 2. THE REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY.

of the Banks severally agrees to lend to the Borrower and the Borrower may borrow, repay, and reborrow from time to time from the Closing Date up to but not including the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date upon notice by the Borrower to the Agent
given in accordance with §2.6, such sums, in Dollars or at the Borrower’s option from time to time, subject to §2.9, in an Optional Currency, as are requested by the Borrower up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding (after giving
effect to all amounts requested) at any one time equal to such Bank’s Commitment minus such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of the sum of the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, provided that the Dollar Equivalent
of the sum of the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested) plus the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations shall not at any time exceed the Total Commitment. The
Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Bank’s Commitment Percentage. Each request for a Revolving Credit Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that the conditions set forth
in §12 and §13, in the case of the initial Revolving Credit Loans to be made on the Closing Date, and §13, in the case of all other Revolving Credit Loans, have been satisfied on the date of such request. Each Prime Rate Loan shall be
denominated in Dollars, and each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be denominated in Dollars, or subject to §2.9, in an Optional Currency. 
  
 2.2. Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the accounts of the Banks in accordance with their respective
Commitment Percentages a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) calculated at the rate of Commitment Fee Rate per annum on the average daily amount during each calendar quarter or portion thereof from the date hereof to the Revolving Credit
Loan Maturity Date by which the Total Commitment minus the sum of the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations exceeds the outstanding amount of Revolving Credit Loans during such calendar quarter. The Commitment Fee
shall be 

  

 20 








 
payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter for the immediately preceding calendar quarter commencing on the first such date
following the date hereof, with a final payment on the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date or any earlier date on which the Commitments shall terminate. 
  
 2.3. Reduction of Total Commitment. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon three (3) Business Days prior
written notice to the Agent to reduce by $100,000 or an integral multiple thereof or terminate entirely the Total Commitment, whereupon the Commitments of the Banks shall be reduced pro rata in accordance with their respective
Commitment Percentages of the amount specified in such notice or, as the case may be, terminated. Promptly after receiving any notice of the Borrower delivered pursuant to this §2.3, the Agent will notify the Banks of the substance thereof.
Upon the effective date of any such reduction or termination, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Banks the full amount of any Commitment Fee then accrued on the amount of the reduction. No reduction or termination
of the Commitments may be reinstated. 
  
 2.4. The Revolving
Credit Notes. The Revolving Credit Loans shall be evidenced by separate promissory notes of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each a “Revolving Credit Note”), dated prior to or as of the
Closing Date and completed with appropriate insertions. One Revolving Credit Note shall be payable to the order of each Bank in a principal amount equal to such Bank’s Commitment or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Revolving Credit Loans
made by such Bank, plus interest accrued thereon, as set forth below. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes each Bank to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loan or at the time of receipt of any
payment of principal on such Bank’s Revolving Credit Note, an appropriate notation on such Bank’s Record reflecting the making of such Revolving Credit Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the
Revolving Credit Loans set forth on such Bank’s Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to such Bank, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on such
Bank’s Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Revolving Credit Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Revolving Credit Note when due. 
  
 2.5. Interest on Revolving Credit Loans. Except as otherwise
provided in §5.11, 
  
 (a) Each Prime Rate
Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto at the rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 
  
 (b) Each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest for the
period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto at the rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin. 

 
 (c) The Borrower promises to pay interest on each
Revolving Credit Loan in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect thereto. Interest on the Revolving Credit Loans calculated by reference to the Prime Rate shall be payable in Dollars, and interest on the Revolving Credit Loans calculated
by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate shall be payable in Dollars or in the applicable Optional Currency in which the underlying Revolving Credit Loan was made, as the case may be. 
  

 21 








 2.6. Requests for Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower shall give to the Agent written
notice in the form of Exhibit B hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in a writing in the form of Exhibit B hereto) of each Revolving Credit Loan requested hereunder (a “Loan Request”) (a) no later than 10:00
a.m. on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Prime Rate Loan and (b) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan; provided that any notice requesting an Optional Currency must comply with the

Currency, (ii) the proposed Drawdown Date of such Revolving Credit Loan, (iii) the Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Rate Loan and (iv) the Type of such Revolving Credit Loan. Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall notify each
of the Banks thereof. Each Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Revolving Credit Loan requested from the Banks on the proposed Drawdown Date. Each Loan Request shall be in a
minimum aggregate amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. 
  
 2.7. Conversion Options. 
  
 2.7.1. Conversion to Different Type of Revolving Credit Loan. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any outstanding Revolving Credit Loan denominated in Dollars to a Revolving Credit
Loan of another Type denominated in Dollars, provided that (a) with respect to any such conversion of a Revolving Credit Loan to a Prime Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice of
such election; (b) with respect to any such conversion of a Prime Rate Loan to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice of such election; (c) with respect to any such
conversion of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan into a Prime Rate Loan, such conversion shall only be made on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto; and (d) no Revolving Credit Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Rate Loan when any
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. On the date on which such conversion is being made each Bank shall take such action as is necessary to transfer its Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loans to its Domestic
Lending Office or its Eurocurrency Lending Office, as the case may be. All or any part of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars of any Type may be converted into a Revolving Credit Loan of another Type as provided herein,
provided that any partial conversion shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Conversion Request relating to the conversion of a Revolving Credit Loan to a Eurocurrency Rate
Loan shall be irrevocable by the Borrower. 
  
 2.7.2. Continuation of Type of Revolving Credit Loan. Any Revolving Credit Loan of any Type may be continued as a Revolving Credit Loan of the same Type upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by
compliance by the Borrower with the notice provisions contained in §2.7.1; provided that (a) as to Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, no Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, but shall be automatically converted to a Prime Rate Loan on the last day of the first Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default of which officers of the Agent
active upon the Borrower’s account have actual knowledge; and (b) as to Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Optional Currency, 

  

 22 








 
no such Eurocurrency Rate may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or the provisions of §2.9 hereof
have not or cannot be met at the time of such continuation but shall be repaid by the Borrower on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto. In the event that the Borrower fails to provide any such notice with respect to the continuation
of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan as such, then (a) as to Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, such Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be automatically converted to a Prime Rate Loan on the last day of the first Interest Period relating thereto,
and (b) as to Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Optional Currency, such Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be repaid on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto. The Agent shall notify the Banks promptly when any such automatic
conversion contemplated by this §2.7 is scheduled to occur. 
  
 2.7.3. Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Any conversion to or from Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the
aggregate principal amount of all Eurocurrency Rate Loans having the same Interest Period shall not be less than $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Optional
Currency, the whole number which is nearest the Dollar Equivalent of $500,000 or $100,000, as the case may be rounded to the nearest one thousandth). No more than five (5) Eurocurrency Rate Loans having different Interest Periods may be outstanding
at any time. 
  
 2.8. Funds for Revolving Credit
Loan. 
  
 2.8.1. Funding
Procedures. Not later than 11:00 a.m. (Boston time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loans, each of the Banks will make available to the Agent, at the Agent’s Head Office, in immediately available funds, the
amount of such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of the requested Revolving Credit Loans. Upon receipt from each Bank of such amount, and upon receipt of the documents required by §§12 and 13 and the satisfaction of the other
conditions set forth therein, to the extent applicable, the Agent will make available to the Borrower the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Loans made available to the Agent by the Banks. The failure or refusal of any Bank to make available
to the Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Credit Loans shall not relieve any other Bank from its several obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent
the amount of such other Bank’s Commitment Percentage of any requested Revolving Credit Loans. 
  
 2.8.2. Advances by Agent. The Agent may, unless notified to the contrary by any Bank prior to a Drawdown Date, assume that
such Bank has made available to the Agent on such Drawdown Date the amount of such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Credit Loans to be made on such Drawdown Date, and the Agent may (but it shall not be required to), in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If any Bank makes available to the Agent such amount on a date after such Drawdown Date, such Bank shall pay to the Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (a)
the average computed for the period referred to in clause (c) below, of the Overnight Rate for each day included in such period, times (b) the amount of such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loans, times (c) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including such Drawdown Date to the date on which the amount of such 

  

 23 








 
Bank’s Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loans shall become immediately available to the Agent, and the denominator of which is 365. A
statement of the Agent submitted to such Bank with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be prima facie evidence of the amount due and owing to the Agent by such Bank. If the amount of such Bank’s Commitment
Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loans is not made available to the Agent by such Bank within three (3) Business Days following such Drawdown Date, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount from the Borrower on demand, with interest
thereon at the rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans made on such Drawdown Date. 
  
 2.9. Optional Currency.  
  
 2.9.1. Request for Optional Currency. Subject to the limitations set forth in §2.1, the Borrower may, upon at least
three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Agent in substantially the form of Exhibit F hereto (an “OC Notice”), request that one or more Revolving Credit Loans be made as Eurocurrency Rate Loans in an Optional Currency,
provided that any Revolving Credit Loan proposed to be made under this §2.9.1 shall be in an amount not less than $500,000, or a greater amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000, or the Dollar Equivalent in an Optional Currency.
Each OC Notice requesting a Revolving Credit Loan in an Optional Currency shall be by telephone, telex, telecopy or cable (in each case confirmed in writing by the Borrower), specifying (a) the amount of the Revolving Credit Loan to be made, (b) the
requested date of the proposed borrowing, (c) the requested currency in which the Revolving Credit Loan is to be made, (d) the initial Interest Period for the Revolving Credit Loan to be borrowed, and (e) the Borrower’s account with the Agent,
or, in the case of an Optional Currency which is the legal tender of a country in which the Agent has no office, with another depository specified by the Borrower in such country, to which payment of the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loan is to
be made. If any Bank, on or prior to the second Business Day preceding the first day of any Interest Period for which an OC Notice has been delivered requesting a Revolving Credit Loan in an Optional Currency or on any funding date, determines
(which determination shall be conclusive) that the Optional Currency is not freely transferable and convertible into Dollars or that it will be impracticable for such Bank to fund the Revolving Credit Loan in such Optional Currency, then such Bank
shall so notify Agent, which notification shall be given immediately by the Agent to the Borrower, and such Bank’s portion of the requested Revolving Credit Loan shall, notwithstanding any contrary election by the Borrower or any other
provisions hereof, be denominated in Dollars as a Prime Rate Loan unless the Borrower, one Business Day prior to the commencement of the Interest Period and pursuant to the terms of §2.6, elects to have such Revolving Credit Loan denominated in
Dollars as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan. Subject to the foregoing and to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of §§12 and 13, each Revolving Credit Loan requested to be made in an Optional Currency will be made on the date specified
therefor in the OC Notice, in the currency requested in the OC Notice and, upon being so made, will have the Interest Period requested in the OC Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the aggregate outstanding amount of
all Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Optional Currency shall not exceed the Dollar Equivalent of $15,000,000 at any time. 
  
 2.9.2. Exchange Rate. For purposes of this Credit Agreement, the amount in one currency which shall be equivalent on any
particular date to a specified amount in another currency shall be that amount (as conclusively ascertained by the Agent by its 

  

 24 








 
normal banking practices, absent manifest error) in the first currency which is or could be purchased by the Agent (in accordance with normal banking
practices) with such specified amount in the second currency in the London interbank market or any other recognized offshore interbank market selected by the Agent in good faith for delivery on such date at the spot rate of exchange prevailing at
10:00 A.M. (Boston time) (or as soon thereafter as practicable) on such date (such amount described in this §2.9.2, the “Rate of Exchange”). 
  
 2.9.3. Denominations. In the event that any portion of the funds available under the terms of this Credit Agreement is
denominated in an Optional Currency, the Dollar Equivalent of such portion of the funds shall be calculated pursuant to §2.9.2 above. The amount so determined shall then be added to the amount already outstanding in Dollars for the purpose of
determining the remaining availability of funds under §2.1 and §2.9.1 hereof and any required repayments under the following §2.9.4. 
  
 2.9.4. Repayment. If at any time prior to the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date, the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate
principal amount outstanding of all Revolving Credit Loans, Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations and the Maximum Drawing Amount hereunder shall exceed the Total Commitment as a result of fluctuations in respective conversion rates, the Borrower shall
pay or cause to be paid immediately, upon demand made by the Agent, such amounts as are sufficient to eliminate such excess and to reduce the aggregate principal amount outstanding to the Dollar Equivalent of the Total Commitment. In the event there
are any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding which are denominated in an Optional Currency, the Agent shall provide the Banks and the Borrower with calculations on the last day of each calendar month that such Revolving Credit Loans are outstanding as
to the Dollar Equivalents of such Revolving Credit Loans. 
  
 2.9.5. Funding. Each Bank may make any Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in an Optional Currency by causing any of its foreign branches or foreign affiliates to make such Eurocurrency Rate Loan (whether
or not such branch or affiliate is named as a lending office on the signature pages hereof); provided that in such event the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall nevertheless be to such Bank and shall, for all
purposes of this Credit Agreement (including without limitation for purposes of the definition of the term “Majority Banks”) be deemed made by such Bank, to the extent of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, for the account of such branch or
affiliate. 
  
 2.10. Settlements. 

  
 2.10.1. General. On each
Settlement Date, the Agent shall, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Boston time), give telephonic or facsimile notice (a) to the Banks and the Borrower of the respective outstanding amount of Revolving Credit Loans made by the Agent on behalf of the Banks
from the immediately preceding Settlement Date through the close of business on the prior day and the amount of any Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be made (following the giving of notice pursuant to §2.6.1(ii)) on such date pursuant to a Loan
Request and (b) to the Banks of the amount (a “Settlement Amount”) that each Bank (a “Settling Bank”) shall pay to effect a Settlement of any Revolving Credit Loan. A statement of the Agent submitted to the Banks and the Borrower
or to the Banks with respect to any amounts owing under this §2.10 shall be prima facie evidence of the 

  

 25 








 
amount due and owing. Each Settling Bank shall, not later than 3:00 p.m. (Boston time) on such Settlement Date, effect a wire transfer of Same Day Funds to
the Agent in the amount of the Settlement Amount for such Settling Bank. All funds advanced by any Bank as a Settling Bank pursuant to this §2.10 shall for all purposes be treated as a Revolving Credit Loan made by such Settling Bank to the
Borrower and all funds received by any Bank pursuant to this §2.10 shall for all purposes be treated as repayment of amounts owed with respect to Revolving Credit Loans made by such Bank. In the event that any bankruptcy, reorganization,
liquidation, receivership or similar cases or proceedings in which the Borrower is a debtor prevent a Settling Bank from making any Revolving Credit Loan to effect a Settlement as contemplated hereby, such Settling Bank will make such dispositions
and arrangements with the other Banks with respect to such Revolving Credit Loans, either by way of purchase of participations, distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Bank’s
share of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans being equal, as nearly as may be, to such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans. 
  
 2.10.2. Failure to Make Funds Available. The Agent may, unless notified to the contrary by any
Settling Bank prior to a Settlement Date, assume that such Settling Bank has made or will make available to the Agent on such Settlement Date the amount of such Settling Bank’s Settlement Amount, and the Agent may (but it shall not be required
to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If any Settling Bank makes available to the Agent such amount on a date after such Settlement Date, such Settling Bank shall pay to the Agent on demand an
amount equal to the product of (a) the average computed for the period referred to in clause (c) below, of the Overnight Rate for each day included in such period, times (b) the amount of such Settlement Amount, times (c) a fraction, the numerator
of which is the number of days that elapse from and including such Settlement Date to the date on which the amount of such Settlement Amount shall become immediately available to the Agent, and the denominator of which is 360. A statement of the
Agent submitted to such Settling Bank with respect to any amounts owing under this §2.10.2 shall be prima facie evidence of the amount due and owing to the Agent by such Settling Bank. If such Settling Bank’s Settlement Amount is not made
available to the Agent by such Settling Bank within three (3) Business Days following such Settlement Date, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount from the Borrower on demand, with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to the
Revolving Credit Loans as of such Settlement Date. 
  
 2.10.3. No Effect on Other Banks. The failure or refusal of any Settling Bank to make available to the Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Settlement Date the amount of such Settling Bank’s Settlement
Amount shall not (a) relieve any other Settling Bank from its several obligations hereunder to make available to the Agent the amount of such other Settling Bank’s Settlement Amount or (b) impose upon any Bank, other than the Settling Bank so
failing or refusing, any liability with respect to such failure or refusal or otherwise increase the Commitment of such other Bank. 
  
 2.11. Intentionally Omitted.  
  

 26 








 3. REPAYMENT OF THE REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS. 
  
 3.1. Maturity. The Borrower promises to pay on the Revolving
Credit Loan Maturity Date, and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date, all of the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

  
 3.2. Mandatory Repayments of Revolving Credit
Loans. If at any time the sum of the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations exceeds the Total Commitment at such time, then the Borrower shall immediately pay the
amount of such excess to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Banks for application: first, to any Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations; second, to the Revolving Credit Loans; and third, to provide to the Agent Cash Collateral for Reimbursement
Obligations as contemplated by §4.2(b) and (c). In addition, the Borrower promises to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Banks immediately upon receipt thereof, 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds (a) in excess of $5,000,000 from the sale
or other disposition of assets permitted by §10.5.2 (other than the sale of inventory or the licensing of intellectual property in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice), (b) from any equity issuances permitted hereunder
by the Parent Companies, the Borrower or their Subsidiaries; or (c) from debt issuances permitted hereunder by the Parent Companies, the Borrower or their Subsidiaries, pursuant to any public offerings or debt offerings under Rule 144(a) of the Rule
and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, all of which amounts shall be applied in accordance with the preceding sentence of this §3.2. Each payment of any Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations or prepayment of Revolving Credit
Loans shall be allocated among the Banks, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to each Reimbursement Obligation or (as the case may be) the respective unpaid principal amount of each Bank’s Revolving Credit Note, with adjustments to the
extent practicable to equalize any prior payments or repayments not exactly in proportion. 
  
 3.3. Optional Repayments of Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to repay the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time
without penalty or premium, provided that any full or partial prepayment of the outstanding amount of any Eurocurrency Rate Loans pursuant to this §3.3 may be made only on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto. The
Borrower shall give the Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m., Boston time, on the day of the proposed prepayment prior written notice (or telephonic notice conformed in a writing by the end of such day) of such proposed prepayment pursuant to this
§3.3 of Prime Rate Loans, and three (3) Business Days notice of any proposed prepayment pursuant to this §3.3 of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, in each case specifying the proposed date of prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans and the principal
amount to be prepaid. Each such partial prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be in the amount of $100,000 or an integral multiple thereof (or the Dollar Equivalent) in excess thereof, and shall be applied, in the absence of instruction by
the Borrower, first to the principal of Prime Rate Loans and then to the principal of Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Each partial prepayment shall be allocated among the Banks, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal
amount of each Bank’s Revolving Credit Note, with adjustments to the extent practicable to equalize any prior repayments not exactly in proportion. 
  

 27 








 4. LETTERS OF CREDIT. 
  
 4.1. Letter of Credit Commitments. 
  
 4.1.1. Commitment to Issue Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and
the execution and delivery by the Borrower of a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s customary form (a “Letter of Credit Application”), the Issuing Bank on behalf of the Banks and in reliance
upon the agreement of the Banks set forth in §4.1.4 and upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained herein, agrees, in its individual capacity, to issue and extend for the account of the Borrower one or more standby or
documentary letters of credit (individually, a “Letter of Credit”), in such form as may be requested from time to time by the Borrower and agreed to by the Issuing Bank until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date;
provided, however, that after giving effect to such request, the sum of the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate L/C Obligations plus the aggregate amount of all Revolving Credit Loans outstanding shall not exceed the Total Commitment.

  
 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this §4, no Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: 
  
 (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such
Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any laws applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall
prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or
capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date
and which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; 
  
 (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank; 
  
 (iii) except as otherwise agreed by the Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less
than $50,000, in the case of a documentary Letter of Credit, or $100,000, in the case of a standby Letter of Credit; 
  
 (iv) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or

  
 (v) a default of any Bank’s obligations
to fund under this §4 exists or any Bank is at such time a Delinquent Bank hereunder, unless such Issuing Bank has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Bank to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to
such Bank; 
  

 28 








 (b) The applicable Issuing Bank shall not amend any Letter of Credit if such Issuing Bank
would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof; 
  
 (c) The applicable Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (i) such Issuing Bank would have no
obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (ii) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit. 
  
 4.1.2. Letter of Credit Applications. (a) Each
Letter of Credit Application shall be completed to the satisfaction of the applicable Issuing Bank and signed by a duly authorized officer of the Borrower. In the event that any provision of any Letter of Credit Application shall be inconsistent
with any provision of this Credit Agreement, then the provisions of this Credit Agreement shall, to the extent of any such inconsistency, govern. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Agent not
later than 11:00 a.m. (Boston time) at least two Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be, of any Letter of Credit, or such later date and time as the Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank may agree
in a particular instance in their sole discretion. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank: (i) the
proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) the amount thereof; (iii) the expiry date thereof (which shall be no later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date); (iv) the name and address of the
beneficiary thereof; (v) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (vi) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (vii) such other matters
as the applicable Issuing Bank may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank (A)
the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the applicable Issuing Bank may require. Additionally, the
Borrower shall furnish to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any documents related thereto, as the applicable Issuing Bank or
the Agent may reasonably require. 
  
 (b)
Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Issuing Bank will confirm with the Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not,
such Issuing Bank will provide the Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the applicable Issuing Bank has received written notice from any Bank, the Agent or the Borrower or any Guarantor, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of
issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in §13 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the applicable Issuing Bank shall, on the requested
date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices. 
  

 29 








 4.1.3. Terms of Letters of Credit. Each Letter of Credit issued or extended
hereunder shall, among other things, (a) provide for the payment of sight drafts for honor thereunder when presented in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents described therein, and (b) have an expiry date no later
than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit which extends beyond the Revolving Maturity Date shall be subject to §4.2(b) or (c) hereof. Each documentary Letter of Credit so issued or
extended shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500 or any successor version thereto in effect at the time of issuance of such Letter of Credit
(the “Uniform Customs”) or, in the case of a standby Letter of Credit, unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower, the rules of the International Standby Practices. 
  
 4.1.4. Reimbursement Obligations of Banks.
Each Bank severally agrees that it shall be absolutely liable, without regard to the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or any other condition precedent whatsoever, to the extent of such Bank’s Commitment Percentage, to reimburse the
Issuing Bank through the Agent on demand for the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Bank under each Letter of Credit to the extent that such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to §4.2 (such agreement for a Bank being called
herein the “Letter of Credit Participation” of such Bank). 
  
 4.1.5. Participations of Banks. Each such payment made by a Bank shall be treated as the purchase by such Bank of a participating interest in the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation under §4.2
in an amount equal to such payment. Each Bank shall share in accordance with its participating interest in any interest which accrues pursuant to §4.2. 
  
 4.2. Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. In order to induce the any Issuing Bank to issue and extend each Letter of Credit and the
Banks to participate therein, the Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse or pay to the Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank or (as the case may be) the Banks, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued or extended by the any Issuing
Bank hereunder, 
  
 (a) except as otherwise
expressly provided in §4.2(b) and (c), on each date that any draft presented under such Letter of Credit is honored by the Issuing Bank, or the Issuing Bank otherwise makes a payment with respect thereto, (i) the amount paid by the Issuing Bank
under or with respect to such Letter of Credit, and (ii) the amount of any taxes, fees, charges or other costs and expenses whatsoever incurred by the Issuing Bank or any Bank in connection with any payment made by the Issuing Bank or any Bank
under, or with respect to, such Letter of Credit, 
  
 (b) upon the reduction (but not termination) of the Total Commitment to an amount less than the Maximum Drawing Amount, an amount equal to such difference, which amount shall be held by the Agent for the benefit of the applicable Issuing
Bank and the Banks and the Agent as Cash Collateral for all Reimbursement Obligations, and 
  
 (c) upon the termination of the Total Commitment, or the acceleration of the Reimbursement Obligations with respect to all Letters of
Credit in accordance with §14, an amount equal to the then Maximum Drawing Amount on all Letters of Credit, which amount shall be held by the Agent for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Bank and the Banks and the Agent as Cash Collateral
for all Reimbursement Obligations. 
  

 30 








 Each such payment shall be made to the Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank at the Agent’s Head
Office in immediately available funds. Interest on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the Borrower under this §4.2 at any time from the date such amounts become due and payable (whether as stated in this §4.2, by acceleration or
otherwise) until payment in full (whether before or after judgment) shall be payable to the Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank on demand at the rate specified in §5.11 for overdue principal on the Revolving Credit Loans.

  
 4.3. Letter of Credit Payments. 

  
 (a) If any draft shall be presented or other
demand for payment shall be made under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall notify the Agent and the Borrower of the date and amount of the draft presented or demand for payment and of the date and time when it expects to pay such draft or
honor such demand for payment. If the Borrower fails to reimburse the Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank as provided in §4.2 on or before the date that such draft is paid or other payment is made by the Issuing Bank, the Agent
may at any time thereafter notify the Banks of the amount of any such Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation. No later than 3:00 p.m. (Boston time) on the Business Day next following the receipt of such notice, each Bank shall make available to the Agent
for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, at the Agent’s Head Office, in immediately available funds, such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of such Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation, together with an amount equal to the product of (i) the
average, computed for the period referred to in clause (iii) below, of the weighted average interest rate paid by the Agent for Federal funds acquired by the Agent during each day included in such period, times (ii) the amount equal to such
Bank’s Commitment Percentage of such Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation, times (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including the date the Issuing Bank paid the draft presented for honor or
otherwise made payment to the date on which such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of such Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation shall become immediately available to the Issuing Bank, and the denominator of which is 360. Each Bank, the Borrower and each
Guarantor agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of
Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document (other than in conformity with the requirements of the Letter of Credit) or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. The Borrower
hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s
pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the applicable Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their
face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the applicable Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring
or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. 
  

 31 








 (b) With respect to any Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation that is not fully refinanced by a
Revolving Credit Loan because the conditions set forth in §13 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable Issuing Bank an extension of credit resulting from and in the amount of
the Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation that is not so refinanced, which extension of credit shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Bank’s payment to the Agent
for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to this §4.3 shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such extension of credit and shall constitute a funding of such Bank’s participation in such extension of
credit in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this §4. No such funding of such Bank’s participation in such extension of credit shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable
Issuing Bank for the amount of any payment made by the applicable Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
  
 (c) Until each Bank funds its Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Credit Loans or participations as set forth in this §4.3 to
reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank. 
  
 (d) If any Bank fails to make available to the Agent for the
account of the applicable Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this §4.3 by the time specified in §4.3, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Bank
(acting through the Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the applicable Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the
greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Issuing Bank in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the applicable Issuing Bank submitted to any Bank (through the Agent) with
respect to any amounts owing under this clause (d) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
  
 (e) At any time after the applicable Issuing Bank has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Bank such
Bank’s participation in respect of such payment in accordance with this §4.3, if the Agent receives for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank any payment in respect of the related Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation or interest thereon
(whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Agent), the Agent will distribute to such Bank its Commitment Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest
payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Bank’s participation was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Agent. If any payment received by the Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to
§4.3 is required to be returned in connection with any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the applicable Issuing Bank in its discretion), each Bank shall pay to the Agent for
the account of the applicable Issuing Bank its Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Bank, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds
Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Banks under the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Credit Agreement. 
  

 32 








 4.4. Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this §4 shall be
absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or any condition precedent whatsoever or any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or
have had against the Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Bank or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit. The Borrower further agrees with the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Banks that the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Banks shall not be responsible for,
and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under §4.2 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all
respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any financing institution or other party to which any Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims or defenses
whatsoever of the Borrower against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Banks shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of
any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Bank under or in connection with each Letter of Credit and the related
drafts and documents, if done in good faith and absent gross negligence, shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall not result in any liability on the part of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Bank to the Borrower. 
  
 4.5. Reliance by Issuer. To the extent not inconsistent with
§4.4, the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any Letter of Credit, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype
message, statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts
selected by the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Credit Agreement unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Majority Banks as it reasonably deems
appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Issuing Bank shall in all
cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Credit Agreement in accordance with a request of the Majority Banks, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the
Banks and all future holders of the Revolving Credit Notes or of a Letter of Credit Participation. 
  
 4.6. Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrower shall pay a fee (in each case, a “Letter of Credit Fee”) to the Agent quarterly in arrears
on the first day of each calendar quarter for the immediately preceding calendar quarter commencing on the first such date following the date hereof (a) in respect of each standby Letter of Credit an amount equal to the Applicable Margin for letter
of credit fees per annum of the face amount of such standby Letter of Credit, of which an amount equal to one eighth of one percent (1/8%) per annum of the face amount of such standby Letter of Credit shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, as
a fronting fee, and the balance of which Letter of Credit Fee shall be for the accounts of the Banks in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages and (b) in respect of each documentary Letter of Credit an amount equal to the Applicable
Margin for letter of credit fees per annum of the face amount of such documentary Letter of Credit, of which an amount equal to one eighth of one percent 

  

 33 








 
(1/8%) per annum of the face amount of such documentary Letter of Credit shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, as a fronting fee, and the balance of
which Letter of Credit Fee shall be for the accounts of the Banks in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages. In respect of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall also pay to the Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing
Bank for the Issuing Bank‘s own account, on date of issuance or any extension of any Letter of Credit and at such other time or times as such charges are customarily made by the Issuing Bank, the Issuing Bank‘s customary issuance,
amendment, negotiation or document examination and other administrative fees as in effect from time to time. 
  
 4.7. Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be
deemed to mean the maximum face amount in Dollars of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all increases thereof contemplated by such Letter of Credit or the documents related thereto, whether or not such maximum face amount is in effect at
such time. 
  
 4.8. Cash Collateral. Upon the
request of the Agent, (i) if the applicable Issuing Bank has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an extension of credit resulting from and in the amount of the Unpaid Reimbursement
Obligation pursuant to §4.3(a) or (b) if, as of the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date, any L/C Obligations for any reason remain outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding amount of all
such L/C Obligations. Section 3.2 sets forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. For purposes of this §4 and §3.2, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the
Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Bank and the Banks, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the applicable
Issuing Bank (which documents are hereby consented to by the Banks) in an amount equal to 105% of the L/C Obligations. Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Agent, for benefit of the Issuing Bank and
the Banks, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America. 
  
 5. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS. 
  
 5.1. Funds for Payments.  
  
 5.1.1. Payments to Agent. All payments of
principal and interest on Revolving Credit Loans made to the Borrower which are denominated in Dollars, Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit issued in Dollars, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees and any other amounts due
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made on the due date thereof to the Agent in Dollars, for the respective accounts of the Banks and the Agent, at the Agent’s Head Office or at such other place that the Agent may from
time to time designate, in each case at or about 11:00 a.m. (Boston, Massachusetts, time or other local time at the place of payment) and in Same Day Funds. All payments of principal and interest on Revolving Credit Loans made to the Borrower which
are denominated in an Optional Currency, all Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit issued in an Optional Currency and all other fees hereunder by any local branch or affiliate of any Bank or the Agent located outside of the
United States shall be made by the Borrower to the Agent in the currency of such Revolving Credit Loan or Letter of Credit, as the case may be, at or 

  

 34 








 
prior to 11:00 a.m., local time, on any payment date, in Same Day Funds, for the account of the Agent, at a depository designated by the Agent in the country
in which such Optional Currency is legal tender. Each payment in respect of any Revolving Credit Loan and any Reimbursement Obligations made by the Borrower shall be made in the same currency in which such Revolving Credit Loan was made unless
otherwise agreed by the Banks. 
  
 5.1.2.
No Offset, etc. All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without recoupment, setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts,
duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the
Borrower is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation is imposed upon the Borrower with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower will pay to the Agent,
for the account of the Banks or (as the case may be) the Agent, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder or under such other Loan Document, such additional amount in Dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Banks or the Agent
to receive the same net amount which the Banks or the Agent would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon the Borrower. The Borrower will deliver promptly to the Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all
taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under such other Loan Document. 
  
 5.2. Computations. All computations of Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees or other fees shall, unless otherwise expressly provided
herein, be based on a 365-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed, and all computations of interest on Prime Rate Loans and Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be based on a 360-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed.
Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day,
the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. The outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans as reflected on the Records from time to time shall be
considered correct and binding on the Borrower unless within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of any notice by the Agent or any of the Banks of such outstanding amount, the Agent or such Bank shall notify the Borrower to the contrary.

  
 5.3. Inability to Determine Eurocurrency
Rate. In the event, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Agent shall determine or be notified by the Majority Banks that (a) adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for
ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate, that would otherwise determine the rate of interest to be applicable to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan during any Interest Period or deposits of Dollars or the relevant Optional Currency, as the case may be, in the
relevant Interest Period are not available to the Agent or the Banks in any London or other offshore interbank market, or (b) the Eurocurrency Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the
cost to the Banks of making or maintaining their Eurocurrency Rate Loans during such period, the Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Banks) to the Borrower and the
Banks. In such event (a) any Loan Request or Conversion Request with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall 

  

 35 








 
be automatically withdrawn and, in the case of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars, shall be deemed a request for Prime Rate Loans to be
denominated in Dollars and in the case of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in an Optional Currency, shall be withdrawn, (b) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period relating thereto,
if denominated in Dollars, become a Prime Rate Loan and if denominated in an Optional Currency, be repaid, and (c) the obligations of the Banks to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Agent or the Majority Banks determine that
the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Agent or, as the case may be, the Agent upon the instruction of the Majority Banks, shall so notify the Borrower and the Banks. 
  
 5.4. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein,
if any present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Bank to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans or perform its obligations in respect of any Eurocurrency
Rate Loans in an Optional Currency or Currencies, such Bank shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Borrower and the other Banks and thereupon (a) the commitment of such Bank to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans or convert Revolving
Credit Loans of another Type to Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended and (b) such Bank’s Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding as Eurocurrency Rate Loans and denominated in Dollars, if any, shall be converted automatically to
Prime Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Eurocurrency Rate Loans or within such earlier period as may be required by law and the Eurocurrency Rate Loans then outstanding and denominated in an Optional Currency, if
any, shall be repaid on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Eurocurrency Rate Loan or within such earlier period as may be required by law. The Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay the Agent for the account of such Bank, upon
demand by such Bank, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Bank for any costs incurred by such Bank in making any conversion in accordance with this §5.4, including any interest or fees payable by such Bank to lenders of funds
obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Eurocurrency Rate Loans hereunder. 
  
 5.5. Additional Costs, etc. If any present or future applicable law, which expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and interpretations thereof by any competent
court or by any governmental or other regulatory body or official charged with the administration or the interpretation thereof and requests, directives, instructions and notices at any time or from time to time hereafter made upon or otherwise
issued to any Bank or the Agent by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall: 
  
 (a) subject any Bank or the Agent to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to this
Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Letters of Credit, such Bank’s Commitment or the Revolving Credit Loans (other than taxes based upon or measured by the income or profits of such Bank or the Agent), or 
  
 (b) materially change the basis of taxation (except for
changes in taxes on income or profits) of payments to any Bank of the principal of or the interest on any Revolving Credit Loans or any other amounts payable to any Bank or the Agent under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or

  
 (c) impose or increase or render applicable
(other than to the extent specifically provided for elsewhere in this Credit Agreement) any special deposit, 

  

 36 








 
reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law) against assets held by, or deposits
in or for the account of, or loans by, or letters of credit issued by, or commitments of an office of any Bank, or 
  
 (d) impose on any Bank or the Agent any other conditions or requirements with respect to this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents,
any Letters of Credit, the Revolving Credit Loans, such Bank’s Commitment, or any class of loans, letters of credit or commitments of which any of the Revolving Credit Loans or such Bank’s Commitment forms a part, and the result of any of
the foregoing is 
  
 (i) to increase the cost to
any Bank of making, funding, issuing, extending or maintaining any of the Revolving Credit Loans or such Bank’s Commitment or any Letter of Credit, or 
  
 (ii) to reduce the amount of principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligation or other amount payable to such Bank or the Agent hereunder on
account of such Bank’s Commitment, any Letter of Credit or any of the Revolving Credit Loans, or 
  
 (iii) to require such Bank or the Agent to make any payment or to forego any interest or Reimbursement Obligation or other sum payable
hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or Reimbursement Obligation or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Bank or the Agent from the Borrower hereunder,

  
 then, and in each such case, the Borrower will, upon demand made by such Bank
or (as the case may be) the Agent at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Bank or the Agent such additional amounts as will be sufficient to compensate such Bank or the Agent for such additional
cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or Reimbursement Obligation. 
  
 5.6. Capital Adequacy. If after the date hereof any Bank or the Agent determines that (a) the adoption of or change in any law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by a court or governmental authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (b)
compliance by such Bank or the Agent or any corporation controlling such Bank or the Agent with any law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such entity regarding capital
adequacy, has the effect of reducing the return on such Bank’s or the Agent’s commitment with respect to any Revolving Credit Loans to a level below that which such Bank or the Agent could have achieved but for such adoption, change or
compliance (taking into consideration such Bank’s or the Agent’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Bank or (as the case may be)
the Agent to be material, then such Bank or the Agent may notify the Borrower of such fact. To the extent that the amount of such reduction in the return on capital is not reflected in the Prime Rate, the Borrower and such Bank shall thereafter
attempt to negotiate in good faith, within thirty (30) days of the day on which the Borrower receives such notice, an adjustment payable hereunder that will compensate such Bank for such reduction. If the Borrower and such Bank are unable to agree
to such adjustment within thirty (30) days of the 

  

 37 








 
date on which the Borrower receives such notice, then commencing on the date of such notice (but not earlier than the effective date of any such increased
capital requirement), the fees payable hereunder shall increase by an amount that will, in such Bank’s reasonable determination, provide adequate compensation. Each Bank shall allocate such cost increases among its customers in good faith and
on an equitable basis. 
  
 5.7. Certificate. A
certificate setting forth any additional amounts payable pursuant to §§5.7 or 5.8 and a brief explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Bank or the Agent to the Borrower, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, that
such amounts are due and owing. 
  
 5.8. Indemnity.
The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Bank and to hold each Bank harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense that such Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in payment of the principal amount of or any
interest on any Eurocurrency Rate Loans as and when due and payable, including any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Bank to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (b)
default by the Borrower in making a borrowing or conversion after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Loan Request or a Conversion Request relating thereto in accordance with §2.6 or §2.7 or (c) the making of any payment
of principal of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or the making of any conversion of any such Revolving Credit Loan to a Prime Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect thereto, including interest or fees
payable by such Bank to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain any such Revolving Credit Loans. 
  
 5.9. Interest After Default. 
  
 5.9.1. Overdue Amounts. Overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) interest on the Revolving
Credit Loans and all other overdue amounts payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall bear interest compounded monthly and payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) above the interest rate otherwise
applicable to such Revolving Credit Loans and two percent (2%) above the Letter of Credit Fees applicable to any outstanding Letters of Credit until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment). 
  
 5.9.2. Amounts Not Overdue. During the
continuance of an Event of Default the principal of the Revolving Credit Loans not overdue and the amount of all L/C Obligations shall, until such Default or Event of Default has been cured or remedied or such Default or Event of Default has been
waived by the Majority Banks pursuant to §27, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) above the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to §2.5 or, as the case may be, equal to two
percent (2%) above the Letter of Credit Fee applicable to any Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the co-existence of a payment Default or Event of Default (as described in §5.9.1) and a non-payment Default or Event of Default (as described in
this §5.9 .2), the rate of interest on the Revolving Credit Loans and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) interest thereon shall not be greater than two percent (2%) above the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Revolving Credit
Loans and the Letter of Credit Fees payable with respect to any Letter of Credit shall not be greater than two percent (2%) above the Letter of Credit Fee applicable to such Letter of Credit. 
  

 38 








 5.10. Currency Matters. 
  
 5.10.1. Currency of Account. Dollars are the currency of account and payment for each and
every sum at any time due from the Borrower hereunder; provided that: 
  
 (a) except as expressly provided in this Credit Agreement, each repayment of a Revolving Credit Loan or a part thereof and each repayment of a Reimbursement Obligation shall be made in the currency in which such
Revolving Credit Loan or Letter of Credit is denominated at the time of that repayment; 
  
 (b) each payment of interest shall be made in the currency in which such principal or other sum in respect of which such interest is
payable, is denominated; 
  
 (c) each payment of
Letter of Credit Fees and the Commitment Fee shall be in Dollars; 
  
 (d) each payment in respect of costs, expenses and indemnities shall be made in the currency in which the same were incurred; and 
  
 (e) any amount expressed to be payable in a currency other than Dollars shall be paid in that other
currency. 
  
 No payment to the Agent or any Bank (whether under any judgment or
court order or otherwise) shall discharge the obligation or liability in respect of which it was made unless and until the Agent or such Bank shall have received payment in full in the currency in which such obligation or liability was incurred, and
to the extent that the amount of any such payment shall, on actual conversion into such currency, fall short of such obligation or liability actual or contingent expressed in that currency, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent or
such Bank, as the case may be, with respect to the amount of the shortfall, with such indemnity surviving the termination of this Credit Agreement and any legal proceeding, judgment or court order pursuant to which the original payment was made
which resulted in the shortfall. 
  
 5.10.2.
Currency Fluctuations. (a) Not later than 11:00 a.m. (Boston time) on the last Business Day of each calendar month (the “Calculation Date”), the Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent as of such date. The Dollar Equivalent
so determined shall become effective on the first Business Day immediately following such determination (a “Reset Date”) and shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date. 
  
 (b) If, on any Reset Date and on the Revolving Credit Loan
Maturity Date the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding amount of all Revolving Credit Loans, the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations exceeds the Total Commitment for three (3) or more consecutive Business Days
(but only as to the Reset Date), then the Borrower shall repay or prepay the Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with this Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount such that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate outstanding amount
(expressed in Dollars) of all Revolving Credit Loans plus the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations no longer exceeds the Total Commitment (expressed in Dollars). 
  

 39 








 (c) Without limiting subsection §5.10.2(b), if, on any day prior to the Revolving
Credit Loan Maturity Date, the aggregate outstanding amount (expressed in Dollars) of all Revolving Credit Loans plus the Maximum Drawing Amount plus the Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations exceeds the Total Commitment by five percent (5%) or more,
then (x) the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks and (y) within two (2) Business Days thereafter, the Borrower shall repay or prepay the Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with this Credit Agreement in an aggregate
principal amount such that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate outstanding amount (expressed in Dollars) of all Revolving Credit Loans plus the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations no longer exceeds the Total
Commitment (expressed in Dollars). Nothing set forth in this §5.10.2 shall be construed to require the Agent to calculate daily compliance under this §5.10.2 unless expressly requested to do so by a Bank. 
  
 5.11. European Monetary Union. If, as a result of the
implementation of the EMU in any country which has not, as of the date hereof, so implemented the EMU: 
  
 (i) such country’s currency ceases to be the lawful currency of such country and is replaced by the Euro as the lawful currency of
such nation, or 
  
 (ii) such currency and the
Euro are at the same time recognized by the central bank or comparable authority of such country as lawful currency of such nation and the Agent or the Majority Banks shall so request or the Borrower shall so request and the Agent or the Majority
Banks shall so consent, in a notice delivered to the Borrower, 
  
 then: 
  
 (A) any amount payable hereunder by the Banks
to the Borrower, or by the Borrower to the Banks in such local currency shall instead be payable in the Euro and the amount so payable shall be determined by translating the amount payable in such currency to the Euro at the exchange rate recognized
by the European Central Bank for the purpose of implementing the EMU; and 
  
 (B) if so specified in the notice delivered under the foregoing clause (ii) or in any subsequent notice referring to such clause, such local currency recognized at the same time as the Euro shall no longer be
available as an Optional Currency for purposes of this Credit Agreement, effective at the expiration of the period of five (5) Business Days following the Borrower’s receipt of such notice. Such notice shall apply to (1) any Revolving Credit
Loan to be made on or after the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period or (2) any Revolving Credit Loan outstanding at the end of such five (5) Business Day period and denominated in such Optional Currency, following the expiration of the
Interest Period applicable to such outstanding Revolving Credit Loan at the time of the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period. 
  
 (b) The Agent may in its discretion by notice to the Banks and the Borrower: 
  
 (i) modify the definition of “Business Day” to include a principal financial center of any
Participating Member State where Revolving Credit Loans to bear interest by reference to the Euro Interbank Rate are funded, or any amounts are or are to be paid in Euros; 
  

 40 








 (ii) designate an account or accounts at a bank in a principal financial center of any
Participating Member State for receiving payments to the Agent, whether for the account of the Agent or for the account of the Banks, in immediately available funds, in Euros or for disbursing Revolving Credit Loans to bear interest by reference to
the Euro Interbank Rate; 
  
 (iii) designate the
date or time for fixing the Euro Interbank Rate for any Interest Period to be consistent with any practice or convention in the London interbank market; 
  
 (iv) designate other mechanics for fixing the Euro Interbank Rate to be, in the reasonable judgment of the Agent, as nearly as may be,
consistent with the mechanics for determining rates for other Optional Currencies (e.g. by reference to Reuters screen or page) and also consistent with any practice or convention in the London interbank market (e.g. by reference to a comparable
Reuters screen or page for the Euro); 
  
 (v)
designate the period of notice from the Borrower to the Agent required for the Borrower to borrow any Revolving Credit Loan to be denominated in Euros or to convert any Revolving Credit Loan denominated in another Optional Currency to a Revolving
Credit Loan denominated in Euros; 
  
 (vi)
designate the basis of accrual of interest, fees or other amounts to be consistent with any practice or convention in the London interbank market with respect to amounts calculated or payable in Euros; 
  
 (vii) where this Credit Agreement specifies a minimum amount
or integral multiple thereof, designate what the Agent considers a reasonably comparable and convenient minimum amount and integral multiple for the Euro; and 
  

(viii) where this Credit Agreement specifies an amount to be paid in an Optional Currency that is, under the terms of this §5.11,
to be paid in Euros, designate a convenient amount in Euros to account for de minimis rounding. 
  
 (c) Section 5.3 shall not apply in the event that the local currency is not available or an interbank offered rate may not be quoted for
such currency, solely because such currency ceases to be lawful currency of the nation issuing such currency and is replaced by the Euro as the lawful currency of such nation, so long as the Euro is available as an Optional Currency and the Euro
Interbank Rate may be quoted for the Euro. 
  
 (d) The Borrower agrees, at the request of the Majority Banks, at the time of or at any time following the implementation of the EMU in any country after the Closing Date and within thirty (30) days following such request, to enter into an
agreement amending this Credit Agreement in such manner as the Majority Banks shall reasonably specify in order further to reflect the implementation of the EMU and to place the parties hereto in the position they would have been in had the EMU not
been implemented in such country. 
  

 41 








 (e) The Borrower agrees, at the request of any Bank, to compensate such Bank for any
reasonable loss, cost, expense or reduction in return that shall be incurred or sustained by such Bank as a result of the implementation of the EMU and that would not have been incurred or sustained but for the transactions provided for herein. A
certificate of a Bank setting forth (i) the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Bank, (ii) a description of the nature of the loss or expense sustained or incurred by such Bank as a consequence thereof and (iii) a reasonably detailed
explanation of the calculation thereof shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

  
 5.12. Lending Office. Each Revolving Credit Loan
made by any Bank in an Optional Currency, and each payment by the Borrower in respect thereof, shall be made by, or, as the case may be, for the account of, such applicable lending office of the Agent as the Agent shall designate. 
  
 5.13. Replacement of Banks. If any Bank (an “Affected
Bank”) (a) makes demand upon the Borrower for (or if the Borrower is otherwise required to pay) amounts pursuant to §§5.5 or 5.6, (b) is unable to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans as a result of a condition described in
§5.4 or (c) is unable to make any Revolving Credit Loan or issue, extend or renew any Letter of Credit as described in §13.2, the Borrower may, within ninety (90) days of receipt of such demand, notice (or the occurrence of such other
event causing the Borrower to be required to pay such compensation or causing §5.4 or §13.2 to be applicable), or default, as the case may be, by notice (a “Replacement Notice”) in writing to the Agent and such Affected Bank (1)
request the Affected Bank to cooperate with the Borrower in obtaining a replacement bank satisfactory to the Agent and the Borrower (the “Replacement Bank”); (2) request the non-Affected Banks to acquire and assume all of the Affected
Bank’s Revolving Credit Loans and Commitment, as provided herein, but none of such Banks shall be under an obligation to do so; or (3) designate a Replacement Bank which is an Eligible Assignee that is reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. If
any satisfactory Replacement Bank shall be obtained, and/or if any one or more of the non-Affected Banks shall agree to acquire and assume all of the Affected Bank’s Loans and Commitment, then such Affected Bank shall assign, in accordance with
§20, all of its Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans, its Revolving Credit Note and other rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents to such Replacement Bank or non-Affected Banks, as the case may be, in
exchange for payment of the principal amount so assigned and all interest and fees accrued on the amount so assigned, plus all other Obligations then due and payable to the Affected Bank; provided, however, that (x) such assignment
shall be without recourse, representation or warranty (except as to the Affected Bank’s authority to convey the transferred interests) and shall be on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to such Affected Bank and such Replacement Bank
and/or non-Affected Banks, as the case may be, and (4) prior to any such assignment, the Borrower shall have paid to such Affected Bank all amounts properly demanded and unreimbursed under §§5.5 and 5.6. Upon the effective date of such
assignment, the Borrower shall issue replacement Note(s) to such Replacement Bank and/or non-Affected Banks, as the case may be, and such institution shall become a “Bank” for all purposes under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. 
  
 6. GUARANTY. 
  
 6.1. Guaranty of Payment and Performance. Each of the Parent
Companies hereby jointly and severally guarantees to the Agent and the Banks, the full and punctual payment 

  

 42 








 
when due (whether at stated maturity, by required pre-payment, by acceleration or otherwise), as well as the performance, of all of the Obligations including
all such which would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay pursuant to §362(a) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code and the operation of §§502(b) and 506(b) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. This Guaranty is an absolute,
unconditional and continuing guaranty of the full and punctual payment and performance of all of the Obligations and not of their collectability only and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that the Agent or any Bank first attempt to
collect any of the Obligations from the Borrower or resort to any collateral security or other means of obtaining payment. Should an Event of Default have occurred and be continuing, the obligations of each Parent Company hereunder with respect to
the Obligations shall, upon demand by the Agent, become immediately due and payable to the Agent, for the benefit of the Banks and the Agent, without demand or notice of any nature, all of which are expressly waived by each such Parent Company.
Payments by any Parent Company hereunder may be required by the Agent on any number of occasions. All payments by the Parent Companies hereunder shall be made to the Agent, in the manner and at the place of payment specified therefor in §5.3.1
hereof, for the account of the Banks and the Agent. 
  
 6.2.
Parent Companies’ Agreement to Pay Enforcement Costs, etc. Each of the Parent Companies further jointly and severally agrees, as the principal obligor and not as a guarantor only, to pay to the Agent, on written demand, all
reasonable costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable legal expenses and either of (but not both) external or internal counsel) incurred or expended by any Agent or any Bank in connection with the Obligations, this Guaranty and the
enforcement thereof, together with interest on amounts recoverable under this §6 from the time when such amounts become due until payment, whether before or after judgment, at the rate of interest for overdue principal set forth in §5.11
hereof, provided that if such interest exceeds the maximum amount permitted to be paid under applicable law, then such interest shall be reduced to such maximum permitted amount. 
  
 6.3. Waivers by the Parent Companies; Banks’ Freedom to Act. Each of the Parent Companies jointly and
severally agrees that the Obligations will be paid and performed strictly in accordance with their respective terms, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights
of the Agent or any Bank with respect thereto. Each of the Parent Companies waives promptness, diligence, presentment, demand, protest, notice of acceptance, notice of any Obligations incurred and all other notices of any kind, all defenses which
may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of the Borrower or any other entity or other Person primarily or secondarily liable
with respect to any of the Obligations, and all suretyship defenses generally. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Parent Companies agrees to the provisions of any instrument evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in
connection with any Obligation and agrees that the obligations of such Parent Company hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (a) the failure of the Agent or any Bank to assert any claim or demand
or to enforce any right or remedy against the Borrower or any other entity or other person primarily or secondarily liable with respect to any of the Obligations; (b) any extensions, compromise, refinancing, consolidation or renewals of any
Obligation; (c) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of any of the Obligations or any rescissions, waivers, compromise, refinancing, consolidation or other amendments or modifications of any of the terms or provisions of this Credit
Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any of the Obligations; (d) the addition, substitution or release of any entity or other person primarily or secondarily liable
for 

  

 43 








 
any Obligation; (e) the adequacy of any rights which the Agent or any Bank may have against any collateral security or other means of obtaining repayment of
any of the Obligations; (f) the impairment of any Collateral securing any of the Obligations, including without limitation the failure to perfect or preserve any rights which the Agent or any Bank might have in such collateral security or the
substitution, exchange, surrender, release, loss or destruction of any such collateral security; or (g) any other act or omission which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Parent Company or otherwise operate as a release or
discharge of such Parent Company (other than the indefeasible payment in full, in cash, of all of the Obligations and the irrevocable termination of the Total Commitment), all of which may be done without notice to the Parent Companies. To the
fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Parent Companies hereby expressly waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of (i) any “one action” or “anti-deficiency” law which would otherwise prevent the Agent or
any Bank from bringing any action, including any claim for a deficiency, or exercising any other right or remedy (including any right of set-off), against such Parent Company before or after the Agent’s or such Bank’s commencement or
completion of any foreclosure action, whether judicially, by exercise of power of sale or otherwise, or (ii) any other law which in any other way would otherwise require any election of remedies by the Agent or any Bank. 
  
 6.4. Unenforceability of Obligations Against Borrower. If for
any reason the Borrower has no legal existence or is under no legal obligation to discharge any of the Obligations, or if any of the Obligations have become irrecoverable from the Borrower by reason of the Borrower’s insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization or by other operation of law or for any other reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full, in cash, of all of the Obligations and the irrevocable termination of the Total Commitment), to the extent permitted by law, this
Guaranty shall nevertheless be binding on the Parent Companies to the same extent as if the Parent Companies at all times had been the principal obligors on all such Obligations. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the
Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, or for any other reason, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other
agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any Obligation shall be immediately due and payable by the Parent Companies. 
  
 6.5. Subrogation; Subordination. 
  
 6.5.1. Postponement of Rights Against Borrower. Until the termination of the Total Commitment and final payment and
performance in full in cash of all of the Revolving Credit Loans and other accrued Obligations: none of the Parent Companies shall exercise any rights against the Borrower arising as a result of payment by any Parent Company hereunder, by way of
subrogation, reimbursement, restitution, contribution or otherwise, and will not prove any claim in competition with the Agent or any Bank in respect of any payment hereunder in any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization case or proceedings of any
nature; none of the Parent Companies will claim any setoff, recoupment or counterclaim against the Borrower in respect of any liability of any Parent Company to the Borrower; and each of the Parent Companies waives any benefit of and any right to
participate in any collateral security which may be held by the Agent or any Bank. 
  
 6.5.2. Subordination. The payment of any amounts due with respect to any indebtedness of the Borrower for money borrowed or
credit received now or hereafter owed to any Parent Company is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash 

  

 44 








 
of all of the Obligations. Each of the Parent Companies agrees that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Parent
Companies will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness of the Borrower to the Parent Companies until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, each of the
Parent Companies shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by each of the Parent Companies as
trustee for the Banks and the Agent and be paid over to the Agent, for the benefit of the Banks and the Agent, on account of the Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of any of the Parent Companies under the other provisions of
this Guaranty. 
  
 6.5.3. Provisions
Supplemental. The provisions of this §6.5 shall be supplemental to and not in derogation of any rights and remedies of the Banks and the Agent under any separate subordination agreement which the Agent may at any time and from time to
time enter into with any of the Parent Companies for the benefit of the Banks and the Agent. 
  
 6.6. Security; Setoff. Each of the Parent Companies grants to the Agent and the Banks, as security for the full and punctual payment and performance of all of the Parent Companies’ obligations
hereunder, a continuing lien on and security interest in all securities or other property belonging to such Parent Company now or hereafter held by the Agent or such Bank and in all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final)
and other sums credited by or due from the Agent or such Bank to such Parent Company or subject to withdrawal by such Parent Company. Regardless of the adequacy of any collateral security or other means of obtaining payment of any of the
Obligations, each of the Agent and the Banks is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time during the continuance of any payment Default or any Event of Default, without notice to any Parent Companies (any such notice being expressly waived
by each of the Parent Companies) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply such deposits and other sums against the obligations of each of the Parent Companies under this Guaranty, whether or not the Agent or such Bank shall
have made any demand under this Guaranty and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured. The Agent and the Banks shall endeavor to give the Borrower prompt notice, in no event later than five (5) days after the application of such
deposits, of such application, provided, however, that failure of the Agent or any Bank to give the Borrower such notice shall not affect any of the Agent’s or Banks’ rights hereunder. 
  
 6.7. Further Assurances. Each of the Parent Companies agrees
that it will from time to time, at the request of the Agent, do all such things and execute all such documents as the Agent may reasonably consider necessary or desirable to give full effect to this Guaranty and to perfect and preserve the rights
and powers of the Banks and the Agent hereunder. Each of the Parent Companies acknowledges and confirms that it has established its own adequate means of obtaining from the Borrower on a continuing basis all information desired by it concerning the
financial condition of the Borrower and that it will look to the Borrower and not to the Agent or any Bank in order for it to keep adequately informed of changes in any of the Borrower’s financial condition. 
  
 6.8. Reinstatement. Notwithstanding any termination of this
Guaranty upon the final payment in full, in cash, of the Obligations, this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, if at any time any payment made or value received with respect to any Obligation is 

  

 45 








 
rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Agent or any Bank upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, or otherwise, all as
though such payment had not been made or value received. 
  
 6.9. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each of the Parent Companies, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Agent and the Banks and their respective successors, and
permitted transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, each Bank may, in accordance with the provisions of §20 and subject to the limitations set forth therein, assign or otherwise transfer this Credit
Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement or note held by it evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with the Obligations, or sell participations in any interest therein, to any other entity or other person, and
such other entity or other person shall thereupon become vested, to the extent set forth in the agreement evidencing such assignment, transfer or participation, with all the rights in respect thereof granted to such Bank herein. None of the Parent
Companies may assign any of its obligations hereunder except as otherwise expressly permitted under this Credit Agreement. 
  
 7. COLLATERAL SECURITY AND GUARANTIES. 
  
 7.1. Security of Borrower. The Obligations shall be secured by a perfected first priority security interest (subject only to
Permitted Liens entitled to priority under applicable law) in all of the assets of the Borrower, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, including, other than with respect to the Restricted Subsidiaries, all of the stock or other equity interests
of each of its domestic Subsidiaries and up to sixty-five percent (65%) of the stock or other equity interests in each of its direct foreign Subsidiaries, pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents to which the Borrower is a party. For purposes
of this §7.1, “domestic Subsidiaries” means those Subsidiaries wherever incorporated or organized so long as the pledge of 100% of their stock or other equity interests by their shareholder(s) does not trigger a tax liability for such
shareholder(s). 
  
 7.2. Guaranties and Security of
Subsidiaries. The Obligations shall also be guaranteed pursuant to the terms of the Guaranty. The obligations of the Guarantors under the Guaranty shall be in turn secured by a perfected first priority security interest (subject only to
Permitted Liens entitled to priority under applicable law) in all of the assets of each such Guarantor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, including, other than with respect to the Restricted Subsidiaries, all of the stock or other equity
interests of each of such Guarantor’s domestic Subsidiaries (other than the pledge by BSHI of the membership interests in the Borrower which shall be limited to 65%), all of the stock or other equity interests of DM Europe Limited, and up to
sixty-five percent (65%) of the stock or other equity interests in each of such Guarantor’s other direct foreign Subsidiaries, pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents to which such Guarantor is a party.

materially adversely affect the properties, assets, financial condition or business of the Parent Companies, the Borrower and their Subsidiaries or materially impair the right of the Parent Companies, the Borrower and their Subsidiaries, considered
as a whole, to carry on business substantially as now conducted by them, or result in any substantial liability not adequately covered by insurance, or for which adequate reserves are not maintained on the consolidated balance sheet of the Parent
Companies, the Borrower and their Subsidiaries, or which question the validity of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any action taken or to be taken pursuant hereto or thereto. 
  
 8.8. No Materially Adverse Contracts, etc. None of the Parent

 8.13. Absence of Financing Statements, etc. Except with
respect to Permitted Liens, there is no financing statement, security agreement, chattel mortgage, real estate mortgage or other document filed or recorded with any filing records, registry or other public office, that purports to cover, affect or

 8.14. Perfection of Security Interest. All filings,
assignments, pledges and deposits of documents or instruments have been made and all other actions have been taken that are necessary or advisable, under applicable law, to establish and perfect(or establish a comparable interest in the case of
Collateral located outside the United States of America) the Agent’s security interest in the Collateral of the Parent Companies, the Borrower or their domestic Subsidiaries. The Collateral and the Agent’s rights with respect to the
Collateral are not subject to any setoff, claims, withholdings or other defenses. A Parent Company, the Borrower or a Subsidiary thereof party to one of the Security Agreements is the owner of the Collateral free from any lien, security interest,
encumbrance and any other claim or demand, except for Permitted Liens. 
  
 8.15. Certain Transactions. Except for arm’s length transactions pursuant to which any of the Parent Companies, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries makes payments in the ordinary course of business upon terms
no less favorable than the Parent Companies, the Borrower or such Subsidiary could obtain from third parties, none of the officers, directors, or employees of any of the Parent Companies, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries is presently a
party to any transaction with any of the Parent Companies, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries (other than for services as employees, officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing
of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any corporation, partnership, trust or other
entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner. 
  

 50 








 8.16. Employee Benefit Plans. 
  
 8.16.1. In General. Except as set forth in
Schedule 8.16 hereto, each Employee Benefit Plan and each Guaranteed Pension Plan has been maintained and operated in compliance in all material respects with the provisions of ERISA and, to the extent applicable, the Code, including
but not limited to the provisions thereunder respecting prohibited transactions and the bonding of fiduciaries and other persons handling plan funds as required by §412 of ERISA. The Borrower has heretofore delivered to the Agent the most
recently completed annual report, Form 5500, with all required attachments, and actuarial statement required to be submitted under §103(d) of ERISA, with respect to each Guaranteed Pension Plan. 
  
 8.16.2. Terminability of Welfare Plans.
No Employee Benefit Plan, which is an employee welfare benefit plan within the meaning of §3(1) or §3(2)(B) of ERISA, provides benefit coverage subsequent to termination of employment, except as required by Title I, Part 6 of ERISA or
the applicable state insurance laws. The Borrower may terminate each such Plan at any time (or at any time subsequent to the expiration of any applicable bargaining agreement) in the discretion of the Borrower without liability to any Person other
than for claims arising prior to termination. 
  
 8.16.3. Guaranteed Pension Plans. Each contribution required to be made to a Guaranteed Pension Plan, whether required to be made to avoid the incurrence of an accumulated funding deficiency, the notice or lien
provisions of §302(f) of ERISA, or otherwise, has been timely made. No waiver of an accumulated funding deficiency or extension of amortization periods has been received with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan, and neither the Borrower nor
any ERISA Affiliate is obligated to or has posted security in connection with an amendment to a Guaranteed Pension Plan pursuant to §307 of ERISA or §401(a)(29) of the Code. No liability to the PBGC (other than required insurance premiums,
all of which have been paid) has been incurred by the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan and there has not been any ERISA Reportable Event (other than an ERISA Reportable Event as to which the requirement of
30 days notice has been waived), or any other event or condition which presents a material risk of termination of any Guaranteed Pension Plan by the PBGC. Based on the latest valuation of each Guaranteed Pension Plan (which in each case occurred
within twelve months of the date of this representation), and on the actuarial methods and assumptions employed for that valuation, the aggregate benefit liabilities of all such Guaranteed Pension Plans within the meaning of §4001 of ERISA did
not exceed the aggregate value of the assets of all such Guaranteed Pension Plans, disregarding for this purpose the benefit liabilities and assets of any Guaranteed Pension Plan with assets in excess of benefit liabilities, by more than $100,000.

  
 8.16.4. Multiemployer Plans.
None of the Parent Companies, the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any material liability (including secondary liability) to any Multiemployer Plan as a result of a complete or partial withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan under
§4201 of ERISA or as a result of a sale of assets described in §4204 of ERISA. None of the Parent Companies, the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has been notified that any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization or insolvent under and


  

 51 








 
within the meaning of §4241 or §4245 of ERISA or is at risk of entering reorganization or becoming insolvent, or that any Multiemployer Plan
intends to terminate or has been terminated under §4041A of ERISA. 
  
 8.17. Use of Proceeds. 
  
 8.17.1. General. The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be used for working capital, capital expenditures, Permitted Acquisitions and general corporate purposes. The Borrower will obtain Letters of Credit
solely for working capital purposes and to secure rental obligations owing to landlords of the Parent Companies, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries. 
  
 8.17.2. Regulations U and X. No portion of any Revolving Credit Loan is to be used, and
no portion of any Letter of Credit is to be obtained, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any “margin security” or “margin stock” as such terms are used in Regulations U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System, 12 C.F.R. Parts 221 and 224. 
  
 8.17.3. Ineligible Securities. No portion of the proceeds of any Revolving Credit Loans is to be used, and no portion of any Letter of Credit is to be obtained, for the purpose of knowingly purchasing, or providing
credit support for the purchase of, during the underwriting or placement period or within 30 days thereafter, any Ineligible Securities underwritten or privately placed by a Section 20 Subsidiary. 
  
 8.18. Environmental Compliance. To the best of the
Borrower’s knowledge: 
  
 (a) none of the
Parent Companies, the Borrower, their Subsidiaries or any operator of the Real Estate or any operations thereon is in violation, or alleged violation, of any judgment, decree, order, law, license, rule or regulation pertaining to environmental
matters, including without limitation, those arising under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 as amended (“CERCLA”), the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (“SARA”), the Federal Clean Water Act, the Federal Clean Air Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, or any state or local statute, regulation, ordinance, order or decree relating to health, safety
or the environment (hereinafter “Environmental Laws”), which violation would have a material adverse effect on the environment or the business, assets or financial condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; 
  
 (b) none of the Parent Companies, the Borrower nor any of
their Subsidiaries has received notice from any third party including, without limitation, any federal, state or local governmental authority, (i) that any one of them has been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(“EPA”) as a potentially responsible party under CERCLA with respect to a site listed on the National Priorities List, 40 C.F.R. Part 300 Appendix B; (ii) that any hazardous waste, as defined by 42 U.S.C. §6903(5), any hazardous

shall occur, any unused portion of the credit hereunder shall forthwith terminate and each of the Banks shall be relieved of all further obligations to make Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower and the Agent shall be relieved of all further
obligations to issue or extend Letters of Credit. If any other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent may and, upon the request of the Majority Banks, shall, by notice to the Borrower, terminate the unused portion of the
credit hereunder, and upon such notice being given such unused portion of the credit hereunder shall terminate immediately and each of the Banks shall be relieved of all further obligations to make Loans and the Agent shall be relieved of all
further obligations to issue or extend Letters of Credit. No termination of the credit hereunder shall relieve the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any of the Obligations. 
  

 72 








 14.3. Remedies. In case any one or more of the Events of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, and whether or not the Banks shall have accelerated the maturity of the Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to §14.1, each Bank, if owed any amount with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations, may, with
the consent of the Majority Banks but not otherwise, proceed to protect and enforce its rights by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any instrument pursuant to which the Obligations to such Bank are evidenced, including as permitted by applicable law the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, and, if
such amount shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, proceed to enforce the payment thereof or any other legal or equitable right of such Bank. No remedy herein conferred upon any Bank or the Agent or the holder of any Revolving Credit
Note or purchaser of any Letter of Credit Participation is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law. 
  
 14.4. Distribution of Collateral Proceeds. In the event that, following the occurrence or during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the Agent or any Bank, as the case may be, receives any monies in connection
with the enforcement of any the Security Documents, or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any of the Collateral, such monies shall be distributed for application as follows: 
  
 (a) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of the Agent for or in respect of
all reasonable costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been incurred or sustained by the Agent in connection with the collection of such monies by the Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Agent of all or any
of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Agent under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in respect of the Collateral or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity to the Agent against any taxes or liens
which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of the Agent to such monies; 
  
 (b) Second, to all other Obligations in such order or preference as the Majority Banks may determine; provided, however,
that (i) distributions shall be made (A) pari passu among Obligations with respect to the Agent’s fee payable pursuant to §5.2 and all other Obligations and (B) with respect to each type of Obligation owing to the Banks, such
as interest, principal, fees and expenses, among the Banks pro rata, and (ii) the Agent may in its discretion make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not then due and payable; 
  
 (c) Third, upon payment and satisfaction in full or other
provisions for payment in full satisfactory to the Banks and the Agent of all of the Obligations, to the payment of any obligations required to be paid pursuant to §9-504(1)(c) of the Uniform Commercial Code of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts; and 
  
 (d) Fourth, the excess, if
any, shall be returned to the Borrower or to such other Persons as are entitled thereto. 
  
 14.5. Judgment Currency. If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court or obtaining an order enforcing a judgment, it becomes necessary to convert any amount due under 

  

 73 








 
this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents in Dollars (hereinafter in this §14.5 called the “first currency”) into any other currency
(hereinafter in this §14.5 called the “second currency”), then the conversion shall be made at the Agent’s spot rate of exchange for buying the first currency with the second currency prevailing at the Agent’s close of
business on the Business Day next preceding the day on which the judgment is given or (as the case may be) the order is made. Any payment made to the Agent or any Bank pursuant to this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents in the second
currency shall constitute a discharge of the obligations of the Borrower to pay to the Agent and the Banks any amount originally due to the Agent and the Banks in the first currency under the Loan Documents only to the extent of the amount of the
first currency which the Agent and each of the Banks is able, on the date of the receipt by it of such payment in any second currency, to purchase, in accordance with the Agent’s and such Bank’s normal banking procedures, with the amount
of such second currency so received. If the amount of the first currency falls short of the amount originally due to the Agent and the Banks in the first currency under the Loan Documents, the Borrower hereby agrees that it will indemnify the Agent
and each of the Banks against and save the Agent and each of the Banks harmless from any shortfall so arising. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation of the Borrower separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Credit
Agreement, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum or sums in respect of amounts due to the Agent or any Bank under this
Credit Agreement or under any such judgment or order and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any such shortfall shall be deemed to constitute a loss suffered by the Agent and each such Bank, as the case may be, and the Borrower shall not be entitled
to require any proof or evidence of any actual loss. The covenant contained in this §14.5 shall survive the payment in full of all of the other obligations of the Borrower under this Credit Agreement. 
  
 15. SETOFF. 
  
 Regardless of the adequacy of any collateral, during the continuance of any
Event of Default, any deposits or other sums credited by or due from any of the Banks to the Borrower and any securities or other property of the Borrower in the possession of such Bank may be applied to or set off by such Bank against the payment
of Obligations and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, of the Borrower to such Bank. Each of the Banks agrees with each other Bank that (a) if an amount
to be set off is to be applied to Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Bank, other than Indebtedness evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes held by such Bank or constituting Reimbursement Obligations owed to such Bank, such amount shall be applied
ratably to such other Indebtedness and to the Indebtedness evidenced by all such Revolving Credit Notes held by such Bank or constituting Reimbursement Obligations owed to such Bank, and (b) if such Bank shall receive from the Borrower, whether by
voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, counterclaim, cross action, enforcement of the claim evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes held by, or constituting Reimbursement Obligations owed to, such Bank by proceedings against the
Borrower at law or in equity or by proof thereof in bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, receivership or similar proceedings, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Revolving Credit Note or Notes held by, or Reimbursement
Obligations owed to, such Bank any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Banks with respect to the Revolving Credit Notes held by, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all of the Banks, such Bank will make
such disposition and arrangements with the other Banks with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Bank receiving in respect of the
Revolving Credit Notes held by it or 

  

 74 








 
Reimbursement Obligations owed it, its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Credit Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess
payment is thereafter recovered from such Bank, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. 
  
 16. THE AGENT. 
  
 16.1. Authorization. 
  
 (a) Each of the Banks hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as Agent hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents. The Agent is authorized to take such action on behalf of each of the Banks and to exercise all such powers as are hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents and any related documents delegated to the Agent, together with such
powers as are reasonably incident thereto, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the Agent. 
  
 (b) The relationship between the Agent and each of the Banks is that of an independent contractor. The use
of the term “Agent” is for convenience only and is used to describe, as a form of convention, the independent contractual relationship between the Agent and each of the Banks. Nothing contained in this Credit Agreement nor the other
Loan Documents shall be construed to create an agency, trust or other fiduciary relationship between the Agent and any of the Banks. 
  
 (c) As an independent contractor empowered by the Banks to exercise certain rights and perform certain duties and responsibilities
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Agent is nevertheless a “representative” of the Banks, as that term is defined in Article 1 of the Uniform Commercial Code, for purposes of actions for the benefit of the Banks and the
Agent with respect to all collateral security and guaranties contemplated by the Loan Documents. Such actions include the designation of the Agent as “secured party”, “mortgagee” or the like on all financing
statements and other documents and instruments, whether recorded or otherwise, relating to the attachment, perfection, priority or enforcement of any security interests, mortgages or deeds of trust in collateral security intended to secure the
payment or performance of any of the Obligations, all for the benefit of the Banks and the Agent. 
  
 (d) Each Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Banks with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated
therewith, and each Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Agent in this §16 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or
proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent” as used in this §16 included the Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or
omissions (and including any Affiliates of such Issuing Bank and the officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys-in-fact of such Issuing Bank and any Affiliates), and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such Issuing Bank.

  
 16.2. Employees and Agents. The Agent may
exercise its powers and execute its duties by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Credit Agreement and 

  

 75 








 
the other Loan Documents. The Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as the Agent in its sole discretion may reasonably determine, and all reasonable
fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the Borrower. 
  
 16.3. No Liability. Neither the Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent or employee thereof, shall be liable for any waiver, consent
or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error
of judgment whatsoever, except that the Agent or such other Person, as the case may be, may be liable for losses due to its willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon
any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation reasonably believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected
by the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Banks as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it
shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action; provided that the Agent shall not be required to take
any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,
under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Majority Banks (or such greater number of Banks as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or
failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Banks. Except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall have no duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information
relating to the Borrower or any of its respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and
until notice describing such Default is given to the Agent by the Borrower or a Bank. 
  
 16.4. No Representations. 
  
 16.4.1. General. The Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability of this Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Notes, the Letters of Credit, any of the other Loan
Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Revolving Credit Notes, or for the value of any such collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or collectability of any such
amounts owing with respect to the Revolving Credit Notes, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on
behalf of any of the Parent Companies, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any instrument at any
time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Revolving Credit Notes or to inspect any of the properties, books or records of any of the Parent Companies, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries. The Agent shall not be
bound to ascertain whether any notice, 

  

 76 








 
consent, waiver or request delivered to it by the Borrower or any holder of any of the Revolving Credit Notes shall have been duly authorized or is true,
accurate and complete. The Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to the Banks, with respect to the credit worthiness or financial conditions of the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision
to enter into this Credit Agreement. 
  
 16.4.2. Closing Documentation, etc. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions set forth in §12, each Bank that has executed this Credit Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or
accepted, or to be satisfied with, each document and matter either sent, or made available, by the Agent to such Bank for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or
satisfactory to such Bank, unless an officer of the Agent active upon the Borrower’s account shall have received notice from such Bank prior to the Closing Date specifying such Bank’s objection thereto and such objection shall not have
been withdrawn by notice to the Agent to such effect on or prior to the Closing Date. 
  
 16.5. Payments. 
  
 16.5.1. Payments to Agent. A payment by the Borrower to the Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Bank shall constitute a payment to such Bank. The Agent agrees
promptly to distribute to each Bank such Bank’s pro rata share of payments received by the Agent for the account of the Banks except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. 
  
 16.5.2. Distribution by Agent. If in the
opinion of the Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Revolving Credit Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its
right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such
distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court. 
  
 16.5.3. Delinquent Banks. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any Bank that fails (a) to make available to the Agent its pro rata share of any Revolving Credit Loan or to purchase any Letter of Credit
Participation or (b) to comply with the provisions of §15 with respect to making dispositions and arrangements with the other Banks, where such Bank’s share of any payment received, whether by setoff or otherwise, is in excess of its
pro rata share of such payments due and payable to all of the Banks, in each case as, when and to the full extent required by the provisions of this Credit Agreement, shall be deemed delinquent (a “Delinquent Bank”) and shall
be deemed a Delinquent Bank until such time as such delinquency is satisfied. A Delinquent Bank shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower, whether on account of 

  

 77 








 
outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining nondelinquent Banks for application to,
and reduction of, their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations. The Delinquent Bank hereby authorizes the Agent to distribute such payments to the nondelinquent Banks
in proportion to their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations. A Delinquent Bank shall be deemed to have satisfied in full a delinquency when and if, as a result of
application of the assigned payments to all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations of the nondelinquent Banks, the Banks’ respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and
Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency. 
  
 16.5.4. Holders of Notes. The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Revolving Credit Note
or the purchaser of any Letter of Credit Participation as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall have been furnished in writing with a different name by such payee or by a subsequent holder, assignee or
transferee. 
  
 16.5.5. Indemnity.
The Banks ratably agree hereby to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and its Affiliates (including any of the officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys-in-fact of any thereof) from and against any and all claims, actions and suits
(whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs, expenses (including any expenses for which the Agent or such Affiliate has not been reimbursed by the Borrower as required by §17), and liabilities of every nature and character arising
out of or related to this Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or the Agent’s actions taken hereunder or thereunder, except to the
extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. 
  
 16.5.6. Agent as Bank. In its individual capacity, Bank of America shall have the same obligations and the same rights,
powers and privileges in respect to its Commitment and the Revolving Credit Loans made by it, and as the holder of any of the Revolving Credit Notes and as the purchaser of any Letter of Credit Participations, as it would have were it not also the
Agent. 
  
 16.6. Resignation. The Agent may resign
at any time by giving sixty (60) days prior written notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, such successor Agent shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring
Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a financial institution having a rating of not less than A or its equivalent by Standard & Poor’s
Corporation. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent. 
  

 78 








 Any resignation by Bank of America as Agent pursuant to this §16.9 shall also constitute its
resignation as Issuing Bank to the extent that Bank of America is acting in such capacity at such time. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank, (b) the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor Issuing Bank
shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring
Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit. 
  
 16.7.
Notification of Defaults and Events of Default. Each Bank hereby agrees that, upon learning of the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, it shall promptly notify the Agent thereof. The Agent hereby agrees that upon receipt of any
notice under this §16.10 it shall promptly notify the other Banks of the existence of such Default or Event of Default. 
  
 16.8. Duties in the Case of Enforcement. In case one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not
acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, the Agent shall, if (a) so requested by the Majority Banks and (b) the Banks have provided to the Agent such additional indemnities and assurances against expenses and liabilities as the Agent may
reasonably request, proceed to enforce the provisions of the Security Documents authorizing the sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral and exercise all or any such other legal and equitable and other rights or remedies as it
may have in respect of such Collateral. The Majority Banks may direct the Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such sale or other disposition, the Banks hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the Agent, harmless from all
liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions, provided that the Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Agent reasonably believes the Agent’s compliance
with such direction to be unlawful or commercially unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction. 
  
 17. EXPENSES AND INDEMNIFICATION. 
  
 17.1. Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay (a) the reasonable costs of producing and reproducing this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other agreements and instruments mentioned herein,
(b) any taxes (including any interest and penalties in respect thereto) payable by the Agent, its Affiliates or any of the Banks (other than taxes based upon the Agent’s or any Bank’s net income) on or with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Credit Agreement (the Borrower hereby agreeing to indemnify the Agent and each Bank with respect thereto), (c) the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent’s Special Counsel or any local counsel to the Agent
incurred in connection with the preparation, syndication, administration or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, each closing hereunder, any amendments, modifications, approvals, consents or waivers hereto or
hereunder, or the cancellation of any Loan Document upon payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations or pursuant to any terms of such Loan Document for providing for such cancellation, (d) the fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent or
any of its Affiliates incurred by the Agent or such Affiliate in connection with any commercial finance examination or the preparation, syndication, administration or interpretation of the Loan

costs, expenses and bank charges, including bank charges for returned checks, incurred by the Agent in establishing, maintaining or handling agency accounts, lock box accounts and other accounts for the collection of any of the Collateral, (f) all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by an Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (g) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including without
limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, which attorneys may be employees of any Bank or the Agent, and reasonable consulting, accounting, appraisal, investment banking and similar professional fees and charges) incurred by any Bank or
the Agent in connection with (i) the enforcement of or preservation of rights under any of the Loan Documents against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the administration thereof after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default
(including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiation) and (ii) any litigation, proceeding or dispute whether arising hereunder or otherwise, in any way related to any Bank’s or the Agent’s
relationship with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries except to the extent that any such litigation, proceeding or dispute is directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Bank or the Agent, as the case may be, and (g)
all reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of any Bank or the Agent incurred in connection with UCC and intellectual property searches, UCC and intellectual property filings or mortgage recordings. 
  
 17.2. Indemnification. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the Agent, its affiliates and the Banks from and against any and all claims, actions and suits whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages and expenses of every nature and character
arising out of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby including, without limitation, (a) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of the proceeds of any of the
Revolving Credit Loans or Letters of Credit, (b) the reversal or withdrawal of any provisional credits granted by the Agent upon the transfer of funds from lock box, bank agency or concentration accounts or in connection with the provisional
honoring of checks or other items, (c) any actual or alleged infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark, service mark or similar right of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries comprised in the Collateral, (d) the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries entering into or performing this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or (e) with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their respective properties and assets, the violation of any Environmental Law, the

(including, but not limited to, claims with respect to wrongful death, personal injury or damage to property), in each case including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel
incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding except to the extent that any of the foregoing are directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the otherwise indemnified party. In litigation, or
the preparation therefor, each of the Banks, each Issuing Bank, the Agent and any of their Affiliates shall be entitled to select their own counsel and, in addition to the foregoing indemnity, the Borrower agrees to pay promptly the reasonable fees
and expenses of such counsel. If, and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this §17.2 are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of such
obligations which is permissible under applicable law. 
  

 80 








 17.3. Survival. The covenants contained in this §17 shall survive payment or
satisfaction in full of all other Obligations. 
  
 18.
TREATMENT OF CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. 
  
 18.1. Confidentiality. Each of the Banks and the Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and each of its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and representatives, to use reasonable precautions to keep confidential, in
accordance with their customary procedures for handling confidential information of the same nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices, any non-public information supplied to it by any of the Parent Companies, the Borrower or
any of their Subsidiaries pursuant to this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, provided that nothing herein shall limit the disclosure of any such information (a) after such information shall have become public other than through a
violation of this §18, (b) to the extent required by statute, rule, regulation or judicial process, (c) to counsel for any of the Banks or the Agent, (d) to bank examiners or any other regulatory authority having jurisdiction over any Bank or
the Agent, or to auditors or accountants, (e) to the Agent, any Bank or any affiliate of the foregoing, (f) in connection with any litigation to which any one or more of the Banks, the Agent or any affiliate of the Agent or any Bank is a party, or
in connection with the enforcement of rights or remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (g) to a Subsidiary or affiliate of such Bank or (h) to any assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) so long as such
assignee or participant agrees to be bound by the provisions of §20.6. Moreover, each of the Agent, the Banks and any affiliate of the Agent or any Bank is hereby expressly permitted by any Parent Company and the Borrower to refer to any of the
Parent Companies, the Borrower and their Subsidiaries in connection with any advertising, promotion or marketing undertaken by the Agent, such Bank or such affiliate and, for such purpose, the Agent, such Bank or such affiliate may utilize any trade
name, trademark, logo or other distinctive symbol associated with any of the Parent Companies, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their businesses. 
  
 18.2. Prior Notification. Unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each of the Banks
and the Agent shall, prior to disclosure thereof, notify the Borrower of any request for disclosure of any such non-public information by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an
examination of the financial condition of such Bank by such governmental agency) or pursuant to legal process. 
  
 18.3. Other. In no event shall any Bank or the Agent be obligated or required to return any materials furnished to it or any affiliate
thereof by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. The obligations of each Bank under this §18 shall supersede and replace the obligations of such Bank under any confidentiality letter in respect of this financing signed and delivered by such
Bank to the Borrower prior to the date hereof and shall be binding upon any assignee of, or purchaser of any participation in, any interest in any of the Revolving Credit Loans or Reimbursement Obligations from any Bank. 
  
 19. SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS, ETC. 
  
 All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein, in the
Revolving Credit Notes, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any documents or other papers delivered by or on behalf of any of the Parent Companies, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries pursuant hereto shall be deemed to have been relied
upon by the Banks and the Agent, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any of them, and shall survive 

  

 81 








 
the making by the Banks of any of the Revolving Credit Loans and the issuance or extension of any Letters of Credit, as herein contemplated, and shall
continue in full force and effect so long as any Letter of Credit or any amount due under this Credit Agreement or the Revolving Credit Notes or any of the other Loan Documents remains outstanding or any Bank has any obligation to make any Revolving
Credit Loans or the Agent has any obligation to issue or extend any Letter of Credit, and for such further time as may be otherwise expressly specified in this Credit Agreement. All statements contained in any certificate or other paper delivered to
any Bank or the Agent at any time by or on behalf of any of the Parent Companies, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and warranties by
such Parent Company, the Borrower or such Subsidiary hereunder.

 20.1. Conditions to Assignment by Banks. Except as provided herein, each Bank may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement (including
all or a portion of its Commitment Percentage and Commitment and the same portion of the Revolving Credit Loans at the time owing to it, the Revolving Credit Notes held by it and its participating interest in the risk relating to any Letters of
Credit); provided that (a) each of the Agent and, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall have given its prior written consent to such assignment, which consent, in the case of the Borrower, will
not be unreasonably withheld, (b) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, (c) each assignment shall be in an amount that is a
whole multiple of $5,000,000 (or such smaller amount which represents the assigning Bank’s entire Commitment) and (d) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for recording in the Register (as hereinafter defined),
an Assignment and Assumption, substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto (an “Assignment and Assumption”), together with any Revolving Credit Notes subject to such assignment. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and
recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, which effective date shall be at least five (5) Business Days after the execution thereof, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the
extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder, and (ii) the assigning Bank shall, to the extent provided in such assignment and upon payment to the Agent of the registration fee referred to in
§20.3, be released from its obligations under this Credit Agreement. 
  
 20.2. Certain Representations and Warranties; Limitations; Covenants. By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the parties to the assignment thereunder confirm to and agree with each
other and the other parties hereto as follows: 
  
 (a) other than the representation and warranty that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim, the assigning Bank makes no representation or warranty, express or implied,
and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Credit Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Credit
Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or the attachment, perfection or priority of any security interest or mortgage, 
  

 82 








 (b) the assigning Bank makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility
with respect to the financial condition of the Parent Companies, the Borrower and their Subsidiaries or any other Person primarily or secondarily liable in respect of any of the Obligations, or the performance or observance by the Parent Companies,
the Borrower and their Subsidiaries or any other Person primarily or secondarily liable in respect of any of the Obligations of any of their obligations under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or
document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; 
  
 (c) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Credit Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in §8.4 and §9.4 and such other documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; 
  
 (d) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the assigning Bank, the Agent or any other Bank and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Credit Agreement; 
  
 (e) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee; 
  
 (f) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take
such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto;

  
 (g) such assignee agrees that it will perform
in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Bank; 
  
 (h) such assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; and 
  
 (i) such assignee acknowledges that it has made arrangements
with the assigning Bank satisfactory to such assignee with respect to its pro rata share of Letter of Credit Fees in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit. 
  
 20.3. Register. The Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a
register or similar list (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks and the Commitment Percentage of, and principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans owing to and Letter of Credit Participations
purchased by, the Banks from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Bank hereunder
for all purposes of this Credit Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the Banks at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon each such recordation, the assigning Bank agrees
to pay to the Agent a registration fee in the sum of $3,500. 
  
 20.4. New Notes. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by the parties to such assignment, together with each Revolving Credit Note subject to such assignment, 

  

 83 








 
the Agent shall (a) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (b) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks (other than
the assigning Bank). Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Agent, in exchange for each surrendered Revolving Credit Note, a new Revolving Credit Note to the
order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the amount assumed by such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption and, if the assigning Bank has retained some portion of its obligations hereunder, a new Revolving Credit
Note to the order of the assigning Bank in an amount equal to the amount retained by it hereunder. Such new Revolving Credit Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Revolving Credit Notes, shall be in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the surrendered Revolving Credit Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the assigned Revolving Credit
Notes. The surrendered Revolving Credit Notes shall be cancelled and returned to the Borrower. 
  
 20.5. Participations. Each Bank may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or a portion of such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement and the other
Loan Documents; provided that (a) any such sale or participation shall not affect the rights and duties of the selling Bank hereunder to the Borrower and (b) the only rights granted to the participant pursuant to such participation
arrangements with respect to waivers, amendments or modifications of the Loan Documents shall be the rights to approve waivers, amendments or modifications that would reduce the principal of or the interest rate on any Revolving Credit Loans, extend
the term or increase the amount of the Commitment of such Bank as it relates to such participant, reduce the amount of any Commitment Fees or Letter of Credit Fees to which such participant is entitled or extend any regularly scheduled payment date
for principal or interest. 
  
 20.6. Disclosure. The
Borrower agrees that in addition to disclosures made in accordance with standard and customary banking practices any Bank may disclose information obtained by such Bank pursuant to this Credit Agreement to assignees or participants and potential
assignees or participants hereunder; provided that such assignees or participants or potential assignees or participants shall agree (a) to treat in confidence such information unless such information otherwise becomes public knowledge, (b)
not to disclose such information to a third party, except as required by law or legal process and (c) not to make use of such information for purposes of transactions unrelated to such contemplated assignment or participation. For purposes of this
§20.6 an assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant may include a counterparty with whom such Bank has entered into or potentially might enter into a derivative contract referenced to credit or other risks or events arising
under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
  
 20.7. Assignee or Participant Affiliated with the Borrower. If any assignee Bank is an Affiliate of the Borrower, then any such assignee Bank shall have no right to vote as a Bank hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents for purposes of granting consents or waivers or for purposes of agreeing to amendments or other modifications to any of the Loan Documents or for purposes of making requests to the Agent pursuant to §14.1 or §14.2, and the
determination of the Majority Banks shall for all purposes of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents be made without regard to such assignee Bank’s interest in any of the Revolving Credit Loans or Reimbursement Obligations. If any
Bank sells a participating interest in any of the Revolving Credit Loans or Reimbursement Obligations to a participant, and such participant is the Borrower or an Affiliate of the Borrower, then such transferor Bank shall promptly notify the Agent
of the sale of such participation. A transferor Bank shall have no right 

  

 84 








 
to vote as a Bank hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for purposes of granting consents or waivers or for purposes of agreeing to amendments
or modifications to any of the Loan Documents or for purposes of making requests to the Agent pursuant to §14.1 or §14.2 to the extent that such participation is beneficially owned by the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower, and the
determination of the Majority Banks shall for all purposes of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents be made without regard to the interest of such transferor Bank in the Revolving Credit Loans or Reimbursement Obligations to the extent
of such participation. 
  
 20.8. Miscellaneous Assignment
Provisions. Any assigning Bank shall retain its rights to be indemnified pursuant to §17 with respect to any claims or actions arising prior to the date of such assignment. If any assignee Bank is not incorporated under the laws of the
United States of America or any state thereof, it shall, prior to the date on which any interest or fees are payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for its account, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent certification as to its
exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Anything contained in this §20 to the contrary notwithstanding, any Bank may at any time pledge all or any portion of its interest and rights under this Credit
Agreement (including all or any portion of its Revolving Credit Notes) to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under §4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. §341. No such pledge or the enforcement thereof shall release the
pledgor Bank from its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include
electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to
the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act. 
  
 20.9. Assignment by
Borrower. The Borrower shall not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under any of the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each of the Banks. 
  
 21. NOTICES, ETC. 
  
 Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Credit Agreement, all notices and other communications made or required to be given pursuant to this Credit
Agreement or the Revolving Credit Notes or any Letter of Credit Applications shall be in writing and shall be delivered in hand, mailed by United States registered or certified first class mail, postage prepaid, sent by overnight courier, or sent by
telegraph, telecopy, facsimile or telex and confirmed by delivery via courier or postal service, addressed as follows: 
  
 (a) if to the Borrower, at The Prudential Tower, 800 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02199, Attention: Brian Roberts, Chief Financial Officer,
or at such other address for notice as the Borrower shall last have furnished in writing to the Person giving the notice; 
  
 (b) if to the Agent, at 100 Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, USA, Attention: Christopher Allen, Senior Vice President, or such
other address for notice as the Agent shall last have furnished in writing to the Person giving the notice; and 
  

 85 








 (c) if to any Bank, at such Bank’s address set forth on Schedule 1
hereto, or such other address for notice as such Bank shall have last furnished in writing to the Person giving the notice. 
  
 Any such notice or demand shall be deemed to have been duly given or made and to have become effective (i) if delivered by hand, overnight courier or
facsimile to a responsible officer of the party to which it is directed, at the time of the receipt thereof by such officer or the sending of such facsimile and (ii) if sent by registered or certified first-class mail, postage prepaid, on the third
Business Day following the mailing thereof. 
  
 22. GOVERNING
LAW. 
  
 THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT AND, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE
SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED THEREIN, EACH OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS ARE CONTRACTS UNDER THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS AND SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF SAID COMMONWEALTH OF
MASSACHUSETTS (EXCLUDING THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW). THE BORROWER AGREES THAT ANY SUIT FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF
MASSACHUSETTS OR ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING THEREIN AND CONSENTS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURT AND SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT BEING MADE UPON THE BORROWER BY MAIL AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN §20. THE BORROWER HEREBY
WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT OR ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH SUIT IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT. 
  
 23. HEADINGS. 
  
 The captions in this Credit Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit the provisions hereof. 
  
 24. COUNTERPARTS. 
  
 This Credit Agreement and any amendment hereof may be executed in several
counterparts and by each party on a separate counterpart, each of which when executed and delivered shall be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. In proving this Credit Agreement it shall not be necessary to
produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. 
  
 25. ENTIRE AGREEMENT, ETC. 
  
 The Loan Documents and any other documents executed in connection herewith or therewith express the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Neither this Credit
Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated, except as provided in §28. 
  

 86 








 26. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. 
  
 Each of the Parent Companies, the Borrower, the Agent and the Banks hereby waives their respective right to a jury trial
with respect to any action or claim arising out of any dispute in connection with this Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Notes or any of the other Loan Documents, any rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder or the performance of such
rights and obligations. Except as prohibited by law, each of the Parent Companies, the Borrower hereby waives any right it may have to claim or recover in any litigation referred to in the preceding sentence any special, exemplary, punitive or
consequential damages or any damages other than, or in addition to, actual damages. The Borrower (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any Bank or the Agent has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such Bank or the Agent
would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waivers and (b) acknowledges that the Agent and the Banks have been induced to enter into this Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party by, among other
things, the waivers and certifications contained herein. 
  
 27.
CONSENTS, AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS, ETC. 
  
 Any consent or
approval required or permitted by this Credit Agreement to be given by the Banks may be given, and any term of this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument related hereto or mentioned herein may be amended, and the
performance or observance by any of the Parent Companies, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries of any terms of this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or such other instrument or the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be
waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Borrower and the written consent of the Majority Banks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rate of
interest on the Revolving Credit Notes (other than interest accruing pursuant to §5.11 following the effective date of any waiver by the Majority Banks of the Default or Event of Default relating thereto) or the amount of the Commitment Fee or
Letter of Credit Fees may not be decreased without the written consent of each Bank affected thereby; the amount of the Commitments may not be increased without the written consent of the Borrower and of each Bank affected thereby; the Revolving
Credit Loan Maturity Date may not be postponed without the written consent of each Bank affected thereby; this §27 and the definition of Majority Banks may not be amended, without the written consent of all of the Banks; and the amount of the
Agent’s Fee or any Letter of Credit Fees payable for the Agent’s account and §16 may not be amended without the written consent of the Agent. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right
consequent thereon. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Agent or any Bank in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. No notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle
the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
  
 28. USURY. 
  
 All
agreements between the Borrower and the Agent and the Banks are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of the Revolving Credit Notes or otherwise, shall the amount
paid or agreed to be paid to the Agent or any Bank for the use or the forbearance of the Indebtedness represented by any 

  

 87 








 
Revolving Credit Note exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law. In this regard, it is expressly agreed that it is the intent of the Borrower, the
Agent and the Banks, in the execution, delivery and acceptance of the Revolving Credit Notes, to contract in strict compliance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. If, under any circumstances whatsoever, performance or fulfillment of
any provision of any of the Revolving Credit Notes or any of the other Loan Documents at the time such provision is to be performed or fulfilled shall involve exceeding the limit of validity prescribed by applicable law, then the obligation so to be
performed or fulfilled shall be reduced automatically to the limits of such validity, and if under any circumstances whatsoever the Agent or any Banks should ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount
which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes and not to the payment of interest. The provisions of this §28 shall control every other provision of this
Credit Agreement and each of the Revolving Credit Notes. 
  
 29.
SEVERABILITY. 
  
 The provisions of this Credit
Agreement are severable and if any one clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof,
in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Credit Agreement in any jurisdiction. 
  
 30. USA PATRIOT ACT NOTICE. 
  
 Each Bank, each Issuing Bank and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Bank or any Issuing Bank) hereby notifies
the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which
information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Bank, such Issuing Bank or the Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act. 
  
 31. TRANSITIONAL ARRANGEMENTS. 
  
 This Credit Agreement shall on the Closing Date amend and restate the
Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety, except as provided in this §31. On the Closing Date the rights and obligations of the parties evidenced by the Existing Credit Agreement shall be evidenced by the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, the “Revolving Credit Loans” as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement shall be converted to Revolving Credit Loans as defined herein, each “Letter of Credit” issued by Bank of America for the account of the Borrower
prior to the Closing Date and outstanding on the Closing Date shall, for purposes of this Credit Agreement, be a Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank hereunder.

DIGITAS LLC 
  
 FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED 
  
 REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE 
  

			
	$30,000,000	 	August 31, 2005

  
 FOR VALUE
RECEIVED, the undersigned DIGITAS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., successor by merger to Fleet National Bank, a national banking
association (the “Bank”) at the Agent’s Head Office at 100 Federal Street, Boston, MA 02110: 
  
 (a) prior to or on the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below), the principal amount of
Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000) or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans advanced by the Bank to the Borrower pursuant to the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of August 31, 2005 (as
amended, modified, supplemented and/or restated) and in effect from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the Parent Companies (as defined therein), the Bank and other parties thereto; 
  
 (b) the principal outstanding hereunder from time to time at
the times provided in the Credit Agreement; and 
  
 (c) interest on the principal balance hereof from time to time outstanding from the Closing Date under the Credit Agreement through and including the maturity date hereof at the times and at the rate provided in the Credit Agreement.

  
 This first amended and restated Revolving Credit Note (this
“Note”) constitutes the amendment and restatement in its entirety of the Revolving Credit Note, dated as of July 25, 2000, issued by the Borrower in favor of the Bank (the “Prior Note”), and this Note is in substitution therefore
and an amendment and replacement thereof. Nothing herein or in any other document shall be construed to constitute payment of the prior Note or to release or terminate any guaranty, lien, pledge or other security interest in favor of the Bank.

  
 This Note evidences borrowings under and has been issued by
the Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Bank and any holder hereof is entitled to the benefits of the Credit Agreement, the Security Documents and the other Loan Documents, and may enforce the agreements of the
Borrower contained therein, and any holder hereof may exercise the respective remedies provided for thereby or otherwise available in respect thereof, all in accordance with the respective terms thereof. All capitalized terms used in this Note and
not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings herein as in the Credit Agreement. 







 The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Bank to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the
Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal of this Note, an appropriate notation on the grid attached to this Note, or the continuation of such grid, or any other similar record, including
computer records, reflecting the making of such Revolving Credit Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans set forth on the grid attached to this Note, or the continuation of such
grid, or any other similar record, including computer records, maintained by the Bank with respect to any Revolving Credit Loans shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to the Bank, but the
failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on any such grid, continuation or other record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under the Credit Agreement to make payments of principal
of and interest on this Note when due. 
  
 The Borrower has the
right in certain circumstances and the obligation under certain other circumstances to prepay the whole or part of the principal of this Note on the terms and conditions specified in the Credit Agreement. 
  
 If any one or more of the Events of Default shall occur, the entire unpaid
principal amount of this Note and all of the unpaid interest accrued thereon may become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Credit Agreement. 
  
 No delay or omission on the part of the Bank or any holder hereof in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a
waiver of such right or of any other rights of the Bank or such holder, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar or waiver of the same or any other right on any further occasion. 
  
 The Borrower and every endorser and guarantor of this Note or the obligation
represented hereby waives presentment, demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note, and assents to any extension or postponement of the time
of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of collateral and to the addition or release of any other party or person primarily or secondarily liable. 
  
 THIS NOTE AND THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER HEREUNDER SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAW OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS (EXCLUDING THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW). THE BORROWER AGREES THAT ANY SUIT FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS NOTE MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS OR
ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING THEREIN AND 

  

 -2- 








 
THE CONSENT TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURT AND THE SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT BEING MADE UPON THE BORROWER BY MAIL AT THE ADDRESS
SPECIFIED IN §20 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT OR ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH SUIT IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT. 
  
 This Note shall be deemed to take effect as a sealed instrument under the
laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY 
  
 GUARANTY, DATED AS OF AUGUST 31, 2005 BY DIGITAS (EUROPE) LLC, A DELAWARE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (“DIGITAS EUROPE”), MODEM MEDIA, INC., A
DELAWARE CORPORATION, AND DIGITAS SECURITY CORP, A DELAWARE CORPORATION (EACH INDIVIDUALLY A “GUARANTOR”, TOGETHER THE “GUARANTORS”) IN FAVOR OF BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., SUCCESSOR BY MERGER TO FLEET NATIONAL BANK, A NATIONAL
BANKING ASSOCIATION, AS AGENT (HEREINAFTER, IN SUCH CAPACITY, THE “AGENT”) FOR ITSELF AND OTHER LENDING INSTITUTIONS (HEREINAFTER, COLLECTIVELY, THE “BANKS”) WHICH ARE OR MAY BECOME PARTIES TO THAT CERTAIN AMENDED AND
RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF AUGUST 31, 2005 (AS FURTHER AMENDED AND/OR RESTATED AND IN EFFECT FROM TIME TO TIME, THE “CREDIT AGREEMENT”), AMONG THE DIGITAS LLC (THE “COMPANY”), THE PARENT COMPANIES (AS DEFINED
THEREIN), THE BANKS AND THE AGENT. 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company and
the Guarantors are members of a group of related corporations, the success of any one of which is dependent in part of the success of the other members of such group; 
  
 WHEREAS, each Guarantor expects to receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the extensions of credit to the
Company by the Banks pursuant to the Credit Agreement (which benefits are hereby acknowledged); 
  
 WHEREAS, Digitas International, Inc., Sansome and Digitas Europe (the “Existing Guarantors”) are party to that certain Guaranty, dated as of
July 25, 2000 (as amended and in effect from time to time, the “Existing Guaranty”) pursuant to which the Existing Guarantors guaranteed to the Banks and Fleet National Bank, as Agent the Company’s Obligations under and as defined in
the Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2000 (as amended and in effect from time to time, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Parent Companies (as defined therein), the Agent and the Banks;

  
 WHEREAS, the Company, the Existing Guarantors, the Banks and
the Agent have agreed to amend and restate the Existing Agreement; 
  
 WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Credit Agreement that Guarantors execute and deliver to the Agent, for the benefit of the Banks and the Agent, an amended and restated guaranty substantially in the form
hereof; and 
  
 WHEREAS, each Guarantor wishes to guaranty the
Company’s obligations to the Banks and the Agent under or in respect of the Credit Agreement as provided herein; 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Banks and the Agent as follows: 
  
 1. Definitions. The term “Obligations” and all other capitalized terms used herein without
definition shall have the respective meanings provided therefor in the Credit Agreement. 
  
 2. Guaranty of Payment and Performance. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantee to the Banks and the Agent the full and punctual payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by required
pre-payment, by acceleration or otherwise), as well as the performance, of all of the Obligations including all such which would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay pursuant to §362(a) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code and the
operation of §§502(b) and 506(b) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. This Guaranty is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of the 








 
full and punctual payment and performance of all of the Obligations and not of their collectibility only and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement
that the Agent or any Bank first attempt to collect any of the Obligations from the Company or resort to any collateral security or other means of obtaining payment. Should the Company default in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations,
the obligations of each of the Guarantors hereunder with respect to such Obligations in default shall, upon demand by the Agent, become immediately due and payable to the Agent, for the benefit of the Banks and the Agent, without demand or notice of
any nature, all of which are expressly waived by each of the Guarantors. Payments by the Guarantors hereunder may be required by the Agent on any number of occasions. All payments by the Guarantors hereunder shall be made to the Agent, in the manner
and at the place of payment specified therefor in the Credit Agreement, for the account of the Banks and the Agent. 
  
 3. Guarantors’ Agreement to Pay Enforcement Costs, etc. Each of the Guarantors further jointly and severally agrees, as a principal
obligor and not as a guarantor only, to pay to the Agent, on demand, all costs and expenses (including court costs and legal expenses) incurred or expended by the Agent or any Bank in connection with the Obligations, this Guaranty and the
enforcement thereof, together with interest on amounts recoverable under this §3 from the time when such amounts become due until payment, whether before or after judgment, at the rate of interest for overdue principal set forth in the Credit
Agreement, provided that if such interest exceeds the maximum amount permitted to be paid under applicable law, then such interest shall be reduced to such maximum permitted amount. 
  
 4. Waivers by Guarantors; Bank’s Freedom to Act. Each of
the Guarantors agrees that the Obligations will be paid and performed strictly in accordance with their respective terms, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the
rights of the Agent or any Bank with respect thereto. Each of the Guarantors waives promptness, diligences, presentment, demand, protest, notice of acceptance, notice of any Obligations incurred and all other notices of any kind, all defenses which
may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of the Company or any other entity or other person primarily or secondarily liable with
respect to any of the Obligations, and all suretyship defenses generally. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Guarantors agrees to the provisions of any instrument evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection
with any Obligation and agrees that the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (i) the failure of the Agent or any Bank to assert any claim or demand or to enforce
any right or remedy against the Company or any other entity or other person primarily or secondarily liable with respect to any of the Obligations; (ii) any extensions, compromise, refinancing, consolidation or renewals of any Obligation; (iii) any
change in the time, place or manner of payment of any of the Obligations or any rescissions, waivers, compromise, refinancing, consolidation or other amendments or modifications of any of the terms or provisions of the Credit Agreement, the Note,
the other Loan Documents or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any of the Obligations, (iv) the addition, substitution or release of any entity or other person primarily or secondarily liable for any
Obligation; (v) the adequacy of any rights which the Agent or any Bank may have against any collateral security or other means of obtaining repayment of any of the Obligations; (vi) the impairment of any collateral securing any of the Obligations,
including without limitation the failure to perfect or preserve any rights which the Agent or any Bank might have in such collateral security or the substitution, exchange, surrender, release, loss or destruction of any such collateral security; or
(vii) any other act or omission which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor or otherwise operate as a release or discharge of such Guarantor, all of which may be done without notice to such Guarantor. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, each of the Guarantors hereby expressly waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of (A) any “one action” or “anti-deficiency” law which would otherwise prevent the Agent or any Bank from
bringing any action, including any claim for a deficiency, or exercising any other right or 

  

 -2- 








 
remedy (including any right of set-off), against such Guarantor before or after the Agent’s or such Bank’s commencement or completion of any
foreclosure action, whether judicially, by exercise of power of sale or otherwise, or (B) any other law which in any other way would otherwise require any election of remedies by the Agent or any Bank. 
  
 5. Unenforceability of Obligations Against Company. If for any
reason the Company has no legal existence or is under no legal obligation to discharge any of the Obligations, or if any of the Obligations have become irrecoverable from the Company by reason of the Company’s insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization or by other operation of law or for any other reason, this Guaranty shall nevertheless be binding on the Guarantors to the same extent as if the Guarantors at all times had been the principal obligors on all such Obligations. In the
event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, or for any other reason, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the
Credit Agreement, the Note, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any Obligation shall be immediately due and payable by the Guarantors. 
  
 6. Subrogation; Subordination. 
  
 7. Waiver of Rights Against Company. Until the
final payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, the Guarantors shall not exercise and hereby waives any rights against the Company arising as a result of payment by the Guarantors hereunder, by way of subrogation, reimbursement,
restitution, contribution or otherwise, and will not prove any claim in competition with the Agent or any Bank in respect of any payment hereunder in any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization case or proceedings of any nature; the Guarantors will
not claim any setoff, recoupment or counterclaim against the Company in respect of any liability of the Guarantors to the Company; and each of the Guarantors waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral security which may be
held by the Agent or any Bank. 
  
 8.
Subordination. The payment of any amounts due with respect to any indebtedness of the Company for money borrowed or credit received now or hereafter owed to the Guarantors is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of the
Obligations. Each of the Guarantors agrees that, after the occurrence of any default in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, such Guarantor will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness of the
Company to such Guarantor until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, either Guarantor shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness while any Obligations are
still outstanding, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Banks and the Agent and be paid over to the Agent, for the benefit of the Banks and the Agent, on account of the Obligations without
affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty. 
  
 9. Provisions Supplemental. The provisions of this §6 shall be supplemental to and not in derogation of any rights and
remedies of the Banks and the Agent under any separate subordination agreement which the Agent may at any time and from time to time enter into with the Guarantors for the benefit of the Banks and the Agent. 
  
 10. Security; Setoff. Each of the Guarantors grants to each of
the Agent and the Banks, as security for the full and punctual payment and performance of such of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, a continuing lien on and security interest in all securities or other property belonging to such Guarantor
now or hereafter held by the Agent or such Bank and in all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) and other sums credited by or due from the Agent or such Bank to such 

  

 -3- 








 
Guarantor or subject to withdrawal by such Guarantor. Regardless of the adequacy of any collateral security or other means of obtaining payment of any of the
Obligations, each of the Agent and the Banks is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to either Guarantor (any such notice being expressly waived by such Guarantor) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off
and apply such deposits and other sums against the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty, whether or not the Agent or such Bank shall have made any demand under this Guaranty and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured.
The Agent and the Banks shall endeavor to give the Borrower prompt notice, in no event later than five (5) days after the application of such deposits, of such application, provided, however, that failure of the Agent or any Bank to
give the Borrower such notice shall not affect any of the Agent’s or Banks’ rights hereunder. 
  
 11. Further Assurances. Each of the Guarantors agrees that it will from time to time, at the request of the Agent, do all such things and
execute all such documents as the Agent may consider necessary or desirable to give full effect to this Guaranty and to perfect and preserve the rights and powers of the Banks and the Agent hereunder. Each of the Guarantors acknowledges and confirms
that such Guarantor itself has established its own adequate means of obtaining from the Company on a continuing basis all information desired by such Guarantor concerning the financial condition of the Company and that such Guarantor will look to
the Company and not to the Agent or any Bank in order for such Guarantor to keep adequately informed of changes in the Company’s financial condition. 
  
 12. Termination; Reinstatement. Notwithstanding any termination of this Guaranty, upon the final payment in full, in cash, of the
Obligations and the irrevocable termination of the Total Commitment, this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, if at any time any payment made or value received with respect to any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be
returned by the Agent or any Bank upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made or value received. 
  
 13. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each of the Guarantors, their successors and
assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Agent and the Banks and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, each Bank may assign or otherwise transfer the Credit Agreement,
the Note, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement or note held by it evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with the Obligations, or sell participations in any interest therein, to any other entity or other person, and such
other entity or other person shall thereupon become vested, to the extent set forth in the agreement evidencing such assignment, transfer or participation, with all the rights in respect thereof granted to such Bank herein, all in accordance with
§20 of the Credit Agreement. The Guarantors may not assign any of their obligations hereunder. 
  
 14. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty nor consent to any departure by either Guarantor
therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Agent with the consent of the Majority Banks. No failure on the part of the Agent or any Bank 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 right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. 
  
 15. Notices. All notices and other communications called for hereunder shall be made in writing and, unless
otherwise specifically provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly made or given when delivered by hand or mailed first class, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telegraphic or telexed notice, when transmitted, answer back received,
addressed as follows: if to the Guarantors, at the addresses set forth beneath their respective signatures hereto, and if to the Agent, at the address for notices to the Agent set forth in §21 of the Credit Agreement, or at such address as
either party may designate in writing to the other. 
  

 -4- 








 16. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. THIS GUARANTY IS INTENDED TO TAKE EFFECT AS A
SEALED INSTRUMENT AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS. Each of the Guarantors agrees that any suit for the enforcement of this Guaranty may be brought in the courts of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any federal court sitting therein and consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such court and to service of process in any such suit being made upon such Guarantor by mail at the address specified by reference in
§12. Each of the Guarantors hereby waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit or any such court or that such suit was brought in an inconvenient court. 
  
 17. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE GUARANTORS HEREBY WAIVES
ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY OF SUCH RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS. Except as prohibited by law, each
of the Guarantors hereby waives any right which it may have to claim or recover in any litigation referred to in the preceding sentence any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages or any damages other than, or in addition to, actual
damages. Each of the Guarantors (i) certifies that neither the Agent or any Bank nor any representative, agent or attorney of the Agent or any Bank has represented, expressly or otherwise, that the Agent or any Bank would not, in the event of
litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waivers and (ii) acknowledges that, in entering into the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Agent or any Bank is a party, the Agent and the Banks are relying upon, among other things,
the waivers and certifications contained in this §14. 
  
 18. Miscellaneous. This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement of the Guarantors with respect to the matters set forth herein. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies
provided by law or any other agreement, and this Guaranty shall be in addition to any other guaranty of or collateral security for any of the Obligations. The invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more sections of this Guaranty shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of its remaining provisions. Captions are for the ease of reference only and shall not affect the meaning of the relevant provisions. The meanings of all defined terms used in this Guaranty shall be equally
applicable to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined.
