Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Applicable Agent shall advise each Lender that will make a Loan as part of the requested Borrowing of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the
requested Borrowing. 
 Section 2.4 Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion (and without obligation to do so), make Swingline Loans to the Administrative Borrower and the Canadian Borrowers from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any
time outstanding that will not result in (i) the US Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding US$25,000,000, (ii) the US Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures of
all Lenders exceeding the total Commitments or (iii) the US Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans to the Canadian Borrowers exceeding US$60,000,000; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be
required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Borrower and the Canadian Borrowers may borrow, prepay and
reborrow Swingline Loans. 
 (b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the requesting Borrower, shall
notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the Borrower
requesting such Swingline Loan and the requested date (which shall be a Business Day), Type (which shall be either Alternative Base Rate with respect to the Administrative Borrower or Canadian Prime Rate with respect to the Canadian Borrowers) and
amount of the requested Swingline Loan and other relevant information that would be required under Section 2.3 if the Swingline Loan were a Revolving Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such
notice received from the Administrative Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the applicable Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of such Borrower with the Swingline Lender (or, in the
case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.5(e), by remittance to such Issuing Bank) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. 

(c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent require the applicable Lenders to acquire participations in
all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which the applicable Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice
thereof to each applicable Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each applicable Lender hereby 

  
 30 








 
absolutely and unconditionally agrees, promptly upon receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent (and in any event, (i) if such notice is received by 12:00 noon, New York City time,
on a Business Day no later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time on such Business Day and (ii) if received after 12:00 noon, New York City time, on a Business Day shall mean no later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the immediately succeeding
Business Day), to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each applicable Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the
Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each applicable Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds,
in the same manner as provided in Section 2.6 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.6 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly
pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Administrative Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in
respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Administrative Borrower or any Canadian Borrower, as applicable, (or other party on
behalf of any such Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the
Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such
payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to any such Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a
Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Administrative Borrower or any Canadian Borrower of any default in the payment thereof. 

Section 2.5 Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Administrative
Borrower may request the issuance of, and subject to Section 2.5(b), the Issuing Bank shall issue, Letters of Credit denominated in US Dollars or any Alternative Currency for its own account, or for the account of any other Borrower or
any US Subsidiary, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period; provided that (i) with respect to any Letter of Credit issued for the
account of any US Subsidiary, the Administrative Borrower shall be a co-applicant, and shall be deemed to be jointly and severally liable, with respect to any such Letter of Credit, (ii) any Letters of Credit issued for the account of the
Canadian Borrowers shall be in either US Dollars or Canadian Dollars and (iii) any initial issuance of a Letter of Credit to IDEXX Europe B.V. shall at all times be provided by a Qualifying Lender. In the event of any inconsistency between the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Administrative Borrower to, or entered into by the Administrative Borrower with, the Issuing Bank
relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Effective Date shall be subject to and governed by
the terms and conditions hereof. 

  
 31 








 (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the
issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Administrative Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been
approved by the Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice signed by a Responsible Officer of the Administrative
Borrower requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which
such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit (which, if denominated in US Dollars, shall not be less than US$500,000, and if denominated in an Alternative
Currency, shall not be less than the amount of such currency that is 500,000 units thereof), the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit.
If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued,
amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Administrative Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension (i)(x) the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank at such time plus (y) the aggregate amount of all LC Disbursements made by the Issuing Bank that have not yet been reimbursed by or on
behalf of the Administrative Borrower at such time shall not exceed its Letter of Credit Commitment, (ii) no Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure shall exceed its Commitment and (iii) the US Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate Revolving
Credit Exposure shall not exceed the total Commitments. The Administrative Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, reduce the Letter of Credit Commitment of any Issuing Bank with the consent of such Issuing Bank; provided that the
Administrative Borrower shall not reduce the Letter of Credit Commitment of any Issuing Bank if, after giving effect of such reduction, the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above shall not be satisfied. 

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one
year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date;
provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which in no event shall extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) above). 

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and
without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely 

  
 32 








 
and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and
not reimbursed by the Administrative Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Administrative Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and
agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of
any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Borrower
shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Administrative Borrower shall
have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Administrative Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York
City time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Administrative Borrower receives such notice; provided that if such LC Disbursement is not less than US$100,000, the Administrative Borrower may, subject to the conditions
to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.4 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or ABR Swingline Loan, in an equivalent amount (and if such Letter of Credit is issued in an Alternative
Currency, the US Dollar Equivalent of such amount) and, to the extent so financed, the Administrative Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or ABR Swingline Loan. If
the Administrative Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Administrative Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Administrative Borrower, in the same manner as provided in
Section 2.6 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.7 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 Administrative Borrower 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 an ABR Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Administrative Borrower of its obligation to
reimburse such LC Disbursement. 
 (f) Obligations Absolute. Subject to the provisions of the next sentence, the Administrative
Borrower’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 

  
 33 








 
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 strictly 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 Administrative Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, 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 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
Administrative Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Administrative Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Administrative
Borrower 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 Administrative Borrower 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 Administrative Borrower 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 Administrative Borrower 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 reimbursement is due and payable at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans and such interest shall be due and payable on the date when such
reimbursement is 

  
 34 








 
payable; provided that if the Administrative Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.12(d)
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. Each
Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Administrative Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such
replacement of any Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Administrative Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(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 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 Administrative Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing
greater than 66 and 2/3% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent
and for the benefit of 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 the Administrative Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article
VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Administrative Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control,
including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over 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
Administrative Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Monies 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 Administrative Borrower 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 66 and 2/3% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Administrative
Borrower under this Agreement. If the Administrative 

  
 35 








 
Borrower 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 Administrative Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. 
 Section 2.6
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 in the applicable currency by 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of
the Applicable Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.4. The Applicable Agent will make such Loans available to the
applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of such Borrower, designated by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the
reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.5(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank. 

(b) Unless the Applicable 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 Applicable Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Applicable 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 Applicable Agent, then the applicable Lender and such
Borrower severally agree to pay to the Applicable Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment
to the Applicable Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the rate reasonably determined by the Applicable Agent to be the cost to it of funding such account or (ii) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the
subject Loan. If such Lender pays such amount to the Applicable Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. 

Section 2.7 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, a CDOR Rate Revolving Borrowing or a EURIBOR Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the applicable
Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, a CDOR Rate Revolving Borrowing or a EURIBOR Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods
therefor, all as provided in this Section. A Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans 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, a Borrower shall notify the Applicable Agent of such election by telecopy (or, in the case
of the Administrative Agent, by telephone) by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.3 if such 

  
 36 








 
Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be
irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Administrative
Borrower, on behalf of the applicable Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no Borrower shall be permitted to (i) change the currency of any Borrowing, (ii) elect an Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans, CDOR
Rate Loans or EURIBOR Loans that does not comply with Section 2.2(d) or (iii) convert any Borrowing to a Borrowing of a Type not available to such Borrower pursuant to which such Borrowing was made. 

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.2:

 (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 (A) an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing if in US Dollars or
Alternative Currencies (other than Canadian Dollars and Euros), or (B) a CDOR Rate Borrowing if in Canadian Dollars; and 

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

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, a CDOR Rate Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period,
then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
 (d) Promptly following
receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Applicable Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 

(e) If the applicable Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, a CDOR
Rate Revolving Borrowing or a EURIBOR 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 such Borrowing shall (i) in the
case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing made to a US Borrower or a Canadian Borrower denominated in US Dollars, be converted to an ABR Borrowing, and (ii) in the case of a EURIBOR Borrowing or a CDOR Rate Borrowing or any


  
 37 








 
other Eurocurrency Borrowing, become due and payable on the last day of such Interest Period. 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 Administrative Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing made to a US Borrower or a Canadian
Borrower denominated in US Dollars may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing made to a US Borrower or any Canadian Borrower denominated in US Dollars
shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 Section 2.8 Termination and
Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. 
 (b) The
Administrative Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of US$1,000,000 and not less than
US$10,000,000, in each case for Borrowings denominated in US Dollars and (ii) the Administrative Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with
Section 2.10, the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures of all Lenders would exceed the total Commitments. 
 (c) The
Administrative Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction,
specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the other Agents and the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Administrative
Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by a Responsible Officer of the Administrative Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the
effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Administrative Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination
or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. 

Section 2.9 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the
Applicable Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Borrower on the Maturity Date and (ii) to the Applicable Agent for the account of 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 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least two Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made;
provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding and the proceeds of any such Borrowing shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to repay any Swingline Loan
outstanding. On the Maturity Date, all Loans shall become absolutely due and payable and the Borrowers shall pay all of the Loans outstanding, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. 

  
 38 








 (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 by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and
Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by any
Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. The London Agent or the Toronto Agent, as applicable, shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, promptly after the making of any Loan or Borrowing with respect to
which it is the Applicable Agent or the receipt of any payment of principal or interest with respect to any such Loan or Borrowing, information with respect thereto that will enable the Administrative Agent to maintain the accounts referred to in
the preceding sentence. 
 (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 any Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (b) and the accounts and
records of the Administrative Agent maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. 

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, applicable Borrower 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 10.4) 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 2.10 Prepayment of Loans.
(a) Any Borrower 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. 

(b) The Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the applicable Borrower, shall notify the Applicable Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a
Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by a telecopy notice signed by a Responsible Officer of the Administrative Borrower) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing denominated in US Dollars
or a CDOR Rate Revolving Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing denominated in an Alternative
Currency (other than Canadian Dollars) or a EURIBOR Borrowing, not later than 

  
 39 








 
11:00 a.m., Local Time, four Business Days before the date of prepayment, (iii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, one Business
Day before the date of prepayment or (iv) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date 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 2.8,
then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.8. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Applicable 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 2.2. 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 2.12. 

(c) If, on any date, the US Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposures shall exceed 105% of the aggregate
Commitments as a result of currency fluctuations, then the applicable Borrowers shall, not later than the next Business Day, prepay one or more Borrowings in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. 

(d) If, on any date, the US Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans to the Canadian Borrowers shall
exceed US$63,000,000 as a result of currency fluctuations, then the applicable Canadian Borrowers shall, within three Business Days after such date, prepay one or more Borrowings in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

 Section 2.11 Fees. (a) The Administrative Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, in US Dollars, for the
account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue daily at the rates set forth below (calculated in accordance with the definition of “Applicable Rate” and Section 2.12(h)) on such Lender’s unused Commitment
(provided that, for the purpose of calculating such fee, outstanding Letters of Credit shall constitute usage, but outstanding Swingline Loans shall not constitute usage), 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 Swingline Exposure after its Commitment terminates, then such commitment fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender’s
Swingline Exposure from and including the date on which its Commitment terminates to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Swingline Exposure: 
  

							
	 Pricing Level

 40 








 Accrued commitment 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 commitment fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on
demand. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 

(b) The Administrative Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with
respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans on the average daily 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 with respect to the issuance of each Letter of Credit, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between the Administrative
Borrower and the Issuing Bank on the average daily 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 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 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number
of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 
 (c) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in
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 commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any
circumstances (unless miscalculated). 
 Section 2.12 Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear
interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for ABR Borrowings, and the Loans comprising each Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Canadian Prime Rate Borrowings.


  
 41 








 (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 for Eurocurrency Borrowings, the Loans comprising each CDOR Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at the CDOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing
plus the Applicable Rate for CDOR Rate Borrowings and the Loans comprising each EURIBOR Revolving Borrowing shall bear interest at the EURIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate for EURIBOR Revolving
Borrowings. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by any
Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of
any Loan, 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, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans or Canada Rate Prime 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 or a Canada Prime Rate 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, CDOR Rate Revolving Loan or EURIBOR 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 360 days, except that (i) interest on Borrowings denominated in
Sterling and in Canadian Dollars and (ii) interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or, except in the case of
Borrowings denominated in Sterling, 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate,
EURIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(f) For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of
interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of 360 days or any other period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent are the rates so
determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 360 or such other period of time, respectively. 

(g) If any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents would obligate any Loan Party to make any payment of interest or
other amount payable to the 

  
 42 








 
Lenders in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by the Lenders of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the
Criminal Code (Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provisions, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by
law or so result in a receipt by the Lenders of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (1) firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the Lenders
under this Section 2.12, and (2) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the Lenders which would constitute “interest” for purposes of Section 347 of the
Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if the Lenders shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by that section of the Criminal
Code (Canada), the Loan Parties shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent, to obtain reimbursement from the Lenders in an amount equal to such excess and, pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an
amount payable by the Lenders to the Borrower. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Section 2.12(g) shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of
interest over the term that the applicable Loan remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to
a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the Effective Date to the Maturity Date and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries
appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination. 
 (h) If, as a result of any restatement
of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Administrative Borrower or for any other reason, the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent determines that (i) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as calculated by the
Administrative Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrowers shall immediately and retroactively be
obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for
relief with respect to any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and
fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. The Administrative Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the
repayment of all other Obligations hereunder for the limited period ending on the date that is the later to occur of (x) one year following the date upon which such termination and repayment occurred and (y) two months following the date
upon which the Administrative Borrower’s annual audited financial statements, which include the period during which such termination and repayment occurred, become publicly available. 

Section 2.13 Market Disruption; Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) If, at the time that the Applicable Agent shall seek to
determine the relevant Screen Rate on the Quotation Day for any Interest Period, the applicable Screen Rate shall not be available for such Interest Period and/or 

  
 43 








 
for the applicable currency for any reason and the Applicable Agent shall determine that it is not possible to determine the Interpolated Rate (which conclusion shall be conclusive and binding
absent manifest error), then the LIBO Rate, EURIBO Rate or CDOR Rate, as the case may be, for such Interest Period for the relevant Borrowing shall be the applicable Reference Bank Rate; provided, that if any Reference Bank Rate shall be less
than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement; provided, further, however, that if less than two Reference Banks shall supply a rate to the Applicable Agent for purposes of determining such rate for
such Borrowing, (i) if such Borrowing shall be requested in US Dollars, then such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing, (ii) if such Borrowing shall be requested in Canadian Dollars, then such Borrowing shall be made as a Canadian
Prime Rate Borrowing and (iii) if such Borrowing shall be requested in any other currency, the Reference Bank Rate shall be equal to the cost to each Lender to fund its pro rata share of such Borrowing in such currency (from
whatever source and using whatever methodologies as such Lender may select in its reasonable discretion; such rate, the “COF Rate”). 

(b) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing, a CDOR Rate Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing: 

(i) the Applicable Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the CDOR Rate or the EURIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period (including, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to Section 2.13(a)); or 

(ii) the Applicable Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the LIBO Rate, CDOR Rate or EURIBO Rate, as applicable, for
such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 

then the Applicable Agent shall give notice thereof to the applicable Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter
and, until the Applicable Agent notifies the applicable Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (v) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing in US Dollars or a CDOR Rate Borrowing shall be ineffective, (w) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of
any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing in any Alternative Currency or a EURIBOR Borrowing shall be converted to or continued as, as the case may be, a Revolving Borrowing at the COF Rate, (x) if any Borrowing Request requests a
Eurocurrency Borrowing in US Dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing, (y) if any Borrowing Request requests a CDOR Rate Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing, and (z) if any Borrowing
Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in any Alternative Currency or a EURIBOR Borrowing, then the LIBO Rate or EURIBO Rate, as the case may be, for such Borrowing shall be at the COF Rate; provided that if the circumstances giving rise
to such notice affect less than all Types of Borrowings, then the other Types of Borrowings shall be permitted. 

  
 44 








 Section 2.14 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 or Letters of Credit participated in by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO
Rate or the EURIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; 
 (ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London or European
interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement, Eurocurrency Loans or EURIBOR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or 

(iii) subject any Recipient to Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses
(b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or
capital attributable thereto; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making,
continuing, converting or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan or EURIBOR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or
maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the applicable Borrower will pay to
such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or
reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines (absent manifest error) that any Change in Law regarding capital or
liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s 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 this Agreement 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 and liquidity), then from time to time the applicable Borrower will 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. 
 (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 

  
 45 








 
case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Administrative Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Administrative
Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or 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 the applicable Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs
or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Borrower 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 180-day period referred to above
shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 Section 2.15 Break Funding Payments. In the event of
(a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan, CDOR Rate Loan or EURIBOR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any
Eurocurrency Loan, CDOR Rate Loan or EURIBOR 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, CDOR Rate Loan or EURIBOR Loan on the date
specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan, CDOR Rate Loan or
EURIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the applicable Borrower shall compensate each Lender
for the actual loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, CDOR Rate Loan or EURIBOR Loan, 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, the CDOR Rate or the EURIBO Rate, as applicable (and without reference to the
Applicable Margin) 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 that 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 London or European interbank market. A certificate of any Lender as to any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant
to this Section shall be delivered to the Administrative Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Administrative Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.


  
 46 








 Section 2.16 Taxes. 

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made
without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any
such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding for Indemnified Taxes has been made (including such deductions and
withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Each Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes. 
 (c) Evidence of Payments. As
soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.16, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by
such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, 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. Each Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full
amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient 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. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or
liability and describing the basis for the indemnification claim delivered to such Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. 
 (e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days
after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of
the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.4(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes
attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or
legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the 

  
 47 








 
amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set
off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this
paragraph (e). 
 (f) Status of Lenders. 

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any
Loan Document shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Administrative
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Administrative Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of
such documentation (other than such documentation either (A) set forth in Section 2.16(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below or (B) required by applicable law other than the Code or the taxing authorities of the
jurisdiction pursuant to such applicable law to comply with the requirements for exemption or reduction of withholding tax in that jurisdiction) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or
submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is a US Person, 

(A) any Lender that is a US Person shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to
the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such
Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax; 
 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally
entitled to do so, deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under


  
 48 








 
this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party
(x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the
“interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal
withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 
 (2)

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of
the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of
such Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “US Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed
originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or 
 (4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the

portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a US Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the
Administrative 

  
 49 








 
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding
Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if
such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the
Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative 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 Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply
with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D),
“FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 Each Lender agrees that if any form or
certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(g) 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 2.16 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to
such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including 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 over pursuant to
this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph
shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

  
 50 








 (h) Amendment under FATCA. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under
FATCA, from and after the Effective Date, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and Borrower to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered
obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i). 
 (i) Survival. Each party’s
obligations under this Section 2.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment,
satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 
 (j) Defined Terms. For purposes of this
Section 2.16, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. 

(k) VAT. All amounts payable by any Loan Party to the Agents, the Lenders or the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to be exclusive of any
VAT. If VAT is payable on any amount paid to the Agents, the Lenders or the Issuing Bank by any Loan Party, the Administrative Borrower or such other Loan Party shall pay to the Agents, the Lenders or the Issuing Bank an amount equal to the amount
of the VAT. 
 Section 2.17 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 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 or 2.19 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 Applicable 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 Applicable Agent for the account of the Lenders to such account as the Applicable Agent shall from time to time specify in one or more
notices delivered to the Administrative Borrower, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16,
2.19 and 10.3 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Applicable 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; all other payments
hereunder and under each other Loan Document shall be made in US Dollars. Any payment required to be made by any Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if such Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the
necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by such Agent to make such payment. 

  
 51 








 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by the Agents from any Borrower (or from the
Administrative Borrower as guarantor of the Obligations of such Borrower pursuant to Article IX) and available to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due from such Borrower hereunder, such
funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due from such Borrower 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 from such Borrower 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 the Administrative 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 each Borrower’s 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 an Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower
prior to the date on which any payment is due to such Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, such 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 such 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 Agent, at a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 

  
 52 








 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
2.4(c), 2.5(d) or (e), 2.6(b), 2.17(d) or 10.3(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such 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 the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), in any order as
determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion. 
 Section 2.18 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14 or 2.19 or if any Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 2.16 or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional interest to any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, 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 2.14, 2.16 or 2.19 as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Each
Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14 or 2.19, (ii) if any Borrower is required to pay
any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, (iii) any Loan Party is required to pay any additional interest to any Lender pursuant
to Section 2.19, (iv) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or (v) any Lender ceases to be a Qualifying Lender, then the applicable Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.4), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments
pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that
(x) such Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed,
(y) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded 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 such Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (z) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation
under Section 2.14 or 2.19 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16 or additional interest required pursuant to Section 2.19, 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, within five Business Days after being notified that the applicable Borrower proposes to require a Lender to make such assignment and delegation hereunder, as
a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling such Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 

  
 53 








 Section 2.19 Foreign Subsidiary Costs. (a) Without duplication of any costs
imposed under Section 2.14, if the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining any Loan to any Borrower is increased (or the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) is reduced) by an
amount deemed in good faith by such Lender to be material, due to a Change in Law and by reason of the fact that such Borrower is incorporated in, or conducts business in, a jurisdiction other than the United States of America or Canada, such
Borrower shall indemnify such Lender for such increased cost or reduction within 30 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent). A certificate of such Lender claiming compensation under this paragraph and setting forth
the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder (and the basis for the calculation of such amount or amounts) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 

(b) Each Lender will promptly notify the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge that will
entitle such Lender to additional interest or payments pursuant to paragraph (a) above, but in any event within 45 days after such Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof; provided that (i) if any Lender fails to give such notice
within 45 days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Lender shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section in respect of any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment under this Section for
costs incurred from and after the date 45 days prior to the date that such Lender does give such notice and (ii) each Lender will designate a different applicable lending office, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation will avoid
the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 
 Section 2.20
Redenomination of Certain Alternative Currencies. (a) Each obligation of any party to this Agreement to make a payment denominated in the national currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful
currency after the Effective Date shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance with the EMU Legislation). If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this
Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or
practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any Borrowing in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall
take effect, with respect to such Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period. 
 (b) Each provision of this Agreement shall
be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the London Agent (in consultation with the Administrative Borrower) may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European
Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro. 

  
 54 








 Section 2.21 Designation of US Subsidiary Borrowers and Foreign Borrowers. The
Administrative Borrower may at any time and from time to time designate (a) any US Subsidiary as a US Subsidiary Borrower, or (b) any Foreign Subsidiary as a Foreign Borrower, in each case by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a
Borrower Joinder Agreement executed by such Subsidiary and the Administrative Borrower, and upon such delivery such Subsidiary shall for all purposes of this Agreement be a US Subsidiary Borrower or a Foreign Borrower, as the case may be, and a
party to this Agreement. Any US Subsidiary Borrower and Foreign Borrower shall continue to be a Borrower and a party hereunder until the Administrative Borrower shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent a Borrower Termination
Agreement with respect to such Borrower, whereupon such Borrower shall cease to be a Borrower and a party hereunder. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, (a) no Borrower Joinder Agreement shall become effective as to any US Subsidiary
Borrower or any Foreign Borrower if it shall be unlawful for such Subsidiary to become a Borrower hereunder or for any Lender to make Loans to such Subsidiary as provided herein and (b) no Borrower Termination Agreement will become effective as
to any US Subsidiary Borrower or any Foreign Borrower until all Loans made to such Subsidiary shall have been repaid and all amounts payable by such Subsidiary in respect of interest and/or fees (and, to the extent notified by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, any other amounts payable under this Agreement by such Subsidiary) shall have been paid in full; provided that such Borrower Termination Agreement shall be effective to terminate the right of such Subsidiary to request or
receive further Borrowings under this Agreement. 
 Section 2.22 Increase in Commitments. The Administrative Borrower shall have
the right upon one or more occasions by written notice to the Administrative Agent (a “Commitment Increase Notice”) to request an increase in the aggregate Commitment (the amount of increase requested on any occasion being referred
to herein as the “Increase Amount”), in an aggregate amount of up to US$150,000,000 for all such increases, to a maximum aggregate Commitment of US$1,000,000,000 (less the aggregate amount of any Commitment reductions pursuant to
Section 2.8); provided that at the time of the Commitment Increase Notice and at the time such request would become effective (i) no Default has occurred and is continuing or would exist after giving effect to such increase
in the Commitment, and (ii) the Administrative Borrower will be in pro forma compliance with the covenant in Section 6.7 after giving effect to any funding in connection with such increase in the Commitment. 

The Commitment Increase Notice shall be delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders and shall specify a time period selected by the
Administrative Borrower within which each Lender is requested to respond to such Commitment Increase Notice (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such Commitment Increase Notice to the Lenders). Each
Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, the amount of such increase. Any such Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined
to increase its Commitment. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Administrative Borrower and each Lender of such other Lender’s responses to each request made hereunder. After the expiration of the time period set forth in the Commitment
Increase Notice or receipt by the Administrative Agent of responses to the Commitment Increase Notice from each of the Lenders, then the Administrative Borrower may, to achieve the full amount of the requested increase in the Commitments, invite one
or more other Persons (other than individuals) (an “Additional Lender”) that have agreed to provide all or any portion of the Increase Amount and 

  
 55 








 
that are acceptable to each of the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (it being agreed that any Lender as of the
date of the Commitment Increase Notice would be acceptable) and such Persons may be admitted as a Lender party to this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.4(e). None of the Administrative Agent, Lead Arranger or any
other Lender shall have any obligation or other commitment to provide all or any portion of the Increase Amount. No consent of any Lender (other than any Lender providing a portion of the Increase Amount) shall be required to give effect to the
Increase Amount. 
 Any such increase in the Commitment shall become effective upon written notice by the Administrative Agent (which shall
be promptly delivered by the Administrative Agent) to the Administrative Borrower and the Lenders specifying the effective date of such increase in Commitment, together with a revised Schedule 2.1 stating the new Commitment, and, in respect
thereof, the Commitment of each Additional Lender, the respective continuing Commitment of the other Lenders and the new Revolving Credit Exposure of the Lenders. 

Upon the effective date of the increased Commitment, each Additional Lender shall make all (if any) such payments to the Administrative Agent
for distribution to the other Lenders as may be necessary to result in the respective Revolving Loans held by such Additional Lender and the other Lenders being equal to such applicable Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate principal
amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding as of such date. The Administrative Borrower hereby agrees that any Additional Lender so paying any such amount to the other Lenders pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be entitled to all the rights of
a Lender having Commitments hereunder in respect of such amounts, that such payments to such other Lenders shall thereafter constitute Revolving Loans made by such Additional Lender hereunder and that such Additional Lender may exercise all of its
right of payment with respect to such amounts as fully as if such Additional Lender had initially advanced to the Administrative Borrower directly the amount of such payments. If any such adjustment payments pursuant to the preceding sentences of
this Section 2.22 are made by an Additional Lender to other Lenders at a time other than the end of an Interest Period in the case of all or any portion of Revolving Loans constituting Eurocurrency Loans, CDOR Rate Loans or EURIBOR
Loans, the Administrative Borrower shall pay to each of the Lenders receiving any such payment, at the time that such payment is made pursuant to this Section 2.22, the amount that would be required to be paid by the Administrative
Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15 had such payments been made directly by the Administrative Borrower. 
 Section 2.23
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 unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(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 10.2); provided, that any waiver, amendment or other


  
 56 








 
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 such
non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and (C) the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 are satisfied at such time; provided that if, on any date thereafter during the period in
which such Lender remains a Defaulting Lender, such conditions are satisfied, such reallocation shall occur on such later date; 

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall
within three Business Days 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 Borrowers’ 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 2.5(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

 (iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause
(ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure 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 2.11(a) and Section 2.11(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 letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.11(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 

  
 57 








 (d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) no Swingline Lender shall be required
to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall 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 100%
covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with clause (c) above, and (ii) Swingline Exposure related to any newly made Swingline Loan or LC Exposure
related to 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 Borrowers, Swingline Lender and each 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. 

ARTICLE III.

Transactions are within each Loan Party’s corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and, if required, stockholder action. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party and constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to
general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 
 Section 3.3 Governmental
Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any

any of its Material Subsidiaries in any material respect or the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of the Administrative Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or
result in a default under any indenture, material agreement or other material instrument binding upon the Administrative Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or their assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the

 (b) The Administrative Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks,
tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business, and the use thereof by the Administrative Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such

Section 3.6 Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator
or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened against or affecting the Administrative Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (i) that would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to

 Section 3.7 Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each of the Administrative Borrower
and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure
to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing.

Section 3.10 ERISA and Pensions. (a) 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 not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan by more than
US$12,500,000, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all 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 amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such Plans by more than US$12,500,000. For greater certainty, this subsection does not apply to Canadian Benefit Plans or Canadian Pension Plans.

compliance with and have performed all of their respective obligations under and in respect of the Canadian Pension Plans and Canadian Benefit Plans under the terms thereof, any funding agreements and all applicable laws (including any fiduciary,
funding, investment and administration obligations). All employer and employee payments, contributions or premiums to be remitted, paid to or in respect of each Canadian Pension Plan or Canadian Benefit Plan have been paid in a timely fashion in
accordance with the terms thereof, any funding agreement and 

  
 60 








 
all applicable laws. There have been no improper withdrawals or applications of the assets of the Canadian Pension Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans. Except as set forth on Schedule
3.10(b) and other than routine claims for benefits, there are no outstanding disputes concerning the assets of the Canadian Pension Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans. There has been no partial termination of any Canadian Pension Plan and, to
any Loan Party’s knowledge, no facts or circumstances have occurred or existed which could result in a partial termination of any Canadian Pension Plans. 

Section 3.11 Disclosure. None of the reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of
any Loan Party to any Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of material fact or omits to
state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading; provided that with respect to projected financial information, each Loan Party
represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time. 

Section 3.12 Subsidiaries. As of the date hereof, Schedule 3.12 is a complete list of each of the Administrative
Borrower’s Subsidiaries and such Subsidiary’s jurisdiction of incorporation. 
 Section 3.13 Federal Regulations.
Neither the Administrative Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged or will engage in any activities, nor shall use any portion of the proceeds of the Loans be used for any purpose, which in either case violate or are inconsistent with the
provisions of Regulations U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as now and from time to time hereafter in effect. 

Section 3.14 Sanctions Laws and Regulations. None of the Borrowers, the Subsidiaries or any Affiliates of the Administrative
Borrower or, to any Borrower’s knowledge, any of the directors, officers, brokers or other agents of any of the foregoing entities acting or benefiting in any capacity in connection with this Agreement or any other capital raising transaction
involving any Lender or any Lender’s Affiliates, is a Designated Person. 
 Section 3.15 Anti-Corruption Laws and
Regulations. The Administrative Borrower, its Subsidiaries and, to any Borrower’s knowledge, their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, are in material compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws. No Borrowing or Letter of Credit,
use of proceeds or other transaction contemplated by the Credit Agreement will violate Anti-Corruption Laws.

Administrative Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Administrative Borrower during such period as if such Person or business were disposed of on the first day of such period. For purposes hereof, the Consolidated EBITDA attributable to any such
acquired or disposed Person or business prior to the date of acquisition or disposition thereof shall be determined in a manner consistent with the method for determining Consolidated EBITDA hereunder.

ARTICLE VIII. 
 THE
AGENTS 
 Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Agents as their agents and authorizes the Agent
to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 

Any Person serving as an 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 an Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Administrative Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof
as if it were not an Agent hereunder. 

  
 75 








 The Agents shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Agents shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Agents 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 Agents are 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 10.2), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Agents shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the
failure to disclose, any information relating to the Administrative Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by them or any of their Affiliates in any capacity. The Agents shall not be liable to the Lenders for any
action taken or not taken by them 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 10.2) or in the absence
of their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Administrative Borrower or a Lender, and the Agents shall not
be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other
document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness
of this Agreement, any other 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 such Agent. 
 Each 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. Each 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. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Administrative Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected
by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

Each 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 it. The
London Agent shall have no duties or rights hereunder until the Administrative Borrower provides the London Agent with a Borrowing Request and requests a Borrowing in an Alternative Currency. At such time, the London Agent shall be appointed as an
Agent by the Administrative Agent and the London Agent shall become party to this Agreement as an Agent. Thereafter, the London Agent shall be an Agent hereunder. Each 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 activities as Administrative Agent. 

  
 76 








 Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in this paragraph,
each Agent may resign at any time by notifying the other Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders (in the case of a resignation by the Administrative Agent) or the
Administrative Agent (in the case of a resignation by any other Agent) shall have the right, in consultation with the Administrative Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such
appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York,
or an Affiliate of any such Person. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the
retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Administrative Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the
Administrative Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 Agent. 
 Each Lender
acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and letters of credit and not investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or
holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender shall, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain
material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Administrative Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not
taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a Lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights,
interests and obligations hereunder. 
 The Lead Arranger shall have no duties, responsibilities or obligations to, and no authority to act
for, any other party to this Agreement by virtue of its status as Lead Arranger hereunder. 
 In case of the pendency of any proceeding
under any debtor relief law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, each Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective of whether any Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount
of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letters of Credit and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Lenders, the Issuing Banks and any Agent (including any claim for the 

  
 77 








 
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and any Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due to the Lenders, the
Issuing Banks and any Agent under Sections 2.11 and 10.3) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian,
receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and Issuing Bank to make such payments to any Agent and, in the event that any Agent shall consent to
the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, to pay to any Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to
the Agent under Sections 2.11 and 10.3. 
 ARTICLE IX. 

GUARANTEE 
 In order
to induce the Lenders to extend credit to the other Borrowers hereunder, the Administrative Borrower 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 such other Borrowers. The Administrative Borrower 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 Administrative Borrower waives
presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to any 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 Administrative Borrower hereunder
shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Agent or Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Loan Party under the provisions of this Agreement, any other 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 this Agreement, or any other Loan Document or agreement, (d) any default, failure
or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations or (e) 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 Administrative Borrower 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 Administrative Borrower to subrogation. 

The Administrative Borrower 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 waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Agent or Lender to
any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Agent or Lender in favor of any Borrower or any other Person. 
 The
obligations of the Administrative Borrower 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 owed by the Administrative Borrower
to the Agents, the 

  
 78 








 
Issuing Banks and the Lenders), and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
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 owed by the Administrative Borrower to the Agents, the Issuing Banks and
the Lenders). 
 The Administrative Borrower 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 Agent or Lender 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 Agent or Lender may have at law or in equity against the
Administrative Borrower by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any other 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 Administrative Borrower
hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by any Agent or Lender, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Applicable Agent or Lender in cash an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such Obligations then due, together
with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Administrative Borrower further agrees that if payment in respect of any Obligation shall be due in a currency other than US Dollars 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 Agent
or Lender, not consistent with the protection of its rights or interests, then, at the election of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Borrower shall make payment of such Obligation in US Dollars (based upon the applicable Exchange Rate in
effect on the date of payment) and/or in New York, and shall indemnify each Agent and Lender against any losses or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that it shall sustain as a result of such alternative payment. 

Upon payment by the Administrative Borrower of any sums as provided above, all rights of the Administrative Borrower against any 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 owed by such Borrower to the Agents, the
Issuing Banks and the Lenders. 
 Nothing shall discharge or satisfy the liability of the Administrative Borrower hereunder except the full
performance and payment of the Obligations.

consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Borrower’s or any Agent’s transmission of communications through an Electronic System, except for damages to the extent determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from any Agent Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication,
information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Borrower pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by any Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank by means of electronic
communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Electronic System. 
 Section 10.2 Waivers; Amendments.
(a) No failure or delay by any Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or 

  
 81 








 
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 Agents, the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 

(b) Subject to Section 10.2(c) below, 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 Administrative Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Administrative Borrower 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, (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, (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, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.17(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) change any provisions of Article IX without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) change any of the provisions of
this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders”, “Alternative Currency” 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, (vii) except as otherwise expressly permitted in any Loan Document (including Section 2.21 hereof), release any Borrower from its obligations
under any Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender, or (viii) except as otherwise expressly permitted in any Loan Document (including Section 10.15 hereof), release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary
Guarantors from their respective obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement or limit their liability in respect thereof or their obligation to become a party thereto, without the written consent of each Lender; provided
further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of such Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline
Lender, as the case may be. 
 (c) If the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower acting together identify any ambiguity,
omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement such provision in a
manner that is not adverse to the Lenders to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect, and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. 

  
 82 








 Section 10.3 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Administrative Borrower
shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents and their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agents, in connection with the preparation and administration of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by each 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 out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents, each Issuing Bank
or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agents, each Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights after a Default in connection with this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder after a Default, 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 Administrative Borrower shall indemnify the Agents, each Issuing Bank
and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, 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 this Agreement, any
other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or 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 an 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 Administrative Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries,
or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Administrative Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not such
claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is brought by a Borrower or any other Loan Party or its or their respective equity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other third Person and whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and
regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether commenced by any Borrower or any Related Party of any Borrower or by a third party; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available
to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith breach of
contract or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from claims by one Lender against another Lender which do not involve an act or omission of any Borrower or any Related Party of any Borrower. This Section 10.3(b)
shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. 

  
 83 








 (c) To the extent that the Administrative Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by
it to any Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such 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 such 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, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 (e) All amounts due
under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor. 
 Section 10.4 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 an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that
(i) the Loan Parties may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by a Loan Party without such consent shall be null
and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than
the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the
extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) 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 this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, participations in Letters of Credit 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 Administrative Borrower; provided that the Administrative
Borrower 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; and provided further,
that no consent of the Administrative Borrower shall be required if (I) the assignee is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, and in each case (x) agrees to maintain any Loans to the Canadian Borrowers at its Canadian
Lending Office until any 

  
 84 








 
Event of Default occurs and (y) demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Borrower that it can lend funds denominated in Alternative Currencies without additional
cost to the Borrowers, or (II) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (B) the Administrative Agent; 

(C) the Swingline Lender; and 

(D) each Issuing Bank. 

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, or an assignment of the
entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of 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 US$5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the
Administrative Borrower 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 this Agreement; 

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (x) an Assignment and Assumption
or (y) to the extent applicable, a binding agreement enforceable by the Administrative Borrower incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the
Assignment and Assumption are participants, together with a processing and recordation fee of US$3,500; 
 (D) the assignee
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, withholding agent and/or applicable Borrower, as applicable, any documentation required by Section 2.16(f); 

(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 Administrative Borrower, the other Loan Parties and their related parties or their
respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws; and 

(F) other than assignments to an existing Lender, assignments to Lenders that will acquire a position of the Obligations of
IDEXX Europe B.V. shall only be permitted if the person to whom a position of the Obligations is assigned is a Qualifying Lender at all times. 

  
 85 








 (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 this Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15,
2.16, 2.19 and 10.3). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.4 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 for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Administrative Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and 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, and the Administrative Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Administrative Borrower, 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 (x) Assignment and Assumption or (y) to the extent applicable, a binding
agreement enforceable by the Administrative Borrower incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants), the
assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (ii)(C) of this paragraph (b) and any written consent to such assignment
required by clause (i) of this paragraph (b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the 

  
 86 








 
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 Sections 2.4(c), 2.5(d) or
(e), 2.6(b), 2.17(d) or 10.3(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 the Administrative Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any 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 this Agreement (including all or a portion of
its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance
of such obligations and (C) the Administrative Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to
Section 10.2(b) that affects such Participant. The Administrative Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 2.19 (subject to the requirements and
limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.16(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.16(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender and the Administrative Borrower))
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 (i) such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.17
and Section 2.18 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14, 2.16 or 2.19, with respect
to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any payment that the participating Lender would have been entitled to receive as a result of a Change in Law that occurs
after the Participant acquires the applicable participation, and (iii) the Administrative Borrower has been notified of such participation and all relevant details with respect thereto. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the
Administrative Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Administrative Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.18(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law,
each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.8 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(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 (including the identity of any
Participant or any information 

  
 87 








 
relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except 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. For the avoidance of
doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure
obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, 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. 

(e) On one or more occasions, one or more Additional Lenders may be admitted as Lenders party to this Agreement in connection with an increase
of the total Commitment pursuant to Section 2.22, subject to (i) execution and delivery by any such Additional Lender to the Administrative Agent, for recording in the Register, of an Instrument of Adherence substantially in the
form of Exhibit G hereto (an “Instrument of Adherence”), (ii) acceptance of such Instrument of Adherence by each of the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower by their respective executions thereof, and
(iii) the completion of an Administrative Questionnaire by such Additional Lender promptly delivered to the Administrative Agent. Upon the satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, from and after the effective date specified in each such
Instrument of Adherence, the Additional Lender shall be a Lender party hereto and have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder. 

Section 10.5 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrowers and the Loan Parties herein
and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans 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 Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have
had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder), and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or
any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.12(h), 2.14, 2.15,
2.16, 2.19 and 10.3 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of
the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

  
 88 








 Section 10.6 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.
(a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement,
the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agents or any 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 4.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the
Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof 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. 
 (b) Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, emailed
pdf. 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. The words “execution,” “signed,”
“signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries
or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may
be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the
Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 
 Section 10.7 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 10.8 Right of Setoff. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.18 hereof, 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) 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 any Borrower now or hereafter existing under
this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.18 hereof, 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby
waive and release any lien arising under Article 24 of the general terms and conditions (Algemene Bank Voorwaarden) of any member of the Dutch Bankers’ Association (Nederlandse Vereniging van Banken) (but not its right of setoff)
with respect to the accounts of any Loan Party, but only to the extent that such lien would otherwise secure the obligations of such Loan Party hereunder.

confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being

this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Administrative Borrower relating to the Administrative Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to any Agent, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Administrative Borrower. 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

commercial efforts (if it may legally do so) to provide prior notice of any disclosure of Information pursuant to clauses (b) or (c) above.

ADMINISTRATIVE BORROWER AND EACH AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND
APPLICABLE LAW. 
 Section 10.13 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the
interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the
“Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all
Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall
be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in 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 Lender. 
 Section 10.14 Conversion of Currencies.
(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of
exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment
is given. 
 (b) The obligations of each party hereto in respect of any sum due to any other party hereto or any holder of the obligations
owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement
Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking
procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the
Administrative Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of each party hereto contained in this Section 10.14 shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder. 
 Section 10.15 Releases of Guarantees.
(a) In the event of a disposition of all the Equity Interests in a Subsidiary Guarantor to a Person other than the Administrative Borrower or an Affiliate of the Administrative Borrower in a transaction not prohibited by any covenant contained
in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent is hereby directed and authorized to take 

  
 92 








 
such action and to execute such documents as the Administrative Borrower may reasonably request, at the Administrative Borrower’s sole expense, to evidence or effect the release of the
Guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement. 
 (b) Without limiting the provisions of
Section 10.5, the Administrative Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for all costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees and disbursements, incurred by it in connection with any action contemplated by this
Section 10.15. 
 Section 10.16 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot
Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies each of the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Parties in accordance with the Act. 

Section 10.17 No Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Borrower, on behalf of itself and the Subsidiaries, agrees that in connection
with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Administrative Borrower, the Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agents, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders and their
Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Agents, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to
have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications. 
 Section 10.18 Liability for Obligations.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the parties agree that: (a) the Foreign Subsidiaries shall not be liable for any obligation of the Administrative Borrower or
any US Subsidiary Borrower arising under or with respect to any of the Loan Documents; (b) each Foreign Borrower shall be severally liable only for the obligations of such Foreign Borrower; and (c) no Agent or Lender, or any Affiliate
thereof, may set-off or apply any deposits of a Foreign Subsidiary or any other obligations at the time owing to or for the credit of the account of any Foreign Subsidiary by such Agent, Lender of Affiliate thereof, against any or all of the
obligations of the Administrative Borrower or any US Subsidiary Borrower. 
 Section 10.19 Representation of Dutch Borrower. If
a Borrower, incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands, is represented by an attorney in connection with the signing and/or execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is hereby expressly acknowledged and accepted by the other
parties to this Agreement or any other Loan Document that the existence and extent of the attorney’s authority and the effects of the attorney’s exercise or purported exercise of his authority shall be governed by the laws of the
Netherlands. 
 Section 10.20 Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation. (a) The Loan Parties acknowledge that, pursuant
to the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) and other applicable Canadian anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client” laws (collectively, including
any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Credit Parties may be required to 

  
 93 








 
obtain, verify and record information regarding the Loan Parties, their directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of the Loan Parties,
and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Loan Parties shall promptly provide all such information in their possession, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Credit Parties, or any
prospective assignee or participant of a Credit Party, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence. 

(b) If the Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of any Loan Party or any authorized signatories of any Loan Party for the
purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Administrative Agent: 
 (i) shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for
each Credit Party, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between the Administrative Agent and each other Credit Party within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation; and 

(ii) shall provide to each Credit Party copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or
warranty as to its accuracy or completeness. 
 Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing,
each of the Credit Parties agrees that the Administrative Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of any Loan Party or any authorized signatories of any Loan Party on behalf of any Credit Party, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy
of any information it obtains from any Loan Party or any such authorized signatory in doing so. 
 Section 10.21 Existing Credit
Agreement Amended and Restated. On the Effective Date, (a) this Agreement shall amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety but, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not constitute a novation of the parties’ rights and
obligations thereunder, and (b) the rights and obligations of the parties hereto evidenced by the Existing Credit Agreement shall be evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
