THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 

 

	1.	DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION. 

 1.1 Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings specified therefor on Schedule 1.1. 

1.2 Accounting Terms. All accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP;
provided, however, that (i) if any Borrower notifies Agent that such Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any Accounting Change occurring after the Closing Date or in the application thereof on the


  
 1 








 
operation of such provision (or if Agent notifies any Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is
given before or after such Accounting Change or in the application thereof, then Agent and such Borrower agree that they will negotiate in good faith amendments to the provisions of this Agreement that are directly affected by such Accounting Change
with the intent of having the respective positions of Lenders and such Borrower after such Accounting Change conform as nearly as possible to their respective positions as of the Closing Date and, until any such amendments have been agreed upon, the
provisions in this Agreement shall be calculated as if no such Accounting Change had occurred, (ii) to the extent expressly required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, certain calculations shall be made on a pro forma basis,
and (iii) for purposes of determining compliance with any incurrence or expenditure tests set forth in Sections 5, 6 and 7, any amounts so incurred or expended (to the extent incurred or expended in a currency other
than Dollars) shall be converted into Dollars on the basis of the exchange rates (as shown on the Bloomberg currency page for such currency or, if the same does not provide such exchange rate, by reference to such other publicly available service
for displaying exchange rates as may be reasonably selected by Agent or, in the event no such service is selected, on such other basis as is reasonably satisfactory to Agent) as in effect on the date of such incurrence or expenditure under any
provision of any such Section that has an aggregate Dollar limitation provided for therein (and to the extent the respective incurrence or expenditure test regulates the aggregate amount outstanding at any time and it is expressed in terms of
Dollars, all outstanding amounts originally incurred or spent in currencies other than Dollars shall be converted into Dollars on the basis of the exchange rates (as shown on the Bloomberg currency page for such currency or, if the same does not
provide such exchange rate, by reference to such other publicly available service for displaying exchange rates as may be reasonably selected by Agent or, in the event no such service is selected, on such other basis as is reasonably satisfactory to
Agent) as in effect on the date of any new incurrence or expenditures made under any provision of any such Section that regulates the Dollar amount outstanding at any time). Notwithstanding the foregoing, all financial statements delivered hereunder
shall be prepared, and all financial covenants contained herein shall be calculated, without giving effect to any election under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 (or any similar accounting principle) permitting a Person to
value its financial liabilities or Indebtedness at the fair value thereof. When used herein, the term “financial statements” shall include the notes and schedules thereto. 

1.3 Code. Any terms used in this Agreement that are defined in the Code shall be construed and defined as set forth in the
Code unless otherwise defined herein; provided, however, that to the extent that the Code is used to define any term herein and such term is defined differently in different Articles of the Code, the definition of such term contained in
Article 9 of the Code shall govern. 
 1.4 Construction. Unless the context of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document clearly requires otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to the singular include the plural, the terms “includes” and “including” are not limiting, and the term “or” has,
except where otherwise indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or.” The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and similar terms in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document refer to this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be, as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be. Section, subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit

references herein are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any reference in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document to any agreement, instrument, or document shall include all
alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements, thereto and thereof, as applicable (subject to any restrictions on such alterations, amendments, changes, extensions,
modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements set forth herein). The words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and
intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts, and contract rights. Any reference herein or in any other Loan Document to the satisfaction, repayment, or payment in full of the Obligations shall mean the repayment in full in
cash or immediately available funds (or, (a) in the case of contingent reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, providing Letter of Credit Collateralization, and (b) in the case of obligations with respect to Bank
Products (other than Hedge Obligations), providing Bank Product Collateralization) of all of the Obligations (including the payment of any termination amount then applicable (or which would or could become applicable as a result of the repayment of
the other Obligations) under Hedge Agreements provided by Hedge Providers) other than (i) unasserted contingent expense and indemnification Obligations, (ii) any Bank Product Obligations (other than Hedge Obligations) that, at such time,
are allowed by the applicable Bank Product Provider to remain outstanding without being required to be repaid or cash collateralized, and (iii) any Hedge Obligations that, at such time, are allowed by the applicable Hedge Provider to remain
outstanding without being required to be repaid. Any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and permitted assigns. Any requirement of a writing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall
be satisfied by the transmission of a Record. Any reference to any law shall include all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending, replacing or interpreting such law and any reference to any law, rule or regulation shall, unless
otherwise specified, refer to such law, rule or regulation as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time. Any references in this Agreement to “Articles” and/or “Sections” which make reference to any particular piece of
legislation or statute, including without limitation, Bankruptcy Code, ERISA, IRC and/or the Code shall for greater certainty mean the equivalent section in the applicable piece of legislation to the extent that the context implies reference to such
other similar or equivalent legislation as is in effect from time to time in any other applicable jurisdiction, as applicable. Furthermore, where any such reference is meant to apply to such other similar or equivalent legislation where such other
similar or equivalent legislation has parallel or like concepts, then such references shall import such parallel or like concepts from such other similar or equivalent legislation, as applicable. Any reference in any of the Loan Documents to a
Permitted Lien is not intended to subordinate or postpone, and shall not be interpreted as subordinating or postponing, or as an agreement to subordinate or postpone, any Lien created by any of the Loan Documents to any Permitted Lien. 

1.5 Schedules and Exhibits. All of the schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated
herein by reference. 
 1.6 Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents; Applicable Currency.

 3 








 (b) For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Dollar Equivalent of
any Revolver Advances, Letters of Credit, other Obligations and other references to amounts denominated in Euros shall be determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in respect of the most recent Revaluation Date. Such Dollar
Equivalent shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date for such Advances, Letters of Credit and other Obligations and shall be the Dollar Equivalent employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until the next
Revaluation Date to occur for such Advances, Letters of Credit and other Obligations. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the applicable amount of any currency for purposes of the Loan Documents (including for purposes of financial
statements and all calculations in connection with financial covenants and the Borrowing Base) shall be the Dollar Equivalent thereof. 
 (c) Wherever in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in connection with a borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment of an Advance or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of
Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Advance or Letter of Credit is denominated in Euros, such amount shall be the relevant Euro Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest
Euro, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as reasonably determined by Agent. Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be. 
 (d) For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, all repayments, prepayments or reimbursements with respect to Advances, Letters of Credit and other Obligations shall be made in the
currency applicable to such Advance, Letter of Credit or other Obligation except as otherwise provided herein. 
  

	2.	LOANS AND TERMS OF PAYMENT. 

 2.1 Revolver Advances. 
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement (including without limitation the proviso to this Section 2.1(a)), and during the Revolver Availability Period: 
 (i) each Multicurrency Revolver Lender agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) to make revolving loans (“Multicurrency Revolver Advances”) denominated in Dollars or Euros
in an aggregate amount (after giving effect to such Multicurrency Revolver Advance) at any one time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of: 
 (A) such Multicurrency Revolver Lender’s Multicurrency Revolver Commitment, and 
 (B) such Multicurrency Revolver Lender’s Pro Rata Share of an amount equal to (1) the lesser of (x) the Maximum Multicurrency Revolver Amount and (y) the Borrowing Base at such
time minus (2) (x) the Multicurrency Revolver Letter of Credit Usage at such time plus (y) the principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at such time; and 

  
 4 








 (ii) each Dollar Revolver Lender agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly
and severally) to make revolving loans (“Dollar Revolver Advances” and together with the Multicurrency Revolver Advances, the “Revolver Advances”) denominated in Dollars in an aggregate amount (after giving effect
to such Dollar Revolver Advance) at any one time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of: 
 (A) such
Dollar Revolver Lender’s Dollar Revolver Commitment, and 
 (B) such Dollar Revolver Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of an amount equal to (1) the lesser of (x) the Maximum Dollar Revolver Amount and (y) the Borrowing Base at such time minus (2) (x) the Dollar Revolver Letter of Credit Usage at such time; 

provided, however, in each case, that after giving effect to the making of any Revolver Advance, the Revolver Usage shall not
exceed the lesser of (1) the Maximum Revolver Amount and (2) the Borrowing Base at such time. 
 For purposes of this
Section 2.1(a), the Borrowing Base will be based upon the Borrowing Base Certificate most recently delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (b) Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1 may be repaid and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, reborrowed at any time during the term of this Agreement. The
outstanding principal amount of the Revolver Advances, together with interest accrued thereon, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which they are declared due and payable pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement. 
 (c) Anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1 notwithstanding, Agent shall have the right (but not
the obligation), in consultation with the Company, to establish, increase, reduce, eliminate, or otherwise adjust reserves from time to time against the Borrowing Base in such amounts, and with respect to such matters, as Agent in its Permitted
Discretion shall deem necessary or appropriate, including, but not limited to, (i) reserves in an amount equal to (A) the Bank Product Reserve Amount and (B) the Carve Out Reserve Amount, (ii) subject to the proviso in clause
(e) of the definition of “Eligible Inventory”, Rent Reserves, (iii) reserves with respect to (A) sums that the Company is or its Subsidiaries are required to pay under any Section of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
(such as taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased assets (other than Real Property), rents or other amounts payable under such leases) and has failed to pay when due, (B) amounts owing, to the extent more than 90 days
past due, by the Company or any other Loan Party to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or trust over, any of the Collateral included in the Borrowing Base (other than a Permitted Lien which is a permitted purchase money Lien or the
interest of a lessor under a Capital Lease), which Lien or trust, in the Permitted Discretion of Agent likely would have a priority superior to Agent’s Liens (such as Liens or trusts in favor of landlords, warehousemen, carriers, mechanics,
materialmen, laborers, or suppliers, or Liens or trusts for ad valorem, excise, sales, or other taxes where given priority under applicable law) in and to such item of the Collateral included in the Borrowing Base; provided that the
Agent may not implement reserves with respect to matters which would be duplicative with ineligible Accounts or Inventory; provided further that with 

  
 5 








 
respect to any leased or warehouse location of a US Loan Party or a Borrowing Base Foreign Guarantor with respect to which a Collateral Access Agreement has not been obtained, Agent may impose a
reserve under either clauses (ii) or (iii)(B) above, but not both, with respect to such location and any Collateral included in the Borrowing Base thereon, and (C) Priority Payables. 

(d) All Revolver Advances (as defined in the Existing DIP Credit Agreement) outstanding on the ARCA Effective Date shall be deemed to
constitute Multicurrency Revolver Advances made under this Amended Agreement, and shall be held by the Multicurrency Revolver Lenders ratably in accordance with their Multicurrency Revolver Commitments. 

2.2 Term Advances. 
 (a) Initial Term Advances. Each Signing Term Lender having an Initial Term Commitment identified on Schedule C-2 severally (and not jointly) agrees to make, on the Closing Date, subject to
satisfaction (or waiver by the Agent and all such Signing Term Lenders having Initial Term Commitments identified on such Schedule C-2) of the conditions precedent set forth on Schedule 3.1(a), an initial term advance (an
“Initial Term Advance”) in Dollars to the US Borrower in a principal amount equal to such Signing Term Lender’s Initial Term Commitment. Amounts prepaid or repaid in respect of the Initial Term Advances may not be reborrowed.

 (b) Delayed Draw Term Advances. Each Term Lender having a Delayed Draw Commitment identified on Schedule C-2
severally (and not jointly) agrees to make, subject to satisfaction (or waiver by the Agent and all such Lenders having Delayed Draw Commitments identified on such Schedule C-2) of the conditions precedent set forth on Schedule 3.1(c),
upon request by the US Borrower after the entry of the Final Financing Order, a delayed draw term advance (a “Delayed Draw Term Advance”) in Dollars to the US Borrower in a principal amount equal to such Term Lender’s Delayed
Draw Term Commitment (the date of the making of the Delayed Draw Term Advances, the “Final Term Funding Date”). Amounts prepaid or repaid in respect of Delayed Draw Term Advances may not be reborrowed. The Delayed Draw Term Advances
and the Initial Term Advances shall constitute a single class of Term Advances for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The outstanding principal amount of the Term Advances, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon,
shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which they are declared due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
 (c) All Term Advances (as defined in the Existing DIP Credit Agreement) outstanding on the ARCA Effective Date shall remain outstanding under this Amended Agreement. Each Term Lender party to the Existing
DIP Credit Agreement immediately prior to the ARCA Effective Date shall remain party to the Amended Agreement from and after the ARCA Effective Date as a Term Lender, regardless of whether such Term Lender has executed and delivered a signature page
to this Amended Agreement (except to the extent such Term Lender shall cease to hold a Term Advance or a Term Commitment and shall cease to be a party hereto pursuant to Section 13.1(b)).

 2.3 Borrowing and Withdrawal Procedures and Settlements.  

(a) Procedure for Borrowing. Each Borrowing of Revolver Advances shall be made by a written request by an Authorized Person of the
applicable Borrower delivered to Agent. Such notice must be received by Agent (1) in the case of Borrowings of Base Rate Loans by the US Borrower, no later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date,
(2) in the case of Borrowings of Base Rate Loans by the Foreign Borrower, no later than 12:00 noon (New York time) at least 1 Business Day prior to the requested Funding Date, (3) in the case of Borrowings of LIBOR Rate Loans denominated
in Dollars, no later than 12:00 noon (New York time) at least 3 Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date or (4) in the case of Borrowings of LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in Euros, no later than 12:00 noon (London time) at least 3
Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date, specifying (i) the amount of such Borrowing, (ii) the requested Funding Date, which shall be a Business Day, (iii) the applicable Borrower, (iv) [reserved], (v) if such
Borrowing is to be denominated in Dollars, whether such Borrowing shall be a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Base Rate Loan, (vi) if such Borrowing is a LIBOR Rate Loan, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (vii) whether such
Borrowing is to be a Dollar Revolver Borrowing or a Multicurrency Revolver Borrowing and (viii) in the case of any Multicurrency Revolver Borrowing, whether such Borrowing is to be made in Dollars or Euros; provided that, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, unless otherwise agreed from time to time by the Agent in its sole discretion, no Revolver Advances shall be made to the Foreign Borrower prior to the date on which the Final Financing Order shall have been entered
by the Bankruptcy Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Advances to be made on the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall be required to provide such notice no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) at least 1 Business Day prior to the
Closing Date (or such shorter notice period as may be agreed to by the Agent). At Agent’s election, in lieu of delivering the above-described written request with respect to Advances to be made to the US Borrower, any Authorized Person may give
Agent telephonic notice of such request by the required time. In such circumstances, each Borrower agrees that any such telephonic notice will be confirmed in writing within 24 hours of the giving of such telephonic notice, but the failure to
provide such written confirmation shall not affect the validity of the request. The Borrowing of any LIBOR Rate Loan shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.12. 

Each Borrowing of a Term Advance shall be made by delivery to the Agent, with a copy to each of the Required Term Lenders’
Advisors, in each case by e-mail or facsimile, of a written request executed by a Responsible Officer of the US Borrower. Such written request must be received by the Agent and such Required Term Lenders’ Advisors not later than 12:00 noon (New
York time) at least 1 Business Day prior to the requested Funding Date (or such later time agreed to by the Agent), specifying (i) the amount of such Borrowing and (ii) the requested Funding Date, which shall be a Business Day. 

(b) Borrowing Parameters. Revolver Advances denominated in Dollars may be Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans. Multicurrency
Revolver Advances denominated in Euros may only be LIBOR Rate Loans or (at the discretion of the Swingline Lender) Swingline Loans. Each Swingline Loan shall be an Overnight LIBO Loan. 

  
 7 








 (c) Making of Loans. 

(i) Promptly after receipt of a request for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.3(a), Agent shall notify the
applicable Lenders, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time or London time, as applicable) on the date Agent receives notice of such Borrowing, by facsimile, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of the requested Borrowing. Each Lender
shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Agent at its Applicable Funding Office in immediately available funds in the applicable currency, to Agent’s Applicable Account, not later than
(A) with respect to Borrowings denominated in Dollars, 2:00 p.m. (New York time) and (B) with respect to Multicurrency Revolver Borrowings denominated in Euros, 2:00 p.m. (London time), in each case, on the Funding Date applicable thereto.
After Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such Advances, Agent shall make the proceeds thereof available to Borrowers on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such proceeds received by Agent to the
applicable Designated Account; provided, however, that (X) subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(d)(ii), Agent shall not request any Lender to make, and no Lender shall have the obligation to make, any Advance if
(1) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing unless such condition has been waived, or (2) the requested
Borrowing (in the case of a Revolver Advance) would exceed the Excess Availability on such Funding Date and (Y) any amount made available to Agent in respect of Borrowings of Term Advances shall, except to the extent required to be applied in
accordance with Section 6.13 to prepay Revolver Advances (in which case the applicable amounts shall be so applied by the Agent) be credited by Agent to the Term Advance Proceeds Accounts for disbursement thereof in accordance with
Section 2.3(c)(iii) (or, if a Borrowing of Term Advances shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been satisfied (or waived in accordance with the terms hereof), return the amounts so
received to the respective Term Lenders). All Term Advances shall be made by Term Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares of the aggregate Initial Term Commitments and Delayed Draw Term Commitments, as
applicable, it being understood that no Term Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Term Lender in such other Term Lender’s obligation to make a Term Advance requested hereunder nor shall any Term Commitment of any Term Lender
be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Term Lender in such other Term Lender’s obligation to make a Term Loan requested hereunder. 
 (ii) Unless Agent receives notice from an applicable Lender prior to (A) with respect to Borrowings denominated in Dollars, 2:00 p.m. (New York time) and (B) with respect to Multicurrency
Revolver Borrowings denominated in Euros, 10:00 a.m. (London time), in each case, on the date of a Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to Agent for the account of the applicable Borrower the amount
of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, Agent may assume that each applicable Lender has made or will make such amount available to Agent in immediately available funds on the Funding Date and Agent may (but shall not be so required),
in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If any Lender shall not have made its full amount available to Agent in immediately available funds and if Agent in such


  
 8 








 
circumstances has made available to the applicable Borrower such amount, that Lender shall on the Business Day following such Funding Date make such amount available to Agent, together with
interest at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day during such period. A notice submitted by Agent to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this Section 2.3(c)(ii) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is
so made available, such payment to Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Advance on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, Agent
will notify the Borrowers of such failure to fund and, upon demand by Agent, Borrowers shall pay such amount to Agent for Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum
equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances composing such Borrowing. 
 (iii) The US
Borrower may request, from time to time, by delivery to the Agent, with a copy to each of the Required Term Lenders’ Advisors, in each case by e-mail or facsimile, of a Term Advance Proceeds Withdrawal Request executed by a Responsible Officer
of the US Borrower, requesting that the Agent release funds held in the Term Advance Proceeds Account (each date of the Borrowers’ withdrawal from the Term Advance Proceeds Account, a “Term Advance Proceeds Withdrawal Date”),
to be used for purposes substantially in accordance with the Cash Budget (subject to permitted variances) or for Specified Disbursements, and the Agent shall release such funds as promptly as reasonably practicable upon the US Borrower’s
delivery of such Term Advance Proceeds Withdrawal Request to the Agent and Required Term Lenders’ Advisors. Each such Term Advance Proceeds Withdrawal Request shall (i) specify (A) the amount to be withdrawn, (B) account
information for the account to which such funds shall be transferred and (C) the proposed uses of such funds in reasonable detail and (ii) certify that (x) the proposed uses of such funds are substantially in accordance with the Cash
Budget or for Specified Disbursements and (y) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such withdrawal or use of such funds. Each Borrower authorizes and directs the Agent, if any of the Required Term
Lenders’ Advisors’ Expenses are not paid in accordance with Section 17.10 within 10 days following the Company’s receipt of reasonably documented invoices therefor, to use the funds in the Term Advance Proceeds Account to
satisfy such outstanding and unpaid Required Term Lenders’ Advisors’ Expenses. Any amounts remaining in the Term Advance Proceeds Account on the Maturity Date or the date on which the Loans shall have been accelerated, as the case may be,
shall, in each case, be applied in accordance with Section 2.4(b)(ii). For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Loan Parties shall have (and each Loan Party hereby affirmatively waives) any right to withdraw, claim or assert any property
interest in any funds on deposit in the Term Advance Proceeds Account upon the occurrence and continuance of any Default or Event of Default. 
 (d) Protective Advances. 
 (i) Any contrary provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding, but subject to Section 2.3(d)(iv), Agent hereby is authorized by Borrowers and Lenders, from time to time in Agent’s sole discretion, (A) after the occurrence and
during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B) at any 

  
 9 








 
time that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 are not satisfied, to make Revolver Advances to, or for the benefit of, Borrowers on behalf of
Lenders that Agent, in its Permitted Discretion deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or (2) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations (other than the Bank Product
Obligations) (any of the Revolver Advances described in this Section 2.3(d)(i) shall be referred to as “Protective Advances”), so long as after giving effect to such Protective Advances, the outstanding Dollar Revolver
Usage (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) does not exceed the Maximum Dollar Revolver Amount and the outstanding Multicurrency Revolver Usage (except for and excluding amounts
charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) does not exceed the Maximum Multicurrency Revolver Amount. Subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding sentence, each Protective Advance shall be made as both a
Multicurrency Revolver Advance and a Dollar Revolver Advance, on a pro rata basis based on the unused portion of the Maximum Multicurrency Revolver Amount and the unused portion of the Maximum Dollar Revolver Amount. The Required Revolver Lenders
may at any time by written notice to the Agent (x) revoke Agent’s authority to make further Protective Advances pursuant to this Section 2.4(d)(i) at any time when a Protective Advance exists and (y) instruct Agent to
demand repayment of outstanding Protective Advances from the Loan Parties (and the Loan Parties hereby agree to make such repayment on demand). Absent such revocation, Agent’s determination that funding of a Protective Advance is appropriate
shall be conclusive. 
 (ii) [Reserved]. 

(iii) Each Protective Advance shall be deemed to be a Dollar Revolver Advance or a Multicurrency Revolver Advance, as
applicable, hereunder, except that no Protective Advance shall be eligible to be a LIBOR Rate Loan and, prior to Settlement therefor, all payments on the Protective Advances shall be payable to Agent solely for its own account. Protective Advances
shall be denominated in Dollars only. The Protective Advances shall be repayable on demand, secured by Agent’s Liens, constitute Revolver Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Revolver Advances
that are Base Rate Loans. The provisions of this Section 2.3(d) are for the exclusive benefit of Agent and Lenders and are not intended to benefit Borrowers in any way. 

(iv) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary: (A) no
Protective Advance may be made by Agent if such Revolver Advance would cause the aggregate principal amount of Protective Advances outstanding to exceed an amount equal to 5% of the Borrowing Base and (B) after giving effect to all Protective
Advances, the outstanding Revolver Usage (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) shall not exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount. 

(e) Settlement. It is agreed that (x) each Dollar Revolver Lender’s funded portion of the Dollar Revolver Advances is
intended by the Dollar Revolver Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Dollar Revolver Advances and (y)

  
 10 









 
each Multicurrency Revolver Lender’s funded portion of the Multicurrency Revolver Advances is intended by the Multicurrency Revolver Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of the outstanding Multicurrency Revolver Advances. Such agreement notwithstanding, Agent and the other Revolver Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of Borrowers) that in order to facilitate the administration of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among Revolver Lenders as to the Revolver Advances and the Protective Advances shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions: 

(i) Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with Revolver Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more
frequent basis if so determined by Agent (1) for itself, with respect to the outstanding Protective Advances and (2) with respect to the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ Collections or payments received, as to each by notifying the
Revolver Lenders by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such requested Settlement (the date of such
requested Settlement being the “Settlement Date”); provided that for purposes of settling any Protective Advance by the Foreign Borrower, the Agent shall give the applicable Revolver Lenders at least three Business Days prior
notice. Such notice of a Settlement Date shall include a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Revolver Advances and Protective Advances for the period since the prior Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein
(including Section 2.3(g)): (x) if (1) the amount of the Dollar Revolver Advances (including Protective Advances) made by a Dollar Revolver Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender exceeds such Dollar Revolver Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of the Dollar Revolver Advances (including Protective Advances) as of a Settlement Date or (2) the amount of the Multicurrency Revolver Advances (including Protective Advances) made by a Multicurrency Revolver Lender that is not a
Defaulting Lender exceeds such Multicurrency Revolver Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Multicurrency Revolver Advances (including Protective Advances) as of a Settlement Date, then Agent shall, by no later than (A) with respect to amounts
denominated in Dollars, 2:00 p.m. (New York time) and (B) with respect to amounts denominated in Euros, 2:00 p.m. (London time), in each case, on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds to a Deposit Account of such Revolver
Lender (as such Revolver Lender may designate), an amount such that each such Revolver Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Dollar Revolver Advances (including Protective Advances)
and/or Multicurrency Revolver Advances (including Protective Advances), as the case may be, and (y) if (1) the amount of the Dollar Revolver Advances (including Protective Advances) made by a Dollar Revolver Lender is less than such Dollar
Revolver Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Dollar Revolver Advances (including Protective Advances) as of a Settlement Date or (2) the amount of the Multicurrency Revolver Advances (including Protective Advances) made by a Multicurrency
Revolver Lender is less than such Multicurrency Revolver Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Multicurrency Revolver Advances (including Protective Advances) as of a Settlement Date, such Revolver Lender shall no later than (A) with respect to
amounts denominated in Dollars, 2:00 p.m. (New York time) and (B) with respect to amounts denominated in Euros, 2:00 p.m. (London time), in each case, on the Settlement Date transfer in immediately available funds to Agent’s Applicable
Account, an amount such that each such Revolver Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have 

  
 11 









 
as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Dollar Revolver Advances (including Protective Advances) and/or Multicurrency Revolver Advances (including Protective Advances), as the case
may be. Such amounts made available to Agent under clause (y) of the immediately preceding sentence with respect to Protective Advances shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Protective Advances and shall constitute Revolver
Advances of such Revolver Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to Agent by any Revolver Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto to the extent required by the terms hereof, Agent shall be entitled to recover for its account such
amount on demand from such Revolver Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate. 
 (ii)
In determining whether a Revolver Lender’s balance of the Dollar Revolver Advances (including Protective Advances) or Multicurrency Revolver Advances (including Protective Advances) is less than, equal to, or greater than such Revolver
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Dollar Revolver Advances (including Protective Advances) or Multicurrency Revolver Advances (including Protective Advances), as applicable, as of a Settlement Date, Agent shall, as part of the relevant Settlement,
apply to such balance the portion of payments actually received in good funds by Agent with respect to principal, interest, fees payable by Borrowers and allocable to Dollar Revolver Lenders or Multicurrency Revolver Lenders, as applicable,
hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral. 
 (iii) Between Settlement Dates, Agent, to the extent Protective
Advances are outstanding, may pay over to Agent any Collections or payments received by Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Dollar Revolver Advances or Multicurrency Revolver Advances,
as applicable, for application to the Protective Advances that are Dollar Revolver Advances or Multicurrency Revolver Advances. During the period between Settlement Dates, Agent with respect to Protective Advances, and each Revolver Lender (subject
to the effect of agreements between Agent and individual Revolver Lenders) with respect to the Revolver Advances other than Protective Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the daily
amount of funds employed by Agent, or Revolver Lenders, as applicable. 
 (iv) Anything in this
Section 2.3(e) to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Revolver Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from remitting settlement amounts to the Defaulting Lender and, instead, shall be entitled to
elect to implement the provisions set forth in Section 2.3(g). 
 (f) Notation. Agent, as a non-fiduciary
agent for Borrowers, shall maintain a register showing the principal amount of the Advances, owing to each Lender, including the Swingline Loans owing to Swingline Lender, Protective Advances owing to Agent, and the interests therein of each Lender,
from time to time and such register shall, absent manifest error, conclusively be presumed to be correct and accurate. 

  
 12 









 (g) Defaulting Lenders. Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting
Lender that is a Revolver Lender any payments made by any Borrower to Agent for such Defaulting Lender’s benefit or any Collections or proceeds of Collateral that would otherwise be remitted hereunder to such Defaulting Lender, and, in the
absence of such transfer to such Defaulting Lender, Agent shall transfer any such payments (A) first, if such Defaulting Lender is a Multicurrency Revolver Lender, to Swingline Lender to the extent of any Swingline Loans that were made by Swing
Lender and that were required to be, but were not, repaid by the Defaulting Lender, (B) second, to the Issuing Lender, to the extent of the portion of a Letter of Credit Disbursement that was required to be, but was not, repaid by the
Defaulting Lender, (C) third, (x) if such Defaulting Lender is a Dollar Revolver Lender, to each Dollar Revolver Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender ratably in accordance with its Dollar Revolver Commitment or (y) if such
Defaulting Lender is a Multicurrency Revolver Lender, to each Multicurrency Revolver Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender in accordance with its Multicurrency Revolver Commitment (but, in each case, only to the extent that such Defaulting
Lender’s portion of an Advance (or other funding obligation) was funded by such other non-Defaulting Lenders), (D) to a suspense account maintained by Agent, the proceeds of which shall be retained by Agent and may be made available to be
re-advanced to or for the benefit of Borrowers as if such Defaulting Lender had made its portion of Advances (or other funding obligations) hereunder, and (E) from and after the date on which the Revolver Commitments with respect to which such
Defaulting Lender has a Commitment are cancelled or terminated and all other Revolver Obligations with respect to such Revolver Commitments have been paid in full, to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with tier (K) of
Section 2.4(b)(ii). Subject to the foregoing, Agent may hold and, in its Permitted Discretion, re-lend to Borrowers for the account of such Defaulting Lender the amount of all such payments received and retained by Agent for the account
of such Defaulting Lender. Solely for the purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents (including the calculation of the Required Lenders, Super-Majority Revolver Lenders or Required Term Lenders, as applicable, in
connection therewith) and for the purpose of calculating the fee payable under Section 2.10(b), any Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Revolver Lender” or “Term Lender”, as applicable, and such
Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed to be zero; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any of the matters governed by Section 14.1(a)(i) through (iii). The provisions of this
Section 2.3(g) shall remain effective with respect to such Defaulting Lender until the earlier of (x) the date on which the non-Defaulting Lenders, Agent, and Borrowers shall have waived, in writing, the application of this
Section 2.3(g) to such Defaulting Lender, or (y) the date on which such Defaulting Lender makes payment of all amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, pays to Agent all amounts owing by Defaulting Lender in respect of the
amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, and, if requested by Agent or any Borrower, provides adequate assurance to Agent of its ability to perform its future obligations hereunder. The operation of this Section 2.3(g) shall not
be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, to relieve or excuse the performance by such Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by
Borrowers of their duties and obligations hereunder to Agent or to Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender. Any failure by a Defaulting Lender to fund amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder shall constitute a material breach by such
Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall entitle Borrowers, at their option, upon written notice to Agent, to arrange for a substitute Lender to assume the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, such substitute Lender to be reasonably acceptable
to Agent. In connection with the arrangement of such a substitute Lender, the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder, 

  
 13 









 and agrees to execute and deliver a completed form of Assignment and Acceptance in favor of the substitute
Lender (and agrees that it shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject only to being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations, but including (1) all
interest, fees, and other amounts that may be due and payable in respect thereof, and (2) an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of the Dollar Revolver Letters of Credit or Multicurrency Revolver Letters of Credit, as applicable); provided,
however, that any such assumption of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of the Lender Groups’ or any Borrower’s rights or remedies against any such Defaulting Lender arising
out of or in relation to such failure to fund. In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 2.3(g) and any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the intention
of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and
provisions of this Section 2.3(g) shall control and govern. 
 (h) Independent Obligations. All Dollar
Revolver Advances (other than Protective Advances) shall be made by Dollar Revolver Lenders contemporaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. All Multicurrency Revolver Advances (other than Swingline Loans and Protective Advances)
shall be made by Multicurrency Revolver Lenders contemporaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. All Term Advances shall be made by Term Lenders contemporaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that
(i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Advance (or other extension of credit) hereunder, nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any
failure by any other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligations hereunder. 

2.4 Payments; Reductions of Commitments; Prepayments. 

(a) Payments by Borrowers. 
 (i) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by any Borrower shall be made to Agent’s Applicable Account for the account of the Lender Group and shall be made in immediately
available funds in the applicable currency, no later than (A) with respect to amounts denominated in Dollars, 2:00 p.m. (New York time) and (B) with respect to amounts denominated in Euros, 3:00 p.m. (London time), in each case, on the
date specified herein. Any payment received by Agent later than (A) with respect to amounts denominated in Dollars, 2:00 p.m. (New York time) and (B) with respect to amounts denominated in Euros, 3:00 p.m. (London time), in each case,
shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such following Business Day. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent may require that any payments
due under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in Euros, such Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the
Euro payment amount. 

  
 14 









 (ii) Unless Agent receives notice from Borrowers prior to the date on which
any payment is due to Lenders that Borrowers will not make such payment in full as and when required, Agent may assume that Borrowers have made (or will make) such payment in full to Agent on such date in immediately available funds and Agent may
(but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent Borrowers do not make such payment in full to Agent on the date
when due, each Lender severally shall repay to Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date
repaid. 
 (iii) All repayments, prepayments or reimbursements with respect to any Obligations shall be made to
Agent’s Applicable Account. 
 (b) Apportionment and Application. 

(i) So long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing and except as otherwise provided herein with respect
to Defaulting Lenders, all principal and interest payments received by Agent shall be apportioned ratably among Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations to which such payments relate held by each Lender) and all payments
of fees and expenses received by Agent (other than fees or expenses that are for Agent’s separate account or for the separate account of the Issuing Lender) shall be apportioned ratably among Lenders having a Pro Rata Share of the type of
Revolver Commitment or Obligation to which a particular fee or expense relates. All payments to be made hereunder by Borrowers shall be remitted to Agent and all (subject to Section 2.4(b)(iii), Section 2.4(d)(ii), and
Section 2.4(e)) such payments, and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent, shall be applied, so long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing, to reduce the balance of the Advances outstanding and, thereafter, to
Borrowers (to be wired to the applicable Designated Account) or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law. 
 (ii) At any time that an Application Event has occurred and is continuing, subject to the delivery of any notices required pursuant to Section 9.1 and except as otherwise provided herein with
respect to Defaulting Lenders, all payments remitted to Agent by the Loan Parties and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent shall be applied as follows: 
 (A) first, to pay any Lender Group Expenses (including cost or expense reimbursements) or indemnities then due to Agent from the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, until paid in full,

 (B) second, to pay any fees or premiums then due to Agent from the Loan Parties under the Loan
Documents until paid in full, 
 (C) third, to pay interest due in respect of all Protective Advances
related to the Collateral or the Loan Parties until paid in full, 

  
 15 









 (D) fourth, ratably, to pay any Lender Group Expenses (including cost
or expense reimbursements) or indemnities then due to any of the Revolver Lenders from the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, until paid in full, 
 (E) fifth, ratably, to pay any fees or premiums then due to any of the Revolver Lenders from the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents until paid in full, 

(F) sixth, to pay interest accrued in respect of the Swingline Loans until paid in full, 

(G) seventh, to pay the principal of all Swingline Loans until paid in full; 

(H) eighth, ratably, to pay interest accrued in respect of the Multicurrency Revolver Advances and the Dollar
Revolver Advances (other than Protective Advances) (ratably as between such amounts owing in respect of the Multicurrency Revolver Advances and the Dollar Revolver Advances), 

(I) ninth, ratably (1) to pay the principal of all Multicurrency Revolver Advances and Dollar Revolver
Advances until paid in full (ratably as between such amounts owing in respect of the Multicurrency Revolver Advances and the Dollar Revolver Advances), (2) to Agent, to Cash Collateralize any Letters of Credit (to the extent permitted by
applicable law, such cash collateral shall be applied to the reimbursement of any such Letter of Credit Disbursement as and when such disbursement occurs and, if a Letter of Credit expires undrawn, the cash collateral held by Agent in respect of
such Letter of Credit shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be reapplied pursuant to this Section 2.4(b)(ii), beginning with tier (A) hereof), and (3) ratably, to the Bank Product Providers based upon amounts
certified to Agent to be due and payable to such Bank Product Provider on account of Noticed Bank Product Obligations in an amount up to the Bank Product Reserve Amount with respect thereto, 

(J) tenth, to pay any other Revolver Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations that are not Noticed Bank
Product Obligations) owing to any Revolver Lender other than any such Revolver Obligations owed to Defaulting Lenders, 
 (K) eleventh, ratably to pay any Revolver Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations that are not Noticed Bank Product Obligations) owed to Defaulting Lenders, 

(L) twelfth, ratably, to pay (i) any Required Term Lenders’ Advisors’ Expenses and (ii) any
Lender Group Expenses (including cost or expense reimbursements) or indemnities then due to any of the Term Lenders from the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, until paid in full, 

  
 16 









 (M) thirteenth, ratably, to pay any fees or premiums then due to any
of the Term Lenders from the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents until paid in full, 
 (N) fourteenth,
ratably, to pay interest accrued in respect of the Term Advances, 
 (O) fifteenth, ratably, to pay the
principal of all Term Advances until paid in full, 
 (P) sixteenth, ratably to pay any other Term
Obligations; 
 (Q) seventeenth, ratably, to the Bank Product Providers on account of any Bank Product
Obligations that are not Noticed Bank Product Obligations, and 
 (R) eighteenth, to Borrowers (to be
wired to the applicable Designated Account) or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law; 
 (iii)
Agent promptly shall distribute to each Lender, pursuant to the applicable wire instructions received from each Lender in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive, subject (in the case of Revolver Lenders) to a Settlement delay as
provided in Section 2.3(e). 
 (iv) In each instance, so long as no Application Event has occurred
and is continuing, Section 2.4(b)(i) shall not apply to any payment made by any Borrower to Agent and specified by such Borrower to be for the payment of specific Obligations then due and payable (or prepayable) under any provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 (v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of
the Loan Documents, (i) payments and collections received in any currency other than the currency in which any outstanding Obligations are denominated will be accepted and/or applied at the discretion of Agent, in the event that Agent elects to
accept and apply such amounts when there are no Obligations (other than Letters of Credit or other contingent Obligations) then outstanding in the same currency, Agent may, at its option (but is not obligated to), convert such currency received to
the currency in which the Obligations are denominated at the Spot Rate on such date (regardless of whether such rate is the best available rate) and in such event, Borrowers shall pay the costs of such conversion (or Agent may, at its option, charge
such costs to the loan account of any Borrower maintained by Agent) and (ii) to the extent any Borrower or Guarantor, directly or indirectly, uses any proceeds of the applicable Advances or Letters of Credit to acquire rights in or the use of
any Collateral or to repay any Indebtedness used to acquire rights in or the use of any Collateral, payments in respect of the Obligations shall be deemed applied first to the Obligations arising from Advances and Letters of Credit that were not
used for such purposes and second to the Obligations arising from Advances and Letters of Credit the proceeds of which were used to acquire rights in or the use of any Collateral in the chronological order in which such Borrower acquired such rights
in or the use of such Collateral. 

  
 17 









 (vi) For purposes of this Section 2.4(b), “paid in
full” of a type of Obligation means payment in cash or immediately available funds of all amounts owing on account of such type of Obligation, including interest accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding, default interest,
interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, irrespective of whether any of the foregoing would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency Proceeding. 

(vii) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 2.4 and any other
provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any
actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, if the conflict relates to the provisions of Section 2.3(g) and this Section 2.4, then the provisions of Section 2.3(g) shall control and
govern, and if otherwise, then the terms and provisions of this Section 2.4 shall control and govern. 
 (c)
Reduction of Commitments. The Multicurrency Revolver Commitments and the Dollar Revolver Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. 
 (i) Borrowers may reduce the Multicurrency Revolver Commitments to an amount not less than the greater of (i) $100,000,000 and (ii) the sum of (A) the Multicurrency Revolver Usage as of
such date, plus (B) the principal amount of all Multicurrency Revolver Advances not yet made as to which a request has been given by Borrowers under Section 2.3(a), plus (C) the amount of all Multicurrency Letters
of Credit not yet issued as to which a request has been given by Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.11(b); provided that the Borrowers may reduce the Multicurrency Revolver Commitments to $0 in connection with the payment in full of
all Obligations and the termination of the Multicurrency Revolver Commitments in accordance with the terms hereof. Each reduction pursuant to this clause (i) shall be in an amount which is not less than $1,000,000, shall be made by providing
not less than 3 Business Days prior written notice to Agent and shall be irrevocable. Once reduced, the Multicurrency Revolver Commitments may not be increased. Each such reduction of the Multicurrency Revolver Commitments shall reduce the
Multicurrency Revolver Commitments of each Multicurrency Revolver Lender proportionately in accordance with its Pro Rata Share of the Multicurrency Revolver Commitments. 

(ii) Borrowers may reduce the Dollar Revolver Commitments to an amount not less than the sum of (A) the Dollar
Revolver Usage as of such date, plus (B) the principal amount of all Dollar Revolver Advances not yet made as to which a request has been given by Borrowers under Section 2.3(a), plus (C) the amount of all Dollar
Letters of Credit not yet issued as to which a request has been given by Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.11(b). Each reduction pursuant to this clause (ii) shall be in an amount which is not less than $1,000,000, shall be made by
providing not less than 3 Business Days prior written notice to Agent and shall be irrevocable. Once reduced, the 

  
 18 









 
Dollar Revolver Commitments may not be increased. Each such reduction of the Dollar Revolver Commitments shall reduce the Dollar Revolver Commitments of each Dollar Revolver Lender
proportionately in accordance with its Pro Rata Share of the Dollar Revolver Commitments. 
 (iii) The Initial
Term Commitments shall terminate on the Closing Date immediately following the funding of the Initial Term Advances to be made on the Closing Date. 
 (iv) The Delayed Draw Term Commitments shall terminate on the Final Term Funding Date immediately following the funding of the Delayed Draw Term Advances to be made on the Final Term Funding Date.

 (d) Optional Prepayments. 
 (i) Borrowers may prepay the principal of any Multicurrency Revolver Advance or any Dollar Revolver Advance at any time in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. 

(ii) Borrowers may not voluntarily prepay the Term Advances (other than in connection with a Repricing Transaction so long
as the aggregate principal amount of the term loans under such Repricing Transactions is the same as the aggregate principal amount of the repaid Term Advances) until all Revolver Advances have been paid in full in cash, all Letters of Credit have
been Cash Collateralized, all Noticed Bank Product Obligations have been Cash Collateralized and the Revolver Commitments have been terminated. Any prepayment of Term Advances pursuant to this Section 2.4(d)(ii) and any prepayment of Term Advances
pursuant to a Repricing Transaction described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by the payment of the Term Prepayment Premium, if any is then due. 
 (e) Mandatory Prepayments. 
 (i) Borrowing Base. If,
at any time: 
 (A) the Revolver Usage on such date exceeds the Borrowing Base (such excess being referred
to as the “Borrowing Base Excess”); or 
 (B) the Dollar Revolver Usage on such date
exceeds the Maximum Dollar Revolver Amount (such excess being referred to as the “Dollar Revolver Commitment Excess”) 
 (C) the Multicurrency Revolver Usage on such date exceeds the Maximum Multicurrency Revolver Amount (such excess being referred to as the “Multicurrency Revolver Commitment
Excess”); 
 then the Borrowers shall, subject to Section 2.5, promptly, but in any event, within 1 Business Day prepay in
cash the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(f)(i) in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate each such excess. 

  
 19 









 (ii) Dispositions. 

(A) [Reserved]. 
 (B) Within 3 Business Days of the date of receipt by any Loan Party of the Net Cash Proceeds of any voluntary or involuntary sale or disposition by any Loan Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of
any assets (including Casualty Events but excluding sales or dispositions which qualify as Permitted Dispositions except for clauses (q), (s) and (u) of the definition of Permitted Dispositions), the Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding
principal amount of the Obligations, in accordance with Section 2.4(f)(ii), in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds (including condemnation awards and payments in lieu thereof) received by such Person in connection with such
sales or dispositions; provided that so long as (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, (B) the Company shall have given Agent prompt written notice of its intention to apply such
monies to the costs of replacement of the properties or assets that are the subject of such sale or disposition or the cost of purchase or construction of other assets useful in the business of the Company or the Restricted Subsidiaries and
(C) such application of monies shall be in substantial compliance with the Cash Budget and the applicable Financing Order, then within 180 days after the initial receipt of such monies, then the Borrowers shall have the option to apply such
monies to the costs of replacement of the assets that are the subject of such sale or disposition or the costs of purchase or construction of other assets useful in the business of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, unless and to the extent
that such applicable period shall have expired without such replacement, purchase, or construction being made or completed, in which case, any amounts not previously applied pursuant to the foregoing shall be prepaid to Agent and applied in
accordance with Section 2.4(f)(ii), subject to the applicable Financing Order; provided further that the aggregate amount of monies permitted to be retained by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the first proviso to
this Section 2.4(e)(ii)(B) shall not exceed $25,000,000 in the aggregate. Nothing contained in this Section 2.4(e)(ii)(B), shall permit the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to sell or otherwise dispose of any
assets other than in accordance with Section 6.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this paragraph (B), (1) if the amount required to be applied as a mandatory repayment on any date is less than $1,000,000, and so long as no Default
or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrowers may defer any mandatory repayments required pursuant to this clause (B) until the first date on which the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds from all sales or dispositions
required to be applied pursuant to this clause (B) since the last payment made pursuant to this sentence equals or exceeds $1,000,000 (at which time all theretofore unapplied amounts shall be required to be applied) and (2) if the
aggregate Net Cash Proceeds received by any Loan Party in respect of any transaction (or series of related transactions) permitted under clause (q) of the definition of Permitted Disposition does not exceed $250,000, such Net Cash Proceeds
received in respect of such transaction (or series of related transactions) shall be deemed to be $0 for purposes of this clause (B). 

  
 20 









 (iii) Issuance of Indebtedness. Within one (1) Business
Day of the date of receipt by any Loan Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of the Net Cash Proceeds of any issuance of Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) by such Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrowers shall
prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(f)(ii) in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds. 

(iv) [reserved] 
 (v) Extraordinary Receipts. Within ten (10) Business Days of the date of receipt by any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Extraordinary Receipts, the Borrowers shall prepay
the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(f)(ii) in an amount equal to 100% of such Extraordinary Receipts; provided that the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to make any such
payment that would violate the terms of the applicable Financing Order. 
 (vi) Notices of
Prepayments. The Company shall provide a notice of any prepayment required under Section 2.4(e)(ii), 2.4(e)(iii) or 2.4(e)(v) in accordance with Schedule 5.1. 

(f) Application of Payments. 
 (i) Each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.4(e)(i) shall, (A) so long as no Application Event shall have occurred and be continuing, be applied, first, ratably to the outstanding
principal amount of the Multicurrency Revolver Advances and/or the Dollar Revolver Advances, as applicable (without a corresponding permanent reduction in the applicable Revolver Commitments) until paid in full, and second, ratably to Cash
Collateralize any Multicurrency Letters of Credit and/or Dollar Letters of Credit, as applicable, and (B) if an Application Event shall have occurred and be continuing, be applied in the manner set forth in Section 2.4(b)(ii).

 (ii) Each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.4(e)(ii), 2.4(e)(iii) or 2.4(e)(v) shall,
(A) so long as no Application Event shall have occurred and be continuing, be applied, first, ratably to the outstanding principal amount of the Revolver Advances (without a corresponding permanent reduction in the Maximum Multicurrency
Revolver Amount or the Maximum Dollar Revolver Amount) until paid in full and second, to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Advances until paid in full, and (B) if an Application Event shall have occurred and be continuing, be
applied in the manner set forth in Section 2.4(b)(ii). 
 (g) Currency Fluctuation. If any condition set
forth in Section 2.4(e)(i) exists solely as a result of currency fluctuations of Multicurrency Revolver Advances and Multicurrency Revolver Letters of Credit denominated in Euros, then the repayments or cash collateralizations required
pursuant to Section 2.4(f) shall only be required if the relevant excess amount exceeds 105% of the relevant permitted maximum amount of the Borrowing Base Excess or the Multicurrency Revolver Commitment Excess, as applicable, as then in
effect as provided in Section 2.4(e)(i) for more than three consecutive Business Days, at which time the excess of 100% shall be required to be eliminated. 

  
 21 









 2.5 Repayment. Borrowers promise to pay the Obligations (including principal,
interest, fees, costs, and expenses) in full on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which the Obligations (other than the Bank Product Obligations) become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 

2.6 Interest Rates and Letter of Credit Fee: Rates, Payments, and Calculations. 

(a) Interest Rates. (I) Except as provided in Section 2.6(c), all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of
Credit and Term Obligations) that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof (from the date of incurrence through but excluding the date of repayment or prepayment (whether by
acceleration or otherwise)) as follows: 
 (i) if the relevant Obligation is a LIBOR Rate Loan denominated in
Dollars, at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans, 

(ii) if the relevant Obligation is a LIBOR Rate Loan denominated in Euros, at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate
plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans, 
 (iii) if the relevant Obligation is a Swingline Loan,
a per annum rate equal to the overnight LIBO Rate plus its Applicable Margin for Overnight LIBO Loans, and 
 (iv) otherwise in respect of Revolver Obligations, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans. 

(II) Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Term Advance shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made
through but excluding the date of repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof at a per annum rate equal to 9.0%. 

(III) Interest on each Term Advance shall accrue on a daily basis as provided in Section 2.6(e) and shall be payable in
arrears, in cash, on (i) the last Business Day of each calendar month, (ii) upon any prepayment of that Term Advance, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid, and (iii) at maturity of the Term
Advances, including final maturity thereof. 
 (b) Letter of Credit Fee. Borrowers shall pay, in each case in Dollars,
(i) Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Multicurrency Revolver Lenders, subject to any agreements between Agent and individual Multicurrency Revolver Lenders), a Letter of Credit fee (in addition to the charges, commissions, fees, and costs
set forth in Section 2.11(f)) which shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans times the 

  
 22 









 
Daily Balance of the undrawn amount of all outstanding Multicurrency Revolver Letters of Credit and (ii) Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Dollar Revolver Lenders, subject to any
agreements between Agent and individual Dollar Revolver Lenders), a Letter of Credit fee (in addition to the charges, commissions, fees, and costs set forth in Section 2.11(f)) which shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable
Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans times the Daily Balance of the undrawn amount of all outstanding Dollar Revolver Letters of Credit. 

(c) Default Rate. (i) Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default all Obligations
(except for undrawn Letters of Credit) that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to 2 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise
applicable thereunder, and (B) the Letter of Credit fee provided for in Section 2.6(b) shall be increased to 2 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder. 

(d) Payment. Except to the extent provided to the contrary in this Section 2.6, Section 2.10 or
Section 2.12(a), all interest, all Letter of Credit fees, and all other fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first day of each quarter at any time that Obligations,
Multicurrency Revolver Commitments or Dollar Revolver Commitments are outstanding; provided that all interest on account of any Swingline Loan or Base Rate Loan shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first day of each month. All costs,
expenses, and Lender Group Expenses payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be due and payable on demand of Agent. The Borrowers hereby authorize Agent, from time to time without prior notice to the Borrowers, to charge all
interest, Letter of Credit fees, and all other fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (in each case, as and when due and payable), all costs, expenses, and Lender Group Expenses payable by the Borrowers hereunder or under
any of the other Loan Documents (in each case, as and when incurred), all charges, commissions, fees, and costs provided for in Section 2.11(f) (as and when accrued or incurred), all fees and costs provided for in
Section 2.10 (as and when accrued or incurred), and all other payments as and when due and payable by the Borrowers under any Loan Document or any Bank Product Agreement (including any amounts due and payable to the Bank Product
Providers in respect of Bank Products) to the Loan Account, which amounts thereafter shall constitute Multicurrency Revolver Advances or Dollar Revolver Advances, as applicable, hereunder, and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to
Advances that are Base Rate Loans (unless and until converted into LIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement). 
 (e) Computation. Except as otherwise set forth herein, all interest and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year, in each case, for the actual
number of days elapsed in the period during which the interest or fees accrue; provided that interest on Term Advances and Base Rate Loans bearing interest based on the “prime rate” shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 day
year (or a 366 day year, in the case of a leap year). In the event the Base Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the rates of interest hereunder based upon the Base Rate automatically and immediately shall be increased or decreased by
an amount equal to such change in the Base Rate. 

  
 23 









 (f) Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest
rate or rates payable under this Agreement, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law (including, without limitation, Section 347 of the Criminal Code of Canada) that a court of
competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. Each Borrower and the Lender Group, in executing and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within
it; provided, however, that, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if said rate or rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto, as of the
Closing Date, Borrowers are and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum as allowed by law, and payment received from Borrowers in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the
Obligations to the extent of such excess. 
 2.7 Crediting Payments. The receipt of any payment item by Agent
shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment item is a wire transfer of immediately available funds made to Agent’s Applicable Account or unless and until such payment item is honored when presented for payment. Should any
payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrowers shall be deemed not to have made such payment and interest shall be calculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any payment item shall be
deemed received by Agent only if it is received into Agent’s Applicable Account on a Business Day in the applicable currency on or before (A) with respect to amounts denominated in Dollars, 2:00 p.m. (New York time) and (B) with
respect to amounts denominated in Euros, 3:00 p.m. (London time). If any payment item is received into Agent’s Applicable Account on a non-Business Day or after (A) with respect to amounts denominated in Dollars, 2:00 p.m. (New York time)
and (B) with respect to amounts denominated in Euros, 3:00 p.m. (London time), in each case, on a Business Day, it shall be deemed to have been received by Agent as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day.

 2.8 Designated Account. Agent is authorized to make the Revolver Advances, and Issuing Lender is authorized to
issue the Letters of Credit, under this Agreement based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an Authorized Person or, without instructions, if pursuant to Section 2.6(d). Each Borrower agrees to
establish and maintain the applicable Designated Account with the applicable Designated Account Bank for the purpose of receiving the proceeds of the Advances requested by such Borrower and made by Agent or Lenders hereunder. Unless otherwise
provided for hereunder or agreed by Agent and Borrowers, any Advance or Swingline Loan requested by a Borrower and made by Agent or Lenders hereunder shall be made to the applicable Designated Account. 

2.9 Maintenance of Loan Accounts; Statements of Obligations. Agent shall maintain accounts on its books in the name of each
Borrower (the “Loan Accounts”) on which such Borrower will be charged with all Advances (including Protective Advances and Swingline Loans) made by Agent, Swingline Lender or Lenders to such Borrower or for such Borrower’s
account, the Letters of Credit issued or arranged by Issuing Lender for such Borrower’s account, and with all other payment Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including, accrued interest, fees and expenses, and Lender
Group Expenses. In accordance with Section 2.7, the applicable Loan Account will be credited with all payments received by Agent from the applicable Borrower or for any of such Borrower’s account. Agent shall render


  
 24 









 
monthly statements regarding the Loan Account to the Company, including principal, interest, fees, and including an itemization of all charges and expenses constituting Lender Group Expenses
owing, and such statements, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between Borrowers and the Lender Group unless, within 30 days after receipt thereof by the Company,
the Company shall deliver to Agent written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in any such statements. 

2.10 Fees. The Borrowers shall pay the following fees: 

(a) To Agent, for the account of Agent, as and when due and payable under the terms of the Fee Letter, the fees set forth in the Fee
Letter. 
 (b) To Agent (i) for the ratable account of the Dollar Revolver Lenders, on the first day of each month from and
after the Closing Date up to the first day of the month prior to the Payoff Date and on the Payoff Date, an unused line fee in an amount equal to a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin for “Unused Fees” times the result of
(x) the aggregate amount of the Dollar Revolver Commitments, less (y) the average Daily Balance of the Dollar Revolver Usage during the immediately preceding month (or portion thereof) and (ii) for the ratable account of the
Multicurrency Revolver Lenders, on the first day of each month from and after the Closing Date up to the first day of the month prior to the Payoff Date and on the Payoff Date, an unused line fee in an amount equal to a per annum rate equal to the
Applicable Margin for “Unused Fees” times the result of (x) the aggregate amount of the Multicurrency Revolver Commitments, less (y) the average Daily Balance of the Multicurrency Revolver Usage (excluding all Swingline
Loans) during the immediately preceding month (or portion thereof). 
 (c) To Agent, for the account of each Term Lender having
a Delayed Draw Term Commitment, an unused commitment fee, from and including the Closing Date to the Final Term Funding Date (or the date on which such Term Lender’s Delayed Draw Term Commitment shall be terminated pursuant to the terms
hereof), in an amount equal to 0.50% per annum on the amount equal to such Term Lender’s Delayed Draw Term Commitment. Such fee shall be payable in arrears in cash on the Final Term Funding Date (or such earlier termination date).

 (d) To each Signing Term Lender, a non-refundable fee for committing capital in an amount equal to 3.50% of the Term
Commitment that such Signing Term Lender has on the Closing Date (prior to the making of the Initial Term Advances). Such fee shall be due and payable to such Signing Term Lender in kind, on the Closing Date, by the increase, by such amount, of the
principal amount of the Initial Term Advance made by such Signing Term Lender on the Closing Date. 
 (e) To each Term Lender, a
non-refundable funding fee in an amount equal to 0.75% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Advances that such Term Lender provides on the Closing Date and/or the Final Term Funding Date, as the case may be. Such fee shall be due and
payable to such Term Lender in cash in immediately available funds on the Closing Date and/or the Final Term Funding Date, immediately following the funding by such Term Lender of Initial Term Advances and/or Delayed Draw Term Advances, respectively
(or, if applicable and agreed to by such Term Lender, shall be netted out of the proceeds of the Term Advances made by such Term Lender on the Closing Date and/or the Final Term Funding Date). 

  
 25 









 2.11 Letters of Credit. 

(a) All Letters of Credit (as defined in the Existing DIP Credit Agreement) outstanding on the ARCA Effective Date shall be deemed to
constitute Multicurrency Revolver Letters of Credit outstanding under this Amended Agreement, and each Multicurrency Revolver Lender shall hold a participation therein in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. 

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the request of either Borrower made in accordance herewith, the Issuing
Lender agrees to issue, or to cause an Underlying Issuer (including, as Issuing Lender’s agent) to issue, a requested Dollar Revolver Letter of Credit (in Dollars) or Multicurrency Revolver Letter of Credit (in Dollars or Euros) from time to
time on or after the Closing Date (provided, that Letters of Credit may be issued prior to the Revolver Availability Date only to the extent required to backstop any Letters of Credit (as defined in the Prepetition Credit Agreement)
outstanding on the Petition Date). If Issuing Lender, at its option, elects to cause an Underlying Issuer to issue a requested Letter of Credit, then Issuing Lender agrees that it will enter into arrangements relative to the reimbursement of such
Underlying Issuer (which may include, among, other means, by becoming an applicant with respect to such Letter of Credit or entering into undertakings which provide for reimbursements of such Underlying Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit;
each such obligation or undertaking, irrespective of whether in writing, a “Reimbursement Undertaking”) with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Underlying Issuer. By submitting a request to Issuing Lender for the issuance
of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested that Issuing Lender issue or that an Underlying Issuer issue the requested Letter of Credit and to have requested Issuing Lender to issue a Reimbursement Undertaking
with respect to such requested Letter of Credit if it is to be issued by an Underlying Issuer (it being expressly acknowledged and agreed by each Borrower that the Borrowers are and shall be deemed to be applicants (within the meaning of
Section 5-102(a)(2) of the Code) with respect to each Underlying Letter of Credit). Each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or the amendment, renewal, or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit, shall be made in writing by an
Authorized Person and delivered to the Issuing Lender via hand delivery, facsimile, or other electronic method of transmission reasonably (but at least 3 Business Days) in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension.
Each such request shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender and shall specify (i) the amount of such Letter of Credit, (ii) the date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension of such Letter of Credit,
(iii) the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit, (v) whether such Letter of Credit is a US Letter of Credit or a Foreign Letter of Credit, (vi) whether such
Letter of Credit is to be a Dollar Revolver Letter of Credit or a Multicurrency Revolver Letter of Credit, (vii) if such Letter of Credit is to be a Multicurrency Revolver Letter of Credit, whether such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in
Dollars or Euros and (viii) such other information (including, in the case of an amendment, renewal, or extension, identification of the Letter of Credit to be so amended, renewed, or extended) as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, or
extend such Letter of Credit. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Issuing Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, issue or cause the issuance of a Letter of Credit or to issue a Reimbursement Undertaking in respect of
an Underlying Letter of Credit, in either case, that supports the obligations of Borrowers or their Subsidiaries (1) in respect of (A) a lease of real property located in the United States, or (B) an employment contract, or
(2) at any time that one 

  
 26 









 
or more of Lenders is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Borrowers shall have Cash Collateralized each applicable Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Multicurrency Revolver Letter of
Credit Exposure or the Dollar Revolver Letter of Credit Exposure, as applicable. The Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit or a Reimbursement Undertaking in respect of an Underlying Letter of Credit, in either case, if
any of the following would result after giving effect to the requested issuance: 
 (i) the Dollar Revolver
Letter of Credit Usage would exceed (A) the Maximum Dollar Revolver Amount less (B) the outstanding amount of Dollar Revolver Advances; 
 (ii) the Multicurrency Revolver Letter of Credit Usage would exceed (A) the Maximum Multicurrency Revolver Amount less (B) the outstanding amount of Multicurrency Revolver Advances (including
Swingline Loans); 
 (iii) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed (A) the lesser of (x) the Borrowing
Base and (y) the Maximum Revolver Amount less (B) the outstanding amount of Revolver Advances (including Swingline Loans); 
 (iv) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $75,000,000; or 
 (v)
the expiration date of such Letter of Credit would occur later than seven days prior to the Maturity Date (as determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition thereof). 

Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(d), Issuing Lender shall not issue, renew or extend and shall not be obligated to
issue, renew or extend any Letter of Credit if Issuing Lender has actual knowledge that (i) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the date of the requested issuance,
renewal, or extension of such Letter of Credit, or (ii) the requested issuance, renewal, or extension of such Letter of Credit (x) would exceed the Excess Availability or (y) would result in a Multicurrency Revolver Commitment Excess
or a Dollar Revolver Commitment Excess, in each case on such date of the requested issuance, renewal, or extension of such Letter of Credit. 
 For purposes of this Section 2.11(b), the Borrowing Base will be based upon the Borrowing Base Certificate most recently delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Lender, including the requirement that the
amounts payable thereunder must be payable in (A) Dollars, in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or (B) Euros, in the case of Multicurrency Revolver Letters of Credit denominated in Euros. If (1) Issuing Lender makes
a payment under a US Letter of Credit or an Underlying Issuer makes a payment under an Underlying Letter of Credit with respect to a US Letter of Credit, the US Borrower shall pay to Agent an amount equal to the applicable Letter of Credit
Disbursement on the date such Letter of Credit Disbursement is made and, in the absence of such payment, the amount of the Letter of Credit Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be a Dollar Revolver Advance, in the case of a
payment under a Dollar Revolver Letter of Credit, or a Multicurrency 

  
 27 









 
Revolver Advance, in the case of a payment under a Multicurrency Revolver Letter of Credit hereunder or (2) Issuing Lender makes a payment under a Foreign Letter of Credit or an Underlying
Issuer makes a payment under an Underlying Letter of Credit with respect to a Foreign Letter of Credit, the Foreign Borrower shall pay to Agent an amount equal to the applicable Letter of Credit Disbursement on the date such Letter of Credit
Disbursement is made and, in the absence of such payment, the amount of the Letter of Credit Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be a Dollar Revolver Advance, in the case of a payment under a Dollar Revolver Letter of
Credit, or a Multicurrency Revolver Advance, in the case of a payment under a Multicurrency Revolver Letter of Credit, hereunder, and, in the case of a Multicurrency Revolver Letter of Credit denominated in Euros, Agent may convert the then
outstanding principal amount of each such Multicurrency Revolver Letter of Credit to a Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars. If a Letter of Credit Disbursement is deemed to be a Revolver Advance hereunder, the applicable Borrower’s obligation
to pay the amount of such Letter of Credit Disbursement to Issuing Lender shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolver Advance. Promptly following receipt by Agent of any payment from Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, Agent shall
distribute such payment to the Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.11(c) to reimburse the Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Lender as their interests may appear.

 (c) 
 (i) Promptly following receipt of a notice of a Dollar Revolver Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to Section 2.11(b), each Dollar Revolver Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of any
Dollar Revolver Advance deemed made pursuant to Section 2.11(b) on the same terms and conditions as if Borrowers had requested the amount thereof as a Dollar Revolver Advance and Agent shall promptly pay to Issuing Lender the amounts so
received by it from Dollar Revolver Lenders. By the issuance of a Dollar Revolver Letter of Credit or a Reimbursement Undertaking with respect thereto (or an amendment to a Dollar Revolver Letter of Credit or a Reimbursement Undertaking with respect
thereto increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Lender or Dollar Revolver Lenders, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have granted to each Dollar Revolver Lender, and each Dollar Revolver Lender
shall be deemed to have purchased, a participation in each Dollar Revolver Letter of Credit issued by Issuing Lender and each Reimbursement Undertaking with respect thereto, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Dollar Revolver Letter of
Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking, and each such Lender agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Dollar Revolver Letter of Credit Disbursement made by Issuing Lender or an Underlying
Issuer under the applicable Dollar Revolver Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Dollar Revolver Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each Dollar Revolver Letter of Credit Disbursement made by Issuing Lender or an Underlying Issuer and not reimbursed by Borrowers on the date due as provided in Section 2.11(b), or of any reimbursement
payment required to be refunded to Borrowers for any reason. Each Dollar Revolver Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, an amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share of each
Dollar Revolver Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to this 

  
 28 









 
Section 2.11(c)(i) shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the
failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 3. If any such Lender fails to make available to Agent the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a Dollar Revolver Letter of Credit Disbursement as provided in this Section,
such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender and Agent (for the account of the Issuing Lender) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate until paid in
full. 
 (ii) Promptly following receipt of a notice of a Multicurrency Revolver Letter of Credit Disbursement
pursuant to Section 2.11(b), each Multicurrency Revolver Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Multicurrency Revolver Advance deemed made pursuant to Section 2.11(b) on the same terms and conditions as if Borrowers
had requested the amount thereof as a Multicurrency Revolver Advance and Agent shall promptly pay to Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from Multicurrency Revolver Lenders. By the issuance of a Multicurrency Revolver Letter of Credit or a
Reimbursement Undertaking with respect thereto (or an amendment to a Multicurrency Revolver Letter of Credit or a Reimbursement Undertaking with respect thereto increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing
Lender or Multicurrency Revolver Lenders, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have granted to each Multicurrency Revolver Lender, and each Multicurrency Revolver Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, a participation in each Multicurrency
Revolver Letter of Credit issued by Issuing Lender and each Reimbursement Undertaking with respect thereto, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Multicurrency Revolver Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking, and each such Lender
agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Multicurrency Revolver Letter of Credit Disbursement made by Issuing Lender or an Underlying Issuer under the applicable Multicurrency Revolver
Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Multicurrency Revolver Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each
Multicurrency Revolver Letter of Credit Disbursement made by Issuing Lender or an Underlying Issuer and not reimbursed by Borrowers on the date due as provided in Section 2.11(b), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded
to Borrowers for any reason. Each Multicurrency Revolver Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, an amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share of each Multicurrency Revolver
Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to this Section 2.11(c)(ii) shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the failure to
satisfy any condition set forth in Section 3. If any such Lender fails to make available to Agent the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a Multicurrency Revolver Letter of Credit Disbursement as provided in this Section, such
Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender and Agent (for the account of the Issuing Lender) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate until paid in full.


  
 29 









 (d) Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold the Lender Group, each
Issuing Lender and each Underlying Issuer harmless from any damage, loss, cost, expense, or liability (other than Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 16), and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Issuing Lender, any other
member of the Lender Group, or any Underlying Issuer arising out of or in connection with any Reimbursement Undertaking or any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any
loss, cost, expense, or liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or a breach in bad faith by such Indemnified Person of any Loan
Document. Each Borrower agrees to be bound by each of the Issuing Lender’s and Underlying Issuer’s respective regulations and interpretations of any Letter of Credit or by Issuing Lender’s interpretations of any Reimbursement
Undertaking even though this interpretation may be different from such Borrower’s own, and each Borrower understands and agrees that none of the Issuing Lender, the Lender Group, or any Underlying Issuer shall be liable for any error,
negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following any Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letter of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto. Each Borrower understands that the
Reimbursement Undertakings may require Issuing Lender to indemnify the Underlying Issuer for certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by a Borrower against such Underlying Issuer. Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and
hold Issuing Lender and the other members of the Lender Group harmless with respect to any loss, cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), or liability (other than Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 16) incurred
by them as a result of the Issuing Lender’s indemnification of an Underlying Issuer; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any such loss, cost, expense, or liability to the extent that
it is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or a breach in bad faith by such Indemnified Person of any Loan Document (in each case, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). Each Borrower
hereby acknowledges and agrees that none of the Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Underlying Issuer shall be responsible for delays, errors, or omissions resulting from the malfunction of equipment in connection with any
Letter of Credit. 
 (e) Each Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any Underlying Issuer to deliver to the Issuing Lender all
instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by such Underlying Issuer pursuant to such Underlying Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon the Issuing Lender’s instructions with respect to all matters arising in
connection with such Underlying Letter of Credit and the related application. 
 (f) The Borrowers hereby agree to pay to each
Issuing Lender (other than an Underlying Issuer), for its own account, a fronting fee denominated in Dollars in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it (the “Fronting Fee”) for the period from and including the date of
issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to 0.250% on the undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit. Accrued Fronting Fees shall be due and
payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each succeeding calendar quarter occurring after the Closing Date and upon the first day on or after the termination of the Revolver Commitments upon which no Letters of Credit remain
outstanding. In addition, the Borrowers shall pay the applicable Issuing Lender from time to time, the customary charges from time to time of such Issuing Bank with respect to the issuance, amendment, transfer, administration, cancellation and
conversion of, and drawings under, such Letters of Credit and customary processing fees. Any Fronting Fee shall be a Lender Group Expense for the purposes of this Agreement. 

  
 30 









 (g) If by reason of (i) any change after the Closing Date in any applicable law,
treaty, rule or regulation or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or (ii) compliance by the Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or Underlying Issuer with any direction,
request, or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority or monetary authority including, Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board as from time to time in effect (and any successor thereto)
(provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith
or in implementation thereof and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the
United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law, treaty, rule or regulation or a direction, request or requirement of a Governmental Authority, as applicable,
regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented): 
 (i) any reserve, deposit, or similar
requirement is or shall be imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued or caused to be issued hereunder or hereby, or 
 (ii) there shall be imposed on the Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or Underlying Issuer any other condition regarding any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking, and the
result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to the Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or an Underlying Issuer of issuing, making, guaranteeing, or maintaining any Reimbursement Undertaking or Letter of
Credit or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof, then, and in any such case, Agent may, at any time within a reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify Borrowers, and the Borrowers
shall pay within 30 days after demand therefor, such amounts as Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate the Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or an Underlying Issuer for such additional cost or reduced receipt,
together with interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the applicable Floating Rate; provided, however, that (a) in the case of a Multicurrency Revolver Letter of Credit
denominated in Euros, Agent may convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such Foreign Letter of Credit to a Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars and (b) no Borrower shall be required to provide any compensation pursuant to this
Section 2.11(g) for any such amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date on which the demand for payment of such amounts is first made to Borrowers; provided further, however, that if an event or
circumstance giving rise to such amounts is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. The determination by Agent of any amount due pursuant to this
Section 2.11(g), as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto.

 2.12 LIBOR Option. 

(a) Interest and Interest Payment Dates. In lieu of having interest charged at the rate based upon the Base Rate (in the case of
Revolver Advances), Borrowers shall have the option, subject to Section 2.12(b) below (the “LIBOR Option”) to have interest on all or a portion of the Revolver Advances (whether at the time when made (unless otherwise
provided herein), upon conversion from a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, or upon continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan) at a rate of interest based upon the LIBOR Rate. Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans shall be payable on the
earliest of (i) the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto; (ii) the date on which all or any portion of the Obligations are accelerated pursuant to the terms hereof, or (iii) the date on which this Agreement is terminated
pursuant to the terms hereof. With respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan denominated in Euros (other than Swingline Loans denominated in Euros), at the end of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing thereof, the applicable Borrower may elect to split
the respective Borrowing into two or more Borrowings of the same Type or combine two or more Borrowings of the same Type into a single Borrowing, in each case, by having an Authorized Person give notice thereof, together with its election of one or
more Interest Periods, in each case so long as each resulting Borrowing has an Interest Period which complies with the definition thereof. If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans, the applicable
Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan, as provided above, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have elected (A) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans
denominated in Dollars, to convert such LIBOR Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans and (B) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in Euros, to convert such LIBOR Rate Loans into LIBOR Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month. At any
time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless consented to by the Required Lenders in writing, the Borrowers no longer shall have the option to request that Revolver Advances bear interest at a rate based upon the LIBOR Rate,
and the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Multicurrency Revolver Advances to the US Borrower denominated in Euros be redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, that all LIBOR Rate
Loans of the US Borrower be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans and all LIBOR Rate Loans of the Foreign Borrower be converted to LIBOR Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month on the last day of the then current Interest Period with
respect thereto. 
 (b) LIBOR Election. 

(i) Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
(unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree), elect to exercise the LIBOR Option by notifying Agent prior to 12:00 noon (New York time) in the case of Advances denominated in Dollars and 5:00 p.m. (London time) in the case of Multicurrency Revolver
Advances denominated in Euros at least 3 Business Days prior to the commencement of the proposed Interest Period (the “LIBOR Deadline”). Notice of Borrowers’ election of the LIBOR Option for a permitted portion of the Advances
and an Interest Period pursuant to this Section shall be made by delivery 

  
 32 









 
to Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline, or by telephonic notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline (to be confirmed by delivery to Agent of a LIBOR Notice
received by Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York time) or 5:00 p.m. (London time), as applicable, on the same day). Promptly upon its receipt of each such LIBOR Notice, Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each of the affected Lenders. 

(ii) Each LIBOR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on the applicable Borrower. In connection with each LIBOR Rate
Loan, the Borrowers shall indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and Lenders harmless against any loss, cost, or expense actually incurred by Agent or any Lender as a result of (A) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on
the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (B) the conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (C) the failure to
borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any LIBOR Notice delivered pursuant hereto (such losses, costs, or expenses, “Funding Losses”). A certificate of Agent or a Lender delivered to the
Borrowers setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that Agent or such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such amount to Agent or
the Lender, as applicable, within 30 days of the date of its receipt of such certificate. If a payment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period would result in a Funding Loss, Agent may, in its
sole discretion at the request of the Borrowers, hold the amount of such payment as cash collateral in support of the Obligations until the last day of such Interest Period and apply such amounts to the payment of the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan on
such last day, it being agreed that Agent has no obligation to so defer the application of payments to any LIBOR Rate Loan and that, in the event that Agent does not defer such application, Borrowers shall be obligated to pay any resulting Funding
Losses. 
 (iii) Borrowers shall have not more than 10 LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or more than 10
LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in Euros in effect at any given time. Borrowers only may exercise the LIBOR Option for proposed LIBOR Rate Loans of at least $1,000,000. 
 (c) Conversion. Borrowers may convert LIBOR Rate Loans (other than LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in Euros) to Base Rate Loans at any time; provided, however, that in the event that
LIBOR Rate Loans are converted or prepaid on any date that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, including as a result of any automatic prepayment through the required application by Agent of proceeds of Collateral in
accordance with Section 2.4(b) or for any other reason, including early termination of the term of this Agreement or acceleration of all or any portion of the Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, each Borrower shall indemnify,
defend, and hold Agent and Lenders and their Participants harmless against any and all Funding Losses in accordance with Section 2.12 (b)(ii). 

  
 33 









 (d) Special Provisions Applicable to LIBOR Rate. 

(i) The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any
additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs, in each case, due to changes in applicable law (other than changes in laws relative to Taxes, which shall be governed by
Section 16) occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including changes in tax laws (except changes of general applicability in corporate income tax laws) and, with respect to Obligations
denominated in Dollars, changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor), which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding or maintaining loans bearing
interest at the LIBOR Rate. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give Borrowers and Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice
from the affected Lender, Borrowers may, by notice to such affected Lender (x) require such Lender to furnish to Borrowers a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the amount of such
adjustment, or (y) repay the LIBOR Rate Loans with respect to which such adjustment is made (together with any amounts due under Section 2.12(b)(ii)). 

(ii) In the event that (A) any change in any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the
interpretation or application thereof, shall at any time after the Closing Date (provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules,
guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law, treaty, rule, regulation
or directive, as applicable, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented), in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impossible for such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or to continue such funding or
maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate or (B)(1) Dollar or Euro deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of a requested LIBOR
Rate Loan, (2) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan, or (3) the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to
a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, such Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to Agent and Borrowers and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each
other Lender and (x) in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender that are outstanding, the date specified in such Lender’s notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loans, and interest upon
the LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans, and (y) Borrowers shall not be entitled to elect the LIBOR Option until such Lender determines that it would no longer be
unlawful or impractical to do so. 

  
 34 









 (e) No Requirement of Matched Funding. Anything to the contrary contained herein
notwithstanding, neither Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their Participants, is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at the LIBOR Rate. 

2.13 Capital Requirements; Exchange Indemnification; Regulatory Limitation. 

(a) If, after the Closing Date, any Lender determines in good faith that (i) the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation
or guideline regarding capital or reserve requirements for banks or bank holding companies, or any change in the interpretation, implementation, or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, or
(ii) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law)(provided that notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof and (y) all
requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory
authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law, treaty, rule or regulation or a guideline, request or directive of a Governmental Authority, as applicable, regardless of the date enacted, adopted,
issued or implemented), has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s Advances or Revolver Commitments hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or
such holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full
utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify the Company and Agent thereof. Following receipt of such notice, the Borrowers agree to pay such Lender on demand the amount
of such reduction of return of capital as and when such reduction is determined, payable within 30 days after presentation by such Lender of a statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail such Lender’s calculation thereof
and the assumptions upon which such calculation was based (which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error). In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Failure or delay on
the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this
Section for any reductions in return incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrowers of such law, rule, regulation or guideline giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim
compensation therefor, except that if such claim arises by reason of the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline that is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to immediately above shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof. 

  
 35 









 (b) If any Lender requests additional or increased costs referred to in
Section 2.12(d)(i) or amounts under Section 2.13(a) or Section 16 or sends a notice under Section 2.12(d)(ii), in each case, relative to changed circumstances (any such Lender, an “Affected
Lender”), then such Affected Lender shall use reasonable efforts to promptly designate a different one of its lending offices or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices or branches, if (i) in the
reasonable judgment of such Affected Lender, such designation or assignment would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12(d)(i), Section 2.13(a) or Section 16, as applicable, or would
eliminate the illegality or impracticality of funding or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans and (ii) in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Lender, such designation or assignment would not subject it to any material unreimbursed cost or expense
and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to it. Borrowers agree to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Affected Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. If, after such reasonable
efforts, such Affected Lender does not so designate a different one of its lending offices or assign its rights to another of its offices or branches so as to eliminate Borrowers’ obligation to pay any future amounts to such Affected Lender
pursuant to Section 2.12(d)(i), Section 2.13(a), or Section 16, as applicable, or to enable Borrowers to obtain LIBOR Rate Loans, then Borrowers (without prejudice to any amounts then due to such Affected Lender
under Section 2.12(d)(i), Section 2.13(a), or Section 16, as applicable) may, unless prior to the effective date of any such assignment the Affected Lender withdraws its request for such additional amounts under
Section 2.12(d)(i), Section 2.13(a), or Section 16, as applicable, or indicates that it is no longer unlawful or impractical to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, may seek a substitute Lender reasonably acceptable
to Agent (if such Lender is not an existing Lender) to purchase the Obligations owed to such Affected Lender and such Affected Lender’s Revolver Commitments, if applicable, hereunder (a “Replacement Lender”), and if such
Replacement Lender agrees to such purchase, such Affected Lender shall assign to the Replacement Lender its Obligations and Revolver Commitments, if applicable, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, and upon such purchase by the
Replacement Lender, such Replacement Lender shall be deemed to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement and such Affected Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement. 

(c) The Borrowers shall, upon demand from any member of the Lender Group, pay to such Person, the amount of (i) any loss or cost or
increased cost incurred by such Person, (ii) any reduction in any amount payable to or in the effective return on the capital to such Person, (iii) any interest or any other return, including principal, foregone by such Person as a result
of the introduction of, change over to or operation of the Euro or (iv) any currency exchange loss that such Person sustains, in each case of clauses (i) through (iv), as a result of (1) any payment being made by any Borrower in a
currency other than that originally extended to such Borrower or (2) the failure of any Borrower to repay an Advance or Letter of Credit Disbursement denominated in Euros. A certificate of Agent setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for
determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such member of the Lender Group or shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error. 
 (d) In the event, as a result of increases in the value of the Euro against the Dollar or for any other reason, the obligation of any Multicurrency Revolver Lender to make Multicurrency Revolver Advances
(taking into account the Dollar Equivalent of the Obligations and all other indebtedness required to be aggregated under 12 U.S.C.A. §84, as amended, the regulations promulgated thereunder and any other Law) is determined by such Lender to
exceed its then applicable legal lending limit under 12 U.S.C.A. §84, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other Law, the amount of additional Multicurrency Revolver


  
 36 









 
Advances or Multicurrency Revolver Letters of Credit such Lender shall be obligated to make or issue or participate in hereunder shall immediately be reduced to the maximum amount which such
Multicurrency Revolver Lender may legally advance (as determined by such Multicurrency Revolver Lender), the obligation of each of the remaining Multicurrency Revolver Lenders hereunder, to the extent necessary under such laws and regulations (as
determined by each of the Multicurrency Revolver Lenders, with respect to the applicability of such laws and regulations to itself), shall be proportionately reduced, based on its applicable Pro Rata Share, and the Borrowers shall reduce, or cause
to be reduced, complying to the extent practicable with the remaining provisions hereof, the Multicurrency Revolver Obligations outstanding hereunder by an amount sufficient to comply with such maximum amounts. 

2.14 Swing Line.  
 (a) The Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Revolver Lenders agree that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, promptly after a Borrower requests a
Multicurrency Revolver Advance that is a LIBOR Rate Loan denominated in Euros, the Swingline Lender may elect to have the terms of this Section 2.14(a) apply to such request by advancing, on behalf of the Multicurrency Revolver Lenders
and in the amount requested, same day funds to the relevant Borrower, on the applicable Funding Date to the applicable Designated Account(s) (each such Multicurrency Revolver Advance made solely by the Swingline Lender pursuant to this
Section 2.14(a) is referred to in this Agreement as a “Swingline Loan”), with settlement among them as to the Swingline Loans to take place on a periodic basis as set forth in Section 2.14(c). Each Swingline Loan
shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other LIBOR Rate Loans funded by the Multicurrency Revolver Lenders, except that all payments thereon shall be payable to the Swingline Lender solely for its own account and except for
the notice requirements. The aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Dollar Equivalent of $25,000,000. The Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan (i) if the requested Swingline Loan
would result in (x) the Multicurrency Revolver Usage exceeding the Maximum Multicurrency Revolver Amount at such time or (y) the Revolver Usage exceeding the lesser of (1) the Maximum Revolver Amount and (2) the Borrowing Base at
such time (in each case before giving effect to such Swingline Loan) or (ii) the Swingline Lender has actual knowledge that one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the date
of the applicable Swingline Loan. All Swingline Loans shall be Overnight LIBO Borrowings. 
 (b) Upon the making of a Swingline
Loan (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such Swingline Loan), each Multicurrency Revolver Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto,
to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swingline Loan in proportion to its Pro Rata Share of the Multicurrency Revolver Commitment.
The Swingline Lender may, at any time, require the Multicurrency Revolver Lenders to fund their participations. From and after the date, if any, on which any Multicurrency Revolver Lender is required to fund its participation in any Swingline Loan
purchased hereunder, the Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined with respect to the Multicurrency Revolver Commitments) of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral
received by the Agent in respect of such Loan. 

  
 37 









 (c) The Agent, on behalf of the Swingline Lender, shall request settlement (a
“Swingline Settlement”) with the Multicurrency Revolver Lenders on at least a weekly basis or on any date that the Agent elects, by notifying the Multicurrency Revolver Lenders of such requested Swingline Settlement by facsimile, or
e-mail no later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) three Business Days prior to the date of such requested Swingline Settlement (the “Swingline Settlement Date”). Each Multicurrency Revolver Lender (other than the Swingline Lender, in
the case of the Swingline Loans) shall transfer the amount of such Multicurrency Revolver Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined with respect to the Multicurrency Revolver Commitments) of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable
Swingline Loan with respect to which Swingline Settlement is requested to the Agent, to such account of the Agent as the Agent may designate, not later than 2:00 p.m. (London time), on such Swingline Settlement Date. Swingline Settlements may occur
during the existence of a Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the Swingline
Lender’s Swingline Loans and, together with Swingline Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined with respect to the Multicurrency Revolver Commitments) of such Swingline Loan, shall constitute Multicurrency Revolver Advances of such
Multicurrency Revolver Lenders (which Multicurrency Revolver Advances will be LIBOR Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one week). If any such amount is not transferred to the Agent by any Multicurrency Revolver Lender on such Swingline Settlement
Date, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, as specified in Section 2.07.

 41 









 (iv) Foreign (Non-Canadian/Non-UK) Cash Dominion. During the
continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent may, or, at the request of the Required Lenders shall, send at any time, an Activation Notice to the bank or financial institution at which any Foreign (Non-Canadian/Non-UK) Collection Account is
maintained, commencing a period of exclusive control or dominion by the Agent. The Agent shall provide the Borrowers with at least seven (7) days’ written notice prior to delivery of any Activation Notice. Such Activation Notice may direct

shall be treated as payments to the Agent subject to Section 2.15(b), Lenders and other holders of the Obligations in respect of the Obligations, subject to the limitations in Section 2.14, and therefore shall constitute the property of
the Agent, the Lenders and the other holders of the Obligations to the extent of the then outstanding Obligations and (B) all amounts received in any Dominion Account shall be applied (and allocated) by Agent as follows: 

(A) first, to pay the principal of all Revolver Advances until paid in full (without any corresponding reduction in
the Revolver Commitment), 
 (B) second, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to Cash
Collateralize any Letters of Credit (to the extent permitted by applicable law, such cash collateral shall be applied to the reimbursement of any such Letter of Credit Disbursement as and when such disbursement occurs and, if a Letter of Credit
expires undrawn, the cash collateral held by Agent in respect of such Letter of Credit shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be reapplied pursuant to this Section 2.15(d)(vi), beginning with tier (A) hereof), and

 (C) third, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the Borrowers (to be

 2.16 Circumstances Affecting Euro Availability. In connection with any request
for a Multicurrency Revolver Advance denominated in Euros (“Euro Advances”) or Multicurrency Revolver Letter of Credit denominated in Euros (“Euro Letters of Credit” and, together with the Euro Advances, the
“Euro Extensions”) or a continuation or extension thereof, if the introduction of, or any change in, any Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Multicurrency Revolver Lenders (or any of their applicable lending office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any
such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Multicurrency Revolver Lender (or any of their applicable lending office) to honor its obligations to make or maintain any Euro Extensions,

Euro Extensions or any continuation or extension thereof, as applicable, shall be suspended and the Borrowers shall either (a) repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of such Euro Advances, together
with accrued interest thereon, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Euro Advances or (b) convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such Euro Advances to a Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars as of
the last day of such Interest Period; provided that if any of the Borrowers elects to make such conversion, the Borrowers shall pay to Agent and Multicurrency Revolver Lenders any and all costs, fees and other expenses, if any, incurred by Agent and

thereof) on such Additional Term Advance Closing Date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date) and (y) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such
Additional Term Advance Closing Date, nor shall either result from the making of Additional Term Advances and (2) the Company is in compliance with the covenants set forth in Sections 7.1, 7.3, 7.4 and 7.5 after

support thereof shall have been terminated (or that all of the foregoing shall occur substantially simultaneously with the funding of such Additional Term Advances). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this agreement, the Lenders agree
without any further action or consent on the part of any Lender, that the Agent, the Additional Term Lenders and the Loan Parties may make any changes to the Loan Documents (other than to this Section 2.21) as may be necessary to reflect
the provision of Additional Term Advances.

Restricted Subsidiary of any Borrower has incurred any material liability or obligation under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act or similar state law, which remains due and owing under applicable law, except such as has not

post-petition federal assessments and taxes and all other material post-petition assessments and taxes imposed, levied, or assessed against any Loan Party or its Restricted Subsidiaries (in the case of the US Borrower, to the extent constituting

of such assessment or tax shall be the subject of a Permitted Protest and so long as, in the case of an assessment or tax that has or may become a Lien against any of the Collateral, such contest proceedings conclusively operate to stay the sale of
any portion of the Collateral to satisfy such assessment or tax. Each Borrower will and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to make timely payment or deposit of all material tax payments and withholding taxes required of it and them by

 5.6 Insurance. At Borrowers’ expense, maintain insurance respecting each
of the Loan Parties’ and the Restricted Subsidiaries’ assets wherever located, covering loss or damage by fire, theft, explosion, and all other hazards and risks as ordinarily are insured against by other Persons engaged in the same or
similar businesses. Borrowers also shall maintain (with respect to each of the Loan Parties and the Restricted Subsidiaries) business interruption, general liability, product liability insurance, director’s and officer’s liability
insurance, fiduciary liability insurance, and employment practices liability insurance, as well as insurance against larceny, embezzlement, criminal misappropriation and flood insurance with respect to any Real Property Collateral in a flood plain.
All such policies of insurance shall be with responsible and reputable insurance companies acceptable to Agent and in such amounts as is carried generally in accordance with sound business practice by companies in similar businesses similarly
situated and located and in any event in amount, adequacy and scope satisfactory to Agent in its Permitted Discretion. All property insurance policies covering the Collateral are to be made payable to Agent for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, as
their interests may appear, in case of loss, pursuant to a standard loss payable endorsement with a standard non contributory “lender” or “secured party” clause and are to contain such other provisions as Agent may reasonably
request in its Permitted Discretion to fully protect Lenders’ interest in the Collateral and to any payments to be made under such policies. All certificates of property and general liability insurance are to be delivered to Agent (with a copy
to each of the Required Term Lenders’ Advisors), with the loss payable (but only in respect of Collateral) and additional insured endorsements in favor of Agent and the Borrowers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
certificates and endorsements, as applicable, to provide for not less than 30 days (10 days in the case of non-payment) prior written notice to Agent of the exercise of any right of cancellation. If any Borrower fails to maintain such
insurance, Agent may arrange for such insurance, but at such Borrower’s expense and without any responsibility on Agent’s part for obtaining the insurance, the solvency of the insurance companies, the adequacy of the coverage, or the
collection of claims. Borrowers shall give Agent prompt notice of any loss exceeding $2,500,000 covered by its casualty or business interruption insurance. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the
sole right to file claims under any property and general liability insurance policies in respect of the Collateral, to receive, receipt and give acquittance for any payments that may be payable thereunder, and to execute any and all endorsements,

and activities. Permit Agent (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Lender) and each of its duly authorized representatives or agents to visit any of its properties and inspect any of its assets or books and records, to

evidenced by this Agreement or by any of the other Loan Documents immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and be immediately due and payable and Borrowers shall be obligated to repay all of such Obligations in full, without
presentment, demand, protest, or further notice or other requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Borrower; 
 (b) declare the Revolver Commitments terminated, whereupon the Revolver Commitments shall immediately be terminated together with (i) any obligation of any Lender hereunder to make Advances,

fashion from any cause, (iii) any diminution in the value thereof, or (iv) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person, and (b) all risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral

proceedings, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, and damages, and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, or consultants and all other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the
enforcement of this indemnification (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), at any time asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them (a) in connection with or as a result of or related to the
execution and delivery (provided that Borrowers shall not be liable for costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of any Lender (other than JPMorgan or its Applicable Designee) incurred in advising, structuring, drafting, reviewing,
administering or syndicating the Loan Documents), enforcement, performance, or administration (including any restructuring or workout with respect hereto) of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or the Transactions or any transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby or the monitoring of Borrowers’ and their Subsidiaries’ compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents (provided, however, that the indemnification in this clause (a) shall not extend to
(i) disputes solely between or among Lenders or (ii) disputes solely between or among Lenders and their respective Affiliates; it being understood and agreed that the indemnification in this clause (a) shall extend to Agent (but not
Lenders) relative to disputes between or among Agent on the one hand, and one or more Lenders, or one or more of their Affiliates, on the other hand, or (iii) any Taxes or any costs attributable to Taxes, which shall governed by
Section 16), (b) with respect to any investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or the use of the proceeds of the credit provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any Indemnified
Person is a party thereto), or any act, omission, event, or circumstance in any manner related thereto, whether brought by a third party or by the Company or any other Loan Party, and (c) in connection with or arising out of any presence or
release of Hazardous Materials at, on, under, to or from any assets or properties currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Actions, Environmental Liabilities or Remedial Actions
related in any way to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (each and all of the foregoing, the “Indemnified Liabilities”). The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, no Borrower shall have any obligation to any Indemnified
Person under this Section 10.3 with respect to any Indemnified Liability that (i) a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or
(ii) result from a claim brought by the Company or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Company or such other Loan Party has
obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations. If any Indemnified Person
makes any payment to any other Indemnified Person with respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which any Borrower was required to indemnify the Indemnified Person receiving such payment, the Indemnified Person making such payment is entitled to be
indemnified and reimbursed by Borrowers with respect thereto. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF ANY
NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR OF ANY OTHER PERSON. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 10.3 and all other provisions in any of the other Loan Documents with
respect to indemnification by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are subject in all respects to the limitations set forth in Section 2.14.

 13. ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS; SUCCESSORS. 

13.1 Assignments and Participations. 
 (a) With the prior written consent of the Agent, which consent of Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and shall not be required in connection with an assignment in respect of
the Term Facility to a Person that is a Lender, an Affiliate (other than individuals) of a Lender or a Related Fund, any Lender may assign and delegate to one or more assignees so long as such prospective assignee is an Eligible Transferee (each, an
“Assignee”) all or any portion of the Obligations, the Dollar Revolver Commitments, the Multicurrency Revolver Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, in a
minimum amount (unless waived by Agent) of $5,000,000 (in the case of assignments in respect of the Dollar Revolver Facility or Multicurrency Revolver Facility) or $500,000 (in the case of assignments in respect of the Term Facility (subject to
Section 13.1(l)) (except, in each case, that such minimum amount shall not apply to (x) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, (y) an assignment or delegation by any
Lender to any other Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or a Related Fund or (z) a group of new Lenders, each of which is an Affiliate of each other or a Related Fund of such new Lender to the extent that the aggregate amount to be assigned to
all such new Lenders is at least $5,000,000 (in the case of assignments in respect of the Dollar Revolver Facility or the Multicurrency Revolver Facility) or $500,000 (in the case of assignments in respect of the Term Facility)); provided,
however, that (x) simultaneous assignments to members of an Assignee Group shall be treated as a single assignment for purposes of the foregoing minimums and (y) Borrowers and Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses, and related information with respect to the Assignee, have been given to Borrowers and
Agent by such Lender and the Assignee, (ii) such Lender and its Assignee have delivered to Borrowers and Agent an Assignment and Acceptance and Agent has notified the assigning Lender of its receipt thereof in accordance with
Section 13.1(b), and (iii) unless waived by Agent, the assigning Lender or Assignee has paid to Agent for Agent’s separate account a processing fee in the amount of $3,500 (which fees shall be waived in connection with any
assignment made pursuant to Section 13.1(l)); provided further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, on or prior to the Final Term Funding Date, assignments in respect of Term Commitments and/or Term Advances shall only be
permitted to be made in accordance with Section 13.1(l). 
 (b) From and after the date that Agent notifies the
assigning Lender (with a copy to Borrowers) that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance and, if applicable, payment of the required processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that
rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall be a “Lender” and shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assigning Lender
shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except with respect to Section 10.3) and be
released from any future obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an 

  
 96 









 
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto and thereto); provided, however, that
nothing contained herein shall release any assigning Lender from obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement, including such assigning Lender’s obligations under Section 15 and Section 17.9(a). At the time
of each assignment pursuant to Section 13.1(a) to a Person that is not already a Lender hereunder the assignee shall comply with Article 16. To the extent that prior to the occurrence of the acceleration of the Obligations an
assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitment and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Sections 2.1(g), 2.3(g), 2.13(b), 14.2, or 13.1(a) would, at the time of such assignment, result
in increased costs under Section 2.13, Section 14.2, or Article 16 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such
increased costs (although the Borrowers, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes in law, rule, regulation,
order or other decision with respect to any of the foregoing by any Governmental Authority after the date of the respective assignment). 
 (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:
(i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with
this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and
assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Borrower or the performance or observance by any Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (iii) such
Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance,
(iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions
in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to Agent, by the terms
hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will perform all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

 (d) Immediately upon Agent’s receipt of the required processing fee, if applicable, and delivery of notice to the
assigning Lender pursuant to Section 13.1(b), this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Dollar
Revolver Commitments or Multicurrency Revolver Commitments arising therefrom and (ii) to the extent necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee, and the Borrowers shall promptly take such actions that the Agent asks and considers
necessary and promptly execute or deliver to Agent an update of any form of registrations over the Lenders and the Bank Product Providers in relation to any security interest in the Collateral (including but not limited to any security in relation
to 

  
 97 









 
shares issued by Exide Technologies A/S and to any security under the Foreign Security Documents governed by Italian law). The Dollar Revolver Commitment or Multicurrency Revolver Commitment (if
any) allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Dollar Revolver Commitments or Multicurrency Revolver Commitments, as applicable, of the assigning Lender pro tanto. 
 (e) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons (a “Participant”) participating interests in all or any portion of its
Obligations, its Dollar Revolver Commitment, its Multicurrency Revolver Commitment, and the other rights and interests of that Lender (the “Originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided,
however, that (i) the Originating Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Participant receiving the participating interest in the Obligations, the Dollar Revolver
Commitments, the Multicurrency Revolver Commitments, and the other rights and interests of the Originating Lender hereunder shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the Originating Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrowers, Agent, and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly
with the Originating Lender in connection with the Originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant
has the right to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment to, or consent or waiver with respect to this Agreement or of any other Loan Document
would (A) extend the final maturity date of the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (B) reduce the interest rate applicable to the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating,
(C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or guaranties (except to the extent expressly provided herein or in any of the Loan Documents) supporting the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating,
(D) postpone the payment of, or reduce the amount of, the interest or fees payable to such Participant through such Lender (other than a waiver of default interest), or (E) decrease the amount or postpone the due dates of scheduled
principal repayments or prepayments or premiums payable to such Participant through such Lender, and (v) all amounts payable by Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation, except that, if amounts
outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set off in respect of its
participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, subject to the limitations set forth herein otherwise
applicable with respect to the set off rights of Lenders. The rights of any Participant only shall be derivative through the Originating Lender with whom such Participant participates and no Participant shall have any rights under this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents or any direct rights as to the other Lenders, Agent, Borrowers, the collections of Borrowers or their Subsidiaries, the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Obligations. No Participant shall have the right to
participate directly in the making of decisions by Lenders among themselves. 

  
 98 









 (f) In connection with any such assignment or participation or proposed assignment or
participation or any grant of a security interest in, or pledge of, its rights under and interest in this Agreement, a Lender may, subject to the provisions of Section 17.9, disclose all documents and information which it now or
hereafter may have relating to any Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their respective businesses. 
 (g) Any other provision in
this Agreement notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of
the Federal Reserve Bank or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.24, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable Law. 

(h) Agent (as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of Borrowers) shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, a register (the
“Register”) on which it enters the name and address of each Lender as the registered owner of the Dollar Revolver Commitment or Multicurrency Revolver Commitment (if any) (and the principal amount of Advances owing thereto and
stated interest thereon) held by such Lender (each, a “Registered Loan”). (i) A Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such
assignment or sale on the Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide) and (ii) any assignment or sale of all or part of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by
registration of such assignment or sale on the Register, together with the surrender of the registered note, if any, evidencing the same duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or sale duly executed by) the holder of
such registered note, whereupon, at the request of the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s), one or more new registered notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s). Prior to the
registration of assignment or sale of any Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any evidencing the same), Borrowers shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered
as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. 
 (i) In the event that a Lender sells participations in the Registered Loan, such Lender, as a non-fiduciary agent solely for the purpose set forth in this Section 13.1(i) on behalf of
Borrowers, shall maintain (or cause to be maintained) a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Registered Loans held by it (and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of such Registered Loans that
is subject to such participations) (the “Participant Register”). A Registered Loan (and the Registered Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the
Participant Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide). Any participation of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the
Participant Register. 
 (j) Agent shall make a copy of the Register (and each Lender shall make a copy of its Participant
Register to the extent it has one) available for review by Borrowers from time to time as Borrowers may reasonably request. 

  
 99 









 (k) The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower,
Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. 
 (l) Prior to the Final Term Funding Date, assignments of the Initial Term Advances made on the Closing Date shall be permitted only by the Signing Term Lenders to members of the Prepetition Senior Secured
Noteholders’ Unofficial Committee, which assignments the Signing Term Lenders will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect within 10 Business Days of the Closing Date. Following the making of the Initial Term Advances, the Prepetition
Senior Secured Noteholders, including the Signing Term Lenders and such members of the Prepetition Senior Secured Noteholders’ Unofficial Committee, shall be provided with the opportunity to subscribe for the Delayed Draw Term Commitments. Each
Prepetition Senior Secured Noteholder shall be permitted to subscribe for the Delayed Draw Term Commitments in an amount (the “Subscription Amount”) up to the aggregate principal amount of Prepetition Senior Secured Notes it holds
as of a date to be determined by the US Borrower in consultation with the Required Term Lenders’ Advisors (the “Applicable Date”), with the Subscription Amount for each Signing Term Lender or such member of the Prepetition
Senior Secured Noteholders’ Unofficial Committee being deemed to equal 100% of the aggregate principal amount of Prepetition Senior Secured Notes it holds as of the Applicable Date. Thereafter, the Delayed Draw Term Commitments shall be
allocated to the subscribing Prepetition Senior Secured Noteholders, including each Signing Term Lender or such member of the Prepetition Senior Secured Noteholders’ Unofficial Committee, on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate Subscription
Amounts for all subscribing Prepetition Senior Secured Noteholders, including each Signing Term Lender and each such member of the Prepetition Senior Secured Noteholders’ Unofficial Committee. On or prior to the Final Term Funding Date, the
Delayed Draw Term Commitments will be assigned by the Term Lenders then holding such Delayed Draw Term Commitments to the other subscribing Prepetition Senior Secured Noteholders in a manner consistent with such allocations. The assignment
procedures described in this Section 13.1(l) may be adjusted by the Agent in its reasonable discretion in consultation with the Required Term Lenders’ Advisors. The assignments referred to in this Section 13.1(l) shall
not be subject to any consent or requirement as to minimum amounts to be assigned. Upon the completion of such assignments, the Agent shall be authorized to, in consultation with the Required Term Lenders’ Advisors, but without the consent of
any Lender, the Required Lenders or any Loan Party, modify Schedule C-2 to set forth the Initial Term Advances and Delayed Draw Commitments held by each Term Lender after giving effect to all such assignments. 

13.2 Successors. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the
parties; provided, however, that no Borrower may assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without Lenders’ prior written consent and any prohibited assignment or transfer shall be absolutely void ab
initio. No consent to assignment by Lenders shall release any Borrower from its Obligations. A Lender may assign this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and its rights and duties hereunder and thereunder pursuant to Section 13.1
and, except as expressly required pursuant to Section 13.1, no consent or approval by any Borrower is required in connection with any such assignment.

(and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that Agent does not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis (except to the extent, if any, that is
expressly specified herein) to provide such Lender (or Bank Product Provider) with any credit or other information with respect to any Borrower, its Affiliates or any of their respective business, legal, financial or other affairs, and irrespective

of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees and expenses, and costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral, whether or not Borrowers are obligated to reimburse Agent or Lenders for such expenses
pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from the Collections of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries received by Agent to reimburse Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses
prior to the distribution of any amounts to Lenders (or Bank Product Providers). In the event Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses by Borrowers or their Subsidiaries, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay
to Agent such Lender’s ratable thereof. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each of Lenders, on a ratable basis, shall indemnify and defend Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of
Borrowers and without limiting the 

  
 112









 
obligation of Borrowers to do so) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person
of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or for breach in bad faith of such Person’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in each case, as
a finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) nor shall any Lender be liable for the obligations of any Defaulting Lender in failing to make an Advance or other extension of credit hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, each
Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for such Lender’s ratable share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including attorneys, accountants, advisors, and consultants fees and expenses) incurred by Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any other

shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. The terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include JPMorgan in its individual capacity. 
 15.9 Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent (i) in respect of the Term Facility, the Revolver Facility and the Letters of Credit, (ii) the Term Facility only or (iii) the
Revolver Facility and the Letters of Credit but not the Term Facility, in each case upon 30 days prior written notice to Lenders (unless such notice is waived by the Required Lenders, in the case of clause (i) above, the Required Term
Lenders, in the case of clause (ii) above, or the Required Revolver Lenders, in the case of clause (iii) above) and Borrowers (unless such notice is waived by Borrowers) and without any notice to the Bank Product Providers. If Agent
resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders, in the case of clause (i) above, the Required Term Lenders, in the case of clause (ii) above, or the Required Revolver Lenders, in the case of clause (iii) above, as applicable,
shall be entitled, with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), appoint a successor Agent for Lenders (and the Bank Product
Providers). If, at the time that Agent’s resignation is effective, it is acting as the Issuing Lender or the Swingline 

  
 113









 
Lender, such resignation shall also operate to effectuate its resignation as the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, and it shall automatically be relieved of any further
obligation to issue Letters of Credit, to cause the Underlying Issuer to issue Letters of Credit or to make Swingline Loans. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after
consulting with Lenders and Borrowers, a successor Agent. In any such event, upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring Agent and the
term “Agent” shall mean such successor Agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers, and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this
Section 15 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days following a
retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Required Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required
Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. If at any time the Person acting as “Agent” in respect of the Term Facility is not the Person acting as “Agent” in respect of the Revolver Facility and the Letters of
Credit, the term “Agent” as used herein shall be deemed a collective reference to each such Person, the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed accordingly, mutatis mutandis, and such
Persons shall cooperate in the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the extent necessary or appropriate. 
 15.10 Lender in Individual Capacity. Any Lender and its respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, provide Bank Products to,
acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with any Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents as though such
Lender were not a Lender hereunder without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group (or the Bank Product Providers). The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank
Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, pursuant to such activities, such Lender and its respective Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrowers or their Affiliates or any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is
subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrowers or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to Lenders, and Lenders acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider
shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver such Lender will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), such Lender shall not be under any obligation
to provide such information to them. 
 15.11 Collateral Matters. 

(a) Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to
authorize) Agent to release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Revolver Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if a release
is required or desirable in connection therewith and if Borrowers certify to Agent that the sale or disposition is permitted under Section 6.4 (and Agent may rely conclusively on any


  
 114









 
such certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) constituting property in which no Borrower and no Subsidiary of Borrowers owned any interest at the time Agent’s Lien was granted nor
at any time thereafter, or (iv) constituting property leased to any Borrower or its Subsidiaries under a lease that has expired or is terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement. The Loan Parties and Lenders hereby irrevocably
authorize (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to authorize) Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid and purchase (either directly or through one or more
acquisition vehicles) or to sell or otherwise dispose of (or to consent to any such sale or other disposition of) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted by Agent under the provisions of the Code or the PPSA, including
pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the Code, at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or pursuant to a plan of reorganization, or at any sale or foreclosure
conducted by Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with applicable Law. Except as provided above, Agent will not execute and deliver a release of any Lien on any Collateral without the prior written authorization of
(x) if the release is of all or substantially all of the Collateral, all of Lenders (without requiring the authorization of the Bank Product Providers), or (y) otherwise, the Required Lenders (without requiring the authorization of the
Bank Product Providers); provided however, that no such release of Borrowing Base Collateral shall be permitted without the consent of the Required Revolver Lenders. Upon request by Agent or any Borrower at any time, Lenders will (and
if so requested, the Bank Product Providers will) confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 15.11; provided, however, that
(1) Agent shall not be required to execute any document necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such
Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty, and (2) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of any Borrower in
respect of) all interests retained by any Borrower, including, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. Lenders further hereby irrevocably authorize (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement,
each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to authorize) Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to subordinate any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Permitted Lien on such property if such
Permitted Lien secures Permitted Purchase Money Indebtedness. 
 (b) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of Lenders
(or the Bank Product Providers) to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by a Borrower or a Borrower’s Subsidiary or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that Agent’s Liens have been properly or
sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect thereof or whether to impose, maintain,
reduce, or eliminate any particular reserve hereunder or whether the amount of any such reserve is appropriate or not, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising,
any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and
conditions contained herein, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of Lenders and that Agent shall have no other duty or liability
whatsoever to any Lender (or Bank Product Provider) as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise provided herein. 

  
 115









 15.12 Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments. 

(a) Each of Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of Agent and only during the continuance of an Event of
Default, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the written request of Agent during the continuance of an Event of Default, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to any Borrower or its
Subsidiaries or any deposit accounts (but excluding any Dominion Account or any US Control Account, UK Control Account, Foreign (Non-Canadian/Non-UK) Control Account or Canadian Control Account) of any Borrower or its Subsidiaries now or hereafter
maintained with such Lender. Each of Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including, the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings to
enforce any Loan Document against any Borrower or any Guarantor or to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral. 
 (b) If, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations, except for any
such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from Agent in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share in respect of the Multicurrency Revolver Obligations, the Dollar
Revolver Obligations or the Term Obligations, as applicable, of all such distributions by Agent, such Lender promptly shall (A) turn the same over to Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to Agent,
or in immediately available funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Multicurrency Revolver Lenders, Dollar Revolver Lenders or Term Lenders, as applicable, and for application to the Multicurrency Revolver Obligations, Dollar Revolver
Obligations or Term Obligations, as applicable, in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (B) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Multicurrency Revolver Obligations,
Dollar Revolver Obligations or Term Obligations, as applicable, owed to the other applicable Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the applicable Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares;
provided, however, that to the extent that such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the
applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess
payment. 
 15.13 Agency for Perfection. Agent hereby appoints each other Lender (and each Bank Product Provider)
as its agent (and each Lender hereby accepts (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to accept) such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting Agent’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with
Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the Code or in accordance with the PPSA can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof,
and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions. 

  
 116









 15.14 Payments by Agent to Lenders. All payments to be made by Agent to
Lenders (or Bank Product Providers) shall be made by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to such wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to Agent. Concurrently with each such
payment, Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, premium, fees, or interest of the Obligations. 
 15.15 Concerning the Collateral and Related Loan Documents. Each member of the Lender Group authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each
member of the Lender Group agrees (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to agree) that any action taken by Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents relating
to the Collateral and the exercise by Agent of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of Lenders (and such Bank Product Provider). Agent is authorized
by the Lenders, without necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security
interest in and liens upon Collateral pursuant to the Loan Documents. 
 15.16 Audits and Examination Reports;
Confidentiality; Disclaimers by Lenders; Other Reports and Information. By becoming a party to this Agreement, each Lender: 
 (a) is deemed to have requested that Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination report respecting any Borrower or its Subsidiaries (each, a
“Report”) prepared by or at the request of Agent, and Agent shall so furnish each Lender with such Reports, 

(b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent does not (i) make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report,
and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report, 
 (c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the
Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that Agent or other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding a Borrower and its Subsidiaries and will rely significantly upon each
Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ books and records, as well as on representations of each Borrower’s personnel, 

(d) agrees to keep all Reports and other material, non-public information regarding each Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their
operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans in a confidential manner in accordance with Section 17.9, and 
 (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold Agent and any other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the
indemnifying Lender may take or fail to take or any conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other 

  
 117









 
credit accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Borrowers, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a loan or
loans of Borrowers, and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold Agent, and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts
(including, attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender. 

In addition to the foregoing: (x) any Lender may from time to time request of Agent in writing that Agent provide to such Lender a copy of any
report or document provided by any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Borrower to Agent that has not been contemporaneously provided by any Borrower or its Subsidiaries to such Lender, and, upon receipt of such request, Agent promptly shall provide a
copy of same to such Lender, (y) to the extent that Agent is entitled, under any provision of the Loan Documents, to request additional reports or information from any Borrower or its Subsidiaries, any Lender may, from time to time, reasonably
request Agent to exercise such right as specified in such Lender’s notice to Agent, whereupon Agent promptly shall request of such Borrower the additional reports or information reasonably specified by such Lender, and, upon receipt thereof
from such Borrower or its Subsidiaries, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, and (z) any time that Agent renders to any Borrower a statement regarding the Loan Account, Agent shall send a copy of such statement to each
Lender. 
 15.17 Several Obligations; No Liability. Notwithstanding that certain of the Loan Documents as of the
Closing Date or thereafter may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of Agent in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of Agent (if any) to make any credit available hereunder shall
constitute the several (and not joint) obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their respective Commitments, to make an amount of such credit not to exceed, in principal amount, at any one time outstanding, the amount
of their respective Commitments. Nothing contained herein shall confer upon any Lender any interest in, or subject any Lender to any liability for, or in respect of, the business, assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of any other Lender. Each
Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the extent any such notice may be required, and no Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or liability to any Participant of any
other Lender. Except as provided in Section 15.7, no member of the Lender Group shall have any liability for the acts of any other member of the Lender Group. No Lender shall be responsible to any Borrower or any other Person for any
failure by any other Lender (or Bank Product Provider) to fulfill its obligations to make credit available hereunder, nor to advance for such Lender (or Bank Product Provider) or on its behalf, nor to take any other action on behalf of such Lender
(or Bank Product Provider) hereunder or in connection with the financing contemplated herein. 
 15.18 Reserved.

 15.19 Dutch Parallel Debt Provision. 
 (a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Agent amounts equal to the aggregate amount from time to time payable (verschuldigd) to the Lender Group and any
Bank Product Provider under or pursuant to its Obligations (such payment undertaking to the Agent hereinafter referred to as the “Dutch Parallel Debt Obligations”). 

  
 118









 (b) The Dutch Parallel Debt Obligations will become due and payable (opeisbaar)
immediately upon the Agent’s first demand, which may be made at any time, as and when one or more of the Obligations becomes due and payable. 
 (c) Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledges that (A) the Dutch Parallel Debt Obligations constitute undertakings, obligations and liabilities of the Borrowers to the Agent that are
transferable and independent from, and without prejudice to, the corresponding Obligations and (B) the Dutch Parallel Debt Obligations represent the Agent’s own separate claim to receive payment of the Dutch Parallel Debt Obligations from
the Borrowers, it being understood that the amount that is or may become due and payable by the Borrowers under or pursuant to the Dutch Parallel Debt Obligations from time to time shall never exceed the aggregate amount that is payable under the
Obligations from time to time. 
 (d) For the avoidance of doubt, each of the parties to this Agreement confirms that the claims
of the Agent against the Borrowers in respect of the Dutch Parallel Debt Obligations and the claims of any one or more of the Lender Group and any Bank Product Provider against the Borrowers under or pursuant to the Obligations payable to such
Persons do not constitute common property (een gemeenschap) within the meaning of Section 3:166 of the Dutch Civil Code (“DCC”) and that the provisions relating to such common property shall not apply. If, however, it
would be held that such claims of the Agent and such claims of any one or more of the Lender Group and any Bank Product Provider do constitute such common property and such provisions do apply, the parties to this Agreement agree that this Agreement
shall constitute an administration agreement (beheersregeling) within the meaning of Section 3:168 DCC. 
 (e) For
the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto confirm that this Agreement is not to be construed as an agreement as referred to in Section 6:16 DCC and that Section 6:16 DCC shall not apply. 

(f) To the extent the Agent irrevocably (onaantastbaar) receives any amount in payment of the Dutch Parallel Debt Obligations, the
Agent shall distribute such amount among the Lender Group and any Bank Product Provider in accordance with Section 2.4(b)(ii) (Apportionment and Application) and upon unconditional irrevocable receipt of such amount, the Obligations
shall be reduced by an amount equal to such amount in the manner as if such amount were received as a payment of the Obligations on the date of receipt by the Agent of such amount. 

15.20 German Parallel Debt Provision. 
 (a) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes (and to the extent necessary undertakes in advance) to pay to the Agent amounts equal to any amounts owing from time to time by such
Loan Party to any member of the Lender Group and each Bank Product Provider under this Agreement and any other Loan Document pursuant to any 

  
 119









 
Obligations or pursuant to any Bank Product Obligations (in each case excluding for the avoidance of doubt and in order to avoid double-counting the obligations under any parallel debt provision
set forth in any Loan Document) as and when those amounts are due under any Loan Document (such payment undertakings under this Section 15.20(a) and the obligations and liabilities resulting therefrom being the “German Parallel
Debt”). 
 (b) The Agent shall have its own independent right to demand payment of the German Parallel Debt by the Loan
Parties. Each Loan Party and the Agent acknowledge that the obligations of each Loan Party under Section 15.20(a) are several, separate and independent (selbständiges Schuldanerkenntnis) from, and shall not in any way limit
or affect, the corresponding obligations of each Loan Party to any member of the Lender Group and each Bank Product Provider under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “German Corresponding Debt”) nor shall the amounts for
which each Loan Party are liable under Section 15.20(a) (German Parallel Debt) be limited or affected in any way by its German Corresponding Debt; provided that: 

(i) the German Parallel Debt shall be decreased to the extent that the Corresponding Debt has been irrevocably paid or
discharged (other than, in each case, contingent obligations); 
 (ii) the German Corresponding Debt shall be
decreased to the extent that the Parallel Debt has been irrevocably paid or discharged; 
 (iii) the amount of
the German Parallel Debt shall at all times be equal to the amount of the German Corresponding Debt; and 
 (iv)
for the avoidance of doubt, the German Parallel Debt will become due and payable at the same time when the German Corresponding Debt becomes due and payable. 
 (c) The security granted under any German Security Document with respect to the Parallel Debt is granted to the Agent in its capacity as sole creditor of the German Parallel Debt. 

(d) Without limiting or affecting the Agent’s rights against any Loan Party (whether under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document), each of the Loan Party acknowledges that: 
 (i) Nothing in this Agreement shall impose any obligation
on the Agent to advance any sum to any Loan Party or otherwise under any Loan Document; and 
 (ii) for the
purpose of any vote taken under any Loan Document, the Agent shall not be regarded as having any participation or commitment other that those which it has in its capacity as a Lender. 

  
 120









 (e) The Parties to this Agreement acknowledge and confirm that the provisions contained in
this Agreement shall not be interpreted so as to increase the maximum total amount of the Obligations. 
 (f) The German
Parallel Debt shall remain effective in case a third person should assume or be entitled, partially or in whole, to any rights of any of the Lenders under any of the other Loan Documents, be it by virtue of assignment, novation or otherwise.

 (g) All monies received or recovered by the Agent pursuant to this Agreement and all amounts received or recovered by the
Agent from or by the enforcement of any security granted to secure the German Parallel Debt shall be applied in accordance with this Agreement. 
 15.21 Polish Parallel Debt Provision. 
 (a) Each Loan Party
providing security that is governed by the laws of Poland (“Polish Security Provider”) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes (and to the extent necessary undertakes in advance) to pay to the Agent amounts equal to any
amounts owing from time to time by such Polish Security Provider to any member of the Lender Group under this Agreement and any other Loan Document pursuant to any Obligations or pursuant to any Bank Product Obligations as and when those amounts are
due under any Loan Document (such payment undertakings under this Section 15.22(a) and the obligations and liabilities resulting therefrom being the “Polish Parallel Debt”). 

(b) The Agent shall have its own independent right to demand payment of the Parallel Debt by the Polish Security Provider. Each Polish
Security Provider and the Agent acknowledge that the obligations of each Polish Security Provider under Section 15.22(a) are several, separate and independent from, and shall not in any way limit or affect, the corresponding obligations
of each Polish Security Provider to any member of the Lender Group under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Polish Corresponding Debt”) nor shall the amounts for which each Polish Security Provider are liable under
Section 15.22(a) be limited or affected in any way by its Polish Corresponding Debt; provided that: 

(i) the Polish Parallel Debt shall be decreased to the extent that the Polish Corresponding Debt has been irrevocably paid
or discharged (other than, in each case, contingent obligations); 
 (ii) the Polish Corresponding Debt shall be
decreased to the extent that the Parallel Debt has been irrevocably paid or discharged; 
 (iii) the amount of
the Polish Parallel Debt shall at all times be equal to the amount of the Polish Corresponding Debt; and 
 (iv)
for the avoidance of doubt, the Polish Parallel Debt will become due and payable at the same time when the Polish Corresponding Debt becomes due and payable. 

  
 121









 (c) The security granted under any Security Document governed by Polish law with respect to
the Parallel Debt is granted to the Agent in its capacity as sole creditor of the Polish Parallel Debt. 
 (d) Without limiting
or affecting the Agent’s rights against any Polish Security Provider (whether under this Agreement or any other Loan Document), each of the Polish Security Provider acknowledges that: 

(i) nothing in this Agreement shall impose any obligation on the Agent to advance any sum to any Loan Party or otherwise
under any Loan Document; and 
 (ii) for the purpose of any vote taken under any Loan Document, the Agent shall
not be regarded as having any participation or commitment other that those which it has in its capacity as a Lender. 
 (e) The
Parties to this Agreement acknowledge and confirm that the provisions contained in this Agreement shall not be interpreted so as to increase the maximum total amount of the Obligations. 

(f) The Polish Parallel Debt shall remain effective in case a third person should assume or be entitled, partially or in whole, to any
rights of any of the Lenders under any of the other Loan Documents, be it by virtue of assignment, novation or otherwise. 
 (g)
All monies received or recovered by the Agent pursuant to this Agreement and all amounts received or recovered by the Agent from or by the enforcement of any security granted to secure the Polish Parallel Debt shall be applied in accordance with
this Agreement. 
 16. WITHHOLDING TAXES 
 (a) All payments made by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any note or other Loan Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense. In addition, all such payments
will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future Taxes. In the event any such deduction or withholding of Taxes is required, the applicable Loan Party shall pay the full amount of such Taxes and such
additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document, including any amount paid pursuant to this Section 16(a) after withholding or deduction for or on
account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein; provided, however, that a Loan Party shall not be required to increase any such amounts if the increase in such amount payable results from Agent’s or
such Lender’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence or for breach in bad faith of such Person’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). The applicable Loan
Party will furnish to Agent as promptly as possible after the date the payment of any Tax is due pursuant to applicable Law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment. 

(b) Borrowers shall pay any present or future stamp, value added or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges, or
similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, performance, recordation, or filing of, or otherwise with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

  
 122









 (c) If a Lender or Participant (or, in either case, any assignee thereof) is entitled to
claim an exemption or reduction from United States withholding tax, such Lender or Participant agrees with and in favor of Agent, to deliver to Agent and the Company (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only)
one of the following before receiving its first payment under this Agreement: 
 (i) if a Foreign Lender or
Participant is entitled to claim an exemption from United States withholding tax pursuant to the portfolio interest exception, (A) a statement of the Lender or Participant, signed under penalty of perjury, that it is not a (I) a
“bank” as described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (II) a 10% shareholder of any Borrower (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC), or (III) a controlled foreign corporation related to any Borrower
within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the IRC (a “Portfolio Exemption Statement”), and (B) a properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8IMY (with proper attachments); 

(ii) if a Foreign Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a
United States tax treaty, a properly completed and executed copy of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN; 

(iii) if a Foreign Lender or Participant is entitled to claim that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from
United States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such Lender, a properly completed and executed copy of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI; 

(iv) to the extent that a Foreign Lender or Participant is not the beneficial owner (including, for this purpose, a
foreign partnership), executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, Portfolio Exemption Statement, Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable, in each
case showing a complete exemption or reduction by the beneficial owner from U.S. withholding tax; or 
 (v) a
properly completed and executed copy of any other form or forms, including Internal Revenue Service Form
 W-9, as may be required under the IRC or other Laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States
withholding or backup withholding tax. 
 Each Lender or Participant shall provide new forms (or successor forms) upon the expiration or
obsolescence of any previously delivered forms and promptly notify Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender granting the participation only) of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or
reduction. In addition, any Lender if requested by the Borrowers or Agent shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or Agent as will enable the Borrowers or Agent to determine
whether such Lender is subject to backup or other withholding or other information reporting requirements. 

  
 123









 If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax
imposed by FATCA if such Lender fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Agent and the Company
(A) a certification signed by the chief financial officer, principal accounting officer, treasurer or controller, and (B) other documentation reasonably requested by Agent and the Company sufficient for Agent and the Company to comply with
their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such applicable reporting requirements. 
 (d)
If a Lender or Participant (or, in either case, any assignee thereof) is entitled to claim an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax in a jurisdiction other than the United States, such Lender or such Participant agrees with and in favor
of Agent, to deliver to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) any such form or forms properly completed and executed, as may be required under the Laws of such jurisdiction as a condition to
exemption from, or reduction of, foreign withholding or backup withholding tax before receiving its first payment under this Agreement, but only if such Lender or such Participant is legally able to deliver such forms, provided,
however, that nothing in this Section 16(d) shall require a Lender or Participant to disclose any information (i) that would not otherwise be required by any applicable Law as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of,
the withholding or backup withholding tax under such Law and (ii) that it deems to be confidential (including without limitation, its tax returns). Each Lender and each Participant shall provide new forms (or successor forms) upon the
expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms and promptly notify Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender granting the participation only) of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed
exemption or reduction. In addition, any Lender if requested by the Borrowers or Agent shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or Agent as will enable the Borrowers or Agent to
determine whether such Lender is subject to backup or other withholding or other information reporting requirements. 
 (e)
[Reserved]. 
 (f) If a Lender or Participant claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax and such Lender or
Participant sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of Borrowers to such Lender or Participant, such Lender or Participant agrees to notify Agent (or, in the case of a sale of a participation
interest, to the Lender granting the participation only) of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of Obligations of Borrowers to such Lender or Participant. To the extent of such percentage amount, Agent will treat such
Lender’s or such Participant’s documentation provided pursuant to Section 16(c) or 16(d) as no longer valid. With respect to such percentage amount, such Participant or Assignee may provide new documentation, pursuant to
Section 16(c) or 16(d), if applicable. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of this Section 16 with respect to its participation in any portion of the Commitments and the
Obligations so long as such Participant complies with the obligations set forth in this Section 16 with respect thereto. 

  
 124









 (g) If a Lender or a Participant is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding
tax, Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender granting the participation) may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender or such Participant an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such
reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by Section 16(c) or 16(d) are not delivered to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender granting the participation), then Agent (or, in the case of a Participant,
the Lender granting the participation) may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender or such Participant not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax. 

(h) If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that
Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender granting the participation) did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender or any Participant due to a failure on the part of the Lender or any Participant
(because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Agent (or such Participant failed to notify the Lender granting the participation) of a change in circumstances which rendered the
exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify and hold Agent harmless (or, in the case of a Participant, such Participant shall indemnify and hold the Lender granting the
participation harmless) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, by the Lender granting the participation), as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by
any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, by the Lender granting the participation only) under this Section 16, together with all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses).
The obligation of Lenders and the Participants under this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of Agent. 
 (i) If Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrowers or with respect to which Borrowers have paid
additional amounts pursuant to this Section 16, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, it shall pay over such refund to Borrowers (but only to the extent of payments made, or additional amounts paid, by
Borrowers under this Section 16 with respect to Taxes giving rise to such a refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with
respect to such a refund); provided, that Borrowers, upon the request of Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges, imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority,
other than such penalties, interest or other charges imposed as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Agent hereunder or for breach in bad faith of Agent’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in each
case, as a finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction)) to Agent or such Lender in the event Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, this Section 16 shall not be construed to require Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information which it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

 17. GENERAL PROVISIONS. 

17.1 Effectiveness. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.1(a), this Agreement shall be binding and deemed
effective when executed by each Borrower, Agent, and each Lender whose signature is provided for on the signature pages hereof. 

17.2 Section Headings. Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only. Unless the contrary is
compelled by the context, everything contained in each Section applies equally to this entire Agreement. 
 17.3
Interpretation. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against the Lender Group or any Borrower, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been
reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto. 

17.4 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this
Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision. 
 17.5 Bank Product
Providers. Each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof and of the provisions of the other Loan Documents for purposes of any reference in a Loan Document to the parties for whom Agent is acting. Agent hereby
agrees to act as agent for such Bank Product Providers and, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement, the applicable Bank Product Provider shall be automatically deemed to have appointed Agent as its agent and to have accepted the
benefits of the Loan Documents; it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of each Bank Product Provider under the Loan Documents consist exclusively of such Bank Product Provider’s being a beneficiary of the Liens and security
interests (and, if applicable, guarantees) granted to Agent and the right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral as more fully set forth herein. In addition, each Bank Product Provider, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product
Agreement, shall be automatically deemed to have agreed that Agent shall have the right, but shall have no obligation, to establish, maintain, relax, or release reserves in respect of the Bank Product Obligations and that if reserves are established
there is no obligation on the part of Agent to determine or insure whether the amount of any such reserve is appropriate or not. In connection with any such distribution of payments or proceeds of Collateral, Agent shall be entitled to assume no
amounts are due or owing to any Bank Product Provider unless such Bank Product Provider has provided a written certification (setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation) to Agent as to the amounts that are due and owing to it and such written
certification is received by Agent a reasonable period of time prior to the making of such distribution. Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount due and payable with respect to any Bank Products, but may rely upon the written
certification of the amount due and payable from the relevant Bank Product Provider. In the absence of an updated certification, Agent shall be entitled to assume that the amount due and payable to the relevant Bank Product Provider is the amount
last certified to 

  
 126









 
Agent by such Bank Product Provider as being due and payable (less any distributions made to such Bank Product Provider on account thereof). Any Borrower may obtain Bank Products from any Bank
Product Provider, although no Borrower is required to do so. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Bank Product Provider has committed to provide any Bank Products and that the providing of Bank Products by any Bank Product Provider is in
the sole and absolute discretion of such Bank Product Provider. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no provider or holder of any Bank Product shall have any voting or approval rights hereunder (or
be deemed a Lender) solely by virtue of its status as the provider or holder of such agreements or products or the Obligations owing thereunder, nor shall the consent of any such provider or holder be required (other than in their capacities as
Lenders, to the extent applicable) for any matter hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, including as to any matter relating to the Collateral or the release of Collateral or Guarantors. 

17.6 Debtor-Creditor Relationship. The relationship between Lenders and Agent, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on
the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor. No member of the Lender Group has (or shall be deemed to have) any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with the Loan Documents or the Transactions or
any transactions contemplated thereby, and there is no agency or joint venture relationship between the members of the Lender Group, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, by virtue of any Loan Document or any transaction
contemplated therein. 
 17.7 Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this
Agreement by facsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and
binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis. 
 17.8
Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations. If the incurrence or payment of the Obligations by any Borrower or Guarantor or the transfer to the Lender Group of any property should for any reason subsequently be asserted, or declared, to
be void or voidable under any state or federal Law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Insolvency Act (Canada) relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or
recoverable payments of money or transfers of property (each, a “Voidable Transfer”), and if the Lender Group is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the reasonable
advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that the Lender Group is required or elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees of the Lender Group related
thereto, the liability of Borrowers or Guarantors automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made. 

  
 127









 17.9 Confidentiality. 

(a) Agent and Lenders each individually (and not jointly or jointly and severally) agree that material, non-public information regarding
Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans (“Confidential Information”) shall be treated by Agent and Lenders in a confidential manner, and shall not be disclosed by
Agent and Lenders to Persons who are not parties to this Agreement, except: (i) to attorneys for and other advisors, accountants, auditors, and consultants to any member of the Lender Group and to employees, directors and officers of any member
of the Lender Group (the Persons in this clause (i), “Lender Group Representatives”) on a “need to know” basis in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions or any transactions contemplated hereby and on a
confidential basis, (ii) to Subsidiaries and Affiliates of any member of the Lender Group (including the Bank Product Providers), provided that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate shall have agreed to receive such information hereunder subject to

regulation, (v) as may be agreed to in advance in writing by Borrowers, (vi) as requested or required by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process, provided, that, (x) prior to any disclosure

notice to Borrowers pursuant to the terms of the subpoena or other legal process, (y) any disclosure under this clause (vi) shall be limited to the portion of the Confidential Information as may be required by such Governmental Authority
pursuant to such subpoena or other legal process and (z) this clause (vi) shall not permit disclosure of any information of the kind referred to in section 275(1) of the Australian PPSA unless section 275(7) of the Australian PPSA applies,
(vii) as to any such information that is or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of prohibited disclosure by Agent or Lenders or the Lender Group Representatives and other than with respect to information which is
known to any such Person as having been wrongfully disclosed), (viii) in connection with any assignment, participation or pledge of any Lender’s interest under this Agreement, provided that prior to receipt of Confidential Information any
such assignee, participant, or pledgee shall have agreed in writing to receive such Confidential Information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section, (ix) in connection with any litigation or other adversary proceeding involving parties
hereto which such litigation or adversary proceeding involves claims related to the rights or duties of such parties under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, that, prior to any disclosure to any Person (other than any Loan
Party, Agent, any Lender, any of their respective Affiliates, or their respective counsel) under this clause (ix) with respect to litigation involving any Person (other than any Borrower, Agent, any Lender, any of their respective Affiliates,
or their respective counsel), the disclosing party agrees to provide Borrowers with prior written notice thereof, (x) in connection with, and to the 

  
 128









 
extent reasonably necessary for, the exercise of any secured credit or remedy under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, and (xi) in relation to a security interest for the
purposes of the Australian PPSA, as required to (x) ensure that the security interest is enforceable, perfected and otherwise effective or (y) enable the Agent to apply for any registration, or give notification, in connection with the
security interest so that the security interest has the priority required by the Agent or (z) enable the Agent to exercise its rights in connection with the security interest. 

(b) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Agent may (i) provide information concerning the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to loan syndication and pricing reporting services, and (ii) use the name, logos, and other insignia of Borrowers and Loan Parties and the Commitments provided hereunder in any
“tombstone” or comparable advertising, on its website or in other marketing materials of Agent. 
 17.10 Lender
Group Expenses and Required Term Lenders’ Advisors’ Expenses. Borrowers agree to pay any and all Lender Group Expenses and the Required Term Lenders’ Advisors’ Expenses on the earlier of (a) the first day of each
month or (b) the date on which demand therefor is made by Agent and agrees that its obligations contained in this Section 17.10 shall survive payment or satisfaction in full of all other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, the
obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 17.10 and all other provisions in any of the other Loan Documents with respect to costs and expenses owing by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are subject in all respects to the
limitations set forth in Section 2.14. 
 17.11 Survival. All representations and warranties made by
the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and
shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that Agent, the
Issuing Lender, or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the
principal of or any accrued interest on any loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. 

17.12 Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies Borrowers that
pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to
identify each Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. 
 17.13 Canadian Anti-Money Laundering &
Anti-Terrorism Compliance. The Lenders may be subject to Canadian Anti-Money Laundering & Anti-Terrorism Legislation and “know your customer” rules and regulations, and they hereby notify the Borrowers and Guarantors that
in order to comply with such legislation, rules and regulations, they may be, 

  
 129









 
among other things, required to obtain, verify and record information pertaining to the Borrowers and Guarantors, which information may relate to, among other things, the names, addresses,
corporate directors, corporate registration numbers, corporate tax numbers, corporate shareholders and banking transactions of the Borrowers. The Borrowers hereby agree to take such actions and to provide, upon request, such information and access
to information regarding the Borrowers and Guarantors that is required to enable the Lender to comply with such Canadian Anti-Money Laundering & Anti-Terrorism Legislation and “know your customer” rules and regulations.

 17.14 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, constitutes the entire contract
among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, all Bank Product
Agreements, if any, are independent agreements governed by the written provisions of such Bank Product Agreements, which will remain in full force and effect, unaffected by any repayment, prepayments, acceleration, reduction, increase, or change in
the terms of any credit extended hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided in such Bank Product Agreement. 
 17.15
The Company as Agent for Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for each Borrower for the purposes of each Loan Document, which appointment shall remain in full
force and effect unless and until Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by each Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact. Each Borrower
hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Company (a) to provide Agent with all notices with respect to Advances and Letters of Credit obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement,
and (b) to take such action as the Company deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Advances and Letters of Credit and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It is
understood that the handling of the Loan Account and Collateral in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of Borrowers in the most
efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that Lender Group shall not incur liability to any Borrower as a result hereof. Each Borrower expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the Loan Account and the
Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group. To induce the Lender Group to do so, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby
jointly and severally agrees to indemnify each member of the Lender Group and hold each member of the Lender Group harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against the Lender Group by any Borrower or
by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of (a) the handling of the Loan Account and Collateral of Borrowers as herein provided, or (b) the Lender Group’s relying on any instructions of the Company,
except that Borrowers will have no liability to the relevant Agent-Related Person or Lender-Related Person under this Section 17.15 with respect to any liability that (i) a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines
to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or (ii) result from a claim brought by the Company or any other Loan Party against such Agent-Related Person or Lender-Related Person for breach in bad
faith of such Agent-Related Person’s or Lender-Related Person’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Company or such other Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. 

  
 130









 17.16 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any
court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures Agent could purchase the first
currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall,
notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be
discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal
banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to Agent or any Lender from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower
agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to Agent or
any Lender in such currency, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable Law) 

17.17 Conflicts with other Loan Documents or Financing Orders. In the event there is a conflict or inconsistency between
this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of this Agreement shall control; provided that any provision of the Security Documents which imposes additional burdens on the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or further restricts the
rights of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or gives the Agent or Lenders additional rights, in each case, with respect to the Collateral, shall not be deemed to be in conflict or inconsistent with this Agreement and shall be given full
force and effect. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and the Interim Financing Order (and, when applicable, the Final Financing Order), the provisions of Interim Financing Order
(and, when applicable, the Final Financing Order) shall govern. 
 17.18 Special Provisions Regarding Pledges of Stock and
Promissory Notes in Non-Qualified Jurisdictions. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Agreement and the various Security Documents executed and delivered by the Loan Parties and Pledgors require that, among
other things, certain Stock and promissory notes be pledged pursuant to the Security Documents. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that, to the extent provided in the applicable Security Documents, each Loan Party and each Pledgor
shall be required to take all actions under the laws of each Qualified Jurisdiction or each Pledgor’s jurisdiction of organization to perfect the security interests in the Stock and promissory notes issued by any Person organized under the laws
of such Qualified Jurisdiction or such Pledgor’s jurisdiction of organization to the extent required by the applicable Security Documents or deemed necessary or required by Agent based on advice of local counsel. Except as provided in the
immediately preceding sentence, to the extent any Security Document requires 

  
 131









 
or provides for the pledge of Stock or promissory notes issued by any Person organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than a Qualified Jurisdiction or a Pledgor’s jurisdiction of
organization, it is acknowledged that no actions have been or (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Agent shall deem such actions to be reasonably prudent under the circumstances, in its Permitted Discretion)
shall be required to be taken to perfect, under local law of the jurisdiction of the Person who issued such Stock or promissory notes, under the Security Documents. 
 17.19 Guaranty Limitations. The limitations set forth in Section 9(f) of the Foreign Guaranty shall apply accordingly in respect of any payment obligation of a German Guarantor (as
defined in the Foreign Guaranty) under any Loan Document.
