Notice of Borrowing specifies that all or a portion thereof shall be Eurodollar Rate Loans. Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000.00 (or $500,000.00 with respect to Swing Loans)
and shall be allocated pro rata in accordance with each Lender’s Revolving Commitment. 
 (b) Unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any proposed Borrowing that such Lender shall not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Borrowing (or any portion thereof), the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.2 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon
such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally
agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such 

 

 41 







 
amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the
Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing. If such Lender shall repay
to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such corresponding amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent
such corresponding amount, such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have hereunder to the Borrower. 

(c) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan or any payment required by it on the date specified, including any payment in respect of
its participation in Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations, shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such Loan or payment on such date but no such other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Lender to make a
Loan or payment required under this Agreement. 
 Section 2.3 Swing Loans 

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, the Swing Loan Lender may, in its sole discretion, make loans
(each a “Swing Loan”) otherwise available to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Revolving Facility Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at
any time not to exceed $30,000,000.00; provided, however, that, in no event, shall any Swing Loan be made in excess of the Available Credit. Each Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and shall in any event mature no later than the
Revolving Facility Termination Date. Within the limits set forth in the first sentence of this clause (a), amounts of Swing Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this clause (a). 

(b) In order to request a Swing Loan, the Borrower shall telecopy (or, if consented to by the Swing Loan Lender and the Administrative
Agent, forward by electronic mail or similar means) to the Swing Loan Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a duly completed request in substantially the form of Exhibit D (Form of Swing Loan Request) (or shall make such
request by telephone and promptly thereafter forward a written confirmation containing the same information), setting forth the requested amount and date of the Swing Loan (a “Swing Loan Request”), to be received by the Swing Loan
Lender not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day of the proposed borrowing. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Swing Loan Lender shall make a Swing Loan available to the Borrower on the date of the relevant Swing Loan
Request. The Swing Loan Lender shall not make any Swing Loan in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from the Administrative Agent or any Lender that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in
Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) shall not on such date be satisfied, and ending when such conditions are satisfied. The Swing Loan Lender shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take
notice whether, the 
  

 42 







 
conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) have been satisfied in connection with the making of any Swing Loan. 

(c) The Swing Loan Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which writing may be a telecopy or, if agreed to by the
Administrative Agent, electronic mail) weekly, by no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the first Business Day of each week, of the aggregate principal amount of its Swing Loans then outstanding. 

(d) The Swing Loan Lender may demand at any time that each Lender pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swing Loan
Lender, in the manner provided in clause (e) below, such Lender’s Ratable Portion of all or a portion of the outstanding Swing Loans, which demand shall be made through the Administrative Agent, shall be in writing and shall specify
the outstanding principal amount of Swing Loans demanded to be paid. 
 (e) The Administrative Agent shall forward each notice
referred to in clause (c) above and each demand referred to in clause (d) above to each Lender on the day such notice or such demand is received by the Administrative Agent (except that any such notice or demand received by
the Administrative Agent after 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day or any such demand received on a day that is not a Business Day shall not be required to be forwarded to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent until the next
succeeding Business Day), together with a statement prepared by the Administrative Agent specifying the amount of each Lender’s Ratable Portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Loans stated to be outstanding in such notice or
demanded to be paid pursuant to such demand, and, notwithstanding whether or not the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) shall have been satisfied (which conditions
precedent the Lenders hereby irrevocably waive), each Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day next succeeding the date of such Lender’s receipt of such written statement, make available to the Administrative
Agent, in immediately available funds, for the account of the Swing Loan Lender, the amount specified in such statement. Upon such payment by a Lender, such Lender shall, except as provided in clause (f) below, be deemed to have made a
Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall use such funds to repay the Swing Loans to the Swing Loan Lender. To the extent that any Lender fails to make all or part of such payment available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Loan Lender, the Borrower shall repay such Swing Loan on demand. 
 (f) Upon
the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default under Section 9.1(f) (Events of Default), each Lender shall acquire, without recourse or warranty, an undivided participation in each Swing Loan otherwise required to be paid by such Lender
pursuant to clause (e) above, which participation shall be in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Swing Loan, by paying to the Swing Loan Lender on the date on which such Lender would otherwise have
been required to make a payment in respect of such Swing Loan pursuant to clause (e) above, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Portion of

  

 43 







 
such Swing Loan. If all or part of such amount is not in fact made available by such Lender to the Swing Loan Lender on such date, the Swing Loan Lender shall be entitled to recover any such
unpaid amount on demand from such Lender together with interest accrued from such date at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day after such payment was due and thereafter at the rate of interest then applicable to Base Rate Loans for
Revolving Loans. 
 (g) From and after the date on which any Lender (i) is deemed to have made a Revolving Loan pursuant to
clause (e) above with respect to any Swing Loan or (ii) acquires an undivided participation interest in a Swing Loan pursuant to clause (f) above, the Swing Loan Lender shall promptly distribute to such Lender such
Lender’s Ratable Portion of all payments of principal of and interest received by the Swing Loan Lender on account of such Swing Loan other than those received from a Lender pursuant to clause (e) or (f) above.

 Section 2.4 Letters of Credit 

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each Issuer agrees to Issue one or more Letters of Credit at
the request of, and for the account of, the Borrower to support obligations of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, any Joint Ventures or, until the effective time of the Spin, any Person that will be a Subsidiary of the New Borrower upon
completion of the Spin Steps, from time to time on any Business Day during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the date that is 30 days before the Revolving Facility Termination Date; provided, however, that no
Issuer shall Issue any Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any of the following: 
 (i) any order, judgment
or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuer from Issuing such Letter of Credit or any Requirement of Law applicable to such Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such Issuer refrain from, the Issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose
upon such Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuer is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the date of this Agreement or result in any unreimbursed loss, cost or
expense that was not applicable, in effect or known to such Issuer as of the date of this Agreement and that such Issuer in good faith deems material to it; 

(ii) such Issuer shall have received written notice from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower, on or
prior to the requested date of Issuance of such Letter of Credit, that one or more of the applicable conditions contained in Section 3.1 (Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness) (with respect to an Issuance on the Effective Date) or
3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) is not then satisfied or duly waived in accordance with Section 11.1 (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.); 

 

 44 







 (iii) after giving effect to the Issuance of such Letter of Credit, the
aggregate Outstandings would exceed the Revolving Commitments in effect at such time or the amount of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuer would exceed its Letter of Credit Issuer Commitment; 

(iv) any fees due in connection with a requested Issuance have not been paid; 

(v) such Letter of Credit is requested to be issued in a form that is not acceptable to such Issuer, in its sole
discretion exercised in a commercially reasonable manner; or 
 (vi) with respect to any requested Letter of
Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, (A) the Issuer or the Administrative Agent shall not have approved such Issuance or (B) the Issuer receives notice from the Administrative Agent at or before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on
the date of the proposed Issuance of such Letter of Credit that, immediately after giving effect to the Issuance of such Letter of Credit, the sum of the Dollar Equivalent of the Letter of Credit Obligations at such time in respect of each Letter of
Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency would exceed $150,000,000.00 on the date of such proposed Issuance. 
 None of the Lenders (other
than the Issuers in their capacity as such) shall have any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit. The Borrower, the Lenders and the Issuers acknowledge the issuance of the Existing Letters of Credit prior to the Effective Date and agree that such
Existing Letters of Credit are hereby deemed to be Letters of Credit issued hereunder on the Effective Date. 

(b) In no event shall the expiration date of any Letter of Credit be later than the earlier of (i) the date that
is 12 months from the date of Issuance thereof or such later date as the applicable Issuer may agree in its sole discretion and (ii) the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Facility Termination Date or, with the approval of the applicable
Issuer at its discretion, any date that is after the Revolving Facility Termination Date; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit with a fixed term may provide for the auto-renewal thereof for additional periods of not more than
12 months each; provided, further, however, that if any Issuance or renewal occurs during the 12 month period prior to the Revolving Facility Termination Date or the Borrower requests (and the applicable Issuer approves) the
Issuance of a Letter of Credit that expires after the Revolving Facility Termination Date, then on or before the date that is 95 days prior to the Revolving Facility Termination Date (or on the date of such Issuance, if the date of such Issuance is
later than the 95th day prior to the Revolving Facility
Termination Date and the relevant Issuer so consents), the Borrower shall provide cash collateral to the Collateral Agent in an amount equal to 105% of the face amount of each such Letter of Credit that expires after the Revolving Facility
Termination Date (each such Letter of Credit an “Extended Letter of Credit”). On the Revolving Facility Termination Date and if all Obligations have been repaid in full, such Extended Letters of Credit shall for all purposes cease
to be Letters of Credit hereunder and the obligations of the Lenders to 
  

 45 







 
fund their Ratable Portions of such Extended Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (h) below shall be terminated except to the extent that any Letter of Credit has an expiration date
after the Revolving Facility Termination Date and has not been cash collateralized as described above. After the Revolving Facility Termination Date and the repayment in full of all Obligations, the terms for release of such cash collateral shall be
as agreed from time to time between the Borrower and such Issuer; provided that in the absence of such agreement between the Borrower and such Issuer, the terms of this Agreement shall, as between the Borrower and such Issuer, continue to
govern the fees, costs and expenses payable in respect of such Extended Letters of Credit. 
 (c) In connection with the
Issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall give the relevant Issuer at least two Business Days’ (unless the relevant Issuer otherwise agrees) prior written notice, in substantially the form of Exhibit E (Form of Letter of
Credit Request) (or in such other written or electronic form as is acceptable to the Issuer), of the requested Issuance of such Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Request”). Such notice shall be irrevocable on and after the
Issuance of such Letter of Credit (and, prior to such Issuance, may be revoked only with the consent of the Issuer) and shall specify the Issuer of such Letter of Credit, the stated amount of the Letter of Credit requested, the date of Issuance of
such requested Letter of Credit, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which date shall be a Business Day), and the Person for whose benefit the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued. Unless the Issuer otherwise agrees, such
notice, to be effective, must be received by the relevant Issuer not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the second Business Day prior to the requested Issuance of such Letter of Credit. 

(d) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.4, the relevant Issuer shall, on the requested
date, Issue a Letter of Credit on behalf of the Borrower in accordance with such Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. No Issuer shall Issue any Letter of Credit in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives
written notice from the Administrative Agent or any Lender that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) shall not on such date be satisfied, and ending
when such conditions are satisfied. The relevant Issuer shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit)
have been satisfied in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit. 
 (e) If requested by the relevant Issuer,
prior to the first Issuance of a Letter of Credit by such Issuer, and as a condition of such Issuance and of the participation of each Lender in the Letter of Credit Obligations arising with respect thereto, the Borrower shall have delivered to such
Issuer a letter of credit reimbursement agreement, in such form as the Issuer may employ in its ordinary course of business for its own account (a “Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement”), signed by the Borrower, and such other
documents or items as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. 

 

 46 







 (f) Each Issuer shall: 

(i) give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, which
writing may be a telecopy or, if consented to by the Administrative Agent, electronic mail) of the Issuance or renewal of a Letter of Credit issued by it, of all drawings under a Letter of Credit issued by it, the payment (or the failure to pay when
due) by the Borrower of any Reimbursement Obligation and of the cancellation, termination or expiration of any Letter of Credit (of which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender); 

(ii) upon the request of any Lender, furnish to such Lender copies of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement to
which such Issuer is a party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Lender; and 

(iii) no later than five Business Days following the last Business Day of each calendar quarter (commencing with the
calendar quarter ending June 30, 2010), provide to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy to each Lender requesting the same) and the Borrower a schedule of Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting forth the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding at the end of each calendar quarter and any information requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
relating thereto. 
 (g) Effective with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, and
otherwise effective immediately upon the Issuance by an Issuer of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender and each Lender shall be
deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from each Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Revolving Commitments in such
Letter of Credit and the obligations of the Borrower with respect thereto (including all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto) and any security therefor and guaranty pertaining thereto. 

(h) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Issuer
under any Letter of Credit issued for its account in Dollars (or the Dollar Equivalent of such payment if such payment was made in an Alternative Currency) no later than the date (the “Reimbursement Date”) that is the next
succeeding Business Day after the Borrower receives notice from such Issuer (or, if such notice is not received prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York Time) on any Business Day, then no later than 10:00 A.M. (New York Time) on the next succeeding Business
Day) that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit, irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against such Issuer or any other Person. If any Issuer makes any

  

 47 







 
payment under any Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to such Issuer pursuant to this clause (h) or any such payment by the Borrower in respect thereof
is rescinded or set aside for any reason, such Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on demand with interest thereon computed at the rate of interest applicable during such period to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and such Issuer
shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender, of such failure, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer the
amount of such Lender’s Ratable Portion in Dollars (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof if such payment was made in an Alternative Currency) and in immediately available funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies such Lender prior to
11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, such Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in immediately available funds as
set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Upon such payment by a Lender, such Lender shall, except during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default under Section 9.1(f) (Events of Default) and notwithstanding whether or not
the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) shall have been satisfied (which conditions precedent the Lenders hereby irrevocably waive), be deemed to have made a Revolving
Loan to the Borrower in the principal amount of such payment. Whenever any Issuer receives from the Borrower a payment of a Reimbursement Obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Issuer any payment from a
Lender pursuant to this clause (h), such Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Lender in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the
amount of such payment adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the respective amounts the Lenders have paid in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation. 

(i) The Borrower’s obligation to pay each Reimbursement Obligation and the obligations of the Lenders (except as otherwise set forth
in the penultimate sentence of Section 2.4(b)) to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuers with respect to Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, and irrespective of any of the following: 

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;

 (ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of
Credit or any Loan Document; 
 (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the
Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, any Issuer, the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection 
  

 48 







 
with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction; 

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

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuer, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any
other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.4, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s
obligations hereunder. 
 Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if
taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not put such Issuer under any resulting liability to the Borrower or any Lender. In determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit
comply with the terms thereof, the Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any
Letter of Credit, the Issuer may rely exclusively on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether
or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in
order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever. Any noncompliance in
any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in any case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
in this clause (i) shall be deemed to release any Issuer from liability with respect to its gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

(j) If and to the extent any Lender shall not have so made its Ratable Portion of the amount of the payment required by
clause (h) above available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuer, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer forthwith on demand any amount so unpaid together with interest
thereon, for the first Business Day after payment was first due at the Federal Funds Rate, and thereafter until such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate
Loans for Revolving Loans. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuer its Ratable Portion of any such 

 

 49 







 
payment shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of any payment on the date
such payment is to be made, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuer such other Lender’s Ratable Portion of any such payment. 

(k) The Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum stated amount of each Letter of Credit denominated in
an Alternative Currency and each obligation due with respect thereto, and a determination thereof by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Dollar Equivalent of each Reimbursement Obligation with respect to a drawn
Letter of Credit shall be calculated on the date the Issuer pays the draw giving rise to such Reimbursement Obligation. The Administrative Agent shall determine or redetermine the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum stated amount of each Letter of
Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, as applicable, on the date of each Issuance of such Letter of Credit and at any time, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion. The Administrative Agent may determine or redetermine the Dollar
Equivalent of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency at any time upon request of any Lender or Issuer. 

(l) If the Issuer of a Letter of Credit is not the Person acting as Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall furnish the Administrative
Agent with (i) a copy of such Letter of Credit promptly upon the Issuance or renewal of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a copy of any amendment to such Letter of Credit promptly upon the effectiveness of such amendment. 

(m) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Issuer shall be under any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit if
any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of cash collateral, satisfactory to the Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the
Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.20(a)(iv) (Reallocation of Ratable Portions to Reduce Fronting Exposure)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of
Credit then proposed to be Issued or that Letter of Credit and all other Letter of Credit Obligations as to which the Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion. 

Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is Issued (including any such
agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the
International Chamber of Commerce at the time of Issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. 
  

 50 







 Section 2.5 Reduction and Termination of the Revolving
Commitments 
 (a) The Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative
Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portions of the Revolving Commitments; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000.00 and
(ii) each such reduction shall be made ratably in accordance with each Lender’s Revolving Commitment. A notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit
facilities, and if any notice so states it may be revoked by the Borrower by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date specified for the termination of the Revolving Commitments that the refinancing condition has not been met and
the termination is to be revoked (it being understood that any Loans outstanding at the time of such notice or drawn thereafter will, upon such revocation, be continued as Base Rate Loans and, thereafter, may be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans
pursuant to Section 2.11 (Conversion/Continuation Option)). 
 (b) Any reduction of Revolving Commitments pursuant
to Section 2.9(b) Mandatory Prepayments) shall be applied as follows: 
 first, to prepay the
Swing Loans to the full extent thereof and to permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments by the amount of such prepayment; 

second, to prepay the Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof and to further permanently reduce the Revolving
Commitments by the amount of such prepayment; 
 third, to pay outstanding Reimbursement Obligations with
respect to Letters of Credit and to further permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments by the amount of such payment; 

fourth, to cash collateralize Letters of Credit and to further permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments by the
amount of such cash collateralization; and 
 fifth, to further permanently reduce the Revolving
Commitments to the full extent thereof. 
 Section 2.6 Repayment of Loans 

The Borrower promises to repay (in cash, in full and in immediately available funds) the entire unpaid principal amount of the Revolving
Loans and the Swing Loans on the Revolving Facility Termination Date (it being understood that other provisions of this Agreement may require all or part of such Obligations to be repaid earlier). 

 

 51 







 Section 2.7 Evidence of Debt 

(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing Indebtedness of the Borrower to
such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. 

(b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (i) the amount
of each Loan made and, if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable by the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the
Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower, whether such sum constitutes principal or interest (and the type of Loan to which it applies), fees, expenses or other amounts due under the Loan Documents and each Lender’s share thereof, if
applicable. 
 (c) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above
shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, 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 obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms. 

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender requests that the Borrower execute and deliver a promissory note
or notes payable to such Lender in order to evidence the Indebtedness owing to such Lender by the Borrower hereunder, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver a Note or Notes to such Lender evidencing any Loans of such Lender, substantially
in the form of Exhibit B (Form of Promissory Note). 
 Section 2.8 Optional Prepayments

 The Borrower may, at any time, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and Swing Loans in whole or in part;
provided, however, that if any prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan is made by the Borrower other than on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to
Section 2.14(e) (Breakage Costs); provided, further, that each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000.00. Upon the giving of such notice of prepayment, the
principal amount of Loans specified to be prepaid shall become due and payable on the date specified for such prepayment. A notice of prepayment of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and Swing Loans in whole or in part may state that such
notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, and if any notice so states it may be revoked by the Borrower by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date specified for such prepayment that the refinancing
condition has not been met and the notice of such prepayment is to be revoked (it being understood that any Loans outstanding at the time of such notice or drawn thereafter will, upon such revocation, be continued as Base Rate Loans and,

  

 52 







 
thereafter, may be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.11 (Conversion/Continuation Option)). 

Section 2.9 Mandatory Prepayments 

(a) If, at any time, the aggregate principal amount of Outstandings exceeds the Revolving Commitments at such time, the Borrower shall
forthwith prepay the Swing Loans first and then the Revolving Loans then outstanding in an amount equal to such excess. If any such excess remains after repayment in full of the aggregate outstanding Swing Loans and Revolving Loans, the Borrower
shall provide cash collateral for the Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 9.3 (Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit) in an amount equal to 105% of such excess. 

(b) Upon receipt by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any insurance proceeds pursuant to clause (iii) of
the last sentence of Section 7.5 (Maintenance of Insurance) or Net Cash Proceeds pursuant to Section 8.4(i) (Sale of Assets), such amounts shall be applied to reduce Revolving Commitments in accordance with
Section 2.5(b) (Reduction and Termination of the Revolving Commitments). 
 Section 2.10
Interest 
 (a) Rate of Interest. All Loans and the outstanding amount of all other Obligations
shall bear interest, in the case of Loans, on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made and, in the case of such other Obligations, from the date such other Obligations are due and payable until, in all cases, paid in
full, except as otherwise provided in clause (c) below, as follows: 
 (i) if a Base Rate Loan or
such other Obligation, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus (B) the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans; and 

(ii) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Eurodollar Rate for such
Eurodollar Rate Loan determined for the applicable Interest Period plus (B) the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans in effect from time to time during such Interest Period. 

(b) Interest Payments. (i) Interest accrued on each Base Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) on the last Business
Day of each calendar quarter and (B) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan, (ii) interest accrued on each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) on the
last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Loan and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day during such Interest Period occurring every three months from the first day of such Interest Period,
(B) upon the payment or prepayment thereof in full or in part and (C) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Eurodollar Rate Loan and (iii) interest accrued on the amount of all
other Obligations shall be payable on demand from and after the time such Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise). 
  

 53 







 (c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in
clause (a) above or elsewhere herein, effective immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and for as long thereafter as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the interest rate otherwise in effect shall, upon the
election of the Requisite Lenders (except if an Event of Default has occurred under Section 9.1(a) or (f) (Events of Default), in which case such increase shall be immediate) increase 2.00% per annum. 

(d) Additional Reserve Requirements. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to
maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate
Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any
reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Revolving Commitments or the funding of the Eurodollar Rate Loans, such additional costs
(expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Revolving Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which
determination shall be conclusive), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan provided the Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant interest payment date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.

 Section 2.11 Conversion/Continuation Option 

(a) The Borrower may elect (i) at any time on any Business Day to convert Base Rate Loans (other than Swing Loans) or any portion
thereof to Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) at the end of any applicable Interest Period, to convert Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion thereof into Base Rate Loans or to continue such Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion thereof for an
additional Interest Period; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans for each Interest Period must be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000.00. Each conversion or continuation shall be
allocated among the Loans of each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion. Each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit F (Form of Notice of Conversion or Continuation) (a “Notice of
Conversion or Continuation”) and shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) specifying, in each case, (A) the amount and
type of Loan being converted or continued, (B) in the case of a conversion to or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the applicable Interest Period and (C) in the case of a conversion, the date of conversion. 

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation and of the
options selected therein. 
  

 54 







 Notwithstanding the foregoing, no conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate
Loans, and no continuation in whole or in part of Eurodollar Rate Loans upon the expiration of any applicable Interest Period, shall be permitted at any time during which (i) a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing or (ii) the continuation of, or conversion into, a Eurodollar Rate Loan would violate any provision of Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans). If, within the time period required under the terms
of this Section 2.11, the Administrative Agent does not receive a Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the Borrower containing a permitted election to continue any Eurodollar Rate Loans for an additional Interest Period or to
convert any such Loans, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, such Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans. Each Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable. 

Section 2.12 Fees 

(a) Revolving Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (except for
any Defaulting Lender) a commitment fee (the “Revolving Commitment Fee”), accruing at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Commitment of such Lender
exceeds such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the sum of (x) the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans plus (y) the outstanding amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations during the period from the Effective Date until the
Revolving Facility Termination Date, payable in arrears (A) on the third Business Day after the last Business Day of each calendar quarter (commencing with the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2010) and (B) on the Revolving Facility
Termination Date. 
 (b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the following amounts with respect to Letters
of Credit issued by any Issuer: 
 (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Issuer of a Letter of
Credit, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer, an issuance fee of 0.250% per annum (“Fronting Fees”) of the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (in the case of
Letters of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars, based on the Dollar Equivalent of such amount on the last Business Day of such calendar quarter), payable in arrears on the third Business Day after the last Business Day of each
calendar quarter (commencing with the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2010) and (B) on the Revolving Facility Termination Date; 

(ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account and ratable benefit of the Lenders (except for any Defaulting Lender that
has not provided cash collateral satisfactory to the applicable Issuers pursuant to Section 2.4(m) (Letters of Credit)), with respect to each Letter of Credit (but excluding that portion of any Letter of Credit that has been cash
collateralized by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.4(m) (Letters of Credit) as a result of any Defaulting Lender), a fee (the “Letter of Credit Participation Fee”) accruing at a rate per annum equal to
(A) the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans on the daily 
  

 55 







 
maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit if such Letter of Credit is a Financial Letter of Credit and (B) 50% of the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans on
the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit if such Letter of Credit is a Performance Letter of Credit (in either case, in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars, based on the
Dollar Equivalent of such amount on the last Business Day of such calendar quarter), payable in arrears (x) on the third Business Day after the last Business Day of each calendar quarter (commencing with the calendar quarter ending
June 30, 2010) and (y) on the Revolving Facility Termination Date; provided, however, that during the continuance of an Event of Default, such fee shall be increased, upon the election of the Requisite Lenders (except if an
Event of Default has occurred under Section 9.1(a) or (f) (Events of Default), in which case such increase shall be immediate), by 2% per annum and shall be payable on demand; and 

(iii) to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, with respect to the Issuance, amendment or transfer of each Letter of Credit
and each drawing made thereunder, documentary and processing charges in accordance with such Issuer’s standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of Issuance, amendment, transfer or drawing, as the case may be. 

(c) Additional Fees. The Borrower has agreed to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders additional fees, the amount and
dates of payment of which are embodied in the Fee Letters. 
 (d) Payment of Fees to Lenders. The Administrative Agent
hereby agrees to pay to each Lender such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Revolving Commitment Fee and the Letter of Credit Participation Fee, as applicable, received by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, promptly following
receipt of each of the same from (and only to the extent each such fee is received from) the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that (i) the Ratable Portion of any Revolving Commitment Fee shall be calculated without giving
effect to the Revolving Commitment of any Defaulting Lender and (ii) any Letter of Credit Participation Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which neither such Defaulting
Lender nor the Borrower has provided cash collateral satisfactory to the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.4(m) (Letters of Credit) shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to the other Lenders in accordance with
the upward adjustments in their respective Ratable Portions allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.20(a)(iv) (Reallocation of Ratable Portions to Reduce Fronting Exposure), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable
to the Issuer for its own account. 
 Section 2.13 Payments and Computations 

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (including fees and expenses) not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day
when due, in Dollars, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) in immediately available funds without set-off or counterclaim. The Administrative Agent

  

 56 







 
shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees to the Lenders, in accordance with the application of payments
set forth in clauses (e) or (f) below, as applicable, for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices; provided, however, that amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 (Capital
Adequacy), Section 2.16 (Taxes) or Section 2.14(c) (Increased Costs) or (d) (Illegality) shall be paid only to any affected Lender and amounts payable with respect to Swing Loans shall be paid only to the
Swing Loan Lender. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed (in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion) to be received on the next Business Day. 

(b) All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed
(in each case calculated to include the first day but exclude the last day) (i) over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, in the case of interest accruing at the Base Rate when the Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime
Rate, and (ii) over a year of 360 days at all other times. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

(c) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause
payment to be made in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. All repayments of any Loans shall be applied as follows: first, to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and
then, to repay such Loans outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans, with those Eurodollar Rate Loans having earlier expiring Interest Periods being repaid prior to those having later expiring Interest Periods. 

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder
that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption,
cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate, for the first three Business Days, and, thereafter, at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans, for each day
from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent. 

(e) Subject to the provisions of clause (f) below, all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent
from or for the benefit of the Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to pay principal of, and interest on, any portion of the Loans the Administrative Agent may have advanced pursuant to the

  

 57 







 
express provisions of this Agreement on behalf of any Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower, second, to pay all other
Obligations then due and payable, and third, as the Borrower so designates. Payments in respect of Swing Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to the Swing Loan Lender; payments in respect of other Loans received by
the Administrative Agent shall, subject to Section 2.20 (Defaulting Lenders), be distributed to each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Revolving Commitments (calculated (i) in the case of principal
payments, without giving effect to the Revolving Commitments of any Defaulting Lender that has not fully funded its share of the Loans being repaid and (ii) in the case of interest payments, without giving effect to the Revolving Commitments of
any Defaulting Lender for the amount of interest payable in respect of Loans for which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its share of the Loan); and all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation shall be
allocated among such of the Lenders and Issuers as are entitled thereto and, for such payments allocated to the Lenders, in proportion to their respective Ratable Portions as adjusted in accordance with Section 2.12(d) (Payment of Fees to
Lenders) and Section 2.20(a)(iv) (Reallocation of Ratable Portions to Reduce Fronting Exposure). 
 (f) The
Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of the Obligations and any net proceeds of Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and agrees that,
during such time, the Administrative Agent may, and, upon either (A) the written direction of the Requisite Lenders or (B) the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.2 (Remedies), shall apply all payments in
respect of any Obligations and all other proceeds of Collateral in the following order: 
 First, to pay
interest on and then principal of any portion of (i) the Loans that the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower and
(ii) the Reimbursement Obligations owed to any Issuer for which such Issuer has not then been reimbursed by any Lender or the Borrower; 

Second, to pay interest on and then principal of any Swing Loan; 

Third, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities (including fees and expenses in
respect of cash management services) then due to the Administrative Agent; 
 Fourth, to pay Obligations
in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities (including fees and expenses in respect of cash management services) then due to the Lenders and the Issuers; 

 

 58 







 Fifth, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees then due to the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers; 
 Sixth, to pay interest then due and payable in
respect of the Loans (ratably to the aggregate principal amount of such Loans) and Reimbursement Obligations; and 

Seventh, to pay or prepay principal amounts on the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and other Obligations and to
provide cash collateral for outstanding Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts in the manner described in Section 9.3 (Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit), ratably to the aggregate principal amount of such Loans, Reimbursement
Obligations, other Obligations and Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts; 
 provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not
available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any Obligation described in any of clauses first through seventh above, the available funds being applied with respect to any such Obligation (unless otherwise specified in
such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Obligations ratably, based on the proportion of the Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s or Issuer’s interest in the aggregate outstanding Obligations described in such
clauses. The order of priority set forth in clauses first through sixth above may at any time and from time to time be changed by the agreement of the Requisite Lenders without necessity of prior notice to or consent of or
approval by the Borrower, any Secured Party that is not a Lender or Issuer or by any other Person that is not a Lender or Issuer. The order of priority set forth in clauses first through fifth above may be changed only with the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in addition to the Requisite Lenders. 
 Section 2.14 Special
Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans 
 (a) Determination of Interest Rate. The Eurodollar Rate for
each Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate.” The Administrative Agent’s determination shall be
presumed to be correct absent manifest error and shall be binding on the Borrower. 
 (b) Interest Rate Unascertainable,
Inadequate or Unfair. If (i) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurodollar Rate then being determined is to be fixed or
(ii) the Requisite Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period or calendar quarter,
the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Loan, convert into a Base Rate Loan and the obligations
of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower 

 

 59 







 
that the Requisite Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, which notice shall be given promptly following such determination. Thereafter, the
Borrower’s right to request, and the Lenders’ obligations, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be restored. 

(c) Increased Costs. If at any time any Lender or an Issuer determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the
interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order (including any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in determining the Eurodollar Rate) or the compliance by such Lender or such Issuer
with any guideline, request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall (i) have the effect of increasing the cost to such Lender or such Issuer of agreeing to make or
making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (ii) subject any Lender or any Issuer to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or such
Issuer in respect thereof (except for Taxes or Other Taxes indemnifiable pursuant to Section 2.16 (Taxes) or the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings or liabilities
excluded from the definition of Taxes), then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender or such Issuer (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or
such Issuer additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such Issuer for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost shall be, together with supporting documents, submitted to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent by such Lender or such Issuer and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except to the extent, if any, the change (or compliance) referred to in such certificate
shall be retroactive, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender an Issuer pursuant to this clause (c) for any increased costs or reduction incurred more than 180 days prior to the date of such certificate. The Borrower
shall pay such Lender or such Issuer the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after its receipt of the same. 

(d) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any
change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any
Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) the
obligation of such Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and each such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of Eurodollar
Rate Loans and (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans are then outstanding, the Borrower shall immediately convert each such Loan into a Base Rate Loan. If, at any time after a Lender gives notice under this Section 2.14(d),
such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, 

 

 60 







 
and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender. The Borrower’s right to request, and such Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate
Loans shall thereupon be restored. 
 (e) Breakage Costs. In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 2.10 (Interest), the Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon demand, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or
other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loan to the Borrower, but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin or other profit on the relevant Loans) that such Lender may sustain (i) if for any
reason a proposed Borrowing or continuation of, or conversion into, Eurodollar Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the Borrower or in a telephonic request
by it for borrowing or conversion or continuation or a successive Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 2.11 (Conversion/Continuation Option), (ii) if for any reason any Eurodollar Rate
Loan is prepaid by reason of an increase or reduction in Revolving Commitments on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) as a consequence of a required conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan
as a result of any of the events indicated in clause (d) above, (iv) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to repay Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the terms hereof, or (v) as a consequence of the assignment of
any Eurodollar Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17 (Substitution of Lenders) or Section 11.1(c) (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.).
The Lender making demand for such compensation shall deliver to the Borrower concurrently with such demand a written statement as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due
to such Lender, absent manifest error. 
 (f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower
hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.14 shall survive the termination of the Revolving Commitments and the repayment, and the satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations. 

Section 2.15 Capital Adequacy 

If at any time any Lender or any Issuer determines that (a) the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any
law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement regarding capital adequacy, (b) compliance with any such law, treaty, rule, regulation or order or (c) compliance with any guideline or request or
directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuer’s (or any Person controlling such Lender’s
or such Issuer’s) capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuer or Person could have achieved but for such adoption, change, compliance
or interpretation, then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender or such Issuer, the Borrower shall pay to the 

 

 61 







 
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or such Issuer, from time to time as specified by such Lender or such Issuer, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such
Issuer for such reduction. A certificate as to such amounts setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand and a calculation for such amount shall be submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender or such Issuer
and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except to the extent, if any, the change (or compliance) referred to in any such certificate shall be retroactive, the Borrower shall not be
required to compensate a Lender or such Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.15 for any reduction in rates of return with respect to any period prior to the date that is 180 days prior to the date of each such certificate. Without prejudice
to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.15 shall survive the termination of the Revolving Commitments and the repayment, and the satisfaction
or discharge of the Obligations. 
 Section 2.16 Taxes 

(a) All payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent, hereunder or under each Loan Document
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto but excluding in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent
(i) taxes measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized, (ii) any
withholding taxes payable with respect to payments under the Loan Documents under laws (including any statute, treaty or regulation) in effect on the Effective Date (or, in the case of any Lender that became a Lender by assignment or transfer after
the Effective Date, the effective date of such assignment or transfer, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower pursuant to this
Section 2.16) applicable to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be), and (iii) taxes measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it as a result of a present or former connection between such
Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any taxing authority thereof or therein (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as
“Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes and Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent then, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be
increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law, and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made. 

 

 62 







 (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise
or property taxes, charges or similar levies of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or any applicable foreign jurisdiction, and all liabilities with respect thereto, in each case arising from any payment made under any Loan
Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”). 

(c) The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes
(including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 2.16) withheld by the Borrower or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest and
expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 10 days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender
makes demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Administrative Agent, shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. 
 (d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and
obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.16 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving
Commitments and the repayment, and the satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations until 30 days after the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the collection from the relevant Lender or the Administrative Agent of the Taxes and
Other Taxes to which the obligations under this Section 2.16 relate. 
 (e) Prior to the Effective Date in the case
of each Non-U.S. Financial Institution that is a signatory hereto and from time to time thereafter if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, each Non-U.S. Financial Institution shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
with duly completed copies of whichever of the following is applicable: (i) Form W-8ECI (claiming exemption from withholding because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business) (or any successor form), (ii) Form
W-8BEN (claiming exemption from withholding tax under an income tax treaty) (or any successor form), (iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Financial Institution claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, a Form W-8BEN (claiming
exemption from withholding under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form or (iv) any other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS or any other applicable Governmental Authority certifying as to such
Non-U.S. Financial Institution’s entitlement to such exemption from withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Financial Institutions under the Loan Documents. Within a reasonable period following
written request therefor from the Borrower, each Non-U.S. Financial Institution (but only as long as such Non-U.S. Financial Institution is able to do so pursuant to applicable Requirements of Law) shall provide to each of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent such additional Forms W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any successor or other applicable 
  

 63 







 
form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS or any other applicable Governmental Authority) to the extent necessary as a result of any prior form expiring or becoming inaccurate or
obsolete. 
 (f) Each Lender (other than a Non-U.S. Financial Institution) shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and
delivery of the Agreement or, as the case may be, the date such Lender becomes a Lender, provide to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two completed copies of Form W-9, unless such Lender notifies the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent that it is an “exempt recipient,” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.6049-4(c) with respect to which no withholding is required. Each Lender (from time to time following written request therefor from the Borrower, but
only for so long as such Lender is able to do so pursuant to applicable Requirements of Law) will provide to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent additional copies of Form W-9 or notification of “exempt recipient” status (or
any successor or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS) to the extent necessary as a result of any prior form or notification expiring or becoming inaccurate or obsolete. 

(g) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower or the Administrative Agent with the appropriate
form or other document described in clause (e) or (f) above, as applicable (other than if such failure is due to a change in any applicable Requirement of Law occurring after the date on which a form originally was required
to be provided, or if such form is not required under clause (f) above), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under clause (a) or (c) above with respect to Taxes imposed by reason of such failure.

 (h) If any Lender or the Administrative Agent receives a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has
received a payment from or has been indemnified by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16, which refund in solely the good faith judgment of such Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is attributable to such payment
made by the Borrower, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of such receipt and shall, within 30 days after the later of the receipt of a written request by the Borrower or the receipt of such refund (unless such Lender reasonably expects that is
shall be required to repay such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority), pay the amount of such refund to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender and taxes imposed on the Lender or Administrative Agent with respect to
such amounts, without interest thereon and subject to Section 11.6 (Right of Set-off); provided, however, that the Borrower agrees to return such refund to such Lender or the Administrative Agent within 30 days after receipt of written
notice in the event that such Lender or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority. Nothing contained in this Section 2.16 shall require any Lender or the Administrative Agent to make
available to the Borrower any Tax Return or any other document containing information that it deems to be confidential. 
  

 64 







 Section 2.17 Substitution of Lenders 

If (a)(i) any Lender makes a claim under Section 2.14(c) (Increased Costs) or 2.15 (Capital Adequacy),
(ii) it becomes illegal for any Lender to continue to fund or make any Eurodollar Rate Loan and such Lender notifies the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14(d) (Illegality), (iii) the Borrower is required to make any payment
pursuant to Section 2.16 (Taxes) that is attributable to a particular Lender, or (iv) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (b) in the case of clause (a)(i) above, as a consequence of increased costs in respect of
which such claim is made, the effective rate of interest payable to such Lender under this Agreement with respect to its Loans exceeds the effective average rate of interest payable to the Requisite Lenders under this Agreement and (c) in the
case of clauses (a)(i) and (ii) above, Lenders holding at least 75% of the Revolving Commitments are not subject to such increased costs or illegality, payment or proceedings (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”),
the Borrower may substitute another financial institution for such Affected Lender hereunder, upon reasonable prior written notice (which written notice must be given within 90 days following the notification to the Borrower of any applicable event
described in clauses (a)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above) by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender that the Borrower intends to make such substitution, which substitute financial
institution (x) must be an Eligible Assignee and (y) if not already a Lender, must be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and each Issuer; provided, however, that, if more than one Lender claims increased costs,
illegality or right to payment arising from the same act or condition and such claims are received by the Borrower within 30 days of each other, then the Borrower may substitute all, but not (except to the extent the Borrower has already substituted
one of such Affected Lenders before the Borrower’s receipt of the other Affected Lenders’ claim) less than all, Lenders making such claims. If the proposed substitute financial institution or other entity meets the conditions set forth in
clauses (x) and (y) above and the written notice was properly issued under this Section 2.17, the Affected Lender shall sell and the substitute financial institution or other entity shall purchase, at par plus
accrued interest, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents and such substitute financial institution or other entity shall assume and the Affected Lender shall be relieved of its Revolving Commitments and all other
prior unperformed obligations of the Affected Lender under the Loan Documents (other than in respect of any damages (other than exemplary or punitive damages, to the extent permitted by applicable law) in respect of any such unperformed
obligations). If such Affected Lender is a Lender hereunder, upon the effectiveness of such sale, purchase and assumption (that, in any event shall be conditioned upon the payment in full by the Borrower in cash of all fees, unreimbursed costs and
expenses and indemnities accrued and unpaid through such effective date to such Affected Lender), the substitute financial institution or other entity shall become a “Lender” hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement having a
Revolving Commitment, in the amount of such Affected Lender’s Revolving Commitment, assumed by it and such Revolving Commitment of the Affected Lender shall be terminated; provided, however, that all indemnities under the Loan
Documents shall continue in favor of such Affected Lender. If such Affected Lender is a Lender hereunder, it shall execute an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such transfer; provided, however, that the failure of the Affected
Lender to execute such Assignment and Acceptance shall not invalidate such assignment, 
  

 65 







 
and such Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to be executed upon receipt by such Affected Lender of such payment in full. 

Section 2.18 Incremental Revolving Commitments 

(a) The Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request prior to the Revolving Facility Termination Date, one
or more increases to the existing Revolving Commitments (any such increase, the “New Revolving Commitments”), by an amount not in excess of $300,000,000.00 in the aggregate and not less than $25,000,000.00 individually (or such
lesser amount which shall be approved by Administrative Agent). 
 (b) Such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an
“Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the New Revolving Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the
Administrative Agent and (ii) the identity of each Lender or other Person that is an Eligible Assignee (each, a “New Lender”) to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such New Revolving Commitments be allocated and the
amounts of such allocations; provided that the Administrative Agent may elect or decline to arrange such New Revolving Commitments in its sole discretion and any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the New Revolving Commitments
may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Revolving Commitment. 
 (c) Such New Revolving Commitments shall
become effective, as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Revolving Commitments; (ii) the Borrower shall
be in pro forma compliance with each of the covenants set forth in Article V (Financial Covenants) as of the last day of the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter after giving effect to such New Revolving Commitments; (iii) the New
Revolving Commitments shall be effected pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, executed and delivered by the Borrower, the New Lender and the Administrative Agent,
and which shall be recorded in the Register and each New Lender shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 2.16(e) and (f) (Taxes); (iv) the Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to
Section 2.14(e) (Breakage Costs) in connection with the New Revolving Commitments; and (v) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in
connection with any such transaction. 
 (d) On the Increased Amount Date on which New Revolving Commitments are effected,
subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (a) each of the Lenders shall assign to each of the New Lenders, and each of the New Lenders shall purchase from each of the Lenders, at the principal amount thereof (together
with accrued interest), such interests in the Revolving Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans will be held by existing
Lenders and New Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments after giving 
  

 66 







 
effect to the addition of such New Revolving Commitments to the Revolving Commitments, (b) each New Revolving Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Commitment and each Loan
made thereunder (a “New Revolving Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan and (c) each New Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the New Revolving Commitment and all matters relating thereto and all
other matters under this Agreement. 
 (e) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt of
Borrower’s notice of the Increased Amount Date and in respect thereof (y) the New Revolving Commitments and the New Lenders, and (z) in the case of each notice to any Lender, the respective interests in such Lender’s Revolving
Loans, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated by this Section 2.18. 
 (f) The terms and provisions of
the New Revolving Loans shall be identical to the Revolving Loans. Each joinder agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the
opinion of the Administrative Agent to effect the provision of this Section 2.18. 
 Section 2.19 Cash
Collateral 
 (a) Certain Credit Support Events. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender,
promptly (but in any event within five Business Days) after the request of the Administrative Agent, the Issuer or the Swing Loan Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all
Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.20(a)(iv) (Reallocation of Ratable Portions to Reduce Fronting Exposure) and any cash collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). 

(b) Grant of Security Interest. All cash collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be
maintained in blocked deposit accounts at the Collateral Agent (including, in the case of cash collateral provided pursuant to Section 9.3 (Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit), the Cash Collateral Account). To the extent provided by
the Borrower, the Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, the Issuers and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain a
first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such cash collateral may be applied pursuant to clause
(c) below. If at any time the Collateral Agent determines that cash collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Collateral Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such cash collateral is less than
the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly (but in any event within 5 Business Days) after demand by the Collateral Agent, pay or provide to the Collateral
Agent additional cash collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. 
  

 67 







 (c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, cash collateral provided under this Section 2.19 or Section 2.4 (Letters of Credit), 2.3 (Swing Loans), Section 2.5 (Reduction and Termination of the Revolving Commitments), Section 2.9
(Mandatory Prepayments), Section 2.13 (Payments and Computations), Section 2.20 (Defaulting Lenders), or Section 9.3 (Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit) in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Loans shall be
held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific Letter of Credit Obligations, Swing Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to cash collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation)
and other obligations for which such cash collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein. 

(d) Release. Cash collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall
be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following
compliance with Section 11.2(b)(iv) (Assignment and Acceptance)) or (ii) the Collateral Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess cash collateral; provided, however, that (x) cash collateral
furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.19 may be otherwise applied in accordance with
Section 2.13(e) and (f) (Payments and Computations), and (y) the Person providing cash collateral and the Issuer or Swing Loan Lender, as applicable, may agree that cash collateral shall not be released but instead held to
support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations. 
 Section 2.20 Defaulting
Lenders 
 (a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law: 

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or
consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.1 (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.). 

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 2.9 (Mandatory Prepayments) or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative
Agent by the Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.6 (Right of Set-off), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: 

first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;

  

 68 







 second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by
that Defaulting Lender to an Issuer or Swing Loan Lender hereunder; 
 third, if so determined by the
Administrative Agent or requested by an Issuer or the Swing Loan Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Loan or Letter of Credit; 

fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan
in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; 

fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released
in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; 
 sixth, to
the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuers or the Swing Loan Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuer or the Swing Loan Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a
result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; 
 seventh, so
long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that
Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and 
 eighth, to that Defaulting
Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not
fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or Reimbursement Obligations were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) were satisfied or waived,
such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, that
Defaulting Lender. 
 Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are
applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.20(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 (iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any Revolving
Commitment Fee for any period during which 
  

 69 







 
that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and
(y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Participation Fees as provided in Section 2.12(b)(ii) (Letter of Credit Fees). 

(iv) Reallocation of Ratable Portions to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting
Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.3 (Swing Loans) and 2.4 (Letters of
Credit), the “Ratable Portion” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Commitments of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given
effect only if, at the date the Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and
Swing Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Commitments of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstandings of that Lender. 

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Loan Lender and each Issuer agree in writing in
their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any
conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the
Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Ratable Portions (without giving effect to clause
(a)(iv) above), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a
Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party
hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 
 (c) Replacement of Defaulting Lenders. If
any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to be replaced in accordance with Section 2.17 (Substitution of
Lenders).

investigation shall be reasonable based upon the circumstances) of any property currently owned, leased, operated or used by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, if (x) a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
or (y) the Administrative Agent reasonably believes (1) that an occurrence relating to such property is likely to give rise to any Environmental Liabilities and Costs or (2) that a violation of an Environmental Law on or around such

any representation or warranty with respect to such report, and (iii) by delivering such report to Borrower, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender is requiring or recommending the implementation of any suggestions or recommendations
contained in such report. 
 (c) Promptly after a Responsible Officer of the Borrower obtains actual knowledge thereof, the
Borrower shall advise the Administrative Agent in writing and in reasonable detail of (i) any Release or threatened Release of any Contaminants required to be reported by Borrower or its Subsidiaries, to any Governmental Authorities under any
applicable Environmental Laws and which could reasonably be expected to have Environmental Liabilities and Costs in excess of $10,000,000.00, (ii) any and all written communications with respect to any pending or threatened claims under

(d) Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of (i) any proposed acquisition of Stock, assets, or property by
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to expose Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to, or result in, Environmental Liabilities and Costs in excess of $10,000,000.00 and (ii) any proposed action to be taken by
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to commence manufacturing, industrial or other similar operations that could reasonably be expected to subject Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to additional Environmental Laws, that are materially different
from the Environmental Laws applicable to the operations of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Date. 
 (e)
Borrower shall, at its own expense, provide copies of such documents or information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in relation to any matters disclosed pursuant to this Section 7.10.

or affecting any property in order to comply in all material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws and Governmental Authorizations. In the event Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries undertakes any Remedial Action with respect to the
presence, Release or threatened Release of any Contaminants on or affecting any property, Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall conduct and complete such Remedial Action in material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, and in
material accordance with the applicable policies, orders and directives of all relevant Governmental Authorities except when, and only to the extent that, Borrower or any such Subsidiaries’ liability for such presence, handling, storage, use,
disposal, transportation or Release or threatened Release of any Contaminants is being contested in good faith by Borrower or any of such Subsidiaries. In the event Borrower fails to take required actions to address such Release or threatened

  

 96 







 
Release of Contaminants or to address a violation of or liability under Environmental Law, the Administrative Agent may, upon providing the Borrower with 5 Business Days’ prior written
notice, enter the property and, at Borrower’s sole expense, perform whatever action the Administrative Agent reasonably deems prudent to rectify the situation.

(b) may and, at the request of the Requisite Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans, all interest thereon and all other amounts and Obligations payable under this Agreement to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Section 9.1(f) (Events of Default) with respect to the Borrower, (x) the Revolving Commitments of each Lender to make Loans and the

 116 







 
provided, however, that the failure to give such written notice shall not invalidate any such application.

warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith,

otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the Issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume
that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have 
  

 118 







 
received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the Issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel
(who may be counsel for the Borrower or any other Loan Party), 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. 
 Section 10.3 The Agents Individually 

The Person serving as each 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 such Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Persons serving as the Agents hereunder in
such Person’s individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 

Section 10.4 Lender Credit Decision 

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

Section 10.5 Indemnification 

(a) Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Issuer and each of their respective
Affiliates, and each of their respective Related Parties (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), from and against such Lender’s aggregate Ratable Portion (determined at the time such indemnity is made) of any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by,
or asserted against, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Issuer or any of their respective Related Parties in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or such Issuer under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, 
  

 119 







 
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s, Collateral Agent’s or such Issuer’s or such Related Party’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or each Issuer as applicable, promptly upon demand for its ratable share (determined at the time such reimbursement is made)
of any out-of-pocket expenses (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or such Issuer as applicable, in connection with the preparation, execution,
delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to
the extent that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or such Issuer, as applicable, is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower or any other Loan Party. 

(b) To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount
equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender
because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from or reduction of withholding tax ineffective
or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with any all expenses
incurred. 
 Section 10.6 Successor Agents 

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuers and the Borrower. Upon receipt of
any such notice of resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States of America, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an
office in the United States of America. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the
retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the
Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent
shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall
instead be made by or to each Lender and each 
  

 120 







 
Issuer directly, until such time as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment
as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged
from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as
those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article X (The
Administrative Agent and Other Agents) and Sections 11.3 (Costs and Expenses) and 11.4 (Indemnities) shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related
Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 

(b) The Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuers and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any
such notice of resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States of America, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office
in the United States of America. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Collateral Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuers, appoint a successor Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Collateral Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying
Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral
security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuer
directly, until such time as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Collateral Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and
become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower
and such successor. After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article X (The Administrative Agent and Other Agents) and Sections 11.3 (Costs and Expenses)
and 11.4 (Indemnities) 
  

 121 







 
shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Collateral Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of
them while the retiring Collateral Agent was acting as Collateral Agent. 
 Section 10.7 Concerning the Collateral
and the Collateral Documents 
 (a) Each Lender and each Issuer agrees that any action taken by the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, where required by the express terms of this Agreement, a different proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents,
and the exercise by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, where so required, such other proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto, shall be deemed authorized by and shall be binding upon all of the Lenders, Issuers and other Secured Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall have
the sole and exclusive right and authority to (i) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Lenders and the Issuers with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection herewith and with the Collateral Documents,
(ii) execute and deliver each Collateral Document and accept delivery of each such agreement delivered by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) act as collateral agent for the Lenders, the Issuers and the other Secured Parties for
purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens created by such agreements and all other purposes stated therein, (iv) manage, supervise and otherwise deal with the Collateral, (v) take such action as is necessary or
desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interests and Liens created or purported to be created by the Collateral Documents and (vi) except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof or of any other

(i) all of the Collateral, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full of all
Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all other Obligations that the Collateral Agent has been notified in writing are then due and payable (and, in respect of contingent Letter of Credit Obligations, with respect to which cash collateral has been
deposited or a back-up letter of credit has been issued, in either case on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuers); 

(ii) any assets that are subject to a Lien permitted by Section 8.2(b), (d)(ii) or (d)(iii) (Liens,

 122 







 (iii) any Performance Guarantee Collateral; 

(iv) if such sale or disposition is permitted by this Agreement (or permitted pursuant to a waiver or consent of a

 Section 10.8 Collateral Matters Relating to Related
Obligations 
 The benefit of the Loan Documents and of the provisions of this Agreement relating to the
Collateral shall extend to and be available in respect of any Obligation that is otherwise owed to Persons other than the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers (collectively, “Related Obligations”)
solely on the condition and understanding, as among the Collateral Agent and all Secured Parties, that (a) the Related Obligations shall be entitled to the benefit of the Loan Documents and the Collateral to the extent expressly set forth in
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to such extent the Collateral Agent shall hold, and have the right and power to act with respect to, the Collateral Documents and the Collateral on behalf of and as agent for the holders of the Related
Obligations, but the Collateral Agent is otherwise acting solely as agent for the Lenders and the Issuers and shall have no fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Related
Obligations, (b) all matters, acts and omissions relating in any manner to the Collateral Documents, the Collateral, or the omission, creation, perfection, priority, abandonment or release of any Lien, shall be governed solely by the provisions
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and no separate Lien, right, power or remedy shall arise or exist in favor of any Secured Party under any separate instrument or agreement or in respect of any Related Obligation, (c) each Secured
Party shall be bound by all actions taken or omitted, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Requisite Lenders, each of whom shall be entitled to
act at its sole discretion and 
  

 123 







 
exclusively in its own interest given its own Revolving Commitments and its own interest in the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and other Obligations to it arising under this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, without any duty or liability to any other Secured Party or as to any Related Obligation and without regard to whether any Related Obligation remains outstanding or is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral or becomes
unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and (d) no holder of Related Obligations and no other Secured Party (except the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers, to the extent set forth in
this Agreement) shall have any right to be notified of, or to direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under this Agreement or the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of
any Loan Document to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Treasury Management Agreements and Hedging
Contracts unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Secured Party, as the case may be. 

Section 10.9 Other Agents

 ARTICLE XI 

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 11.1 Amendments, Waivers, Etc. 

(a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document nor consent to any departure by any Loan Party
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Requisite Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Requisite Lenders) and, in the case of any amendment, by the Borrower, and then
any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each Lender
directly affected thereby (or the Administrative Agent with the consent thereof), do any of the following: 
 (i)
waive any condition specified in Section 3.1 (Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness) or 3.2(b) (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit), except with respect to a condition based upon another provision hereof, the
waiver of which requires only the concurrence of the Requisite Lenders and, in the case of the conditions specified in Section 3.1 (Conditions 

 

 124 







 
Precedent to Effectiveness), subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 (Determinations of Initial Borrowing Conditions); 

(ii) increase the Revolving Commitment of such Lender;

payment or prepayment thereof); 
 (v) reduce the rate or amount of interest on any Loan outstanding to such
Lender or any Reimbursement Obligations outstanding or any fee payable hereunder to such Lender; provided, however, that only the consent of the Requisite Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay
interest or Letter of Credit Participation Fees at the default rate set forth in Section 2.10(c) (Default Interest) and Section 2.12(b)(ii) (Letter of Credit Fees), respectively; 

(vi) postpone any scheduled date fixed for payment of such interest or fees owing to such Lender;

Security Agreement except in connection with the sale or other disposition of a Guarantor (or all or substantially all of the assets thereof) permitted by this Agreement (or permitted pursuant to a waiver or consent of a transaction otherwise
prohibited by this Agreement); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any Immaterial Guarantor may be released with the consent of the Administrative Agent; or 

(ix) amend Section 10.7(b) (Concerning the Collateral and the Collateral Documents), this
Section 11.1, the sharing provisions of Section 11.7 (Sharing of Payments, Etc.) or either definition of the terms “Requisite Lenders” or “Ratable Portion”; 

 

 125 







 and, provided, further, that (v) no amendment shall be made to this
clause (a) without the prior written consent of each Lender, (w) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by any Special Purpose Vehicle that has been granted an option pursuant to Section 11.2(g)
(Assignments and Participations), affect the grant or nature of such option or the right or duties of such Special Purpose Vehicle hereunder, (x) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative
Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (y) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and
signed by such Issuer, affect the rights or duties of any Issuer under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and (z) each Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties
thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of
all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the Lenders other than Defaulting Lender), except that (x) the Revolving Commitments of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such
Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such
Defaulting Lender. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the written concurrence of any
Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on the
Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 

(c) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring
the consent of all affected Lenders, the consent of Requisite Lenders is obtained but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 11.1(c)
being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, at the Borrower’s request, the Administrative Agent or an Eligible Assignee acceptable to the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but shall have no obligation)
to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent or such Eligible Assignee, all of the
Revolving Commitments and applicable Outstandings of such Non-Consenting Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all applicable Loans held by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto and other
amounts due and payable hereunder through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, and the Assignee shall pay any processing and recordation fee (which fee may be waived or reduced in the
sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); provided, however, that the failure to execute such Assignment and Acceptance by the Non-Consenting Lender shall not invalidate such assignment, and

  

 126 







 
such Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to be executed upon receipt by such Non-Consenting Lender of the proceeds of such sale and acceptance. 

Section 11.2 Assignments and Participations 

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that, except as contemplated by the Spin and in accordance with Section 11.21 (Assumption of New Borrower), no Loan Party may assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an
Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) below, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (d) below or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security
interest subject to the restrictions of clause (f) below (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). 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, Participants to the extent provided in clause (d) below and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b)
Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Loans at the time
owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 
 (i)
Minimum Amounts. (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a
Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and (B) in any case not described in clause (A) above, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder)
or, if the Revolving Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is
delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1,000,000.00 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all
the assigning Lender’s rights 
  

 127 







 
and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Revolving Commitment assigned. 

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause
(b)(i)(B) above and, in addition: (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or
(y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative
Agent within 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof; (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments if such assignment is to a Person that is
not a Lender with a Revolving Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; (C) the consent of each Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment
that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and (D) the consent of the Swing Loan Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) shall be required for any assignment. 
 (iv) Assignment and Acceptance. The parties to each
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.00, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Administrative Questionnaire. 
 (v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the
Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries. 
 (vi) No Assignment to Natural
Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person. 
 (vii) No Assignment to Defaulting
Lenders. No such assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons. 

(viii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting
Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate
amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the
Administrative 
  

 128 







 
Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to
(x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of
all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans in accordance with its Ratable Portion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become
effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) below, from and after the
effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, 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 Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance 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 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans),
11.4 (Indemnities) and 11.5 (Limitation of Liability) with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this
Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 clause (d) below. 

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address
referred to in Section 11.8 (Notice, Etc.) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Commitments of, and principal amounts of
the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information
regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the 

 

 129 







 
Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Revolving Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, Issuer and Swing Loan Lender 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 which would (x) reduce the amount, or postpone any date fixed for any amount (whether of principal, interest or fees) payable to
such Participant under the Loan Documents, to which such Participant would otherwise be entitled under such participation, (y) increase the commitment applicable to such Participant or (z) result in the release of all or substantially all
of the Collateral or releasing any Guarantor that is not an Immaterial Guarantor other than pursuant to an exception described in Section 11.1(a)(viii) (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.). Subject to clause (e) below, the Borrower
agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
clause (b) above. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.6 (Right of Set-off) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 11.7 (Sharing of Payments, Etc.) as though it were a Lender. 
 (e) Limitations upon Participant
Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.14(c) (Increased Costs), 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) and 4.8 (Taxes) than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with
respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be
entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 (Taxes) unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.16(e) and
(f) (Taxes) as though it were a Lender. 
 (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a
security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank; provided that no such pledge or
assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(g) In addition to the other assignment rights provided in this Section 11.2, each Lender may (i) grant to a Special
Purpose Vehicle the option to make 
  

 130 







 
all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder and the exercise of such option by any such Special Purpose Vehicle and the making of Loans pursuant
thereto shall satisfy (once and to the extent that such Loans are made) the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans thereunder, provided, however, that nothing herein shall constitute a commitment or an offer to commit by such a
Special Purpose Vehicle to make Loans hereunder and no such Special Purpose Vehicle shall be liable for any indemnity or other Obligation (other than the making of Loans for which such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have exercised an option, and then
only in accordance with the relevant option agreement), and (ii) assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the
Loans) to (y) any trustee for the benefit of the holders of such Lender’s Securities or any other holder of a Lender’s debt obligations or representative of such holder or (z) to any Special Purpose Vehicle to which such Lender
has granted an option pursuant to clause (i) above, in each case without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; and provided, further, that no such assignment or grant shall release such Lender
from any of its obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in clause (i) above. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial
paper or other senior debt of any such Special Purpose Vehicle, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Special Purpose Vehicle that has been granted an option pursuant to this clause (g) any
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceeding (such agreement shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations). 

(h) Any Issuer may, with, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the prior written consent of the Borrower (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at any time assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any other Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender by an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, such Issuer and such Lender. If any Issuer ceases to be a Lender hereunder by virtue of any assignment made pursuant to this Section 11.2(h), then, as of the effective date of such cessation, such Issuer’s obligations to
Issue Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4 (Letters of Credit) shall terminate and such Issuer shall be an Issuer hereunder only with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit issued prior to such date. 

Section 11.3 Costs and Expenses 

(a) The Borrower agrees upon demand to pay, or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of the Administrative Agent’s reasonable
external audit, appraisal, valuation, filing, document duplication and reproduction and investigation expenses and all of the Administrative Agent’s reasonable out-of-pocket legal expenses and for all other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses of every type and nature (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Administrative Agent’s counsel, Bracewell & Giuliani LLP, local legal counsel, auditors, accountants, appraisers,
printers, insurance and environmental advisors, and other consultants and agents) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any of the following: (i) the Administrative Agent’s audit and investigation of the Borrower and

  

 131 







 
its Subsidiaries in connection with the preparation, negotiation or execution of any Loan Document or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent’s
periodic audits of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (which audit expenses shall be reimbursed only if conducted when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), as the case may be, (ii) the preparation, negotiation, execution or
interpretation of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III (Conditions To Loans And Letters Of Credit), any Loan Document or any proposal letter
or engagement letter issued in connection therewith, or the making of the Loans hereunder, (iii) the creation, perfection or protection of the Liens under any Loan Document (including any reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses for local
counsel in various jurisdictions), (iv) the ongoing administration of this Agreement and the Loans and Letters of Credit, including consultation with attorneys in connection therewith and with respect to the Administrative Agent’s and the
Collateral Agent’s rights and responsibilities hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (v) the protection, collection or enforcement of any Obligation or the enforcement of any Loan Document, (vi) the commencement, defense or
intervention in any court proceeding relating in any way to the Obligations, any Loan Party, any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (vii) the response to, and preparation for, any subpoena or request
for document production with which any Agent is served or deposition or other proceeding in which any Agent is called to testify, in each case, relating in any way to the Obligations, any Loan Party, any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or (viii) any amendment, consent, waiver, assignment, restatement, or supplement to any Loan Document or the preparation, negotiation, and execution of the same; provided, however, that the
Borrower shall not have any obligation under clauses (vi) and (vii) hereunder in connection with any action brought by one Secured Party against another Secured Party (except in its capacity as an Agent, if applicable). The
Borrower also agrees upon demand to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by an Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder. 

(b) The Borrower further agrees to pay or reimburse each Agent and each of the Lenders and Issuers upon demand for all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel and costs of settlement), incurred by such Agent, such Lenders or Issuers in connection with any of the
following: (i) in enforcing any Loan Document or any security therefor or exercising or enforcing any other right or remedy available by reason of an Event of Default, (ii) in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit
arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out” or in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, (iii) in commencing, defending or intervening in any litigation or in filing a petition, complaint, answer, motion or
other pleadings in any legal proceeding relating to the Obligations, any Loan Party, any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries and related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document or (iv) in taking
any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or otherwise) described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have any
obligation under clause (iii)
  

 132 







 
hereunder in connection with any action brought by one Secured Party against another Secured Party (except in its capacity as an Agent, if applicable). 

(c) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower
contained in this Section 11.3 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Commitments and the repayment,
and the satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations. 
 Section 11.4 Indemnities 

(a) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Joint Lead Arranger, each Joint Bookrunner, each Agent, each Lender and each
Issuer and each of their respective Related Parties (including those retained in connection with the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III (Conditions To Loans And Letters Of Credit)) and each
of their respective successors and assigns (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements and
expenses of any kind or nature (including reasonable and customary fees, disbursements and expenses of financial and legal advisors to any such Indemnitee) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in connection
with or arising out of any investigation, litigation or proceeding, whether or not any such Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, whether
direct, indirect, or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or local law or other statutory regulation, securities or commercial law or regulation, or under common law or in equity, or on contract, tort or otherwise, in any manner
relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Obligation, any Letter of Credit or any act, event or transaction related or attendant to any thereof, or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of
Credit or in connection with any investigation of any potential matter covered hereby (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have any obligation under this
Section 11.4 to an Indemnitee with respect to (i) any Indemnified Matter caused by or resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final
non-appealable judgment or order or order of an arbitral tribunal and (ii) any action brought by one Secured Party against another Secured Party (except in its capacity as an Agent, if applicable). Without limiting the foregoing,
“Indemnified Matters” include (i) all Environmental Liabilities and Costs arising from or connected with the past, present or future operations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries involving any property subject to a
Collateral Document, or damage to real or personal property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Contaminants on, upon or into such property or any contiguous real estate, (ii) any costs or
liabilities incurred in connection with any Remedial Action concerning any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Environmental Lien and (iv) any costs or liabilities incurred in
connection with any other matter under any Environmental Law, including the Comprehensive Environmental 
  

 133 







 
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, (49 U.S.C. § 9601 et seq.) and applicable state property transfer laws, whether, with respect to any such matter, such
Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor in interest to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries by virtue of foreclosure, except, with respect to those matters referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, to the extent (x) incurred following foreclosure (or deed in lieu
thereof) by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer, or the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer having become the successor in interest to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and (y) attributable solely to acts of the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer or any agent on behalf of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer. 

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent, each Lender and each Issuer for, and hold each Agent, each Lender and each Issuer harmless
from and against, any and all claims for brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation made against any Agent, any Lender and any Issuer for any broker, finder or consultant with respect to any agreement, arrangement or understanding made by or
on behalf of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

(c) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of service of any complaint or the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to
an Indemnified Matter, such Indemnitee will notify the Borrower in writing of such complaint or of the commencement of such action or proceeding, but failure to so notify the Borrower will relieve the Borrower from the obligation to indemnify such
Indemnitee only if and only to the extent that such failure results in the forfeiture by the Borrower of substantial rights and defenses that actually and materially prejudice the Borrower, and will not in any event relieve the Borrower from any
other obligation or liability that the Borrower may have to any Indemnitee otherwise than in accordance with the provisions hereof. If the Borrower so elects following its acknowledgment of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee or is requested
by such Indemnitee, the Borrower will assume the defense of such action or proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee and the payment of the fees and disbursements of such counsel. In the event,
however, such Indemnitee reasonably determines in its judgment that having common counsel would present such counsel with a conflict of interest or if the defendants in or targets of any such action or proceeding include both an Indemnitee and the
Borrower and such Indemnitee reasonably concludes that there may be legal defenses available to it or other Indemnitees that are different from or in addition to those available to the Borrower, or if the Borrower fails to assume the defense of the
action or proceeding or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in a timely manner, then such Indemnitee may employ separate counsel to represent or defend it in any such action or proceeding and the Borrower will pay the
reasonable and customary fees and disbursements of such counsel; provided, however, that the Borrower will not be required to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel) for such
Indemnitee in any jurisdiction in any single action or proceeding. In any action or proceeding the defense of which the Borrower assumes, 

 

 134 







 
the Indemnitee will have the right to participate in such litigation and to retain its own counsel at such Indemnitee’s own expense. 

(d) The Borrower agrees that any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement (including
pursuant to this Section 11.4) or any other Loan Document shall (i) survive payment in full of the Obligations and (ii) inure to the benefit of any Person that was at any time an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document. 
 Section 11.5 Limitation of Liability 

The Borrower agrees that no Indemnitee shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to any Loan
Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective equity holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in the other Loan Documents, except for direct damages (as opposed to special,
indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings)) determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such
Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees (for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries) not to sue upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive
damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. 
 Section 11.6 Right
of Set-off 
 Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and each
Affiliate of any of them is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other
indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing whether or not such Lender shall have made any
demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and even though such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or its respective Affiliates;
provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. In the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be
paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.20 (Defaulting Lenders) and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other
funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to
such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender under this Section 11.6 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

  

 135 







 Section 11.7 Sharing of Payments, Etc. 

(a) (i) If any Lender obtains any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) of
the Loans owing to it, any interest thereon, fees in respect thereof or amounts due pursuant to Section 11.3 (Costs and Expenses) or 11.4 (Indemnities) (other than payments pursuant to Section 2.14 (Special Provisions
Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans), 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) or 2.16 (Taxes)) in excess of its Ratable Portion of all payments of such Obligations obtained by all the Lenders, except as the result of a refinancing of the Revolving
Commitments, such Lender (each, a “Purchasing Lender”) shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders (each, a “Selling Lender”) such participations in their Loans or other Obligations as shall be necessary to
cause such Purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them. 
 (ii) Except as expressly
provided otherwise with respect to Swing Loans and Defaulting Lenders, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Revolving Commitment Fees, each reduction of
the Revolving Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments (or, if Revolving Commitments shall have
expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans). For purposes of determining the available Revolving Commitments of the Lenders at any time, each outstanding Swing Loan shall be deemed to
have utilized the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders (including those Lenders which shall not have made Swing Loans) pro rata in accordance with such respective Revolving Commitments. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion
of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount. 

(b) If all or any portion of any payment received by a Purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Purchasing Lender, such
purchase from each Selling Lender shall be rescinded and such Selling Lender shall repay to the Purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Selling Lender’s ratable share (according
to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Selling Lender’s required repayment in relation to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the Purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in
respect of the total amount so recovered. 
 (c) The Borrower agrees that any Purchasing Lender so purchasing a participation
from a Selling Lender pursuant to this Section 11.7 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Purchasing Lender
were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
  

 136

 Section 11.9 No Waiver; Remedies 

No failure on the part of any Lender, any Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
remedies provided by law. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the
authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be
instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 9.2 (Remedies) for the benefit of all the Secured Parties; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not
prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent) hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents, (b) the Issuers from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to their respective benefit (solely in their capacity as Issuers) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights

Loan Documents, then (i) the Requisite Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 9.2 (Remedies) and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in
clauses (b), (c) and (d) above and subject to Section 11.7 (Sharing of Payments, Etc.), any Lender may, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as
authorized by the Requisite Lenders. 
  

 138 







 Section 11.10 Binding Effect 

This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each of the parties hereto and when the Administrative Agent
shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. 

Section 11.11 Governing Law 

This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance
with, the law of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions. 
 Section 11.12

 (a) Any legal action or proceeding with respect to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be brought in the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement,
each party hereto hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, except that the Agents, Issuers or Lenders may bring legal action or proceedings in other
appropriate jurisdictions with respect to the enforcement of its rights with respect to the Collateral. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non
conveniens, that any of them may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such respective jurisdictions. 

(b) The Borrower irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing (by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) of copies of such process to J. Ray McDermott Holdings, LLC (at 777 North Eldridge Parkway, Houston, Texas 77079) or the Borrower at its address specified in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.).

 Section 11.15

reference in parenthesis to the title of a section hereof containing such clause, sub-clause or subsection, the reference is only to such clause, sub-clause or subsection and not to the section generally. If a numbered reference to a section hereof
is immediately followed by a reference in parenthesis to a section hereof, the title reference shall govern in case of direct conflict. 

Section 11.16 Execution in Counterparts 

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature
pages are attached to the same document. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. 

Section 11.17 Entire Agreement

executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 

Section 11.18 Confidentiality 

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that
Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners), (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party hereto, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or
under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as
those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any
swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations or (C) any Special Purpose Vehicle that is a grantee of any option described in Section 11.2(g) (Assignments and Participations) or to any pledgee referred
to in Section 11.2(f) (Certain Pledges) or 11.2(g) (Assignments and Participations), (vii) with the consent of the Borrower or (viii) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a
result of a breach of this Section 11.18 or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the New Borrower and its
Subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.18 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to
maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material
non-public information concerning the New Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be and (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information. 

Section 11.19 Judgment Currency 

(a) If, for the purposes of obtaining or enforcing any judgment or award in any court, or for making or filing a claim or proof, it is
necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”), the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of
exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking 
  

 141 







 
procedures, Administrative Agent could purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency in New York, New York on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which any such judgment,
or any relevant part thereof, is given. 
 (b) The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due from it to any Agent or
Lender hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment or award in such Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Agent or Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency such
Agent or Lender may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency; if the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due such Agent or Lender in the Original Currency, the
Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Agent or Lender against such loss, and if the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to such Agent or Lender in the Original
Currency, such Agent or Lender shall remit such excess to the Borrower. 
 Section 11.20
Severability 
 If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith
negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.20, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any
provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or the Swing Loan Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to
be in effect only to the extent not so limited. 
 Section 11.21 Assumption of New Borrower

 (a) The New Borrower hereby expressly confirms that, effective immediately after the effective time of the Spin and
thereafter, it assumes, and hereby agrees to perform and observe and be bound by, each and every one of the covenants, promises, agreements, terms, obligations, duties and liabilities of (i) the Borrower under this Agreement and each other Loan
Document applicable to it as the Borrower and (ii) a Grantor (as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement) under the Pledge and Security Agreement. By virtue of the foregoing, immediately after the effective time of the Spin and thereafter,
the New Borrower hereby accepts and assumes all liability of the Initial Borrower related to each representation, warranty, covenant or obligation made by the Borrower in this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

(b) Immediately after the effective time of the Spin and thereafter, all references to the term “Borrower” in this Agreement or
in any other Loan Document or 
  

 142 







 
in any document or instrument executed and delivered or furnished, or to be executed and delivered or furnished, in connection therewith shall be deemed to be a reference to, and shall include,
the New Borrower. 
 (c) Immediately after the effective time of the Spin and thereafter, all references to the term
“Grantor” in the Security Agreement or in any document or instrument executed and delivered or furnished, or to be executed and delivered or furnished, in connection therewith shall be deemed to be a reference to, and shall include, the
New Borrower. 
 (d) Immediately after the effective time of the Spin, the Initial Borrower shall become a Guarantor and hereby
expressly confirms that, immediately after the effective time of the Spin and thereafter, it assumes, and hereby agrees to perform and observe and be bound by, each and every one of the covenants, promises, agreements, terms, obligations, duties and
liabilities of a Guarantor under the Pledge and Security Agreement. 
 (e) Substantially simultaneously with, and in no event
later than five Business Days (or such longer period of time permitted by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) after, the effectiveness of the Spin in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the New Borrower shall become the
Borrower hereunder, the Initial Borrower and each Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the New Borrower that has satisfied the Threshold Amount and is not a Restricted Subsidiary or already a Guarantor shall become Guarantors and shall: (i) deliver to
the Administrative Agent (A) a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent executed and delivered by the New Borrower, the Initial Borrower and the Administrative Agent with respect to the New
Borrower becoming the Borrower hereunder, (B) a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent executed and delivered by the Initial Borrower and each Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the New Borrower that
has satisfied the Threshold Amount and is not a Restricted Subsidiary or already a Guarantor, and the Administrative Agent with respect to such Persons becoming Guarantors; and (C) a reaffirmation agreement from each Guarantor reaffirming such
Person’s obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party and (ii) deliver to the Administrative Agent documents of the types referred to in Section 7.11 (Additional Collateral and Guaranties) and, without the
request of the Administrative Agent, legal opinions related the New Borrower in form and substance, and from counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

FORM OF GLOBAL INTERCOMPANY NOTE 

New York, New York 

May [    ], 2010 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, J. Ray McDermott, S.A., a Panamanian corporation (the “Initial Borrower and until the effective time of
the Spin, the “Borrower”), McDermott International, Inc., a Panamanian corporation (the “New Borrower” and immediately after the effective time of the Spin and thereafter, the “Borrower”), and each
of the Borrower’s Restricted Subsidiaries which is a party (each, a “Payor”) to this Global Intercompany Note (this “Intercompany Note”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay on demand to the order of the
Initial Borrower, the New Borrower and each of their Affiliates which is a party to this Intercompany Note as a payee (each, a “Payee”) at such place as such Payee may direct in writing, the principal amount of this Intercompany
Note, determined as described below, together with interest thereon at the rate per annum as shall be agreed upon from time to time by any Payor and any Payee. 

This Intercompany Note is the Global Intercompany Note referred to in the Credit Agreement dated May 3, 2010 (as amended, restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among the Initial Borrower, the New Borrower, the Lenders, the Issuers, and Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, as joint lead arranger,
joint bookrunner, administrative agent for the Lenders and the Issuers (in such capacity, and together with its successors, the “Administrative Agent”) and collateral agent for the Lenders and the Issuers (in such capacity, and
together with its successors, the “Collateral Agent”). Terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement. 

Each Payee by accepting or executing this Intercompany Note agrees that the indebtedness evidenced by this Intercompany Note is
subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of all Obligations and that such subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent under the Pledge and
Security Agreement. Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of the Borrower to creditors upon a total or partial liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of the Borrower or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or
similar proceeding relating to the Borrower or its property, (i) the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of the Obligations before any
Payee shall be entitled to receive any payment hereunder, and (ii) until the Obligations are paid in full in cash, any payment or distribution to which any Payee would be entitled but for this paragraph shall be made in lawful money of the
United States of America and in immediately available funds, to holders of the Obligations as their interests may appear. 

No Payor (other than, until the effective time of the Spin, the New Borrower) may pay the principal of or interest on this Intercompany
Note at any time that an Event of Default 
  

 G-1 







 
under clauses (a), (b) or (f) of Section 8.01 of the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing unless the Payee is the Borrower or a Guarantor. Except as contemplated
by the Spin Steps, no Payor that is the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may pay the principal of or interest on this Intercompany Note (1) to, until the effective time of the Spin, the New Borrower or (2) to any Affiliate of
the New Borrower (other than the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) in violation of Section 8.5(e) of the Credit Agreement. If any payment or distribution is made to any Payee that because of this paragraph should not have been made to it or
which such Payee is otherwise not entitled to retain under the provisions of this paragraph, such Payee shall hold it in trust for holders of the Obligations and pay it over to the Collateral Agent on their behalf as their interests may appear.

 The aggregate principal amount of this Intercompany Note at any time shall be equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount
of all loans and extensions of credit to any Payor by any Payee, as adjusted on a regular basis to reflect any payments made by any Payor in respect of the principal of this Intercompany Note, any additional advances to any Payor from any Payee or
any accrued interest which is added to the principal amount hereof in accordance with the terms hereof, in each case, as reflected on the books and records of the applicable Payee. Subject to the third and fourth paragraphs of this Intercompany Note
(the “Subordination Provision”), Loans hereunder may be prepaid at the option of the Payor. Principal not paid or prepaid pursuant to the terms hereof shall be payable on the date that is one year after the Revolving Facility
Termination Date (the “Maturity Date”). 
 Subject to the Subordination Provision, payments of interest, if
any, on this Intercompany Note shall be payable in the manner separately agreed by the Payor and the Payee. 
 Subject to the
Subordination Provisions, this Intercompany Note shall also be payable in full or in part pursuant to a written demand to a Payor (a “Demand”) from a Payee or, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent,
at which time the Payor shall make all payments of the amounts so demanded to the account designated in the Demand on the date specified in the Demand. Following delivery of a Demand, all payments shall be made in accordance with instructions in the
Demand. If payment hereunder is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for such payment shall be the immediately succeeding Business Day. 

The obligations of each Payor under this Note shall be absolute and each Payor hereby irrevocably waives any right (whether arising by
operation of law or otherwise) to any setoff, counterclaim or reduction of its obligations with respect to any amounts payable under this Intercompany Note based on any claims that such Payor has against each Payee, its affiliates or any other
person. 
 Each Payor hereby waives presentment for payment, demands, notice of dishonor and protest of this Intercompany Note
and further agrees that none of its terms or provisions may be waived, altered, modified or amended except as each Payee may consent in a writing duly signed for and on its behalf. No failure or delay on the part of any Payee in exercising any of
its rights, powers or privileges hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege.

  

 G-2 







 
The remedies provided herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 

Each Payor also agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by each Payee or its
successors and assigns in enforcing this Intercompany Note. 
 This Intercompany Note is binding upon each Payor and its
successors and assigns and is for the benefit of each Payee and its successors and assigns, except that the Payor may not assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations under this Intercompany Note except in connection with a transaction
permitted by the Credit Agreement. Each Payor hereby acknowledges and consents to the assignment by each Payee that is a Grantor (as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement) to the Collateral Agent of all of its right, title and interest in
this Intercompany Note and all collateral security therefor in accordance with the Pledge and Security Agreement. 
 Each Payor
and each Payee, by its acceptance hereof, agree for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent not to amend, modify or terminate the provisions of, or assign any of their respective rights or obligations under, this
Intercompany Note without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent as long as any amounts are payable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders or the Issuers under the Loan Documents.

 EACH PAYOR AND EACH PAYEE HEREBY (A) AGREES THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS INTERCOMPANY
NOTE MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY OR OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS INTERCOMPANY NOTE, EACH PAYOR AND EACH PAYEE
HEREBY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS AND (B) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE
GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, THAT ANY OF THEM MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH RESPECTIVE JURISDICTIONS. EACH PAYOR AND EACH PAYEE FURTHER WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INTERCOMPANY NOTE ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. EACH PAYOR AND EACH PAYEE IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE
SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING (BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID) OF COPIES OF SUCH PROCESS TO J. RAY MCDERMOTT, S.A. (AT 757 NORTH ELDRIDGE PARKWAY, HOUSTON, TEXAS 77079). EACH PAYOR
AND EACH PAYEE AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR 
  

 G-3 







 
PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE COLLATERAL AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY PAYOR OR ANY PAYEE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY PAYOR
OR ANY PAYEE HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER FROM SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OF A JUDGMENT, EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE),
SUCH PAYOR OR PAYEE (AS THE CASE MAY BE) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER. 

All payments made under this Intercompany Note to holders of the Obligations shall be made in Dollars, and, if for any reason any payment
made hereunder is made in a currency other than Dollars (the “Other Currency”), then to the extent that the payment actually received by any Payee when converted into Dollars at the Rate of Exchange (as defined below) on the date of
payment (or as soon thereafter as it is practicable for such Payee to purchase Dollars, or, in the case of the liquidation, insolvency, bankruptcy or analogous process of the applicable Payor, at the Rate of Exchange on the latest date permitted by
applicable law for the determination of liabilities in such liquidation, insolvency, bankruptcy or analogous process) falls short of the amount due hereunder, such Payor shall, as a separate and independent obligation of such Payor, indemnify such
Payee and hold such Payee harmless against the amount of such shortfall. As used in this Intercompany Note, the term “Rate of Exchange” means the rate at which the applicable Payee is able on the relevant date to purchase Dollars
with the Other Currency and shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, Dollars. 

This Intercompany Note amends and restates (but does not novate or extinguish) that certain Global Intercompany Note dated as of
June 6, 2006, among certain of the Payees and Payors. 
 THIS INTERCOMPANY NOTE AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF
THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS.

WHEREAS, [NAME OF GRANTOR], a [Type of Person] (“Tenant”), has possession of and occupies all or a
portion of the property described on Exhibit A hereto (the “Premises”); 
 WHEREAS, Tenant’s
interest in the Premises arises under the lease agreement (the “Lease”) more particularly described on Exhibit B hereto, pursuant to which Landlord has rights, upon the terms and conditions set forth therein, to take
possession of, and otherwise assert control over, the Premises; 
 WHEREAS, reference is made to the Credit Agreement
dated May 3, 2010 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed in the Credit Agreement) among J.
Ray McDermott, S.A., a Panamanian corporation, McDermott International, Inc., a Panamanian corporation, the Lenders, the Issuers and Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank as administrative agent for the Lenders and the Issuers and
collateral agent for the Lenders and the Issuers, pursuant to which Tenant has executed a security 
  

 I-1 







 
agreement and certain other mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt and assignments of rents and leases, and other collateral documents, as applicable, in connection with the Credit
Agreement; 
 WHEREAS, Borrower’s repayment of the extensions of credit made by the Secured Parties arising under
the Credit Agreement and other obligations of Tenant as contemplated by the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, will be secured, in part, by all Inventory (as defined in the UCC) of Tenant (including all Inventory of Tenant now or
hereafter located on the Premises (the “Collateral”)); and 
 WHEREAS, Agent has requested that Landlord
execute this Agreement as a condition to the extension of credit to Borrower under the Credit Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, Agent as follows:

 1. Landlord hereby (a) waives and releases unto Agent and its successors and assigns any and all rights granted by or
under any present or future laws to levy or distraint for rent or any other charges which may be due to Landlord against the Collateral, and any and all other claims, liens and demands of every kind which it now has or may hereafter have against the
Collateral, and (b) agrees that any rights it may have in or to the Collateral, no matter how arising (to the extent not effectively waived pursuant to clause (a) of this paragraph 1), shall be second and subordinate to the rights of Agent
in respect thereof. Landlord acknowledges that the Collateral is and will remain personal property and not fixtures even though it may be affixed to or placed on the Premises. 

2. Landlord certifies that (a) Landlord is the landlord under the Lease, (b) the Lease is in full force and effect and has not
been amended, modified, or supplemented except as set forth on Exhibit B hereto, (c) to the knowledge of Landlord, there is no defense, offset, claim or counterclaim by or in favor of Landlord against Tenant under the Lease or against
the obligations of Landlord under the Lease, (d) no notice of default has been given under or in connection with the Lease which has not been cured, and Landlord has no knowledge of the occurrence of any other default under or in connection
with the Lease, and (e) except as disclosed to Agent, no portion of the Premises is encumbered in any way by any deed of trust or mortgage lien or ground or superior lease. 

3. Landlord consents to the installation or placement of the Collateral on the Premises, and Landlord grants to Agent a license to enter
upon and into the Premises to do any or all of the following with respect to the Collateral: assemble, have appraised, display, remove, maintain, prepare for sale or lease, repair, transfer, or sell (at public or private sale). In entering upon or
into the Premises, Agent hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, judgments, liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by Landlord caused solely by Agent’s entering upon or into the
Premises and taking any of the foregoing actions with respect to the Collateral. Such costs shall include any damage to the Premises made by Agent in severing and/or removing the Collateral therefrom. 

 

 I-2 







 4. Landlord agrees that it will not prevent Agent or its designee from entering upon the
Premises at all reasonable times to inspect or remove the Collateral. In the event that Landlord has the right to, and desires to, obtain possession of the Premises (either through expiration of the Lease or termination thereof due to the default of
Tenant thereunder), Landlord will deliver notice (the “Landlord’s Notice”) to Agent to that effect. Within the 45 day period after Agent receives the Landlord’s Notice, Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to cause the Collateral to be removed from the Premises. During such 45 day period, Landlord will not remove the Collateral from the Premises nor interfere with Agent’s actions in removing the Collateral from the Premises or Agent’s
actions in otherwise enforcing its security interest in the Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, Agent shall at no time have any obligation to remove the Collateral from the Premises. 

5. Landlord shall send to Agent a copy of any notice of default under the Lease sent by Landlord to Tenant. In addition, Landlord shall
send to Agent a copy of any notice received by Landlord of a breach or default under any other lease, mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement or other instrument to which Landlord is a party which may affect Landlord’s rights in, or
possession of, the Premises. 
 6. All notices to Agent under this Agreement shall be in writing and sent to Agent at its
address set forth on the signature page hereof by facsimile, by United States mail, or by overnight delivery service. 
 7. The
provisions of this Agreement shall continue in effect until Landlord shall have received Agent’s written certification that the security interests referenced hereunder have been released. 

8. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance
with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions.
