**NIQ Global Intelligence plc**

**Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)**

(in millions, unless otherwise noted)

**1. ORGANIZATION**

***Organization***

NIQ is a leading global consumer intelligence company positioned at the nexus of brands, retailers and consumers. NIQ manages a comprehensive and integrated ecosystem – The NIQ Ecosystem – which combines proprietary data, best-in-class technology, human intelligence, and highly sophisticated software applications and analytics solutions. NIQ's unified, artificial intelligence powered technology platform aggregates, harmonizes and enriches vast amounts of global consumer shopping data from a myriad of diverse sources, generates rich, proprietary reference data and metadata, and provides a global, omnichannel view of consumer shopping behavior – *The Full View*<sup>TM</sup>.

NIQ was created when funds managed by Advent International, L.P. (formerly known as Advent International Corporation) ("Advent") acquired certain subsidiaries of Nielsen Holdings plc ("Nielsen") on March 5, 2021 ("the Advent Acquisition"). Intermediate Dutch Holdings B.V., a private company with limited liability organized under the laws of the Netherlands ("Dutch Holdings"), formed two subsidiaries: Indy US Holdco, LLC ("US Holdco") and Indy Dutch Bidco B.V. Through its subsidiaries, Dutch Holdings acquired Nielsen Consumer Inc., TNC Europe B.V. and The Nielsen Company (Europe) S.àr.l (the "NIQ subsidiaries") from Nielsen. As a result of the Advent Acquisition, Dutch Holdings became the beneficial owner of the NIQ subsidiaries. Dutch Holdings is an indirect subsidiary of AI PAVE Dutchco I B.V. ("AI PAVE"), and its consolidated subsidiaries, including US Holdco, and the Company's other operating subsidiaries.

On January 21, 2025, AI Global Investments (Netherlands) PCC Limited acquired Flower Road Limited, an Irish private company with limited liability that was incorporated in Ireland on June 6, 2017 as a dormant company. On January 23, 2025, Flower Road Limited was renamed to NIQ Global Intelligence Limited. On June 12, 2025, NIQ Global Intelligence Limited was re-registered under the Irish Companies Act 2014 as a public limited company and was renamed NIQ Global Intelligence plc. On July 22, 2025, in connection with the initial public offering ("IPO") as further discussed below, NIQ Global Intelligence plc became the direct parent of AI PAVE and the indirect parent of other intermediate holding companies, including AI PAVE Dutchco II B.V., AI PAVE Dutchco III B.V. (collectively, with AI PAVE, the "AI PAVE Entities"), and Dutch Holdings (the "Reorganization"). All holders of equity interests in AI PAVE became shareholders of NIQ Global Intelligence plc. The number of ordinary shares authorized increased to 1,500,000,000 and the number of ordinary shares outstanding became 245,000,000.

The "Company" or "NIQ" means, prior to the Reorganization, Dutch Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries and, after the Reorganization, NIQ Global Intelligence plc and its consolidated subsidiaries.

*Initial Public Offering*

On July 24, 2025, the Company completed its IPO, in which the Company sold 50,000,000 ordinary shares at the initial public offering price of $21.00 per share. The Company received aggregate net proceeds of $985.1 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by NIQ Global Intelligence plc. The aggregate net proceeds were used to repay a portion of the Company's outstanding borrowings. See Note 8. "Debt" for further detail on the use of proceeds. In connection with the IPO, the Board of Directors also adopted the NIQ Global Intelligence plc 2025 Equity Incentive Plan. The Company recognized share-based compensation as a result of the accelerated and incremental vesting of certain share-based compensation awards under the 2021 Plan, as triggered by the IPO. See Note 14. "Share-Based Compensation" for further detail.

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

***Basis of Presentation***

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Noncontrolling interests are recorded for entities that are consolidated, but for which NIQ owns less than 100% of the equity interests.

------

Prior to the effects of the Reorganization and IPO, the historical financial statements presented the financial information of Dutch Holdings. Subsequent to the Reorganization and IPO as described above in Note 1. "Organization", the accompanying financial statements have been recast to reflect the consolidated financial statements of NIQ Global Intelligence plc and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Dutch Holdings and the AI PAVE Entities, as a transaction between entities under common control. The recast presentation begins with the financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the first reporting period following the Reorganization and IPO. Prior to the Reorganization, NIQ Global Intelligence plc had no material assets and conducted no operations (other than activities incidental to its formation, the Reorganization and the IPO). Aside from the impact of the Warrant (as further described below), the Company has assessed the impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements of NIQ Global Intelligence plc as a result of the Reorganization to be immaterial.

With the exception of the recast historical financial information noted above, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future annual or interim period.

On July 10, 2023, the Company completed a transaction to combine with GfK SE ("GfK"), a European company (societas Europaea) organized under German law ("the GfK Combination"). Prior to the GfK Combination, GfK entered into an agreement to sell its Consumer Panel business on July 6, 2023. On January 9, 2024, the Company completed the sale. See Note 4. "Discontinued Operations and Disposals" for further information.

In the second and third quarters of 2024, the Company determined that it could no longer exercise control over its subsidiaries in Russia and deconsolidated the operations of these entities. See Note 4. "Discontinued Operations and Disposals" for further information.

The Company entered into an agreement to sell its ownership interest in Netquest, a consumer panel provider acquired through the GfK Combination, on December 17, 2024. The assets and liabilities of the Netquest business were classified as "Held for Sale" at December 31, 2024. On February 3, 2025, the Company completed the sale. See Note 4. "Discontinued Operations and Disposals" for further information.

On July 10, 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the share capital of M-TRIX Tecnologia e Servicos de Marketing S.A. ("M-Trix"), a data intelligence and market analytics company based in Brazil. The transaction closed on August 1, 2025 for total cash consideration of approximately BRL340.0 million (equivalent to approximately $54.6 million USD). See Note 3. "Acquisitions" for further information.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial information to conform to the presentation used in the financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated annual financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 as disclosed in the Company's prospectus, dated July 22, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act on July 24, 2025 in connection with the Company's IPO.

***Warrants***

The Company accounts for warrants to purchase common stock as either liability-classified or equity-classified financial instruments pursuant to the warrant's specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance*.* Warrants classified as liabilities are recognized at fair value and remeasured at fair value each reporting period, with any change in fair value recognized as a component of nonoperating expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For warrants that meet equity classification, the Company records the warrant as a component of paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not recognize any subsequent changes in fair value, as warrants classified as equity are not subject to future remeasurement.

In connection with the Advent Acquisition, VNU International B.V., an affiliate of Nielsen, was issued a warrant to subscribe for up to 184,284 shares of AI PAVE with an exercise price of $1,627.92 per share (the "Warrant"). Prior to the IPO, the Company recognized the Warrant as a liability-classified instrument. Pursuant to its terms and in alignment with the Company's policy to reassess instrument classifications, the Warrant was reclassified to permanent equity upon the IPO. See Note 9. "Fair Value of Financial Instruments" for further detail.

***Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements***

*Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements*

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("the FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, *Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures*, which expands segment disclosure requirements for public entities. This ASU updates the requirements for segment reporting to include, among other things, disclosing significant segment expenses by reportable segment if they are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included in the measure of segment profit and extending nearly all annual segment reporting requirements to quarterly reporting requirements. The standard is effective on a retrospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this ASU for the year ended December 31, 2024. See Note 15. "Reportable Segments" for more information on reportable segments.

------

*Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted*

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, *Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures*, which requires disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid, prescribes standard categories for the components of the effective tax rate reconciliation and modifies other income tax-related disclosures. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on its related disclosures and plans to adopt this ASU for the year ended December 31, 2025.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses*, which requires entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on its related disclosures.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets for Private Companies and Certain Not-for-Profit Entities (PCC), which allows all entities to apply a practical expedient that simplifies the estimation of expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606. This elective guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on its related disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, *Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software,* which clarifies and modernizes the accounting for costs related to internal-use software. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on its related disclosures.

Other recently issued accounting pronouncements are either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

Other than the significant accounting policies described above, there have been no changes to the significant accounting policies described in the Company's audited consolidated annual financial statements and notes thereto presented for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

**3. ACQUISITIONS**

***Acquisition of Gastrograph***

On April 21, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of Analytical Flavor Systems, Inc. (dba Gastrograph AI) ("Gastrograph"), a market-leading discovery and inquiry platform for sensory insights, for cash consideration of $12.5 million (the "Gastrograph Acquisition"), subject to certain working capital adjustments. The Company accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition as substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired was concentrated in Gastrograph's developed technology, which includes applications, models and the underlying database. The Company used the cost accumulation model, whereby the majority of the total acquisition cost, inclusive of direct transaction costs, was allocated to the acquired asset developed technology, which is estimated to have a useful life of three years. The Company believes the Gastrograph Acquisition further strengthens NIQ's artificial intelligence ("AI") capabilities and competitive differentiation to provide consumer packaged goods companies with *The Full View*<sup>TM</sup>*.*

***Acquisition of M-Trix***

On July 10, 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the share capital of M-Trix, a data intelligence and market analytics company based in Brazil. The transaction closed on August 1, 2025 for total cash consideration of approximately BRL340.0 million (equivalent to approximately $54.6 million USD), subject to customary purchase price adjustments, of which BRL150.0 million (equivalent to approximately $27.1 million USD) was paid upon the closing (the "M-Trix Acquisition").

The remaining BRL190.0 million will be paid as follows: (i) BRL60.0 million upon the first anniversary of the closing, (ii) BRL BRL60.0 million upon the second anniversary of the closing, (iii) BRL50.0 million upon the third anniversary of the closing and (iv) BRL20.0 million following the sixth anniversary of the closing, subject to any ongoing claims for which M-Trix is held indemnifiable (the "Holdback Amount"). The Holdback Amount will be subject to adjustment by the Interbank Deposit Certificate of Brazil ("CDI").

In connection with the M-Trix Acquisition, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Banco J.P. Morgan S.A. on July 28, 2025, whereby the Company received BRL150.0 million (equivalent to approximately $27.1 million USD) to finance the transaction (the "BRL Loan"). The BRL Loan was subject to interest at the CDI rate plus a spread of 280 basis points. The Company settled the BRL Loan, including the accrued interest, during the third quarter of 2025.

------

The total fair value of consideration transferred for the acquisition of M-Trix consisted of the following:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **(in millions)** | |
| Cash consideration, net of working capital adjustments | $27.1 |
| Short-term deferred consideration | 9.4 |
| Long-term deferred consideration | 14.5 |
| Holdback Amount | 3.6 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total consideration transferred | $54.6 |

---

The Company will record accretion and interest expense at the prevailing CDI rate each quarter related to the deferred consideration and Holdback Amount, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized accretion and interest of $0.6 million to interest expense, net.

The M-Trix Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase consideration was allocated to the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective acquisition date fair value, with any excess allocated to goodwill. The purchase accounting for the M-Trix acquisition is preliminary and subject to change as the Company finalizes the valuation of intangible assets and obtains additional information during the measurement period.

The following table sets forth the preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration to the respective fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **(in millions)** | |
| Current assets | $2.3 |
| Property and equipment, net | 0.1 |
| Operating lease right-of-use assets | 0.3 |
| Intangible assets | 14.4 |
| Goodwill | 43.5 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total assets acquired | 60.6 |
| Current liabilities | 1.0 |
| Deferred income taxes | 4.9 |
| Operating lease liabilities | 0.1 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total liabilities assumed | 6.0 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total consideration transferred | $54.6 |

---

The resulting goodwill primarily reflects future client relationships and the development of new technologies.

The acquired identifiable intangible assets were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **(in millions)** | **Fair Value** | **Weighted Average Useful Life (in years)** |
| Client relationships | $7.1 | 10 |
| Developed technology | 5.0 | 7 |
| Trademark | 2.3 | 9 |
| Total identifiable intangible assets | $14.4 |  |

---

The fair value estimates for assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on income, market and cost valuation methods using primarily unobservable inputs developed by management, which are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Specifically, the fair values of identified intangible assets were estimated using the following valuation methodologies:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Client relationships – the multi-period excess earnings method

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Developed technology – the relief-from-royalty method

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Trademark – the relief-from-royalty method

Significant inputs used to value the identifiable intangible assets included projected revenues and expected operating margins, client attrition rates, discount rates, royalty rates and applicable income tax rates.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, NIQ incurred $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of costs related to the M-Trix Acquisition, which primarily consisted of advisory, legal and other costs. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

**4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND DISPOSALS**

***Sale of GfK Consumer Panel Business***

On January 9, 2024 (the "Transaction Date"), the Company completed the sale of GfK's Consumer Panel business for cash consideration of €316.6 million (equivalent to approximately $350.0 million USD), subject to final closing adjustments. The Company received proceeds, net of cash disposed, of €278.4 million (equivalent to approximately $301.7 million USD) on the Transaction Date, which were primarily used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Revolver. The Company received an additional €10.0 million (equivalent to approximately $10.9 million USD) during the second quarter of 2024, an additional €3.0 million (equivalent to approximately $3.3 million USD) during the third quarter of 2024, and an additional €10.5 million (equivalent to approximately $10.9 million USD) during the first quarter of 2025, as a result of certain closing adjustments. The Company recognized a gain from the sale in the amount of $12.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, all of which was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The gain from the sale is recorded within discontinued operations.

***Deconsolidation of Russian Entities***

As described in Note 1. "Organization", the evolving regulatory environment in Russia, including economic sanctions from the United States, European Union and other governments as well as a series of local laws issued in Russia, impacted the Company's operations in Russia. As a result, the Company experienced significantly reduced communication with operations in Russia, and the Russian operations disconnected from the Company's central systems. Although the Company continues to be the record holder of the shares in subsidiaries that operate in Russia, these subsidiaries are overseen solely by management within Russia without day-to-day or other supervision by the Company. While those subsidiaries continue to operate independently in Russia, the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the Russia operations. As a result, the Company determined that it no longer exercised control over these entities and deconsolidated its Russia businesses in the second and third quarters of 2024. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 a loss on deconsolidation of $34.9 million and $57.8 million, respectively, was included in nonoperating expense, net, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a gain of $5.2 million was included in nonoperating expense, net related to certain adjustments following the deconsolidation. No adjustment related to the deconsolidation was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

***Sale of Netquest***

On December 17, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its ownership interest in Netquest, a panel provider acquired through the GfK Combination. On February 3, 2025, the Company completed the sale for cash consideration of €58.1 million (equivalent to approximately $60.3 million USD), subject to final closing adjustments. The Company received an additional €5.0 million (equivalent to approximately $5.9 million USD) in May 2025, related to the settlement of escrow. The Company recognized a gain from the sale of $4.9 million, after related transaction costs, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, which is recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses. None of the gain was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Beginning with the December 17, 2024 agreement date, the Netquest business was classified as held for sale. The sale of Netquest did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results, and therefore did not meet the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations. The Netquest business was reported within the EMEA reportable segment prior to the sale.

The assets and liabilities classified as held for sale were recorded at cost, as follows:

Revenues in the United States represented approximately 23% and 24% of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 24% for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. No other individual country's revenues were greater than 10% of total revenues during these periods. Revenues in Ireland, the Company's country of domicile, represented approximately 1% of total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

At the inception of a contract, NIQ generally expects the period between when it transfers its data and services to its clients and when the client pays for such services will be one year or less.

Contract assets represent NIQ's rights to consideration in exchange for services transferred to a client that have not been billed as of the reporting date. While the Company's rights to consideration are generally unconditional at the time its performance obligations are satisfied, under certain circumstances the related billing occurs in arrears. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $184.8 million and $122.8 million, respectively, of contract assets were recorded as a component of trade receivables, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Deferred revenues relate to advance consideration received or the right to consideration that is unconditional from clients for which revenue is recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied and control is transferred to the client. At December 31, 2024, $273.4 million of deferred revenues were recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, of which substantially all was recognized as revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. At September 30, 2025, the balance of deferred revenues was $324.1 million.

Remaining performance obligations include both amounts recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2025 as well as amounts not yet invoiced to clients as of September 30, 2025, largely reflecting future revenue related to signed multi-year arrangements. The Company excludes from its calculation of remaining performance obligations those contracts with a term of less than 12 months or a termination for convenience clause. As of September 30, 2025, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was approximately $1.7 billion. The Company expects to recognize into revenue approximately 19% of this balance within one year, approximately 46% of this balance between one to two years and the remaining amount thereafter.

**8. DEBT**

***Term Loans and Revolver***

The Company, through its subsidiaries, has a credit agreement ("the Credit Agreement"), comprising term loans and a revolving facility (the "Revolver"). In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company is party to the Dutch Security Agreement and has pledged bank receivables and intercompany receivables (each as defined in the Dutch Security Agreement). Prior to January 2025, the term loans comprised 2023 tranches as defined below ("2023 USD Term Loan", "2023 EUR Term Loan" and "2023 Liquidity Term Loan", collectively "2023 Tranches") issued to fund working capital and the GfK Combination and 2021 tranches as defined below ("2021 USD Term Loan" and "2021 EUR Term Loan", collectively "2021 Tranches") issued in connection with the Advent Acquisition (collectively, "2023 and 2021 Term Loans").

The Company also entered into a credit agreement with Banco J.P. Morgan S.A. on July 28, 2025, whereby the Company received BRL150.0 million (equivalent to approximately $27.1 million USD) to finance the M-Trix Acquisition. The Company settled the loan, including the accrued interest, during the third quarter of 2025. See Note 3. "Acquisitions" for further detail.

***2025 Debt Refinancing*** 

On January 24, 2025, the Credit Agreement was amended to consolidate the 2023 Tranches and the 2021 Tranches into a single USD Term Loan ("USD Term Loan") and a single EUR Term Loan ("EUR Term Loan") (the "2025 Debt Refinancing"). The transaction resulted in a $10.3 million loss related to the write-off of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs, along with the expense of $0.3 million in third-party legal fees. The Company recorded the loss in nonoperating income (expense), net. The Canadian dollar tranche ("2021 CAD Term Loan") and Revolver remain unchanged as a result of the 2025 Debt Refinancing. The term loans mature on March 5, 2028 and require quarterly principal payments equal to 0.25% of the original principal. The respective terms of each debt arrangement are further described below.

On July 11, 2025, the Credit Agreement was amended, subject to the closing of the IPO, to, among other things, (i) increase the aggregate principal amount of the Revolver to $750.0 million, (ii) extend the maturity date with respect to Revolver to July 30, 2030; provided that if by a date no later than the Modified Maturity Date (as defined below), any term loans borrowed under the Credit Agreement with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $1.0 billion are outstanding and the maturity date applicable to such term loans is earlier than the date that is 90 days after July 30, 2030 (the "Trigger Maturity Date"), such maturity date shall be the date that is 91 days prior to the Trigger Maturity Date (the "Modified Maturity Date"), (iii) reduce the interest rate spread with respect to the revolving facility to a spread of 225 to 275 basis points dependent on certain ratio levels and (iv) reduce the commitment fee rate with respect to the revolving facility to 25 to 37.5 basis points dependent on certain ratio levels. On July 24, 2025, as part of the IPO discussed in Note 1. "Organization", the Company used approximately $533.4 million of the net proceeds from the IPO to repay all outstanding principal amounts under the Revolver.

On August 12, 2025, the Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things, (a) refinance and replace the existing USD Term Loan with a new USD term loan facility with a reduced interest rate spread of 225 to 250 basis points dependent on certain ratio levels, (b) refinance and replace the existing EUR Term Loan with a new EUR term loan facility with a reduced interest rate spread of 275 to 300 basis points dependent on certain ratio levels, (c) extend the maturity date with respect to the USD and EUR term loan facilities to October 31, 2030 and (d) reduce the interest rate spread with respect to the Revolver to a spread of 175 to 225 basis points dependent on certain ratio levels. Additionally, the Company used approximately $387.4 million of the net proceeds from the IPO to repay in full the 2021 CAD Term Loan in the amount of C$122.6 million (approximately $89.0 million USD) and to repay €255.0 million (approximately $298.4 million USD) of the EUR Term Loan, including accrued interest of $2.8 million USD and accrued interest on the USD Term Loan of $5.7 million.

On March 5, 2021, the 2021 CAD Term Loan was issued in the aggregate principal amount of C$128.0 million (equivalent to approximately $100.0 million USD). The 2021 CAD Term Loan was issued at a price of 99.5% of the aggregate principal amount, which resulted in a discount related to underwriting fees of C$0.6 million (equivalent to approximately $0.5 million USD). From the commencement date through November 29, 2021, the 2021 CAD Term Loan was subject to interest at Canadian Dollar Offered Rate ("CDOR") plus a spread of 450 to 475 basis points dependent on certain ratio levels.

On November 30, 2021, the Credit Agreement was amended to reduce the interest rate spread to a range of 400 to 425 basis points dependent on certain ratio levels. On June 28, 2024, the Credit Agreement was amended to replace CDOR with term Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average.

At December 31, 2024, the interest rate for the 2021 CAD Term Loan was approximately 7.9%.

On August 12, 2025, the Credit Agreement was amended to use net proceeds from the IPO to repay in full the 2021 CAD Term Loan in the amount of C$122.6 million (approximately $89.0 million USD).

*Revolver*

On March 5, 2021, the Company entered into a revolving facility. The maximum borrowing capacity was $350.0 million at the commencement of the facility, with the capacity being increased through subsequent amendments to the Credit Agreement. At the commencement of the Credit Agreement, the Revolver had a maturity date of March 5, 2026. On June 28, 2024, the Credit Agreement was amended to extend the maturity date of the Revolver to March 5, 2028. At September 30, 2025, the maximum borrowing capacity and available borrowing capacity under the Revolver was $750.0 million due to no outstanding borrowings as of the reported date. At December 31, 2024, the maximum borrowing capacity under the Revolver was $638.3 million with an available borrowing capacity under the Revolver of $274.3 million due to outstanding proceeds as of the reported date.

The commitment fee is 25 to 50 basis points dependent on certain ratio levels. Borrowings are subject to an interest rate spread of 325 to 375 basis points dependent on certain ratio levels. On August 31, 2022, the Credit Agreement was amended to replace LIBOR with term SOFR for borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars.

At December 31, 2024, the weighted-average interest rate for borrowings under the Revolver was approximately 8.1%.

On July 11, 2025, the Credit Agreement was amended, subject to the closing of the IPO, to, among other things, (i) increase the aggregate principal amount of the Revolver to $750.0 million, (ii) extend the maturity date with respect to Revolver to July 30, 2030; provided that if by a date no later than the Modified Maturity Date (as defined below), any term loans borrowed under the Credit Agreement with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $1.0 billion are outstanding and the maturity date applicable to such term loans is earlier than the date that is 90 days after July 30, 2030 (the "Trigger Maturity Date"), such maturity date shall be the date that is 91 days prior to the Trigger Maturity Date (the "Modified Maturity Date"), (iii) reduce the interest rate spread with respect to the revolving facility to a spread of 225 to 275 basis points dependent on certain ratio levels and (iv) reduce the commitment fee rate with respect to the revolving facility to 25 to 37.5 basis points dependent on certain ratio levels. On July 24, 2025, the Company used approximately $533.4 million of the net proceeds from the IPO to repay all outstanding principal amounts under the Revolver.

------

On August 12, 2025, the Credit Agreement was amended to reduce the interest rate spread with respect to the Revolver to a spread of 175 to 225 basis points dependent on certain ratio levels.

*Covenant Compliance*

The Credit Agreement contains various restrictive covenants that, among other things, impose limitations on: (i) the incurrence of additional indebtedness; (ii) creation of liens; (iii) dividend payments or certain other restricted payments or investments and (iv) mergers, consolidations or sales. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain a certain ratio of Consolidated First Lien Debt to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) if outstanding indebtedness exceeds a certain level. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires mandatory prepayments of the term loans if the Company's excess cash flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement) exceeds a certain level.

The Company was in compliance with all relevant covenants contained in the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2025.

*Maturity Profile*

---

***Debt Issuance Costs***

The Company capitalizes costs associated with the issuance of debt, and such costs are amortized over the term of the respective debt instrument. The Company incurred costs associated with executing amendments related to the term loans and Revolver of $13.5 million and $16.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The Company incurred costs of $6.0 million and $7.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the Company's term loans totaled $43.3 million and $53.8 million, respectively, and were presented as a reduction of debt in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the Revolver totaled $7.0 million and $9.1 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

***Other Financing Obligations***

The Company has a program in which trade receivable are sold to third parties. The available capacity under the program is €270.0 million (equivalent to approximately $316.9 million USD as of September 30, 2025), with the underlying transactions accounted for as true sales, without recourse. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $166.6 million and $146.6 million, respectively, of previously sold receivables remained outstanding. The Company recorded costs associated with the factoring program in nonoperating expense, net, primarily representing administrative and financing costs which totaled $2.8 million and $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $8.5 million and $11.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company recorded a liability for its financing obligation under the program of $48.7 million and $47.0 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The proceeds from the sales are reported as operating activities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and totaled $1,045.1 million and $1,023.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**9. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS**

The Company's financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivable, accounts payable, outstanding indebtedness, derivative instruments and benefit plan assets. The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments, except for outstanding indebtedness and derivative instruments as further discussed below.

------

The inputs used in the determination of fair values are categorized according to the fair value hierarchy as being Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset or liability. In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.

***Investments***

The Company has investments in equity securities that are considered strategically and operationally important to its business. These investments are accounted for under the equity method where the Company has the ability to significantly influence the operations of the entity. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, equity method investments were $66.9 million and $58.1 million, respectively, and are included in other noncurrent assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were trade receivables of $16.5 million and $11.8 million, respectively, and trade payables of $2.4 million and $4.5 million, respectively, related to transactions with the Company's largest equity method investment.

Equity securities without a readily determinable fair value are recorded at cost less any impairment. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company held $45.2 million and $44.8 million, respectively, of investments in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value. These amounts represent investments in entities where the Company does not have the ability to significantly influence the operations of the entity and are presented as other noncurrent assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company assessed the investments for indicators of impairment and concluded no such indicators exist.

***Debt Instruments***

The fair value of the Company's debt instruments is measured using observable market information which would be considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The following table sets forth the carrying value and fair value amounts of the Company's term loans:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **September 30, 2025** | **September 30, 2025** | **December 31, 2024** | **December 31, 2024** |
| **(in millions)** | **Carrying Value** | **Fair Value** | **Carrying Value** | **Fair Value** |
| Term Loans<sup>(1)(2)</sup> | $3590.7 | $3594.0 | $3786.7 | $3798.6 |

---

<sup>(1)</sup> The carrying value of the term loans is presented on a gross basis and excludes unamortized debt discounts.

<sup>(2)</sup> The reported carrying values of other debt instruments approximate their fair values.

***Derivative Instruments***

The Company is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk on floating-rate debt under its Credit Agreement and periodically uses interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and interest rate collars to hedge this exposure. The Company is also exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency under its Credit Agreement as certain debt obligations are denominated in a currency other than an entity's functional currency. The Company uses cross-currency swaps as a hedge of both the foreign currency and interest rate exposures. The interest rate derivative instruments and cross-currency swaps have expiration dates through February 2026 and July 2028, respectively, and are designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

The Company also uses cross-currency swaps to hedge foreign currency risk of its net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries. These cross-currency swaps have expiration dates through February 2026 and are designated as net investment hedges for accounting purposes.

The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to minimize the effect of fluctuating foreign-currency denominated accounts on its earnings, which are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. As such, gains and losses from changes in fair value are recorded directly to earnings. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a loss of $10.6 million and a gain of $5.6 million, respectively, in foreign currency exchange (loss) gain, net on the Company's foreign exchange contracts. In December 2024, the Company settled its outstanding foreign exchange contracts prior to the expiration of their contractual maturities. In April 2025, the Company entered into new foreign exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes, with the exception of its euro currency hedges, which are not fully designated as hedges for accounting purposes. For the euro currency hedges, the Company recognized a gain of $3.3 million and a loss of $1.4 million in foreign currency exchange (loss) gain, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The foreign exchange forward contracts have expiration dates through November 2026.

For derivatives designated as hedges for accounting purposes, the Company reports the after-tax gain or loss from the effective portion of the hedge as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income and reclassifies it into earnings in the same period or periods in which the hedged transaction affects earnings and within the same income statement line item as the impact of the hedged transaction.

------

The Company regularly monitors the creditworthiness of its counterparties to ensure no issues exist that could affect the value of its derivatives. Since the counterparties to derivative instruments have investment-grade credit ratings, the Company considers the counterparty risk to be remote.

In November 2023 and July 2024, the Company settled outstanding interest rate derivative contracts and outstanding cross-currency swaps prior to the expiration of their contractual maturities through March 2025 and February 2026, respectively. As these settled contracts were designated as hedges, the associated gains are a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income and will be reclassified into earnings as the original hedged transaction affects earnings. The Company reclassified gains of $0.5 million and $9.0 million into earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and gains of $10.2 million and $26.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The following table sets forth the fair value amounts of derivatives presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements:

|  | $11.2 | $105.5 | $11.2 | $20.7 |

---

The fair value of derivative instruments is measured using observable market information. These inputs would be considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. While all of the Company's derivative instruments are subject to master netting arrangements with its counterparties, assets and liabilities related to these contracts are presented on a gross basis within the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

***Warrant***

Prior to the Reorganization, the Company's Warrant was held by AI PAVE, an entity that was not previously consolidated in Dutch Holdings' financial statements. As part of the Reorganization, NIQ Global Intelligence plc retrospectively recast its historical financial statements to present the consolidated results of Dutch Holdings and the AI PAVE Entities on a combined consolidated basis with those of NIQ Global Intelligence plc. See Note 2. "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further detail.

At initial recognition, the Warrant was recorded at fair value and classified as a liability due to a contingent repurchase feature triggered by a change of control event, including an IPO. The liability was remeasured at each reporting date using the Black-Scholes valuation model, with changes in the fair value recorded as a component of nonoperating expense, net. The valuation incorporated unobservable inputs, qualifying the Warrant as a Level 3 instrument under the fair value hierarchy.

Upon the IPO, the Warrant converted to represent the right to subscribe for up to 17,725,122 ordinary shares of NIQ Global Intelligence plc at an exercise price of $16.93 per share, and the contingent repurchase obligation ceased pursuant to the terms of the Warrant. Consequently, the Warrant was reclassified from a liability to permanent equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at a fair value of $231.1 million. As the Warrant is no longer subject to remeasurement, future changes in fair value will not be recognized.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the liability-classified Warrant prior to reclassification to equity:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended September 30,** | **Three Months Ended September 30,** | **Nine Months Ended September 30,** | **Nine Months Ended September 30,** |
| **(in millions)** | **2025** | **2024** | **2025** | **2024** |
| Balance at beginning of period | $226.0 | $163.5 | $191.4 | $116.2 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Change in fair value | 5.1 | 18.3 | 39.7 | 65.6 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reclassification to equity | (231.1) |  | (231.1) |  |
| Balance at end of period | $— | $181.8 | $— | $181.8 |

---

The level 3 fair value inputs used in the valuation of the liability-classified Warrant were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **July 24, 2025 <br>(date of IPO)** | **December 31, 2024** |
| Volatility | 32.4% | 31.5% |
| Risk-free rate | 4.7% | 4.8% |
| Discount for lack of marketability | —% | 7.5% |
| Term (in years) | 15.6 | 16.2 |

---

**10. EARNINGS PER SHARE**

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss from continuing operations attributable to NIQ by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential weighted-average dilutive ordinary stock equivalents, which consist of the Company's Warrant, Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") and phantom awards ("the Phantom Awards"), using the treasury stock method. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no potentially dilutive shares, as the inclusion of such instruments would have been antidilutive (i.e., would have increased income per share or decreased loss per share). Accordingly, they are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation.

Prior to the Reorganization, NIQ Global Intelligence plc had 100 ordinary shares outstanding. Following the Reorganization (and prior to the IPO), NIQ Global Intelligence plc had 245,000,000 ordinary shares outstanding, resulting in an effective share split of 1:2,450,000. For purposes of calculating loss per share, the effective share split has been applied retrospectively as though the Reorganization had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented, reflecting the common control relationship among the entities involved.

**11. INCOME TAXES**

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company's effective tax rate was (21)% and (10)%, respectively. The change in the Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by a reduction in the pre-tax book loss and changes in jurisdictional earnings.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the effective tax rate was (35)% and (15)%, respectively. The change in NIQ's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by a reduction in the pre-tax book loss and changes in jurisdictional earnings.

On July 4, 2025, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (the "OBBBA") was signed into law. The OBBBA includes changes to U.S. federal tax law, including expanded bonus depreciation for qualified production property, introduction of new limitations on interest deductibility and modifications to international tax provisions, including global intangible low-tax income and base erosion and anti-abuse regimes. The Company has evaluated the impact of the OBBBA on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and determined there is no material impact.

---

Service cost is reported as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. The other components of net periodic pension cost totaling net benefits of $1.2 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $3.4 million and $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, were presented as a component of nonoperating expense, net.

**14. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION**

During the third quarter of 2025, the Company recognized a cumulative catch-up of share-based compensation expense primarily driven by the completion of its IPO and the satisfaction of certain conditions associated with RSUs and the Phantom Awards agreements. This adjustment reflects the recognition of previously unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to awards that became probable of vesting upon meeting the specified criteria.

The Company incurred total share-based compensation expense of $50.5 million and $1.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $53.3 million and $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses for such periods.

Of the shared-based compensation recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, approximately $42.2 million represents the cumulative catch-up adjustment, inclusive of approximately $18.1 million affiliated with the Phantom Awards. The Phantom Awards may be settled in cash or shares of the Company's common stock beginning on the second anniversary of the IPO and thereafter as such awards vest in accordance with their terms. The Company remeasures the associated liability of the Phantom Awards at fair value at each reporting period until settlement and periodically reassesses the classification of the awards based on changes in facts and circumstances.

**15. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS**

The Company operates through three reportable segments: (1) Americas, which includes North America and Latin America; (2) EMEA, which includes Europe, the Middle East and Africa and (3) APAC, which includes Asia and the western Pacific region. Each segment provides similar services through the Company's Intelligence and Activation offerings but to different geographic regions across the world.

The Company's chief operating decision maker (the "CODM") is the chief executive officer of the Company. The CODM evaluates performance based on revenues and the profit measure of Adjusted EBITDA, on both a consolidated and a segment basis. The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA as the profit measure because it eliminates the impact of certain items that are not considered indicative of the core operations of the Company's business, which is useful to compare operating results between periods. The Company's executive management team also uses Adjusted EBITDA as a compensation measure under the incentive compensation plans. Adjusted EBITDA is also a measure frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies similar to NIQ. The CODM does not evaluate performance or allocate resources based on segment asset data and therefore total segment assets are not presented.

The Company incurs corporate costs related to centralized support functions, including those related to technology, treasury, tax, legal and other centralized functions. Corporate expenses not directly identifiable with a reportable segment are reported below to reconcile the reportable segments to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The following table sets forth revenue, significant segment expenses regularly provided to the CODM and Adjusted EBITDA by reportable segment for the periods presented:

**17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

From time to time, the Company is subject to litigation and other claims in the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2025, the Company does not believe there is a reasonable possibility that any material loss exceeding the amounts already recognized for such legal matters has been incurred. However, the ultimate resolutions of these legal matters are inherently unpredictable. As such, the Company's financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these legal matters. Further, there can be no assurance that future litigation to which the Company becomes a party will not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

**<u>Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations</u>**

*The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto. In addition to historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risk and uncertainties described under "Risk Factors" in our prospectus, dated July 22, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act on July 24, 2025 (the "Prospectus") in connection with the Company's IPO. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in our Prospectus.* 

*Percentages may not recompute due to rounding, and percentage changes that are not meaningful are presented as "n/m".* 

**Company Overview** 

We are a leading global consumer intelligence company positioned at the nexus of brands, retailers and consumers. We manage a comprehensive and integrated ecosystem – *The NIQ Ecosystem* – which combines proprietary data, best-in-class technology, human intelligence and highly sophisticated software applications and analytics solutions. Our unified, AI-powered technology platform aggregates, harmonizes and enriches vast amounts of global consumer shopping data from a myriad of diverse sources, generates rich, proprietary reference data and metadata, and provides a global, omnichannel view of consumer shopping behavior – *The Full View*<sup>TM</sup>. Leveraging our strong NIQ brand, long-term client relationships, global scale, proprietary technology and extensive data and insights, we are positioned as a global leader in measuring, analyzing, and predicting consumer behavior in the fast moving consumer goods, technology and durables and other verticals in which we operate. We believe our solutions, mission-critical insights, analytics and software applications are deeply embedded across our clients' enterprise supporting their strategic and operational decisions, enabling them to measure performance, maintain and strengthen their market positions and drive innovation and profitable growth.

We operate our business through three reportable segments: (1) Americas, which includes North America and Latin America; (2) EMEA, which includes Europe, the Middle East and Africa; and (3) APAC, which includes Asia and the western Pacific region. We generate revenue from solutions in two product groupings: (i) Intelligence (Consumer Measurement) and (ii) Activation (Consumer Analytics). Intelligence solutions include a combination of our retail measurement, consumer behavior and insights and retailer solutions, which are utilized by both consumer brands and retailer clients. Activation solutions include customized analytics and predictive models to improve decision making around product, pricing, marketing and supply chain. We typically initiate client relationships through one of our core Intelligence solutions which we typically sell under multi-year or annual subscription contracts granting clients access to our core software and data solutions. Our Intelligence solutions accounted for approximately 81% and 82% of our revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. Our Intelligence subscription revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 came from multi-year or annual subscription-based contracts and had a net dollar retention rate of 105%. These subscription-based contracts typically contain built-in, annual, price and product enhancement escalators. With the enhancements of our data coverage, product innovation and AI-powered technology platform, we believe that we have been able to consistently increase client satisfaction and execution on our value-based pricing strategy. Individual contract values vary based on the number of countries and modules desired, such as the number of eCommerce or omnichannel reads that the client elects to purchase at the time of initial contracting or thereafter during the contract term.

***Recent Developments***

*Reorganization*

On July 22, 2025, the Reorganization was completed, whereby NIQ Global Intelligence plc became the direct parent of AI PAVE and the indirect parent of other intermediate holding companies, including Dutch Holdings. All holders of equity interests in AI PAVE became shareholders of NIQ Global Intelligence plc.

The "Company," "NIQ," "we," "us," and "our" means, prior to the Reorganization, Dutch Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries and, after the Reorganization, NIQ Global Intelligence plc and its consolidated subsidiaries. See Note 1. "Organization" in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

*Initial Public Offering*

On July 24, 2025, we completed our IPO, in which we issued and sold 50,000,000 ordinary shares at the initial public offering price of $21.00 per share. We received aggregate net proceeds of $985.1 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. The aggregate net proceeds were used to repay a portion of the Company's outstanding borrowings. See Note 1. "Organization" and Note 8. "Debt" in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

------

*Revolver and Term Loan Refinancing*

On July 11, 2025, the Credit Agreement was amended, subject to the closing of the IPO, to, among other things, (i) increase the aggregate principal amount of the Revolver to $750.0 million, (ii) extend the maturity date with respect to the Revolver to July 30, 2030; provided that if by a date no later than the Modified Maturity Date (as defined below), any term loans borrowed under the Credit Agreement with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $1.0 billion are outstanding and the maturity date applicable to such term loans is earlier than the date that is 90 days after July 30, 2030 (the "Trigger Maturity Date"), such maturity date shall be the date that is 91 days prior to the Trigger Maturity Date (the "Modified Maturity Date"), (iii) reduce the interest rate spread with respect to the revolving facility to a spread of 225 to 275 basis points dependent on certain ratio levels and (iv) reduce the commitment fee rate with respect to the Revolver to 25 to 37.5 basis points dependent on certain ratio levels.

On August 12, 2025, the Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things, (a) refinance and replace the existing USD Term Loan with a new USD term loan facility with a reduced interest rate spread of 225 to 250 basis points dependent on certain ratio levels, (b) refinance and replace the existing EUR Term Loan with a new EUR term loan facility with a reduced interest rate spread of 275 to 300 basis points dependent on certain ratio levels, (c) extend the maturity date with respect to the USD and EUR term loan facilities to October 31, 2030 and (d) reduce the interest rate spread with respect to the Revolver to a spread of 175 to 225 basis points dependent on certain ratio levels. See Note 8. "Debt" in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

*Gastrograph Acquisition*

On April 21, 2025, we completed the Gastrograph Acquisition for cash consideration of $12.5 million, subject to certain working capital adjustments. We accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition as substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired was concentrated in Gastrograph's developed technology, which includes applications, models and the underlying database. We believe the Gastrograph Acquisition further strengthens our AI capabilities and competitive differentiation to provide consumer packaged goods companies with *The Full View*<sup>TM</sup>*.*

*Acquisition of M-Trix*

On July 10, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the share capital of M-Trix, a data intelligence and market analytics company based in Brazil. The transaction closed on August 1, 2025 for total cash consideration of approximately BRL340.0 million (equivalent to approximately $54.6 million USD), subject to customary purchase price adjustments, of which only BRL150.0 million (equivalent to approximately $27.1 million USD) was paid upon the closing.

The remaining BRL190.0 million will be paid as follows: (i) BRL60.0 million upon the first anniversary of the closing, (ii) BRL BRL60.0 million upon the second anniversary of the closing, (iii) BRL50.0 million upon the third anniversary of the closing, and (iv) BRL20.0 million following the sixth anniversary of the closing, subject to any ongoing claims for which M-Trix is held indemnifiable. Only the Holdback Amount will be subject to adjustment by the CDI.

In connection with the acquisition of M-Trix, we entered into a credit agreement with Banco J.P. Morgan S.A. on July 28, 2025, whereby we received BRL150.0 million (equivalent to approximately $27.1 million USD) to finance the transaction. The BRL Loan is subject to interest at the CDI rate plus a spread of 280 basis points. We settled the BRL Loan, including the accrued interest, during the third quarter of 2025.

We believe the acquisition will expand our presence in Latin America and allow for enhancements to our existing offerings. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method. See Note 3. "Acquisitions" in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

**Factors Affecting Results of Operations** 

The following factors, among others described herein, have been important to our business, and we expect them to continue to impact our results of operations and financial condition in future periods:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Deconsolidation of Russian Entities.*** We have undertaken measures designed to limit the provision of services or support to Russian subsidiaries and the receiving or sending of any financial or other information to or from our Russian subsidiaries. Also, we have taken measures to stop the collection or sending of funds to or from Russia. While we continue to hold shares in our operational Russian subsidiaries, these entities are locally managed and act autonomously and are overseen solely by management within Russia without day-to-day or other supervision by us. We also do not have any non-Russian directors at the Russian subsidiaries level and have ceased to exert any control over such operations or receive any financial or other benefit therefrom.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Sale of Netquest.*** On December 17, 2024, we entered into an agreement to sell our ownership interest in Netquest, a provider of panels primarily located in Europe acquired through the GfK Combination. On February 3, 2025, we completed the sale for cash consideration of €58.1 million (equivalent to approximately $60.3 million USD), subject to final closing adjustments. The proceeds were primarily used to repay outstanding borrowings on the Revolver. See Note 4. "Discontinued Operations and Disposals" in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Debt Refinancing*.** On January 24, 2025, the Credit Agreement was amended to reduce the interest rate spreads on the USD Term Loan and EUR Term Loan to 350 basis points. We expect that this repricing will generate approximately $62.0 million of annual interest expense savings. Additionally, on July 11, 2025, the Credit Agreement was further amended to reduce the interest rate spread with respect to the revolving facility to a spread of 225 to 275 basis points. Subsequently, on August 12, 2025, the Credit Agreement was amended to (a) refinance and replace the existing USD Term Loan with a new USD term loan facility with a reduced interest rate spread of 225 to 250 basis points, (b) refinance and replace the existing EUR Term Loan with a new EUR term loan facility with a reduced interest rate spread of 275 to 300 basis points, and (c) reduce the interest rate spread with respect to the Revolver to a spread of 175 to 225 basis points. We expect that these combined amendments will generate approximately $100.0 million of annual interest expense savings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Gastrograph Acquisition.*** On April 21, 2025, we completed the Gastrograph Acquisition for cash consideration of $12.5 million, subject to certain working capital adjustments. We accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition as substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired was concentrated in Gastrograph's developed technology, which includes applications, models and the underlying database. We believe the Gastrograph Acquisition further strengthens NIQ's AI capabilities and competitive differentiation to provide consumer packaged goods companies with *The Full View*<sup>TM</sup>*.* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Acquisition of M-Trix.*** On July 10, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the share capital of M-Trix, a data intelligence and market analytics company based in Brazil. The transaction closed on August 1, 2025 for total cash consideration of approximately BRL340.0 million (equivalent to approximately $54.6 million USD), subject to customary purchase price adjustments, of which only BRL150.0 million (equivalent to approximately $27.1 million USD) was paid upon the closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Initial Public Offering.*** During the third quarter of 2025, we recognized a cumulative catch-up expense of approximately $42.2 million for share-based compensation, inclusive of approximately $18.1 million affiliated with Phantom Awards which are cash-settled awards that were granted by Advent to certain NIQ employees upon the Advent Acquisition. This was primarily driven by the completion of the Company's IPO and the satisfaction of certain conditions associated with RSUs and Phantom Awards agreements.

------

Outside of the factors described above, the Factors Affecting Results of Operations have remained materially unchanged from those events disclosed as of June 30, 2025 in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

**Key Performance Metrics**

We monitor the following key operating and financial metrics to help us evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, prepare financial projections and make strategic decisions:

*Intelligence Subscription Revenue* 

*Subscription Revenue* is defined as *Annualized Revenue* from subscription services associated with annual and multi-year contracts, and renewal licensing services within our Intelligence solutions; it excludes contracts and products, that are short-term in nature, which we define to mean less than 12 months in duration.

*Annualized Revenue* is defined as average annualized monthly contract value revenue over the trailing twelve months. Newly acquired client revenue is calculated by (i) annualizing the first month with positive contract value, then (ii) annualizing the monthly average contract value between the second month and eleventh month with positive contract value, and then (iii) annualizing the average contract value across the trailing twelve months. Subscription Revenue and related metrics reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 includes the annualized revenue. *Annualized Revenue* is not a forecast and the active contracts at the end of a reporting period used in calculating *Annualized Revenue* may or may not be extended or renewed by our clients.

*Intelligence Revenue* is defined as revenue generated from our Intelligence solutions, and *Intelligence Subscription Revenue* represents the underlying performance of our Intelligence subscription-based contracts. We believe *Intelligence Subscription Revenue* is useful to investors as a key indicator of the trajectory of our Intelligence Solutions performance. *Intelligence Subscription Revenue growth* is calculated at constant currency using consistent foreign exchange rates for the applicable periods presented. The following table summarizes our Annualized Intelligence Subscription Revenue for the periods presented:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Nine Months Ended September 30,** | **Nine Months Ended September 30,** | **Nine Months Ended September 30,** | **Nine Months Ended September 30,** |
| **(in millions)** | **2025** | **2025** | **2024** | **2024** |
| Intelligence Subscription Revenue | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$| 2798 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$| 2646 |
| Intelligence Subscription Revenue Growth (%) | 6.6% | 6.6% | 6.7% | 6.7% |

---

*Net Dollar Retention ("NDR")* 

NDR represents the amount of *Annualized Revenue* that we generate from our existing clients. To compute NDR for any period, we compare the *Annualized Revenue* for *Intelligence Revenue* or for *Intelligence Subscription Revenue* at the end of the prior year comparable quarter ("beginning of period Annualized Revenue") to the *Annualized Revenue* from that same cohort of clients at the end of the current quarter ("retained Annualized Revenue"); we then divide the retained *Annualized Revenue* by the beginning of period *Annualized Revenue* to arrive at the NDR. The calculation includes the positive impact within the same cohort of clients of selling additional products, cross-selling products, price increases and the impact of clients who have returned after a short period in which they did not purchase our solutions. The calculation does not include the impact of revenue increases from acquiring new clients (whether from the ordinary course of business or acquisitions) during the period and is calculated at constant currency using consistent foreign exchange rates for the applicable periods presented. NDR is used by our management as an indicator of our ability to retain and grow revenue from our existing clients, as well as the stability of our revenue and as such, we believe it can be useful for investors in evaluating the strength of our business.

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Nine Months Ended September 30,** | **Nine Months Ended September 30,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| NDR for Intelligence Subscription Revenue | 105% | 105% |

---

------

*Gross Dollar Retention ("GDR")* 

GDR represents the amount of prior period *Annualized Revenue* we have retained in the current period from existing clients. We compute GDR by comparing the *Annualized Revenue* (for *Intelligence Revenue* or for *Intelligence Subscription Revenue*) from the prior year comparable quarter ("base Annualized Revenue") to the *Annualized Revenue* from the same cohort of clients in the current comparable quarter, excluding the benefit of enhancements from any net upsell or pricing increases or the impact of clients who have returned after a short period in which they did not purchase our solutions ("retained Annualized Revenue"). We then divide the retained Annualized Revenue by the base Annualized Revenue. The calculation reflects only client losses and does not reflect client expansion or contraction, or revenue from new clients (whether from the ordinary course of business or acquisitions) and is calculated at constant currency using consistent foreign exchange rates for the applicable periods presented. GDR is used by our management as an indicator of value that our solutions provide to our clients as represented by our ability to retain our existing client base and as such, we believe it can be useful for investors in evaluating the strength of our business.

**Components of Results of Operations** 

***Revenues***

We report revenue according to three reportable segments: Americas, EMEA and APAC. Within these segments, we generate revenue from solutions in two product groupings: (i) Intelligence and (ii) Activation. Intelligence solutions include sales of retail omnichannel measurement, consumer panel, eCommerce and other data. Activation solutions include sales of customized analytics research and predictive models to improve decisions around product innovation, pricing, marketing and supply chain.

***Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation and amortization)***

Cost of revenues primarily include data acquisition costs, cloud costs, software and hardware maintenance costs and personnel related costs associated with these functions. Cost of revenues also includes cooperation arrangements, which are supply arrangements where we obtain data (i.e. point of sale data) from third-party vendors. These are typically annual multi-year contracts and fixed price in nature (as further described in Note 5. "Revenue" of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.)

***Selling, general and administrative expenses***

Selling, general, and administrative expenses primarily include personnel-related costs, costs for professional and consultancy services, and occupancy costs.

***Depreciation and amortization***

Depreciation and amortization primarily includes amortization of internally developed software and acquired intangibles, which relate to computer software, client relationships, retail partnerships and trade names and trademarks. Depreciation primarily relates to buildings and leasehold improvements, as well as information and communication equipment.

***Impairment of long-lived assets***

Impairment of long-lived assets includes impairment charges related to operating lease right-of-use assets, property, plant and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets.

***Restructuring charges***

Restructuring charges include programs pursuant to which we realign operations to improve effectiveness and efficiency, such as reducing headcount and consolidation of operations. Restructuring charges primarily related to severance costs related to employee separation packages, which are calculated based on salary levels and past service periods.

***Other operating income, net***

Other operating income, net includes income from third-party subleases and charges to equity method investments to recover costs incurred by us for providing technology and other infrastructure services.

***Interest expense, net***

Interest expense, net primarily includes interest related to our term loans and Revolver, along with the associated amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs.

------

***Foreign currency exchange (loss) gain, net***

Foreign currency exchange (loss) gain, net primarily relates to debt obligations denominated in a currency other than an entity's functional currency as well as the impact of foreign exchange hedges.

***Nonoperating expense, net***

Nonoperating expense, net primarily includes costs associated with remeasurement of warrant to fair value prior to equity reclassification, gain or loss on deconsolidation of our Russian subsidiaries, write-off of unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs, our factoring program, components of net periodic pension benefit other than service cost, income from transition services agreement and settlement of tax indemnification.

***Income tax expense from continuing operations***

Income tax expense includes U.S. federal, U.S. state and non-U.S. income tax and withholding tax expense. We provide for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each balance sheet date, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rates is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as an adjustment to income tax expense in the period that includes the enactment date.

We record a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Such tax positions are, based solely on their technical merits, more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities and reflect the largest amount of benefit, determined on a cumulative probability basis that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority with full knowledge of all relevant information. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

***Discontinued operations***

Discontinued operations include the operating results from the GfK European Consumer Panel Business that was divested in the Required GfK European Consumer Panel Services Divestiture. See Note 4. "Discontinued Operations and Disposals" in the notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

***Revenues***

Revenues increased $70.5 million, or 7.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. Americas revenue increased by $20.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 driven by higher incremental Intelligence revenue of $15.4 million, representing an increase of 5.1% due to strong renewals, expansion in core services, cross-selling new capabilities and penetrating adjacent and high-growth markets, and by an increase in incremental Activation revenue of $4.8 million, representing an increase of 6.0% driven by higher project demand and volumes. EMEA revenue increased by $46.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 driven by higher incremental Intelligence revenue of $42.1 million representing an increase of 11.5% driven by strong renewals, expansion in core services, cross-selling new capabilities and penetrating adjacent and high-growth markets, slightly offset by the sale of ownership interest in Netquest (a panel provider acquired through the GfK Combination) and the deconsolidation of our Russia subsidiaries. EMEA incremental Activation revenue increased $4.4 million representing an increase of 7.0% driven by higher project volume. In addition, APAC revenue increased by $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 driven by higher incremental Intelligence revenue of $3.8 million, representing an increase of 3.0%, driven by stronger demand for services. Additionally, favorable currency exchange rates contributed 2.3% to total revenue growth.

***Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation and amortization shown separately below)***

Cost of revenues increased $27.5 million, or 6.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was due primarily to inflationary costs and increased personnel costs.

------

***Selling, general and administrative expenses***

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $58.8 million, or 14.8%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased driven by the incremental share-based compensation expense as a result of the completion of the Company's IPO and the satisfaction of certain conditions associated with RSUs and Phantom Awards agreements.

***Depreciation and amortization*** 

Depreciation and amortization increased $12.5 million, or 8.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. $11.5 million of the increase relates to the increase in amortization for internally developed software and other intangibles for the same periods.

***Impairment of long-lived assets*** 

Impairment of long-lived assets decreased $1.1 million, or 100.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease is driven by the impairment of long-term assets associated with the deconsolidation of our Russian subsidiaries during the three months ended September 30, 2024.

***Restructuring, net*** 

Restructuring, net decreased $9.7 million, or 71.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in restructuring charges was driven by $9.7 million of lower severance costs associated with GfK Integration. See Note 12. "Restructuring Activities" in the notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

***Other operating income, net*** 

Other operating income, net decreased $1.3 million, or 19.7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in charges to equity method investments.

***Interest expense, net***

Interest expense, net decreased $23.2 million, or 22.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by the 2025 debt refinancings. As a result of the refinancing, there was a decrease of $21.8 million in interest expense related to these loans for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. See Note 8. "Debt" in the notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

***Foreign currency exchange (loss) gain, net*** 

Foreign currency exchange (loss) gain, net decreased by $30.1 million to a net loss of $18.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by higher foreign currency losses related to the depreciation of the Euro against the US Dollar.

***Nonoperating expense, net*** 

Nonoperating expense, net decreased $60.4 million, or 66.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. This was driven by lower write-offs of payables (related to the deconsolidation of our Russian subsidiaries during the three months ended September 30, 2024), a decrease in the remeasurement of warrant to fair value and write-off of debt discount and unamortized debt issuance costs between years.

***Income tax expense from continuing operations*** 

Income tax expense from continuing operations increased $14.5 million, a change of 73.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the effective tax rate was 21% and 10%, respectively. The increase in our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by an increase in the pre-tax book income and changes in jurisdictional earnings.

------

***Income from discontinued operations before income taxes*** 

We had no income from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to income of $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease relates to the GfK European Consumer Panel Business that was divested during the three months ended September 30, 2024. See Note 4.

The increase was primarily driven by higher foreign currency gains of $74.9 million related to debt obligations denominated in a currency other than the entity's functional currency.

***Nonoperating expense, net***

Nonoperating income (expense), net decreased $92.6 million, or 57.6%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This was primarily driven by year over year changes of $63.0 million related to the deconsolidation of our Russian subsidiaries, $25.9 million related to the remeasurement of warrant to fair value prior to equity reclassification, and $3.0 million of factoring fees.

***Income tax expense from continuing operations***

Income tax expense from continuing operations increased $0.9 million, a change of 1.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the effective tax rate was 35% and 15%, respectively. The increase in our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by a reduction in the pre-tax book loss and changes in jurisdictional earnings.

------

***Income from discontinued operations before income taxes***

We had no income from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to income of $12.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This income relates to the GfK European Consumer Panel Business that was divested in the required GfK European Consumer Panel Services Divestiture which resulted in a $12.4 million gain recognized in connection with completing the sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. See Note 4. "Discontinued Operations and Disposals" in the notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures** 

We present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted Net Loss per Share, Organic Constant Currency Revenue, and Organic Constant Currency Revenue Growth in the tables below as supplemental measures of our operating performance and liquidity. We consider them to be important supplemental measures of our performance and liquidity and believe they are useful to securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of our operating performance and liquidity. These measures reflect the results from the primary operations of our business by excluding the effects of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our core operations and ongoing operating performance.

Our financial statements are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not presentations made in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss, income or loss from operations, or any other performance measure prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Consequently, our non-GAAP financial measures should be considered together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

***EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin***

EBITDA is defined as net loss attributable to NIQ excluding interest expense, net, income tax expense from continuing operations and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for Transformation Program costs, GfK integration costs, acquisition and transaction related costs, impairment of long-lived assets, foreign currency exchange (gain) loss, net, loss (gain) from discontinued operations, nonoperating items, net, share-based compensation expense and other operating items, net. Specifically, Adjusted EBITDA allows for an assessment of our operating performance without the effect of charges that do not relate to the core operations of our business. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by Revenue. The following table shows EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented, and the reconciliation to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measure, Net Loss Attributable to NIQ, and Net Loss attributable to NIQ divided by Revenue, for the periods presented:

***Footnotes to the table above:***

(1)Transformation Program costs represent employee separation costs and costs associated with consultancy and advisory fees incurred to evaluate and improve organizational efficiencies and operations. In addition, the Transformation Program includes costs associated with the accelerated technology investment that are incremental and redundant costs that will not recur after the Transformation Program is completed and are not representative of our underlying operating performance.

(2)GfK integration costs represent employee separation costs, consulting fees and integration costs associated with the GfK Combination.

(3)Acquisitions and transaction related costs represent costs incurred in connection with planned and completed acquisitions, including due diligence, transaction, integration and legal related costs. These costs also include preparation and readiness costs for capital market transactions.

(4)Impairment of long-lived assets represents impairment charges for operating lease right-of-use assets, property, plant and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets.

(5)Foreign currency exchange loss (gain), net primarily reflects the translation movements on foreign currency denominated term loans as well as the impact of foreign exchange hedges.

(6)Loss from discontinued operations represents operations associated with the GfK European Consumer Panel Business that was divested in the Required GfK European Consumer Panel Services Divestiture to receive European regulatory approvals for the GfK Combination (see Note 4. "Discontinued Operations and Disposals" in the notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information).

(7)Nonoperating items, net consists of adjustments primarily related to net period pension (cost) benefit, other than service cost, remeasurement of warrant to fair value, write-off of unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs, deconsolidation of Russian subsidiaries, settlement of tax indemnification, factoring fees, and other. The settlement of tax indemnification relates to certain taxes indemnified by Nielsen in connection with the 2021 Carve-Out Transaction.

(8)Share-based compensation expense consists of non-cash expense.

(9)Other operating items, net primarily consists of gain/loss on sale of long-lived assets and gain/loss on settlement of asset retirement obligations. We exclude these expenses because they are not closely tied to the core performance of our business and can cause fluctuations between periods due to the nature and timing of the expense or income. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses as part of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

***Free Cash Flow***

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less cash paid for capital expenditures. Management believes Free Cash Flow, in conjunction with Cash from Operations, can be useful to investors as an indicator of liquidity since capital expenditures are a necessary component of ongoing operations. Management believes that capital expenditures are essential to our innovation and maintenance of our operational capabilities. The following tables show Free Cash Flow for the periods presented, and the reconciliation to its most comparable U.S. GAAP measure, net cash used in operating activities, for the periods presented.

Free Cash Flow increased by $145.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 due to improved profitability as evidenced by a higher Adjusted EBITDA, lower transformation costs, and lower cash paid for interest from post-IPO refinancing. See the "Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows" in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

***Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss Per Share***

Adjusted Net Loss is defined as Net Loss Attributable to NIQ excluding special items deemed not to be reflective of ongoing or core operations. Adjusted Net Loss per Share is defined as Adjusted Net Loss divided by the Weighted Average Shares Outstanding.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share are used by management and can be useful to investors as an indicator of our core business performance. Management uses these metrics to analyze business operations and to adjust net loss for items we believe do not accurately reflect our core business or that relate to non-cash expenses or noncontrolling interests.

We exclude the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets as companies utilize intangible assets with different estimated useful lives and have different methods of amortizing intangible assets. Furthermore, the timing and magnitude of business combination transactions are not predictable, and the purchase price allocated to amortizable intangible assets is unique to each acquisition and can vary significantly from period to period and across companies. These costs are included in depreciation and amortization as part of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(3)GfK integration costs represent employee separation costs, consulting fees and integration costs associated with the GfK Combination.

(4)Acquisitions and transaction related costs represent costs incurred in connection with planned and completed acquisitions, including due diligence, transaction, integration and legal related costs. These costs also include preparation and readiness costs for capital market transactions.

(5)Impairment of long-lived assets represents impairment charges for operating lease right-of-use assets, property, plant and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets.

(6)Foreign currency exchange loss (gain), net reflects the translation movements on foreign currency denominated term loans as well as the impact of foreign exchange hedges.

(7)Nonoperating items, net consists of adjustments primarily related to net periodic pension benefit, other than service cost, remeasurement of the warrant to fair value, write-off of unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs, deconsolidation of Russian subsidiaries, settlement of tax indemnification, and other. The settlement of tax indemnification relates to certain taxes indemnified by Nielsen in connection with the 2021 Carve-Out Transaction. The initial amount was recorded as part of purchase accounting adjustments. Further adjustments are made to the tax indemnification as audit settlements or refunds are recorded.

(8)Share-based compensation expense consists of non-cash expense.

(9)Other operating items, net primarily consists of gain/loss on sale of long-lived assets and gain/loss on settlement of asset retirement obligations. We exclude these expenses because they are not closely tied to the core performance of our business and can cause fluctuations between periods due to the nature and timing of the expense or income. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses as part of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

(10)Income tax adjustments include the tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments, calculated using the appropriate statutory tax rate for each adjustment. The non-GAAP tax rate was 79.3% and (232.5)% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024, respectively, and 92.7% and (250.8)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024, respectively. Our statutory rate is evaluated annually.

(11)Gain (loss) from discontinued operations represents operations associated with the Consumer Panel Business that was divested in the Required GfK European Consumer Panel Services Divestiture to receive European regulatory approvals for the GfK Combination (see Note 4. "Discontinued Operations and Disposals" in the notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information).

***Organic Constant Currency Revenue and Organic Constant Currency Revenue Growth***

Organic Constant Currency Revenue Growth is calculated by dividing (a) our Revenues for the applicable period after (i) excluding the impact of acquisitions and similar transactions until the one-year anniversary of such acquisition or similar transaction, (ii) excluding the impact from lost sales related to the Russia Deconsolidation, (iii) excluding the impact of divestitures and (iv) excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates by translating local currency results to U.S. dollars at current period exchange rates as compared to prior period exchange rates, by (b) our Revenues for the prior comparable period. We believe Organic Constant Currency Revenue Growth provides investors with useful supplemental information about our revenue growth to assist in understanding the growth attributable to our core business, excluding the impact of currency fluctuation given the significant variability in revenues that can be driven by foreign currency exchange rates.

------

The following tables present Organic Constant Currency Revenue Growth for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. We present Organic Constant Currency Revenue and Organic Constant Currency Revenue Growth as supplemental measures of our operating performance because they eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Organic Constant Currency Revenue and Organic Constant Currency Growth should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Consolidated Organic Constant Currency Revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 grew by 5.8% and 5.7%, respectively, driven by strong renewal rates, higher pricing, new capabilities and solutions and new and higher growth markets.

Americas Organic Constant Currency Revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 grew by 4.1% and 6.0%, respectively, due to strong renewal rates, expanded verticals and core services and cross selling new capabilities to existing clients.

EMEA Organic Constant Currency Revenue Growth for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 grew by 8.8% and 7.1%, respectively, driven by price, cross selling new capabilities to existing clients and high growth markets.

APAC Organic Constant Currency Revenue Growth for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 grew by 2.3% and 1.9%, respectively, driven by price and new capabilities.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources** 

Our liquidity needs generally arise from fluctuations in our working capital requirements, acquisitions, debt service obligations and capital expenditures. As of September 30, 2025, we had $750.0 million in available borrowing capacity under the Revolver, which combined with available cash of $446.3 million, provided liquidity of $1,196.3 million.

We expect to incur future expenditures on developing internally developed software. We capitalized $55.2 million and $55.8 million of internally developed software costs for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $163.4 million and $172.9 million of internally developed software costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We expect to fund future uses of cash with a combination of existing cash balances, cash generated from operating activities, borrowings under the Revolver or new issuances of debt. We believe we have available resources to meet both our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, including our debt services.

We communicate on a regular basis with our lenders regarding our financial and working capital performance, and liquidity position.

Our Credit Agreement (as defined below) contains various restrictive covenants that, among other things, impose limitations on: (i) the incurrence of additional indebtedness; (ii) creation of liens; (iii) dividend payments or certain other restricted payments or investments, and (iv) mergers, consolidations or sales. The Credit Agreement also requires us to maintain a certain ratio of Consolidated First Lien Debt to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the agreement) if outstanding indebtedness exceeds a certain level. In addition, the debt agreement requires mandatory prepayments of the term loans if our excess cash flow (as defined in the agreement) exceeds a certain level.

***Debt facilities***

***Term Loans and Revolver***

We have a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), comprising term loans and a revolving facility (the "Revolver"). In connection with the Credit Agreement, we are party to the Dutch Security Agreement and have pledged bank receivables and intercompany receivables (each as defined in the Dutch Security Agreement). Prior to January 2025, the term loans comprised 2023 tranches ("2023 USD Term Loan", "2023 EUR Term Loan" and "2023 Liquidity Term Loan", collectively "2023 Tranches") issued to fund working capital and the GfK Combination and 2021 tranches ("2021 USD Term Loan" and "2021 EUR Term Loan", collectively "2021 Tranches") issued in connection with the 2021 Carve-Out Transaction (collectively, "2023 and 2021 Term Loans").

We also entered into a credit agreement with Banco J.P. Morgan S.A. on July 28, 2025, whereby we received BRL150.0 million (equivalent to approximately $27.1 million USD) to finance the M-Trix Acquisition. We settled the loan, including the accrued interest, during the third quarter of 2025. See Note 3. "Acquisitions" in the notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

***2025 Debt Refinancing*** 

On January 24, 2025, the Credit Agreement was amended to consolidate the 2023 Tranches and the 2021 Tranches into a single USD Term Loan ("USD Term Loan") and a single EUR Term Loan ("EUR Term Loan") (the "2025 Debt Refinancing"). The transaction resulted in a $10.3 million loss related to the write-off of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs, along with the expense of $0.3 million in third-party legal fees. We recorded the loss in nonoperating income (expense), net. The 2021 CAD Term Loan and Revolver remain unchanged as a result of refinancing. The term loans mature on March 5, 2028 and require quarterly principal payments equal to 0.25% of the original principal. The respective terms of each debt arrangement are further described below.

On July 24, 2025, as part of the IPO we used approximately $533.4 million of the net proceeds from the IPO to repay all outstanding principal amounts under the Revolver.

On August 12, 2025, the Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things, (a) refinance and replace the existing USD Term Loan with a new USD term loan facility with a reduced interest rate spread of 225 to 250 basis points dependent on certain ratio levels, (b) refinance and replace the existing EUR Term Loan with a new EUR term loan facility with a reduced interest rate spread of 275 to 300 basis points dependent on certain ratio levels, (c) extend the maturity date with respect to the USD and EUR term loan facilities to October 31, 2030 and (d) reduce the interest rate spread with respect to the Revolver to a spread of 175 to 225 basis points dependent on certain ratio levels. Additionally, we used approximately $387.4 million of the net proceeds from the IPO to repay in full the 2021 CAD Term Loan in the amount of C$122.6 million (approximately $89.0 million USD) and to repay €255.0 million (approximately $298.4 million USD) of the EUR Term Loan, including accrued interest of $2.8 million USD and accrued interest on the USD Term Loan of $5.7 million.

In connection with both the July 11, 2025 and August 12, 2025 amendments, we recognized a combined loss of $24.7 million, which included $16.1 million for the write-off of unamortized discount and $8.6 million for the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, along with the expense of $1.3 million in third-party legal fees. The amounts associated with the write-off were included in nonoperating expense, net.

*Operating Activities* 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, there was an increase of $104.4 million in net cash provided by operating activities primarily due to a decrease of net loss of $225.7 million adjusted for non-cash items, partially offset by a decrease in net movements in operating assets and liabilities of $121.3 million. Non-cash items include a movement of $75.2 million in non-cash foreign currency exchange gain (loss), net, a movement of $63.0 million in the (gain) loss on the deconsolidation of subsidiaries and related adjustments, a decrease in impairment of $27.3 million, a decrease in the mark-to-market of the Warrant liability of $25.9 million, a decrease in the amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs of $9.3 million, a decrease in the provision for credit losses of $0.9 million, and a decrease of $0.8 million in the write-off of unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs, partially offset by an increase in share-based compensation of $50.1 million, a $24.9 million increase in deferred income taxes, an increase of $21.6 million in depreciation and amortization, a movement of $17.3 million in other operating activities, net and a $7.5 million adjustment to the gain on disposal of business. The net movements in operating assets and liabilities include cash outflows related to a $105.5 million decrease in accounts payable and other current liabilities primarily due to decreases in our trade payables in the ordinary course of business, a $10.6 million increase in other noncurrent assets, net of noncurrent liabilities, and a $6.1 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, primarily due to increases in prepaid expenses in the ordinary course of business, partially offset by cash inflows relating to a $0.5 million decrease in trade and other receivables, and a $0.4 million increase in operating leases, net.

*Investing Activities* 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the decrease of $235.9 million in cash (used in) provided by investing activities was due primarily to a decrease in disposal activity of $247.9 million related to the sale of Netquest in February 2025 for cash considerations of $66.2 million, as compared to the sale of GfK's Consumer Panel business in January 2024 for net cash proceeds of $301.7 million along with an increase in acquisition activity of $58.6 million due to the Gastrograph Acquisition for cash consideration of $11.3 million and the M-Trix Acquisition for cash consideration of approximately $27.1 million, as compared to the $20.2 million favorable working capital adjustment received in the first quarter of 2024 for the GfK Combination.

------

*Financing Activities* 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the increase of $255.7 million in cash provided by (used in) financing activities was due primarily to proceeds from our IPO, net of underwriters discounts and commissions, of $1,005.4 million and lower dividends paid to noncontrolling interests of $6.8 million, partially offset by an increase in repayments of debt of $687.3 million primarily related to the paydown of the Revolver for $533.4 million and paydown of the 2021 CAD Term Loan for approximately $89.0 million in connection with the use of net proceeds from the IPO, a decrease in net proceeds received of $50.1 million primarily related to a decrease in net proceeds received from the Revolver for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a $8.4 million increase in debt issuance costs paid related to the 2025 debt refinancings, and a $8.4 million payment of deferred offering costs following the Company's IPO.

***Cash requirements***

As of September 30, 2025, we have cash requirements for long-term debt payments, leases and other liabilities. There have been no material changes to these obligations since December 31, 2024, except for debt as noted below. For debt related information, see Note 8. "Debt" in the notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. For commitment and contingency-related information, see Note 17. "Commitments and Contingencies" in the notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

As of September 30, 2025, we had the following obligations:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Long-term debt obligations of $3,624.0 million are expected to be paid out as follows: $13.3 million in 2025, $47.1 million in 2026, $23.0 million in 2027, $23.0 million in 2028, $23.0 million in 2029, and $3,494.6 million thereafter.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

We prepare our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods and the related disclosures in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, and we base our estimates on historical experience, management's judgment and input from other third parties from information available at the time. While we have used our best estimates based on the facts and circumstances available to us at the time, different estimates reasonably could have been used in the current period. In addition, changes in the accounting estimates that we use are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, which may have a material impact on the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations. Although we believe our estimates, assumptions and judgments are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual outcomes could differ materially from those estimates in a manner that could have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as described in our Prospectus. For additional information about our critical accounting estimates, see the disclosure included in our Prospectus.

**Recent Accounting Standards** 

See Note 2. "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of our notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of recently adopted and recently issued accounting standards.

**<u>Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk</u>**

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position because of adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of exposure resulting from potential changes in interest rates or foreign exchange rates. We may use certain derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency and interest rate hedges, but only as a risk management tool and not for speculative or trading purposes.

***Foreign exchange risk***

We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates as a result of our investments and operations in countries other than the United States, as well as our foreign-currency denominated debt obligations. Our exposure to currency rate fluctuations primarily relate to Europe (euro, British pound and Swiss franc), Canada (Canadian dollar), China (yuan), Brazil (real) and Mexico (peso).

We translate the assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries that are measured in foreign currencies at the applicable period-end exchange rate, and we translate revenue and expenses at the weighted average exchange rates prevailing during the period. The resulting translation adjustment is recorded as a separate component of equity in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the reporting currency are included in foreign currency exchange (loss) gain, net as incurred.

------

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, revenue attributable to transactions denominated in U.S. dollars and euro were approximately 25%&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; and 23%, respectively, for both periods presented. No other currency represented greater than 10% of our revenue for the periods presented. In 2025, a hypothetical 10% change in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to a basket of the foreign currencies for the foreign countries in which we had operations during the period would have changed our revenue by approximately $305.2 million.

We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts and cross-currency swaps to hedge our foreign exchange exposure. As of September 30, 2025, we had an aggregate notional amount of $299.9 million related to foreign exchange forward contracts and $1,016.7 million related to cross-currency swaps. The foreign exchange forward contracts have expiration dates through June 2026 and the cross-currency swaps have expiration dates through February 2026.

We may establish additional foreign subsidiaries in the future and continue to derive a larger portion of our revenue from sales denominated in a foreign currency. As a result, our future operating results could be subject to further fluctuations in foreign exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar.

***Interest rate risk***

We are exposed to interest rate risk as a result of the floating-rate debt under our term loans. The variable interest rates on these borrowings are based on term SOFR, subject to floors, plus applicable margins based on certain ratio levels.

As of September 30, 2025, we had $3,590.7 million of floating-rate debt under our term loans with a weighted-average interest rate of 6.1%. A 100 basis point increase in the average term SOFR rate applied to this indebtedness would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $21.6 million.

We enter into certain interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and interest rate collars with various counterparties to hedge our interest rate exposure. As of September 30, 2025, we had interest rate contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $2,039.9 million and an aggregate fair value of $5.6 million (liability position). These interest rate derivative instruments have expiration dates through February 2026.

In the future our exposure to interest rate risk may change due to changes in the amount borrowed, changes in interest rates, or changes in the amount we have hedged. The amount of our outstanding debt, and the ratio of fixed-rate debt to variable-rate debt, can be expected to vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions or other factors.

**<u>Item 4. Controls and Procedures</u>**

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), as of September 30, 2025, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 as a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below.

**Previously Reported Material Weakness** 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As previously disclosed in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, management has an unremediated material weakness related to the design and operation of internal controls over financial reporting related to certain aspects of the application of purchase accounting for acquisitions. Specifically, internal controls were not designed and maintained effectively with regard to: (i) the allocation of goodwill and certain identifiable assets to foreign subsidiaries, which has an impact on currency translation or remeasurement of such balances stated in the consolidated financial statements, and (ii) conforming of U.S. GAAP and accounting policies of acquired entities to that of the Company.

**Remediation Plan for Material Weakness** 

As disclosed in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, management designed and implemented certain enhancements to the Company's internal control over financial reporting in response to this previously reported material weakness related to the application of purchase accounting for acquisitions. These enhancements materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Specifically, the Company migrated several key financial reporting and operational processes to an offshore shared service team as part of a broader transition to a centralized hub operating model. This transition included shifting responsibilities related to transaction processing, general ledger activities and certain reconciliation procedures from onshore and local regions to offshore resources. To maintain adequate oversight into these operations, management implemented a new secondary management review control, which constituted a material enhancement to the control environment, supporting the accuracy and completeness of financial reporting data processed by the offshore teams.

To further strengthen the Company's control environment, management expanded its workforce by onboarding a significant number of new personnel within the centralized location. This hiring initiative was designed to ensure adequate staffing levels to support critical operating activities, reduce reliance on dispersed teams and promote consistent application of controls across the organization.

Additional organizational and procedural changes included revised control ownership, standardized workflows, and transition to a centralized SAP platform. Management continues to monitor and assess the design and operating effectiveness of these updated controls as part of its ongoing internal control monitoring process.

While we believe these efforts will improve our internal controls and address the underlying causes of the material weakness, such material weakness will not be remediated until our remediation plan has been fully implemented and we have concluded that our controls are operating effectively for a sufficient period of time. We cannot assure you that the measures we have implemented to date, and the measures that we are continuing to implement, will be sufficient to remediate the control deficiencies that led to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting on a timely basis or that they will prevent or avoid potential future material weakness. Additionally, our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business.

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting** 

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

**Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

For purposes of <u>Section 6.10(a)</u> and the calculation of compliance with any financial ratio for purposes of taking any action hereunder, on any relevant date of determination, amounts denominated in currencies other than Dollars shall be translated into Dollars at the applicable currency exchange rate used in preparing the financial statements delivered pursuant to <u>Sections 5.01(a)</u> or <u>(b)</u> (or, prior to the first such delivery, the financial statements referred to in <u>Section 3.04</u>), as applicable, for the relevant Test Period and will, with respect to any Indebtedness, reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of any Hedge Agreement permitted hereunder in respect of currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination for the Dollar Equivalent amount of such Indebtedness; <u>provided</u>, that the amount of any Indebtedness that is subject to a Debt FX Hedge shall be determined in accordance with the definition of "Consolidated Total Debt". Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that Intermediate Dutch Holdings would not be in compliance with <u>Section 6.10(a)</u> if any Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than Dollars were to be translated into Dollars on the basis of the applicable currency exchange rate used in preparing the financial statements delivered pursuant to <u>Section 5.01(a)</u> or <u>(b)</u>, as applicable, for the relevant Test Period, but would be in compliance with <u>Section 6.10(a)</u> if such Indebtedness that is denominated in a currency other than in Dollars were instead translated into Dollars on the basis of the average relevant currency exchange rates over such Test Period (taking into account the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of any Hedge Agreement permitted hereunder in respect of currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination for the Dollar Equivalent amount of such Indebtedness), then, solely for purposes of compliance with <u>Section 6.10(a)</u>, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such Test Period shall be calculated on the basis of such average relevant currency exchange rates; <u>provided</u>, that the amount of any Indebtedness that is subject to a Debt FX Hedge shall be determined in accordance with the definition of "Consolidated Total Debt".

If the Administrative Agent and all the Revolving Lenders that would be obligated to make Credit Extensions denominated in such requested currency consent to making Revolving Loans in the requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower Representative, and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternate Currency hereunder for purposes of any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, if the Administrative Agent and each applicable Issuing Bank consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in the requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower Representative and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternate Currency hereunder for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuance.

Each Swingline Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of not less than $100,000 or €100,000 (as applicable) or such lesser amount as may be agreed by the Swingline Lender; <u>provided</u> that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Swingline Loan may be in an aggregate amount that is (1) equal to the entire unused balance of the aggregate unused Revolving Credit Commitments or (2) required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by <u>Section 2.05(d)</u>. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Swingline Loans may be borrowed, prepaid and reborrowed. To request a Swingline Loan, the Applicable Revolving Borrower (or the Borrower Representative on its behalf) shall notify the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such request by delivery of a written Borrowing Request, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Applicable Revolving Borrower, not later than (x) 1:00 p.m. on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan in the case of Swingline Loans to be made available to any Borrower that is a US Loan Party and (y) 8:00 a.m. on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan in the case of Swingline Loans to be made available to the Dutch Borrower or any other Revolving Borrower that is a Non-US Loan Party.

Non-US Loan Party, in each case, by means of a credit to the account designated in the related Borrowing Request or otherwise in accordance with the instructions of the Applicable Borrower (or the Borrower Representative on its behalf) (including, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of any LC Disbursement as provided in <u>Section 2.05(e)</u>, by remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to purchase a participation on the second Business Day following receipt of such notice in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount (stated in Dollars or Euros) of Swingline Loans in which the Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Revolving Lender's Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender's Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by effecting a wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in <u>Section 2.07</u> with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and <u>Section 2.07</u> shall apply, *mutatis mutandis*, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this <u>Section 2.04(b)</u>), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Applicable Revolving Borrower of any participation in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this <u>Section 2.04(b)</u>, and thereafter any payment in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Applicable Revolving Borrower in respect of any Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of any sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted by the Swingline Lender to the Administrative Agent, and any such amount received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to each Revolving Lender that has made its payment pursuant to this <u>Section 2.04(b)</u> and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; <u>provided</u> that if and to the extent such payment is required to be funded to the Applicable Revolving Borrower for any reason, such payment shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and thereafter to the Applicable Revolving Borrower. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this <u>Section 2.04(b)</u> shall not relieve the Applicable Revolving Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent (for the account of the Swingline Lender) any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this <u>Section 2.04</u> by the time specified in <u>Section 2.04(b)</u>, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate (or, in the case of any Swingline Loan denominated in Euros, the Administrative Agent's customary rate for interbank advances in Euros) from time to time in effect and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amount owing under this <u>clause (c)</u> shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

If the Applicable Revolving Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Applicable Revolving Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender's Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the payment then due from the Applicable Revolving Borrower, in the same manner as provided in <u>Section 2.07</u> with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and <u>Section 2.07</u> shall apply, *mutatis mutandis*, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders.

A certificate of the applicable Issuing Bank submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amount owing under this <u>clause (ii)</u> shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Obligations Absolute</u>. The obligation of the Applicable Revolving Borrower to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in <u>paragraph (d)</u> of this Section shall be absolute and unconditional and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the obligations of the Applicable Revolving Borrower hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank; <u>provided</u> that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such Issuing Bank from liability to the Applicable Revolving Borrower to the extent of any direct damages suffered by the Applicable Revolving Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank's failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of applicable Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to any document presented which appears on its face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such document without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such document if such document is not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)<u>Disbursement Procedures</u>. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Applicable Revolving Borrower by electronic means or by telephone (confirmed by electronic means) upon any LC Disbursement thereunder; <u>provided</u> that no failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall relieve the Applicable Revolving Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)<u>Interim Interest</u>. If any Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, unless the Applicable Revolving Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Applicable Revolving Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement (or the date on which such LC Disbursement is reimbursed with the proceeds of Loans, as applicable), at the rate per annum then applicable (x) in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars, to Twelfth Amendment Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans, (y) in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, to Twelfth Amendment Revolving Loans that are Canadian Prime Rate Loans and (y) in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in any Alternate Currency (other than Canadian Dollars), to Twelfth

Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to <u>paragraph (d)</u> of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment and shall be payable on the date on which the Applicable Revolving Borrower is required to reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement in full (and, thereafter, on demand).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)<u>Replacement or Resignation of an Issuing Bank; Designation of New Issuing Banks</u>. (i) Any Issuing Bank may be replaced with the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the Borrower Representative at any time by written agreement among the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement becomes effective, unless otherwise agreed by the replaced Issuing Bank, the Applicable Revolving Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued prior to such date for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to <u>Section 2.12(b)(ii)</u>. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term "Issuing Bank" shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of any Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)The Borrower Representative may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the relevant Revolving Lender, designate one or more additional Revolving Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement. Any Revolving Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this <u>paragraph (i)</u> who agrees in writing to such designation shall be deemed to be an "Issuing Bank" (in addition to being a Revolving Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Revolving Lender in respect of its Letter of Credit Commitment (the amount of which Letter of Credit Commitment shall be specified in the agreement pursuant to which such Revolving Lender becomes an Issuing Bank), and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to the other Issuing Bank and such Revolving Lender; <u>provided</u>, that for the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the Letter of Credit Commitments of the other Issuing Banks shall not be reduced or otherwise be affected by the appointment of any additional Revolving Lender as an Issuing Bank pursuant to this <u>paragraph (ii)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Issuing Bank may, upon thirty days' prior written notice to the Borrower Representative, each other Issuing Bank and the Lenders, resign as Issuing Bank, which resignation shall be effective as of the date referenced in such notice (but in no event less than thirty days (or such later date as the relevant Issuing Bank may agree) after the delivery of such written notice); <u>provided</u> that the effectiveness of such resignation shall be conditioned on and subject to the appointment of a replacement Issuing Bank reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower Representative who agrees to assume the entire Letter of Credit Commitment of the resigning Issuing Bank, and no such resignation shall become effective unless and until such replacement Issuing Bank has accepted such appointment and agreed to provide such Letter of Credit Commitment on terms acceptable to the Borrower Representative; <u>provided</u>, further, that it is understood and agreed that in the event of any such resignation, any Letter of Credit then outstanding

In the event of any such resignation of any Issuing Bank, the Borrower Representative shall be entitled, but shall not be obligated, to appoint another Revolving Lender that is willing, in its sole discretion to accept such appointment in writing as successor Issuing Bank in respect of such resigning Issuing Bank; it being understood that the resignation of any such Issuing Bank shall not be effective in the event of a failure to appoint any such successor Issuing Bank and/or a failure of any Revolving Lender to accept such appointment as Issuing Bank.

Section 1.07.<u>Funding of Borrowings</u>.

most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender's respective Applicable Percentage; <u>provided</u> that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in <u>Section 2.04</u>. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received on the same Business Day, in like funds, to the account designated in the relevant Borrowing Request or as otherwise directed by the Borrower Representative; <u>provided</u> that ABR Revolving Loans (or LIBO Rate Revolving Loans in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in any Alternate Currency) made to finance the reimbursement of any LC Disbursement as provided in <u>Section 2.05(d)</u> shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from any Lender that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of any Borrowing prior to the proposed date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with <u>paragraph (a)</u> of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if any Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower Representative severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate (or, with respect to any amount denominated in (i) Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Prime Rate or (ii) any other Alternate Currency, the rate of interest per annum at which overnight deposits in the applicable Alternate Currency, on an amount approximately equal to the amount with respect to which such rate is being determined, would be offered for such day by the Administrative Agent in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency) and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower Representative, the interest rate applicable to Loans comprising such Borrowing at such time. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in such Borrowing and the obligation of the Borrower Representative to repay the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount pursuant to this <u>Section 2.07(b)</u> shall cease. If the Borrower Representative pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, the amount so paid shall constitute a repayment of such Borrowing by such amount. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Applicable Borrower or any other Loan Party may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

Section 1.08.<u>Type; Interest Elections</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Each Borrowing shall initially be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of any LIBO Rate Borrowing or Term SOFR Rate Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower Representative may elect to convert any Borrowing denominated in Dollars to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a LIBO Rate Borrowing or Term SOFR Rate Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower Representative may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders based upon their Applicable Percentages and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or continued.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower Representative shall deliver an Interest Election Request, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative, to the Administrative Agent in accordance with <u>Section 2.03</u>. If any such Interest Election Request requests a LIBO Rate Borrowing or Term SOFR Rate Borrowing but does not specify an Interest

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender's portion of each resulting Borrowing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)If the Borrower Representative fails to deliver (or cause to be delivered) a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a LIBO Rate Borrowing or Term SOFR Rate Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, such Borrowing shall be converted at the end of such Interest Period to an ABR Borrowing (or if denominated in (i) Canadian Dollars, a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing or (ii) any Alternate Currency (other than Canadian Dollars), a LIBO Rate Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)It is understood and agreed that (i) only Borrowings denominated in Dollars may be made in the form of, or converted into, an ABR Loan or a Term SOFR Rate Loan, (ii) only Borrowings denominated in Canadian Dollars may be made and/or converted to Canadian Prime Rate Loans or, as applicable, Daily Simple CORRA Loans and (iii) a Term SOFR Borrowing may not be converted to a LIBO Rate Borrowing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u> that the Borrower Representative shall not be required to compensate any Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's or Issuing Bank's intention to claim compensation therefor; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

In connection with any request for reimbursement under this <u>Section 2.17(c)</u>, the relevant Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower Representative setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis and calculation of the amount of the relevant payment or liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this <u>Section 2.17</u>, no Borrower shall be required to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to this <u>Section 2.17</u> for any amount to the extent the Administrative Agent or such Lender fails to notify the Borrower Representative of such possible indemnification claim within 180 days after the Administrative Agent or such Lender receives written notice from the applicable taxing authority of the specific Tax assessment giving rise to such indemnification claim.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any withholding Tax with respect to any payment made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation as the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to U.S. federal or Dutch withholding or information reporting requirements.

Solely for purposes of this <u>clause (D)</u>, "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, if a Lender is an entity disregarded from its owner for US federal income tax purposes, references to the foregoing documentation are intended to refer to documentation with respect to such Lender's owner and, as applicable, such Lender.

Each Lender agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect (including any specific documentation required above in this <u>Section 2.17(f)</u>), it shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)<u>Treatment of Certain Refunds</u>. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund (whether received in cash or applied as a credit against any cash taxes payable) of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this <u>Section 2.17</u>, it shall pay over such refund to the applicable Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this <u>Section 2.17</u> with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund), and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); <u>provided</u> that the applicable Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (<u>plus</u> any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this <u>paragraph (g)</u>, in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the applicable Loan Party pursuant to this <u>paragraph (g)</u> to the extent that the payment thereof would place the

Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the position that the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This <u>Section 2.17</u> shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the relevant Loan Party or any other Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)<u>Survival</u>. Each party's obligations under this <u>Section 2.17</u> shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>Definition of "Lender"</u>. For the avoidance of doubt, the term "Lender" shall, for all purposes of this <u>Section 2.17</u>, include any Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender.

At any time thereafter, the Administrative Agent shall provide updated documentation previously provided (or a successor form thereto) when any documentation previously delivered has expired or become obsolete or invalid or otherwise upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this <u>Section 2.17(j)</u>, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to provide any documentation that the Administrative Agent is not legally eligible to deliver as a result of a Change in Law after the Closing Date.

Section 1.18.<u>Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Payments</u>.

Each such payment shall be made in immediately available funds (or such other form of consideration as the relevant Lender may agree), without set-off or counterclaim. Any amount received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower Representative, except that payments pursuant to <u>Sections 2.15</u>, <u>2.16</u>, <u>2.17</u> and/or <u>9.03</u> shall be made directly to the Person or Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payment received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Except as provided in <u>Sections 2.19(b)</u>, <u>2.20</u>, <u>2.23</u> and/or <u>9.05(g)</u> and/or any other express provision of this Agreement, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans of a given Class and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type (and of the same Class) shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages of the applicable Class. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender's portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender's percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole Dollar or Euro amount. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollar the relevant Alternate Currency, as applicable (or such other form of consideration as the relevant recipient may agree). Any payment required to be made by

The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under applicable Requirements of Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise rights of set-off and counterclaim against any Borrower with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this <u>Section 2.18(c)</u> and will, in each case, notify the Lenders following any such purchase or repayment. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this <u>Section 2.18(c)</u> shall from and after the date of such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from the Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank hereunder that the Applicable Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Applicable Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank the amount due. In such event, if the Applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment (or caused such payment to be made), then each Lender or the applicable Issuing Bank severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (including without limitation the Canadian Prime Rate in the case of Revolving Loans made in Canadian Dollars).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)If any Lender fails to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to <u>Section 2.07(b)</u> or <u>Section 2.18(d)</u>, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amount thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender's obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 1.19.<u>Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)If any Lender requests compensation under <u>Section 2.15</u> or determines it can no longer make or maintain LIBO Rate Loans or Term SOFR Rate Loans, as applicable, pursuant to <u>Section 2.20</u>, or any Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to or indemnify any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to <u>Section 2.17</u>, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or its participation in any Letter of Credit affected by such event, or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to <u>Section 2.15</u> or <u>2.17</u>, as applicable, in the future or mitigate the impact of <u>Section 2.20</u>, as the case may be, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed out-of-pocket cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If (i) any Lender requests compensation under <u>Section 2.15</u> or determines it can no longer make or maintain LIBO Rate Loans or Term SOFR Rate Loans, as applicable, pursuant to <u>Section 2.20</u>, (ii) any Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to or indemnify any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to <u>Section 2.17</u>, (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (iv) in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of "each Lender",

"each Revolving Lender" or "each Lender directly affected thereby" (or any other Class or group of Lenders other than the Required Lenders) with respect to which Required Lender or Required Revolving Lender consent (or the consent of Lenders holding loans or commitments of such Class or lesser group representing more than 50% of the sum of the total loans and unused commitments of such Class or lesser group at such time) has been obtained, as applicable, any Lender is a non-consenting Lender, then the Borrower Representative may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (x) terminate the applicable Commitments of such Lender, and repay all Obligations of the Applicable Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the applicable Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date (<u>provided</u> that, if, after giving effect such termination and repayment, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Class exceeds the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class then in effect, then the Applicable Borrower shall, not later than the next Business Day, prepay one or more Revolving Loan Borrowings of the applicable Class and/or Swingline Loans (and, if no Revolving Loan Borrowings of such Class are outstanding, deposit Cash collateral in the LC Collateral Account) in an amount necessary to eliminate such excess) or (y) replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender shall be obligated to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in <u>Section 9.05</u>), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that assumes such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if any Lender accepts such assignment); <u>provided</u> that (A) such Lender has received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Loans and, if applicable, participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans, in each case of such Class of Loans and/or Commitments, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it under any Loan Document with respect to such Class of Loans and/or Commitments, (B) in the case of any assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under <u>Section 2.15</u> or any payment required to be made pursuant to <u>Section 2.17</u>, such assignment would result in a reduction in such compensation or payment and (C) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Requirements of Law. No Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) shall be required to make any such assignment and delegation, and the Applicable Borrower may not repay the Obligations of such Lender or terminate its Commitments, if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Applicable Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each Lender agrees that if it is replaced pursuant to this <u>Section 2.19</u>, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Promissory Note (if the assigning Lender's Loans are evidenced by one or more Promissory Notes) subject to such Assignment Agreement (<u>provided</u> that the failure of any Lender replaced pursuant to this <u>Section 2.19</u> to execute an Assignment Agreement or deliver any such Promissory Note shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid), such assignment shall be recorded in the Register and any such Promissory Note shall be deemed cancelled. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Lender's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Lender and in the name of such Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent's discretion, with prior written notice to such Lender, to take any action and to execute any such Assignment Agreement or other instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this <u>clause (b)</u>. To the extent that any Lender is replaced pursuant to <u>Section 2.19(b)(iv)</u> in connection with a Repricing Transaction requiring payment of a fee pursuant to <u>Section 2.12(f)</u> or a Specified Repricing Transaction requiring payment of a fee pursuant to <u>Section 2.12(g)</u>, the Applicable Borrower shall pay to each Lender being replaced as a result of such Repricing Transaction or Specified Repricing Transaction, as applicable, the fee set forth in <u>Section 2.12(f)</u> or <u>Section 2.12(g)</u>, respectively.

Section 1.20.<u>Illegality</u>. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Published LIBO Rate, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or Daily Simple CORRA, as applicable, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Published LIBO Rate, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or

Daily Simple CORRA, as applicable, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of Dollars or any Alternate Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower Representative through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue LIBO Rate Loans, Term SOFR Rate Loans or Daily Simple CORRA Loans, as applicable, in the effected currency or currencies or to convert ABR Loans to Term SOFR Rate Loans (if denominated in Dollars) or to convert Canadian Prime Rate Loans (if denominated in Canadian Dollars), as the case may be, shall be suspended and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining ABR Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Published LIBO Rate component or Adjusted Term SOFR Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, or Canadian Prime Rate Loans the interest on which is determined by reference to the Term CORRA component of the Canadian Prime Rate, the interest rate on which ABR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, of such Lender, shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to such component of the Alternate Base Rate or the Term CORRA component of the Canadian Prime Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist (which notice such Lender agrees to give promptly). Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower Representative shall, upon demand from the relevant Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay (or cause to be prepaid) or (I) if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, convert all of such Lender's Term SOFR Rate Loans, LIBO Rate Loans or Daily Simple CORRA Loans, as applicable, to ABR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable (the interest rate on which ABR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate or the Term CORRA component of the Canadian Prime Rate) or (II) if applicable and such Loans (other than Swingline Loans denominated in an Alternate Currency) are denominated in any Alternate Currency (other than Canadian Dollars), convert such Loans to Loans bearing interest at an alternative rate mutually acceptable to the Borrower Representative and such Lender, in each case, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBO Rate Loans, Term SOFR Rate Loans or Daily Simple CORRA Loans, as applicable, until such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans (in which case the Applicable Borrower shall not be required to make payments pursuant to <u>Section 2.16</u> in connection with such payment); and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Published LIBO Rate, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or Daily Simple CORRA, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate or the Canadian Prime Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Published LIBO Rate component or Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, as applicable, thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Published LIBO Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, as applicable. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the determination of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 1.21.<u>Defaulting Lenders</u>. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Person becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Person is a Defaulting Lender:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of any Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to <u>Section 2.12(a)</u> and, subject to <u>clause (d)(iv)</u> below, on the participation of such Defaulting Lender in Letters of Credit pursuant to <u>Section 2.12(b)</u> and pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The Loans, the Commitments and the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, each affected Lender, the Required Lenders, the Required Revolving Lenders or such other number of Lenders as may be required hereby or under any other

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to <u>Section 2.11</u>, <u>Section 2.15</u>, <u>Section 2.16</u>, <u>Section 2.17</u>, <u>Section 2.18</u>, <u>Article 7</u>, <u>Section 9.05</u> or otherwise, and including any amount made available to the Administrative Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to <u>Section 9.09</u>), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent and, where relevant, the Borrower Representative as follows: <u>first</u>, to the payment of any amount owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; <u>second</u>, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amount owing by such Defaulting Lender to any applicable Issuing Bank and/or the Swingline Lender hereunder; <u>third</u>, if so reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent or reasonably requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, to be held as Cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender in respect of any participation in any Letter of Credit; <u>fourth</u>, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, as the Borrower Representative may request, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; <u>fifth</u>, as the Administrative Agent or the Borrower Representative may elect, to be held in a deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; <u>sixth</u>, to the payment of any amount owing to the non-Defaulting Lenders, Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any non-Defaulting Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; <u>seventh</u>, to the payment of any amount owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by a Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and <u>eighth</u>, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; <u>provided</u> that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Exposure in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loan or LC Exposure was made or created, as applicable, at a time when the conditions set forth in <u>Section 4.02</u> were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Exposure owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loan of, or LC Exposure owed to, such Defaulting Lender. Any payment, prepayment or other amount paid or payable to any Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay any amount owed by any Defaulting Lender or to post Cash collateral pursuant to this <u>Section 2.21(c)</u> shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

any Defaulting Lender arising from such Lender's having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of any Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender's increased exposure following such reallocation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)So long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan, and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, create, incur, amend or increase any Letter of Credit unless the Swingline Lender or the relevant Issuing Banks, as applicable, are reasonably satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders, Cash collateral provided pursuant to <u>Section 2.21(c)</u> and/or Cash collateral provided in accordance with <u>Section 2.21(d)</u>, and participating interest in any such newly issued, extended or created Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in a manner consistent with <u>Section 2.21(d)(i)</u> (it being understood that Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative agree that any Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Person to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of LC Exposure and the Swingline Exposure of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Person's Revolving Credit Commitment, and on such date such Revolving Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the applicable Class of the other Revolving Lenders (other than the Swingline Loans) or participations in Revolving Loans of the applicable Class as the Administrative Agent determine as necessary in order for such Revolving Lender to hold such Revolving Loans or participations in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Class or its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage, as applicable. Notwithstanding the fact that any

Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Person to be a Defaulting Lender, (x) no adjustment will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender and (y) except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Person's having been a Defaulting Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)(i) No Extension consummated in reliance on this <u>Section 2.23</u> shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory prepayment for purposes of <u>Section 2.11</u>, (ii) the scheduled amortization payments (insofar as such schedule affects payments due to Lenders participating in the relevant Class) set forth in <u>Section 2.10</u> shall be adjusted to give effect to any Extension of any Class of Loans and/or Commitments and (iii) except as set forth in <u>clause (a)(viii)</u> above, no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; <u>provided</u> that the Applicable Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a "<u>Minimum Extension Condition</u>") to the consummation of any Extension that a minimum amount (to be specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Applicable Borrower's sole discretion) of Loans or Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable tranches be tendered; it being understood that the Applicable Borrower may, in its sole discretion, waive any such Minimum Extension Condition. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this <u>Section 2.23</u> (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including <u>Sections 2.10</u>, <u>2.11</u> and/or <u>2.18</u>) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Subject to any consent required under <u>Section 2.23(a)(xi)</u>, no consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Loans and/or Commitments of any Class (or a portion thereof). All Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall constitute Secured Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral and guaranteed on a *pari passu* basis with all other applicable Secured Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any Extension Amendment and any amendments to any of the other Loan Documents with the Loan Parties as may be necessary in order to establish new Classes or sub-Classes in respect of Loans or Commitments so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative in connection with the establishment of such new Classes or sub-Classes, in each case on terms consistent with this <u>Section 2.23</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)In connection with any Extension, the Borrower Representative shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five Business Days' (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this <u>Section 2.23</u>.

Section 1.24.<u>Additional Revolving Borrowers</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Borrower Representative may, at any time and from time to time, designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Additional Revolving Borrower; provided, that (i) to the extent such Restricted Subsidiary is organized in a jurisdiction other than an Approved Jurisdiction, such designation shall be subject to the reasonable consent of all of the Revolving Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (ii) the Borrower Representative shall provide (or caused to be provided) such documentation as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent at the time of such designation and consistent with the documentation delivered under <u>Section 4.01(n)</u> and <u>Section 4.01(o)</u> with respect to such Person (and modified as appropriate for the jurisdiction of organization of the applicable Restricted Subsidiary). From and after such designation (and if applicable, such reasonable consent of the Revolving Lenders), such Restricted Subsidiary shall be a "Revolving Borrower" under the applicable Class of Revolving Facility for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and will have the right to directly

request Revolving Loans in accordance with <u>Article II</u> hereof until the relevant Maturity Date of such Class of Revolving Facility.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)For the avoidance of doubt, each Additional Revolving Borrower shall be liable solely for its direct Revolving Loans (and Swingline Loans) and interest (including at the Default Rate), any Letter of Credit fees in respect of Letters of Credit requested by such Additional Revolving Borrower and any reimbursement obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, any Issuing Bank, any Guarantee Bank and the Lenders that may arise in respect of the foregoing, and no Additional Revolving Borrower in its capacity as such shall have any liability whatsoever for any of the obligations of any other Revolving Borrower. Notwithstanding the term "Additional Revolving Borrower", which is used for convenience only, under no circumstance shall any Additional Revolving Borrower in its capacity as such be deemed to be jointly and severally liable for the Obligations of any other Loan Party under any Loan Document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this <u>Section 2.24(b)</u>, this <u>Section 2.24(b)</u> shall in no way limit the obligations of such Additional Revolving Borrower under the applicable Loan Guaranty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)In the event of (i) any sale or disposition of a Revolving Borrower permitted under this Agreement that results in such Revolving Borrower ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or (y) any release of a Revolving Borrower of its obligations hereunder pursuant to <u>Section 8.01</u> or <u>Section 9.23</u>, then on or prior to (or substantially contemporaneously with) such sale, disposition or release, such Revolving Borrower shall (i) pay (or have paid) in full in Cash all of its direct Obligations under any Revolving Facility of any Class under which it is a Revolving Borrower and/or (ii) reallocate (or shall have reallocated) to another Revolving Borrower with Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments in the same Class as such Revolving Borrower all of its reimbursement or participation Obligations to another Revolving Borrower with Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments in the same Class in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, any Issuing Bank, any Guarantee Bank and the Revolving Lenders, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)If there is an inconsistency between any term of any Ancillary Facility and any term of this Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail, except for (A) <u>Section 2.12(h)</u> and <u>Section 2.13(g)</u> hereof, which shall be superseded by the terms of the relevant Ancillary Documents for purposes of calculating fees, interest or commissions in respect of the relevant Ancillary Facility, (B) any Ancillary Facility that is a Multi-Account Overdraft Facility where the terms of the relevant Ancillary Documents shall prevail to the extent required to permit the netting of balances in respect of the relevant accounts and (C) where the relevant term of this Agreement would be contrary to, or inconsistent with, the law governing the relevant Ancillary Document, in which case the relevant term of this Agreement shall be superseded by the terms of the relevant Ancillary Document to the extent necessary to eliminate the subject conflict or inconsistency.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Repayment of Ancillary Facilities.

If any arrangement contemplated in the foregoing sentence is to occur, each Applicable Ancillary Borrower and the Ancillary Lender shall each confirm that to be the case in writing to the Administrative Agent. Upon such Termination Date or, as the case may be, date of cancellation, any such Ancillary Facility shall continue as between the said entities on a bilateral basis and not as part of, or under, the Loan Documents. Save for any rights and obligations against any Secured Party under the Loan Documents arising prior to such Termination Date or, as the case may be, date of cancellation, no such rights or obligations in respect of such Ancillary Facility shall, as between the Secured Parties, continue and the Security shall not support any such facility in respect of any matters that arise after such Termination Date or, as the case may be, date of cancellation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Upon the expiration of any Ancillary Facility in accordance with its terms, the Ancillary Commitment of the relevant Ancillary Lender shall be reduced to zero (and the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Ancillary Lender shall be increased accordingly). Upon the making of one or more Revolving Loans as provided below in an amount sufficient to repay the Ancillary Outstandings under any Ancillary Facility, such Ancillary Facility shall be cancelled upon receipt by the relevant Ancillary Lender of the proceeds thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)No Ancillary Lender may demand repayment, prepayment or cash collateralization of any amounts made available or liabilities incurred by it under any Ancillary Facility (except where the relevant Ancillary Facility is provided on a net limit basis to the extent required to reduce any gross outstandings to the net limit) unless (A) (w) required to reduce the Gross Outstandings of a Multi-Account Overdraft to or towards an amount equal to its Net Outstandings, (x) the Maturity Date with respect to the Revolving Facility to which such Ancillary Facility relates has occurred, (y) the Required Revolving Lenders have accelerated the Revolving Loans and Additional Revolving Loans and terminated the commitments thereunder and demanded repayment of, or otherwise accelerated, the Indebtedness or other obligations thereunder or (z) the expiration date of the relevant Ancillary Facility occurs, (B) it becomes unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction for the relevant Ancillary Lender to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to fund, issue or maintain its participation in the relevant Ancillary Facility or (C) the Ancillary Outstandings (if any) under the relevant Ancillary Facility may be refinanced by a Revolving Loan and the relevant Ancillary Lender provides sufficient notice to permit the refinancing of such Ancillary Outstandings with a Revolving Loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of determining whether or not the Ancillary Outstandings under any Ancillary Facility referenced in <u>clause (c)(iii)(C)</u> above may be refinanced by a Revolving Loan, (A) the Revolving Credit Commitment of the relevant Ancillary Lender will be increased by the amount of its Ancillary Commitment in respect of such Ancillary Facility and (B) unless the circumstances described in clauses <u>(c)(iii)(A)(x)</u> or <u>(y)</u> then exist, each Revolving Lender shall be obligated to make a Revolving Loan to the Applicable Ancillary Borrower for the purpose of refinancing the relevant Ancillary Outstandings on a pro rata basis in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Credit Commitment (determined for such purpose as if such Ancillary Outstanding had already been repaid) whether or not a Default or Event of Default exists or any other applicable condition precedent is not satisfied and irrespective of whether any Ancillary Borrower has delivered a Borrowing Request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)With respect to any Ancillary Facility that comprises an overdraft facility in which a Designated Net Amount has been established, for purposes of calculating compliance with the Designated Net Amount, the Ancillary Lender providing such Ancillary Facility shall only be obligated to take into account the credit balances which it is permitted to take into account by then applicable law and regulations relating to its reporting of exposures to applicable regulatory authorities as netted for capital adequacy purposes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Ancillary Outstandings</u>. The Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Applicable Ancillary Borrower, and each Ancillary Lender agrees with and for the benefit of each Revolving Lender that (i) the Ancillary Outstandings under any Ancillary Facility provided by such Ancillary Lender shall not exceed the Ancillary Commitment applicable to such Ancillary Facility, and where such Ancillary Facility is a Multi-Account Overdraft Facility, the Ancillary Outstandings under such Ancillary Facility shall not exceed the Designated Net Amount in respect of such Ancillary Facility and (ii) where all or a portion of any Ancillary Facility is a Multi-Account Overdraft Facility, the Ancillary Outstandings (calculated without giving effect to the parenthetical in <u>clause (a)</u> of the definition of "Ancillary Outstandings") shall not exceed the Designated Gross Amount applicable to such Ancillary Facility.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Information</u>. The Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Applicable Ancillary Borrower, and each Ancillary Lender shall, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent, provide the Administrative Agent with any information relating to the operation of such Ancillary Facility (including the amount of Ancillary Outstandings and Ancillary Commitments) as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request (subject to compliance with <u>Section 9.05</u> hereof).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)Affiliates of Lenders as Ancillary Lenders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Subject to the terms of this Agreement, an Affiliate of any Revolving Lender (other than any Disqualified Institution) may become an Ancillary Lender, in which case such Revolving Lender and such Affiliate shall be treated as a single Revolving Lender whose Revolving Credit Commitment is as set forth in the Commitment Schedule or in the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which such Revolving Lender assumed its Revolving Credit Commitment, as the same may be modified in accordance with the terms of <u>clauses (a)</u> through <u>(d)</u> of the definition of "Twelfth Amendment Revolving Commitment"; it being understood that the relevant Revolving Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment will be reduced to the extent of the Ancillary Commitment of such Affiliate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)If a Revolving Lender assigns all of its rights and benefits or transfers all of its rights and obligations to another entity (which is not an Affiliate of that Revolving Lender), its Affiliate shall cease to have any obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)To the extent that this Agreement or any other Loan Document imposes any obligation on any Ancillary Lender and such Ancillary Lender is an Affiliate of a Revolving Lender and not a party thereto, the relevant Revolving Lender shall ensure that such obligation is performed by such Affiliate in compliance with the terms hereof or such other Loan Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)Each Ancillary Lender, in its capacity as such, hereby appoints the Agents as its agent for purposes of the Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)Adjustment for Ancillary Facilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)If any notice of acceleration is delivered pursuant to <u>Section 7.01</u> (other than a notice declaring Loans and/or Letters of Credit to be due on demand) or Commitments are automatically accelerated under the proviso in <u>Section 7.01</u>, each Revolving Lender and each Ancillary Lender shall promptly adjust (by making or receiving (as the case may be) corresponding transfers of rights and obligations under the Loan Documents and Ancillary Documents relating to Revolving Outstandings) their claims in respect of amounts outstanding to them under the Revolving Facility of any Class and each Ancillary Facility of such Class to the extent necessary to ensure that after such transfers the Revolving Outstandings of each Revolving Lender for such Class bear the same proportion to the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings for such Class as such Revolving Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class bears to the total Revolving Credit Commitment for such Class, each as at the earlier of (x) the date the notice is served under <u>Section 7.01</u> or (y) the date of automatic acceleration under the proviso in <u>Section 7.01</u> (and ignoring, for the purpose of the calculation of a Revolving Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class and the total Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class for this purpose, any reduction of a Revolving Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class pursuant to <u>Section 2.25(a)</u>).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)If an amount outstanding under an Ancillary Facility is a contingent liability and such contingent liability becomes an actual liability or is reduced to zero after the original adjustment is made under <u>clause (g)(i)</u> above, then each Revolving Lender and Ancillary Lender will make a further adjustment (by making or receiving (as the case may be) corresponding transfers of rights and obligations under the Loan Documents and the Ancillary Documents relating to Revolving Outstandings to the extent necessary) to put themselves in the position they would have been in had the original adjustment been determined by reference to the actual liability or, as the case may be, zero liability and not the contingent liability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)Any transfer of rights and obligations relating to Revolving Outstandings made pursuant to this <u>Section 2.25(g)</u> shall be made for a purchase price in cash, payable at the time of transfer, in an amount equal to such Revolving Outstandings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)All calculations to be made pursuant to this <u>Section 2.25(g)</u> shall be made by the Administrative Agent based upon information provided to it by the Revolving Lenders and Ancillary Lenders and the Spot Rate for the applicable currency in relation to Dollars in effect on the date of determination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)This <u>Section 2.25(g)</u> shall not oblige any Lender to accept the transfer of a claim relating to an amount outstanding under an Ancillary Facility which is not denominated (pursuant to the relevant Ancillary Document) in either Dollars, Euros or any other currency which has been approved as an Alternate Currency for the purpose of the Revolving Facility related to such Ancillary Facility or in another currency which is acceptable to such Lender.

The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Ancillary Lenders may disburse the Loans, provide Letters of Credit and provide Ancillary Facilities for the account of any Borrower, in each case as the Borrower Representative may designate or direct, without notice to any other Borrower or any other Loan Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Each Borrower agrees that any notice, election, representation, warranty, agreement or undertaking by or on behalf of any Borrower by the Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by the Applicable Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if made directly by such Borrower; <u>provided</u> it has been made in the form appropriate for such agreement and subject to the Applicable Borrower's corporate or similar approvals, if necessary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The US Borrower hereby accepts the appointment by each Borrower to act as the agent of such Borrower pursuant to this <u>Section 2.26</u> and shall continue to act hereunder so long as this Agreement remains in effect.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, for purposes of determining whether any breach of <u>Section 6.10(a)</u> has occurred, (x) the Borrower may, by no later than the Cure Deadline, prepay or repay or otherwise reduce the Revolving Loans such that the Revolving Facility Test Condition would no longer have been satisfied, then the requirement to comply with <u>Section 6.10(a)</u> will be deemed to have not been triggered for the relevant Test Period and (y) if <u>Section 6.10(a)</u> is satisfied as of the end of a subsequent Test Period and the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans have not then been accelerated, any previous non-compliance with <u>Section 6.10(a)</u> will be deemed to have been automatically cured.

The Collateral Agent is authorized by the Lenders and each other Secured Party to enter into any Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor, subordination, collateral trust or similar agreement contemplated hereby with respect to any (a) Indebtedness (i) that is (A) required or permitted hereunder to be subordinated in right of payment or with respect to security and/or (B) secured by any Lien and (ii) which contemplates an intercreditor, subordination, collateral trust or similar agreement and/or (b) Secured Hedging Obligations and/or Banking Services Obligations, whether or not constituting Indebtedness (any such other intercreditor, subordination, collateral trust and/or similar agreement an "<u>Additional Agreement</u>"), and the Secured Parties party hereto acknowledge that any Intercreditor Agreement and any other Additional Agreement is binding upon them. Each Lender and each other Secured Party hereto hereby (a) agrees that it will be bound by, and will not take any action contrary to, the provisions of any Intercreditor Agreement or any other Additional Agreement and (b) authorizes and instructs the Collateral Agent to enter into any Intercreditor Agreement and/or any other Additional Agreement and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations to the provisions thereof. The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the Lenders and the other Secured Parties to extend credit to the Borrowers, and the Lenders and the other Secured Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of any Intercreditor Agreement and/or any other Additional Agreement.

Section 1.11.<u>Indemnification of Agent</u>s. To the extent that an Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrowers in accordance with and to the extent required by <u>Section 9.03(b)</u> hereof, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify such Agent (and any Affiliate thereof) in proportion to their respective Applicable Percentages (determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by such Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; <u>provided</u> that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent's (or such affiliate's) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

Without limiting or expanding the provisions of <u>Section 2.17</u>, each Lender shall severally indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within ten days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender

hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this paragraph.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Secured Parties and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Parties and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Secured Parties and the Administrative Agent under <u>Sections 2.12</u> and <u>9.03</u>) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same,

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under <u>Sections 2.12</u> and <u>9.03</u>.

Section 1.14.<u>Acknowledgement of Foreign Law Terms and Interpretive Principles</u>. It is understood and agreed that this <u>Article 8</u> is subject to <u>Section 1.16</u> in all respects.

Section 1.15.<u>Banking Services Obligations and Secured Hedging Obligations</u>. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in the Loan Guaranty or any Security Document, no counterparty to a Hedge Agreement or agreement governing any Banking Services Obligation that obtains the benefits of <u>Section 2.18(b)</u>, any Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of the Loan Guaranty or any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than, if applicable, in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this <u>Article 8</u> to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, any obligation arising under a Hedge Agreement or any agreement governing any Banking Services Obligation unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such obligation, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, from the applicable counterparty to such Hedge Agreement or the agreement governing such Banking Services Obligation, as the case may be.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which any Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; <u>provided</u>, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the relevant Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in (x) <u>clause (A)</u> of the first proviso to <u>Section 9.02(b)</u> that directly and adversely affects the Loans or commitments in which such Participant has an interest and (y) <u>clauses (B)(1)</u>, <u>(2)</u> or <u>(3)</u> of the first proviso to <u>Section 9.02(b)</u>; it being understood and agreed that no Lender may enter into any agreement or other arrangement with any Participant that provides such Participant with the right to agree to or approve (or direct such Lender to agree, approve, consent or not to agree, approve or consent) any other amendment, modification or waiver in respect of any Loan Document, and any such agreement or arrangement shall be deemed to be null and void and of no force or effect. Subject to <u>paragraph (c)(ii)</u> of this Section, the Borrower Representative agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of <u>Sections 2.15</u>, <u>2.16</u> and <u>2.17</u> (subject to the limitations and requirements of such Sections and <u>Section 2.19</u>) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to <u>paragraph (b)</u> of this Section and it being understood that the documentation required under <u>Section 2.17(f)</u> shall be delivered to the participating Lender, and if additional amounts are required to be paid pursuant to <u>Section 2.17(a)</u> or <u>Section 2.17(c)</u>, to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)No Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under <u>Section 2.15</u>, <u>2.16</u> or <u>2.17</u> than the participating Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant.

Each Lender that sells a participation or makes a grant to an SPC shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and their respective successors and registered assigns, and the principal and interest amounts of each Participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (a "<u>Participant/SPC Register</u>"); <u>provided</u>, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of any Participant/SPC Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to any Participant's interest in any Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or any other obligation under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) or Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the Treasury Regulations (or any amended or successor version) or any other applicable section of the Code or Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant/SPC Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant/SPC Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant/SPC Register.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)(i) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (other than to any Disqualified Institution or any natural person) to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to any Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this <u>Section 9.05</u> shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; <u>provided</u>, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release any Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)No Lender may at any time enter into a total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative instrument under which any Secured Obligation is a reference obligation (any such swap or other derivative instrument, an "<u>Obligations Derivative Instrument</u>") with any counterparty that is a Disqualified Institution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a "<u>Granting Lender</u>") may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an "<u>SPC</u>"), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, the option to provide to any Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; <u>provided</u>, that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of any Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under <u>Section 2.15</u>, <u>2.16</u> or <u>2.17</u>) and no SPC shall be entitled to any greater amount under <u>Section 2.15</u>, <u>2.16</u> or <u>2.17</u> or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that the Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive, unless the grant to such SPC is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower Representative (in its sole discretion), expressly acknowledging that such SPC's entitlement to benefits under <u>Sections 2.15</u>, <u>2.16</u> and <u>2.17</u> is not limited to what the Granting Lender

would have been entitled to receive absent the grant to the SPC, (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender) and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes including approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of the Loan Documents, remain the Lender of record hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the Requirements of Law of the US or any State thereof; <u>provided</u>, that (i) such SPC's Granting Lender is in compliance in all material respects with its obligations to the Borrowers hereunder and (ii) each Lender designating any SPC hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such SPC during such period of forbearance. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this <u>Section 9.05</u>, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)(i) Any assignment, participation, entry into an Obligations Derivative Instrument or pledge by a Lender (A) to or with any Disqualified Institution or (B) in the case of any assignment and/or participation to any Person, without the Borrower Representative's consent to the extent the Borrower Representative's consent is required under this <u>Section 9.05</u> (and, if applicable, not deemed to have been given pursuant to <u>Section 9.05(b)(i)(A)</u>), in each case, shall be null and void unless, solely in the case of any assignment, solely to the extent that there has been any subsequent assignment by a Disqualified Institution or any such other Person to an Eligible Assignee that complies with the requirements of <u>Section 9.05(b)</u>, in which case such subsequent assignment will be deemed to be a valid and enforceable assignment for the purposes hereof; and Holdings, Intermediate Dutch Holdings and each Borrower shall each be entitled to seek specific performance to unwind any such assignment, participation, Obligations Derivative Instrument or pledge and/or specifically enforce this <u>Section 9.05(f)</u> in addition to injunctive relief (without posting a bond or presenting evidence of irreparable harm) or any other remedy available to any Borrower at law or in equity; it being understood and agreed that the Borrowers, Holdings and its subsidiaries will suffer irreparable harm if any Lender breaches any obligation under this <u>Section 9.05</u> as it relates to any assignment or participation to a Disqualified Person, any entry into any Obligations Derivative Instrument with any Disqualified Person, the pledge or assignment of any security interest in any Loan or Commitment to a Disqualified Person and/or any assignment or participation of, or pledge or assignment of a security interest in, any Loan or Commitment to any Person to whom the Borrower Representative's consent is required but not obtained. Nothing in this <u>Section 9.05(f)</u> shall be deemed to prejudice any right or remedy that Holdings, Intermediate Dutch Holdings or any Borrower may otherwise have at law or equity. The Administrative Agent may make the list of Disqualified Institutions available on a confidential basis in accordance with <u>Section 9.13</u> to any Lender who specifically requests a copy thereof, and such Lender may provide such list of Disqualified Institutions to any potential assignee or participant or counterparty to any Obligations Derivative Instrument who agrees to keep such list confidential in accordance with <u>Section 9.13</u> solely for the purpose of permitting such Person to verify whether such Person (or any Affiliate thereof) constitutes a Disqualified Institution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)If any assignment or participation under this <u>Section 9.05</u> is made to any Disqualified Institution and/or any Affiliate of any Disqualified Institution (other than any Competitor Debt Fund Affiliate) and/or any other Person to whom the Borrower Representative's consent is required but not obtained, in each case, without the Borrower Representative's prior written consent (any such person, a "<u>Disqualified Person</u>"), then the Applicable Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Person and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any

The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative and any applicable Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent of such set-off or application, as applicable; provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

Section 1.24.<u>Certain ERISA Matters</u>. Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)such Lender is not using "plan assets" (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender's entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender's entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,

cclxxxvii

WEIL\100667150\8\65494.0003

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)(i) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a "Qualified Professional Asset Manager" (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (ii) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (iii) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (iv) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender's entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between any Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding paragraph is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding paragraph, such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of Intermediate Dutch Holdings or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender's entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

Section 1.25.<u>Judgment Currency</u>. If, for the purpose 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 the Administrative 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 the Borrower Representative in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the "<u>Judgment Currency</u>") other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the "<u>Agreement Currency</u>"), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent 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 the Administrative Agent from the Borrower Representative in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower Representative agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower Representative (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable Requirements of Law).

Section 1.26.<u>Parallel Debt</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)For the purpose of this <u>Section 9.26</u>, "<u>Principal Obligations</u>" means each Loan Party's payment obligations to one or more Secured Parties under or in connection with the Loan Documents (but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding each Parallel Debt).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Non-US Collateral Agent (and, where applicable, by way of an abstract acknowledgement of debt (abstraktes

cclxxxviii

WEIL\100667150\8\65494.0003

------

Schuldanerkenntnis)) amounts equal to its Principal Obligations as they may exist from time to time (each a "<u>Parallel Debt</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Each Parallel Debt will become due and payable at the same time as the corresponding Principal Obligation becomes due and payable and in the same currency as the corresponding Principal Obligation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)The rights of the Non-US Collateral Agent under each Parallel Debt are its own claims to receive payment from the relevant Loan Party, several and independent from any right that any Secured Party may have under the Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Each Parallel Debt of a Loan Party shall be decreased to the extent that the corresponding Principal Obligation has been irrevocably and unconditionally paid or discharged, and each Principal Obligation of a Loan Party shall be decreased to the extent that the corresponding Parallel Debt has been irrevocably and unconditionally paid or discharged, in each case provided that the Parallel Debts of a Loan Party shall never exceed its Principal Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)For the purpose of this <u>Section 9.26</u>, the Non-US Collateral Agent acts in its own name and not as agent, trustee or representative of the Secured Parties. The Non-US Collateral Agent shall hold any Lien governed by the laws of the Netherlands and securing any Parallel Debt in its own name as creditor of the Parallel Debts and not on trust or otherwise as agent, trustee or representative of the Secured Parties.

Section 1.27.<u>Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs</u>. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Derivative Transaction or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, "<u>QFC Credit Support</u>", and each such QFC, a "<u>Supported QFC</u>"), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the "<u>US Special Resolution Regimes</u>") in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the US or any other state of the US): in the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a "<u>Covered Party</u>") becomes subject to a proceeding under a US Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the US Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the US or a state of the US. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a US Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the US Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the US or a state of the US. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

Section 1.28.<u>Erroneous Payments</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender or Issuing Bank that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender or Issuing Bank from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a

"<u>Payment</u>") were erroneously transmitted to such Lender or Issuing Bank (whether or not known to such Lender or Issuing Bank), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or Issuing Bank under this Section 9.28(a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a "<u>Payment Notice</u>") or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Each party hereto agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender or Issuing Bank that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender or Issuing Bank with respect to such amount, (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower or any other Loan Party except to the extent such erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is, and solely with respect to the amount of such erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received from or on behalf of such Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of prepaying, repaying, discharge or otherwise satisfying such Obligations and (z) this Section 9.28 shall not in any way be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for) the Obligations owed by any Borrower or any other Loan Party under the Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Each party's obligations under this Section 9.28 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.
