 1.3 Accounting Principles. 
  

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all computations and determinations as to accounting or financial matters and all financial statements
to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP (including principles of consolidation where appropriate), and all accounting or financial terms shall have 
  

 - 33 - 








 the meanings ascribed to such terms by GAAP; provided, however, that all accounting terms used in Section
8.2 [Negative Covenants] (and all defined terms used in the definition of any accounting term used in Section 8.2 shall have the meaning given to such terms (and defined terms) under GAAP as in effect on the date hereof applied on a basis consistent
with those used in preparing the Historical Statements referred to in Section 6.1.9 [Financial Statements]. In the event of any change after the date hereof in GAAP, and if such change would result in the inability to determine compliance with the
financial covenants set forth in Section 8.2 based upon the Borrower’s regularly prepared financial statements by reason of the preceding sentence, then the parties hereto agree to endeavor, in good faith, to agree upon an amendment to this
Agreement that would adjust such financial covenants in a manner that would not affect the substance thereof, but would allow compliance therewith to be determined in accordance with the Borrower’s financial statements at that time.

 Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying upon the
representations and warranties herein set forth, each Bank severally agrees to make Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower at any time or from time to time on or after the date hereof to the Expiration Date provided that after giving effect to such
Loan (i) the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Loans from such Bank shall not exceed such Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment minus such Bank’s Ratable Share of the Dollar Equivalent amount of Letters of Credit Outstanding, and (ii) the

Credit Commitment minus its Ratable Share of the Dollar Equivalent amount of Letters of Credit Outstanding, subject to Section 5.5.5 hereof. The obligations of each Bank hereunder are several. The failure of any Bank to perform its obligations
hereunder shall not affect the Obligations of the Borrower to any other party nor shall any other party be liable for the failure of such Bank to perform its obligations hereunder. The Banks shall have no obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans
hereunder on or after the Expiration Date. 
  
 2.3 Commitment
Fees. 
  
 Accruing from the date hereof until the Expiration
Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank, as consideration for such Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder, a nonrefundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to
0.375% per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) on the average daily difference between the amount of (i) such Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment as the same may be
constituted from time to time (for purposes of this computation, PNC Bank’s Swing Loans shall be deemed to be borrowed amounts under its Revolving Credit Commitment) and the (ii) the sum of such Bank’s Revolving Credit Loans outstanding
plus its Ratable Share of Letters of Credit Outstanding. All Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each November, February, May and August after the date hereof and on the Expiration Date or upon acceleration of the Notes.

  
 2.4 Reduction of Commitment. 
  
 The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon five
(5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent to permanently reduce, in whole multiples of $1,000,000 of principal, or terminate the Revolving Credit Commitment without penalty or premium, except as hereinafter set forth,
provided that any such reduction or termination shall be accompanied by (a) the payment in full of any Commitment Fee then accrued on the amount of such reduction or termination and (b) prepayment of the Revolving Credit Notes, together with the
full amount of interest accrued on the principal sum to be prepaid (and all amounts referred to in Section 5.6 hereof), to the extent that the aggregate amount thereof then outstanding exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitment as so reduced or
terminated. From the effective date of any such reduction or termination the obligations of Borrower to pay the Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.3 shall correspondingly be reduced or cease.

thereby; (ii) the amount and type of each such Revolving Credit Loan and the applicable Interest Period (if any); and (iii) the apportionment among the Banks of such Revolving Credit Loans as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
Section 2.2 [Nature of Banks’ Obligations]. Each Bank shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan to the Administrative Agent such that the Administrative Agent is able to, and the Administrative Agent shall, to the extent
the Banks have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 7.2 [Each Additional Loan], fund such Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Principal Office prior to 2:00

Revolving Credit Loans of such Bank on such Borrowing Date, and such Bank shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 10.16 [Availability of Funds]. 
  

2.6.2. Making Swing Loans. 
  
 So long as PNC Bank elects to make Swing Loans, PNC Bank shall, after receipt by it of a Swing Loan Request pursuant to Section 2.5.2, fund such Swing

Swing Loans made to it by PNC Bank together with interest thereon shall be evidenced by demand promissory notes of the Borrower dated the Closing Date in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1(S)(2) payable to the order of PNC
Bank, the aggregate face amount of which notes equals the Swing Loan Commitment. 
  

 - 37 - 








 2.8 Use of Proceeds. 
  
 The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be used (i) to repay certain existing senior secured Indebtedness of the
Borrower, (ii) to provide working capital to the Borrower, (iii) for general corporate purposes of the Borrower, including advances to Subsidiaries permitted under this Agreement and transaction costs and expenses, and (iv) in accordance with

 2.9 Borrowings to Repay
Swing Loans. 
  
 PNC Bank may, at its option, exercisable at
any time for any reason whatsoever, demand repayment of the Swing Loans, and each Bank shall make a Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal to such Bank’s Ratable Share of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Swing Loans, plus, if

 2.10 Letter of Credit
Subfacility. 
  
 2.10.1. Issuance of Letters of Credit.

  
 Borrower may request the issuance of a letter of credit (each
a “Letter of Credit”) on behalf of itself or another Loan Party by delivering or having such other Loan Party deliver to the Administrative Agent a completed application and agreement for letters of credit in such form as the
Administrative Agent may specify from time to time by no later than 10:00 a.m., Pittsburgh time, at least five (5) Business Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent, in advance of the proposed date of issuance.
Each Letter of Credit shall be a Standby Letter of Credit or a Commercial Letter of Credit and may be denominated in either Dollars or the Optional Currency. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on the agreements of the other
Banks set forth in this Section 2.10, the Administrative Agent (and, upon request of the Borrower, consent of the Administrative Agent, and consent of the requested Issuing Bank, any other Issuing Bank designated by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with the terms of this Section) will issue a Letter of Credit provided that each Letter 
  

 - 38 - 








 of Credit shall (A) have a maximum maturity of twelve (12) months from the date of issuance (but may include a provision
for the automatic extension of the Letter of Credit absent notice by the Issuing Bank to the beneficiary), and (B) in no event expire later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Expiration Date, and provided that in no event shall (i) the Dollar
Equivalent amount of Letters of Credit Outstanding exceed, at any one time, $35,000,000, or (ii) the Revolving Facility Usage exceed, at any one time, the Revolving Credit Commitments. From time to time the Borrower may request that a Bank other
than the Administrative Agent issue Letters of Credit on its behalf (or on behalf of another Loan Party) hereunder by submitting a written request to such effect to the Administrative Agent, which request the Administrative Agent shall forward to
the requested Bank; in the event that such requested Bank consents thereto, and subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to designate one or more of such additional Banks as “Issuing
Banks” hereunder. Those letters of credit issued by the Administrative Agent described on Schedule 2.10 shall from and after the Closing Date be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 

 
 2.10.2. Letter of Credit Fees. 
  
 The Borrower shall pay in Dollars (i) to the Administrative Agent for the
ratable account of the Banks a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee then in effect (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) per annum, and (ii) to each Issuing
Bank (including the Administrative Agent) for its own account a fronting fee equal to .250% per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed), which fees shall be computed on the daily average Dollar Equivalent amount
of Letters of Credit Outstanding issued by such Issuing Bank and shall be payable quarterly in arrears commencing with the first day of each November, February, May and August following issuance of each Letter of Credit and on the Expiration Date.
The Borrower shall also pay to each Issuing Bank (including the Administrative Agent) in Dollars for its own account such Issuing Bank’s then in effect customary fees and administrative expenses payable with respect to the Letters of Credit as
such Issuing Bank may generally charge or incur from time to time in connection with the issuance, maintenance, modification (if any), assignment or transfer (if any), negotiation, and administration of Letters of Credit. 
  
 2.10.3. Disbursements, Reimbursement. 
  
 2.10.3.1. Immediately upon the Issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Bank
shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from each Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Bank’s Ratable Share of the maximum amount
available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively. 
  
 2.10.3.2. In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the relevant Issuing Bank will
promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Provided that it shall have received such notice, the Borrower shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank 
  

 - 39 - 








 sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) such Issuing Bank in Dollars prior to 12:00
noon, Pittsburgh time on each date that an amount is paid by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent amount so paid by such Issuing Bank. In the
event the Borrower fails to reimburse such Issuing Bank for the full Dollar Equivalent amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 noon, Pittsburgh time, on the Drawing Date, such Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative
Agent, which will in turn promptly notify each Bank thereof, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that Revolving Credit Loans be made by the Banks in Dollars under the Base Rate Option to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such
Letter of Credit, subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 [Each Additional Loan] other than any notice requirements. Any notice given by such Issuing
Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.10.3.2 may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

  
 2.10.3.3. Each Bank shall upon any notice pursuant to Section
2.10.3.2 make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Bank an amount in Dollars in immediately available funds equal to its Ratable Share of the Dollar Equivalent amount of the drawing, whereupon the
participating Banks shall (subject to Section 2.10.3.4) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan in Dollars under the Base Rate Option to the Borrower in that amount. If any Bank so notified fails to make available in Dollars to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Bank the amount of such Bank’s Ratable Share of such Dollar Equivalent amount by no later than 2:00 p.m., Pittsburgh time on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such
Bank’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Bank makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at
a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Loans under the Revolving Credit Base Rate Option on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. The relevant Issuing Bank and, in turn, the Administrative Agent will promptly give notice of
the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Bank to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Bank from
its obligation under this Section 2.10.3.3. 
  
 2.10.3.4. With
respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option to the Borrower in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.10.3.2, because of the Borrower’s failure to satisfy the
conditions set forth in Section 7.2 [Each Additional Loan] other than any notice requirements or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the relevant Issuing Bank a borrowing (each a “Letter of Credit
Borrowing”) in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to the Revolving
Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option. Each Bank’s payment to the 
  

 - 40 - 








 Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.10.3.3 shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such
Letter of Credit Borrowing and shall constitute a “Participation Advance” from such Bank in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.10.3. 
  
 2.10.4. Repayment of Participation Advances. 
  
 2.10.4.1. Upon (and only upon) receipt by the relevant Issuing Bank for its account of immediately available funds from the
Borrower (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by such Issuing Bank under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Bank has made a Participation Advance to the Administrative Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by
such Issuing Bank under such a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank will pay to each Bank, in the same funds as those received by such Issuing Bank, the amount of such Bank’s Ratable Share of such funds, except such Issuing Bank shall retain the
amount of the Ratable Share of such funds of any Bank that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by such Issuing Bank. 
  
 2.10.4.2. If any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent is required at any time to return to any Loan Party, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator,
custodian, or any official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any portion of the payments made by any Loan Party to such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.10.4.1 in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit
or interest or fee thereon, each Bank shall, on demand of the Administrative Agent, forthwith return to the Administrative Agent the amount of its Ratable Share of any amounts so returned by such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent plus
interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amounts are returned by such Bank to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect from time to time. 
  
 2.10.5. Documentation. 
  
 Each Loan Party agrees to be bound by the terms of each Issuing Bank’s
(including the Administrative Agent’s) application and agreement for letters of credit and each Issuing Bank’s (including the Administrative Agent’s) written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though
such interpretation may be different from such Loan Party’s own. In the event of a conflict between such application or agreement and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross
negligence or willful misconduct and in the case of a violation of Section 2.10.6 by the Issuing Bank in a material manner, each Issuing Bank shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in
following any Loan Party’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto. 
  

 - 41 - 








 2.10.6. Determinations to Honor Drawing Requests. 
  
 In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of
Credit by the beneficiary thereof, each Issuing Bank shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the
requirements of such Letter of Credit. 
  
 2.10.7. Nature of
Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. 
  
 Each
Bank’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Credit Loans or Participation Advances, as contemplated by Section 2.10.3, as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the Obligations of the Borrower to
reimburse each Issuing Bank upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.10 under all circumstances, including the following

set forth in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Credit Loan, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and the obligation of the Banks to make Participation Advances under
Section 2.10.3; 
  
 (iii) any lack of validity or enforceability
of any Letter of Credit; 
  
 (iv) any claim of breach of warranty
that might be made by any Loan Party or any Bank against any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, crossclaim, defense or other right which any Loan Party or any Bank may have at any
time against a beneficiary, successor beneficiary any transferee or assignee of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent or their
Affiliates or any Bank or any other Person or, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Loan Party or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party
and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a
Letter of Credit; 
  
 (viii) any failure by such Issuing Bank or
the Administrative Agent or any of their Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by any Loan Party, unless such party has received written notice from such Loan Party of such failure within three Business Days after such party
shall have furnished such Loan Party a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice; 
  
 (ix) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of

protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless each Issuing Bank and any of its Affiliates that has 
  

 - 43 - 








 issued a Letter of Credit from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, taxes, penalties, interest,
judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which such Issuing Bank or any of its Affiliates may incur or be subject to as a consequence,
direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, other than as a result of (A) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (B) failure by such
Issuing Bank to comply with Section 2.10.6 in a material manner, or (C) the wrongful dishonor by such Issuing Bank or any of its Affiliates of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit, except if such dishonor resulted from any act
or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or governmental authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Governmental Acts”). 
  
 2.10.9. Liability for Acts and Omissions. 
  
 As between any Loan Party and each Issuing Bank, or its Affiliates, such
Loan Party assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Issuing Bank shall not be
responsible for any of the following including any losses or damages to any Loan Party or other Person or property relating therefrom: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party
in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if such Issuing Bank or its Affiliates shall
have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such 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; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in

of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank or its Affiliates, as applicable, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or
prevent the vesting of, any of such Issuing Bank’s or its Affiliates rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve any Issuing Bank from liability for such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct
in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall any Issuing Bank or its Affiliates be liable to any Loan Party for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary
or special damages or expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent and
their Affiliates (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit, (ii)
may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether
such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any
interest paid by such Issuing Bank or its Affiliate; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other
document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it
rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on such Issuing Bank or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s
request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an “Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject to such Order,
notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit. 
  
 In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Bank, the
Administrative Agent or their Affiliates under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put such Issuing Bank, the Administrative
Agent or their Affiliates under any resulting liability to the Borrower or any Bank. 
  
 2.11 Periodic Computations of Dollar Equivalent Amounts of Letters of Credit Outstanding. 
  
 The Administrative Agent will determine the Dollar Equivalent amount of (i) proposed Letters of Credit to be denominated in an Optional Currency as of
the requested date of issuance, as the case may be, and (ii) outstanding Letters of Credit Outstanding denominated in an Optional Currency as of the last Business Day of each month, (each such date under clauses (i) and (ii), a “Computation
Date”).

 3. TERM LOANS 
  
 3.1 Term Loan Commitments. 
  

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Bank severally agrees to make a
term loan (each, a “Term Loan”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in such principal amount as the Borrower shall request up to, but not exceeding such Bank’s Term Loan Commitment. 
  
 3.2 Nature of Banks’ Obligations with Respect to Term Loans.

  
 The obligations of each Bank to make Term Loans to the
Borrower shall be in the proportion that such Bank’s Term Loan Commitment bears to the Term Loan Commitments of all Banks to the Borrower, but each Bank’s Term Loan to the Borrower shall never exceed its Term Loan Commitment. The failure
of any Bank to make a Term Loan shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligations to make a Term Loan nor shall it impose any additional liability on any other Bank hereunder. The Banks shall have no obligation to make Term Loans hereunder after
the Closing Date. The Term Loan Commitments are not revolving credit commitments, and the Borrower shall not have the right to borrow, repay and reborrow under Section 3.1 [Term Loan Commitments]. 
  
 3.3 Term Loan Notes. 
  
 The Obligation of the Borrower to repay the unpaid principal amount of the
Term Loans made to it by each Bank, together with interest thereon, shall be evidenced by a Term Note dated the Closing Date in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1(T) payable to the order of each Bank in a face amount equal
to the Term Loan of such Bank. The principal amount as provided therein of the Term Notes shall be payable in 16 quarterly installments on the first day of each November, February, May and August hereafter, each in the amount of $500,000, commencing
on November 1, 2005, and continuing through August 1, 2009, with a final payment of all outstanding principal and interest on the Term Loans due on the Term Loan Maturity Date. 
  
 3.4 Use of Proceeds. 
  
 The proceeds of the Term Loans shall be used (i) to refinance a portion of the balance of principal and interest outstanding under the Existing Credit
Agreement, and (ii) in accordance with Section 8.1.10 [Use of Proceeds]. 
  
 4. INTEREST RATES 
  
 4.1 Interest Rate
Options. 
  
 The Borrower shall pay interest in respect of the
outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Loans as selected by it from the Base Rate Option or Euro-Rate Option set forth 
  

 - 46 - 








 below applicable to the Loans, it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may
select different Interest Rate Options and different Interest Periods to apply simultaneously to the Loans comprising different Borrowing Tranches and may convert to or renew one or more Interest Rate Options with respect to all or any portion of
the Loans comprising any Borrowing Tranche, provided that there shall not be at any one time outstanding more than twelve (12) Borrowing Tranches in the aggregate among all of the Loans, and provided further that only the As-Offered Rate
shall apply to the Swing Loans. If at any time the designated rate applicable to any Loan made by any Bank exceeds such Bank’s highest lawful rate, the rate of interest on such Bank’s Loan shall be limited to such Bank’s highest
lawful rate. 
  
 4.1.1. Revolving Credit Interest Rate
Options. 
  
 The Borrower shall have the right to select from
the following Interest Rate Options applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans (subject to the provisions above regarding Swing Loans): 
  
 (i) Revolving Credit Base Rate Option: A fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may
be, and actual days elapsed) equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, such interest rate to change automatically from time to time effective as of the effective date of each change in the Base Rate; or 
  
 (ii) Revolving Credit Euro-Rate Option: A rate per annum (computed on
the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to the Euro-Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 
  
 4.1.2. Term Loan Interest Rate Options. 
  
 The Borrower shall have the right to select from the following Interest Rate Options applicable to the Term Loans: 
  
 (i) Term Loan Base Rate Option: A fluctuating rate per annum
(computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, such interest rate to change automatically from time to time effective as of the effective
date of each change in the Base Rate; or 
  
 (ii) Term Loan
Euro-Rate Option: A rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to the Euro-Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 
  

4.1.3. Rate Quotations. 
  
 The Borrower may call the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which a Loan Request is to be delivered to receive an indication of the rates
then in effect, but it 
  

 - 47 - 








 is acknowledged that such projection shall not be binding on the Administrative Agent or the Banks nor affect the rate of
interest which thereafter is actually in effect when the election is made. 
  
 4.2 Interest Periods. 
  
 At any time when the Borrower shall select, convert to or renew a Euro-Rate Option, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such Euro-Rate Option by
delivering a Loan Request. The notice shall specify an Interest Period during which such Interest Rate Option shall apply. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the following provisions shall apply to any selection of, renewal of, or conversion to
a Euro-Rate Option: 
  
 4.2.1. Amount of Borrowing
Tranche. 
  
 each Borrowing Tranche of Euro-Rate Loans shall
be in integral multiples of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000; 
  
 4.2.2. Renewals. 
  
 in the case of the renewal
of a Euro-Rate Option at the end of an Interest Period, the first day of the new Interest Period shall be the last day of the preceding Interest Period, without duplication in payment of interest for such day. 
  
 4.3 Interest After Default. 
  
 To the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
and until such time such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived, the Borrower may not select, convert to or renew a Euro-Rate Option, and: 
  
 4.3.1. Letter of Credit Fees, Interest Rate. 
  
 the Letter of Credit Fees and the rate of interest for each Loan otherwise applicable pursuant to Section 2.10.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] or Section 4.1
[Interest Rate Options], respectively, shall be increased by 2.0% per annum; and 
  
 4.3.2. Other Obligations. 
  
 each other Obligation hereunder if not paid when due shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the rate of interest applicable under the Revolving Credit Base Rate Option plus an additional 2.0% per annum from the time
such Obligation becomes due and payable and until it is paid in full. 
  

 - 48 - 








 4.3.3. Acknowledgment. 
  
 The Borrower acknowledges that the increase in rates referred to in this Section 4.3 reflects, among other things, the fact
that such Loans or other amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and that the Banks are entitled to additional compensation for such risk; and all such interest shall be payable by Borrower upon demand by
Administrative Agent. 
  
 4.4 Euro-Rate Unascertainable;
Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available. 
  
 4.4.1. Unascertainable. 
  
 If on any date on
which a Euro-Rate would otherwise be determined, the Administrative Agent shall have determined that: 
  
 (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining such Euro-Rate, or 
  
 (ii) a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects the London interbank eurodollar market relating to
the Euro-Rate, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.4.3. 
  
 4.4.2. Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available. 
  
 If at any time any Bank shall have determined that: 
  
 (i) the making, maintenance or funding of any Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Bank
in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), or 
  
 (ii) such Euro-Rate Option will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost
to such Bank of the establishment or maintenance of any such Loan, or 
  
 (iii) after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in Dollars for the relevant Interest Period for a Loan, or to banks generally, to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, respectively, are not available to such Bank with
respect to such Loan, or to banks generally, in the interbank eurodollar market, 
  
 then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.4.3. 
  

 - 49 - 








 4.4.3. Administrative Agent’s and Bank’s Rights. 
  
 In the case of any event specified in Section 4.4.1 above, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Banks and the Borrower thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 4.4.2 above, such Bank shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent and endorse a certificate to such notice as
to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other Banks and the Borrower. Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier
than the date such notice is given), the obligation of (A) the Banks, in the case of such notice given by the Administrative Agent, or (B) such Bank, in the case of such notice given by such Bank, to allow the Borrower to select, convert to or renew
a Euro-Rate Option shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall have later notified the Borrower, or such Bank shall have later notified the Administrative Agent, of the Administrative Agent’s or such Bank’s, as the case may be,
determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist. If at any time the Administrative Agent makes a determination under Section 4.4.1 and the Borrower has previously notified the Administrative Agent of
its selection of, conversion to or renewal of a Euro-Rate Option and such Interest Rate Option has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate Option otherwise
available with respect to such Loans. If any Bank notifies the Administrative Agent of a determination under Section 4.4.2, the Borrower shall, subject to the Borrower’s indemnification Obligations under Section 5.6.2 [Indemnity], as to any
Loan of the Bank to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, on the date specified in such notice either convert such Loan to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan or prepay such Loan in accordance with Section 5.4 [Voluntary
Prepayments]. Absent due notice from the Borrower of conversion or prepayment, such Loan shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan upon such specified date. 
  
 4.5 Selection of Interest Rate Options. 
  
 If the Borrower fails to select a new Interest Period to apply to any
Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Euro-Rate Option at the expiration of an existing Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing Tranche in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2 [Interest Periods], the Borrower shall be deemed to have
converted such Borrowing Tranche to the Revolving Credit Base Rate Option or Term Loan Base Rate Option, as applicable, commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest Period. 
  
 4.6 Canadian Interest Provisions. 
  
 Whenever interest is payable hereunder on the basis of a year of 365 or 360 days, for the purposes of the Interest Act
(Canada), the yearly rate of interest which is equivalent to the rate payable hereunder is the rate payable hereunder multiplied by the actual number of days in the year and divided by 365 or 360, as applicable. All interest will be calculated using
the 
  

 - 50 - 








 nominal rate method and not the effective rate method and the deemed reinvestment principle shall not apply to such
calculations. 
  
 The amount of the interest or fees exigible in
applying this agreement shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by Law. Where the amount of such interest or such fees is greater than the maximum rate, the amount shall be reduced to the highest rate which may be recovered in accordance with
the applicable provisions of Law. 
  
 5. PAYMENTS

  
 5.1 Payments. 
  
 All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal, interest,
Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, or other fees or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder shall be payable prior to 11:00 a.m., Pittsburgh time, on the date when due without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature, and an action therefor shall immediately accrue. Such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the
account of PNC Bank with respect to the Swing Loans and for the ratable accounts of the Banks with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly
distribute such amounts to the Banks in immediately available funds, provided that in the event payments are received by 11:00 a.m., Pittsburgh time, by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Loans and such payments are not distributed
to the Banks on the same day received by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall pay the Banks the Federal Funds Effective Rate with respect to the amount of such payments for each day held by the Administrative Agent and not
distributed to the Banks. The Administrative Agent’s and each Bank’s statement of account, ledger or other relevant record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as the statement of the amount of principal of and interest
on the Loans and other amounts owing under this Agreement (including the Equivalent Amounts of the applicable currencies where such computations are required) and shall be deemed an “account stated.” 
  
 5.2 Pro Rata Treatment of Banks. 
  
 Each borrowing shall be allocated to each Bank according to its Ratable
Share, and each selection of, conversion to or renewal of any Interest Rate Option and each payment or prepayment by the Borrower with respect to principal, interest, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, or other fees (except for payments for
fees of the Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent) or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder to the Banks with respect to the Loans, shall (except as provided in Section 4.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Bank’s Rights] in the case
of an event specified in Section 4.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable; Etc.], 5.4.2 [Replacement of a Bank] or 5.6 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances]) be made in proportion to the applicable Loans outstanding from each Bank and, if no such
Loans are then outstanding, in proportion to the Ratable Share of each Bank. Notwithstanding any of the 
  

 - 51 - 








 foregoing, each borrowing or payment or prepayment by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees or other amounts with
respect to Swing Loans shall be made by or to PNC Bank according to Section 2. 
  
 5.3 Interest Payment Dates. 
  
 Interest on Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies shall be due and payable in arrears on the first day of each November, February, May and August after the date hereof and on the Expiration Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date (as
applicable) or upon acceleration of the Notes. Interest on Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option applies shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period for those Loans and, if such Interest Period is longer than three (3) Months,
also on the 90th day of such Interest Period. Interest on mandatory prepayments of principal under Section 5.5 [Mandatory Prepayments] shall be due on the date such mandatory prepayment is due. Interest on the principal amount of each Loan or other
monetary Obligation shall be due and payable on demand after such principal amount or other monetary Obligation becomes due and payable (whether on the stated maturity date, upon acceleration or otherwise). 
  
 5.4 Voluntary Prepayments. 
  
 5.4.1. Right to Prepay. 
  
 The Borrower shall have the right at its option from time to time to prepay
the Loans in whole or part without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 5.4.2 below or in Section 5.6 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances]): 
  
 (i) at any time with respect to any Loan to which the Base Rate Option applies, 
  
 (ii) on the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect to Loans
to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, 
  
 (iii) on the date
specified in a notice by any Bank pursuant to Section 4.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable, Etc.] with respect to any Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies. 
  
 Whenever the Borrower desires to prepay any part of the Loans, it shall provide a prepayment notice to the Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. (i) at least
one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans which bear interest at the Base Rate Option, (ii) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans or Term
Loans which bear interest at the Euro-Rate Option, and (iii) or no later than 1:00 p.m., Pittsburgh time, on the date of prepayment of Swing Loans, setting forth the following information: 
  

 - 52 - 








 (x) the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed prepayment is to be
made; 
  
 (y) a statement indicating the
application of the prepayment between the Swing Loans, Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans; and 
  
 (z) the total principal amount of such prepayment, which shall not be less than $100,000 for any Swing Loan or $500,000 for any Revolving
Credit Loan or Term Loan. 
  
 All prepayment notices shall be
irrevocable. The principal amount of the Loans for which a prepayment notice is given, together with interest on such principal amount except with respect to Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, shall be due and payable on the date specified
in such prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made. All Term Loan prepayments permitted pursuant to this Section 5.4.1 shall be applied pro rata to the remaining scheduled amortization payments
thereunder; provided, however, that the Term Loan prepayment in the amount of $62,187,500 to be made by the Borrower in connection with the issuance of the 2003 Senior Notes shall not be applied ratably to reduce the quarterly
payments to be made under the Agreement as in effect prior to the 2003 Note Closing Date but shall be applied to reduce the principal of the Term Loan outstanding and remaining payments of the Term Loan shall be made as set forth in Section 3.3 of
the Agreement as amended pursuant to the First Amendment. Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject to the Borrower’s Obligation to indemnify the Banks under Section 5.6.2 [Indemnity]. 
  
 5.4.2. Replacement of a Bank. 
  
 In the event any Bank (i) gives notice under Section 4.4 [Euro-Rate
Unascertainable, Etc.] or Section 5.6.1 [Increased Costs, Etc.], (ii) does not fund Revolving Credit Loans because the making of such Loans would contravene any Law applicable to such Bank, or (iii) becomes subject to the control of an Official Body
(other than normal and customary supervision), then the Borrower shall have the right at its option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, to prepay the Loans of such Bank in whole, together with all
interest accrued thereon, and terminate such Bank’s Commitment within ninety (90) days after (x) receipt of such Bank’s notice under Section 4.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable, Etc.] or 5.6.1 [Increased Costs, Etc.], (y) the date such Bank has
failed to fund Revolving Credit Loans because the making of such Loans would contravene Law applicable to such Bank, or (z) the date such Bank became subject to the control of an Official Body, as applicable; provided that the Borrower shall
also pay to such Bank at the time of such prepayment any amounts required under Section 5.6 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances] and any accrued interest due on such amount and any related fees; provided, however, that the
Commitment and any Term Loan of such Bank shall be provided by one or more of the remaining Banks or a replacement bank acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided, further, the remaining Banks shall have no obligation hereunder to
increase their Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may only be replaced subject to the requirements of Section 10.14 [Successor Agent] and provided that all Letters of Credit issued by the Administrative Agent
have expired or been terminated or replaced. 
  

 - 53 - 








 5.4.3. Change of Lending Office. 
  
 Each Bank agrees that upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to increased costs or other special payments under
Section 4.4.2 [Illegality, Etc.] or 5.6.1 [Increased Costs, Etc.] with respect to such Bank, it will if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Bank) to designate another lending office for
any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Bank and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the
consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 5.4.3 shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Bank
provided in this Agreement. 
  
 5.5 Mandatory Prepayments.

  
 5.5.1. Sale of Assets. 
  
 Within five (5) days of the receipt of the proceeds of sale or other
disposition by a Loan Party or a Subsidiary of a Loan Party from any asset sale permitted under Section 8.2.7(v)(c), the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of principal equal to the net after-tax proceeds of such sale (as estimated in good
faith by the Borrower), together with accrued interest on such principal amount. Within one hundred eighty (180) days of the receipt of the proceeds of sale or other disposition by a Loan Party or a Subsidiary of a Loan Party from any asset sale
permitted under Section 8.2.7(v)(b) (or within sixty (60) days after such receipt, to the extent such Loan Party or Subsidiary has failed to provide to the Administrative Agent satisfactory evidence of such Loan Party’s or Subsidiary’s
commitment to reinvest such proceeds as provided in Section 8.2.7(v)(b), to the extent that such Loan Party or Subsidiary has not reinvested such proceeds), the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of principal equal to the net after-tax
proceeds of such sale or other disposition (as estimated in good faith by the Borrower), together with accrued interest on such principal amount.  
  
 5.5.2. Equity Proceeds. 
  

Within five (5) Business Days of the receipt of proceeds from any issuance of equity securities of the Loan Parties (other than any equity contributed
by Saratoga), the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of principal equal to 50% of the net after-tax proceeds of such issuance, together with accrued interest on such principal amount. 
  
 5.5.3. Recovery of Insurance Proceeds. 
  
 Within one hundred eighty (180) days of the receipt of insurance proceeds
from a loss described in Section 8.1.3 (v)(c) (or, within sixty (60) days after such receipt, to the 
  

 - 54 - 








 extent such Loan Party or Subsidiary has failed to provide to the Administrative Agent satisfactory evidence of such Loan
Party’s or Subsidiary’s commitment to reinvest such proceeds as provided in Section 8.1.3(v)(c), to the extent that such Loan Party or Subsidiary has not reinvested such proceeds), the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of
principal equal to 100% of the net after tax proceeds thereof, together with accrued interest on such principal amount. Within one hundred eighty (180) days of the receipt of insurance proceeds by a Loan Party or a Subsidiary of a Loan Party from a
loss which are not reinvested as described in Section 8.1.3(v)(b) (or, within sixty (60) days after such receipt, to the extent a Loan Party has failed to provide to the Administrative Agent satisfactory evidence of such Loan Party’s commitment
to reinvest such proceeds as provided in Section 8.1.3(v)(b)), the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of principal equal to 100% of the net after tax proceeds thereof, together with accrued interest on such principal amount. 
  
 5.5.4. Borrowing Base Exceeded. 
  
 Whenever the outstanding principal balance of Revolving Credit Loans and
Swing Loans by the Banks plus Letters of Credit Outstanding exceed the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall make, within one (1) Business Day after the Borrower learns of such excess and whether or not the Administrative Agent has given notice to such
effect, a mandatory prepayment of principal equal to the excess of the Revolving Facility Usage over the Borrowing Base, together with accrued interest on such principal amount. 
  
 5.5.5. Currency Fluctuations. 
  
 If on any Computation Date the Revolving Facility Usage is equal to or greater than the Revolving Credit Commitments as a
result of a change in exchange rates between the Optional Currency and Dollars, then the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of the same. The Borrower shall pay or prepay the Loans (subject to Borrower’s indemnity obligations under
Sections 4.4 and 5.6 hereof) within one (1) Business Day after receiving such notice such that the Revolving Facility Usage shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to such payments or prepayments. 
  
 5.5.6. Application Among Loans and Interest Rate Options. 

 
 All prepayments pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall first be applied to
the Term Loans pro rata to the remaining scheduled amortization payments thereunder, and then to the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding, if any, and the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower. All prepayments required
pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall first be applied among the Interest Rate Options to the principal amount of the Loans subject to the Base Rate Option, then to Loans subject to a Euro-Rate Option. In accordance with Section 5.6.2 [Indemnity], the
Borrower shall indemnify the Banks for any loss or expense, including loss of margin, incurred with respect to any such prepayments applied against Loans subject to a Euro-Rate Option on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest
Period. 
  

 - 55 - 








 5.6 Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances. 
  
 5.6.1. Increased Costs or Reduced Return Resulting from Taxes, Reserves,
Capital Adequacy Requirements, Expenses, Etc. 
  
 If any Law,
guideline or interpretation or any change in any Law, guideline or interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance with any request or directive (whether or not
having the force of Law) of any central bank or other Official Body: 
  
 (i) subjects any Bank to any tax or changes the basis of taxation with respect to this Agreement, the Notes, the Loans or payments by the Borrower of principal, interest, Commitment Fees, or other amounts due from the Borrower hereunder or
under the Notes (except for taxes on the overall net income of such Bank), 
  
 (ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against credits or commitments to extend credit extended by, or assets (funded or contingent) of, deposits with or for the
account of, or other acquisitions of funds by, any Bank, or 
  
 (iii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any capital adequacy or similar requirement (A) against assets (funded or contingent) of, or letters of credit, other credits or commitments to extend credit extended by, any Bank, or (B)
otherwise applicable to the obligations of any Bank under this Agreement, 
  
 and
the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to, reduce the income receivable by, or impose any expense (including loss of margin) upon any Bank with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or the making, maintenance or funding of any
part of the Loans (or, in the case of any capital adequacy or similar requirement, to have the effect of reducing the rate of return on any Bank’s capital, taking into consideration such Bank’s customary policies with respect to capital
adequacy) by an amount which such Bank in its sole discretion deems to be material, such Bank shall from time to time notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the amount determined in good faith (using any averaging and attribution
methods employed in good faith) by such Bank to be necessary to compensate such Bank for such increase in cost, reduction of income, additional expense or reduced rate of return. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such
determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such Bank ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given. 
  
 5.6.2. Indemnity. 
  
 In addition to the compensation required by Section 5.6.1 [Increased Costs, Etc.], the Borrower shall indemnify each Bank against all liabilities, losses
or expenses (including loss of margin, any loss or expense incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties and any loss or expense incurred in connection with funds acquired by a Bank to fund or maintain Loans subject to a Euro-Rate
Option) which such Bank sustains or incurs as a consequence of any 
  

 - 56 - 








 (i) payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies on a day
other than the last day of the corresponding Interest Period (whether or not such payment or prepayment is mandatory, voluntary or automatic and whether or not such payment or prepayment is then due), 
  
 (ii) attempt by the Borrower to revoke (expressly, by later inconsistent

property or the nature of its business makes such license or qualification necessary, except as otherwise expressly permitted in Section 8.2.6 [Liquidations, Mergers, Etc.] and except to the extent that any failure to be so licensed or qualified and
in good standing would not constitute a Material Adverse Change.

other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, (iv) provide that any and all rights of subrogation which the insurers may have or acquire shall be, at all times and in all respects, junior and subordinate to the prior payment in full of the

replace the property subject to such loss (provided that the Loan Parties shall have provided to the Administrative Agent within 60 days of the receipt of such proceeds satisfactory evidence of such Loan Parties’ commitment to rebuild or
replace such property in the form of executed purchase orders, construction contracts and the like) or applied as a mandatory prepayment of the Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.5.3, and (c) all insurance proceeds for losses of

loss that the Loan Parties be permitted to use the insurance proceeds associated with such loss for rebuilding or replacing the property subject to such loss, and upon receipt of such request, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such request
to the Banks, which shall have 15 days to decide whether to approve or deny such request, and, (i) in the event that the Required Banks approve such request, the Administrative Agent shall provide notice of such approval to the Borrower, and the
Borrower shall have 180 days from the receipt of such proceeds to rebuild or replace the property subject to such loss (provided that the Loan Parties shall have provided to the Administrative Agent within 60 days of the receipt of such proceeds
satisfactory evidence of 
  

 - 77 - 








 
such Loan Parties’ commitment to rebuild or replace such property in the form of executed purchase orders, construction contracts and the like), and
(ii) in the event that the Required Banks fail to approve such request or the Loan Parties fail to reinvest such funds within 180 days from the date of receipt of such proceeds (or fail to provide the Administrative Agent with satisfactory evidence
of such parties’ commitment to rebuild or replace such property within 60 days of the receipt of such proceeds), such proceeds shall be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.5.3, (vi)
include effective waivers by the insurer of all claims for insurance premiums against the Administrative Agent, (vii) provide that no cancellation of such policies for any reason (including non-payment of premium) nor any change therein shall be
effective until at least thirty (30) days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of written notice of such cancellation or change, (viii) be primary without right of contribution of any other insurance carried by or on behalf of any additional
insureds with respect to their respective interests in the Collateral, and (ix) provide that inasmuch as the policy covers more than one insured, all terms, conditions, insuring agreements and endorsements (except limits of liability) shall operate
as if there were a separate policy covering each insured. The applicable Loan Parties shall notify the Administrative Agent promptly of any occurrence causing a material casualty loss and associated decline in value of the Collateral and the
estimated (or actual, if available) amount of such loss and decline in value. Except for monies which the applicable Loan Party or Subsidiary is entitled to use for replacement or rebuilding as permitted herein, any monies received by the
Administrative Agent constituting insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds may, at the option of the Administrative Agent, (i) be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of the Loans in such manner as the Administrative Agent may
reasonably determine, or (ii) be disbursed to the applicable Loan Parties on such terms as are deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the repair, restoration and/or replacement of property in respect of which such proceeds were received.

business, and from time to time, such Loan Party will make or cause to be made all appropriate repairs, renewals or replacements thereof, except to the extent that the failure to so maintain, repair, renew or replace such properties would not
constitute a Material Adverse Change. 
  
 8.1.5. Maintenance of
Patents, Trademarks, Etc. 
  
 Each Loan Party shall, and
shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain in full force and effect all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses, franchises, permits and other authorizations necessary for the ownership and operation of its

 10. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
  
 10.1 Appointment. 
  
 Each Bank hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and authorizes PNC Bank to
act as Administrative Agent for such Bank under this Agreement and to execute and deliver or accept on behalf of each of the Banks the other Loan Documents. Each Bank hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of a
Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein, and to
exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. PNC Bank agrees to act as the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Banks to the extent provided in this Agreement. 
  
 None of the Banks designated on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as the “Syndication Agent” or as a “Co-Documentation Agent” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability,
responsibility, or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Banks as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Banks so identified 
  

 - 103 - 








 as the “Syndication Agent” or as a “Co-Documentation Agent” shall have or be deemed to have any
fiduciary relationship with any Bank. Each Bank acknowledges that it has not relied and will not rely on any of the Banks so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 
  
 10.2 Delegation of Duties. 
  
 The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or
through agents or employees (provided such delegation does not constitute a relinquishment of its duties as Administrative Agent) and, subject to Sections 10.5 [Reimbursement of Administrative Agent by Borrower, Etc.] and 10.6, shall be
entitled to engage and pay for the advice or services of any attorneys, accountants or other experts concerning all matters pertaining to its duties hereunder and to rely upon any advice so obtained. 
  
 10.3 Nature of Duties; Independent Credit Investigation. 

 
 The Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except
those expressly set forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations, or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist. The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical
and administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary or trust relationship in respect of any Bank; and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed
as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement except as expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to
the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to
create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Each Bank expressly acknowledges (i) that the Administrative Agent has not made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the
Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any of the Loan Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Bank; (ii) that it has made and will continue to
make, without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs and its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each of the Loan Parties in connection with this Agreement and the making
and continuance of the Loans hereunder; and (iii) except as expressly provided herein, that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Bank with any credit or other
information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of any Loan or at any time or times thereafter. 
  
 10.4 Actions in Discretion of Administrative Agent; Instructions From the Banks. 
  
 The Administrative Agent agrees, upon the written request of the Required Banks, to take or refrain from taking any action
of the type specified as being within the Administrative 
  

 - 104 - 








 Agent’s rights, powers or discretion herein, provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to
take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable Law. In the absence of a request by the Required Banks, the Administrative Agent shall have
authority, in its sole discretion, to take or not to take any such action, unless this Agreement specifically requires the consent of the Required Banks or all of the Banks. Any action taken or failure to act pursuant to such instructions or
discretion shall be binding on the Banks, subject to Section 10.6 [Exculpatory Provisions, Etc.]. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.6, no Bank shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the
Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Banks (or if required under Section 11.1, all the Banks), or in the absence of such instructions, in the absolute discretion of the
Administrative Agent. 
  
 10.5 Reimbursement and
Indemnification of Administrative Agent by the Borrower. 
  
 The Borrower unconditionally agrees to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and hold the Administrative Agent harmless against (a) liability for the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements, including
fees and expenses of counsel (including the allocated costs of staff counsel), appraisers and environmental consultants, incurred by the Administrative Agent (i) in connection with the development, negotiation, preparation, printing, execution,
administration, syndication, interpretation and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) relating to any requested amendments, waivers or consents pursuant to the provisions hereof, (iii) in connection with the enforcement of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or collection of amounts due hereunder or thereunder or the proof and allowability of any claim arising under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether in bankruptcy or receivership proceedings or
otherwise, (iv) in any workout or restructuring or in connection with the protection, preservation, exercise or enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection with any foreclosure,
collection or bankruptcy proceedings, and (v) in connection with any Environmental Complaint threatened or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents
(including, without limitation, the protection, preservation, exercise or enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection with any foreclosure, collection or bankruptcy proceedings
or in any workout or restructuring), and (b) all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, in any way relating to or arising out of (i) this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder, and (ii) any
Environmental Complaint in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder, provided that the Borrower shall not be liable for
any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements if the same results from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or if the

 Borrower was not given notice of the subject claim and the opportunity to participate in the defense thereof, at its
expense (except that the Borrower shall remain liable to the extent such failure to give notice does not result in a loss to the Borrower), or if the same results from a compromise or settlement agreement entered into without the consent of the
Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, the Borrower agrees to reimburse and pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent’s regular employees and agents engaged periodically to perform audits of
the Loan Parties’ books, records and business properties. For the avoidance of doubt, references in this Section to the Administrative Agent shall include the Administrative Agent in its capacity as Collateral Agent under each of the Security
Trust Deed (Australia), Fixed and Floating Charge (Australia), and the Guaranty Agreement (Australia). 
  
 10.6 Exculpatory Provisions; Limitation of Liability. 
  
 Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or Affiliates shall (a) be liable to any Bank for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder, or in connection herewith including pursuant to any Loan Document, unless caused by its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct, (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the
Banks for the effectiveness, enforceability, genuineness, validity or the due execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or for any recital, representation, warranty, document, certificate, report or statement herein or made or
furnished under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or (c) be under any obligation to any of the Banks to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof
or thereof on the part of the Loan Parties, or the financial condition of the Loan Parties, or the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Potential Default. No claim may be made by any of the Loan Parties, any Bank, the
Administrative Agent or any of their respective Subsidiaries against the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or Affiliates, or any of them, for any special, indirect or
consequential damages or, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, for any punitive damages in respect of any claim or cause of action (whether based on contract, tort, statutory liability, or any other ground) based on, arising out of or related to
any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, including the negotiation, documentation, administration or collection of the Loans, and each of the Loan Parties, (for itself
and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries), the Administrative Agent and each Bank hereby waive, release and agree never to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether such claim now exists or hereafter arises and whether or not it is now known
or suspected to exist in its favor. Each Bank agrees that, except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by the Administrative Agent hereunder or given to the Administrative Agent for the account of
or with copies for the Banks, the Administrative Agent and each of its directors, officers, employees, agents, 
  

 - 106 - 








 attorneys or Affiliates shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with an credit or other information
concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Loan Parties which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents,
attorneys or Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, references in this Section to the Administrative Agent shall include the Administrative Agent in its capacity as Collateral Agent under each of the Security Trust Deed (Australia), Fixed and
Floating Charge (Australia), and the Guaranty Agreement (Australia). 
  
 10.7 Reimbursement and Indemnification of Administrative Agent by Banks. 
  
 Each Bank agrees to reimburse and indemnify, defend and save the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the Obligation of the Borrower to do so) in proportion to its
Ratable Share harmless from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (including the allocated costs of staff
counsel), and costs of appraisers and environmental consultants, of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, in any way relating to or arising out of
this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder, provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (a) if the same results from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (b) if such Bank was not given notice of the subject claim and the opportunity to
participate in the defense thereof, at its expense (except that such Bank shall remain liable to the extent such failure to give notice does not result in a loss to the Bank), or (c) if the same results from a compromise and settlement agreement
entered into without the consent of such Bank, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, each Bank agrees promptly upon demand to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the
Obligation of the Borrower to do so) in proportion to its Ratable Share for all amounts due and payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in connection with the Administrative Agent’s periodic audit of the Loan Parties’ books,
records and business properties. For the avoidance of doubt, references in this Section to the Administrative Agent shall include the Administrative Agent in its capacity as Collateral Agent under each of the Security Trust Deed (Australia), Fixed
and Floating Charge (Australia), and the Guaranty Agreement (Australia). 
  
 10.8 Reliance by Administrative Agent. 
  
 The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any writing, telegram, telex or teletype message, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, letter, cablegram, statement, order or other document or conversation
by telephone or otherwise believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon the advice and opinions of counsel and other professional advisers selected by the Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder unless 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. 
  

 - 107 - 








 10.9 Notice of Default. 
  
 The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Potential Default or
Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Bank or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Potential Default or Event of Default. 
  
 10.10 Notices. 
  
 The Administrative Agent shall promptly send to each Bank a copy of all
notices received from the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents promptly upon receipt thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the other Banks of each change in the Base
Rate and the effective date thereof. 
  
 10.11 Banks in Their
Individual Capacities; Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. 
  
 With respect to its Revolving Credit Commitment, the Revolving Credit Loans, the Term Loan Commitment and the Term Loan made by it and any other rights and powers given to it as a Bank hereunder or under any of the
other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Bank” and “Banks” shall,
unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. PNC Bank and its Affiliates and each of the Banks and their respective Affiliates may, without liability to account, except as prohibited herein,
make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, acquire equity interests in, accept deposits from, discount drafts for, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory,
underwriting or other business with, the Loan Parties and their Affiliates, in the case of the Administrative Agent, as though it were not acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and in the case of each Bank, as though such Bank were not a Bank
hereunder, in each case without notice to or consent of the other Banks. The Banks acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates may (i) receive information regarding the Loan Parties or any of their
Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Loan Parties or such Subsidiary or Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide
such information to them, and (ii) accept fees and other consideration from the Loan Parties for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Banks. 
  
 10.12 Holders of Notes. 
  
 The Administrative Agent may deem and treat any payee of any Note as the
owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of 
  

 - 108 - 








 any Person who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the holder of any Note shall be
conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor. 
  
 10.13 Equalization of Banks. 
  
 The Banks and the holders of any participations in any Notes agree among themselves that, with respect to all amounts received by any Bank or any such
holder for application on any Obligation hereunder or under any Note or under any such participation, whether received by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim
or by any other non-pro rata source, equitable adjustment will be made in the manner stated in the following sentence so that, in effect, all such excess amounts will be shared ratably among the Banks and such holders in proportion to their
interests in payments under the Notes, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Bank’s Rights], 5.4.2 [Replacement of a Bank] or 5.6 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances]. The Banks or any such
holder receiving any such amount shall purchase for cash from each of the other Banks an interest in such Bank’s Loans in such amount as shall result in a ratable participation by the Banks and each such holder in the aggregate unpaid amount
under the Notes, provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from the Bank or the holder making such purchase, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such
recovery, together with interest or other amounts, if any, required by law (including court order) to be paid by the Bank or the holder making such purchase. 
  
 10.14 Successor Administrative Agent. 
  
 The Administrative Agent (i) may resign as Administrative Agent or (ii) shall resign if such resignation is requested by the Required Banks (if the
Administrative Agent is a Bank, the Administrative Agent’s Loans and its Commitment shall be considered in determining whether the Required Banks have requested such resignation) or required by Section 5.4.2 [Replacement of a Bank], in either
case of (i) or (ii) by giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign under this Agreement, then either (a) the Required Banks shall appoint from among the Banks a successor
agent for the Banks, subject to the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, or (b) if a successor agent shall not be so appointed and approved within the thirty (30) day period following the Administrative Agent’s
notice to the Banks of its resignation, then the Administrative Agent shall appoint, with the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, a successor agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent until such time as the
Required Banks appoint and the Borrower consents to the appointment of a successor agent. Upon its appointment pursuant to either clause (a) or (b) above, such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative
Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent, effective upon its appointment, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated without any other
or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. After the resignation of any Administrative Agent hereunder, the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure to the benefit of such former
Administrative 
  

 - 109 - 








 Agent and such former Administrative Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from
liability for any actions taken or not taken by it while it was an Administrative Agent under this Agreement. 
  
 10.15 Administrative Agent’s Fee; Syndication Agent’s Fee. 
  
 The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent nonrefundable fees under the terms of a Fee Letter dated July 20, 2005,
between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as amended from time to time (the “Agent’s Letter”). 
  
 10.16 Availability of Funds. 
  
 The Administrative Agent may assume that each Bank has made or will make the proceeds of a Loan available to the Administrative Agent unless the
Administrative Agent shall have been notified by such Bank on or before the later of (1) the close of Business on the Business Day preceding the Borrowing Date with respect to such Loan or two (2) hours before the time on which the Administrative
Agent actually funds the proceeds of such Loan to the Borrower (whether using its own funds pursuant to this Section 10.16 or using proceeds deposited with the Administrative Agent by the Banks and whether such funding occurs before or after the
time on which Banks are required to deposit the proceeds of such Loan with the Administrative Agent). The Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make available to the Borrower a corresponding
amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Bank, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Bank (or, if such Bank fails to pay such amount
forthwith upon such demand from the Borrower) together with interest thereon, in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the Borrower and ending on the date the Administrative Agent recovers
such amount, at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three (3) days after such interest shall begin to accrue and (ii) the applicable interest rate in respect of such Loan after the end of such three-day
period. 
  
 10.17 Calculations. 
  
 In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Administrative
Agent shall not be liable for any error in computing the amount payable to any Bank whether in respect of the Loans, fees or any other amounts due to the Banks under this Agreement. In the event an error in computing any amount payable to any Bank
is made, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each affected Bank shall, forthwith upon discovery of such error, make such adjustments as shall be required to correct such error, and any compensation therefor will be calculated at the Federal
Funds Effective Rate.

 10.18 Beneficiaries. 
  
 Except as expressly provided herein, the provisions of this Section 10 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent (including the Administrative Agent in its capacity as Collateral Agent under each of the Security Trust Deed (Australia), Fixed and Floating Charge (Australia), and the Guaranty Agreement (Australia)) and the Banks, and the Loan Parties shall
not have any rights to rely on or enforce any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as agent of the Banks and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have
assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any of the Loan Parties. 
  
 10.19 No Reliance on Agent’s Customer Identification Program. 
  
 Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that neither such Bank, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on
the Agent to carry out such Bank’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder,
including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with
any of the Loan Parties, their Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (1) any identity verification procedures, (2) any recordkeeping, (3) comparisons with government lists, (4) customer
notices or (5) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Laws. 
  
 10.20 Power of Attorney for Quebec Purposes. 
  
 For greater certainty, and without limiting the powers of the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, each of the Banks hereby acknowledges that the Administrative Agent shall, for the
purposes of holding any security granted under the Québec Security pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure payment of the Demand Debenture (or any similar instruments), be the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney
(fondé de pouvoir) (within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec) for all present and future Banks and holders of such Demand Debenture. Each of the Banks hereby constitutes, to the extent necessary, the
Administrative Agent as the holder of such irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) in order to hold security granted under the Quebec Security in the Province of Quebec to secure the Demand Debenture (or any similar
instrument). Each assignee of a Bank shall be deemed to have confirmed and ratified the constitution of the Administrative Agent as the holder of such irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) by execution of the relevant
Assignment and Assumption Agreement. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 32 of the Special Powers of Legal Persons Act (Quebec), the Administrative Agent may acquire and be the holder of the Demand Debenture (or any similar
instrument). Each of the Loan Parties hereby acknowledges that the Demand Debenture constitutes a title of indebtedness, as such term is used in Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec. The Administrative Agent hereby acknowledges and
accepts the Quebec Security as forming part of the Loan Documents and agrees to be bound by the provisions thereof. 
  

 - 111 - 








 Notwithstanding Section 11.8 hereof, the provisions of this Section 10.20 shall be governed by the laws
of the Province of Quebec and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. 
  
 11. MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 11.1
Modifications, Amendments or Waivers. 
  
 With the written
consent of the Required Banks, the Administrative Agent, acting on behalf of all the Banks, and the Borrower, on behalf of the Loan Parties, may from time to time enter into written agreements amending or changing any provision of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or the rights of the Banks or the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder, or may grant written waivers or consents to a departure from the due performance of the Obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder. Any such
agreement, waiver or consent made with such written consent shall be effective to bind all the Banks and the Loan Parties; provided, that, without the written consent of all the Banks, no such agreement, waiver or consent may be made which
will: 
  
 11.1.1. Increase of Commitment; Extension of
Expiration Date. 
  
 Increase the amount of the Revolving
Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment of any Bank hereunder or extend the Expiration Date; 
  
 11.1.2. Extension of Payment; Reduction of Principal Interest or Fees; Modification of Terms of Payment. 
  
 Whether or not any Loans are outstanding, extend the time for payment of principal or interest of any Loan (excluding the due date of any mandatory
prepayment of a Loan except for mandatory prepayments required under Section 5.5.5 and mandatory reductions of the Commitments on the Expiration Date), the Commitment Fee or any other fee payable to any Bank, or reduce the principal amount of or the
rate of interest borne by any Loan or reduce the Commitment Fee or any other fee payable to any Bank, or otherwise affect the terms of payment of the principal of or interest of any Loan, the Commitment Fee or any other fee payable to any Bank;

  
 11.1.3. Release of Collateral or Guarantor. 

 
 Except for sales of assets or capital stock permitted by Section 8.2.7
[Disposition of Assets or Subsidiaries], release any Collateral, any Guarantor from its Obligations under any Guaranty Agreement or any other security for any of the Loan Parties’ Obligations; or 
  

 - 112 - 








 11.1.4. Miscellaneous. 
  
 Amend Section 5.2 [Pro Rata Treatment of Banks], 10.6 [Exculpatory Provisions, Etc.] or 10.13 [Equalization of Banks] or
this Section 11.1, alter any provision regarding the pro rata treatment of the Banks, change the definition of Required Banks, or change any requirement providing for the Banks or the Required Banks to authorize the taking of any action hereunder;

  
 provided, further, that (i) no agreement, waiver or consent which would
modify the interests, rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent or as the issuer of Letters of Credit shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, and (ii) no agreement,
waiver or consent which would modify the interests, rights or obligations of any Bank in its capacity as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be effective without the written consent of such Bank. The Administrative Agent shall, upon request of the
Borrower, and without the consent of any Bank if no Potential Default or Event of Default exists, release from the Lien of the relevant Loan Documents any Collateral upon the sale or disposition thereof which is permitted by Section 8.2.7. Upon the
request of the Borrower and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, release from the Lien of the relevant Loan Documents any Collateral that is subject to a Purchase Money
Security Interest permitted under this Agreement to the extent such release is requested by the party providing such purchase money financing. 
  
 11.2 No Implied Waivers; Cumulative Remedies; Writing Required. 
  
 No course of dealing and no delay or failure of the Administrative Agent or any Bank in exercising any right, power, remedy
or privilege under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any other or future exercise thereof or operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce
such a right, power, remedy or privilege preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Banks under this Agreement and any other Loan Documents are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Bank of any breach or default under this Agreement or any such waiver of any
provision or condition of this Agreement must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. 
  
 11.3 Reimbursement and Indemnification of Banks by the Borrower; Taxes. 
  
 The Borrower agrees unconditionally upon demand to pay or reimburse to each Bank (other than the Administrative Agent, as to
which the Borrower’s Obligations are set forth in Section 10.5 [Reimbursement of Administrative Agent By Borrower, Etc.]) and to save such Bank harmless against (i) liability for the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and
disbursements (including fees and expenses of counsel (including allocated costs of staff counsel) for each Bank except with respect to the following clauses (a) and (b)), incurred by such 
  

 - 113 - 








 Bank (a) in connection with the administration and interpretation of this Agreement, and other instruments and documents
to be delivered hereunder, (b) relating to any amendments, waivers or consents pursuant to the provisions hereof, (c) in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or collection of amounts due hereunder or
thereunder or the proof and allowability of any claim arising under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether in bankruptcy or receivership proceedings or otherwise, (d) in any workout or restructuring or in connection with the protection,
preservation, exercise or enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection with any foreclosure, collection, insolvency, or bankruptcy proceedings, and (e) in connection with any
Environmental Complaint threatened or asserted against the Bank in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the protection, preservation, exercise or enforcement of any of the
terms hereof or of any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection with any foreclosure, collection or bankruptcy proceedings or in any workout or restructuring), or (ii) all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Bank, in its capacity as such, in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Bank hereunder or thereunder, provided that the Borrower shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (A) if the same results from such Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (B) if the Borrower was not given notice of the subject claim and the opportunity to participate in the
defense thereof, at its expense (except that the Borrower shall remain liable to the extent such failure to give notice does not result in a loss to the Borrower), or (C) if the same results from a compromise or settlement agreement entered into
without the consent of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Banks will attempt to minimize the fees and expenses of legal counsel for the Banks which are subject to reimbursement by the Borrower hereunder by considering the
usage of one law firm to represent the Banks and the Administrative Agent if appropriate under the circumstances. The Borrower agrees unconditionally to pay all stamp, document, transfer, recording, goods and services (or value added), or filing
taxes or fees and similar impositions now or hereafter determined by the Administrative Agent or any Bank to be payable in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby, and the Borrower agrees
unconditionally to save the Administrative Agent and the Banks harmless from and against any and all present or future claims, liabilities or losses with respect to or resulting from any omission to pay or delay in paying any such taxes, fees or
impositions. 
  
 11.4 Holidays. 
  
 Whenever payment of a Loan to be made or taken hereunder shall be due on a
day which is not a Business Day such payment shall be due on the next Business Day (except as provided in Section 4.2 [Interest Periods] with respect to Interest Periods under the Euro-Rate Option) and such extension of time shall be included in
computing interest and fees, except that the Loans shall be due on the Business Day preceding the Expiration Date if the Expiration Date 
  

 - 114 - 








 is not a Business Day. Whenever any payment or action to be made or taken hereunder (other than payment of the Loans)
shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment or action shall be made or taken on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall not be included in computing interest or fees, if any, in connection
with such payment or action. 
  
 11.5 Funding by Branch,
Subsidiary or Affiliate. 
  
 11.5.1. Notional Funding.

  
 Each Bank shall have the right from time to time, without
notice to the Borrower, to deem any branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate (which for the purposes of this Section 11.5 shall mean any corporation or association which is directly or indirectly controlled by or is under direct or indirect common control
with any corporation or association which directly or indirectly controls such Bank) of such Bank to have made, maintained or funded any Loan to which the Euro-Rate Option applies at any time, provided that immediately following (on the
assumption that a payment were then due from the Borrower to such other office), and as a result of such change, the Borrower would not be under any greater financial obligation pursuant to Section 5.6 [Additional Compensation in Certain
Circumstances] than it would have been in the absence of such change. Notional funding offices may be selected by each Bank without regard to such Bank’s actual methods of making, maintaining or funding the Loans or any sources of funding
actually used by or available to such Bank. 
  
 11.5.2. Actual
Funding. 
  
 Each Bank shall have the right from time to time
to make or maintain any Loan by arranging for a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Bank to make or maintain such Loan subject to the last sentence of this Section 11.5.2. If any Bank causes a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to make or maintain
any part of the Loans hereunder, all terms and conditions of this Agreement shall, except where the context clearly requires otherwise, be applicable to such part of the Loans to the same extent as if such Loans were made or maintained by such Bank,
but in no event shall any Bank’s use of such a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to make or maintain any part of the Loans hereunder cause such Bank or such branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to incur any cost or expenses payable by the Borrower
hereunder or require the Borrower to pay any other compensation to any Bank (including any expenses incurred or payable pursuant to Section 5.6 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances]) which would otherwise not be incurred. 
  
 11.6 Notices. 
  
 Any notice, request, demand, direction or other communication (for purposes
of this Section 11.6 only, a “Notice”) to be given to or made upon any party hereto under any provision of this Agreement shall be given or made by telephone or in writing (which includes means of electronic transmission (i.e.,
“e-mail”) or facsimile transmission or by setting forth such Notice on a site on the World Wide Web (a “Website Posting”) if Notice of such Website 
  

 - 115 -

 (ii) If given by mail, four days after such Notice is deposited with the United States Postal Service, with first-class
postage prepaid, return receipt requested or Australia Post, by registered mail (as the case may require); 
  
 (iii) In the case of a telephonic Notice, when a party is contacted by telephone, if delivery of such telephonic Notice is confirmed no later than the
next Business Day by hand delivery, a facsimile or electronic transmission, a Website Posting or overnight courier delivery of a confirmatory notice (received at or before noon on such next Business Day); 
  
 (iv) In the case of a facsimile transmission, when sent to the applicable
party’s facsimile machine’s telephone number if the party sending such Notice receives confirmation of the delivery thereof from its own facsimile machine; 
  
 (v) In the case of electronic transmission, when actually received; 
  
 (vi) In the case of a Website Posting, upon delivery of a Notice of such
posting (including the information necessary to access such web site) by another means set forth in this Section 11.6; and 
  
 (vii) If given by any other means (including by overnight courier), when actually received. 
  
 Any Bank giving a Notice to a Loan Party shall concurrently send a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify the other Banks of its receipt of such Notice. 
  
 11.7 Severability. 
  
 The provisions of this
Agreement are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity
or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction. 
  

 - 116 - 








 11.8 Governing Law. 
  
 Each Letter of Credit and Section 2.10 [Letter of Credit Subfacility] shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and Practice
for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500, as the same may be revised or amended from time to time, and to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the internal laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania without regard to its conflict of laws principles, and the balance of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract under the Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed and
enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to its conflict of laws principles. 
  
 11.9 Prior Understanding. 
  
 This Agreement and the other Loan Documents supersede all prior understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties hereto and
thereto relating to the transactions provided for herein and therein, including any prior confidentiality agreements and commitments. 
  
 11.10 Duration; Survival. 
  
 All representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained herein or made in connection herewith shall survive the making of Loans and issuance of
Letters of Credit and shall not be waived by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any investigation by the Administrative Agent or the Banks, the making of Loans, issuance of Letters of Credit, or payment in full of the Loans. All covenants
and agreements of the Loan Parties contained in Sections 8.1 [Affirmative Covenants], 8.2 [Negative Covenants] and 8.3 [Reporting Requirements] herein shall continue in full force and effect from and after the date hereof so long as the Borrower may
borrow or request Letters of Credit hereunder and until termination of the Commitments and payment in full of the Loans and expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit. All covenants and agreements of the Borrower contained herein relating to
the payment of principal, interest, premiums, additional compensation or expenses and indemnification, including those set forth in the Notes, Section 5 [Payments] and Sections 10.5 [Reimbursement of Administrative Agent by Borrower, Etc.], 10.7

 - 117 - 








 of or sell participations in all or any part of its Commitments and the Loans made by it to one or more banks or other
entities, subject to the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with respect to any assignee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, provided that (1) no consent of the Borrower shall be required (A) if an Event of
Default exists and is continuing, or (B) in the case of an assignment by a Bank to an Affiliate of such Bank, and (2) any assignment by a Bank to a Person other than an Affiliate of such Bank may not be made in amounts less than the lesser of
$5,000,000 or the amount of the assigning Bank’s Commitment, provided that any Bank party to this Agreement as of the Closing Date (each, an “Existing Bank”) may make assignments to any other Existing Bank in any amount
(without regard to the $5,000,000 limitation in clause (2)). In the case of an assignment, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless
otherwise provided therein), the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would have if it had been a signatory Bank hereunder, the Commitments shall be adjusted accordingly, and upon surrender of any Note subject to such assignment, the Borrower
shall execute and deliver a new Note to the assignee in an amount equal to the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan assumed by it and a new Revolving Credit Note or Term Note to the assigning Bank in an amount equal to the
Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan retained by it hereunder. Any Bank which assigns any or all of its Commitment or Loans to a Person other than an Affiliate of such Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent a service fee in the amount of
$3,500 for each assignment. In the case of a participation, the participant shall only have the rights specified in Section 9.2.3 [Set-off] (the participant’s rights against such Bank in respect of such participation to be those set forth in
the agreement executed by such Bank in favor of the participant relating thereto and not to include any voting rights except with respect to changes of the type referenced in Sections 11.1.1 [Increase of Commitment, Etc.], 11.1.2 [Extension of
Payment, Etc.], or 11.1.3 [Release of Collateral or Guarantor]), all of such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall remain unchanged, and all amounts payable by any Loan Party hereunder or thereunder shall be
determined as if such Bank had not sold such participation. 
  
 (ii) Any assignee or participant which is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the form of certificate described in Section 11.17 [Tax
Withholding Clause] relating to federal income tax withholding. Each Bank may furnish any publicly available information concerning any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries and any other information concerning any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries in the
possession of such Bank from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees or participants), provided that such assignees and participants agree to be bound by the provisions of Section 11.12 [Confidentiality].

  
 (iii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement,
any Bank may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, its Note and the other Loan Documents to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the FRB or U.S. Treasury
Regulation 31 CFR Section 203.14 without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. No such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release the transferor Bank of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan
Document.

 11.12.1. General. 
  
 The Administrative Agent and the Banks each agree to keep confidential all information obtained from any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries which is

this Agreement and for the purposes contemplated hereby. The Administrative Agent and the Banks shall be permitted to disclose such information (i) to outside legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors who need to know such
information in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement, subject to agreement of such Persons to maintain the confidentiality, (ii) to assignees and participants as contemplated by Section 11.11, and prospective assignees
and participants, (iii) to the extent requested by any bank regulatory authority or, with notice to the Borrower, as otherwise required by applicable Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, or in connection with any investigation or
proceeding arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iv) if it becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement or becomes available from a source not known to be subject to confidentiality
restrictions, or (v) if the Borrower shall have consented to such disclosure. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the information subject to this Section 11.12.1 shall not include, and the Administrative Agent and each Bank may disclose
without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the “tax treatment” and “tax structure” (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all
materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Administrative Agent or such Bank relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that with respect to any document or similar item that in
either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction as well as other information, this sentence shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the tax treatment or tax
structure of the Loans, Letters of Credit and transactions contemplated hereby. 
  
 11.12.2. Sharing Information With Affiliates of the Banks.

or one or more of its Affiliates (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Bank or by one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Bank and each of the Loan Parties hereby authorizes each Bank to share any information delivered to
such Bank by such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Bank to enter into this Agreement, to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Bank, it being understood that any such
Subsidiary or affiliate of any Bank receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of Section 11.12.1 as if it were a Bank hereunder. Such Authorization shall survive the repayment of the Loans and other Obligations and the termination
of the Commitments.

 11.13 Counterparts. 
  
 This Agreement may be executed by different parties hereto on any number of separate counterparts, each of which, when so

Whenever the Administrative Agent’s or any Bank’s consent is required to be obtained under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
as a condition to any action, inaction, condition or event, the Administrative Agent and each Bank shall be authorized to give or withhold such consent in its sole and absolute discretion and to condition its consent upon the giving of additional
collateral, the payment of money or any other matter. 
  
 11.15
Exceptions. 
  
 The representations, warranties and
covenants contained herein shall be independent of each other, and no exception to any representation, warranty or covenant shall be deemed to be an exception to any other representation, warranty or covenant contained herein unless expressly
provided, nor shall any such exceptions be deemed to permit any action or omission that would be in contravention of applicable Law.

 11.17 Certifications from Banks and Participants. 
  
 11.17.1. Tax Withholding Clause. 
  
 Each Bank or assignee or participant of a Bank that is not incorporated under
the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and, upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, each other Bank or assignee or participant of a Bank) agrees that it will deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent two (2) duly completed appropriate valid Withholding Certificates (as defined under § 1.1441-1(c)(16) of the Income Tax Regulations (the “Regulations”)) certifying its status (i.e. U.S. or foreign person) and, if
appropriate, making a claim of reduced, or exemption from, U.S. withholding tax on the basis of an income tax treaty or an exemption provided by the Internal Revenue Code. The term “Withholding Certificate” means a Form W-9; a Form
W-8BEN; a Form W-8ECI; a Form W-8IMY and the related statements and certifications as required under § 1.1441-1(e)(2) and/or (3) of the Regulations; a statement described in § 1.871-14(c)(2)(v) of the Regulations; or any other certificates
under the Internal Revenue Code or Regulations that certify or establish the status of a payee or beneficial owner as a U.S. or foreign person. Each Bank, assignee or participant required to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a
Withholding Certificate pursuant to the preceding sentence shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate as follows: (A) each Bank which is a party hereto on the Closing Date shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate at least five (5)
Business Days prior to the first date on which any interest or fees are payable by the Borrower hereunder for the account of such Bank; (B) each assignee or participant shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate at least five (5) Business Days
before the effective date of such assignment or participation (unless the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall permit such assignee or participant to deliver such valid Withholding Certificate less than five (5) Business Days before
such date in which case it shall be due on the date specified by the Administrative Agent). Each Bank, assignee or participant which so delivers a valid Withholding Certificate further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent two (2) additional copies of such Withholding Certificate (or a successor form) on or before the date that such Withholding Certificate expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the
most recent Withholding Certificate so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the submission of a Withholding
Certificate claiming a reduced rate of or exemption from U.S. withholding tax, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to withhold United States federal income taxes at the full 30% withholding rate if in its reasonable judgment it is required to
do so under the due diligence requirements imposed upon a withholding agent under § 1.1441-7(b) of the Regulations. Further, the Administrative Agent is indemnified under § 1.1461-1(e) of the Regulations against any claims and demands of
any Bank or assignee or participant of a Bank for the amount of any tax it deducts and withholds in accordance with regulations under § 1441 of the Internal Revenue Code. 
  

 - 121 - 








 11.17.2. USA Patriot Act. 
  
 Each Bank or assignee or participant of a Bank that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a
state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a
physical presence in the United states or foreign county, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Agent the certification, or, if applicable,
recertification, certifying that such Bank is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations: (1) within 10 days after the Closing Date, and (2) as such other
times as are required under the USA Patriot Act. 
  
 11.18
Joinder of Guarantors. 
  
 Any Subsidiary of the Borrower
which is required to join this Agreement as a Guarantor pursuant to Section 8.2.9 [Subsidiaries, Partnerships and Joint Ventures] shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) a Guarantor Joinder in substantially the form attached hereto
as Exhibit 1.1(G)(1) pursuant to which it shall join as a Guarantor each of the documents to which the Guarantors are parties; (ii) documents in the forms described in Section 7.1 [First Loans] modified as appropriate to relate to such
Subsidiary; and (iii) documents necessary to grant and perfect Prior Security Interests to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Banks in all Collateral held by such Subsidiary. The Loan Parties shall deliver such Guarantor Joinder and
related documents to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after the date of the filing of such Subsidiary’s articles of incorporation or constitution if the Subsidiary is a corporation, the date of the filing of its
certificate of limited partnership if it is a limited partnership or the date of its organization if it is an entity other than a limited partnership or corporation.

 SCHEDULE 1.1(Q)(1) 
 Qualified Accounts 
  
 An
Account shall not be considered a Qualified Account unless the Administrative Agent determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such Account has met the following minimum requirements: 
  
 (i) the Account represents a complete bona fide transaction for goods sold
and delivered or services rendered (but excluding any amounts in the nature of a service charge added to the amount due on an invoice because the invoice has not been paid when due) which requires no further act under any circumstances on the part
of any Loan Party to make such Account payable by the Account Debtor; the Account arises from an arm’s-length transaction in the ordinary course of a Loan Party’s business between such Loan Party and an Account Debtor which is not an
Affiliate of any Loan Party or an officer, stockholder or employee of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party, or a member of the family of an officer, stockholder or employee of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party;

  
 (ii) with the exception of Re-Aged Accounts, the Account shall
not (a) be or have been unpaid more than ninety (90) days from the original invoice date, (b) be delinquent more than sixty (60) days, or (c) be payable by an Account Debtor (1) more than 50% of whose Accounts have remained unpaid for more than
ninety (90) days from the original invoice date or are delinquent more than sixty (60) days, or (2) whose Accounts constitute, in the Administrative Agent’s determination, an unduly high percentage of the aggregate amount of all outstanding
Accounts. Accounts which are Re-Aged Accounts acceptable to the Administrative Agent and which otherwise meet all other criteria for Qualified Accounts shall be included in the Borrowing Base; provided however, the amount of Re-Aged Accounts which
shall constitute Qualified Accounts shall not exceed $1,000,000; 
  
 (iii) the goods the sale of which gave rise to the Account were shipped or delivered or provided to the Account Debtor on an absolute sale basis and not on a bill and hold sale basis, a consignment sale basis, a guaranteed sale basis, a
sale or return basis, or on the basis of any other similar understanding, and no part of such goods has been returned or rejected; 
  
 (iv) the Account is not evidenced by chattel paper or an instrument of any kind; 
  
 (v) the Account Debtor with respect to the Account (a) is Solvent, (b) is not the subject of any bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings of any kind or of any other proceeding or action, threatened or pending, which might have a materially adverse effect on its business, and (c) is not, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, deemed ineligible for credit for
other reasons (including, without limitation, unsatisfactory past experiences of any Loan Party or any of the Banks with the Account Debtor or unsatisfactory reputation of the Account Debtor); 
  
 (vi) (a) the Account Debtor is not located outside Canada, the continental
United States of America or Australia or (b) if the Account Debtor is located outside Canada, the continental United States of America or Australia, the Account is supported by a letter of credit or FICA insurance deemed adequate and acceptable by
the Administrative Agent; 







 (vii) (a) the Account Debtor is not the government of the United States of America, or any department,
agency or instrumentality thereof, or (b) if the Account Debtor is an entity mentioned in clause (vii)(a), the Federal Assignment of Claims Act (or applicable similar legislation) has been fully complied with so as to validly perfect the Banks’
Prior Security Interest to the Administrative Agent’s satisfaction; 
  
 (viii) the Account is a valid, binding and legally enforceable obligation of the Account Debtor with respect thereto and is not subject to any dispute, condition, contingency, offset, recoupment, reduction, claim for
credit, allowance, adjustment, counterclaim or defense on the part of such Account Debtor, and no facts exist which may provide a basis for any of the foregoing in the present or future; 
  
 (ix) the Account is subject to the Administrative Agent’s and the Banks’ Prior Security Interest and is not
subject to any other Lien, claim, encumbrance or security interest whatsoever; 
  
 (x) the Account is evidenced by an invoice or other documentation and arises from a contract which is in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided however, that Accounts which are Deferred
Revenue Accounts acceptable to the Administrative Agent and which otherwise meet all other criteria for Qualified Accounts shall be included in the Borrowing Base at an advance rate equal to sixty percent (60%) of the amount of such Deferred Revenue
Accounts; 
  
 (xi) such Loan Party has observed and complied with
all laws of the state in which the Account Debtor or the Account is located which, if not observed and complied with, would deny to such Loan Party access to the courts of such state; 
  
 (xii) the Account is not subject to any provision prohibiting its assignment or requiring notice of or consent to such
assignment; 
  
 (xiii) the goods giving rise to the Account were
not, at the time of sale thereof, subject to any Lien or encumbrance except the Administrative Agent and the Banks’ Prior Security Interest; 
  
 (xiv) the Account is payable in freely transferable United States Dollars, Canadian dollars, or Australian dollars; and 
  
 (xv) the Account is not, or should not be, disqualified for any other reason
generally accepted in the commercial finance business. 
  
 In addition to the
foregoing requirements, Accounts of any Account Debtor which are otherwise Qualified Accounts shall be reduced to the extent of any accounts payable (including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent’s estimate of any contingent
liabilities) by the Borrower to such Account Debtor (“Contras”); provided that the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may determine that none of the Accounts in respect to such Account Debtor shall be Qualified Accounts
in the event that there exists an unreasonably large amount of payables owing to such Account Debtor. 







 SCHEDULE 1.1(Q)(2) 
 Qualified Inventory 
  
 Inventory shall not be considered Qualified Inventory unless the Administrative Agent determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such Inventory has met the following minimum requirements: 
  
 (i) the Inventory is either (a) finished goods or (b) raw materials other
than supplies, but excluding in all cases any work-in-process and any goods which have been shipped, delivered, sold by, purchased by or provided to a Loan Party on a bill and hold, consignment sale, guaranteed sale, or sale or return basis, or any
other similar basis or understanding other than an absolute sale; 
  
 (ii) the Inventory is new, of good and merchantable quality, and represents no more than a twelve (12) month supply of such finished goods or raw materials; 
  
 (iii) the Inventory is located on premises listed on Schedule A to the Security Agreement and, with respect to inventory
locations at facilities leased to a Loan Party, the Administrative Agent has received a Landlord’s Waiver in favor of the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit 7.1.16 hereto, or is Inventory which is in transit and is
so identified on the relevant Schedule of Inventory; provided, however, that Inventory which meets the requirements of “Qualified Inventory” hereunder other than this clause (iii) may be included as “Qualified
Inventory” hereunder in an aggregate amount not to exceed $15,000,000 provided that rent reserves shall have been established by the Administrative Agent in an amount not less than three (3) months rent for such leased facilities for which the
Administrative Agent has not received a Landlord’s Waiver as required under this clause (iii) (“Rent Reserves”), and such rent reserves shall reduce the Borrowing Base; 
  
 (iv) the Inventory is not stored with a bailee, warehouseman, consignee or similar party unless the Administrative Agent has
given its prior written consent and a Loan Party has caused such bailee, warehouseman, consignee or similar party to issue and deliver to the Administrative Agent, in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent, warehouse receipts or
similar type documentation therefor in the Administrative Agent’s name; 
  
 (v) the Inventory is subject to the Administrative Agent’s and the Banks’ Prior Security Interest and is not subject to any other Lien; and 
  
 (vi) the Inventory has not been manufactured in violation of any federal minimum wage or overtime laws, including, without
limitation, the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. § 215(a)(1).
