and Incremental Term Loans created pursuant to this
Section 2.21 shall become effective on the date agreed by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Increasing Lenders and/or Augmenting Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no increase in the aggregate Commitments (or in the Commitment of any Lender) or Incremental Term Loan shall become effective under this paragraph unless (i) on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such Commitment increase
or Incremental Term Loan, (A) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 4.02 shall be satisfied both before and immediately after giving effect to such Commitment increase or Incremental Term Loan or
waived by the Required Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Company and (B) the Company shall be in pro forma compliance
with the Consolidated Leverage Ratio covenant set forth in Section 6.05(a), with Consolidated Total Debt measured as of the date of and immediately after giving effect to any funding in connection with such Commitment increase or
Incremental Term Loan (and the application of proceeds thereof to the repayment of any other Indebtedness) and Consolidated EBITDA measured for the Reference Period then most recently ended for which the Company has delivered financial statements
pursuant to Sections 5.01(a) or (b), and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date as to the corporate power and authority of the Borrowers to borrow
hereunder immediately after giving effect to such Commitment increase or Incremental Term Loan. 
 (c) On the effective date of
any increase in the aggregate Commitments or any Incremental Term Loan being made, (i) 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 Commitment increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s
portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans of all the Lenders to equal its Applicable Percentage of such outstanding Revolving Loans, and (ii) the Borrowers shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Loans as of the
date of any increase in the Commitments (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Revolving Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Company, in accordance with the requirements of
Section 2.03). The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately 

  
 -50-









 
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 2.16 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods. 
 (d) The Incremental Term Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Revolving Loans, (ii) shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date (but may have amortization prior to
such date) and (iii) shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) the Revolving Loans; provided that (x) the terms and conditions applicable to any Incremental Term Loan maturing after the
Maturity Date may provide for material additional or different financial or other covenants or prepayment requirements applicable only during periods after the Maturity Date and (ii) the Incremental Term Loans may be priced differently than the
Revolving Loans. 
 (e) Incremental Term Loans may be made hereunder pursuant to an amendment or restatement (an
“Incremental Term Loan Amendment”) of this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Company, each Increasing Lender participating in such Incremental Term Loan, each Augmenting Lender
participating in such Incremental Term Loan, if any, and the Administrative Agent. Each Incremental Term Loan Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be
necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21. Nothing contained in this Section 2.21 shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a
commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Commitment hereunder, or provide Incremental Term Loans, at any time. 

SECTION 2.22 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due from
any Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of
exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s main New York City office on the Business
Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of any Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Credit Party hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be
discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Credit Party of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Credit Party may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the
specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Credit Party in the specified currency, the applicable Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may
effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Credit Party against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Credit Party
in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 2.18, such Credit Party agrees to remit such excess to such
Borrower.

 SECTION 2.23 Designated Borrowers. 

(a) Effective as of the date hereof, each Subsidiary identified on Schedule 2.23 shall be a Designated Borrower hereunder and may
receive Revolving Loans for its account on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 
 (b) The Company may at any
time, upon not less than fifteen (15) Business Days’ notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), designate any additional wholly owned
Subsidiary of the Company (an “Applicant Borrower”) as a Designated Borrower to receive Revolving Loans hereunder by delivering to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver counterparts thereof to each Lender) a
duly executed notice and agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit C (a “Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement”). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to any Applicant Borrower
becoming entitled to utilize the credit facilities provided for herein the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received such supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information, in
form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as may be required by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders in their reasonable discretion, and promissory notes signed by such new Borrowers to the extent any
Lenders so require. If the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders agree that the foregoing conditions have been satisfied, then promptly following receipt of all such requested resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and
other documents or information, the Administrative Agent shall send a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit D (a “Designated Borrower Notice”) to the Company and the Lenders specifying the effective date upon
which the Applicant Borrower shall constitute a Designated Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon each of the Lenders agrees to permit such Designated Borrower to receive Revolving Loans hereunder, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and
each of the parties agrees that such Designated Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that no Borrowing Request may be submitted on behalf of such Designated Borrower until the date that is five
(5) Business Days after such effective date. 
 (c) The Obligations of the Company and each Designated Borrower that is a
Domestic Subsidiary shall be joint and several in nature regardless of which Borrower actually borrows Revolving Loans hereunder or the amount of such Revolving Loans borrowed or the manner in which the Administrative Agent or any Lender accounts
for such Revolving Loans on its books and records. The Obligations of all Designated Borrowers that are Foreign Subsidiaries shall be several in nature. 
 (d) Each Subsidiary that is or becomes a Designated Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.23 hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent for all purposes relevant to the Loan Documents,
including (i) the giving and receipt of notices, (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto, and (iii) the receipt of the proceeds of any Revolving
Loans made by the Lenders to any such Designated Borrower hereunder. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all Borrowers, or by each Borrower
acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Company, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein. Any notice, demand, consent, 

  
 -52-









 
acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Designated
Borrower. 
 (e) The Company may from time to time, upon not less than fifteen (15) Business Days’ notice from the
Company to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), terminate a Designated Borrower’s status as such, provided that there are no outstanding Revolving Loans payable
by such Designated Borrower, or other amounts payable by such Designated Borrower on account of any Revolving Loans made to it, as of the effective date of such termination. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such
termination of a Designated Borrower’s status. 
 (f) If the selection of a particular Designated Borrower results (or is
reasonably anticipated to result) in amounts becoming payable under Section 2.17, the Company may make a written request to the Administrative Agent for an amendment to this Agreement that would create a separate tranche of Lenders to
provide credit to such Designated Borrower in a manner that would eliminate or minimize amounts payable under Section 2.17. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to consider such amendment request in good faith. The Company
hereby agrees to pay (or to cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with any such amendment.

 (a) There are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims or disputes pending or, to
the knowledge of the Borrowers after due and diligent investigation, threatened or contemplated, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental Authority, by or against the Company or any Subsidiary or against any of their properties
or revenues that (i) except as described in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K or any subsequent Form 10-Q or Form 8-K filing prior to the Effective Date (the “Disclosed Litigation”), could, either individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) purport to affect or pertain to any Loan Document or the Transactions. 
 (b) The Company and its Subsidiaries conduct in the ordinary course of business a review of the effect of existing Environmental Laws and claims alleging potential liability or responsibility for
violation of any Environmental Law on their respective businesses, operations and properties, and as a result thereof the Borrowers have reasonably concluded that, except for the Disclosed Litigation, violation of such Environmental Laws and claims

in a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) such requirement is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted. Each Borrower is in compliance with all material Contractual Obligations to which such Borrower is a party
or affecting such Borrower or the properties of such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent that failure to comply therewith could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 SECTION 3.09 ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur,
could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did

of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such

(a) Such Foreign Obligor is subject to civil and commercial laws, rules and regulations with respect to its obligations under the Loan
Documents to which it is a party (collectively, the “Applicable Foreign Obligor Documents”), and the execution, delivery and performance by such Foreign Obligor of the Applicable Foreign Obligor Documents constitute and will
constitute private and commercial acts and not public or governmental acts. Neither any Foreign Obligor nor any of its property has any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment
prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Obligor is organized and existing in respect of its obligations under the Applicable Foreign Obligor Documents.

 (b) The Applicable Foreign Obligor Documents are in proper legal form under the laws, rules and regulations of the
jurisdiction in which such Foreign Obligor is organized and existing for the enforcement thereof against such Foreign Obligor under the laws, rules and regulations of such jurisdiction, and to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability, priority

 -56-









 (c) There is no Tax imposed by any Governmental Authority in or of the jurisdiction in
which such Foreign Obligor is organized and existing either (i) on or by virtue of the execution or delivery of the Applicable Foreign Obligor Documents or (ii) on any payment to be made by such Foreign Obligor pursuant to the Applicable
Foreign Obligor Documents, except as has been disclosed to the Administrative Agent.

performance of the Applicable Foreign Obligor Documents executed by such Foreign Obligor are, under applicable foreign exchange control regulations of the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Obligor is organized and existing, not subject to any
notification or authorization except (i) such as have been made or obtained or (ii) such as cannot be made or obtained until a later date (provided that any notification or authorization described in clause (ii) shall be made or
obtained as soon as is reasonably practicable). 
 SECTION 3.13 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans
will be used only for the purposes specified in Section 5.08. 
 SECTION 3.14 OFAC. No Borrower is currently
the subject of any Sanctions or is located, organized or residing in any Designated Jurisdiction. To the Borrowers’ knowledge, no Loan or other credit extension hereunder, nor the proceeds thereof, has been used, directly or indirectly, to lend

The Administrative Agent 
 Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank 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. 
 Any 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 necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02), 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 Subsidiary that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as
provided in Section 10.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 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 any Loan

agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any
condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
 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 Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by
it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 
 The Administrative Agent may 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. 
 Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and
the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent
which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. 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 Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. 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 hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.03 shall
continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

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

Guaranty 

In order to induce the Lenders to extend credit to the Designated Borrowers hereunder, the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the payment when and as due of the Obligations of the Designated Borrowers. The Company further agrees that the due and punctual payment of such Obligations may be extended or renewed, in
whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of any such Obligation. 

The Company waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to any Designated Borrower of any of the Obligations, and also
waives notice of acceptance of its obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of the Company hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or
remedy against any Borrower under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise, (b) any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations, (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or release from, any of the terms or
provisions of any Loan Document or any other agreement, (d) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations, (e) any amendment or waiver of any of the Obligations, (f) any law or
regulation of any jurisdiction or any other event affecting any term of the Obligations, or (g) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any other act, omission or delay to do any other act which may or might in any manner or to any
extent vary the risk of the Company or otherwise operate as a discharge of a guarantor as a matter of law or equity or which would impair or eliminate any right of the Company to subrogation. 

The Company further agrees that its agreement hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (whether or not any bankruptcy or
similar proceeding shall have stayed the accrual or collection of any of the Obligations or operated as a discharge thereof) and not merely of collection, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, waives any right to require that any
resort be had by any Credit Party to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Credit Party in favor of any Borrower or any other Person. 
 The obligations of the Company hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full of all the Obligations),
and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability 

  
 -71-









 
of any of the Obligations, any impossibility in the performance of any of the Obligations or otherwise (other than for the indefeasible payment in full of all the Obligations), in each case, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. 
 The Company further agrees that its obligations hereunder shall continue to
be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Credit Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise.

 In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Credit Party may have at law or in equity
against the Company by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Designated Borrower to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, the Company hereby promises
to and will, upon receipt of written demand by any Credit Party, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to such Credit Party in cash an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such Obligations then due, together with accrued and unpaid interest
thereon. The Company further agrees that if payment in respect of any Obligation shall be due in a Foreign Currency and/or at a place of payment other than New York and if, by reason of any Change in Law, disruption of currency or foreign exchange
markets, war or civil disturbance or other event, payment of such Obligation in such currency or at such place of payment shall be impossible or, in the reasonable judgment of any Credit Party, not consistent with the protection of its rights or
interests, then, at the election of the Administrative Agent, the Company shall make payment of such Obligation in U.S. Dollars (based upon the applicable Exchange Rate in effect on the date of payment) and/or in New York, and shall indemnify the
Credit Parties against any losses or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that it shall sustain as a result of such alternative payment. 
 Upon payment by the Company of any sums as provided above, all rights of the Company against any Designated Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or otherwise shall in all
respects be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of all the Obligations. 
 The
parties hereto agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be require to provide any guarantee, pledge, or asset support arrangement that would result in any adverse
tax consequences due to the application of Section 956 of the Code.

SECTION 10.02 Waivers; Amendments. 
 (a) No failure or delay by any Credit Party 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 Credit Parties 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 Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph
(b) of this Section, and then such 

  
 -73-









 
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a
Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
 (b) Except as provided in Section 2.21 with respect to an Incremental Term Loan Amendment, neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to
an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or by the Borrowers and 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 (it being understood and agreed that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 or of any Default is not considered an increase in Commitments of
any Lender), (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, provided,
however, that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the provisions with respect to the application of default rate interest described in Section 2.13(c) and the last paragraph of Article VII
or waive any obligation of any Borrower to pay interest or fees at such default rate, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder,
or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment (in each case excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, mandatory prepayments under Section 2.11(c)), or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the
written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender,
(v) release the Company from its obligations under the Loan Documents without the written consent of each Lender, or (vi) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision
hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (it being understood that, solely with
the consent of the parties to an Incremental Term Loan Amendment, Incremental Term Loans may be included in the determination of Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Commitments and the Revolving Loans are included on the
Effective Date); provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 10.03
Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 
 (a) The Company shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and
administration of the Loan Documents and any amendments or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable 

  
 -74-









 
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Credit Parties, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for any Administrative Agent and one counsel for all other Credit
Parties, in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with any Loan Document, including their rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such
out-of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. 
 (b) The Company shall indemnify each Credit Party and its Related Parties (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and
all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of
(i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or
any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in
connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Company or any Subsidiary, or
any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Company or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other
theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or intentional material breach of its obligations by, such Indemnitee. This Section 10.03(b) shall
not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. 
 (c) To
the extent that the Company fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount;
provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its
capacity as such. 
 (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower shall assert, and each Borrower hereby waives,
any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement
or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. 

  
 -75-









 (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand
therefor. 
 SECTION 10.04 Successors and Assigns. 

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance
with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank
that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Credit Parties) any legal or equitable right, remedy
or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any
Lender may assign to one or more Persons (other than an Ineligible Assignee) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior
written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: 
 (A) the Company,
provided that, the Company shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof;
provided further that no consent of the Company shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; 

(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an
assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; and 
 (C) the Issuing Bank. 

 

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


(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, or an assignment of
the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of 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 

  
 -76-









 
otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under the Loan Documents; 
 (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; 
 (D) the assignee shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, Withholding Agent and/or Company, as applicable, any documentation required by Section 2.17(f); and 

(E) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire
in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrowers and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made
available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws. 

 

	 	(iii)	Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption
the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent
of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan
Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party thereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under the
Loan Documents that does not comply with this Section 10.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.


  

	 	(iv)	 The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment
and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the
terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent 



  
 -77-










	 	
manifest error, and the Borrowers and the Credit Parties shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 


 

	 	(v)	Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, any documentation required by
Section 2.17(f), 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) of this Section and any written
consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the
assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(c), 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall
have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective
for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 

 (c)
Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), other than an Ineligible
Assignee, in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under the Loan
Documents shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that
such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will
not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 10.02(b) that affects such Participant. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under
Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant
(A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.18 and 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater


  
 -78-









 
payment under Sections 2.15 or 2.17, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to
receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as
though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a
register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant
Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s
interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in
registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the
Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. 
 (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to
secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 SECTION
10.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrowers herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to any Loan Document shall be considered to have been
relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its
behalf and notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the
principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The
provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 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, termination, cash collateralization or other securing of the Letters of Credit, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

SECTION 10.06 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


  
 -79-









 
payable to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative
Agent shall have received counterparts hereof 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 this Agreement by telecopy or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 10.07 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 10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates 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 and in whatever currency denominated) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or
Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any of and all the Obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing 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 this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. 

SECTION 10.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. 

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

(b) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County, Borough of Manhattan and of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out
of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined
in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Credit Party may otherwise have to 

  
 -80-









 
bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

(c) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 
 (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to
this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. 
 (e) Without limiting the foregoing, each
Designated Borrower hereby irrevocably designates the Company, at its address set forth in Section 10.01, as the designee, appointee and agent of such Designated Borrower to receive, for and on behalf of such Designated Borrower, service
of process in such respective jurisdictions in any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 SECTION 10.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY
HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT
BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 
 SECTION 10.11 Headings.

 SECTION 10.12 Confidentiality. 

(a) Each Credit Party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be

such Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from such Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of
Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own

respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such

 Exhibit D
– Page 1 








 EXHIBIT E 
 Mandatory Cost 
  

	1.	The Mandatory Cost (to the extent applicable) is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the
Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank. 


 

	2.	On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Administrative Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the
“Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted
in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum. The Administrative Agent will, at the request of the Company or any Lender, deliver to the Company or such
Lender, as the case may be, a statement setting forth the calculation of any Mandatory Cost. 

  

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

  

	4.	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as follows:


  

	 	(a)	in relation to a sterling Loan: 

  

			
	AB + C(B – D) + E × 0.01	 	  
 per cent, per annum

	100 – (A + C)	 

  

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

  

			
	E × 0.01	 	  
 per cent, per annum

	300	 

 Where: 
  

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

  

	 	B	is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Rate and the Mandatory Cost and, if the Loan is an Unpaid Sum, the additional rate of interest specified in
Section 2.13(c)) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan. 


  
 Exhibit E
– Page 1 









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

  

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


 

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

  

	5.	For the purposes of this Exhibit: 

  

	 	(a)	“Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of
England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England; 

  

	 	(b)	“Facility Office” means the office or offices notified by a Lender to the Administrative Agent in writing on or before the date it becomes a Lender
(or, following that date, by not less than five Business Days’ written notice) as the office or offices through which it will perform its obligations under this Agreement. 


 

	 	(c)	“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the Financial Services Authority Fees Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in
force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits; 

  

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

  

	 	(e)	“Participating Member State” means any member state of the European Union that adopts or has adopted the euro as its lawful currency in accordance with
legislation of the European Union relating to economic and monetary union; 

  

	 	(f)	“Reference Banks” means, in relation to Mandatory Cost, the principal offices in the United Kingdom of each Lender with a Eurocurrency Payment Office
in the United Kingdom; 

  

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


 

	 	(h)	“Unpaid Sum” means any sum due and payable but unpaid by the Company or any Borrower under the Loan Documents. 


 

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


  
 Exhibit E
– Page 2 









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


 

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

  

	 	(a)	the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and 

  

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


Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

  

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


 

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


 

	11.	The Administrative Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for
each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above. 

  

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

  

	13.	 The Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Company and the Lenders, determine and notify to all parties hereto any
amendments which are required to be made

to this Exhibit in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European
Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.
