At-Will Employment, Proprietary Rights, Non-Disclosure & No Conflicts Agreement

  
 Exhibit 10.17

  
 As a condition of my employment with Dolby Laboratories, Inc., its
subsidiaries, affiliates, successors or assigns (together the “Company”), and in consideration of my employment with the Company and my receipt of the compensation now and hereafter paid to me by Company, I agree to the following,
effective immediately prior to such time that the Securities and Exchange Commission declares the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 effective (“Effective Time”): 
  

	I.	AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT 

  
 I UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MY EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY IS FOR AN UNSPECIFIED DURATION AND CONSTITUTES “AT-WILL” EMPLOYMENT. I ALSO
UNDERSTAND THAT ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNAUTHORIZED AND NOT VALID UNLESS OBTAINED IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE COMPANY. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP MAY BE TERMINATED AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT
GOOD CAUSE OR FOR ANY OR NO CAUSE, AT THE OPTION EITHER OF THE COMPANY OR ME, WITH OR WITHOUT NOTICE. 
  

	II.	EMPLOYEE PROPRIETARY RIGHTS & NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT 

  
 I recognize that, as part of its business, it is important that the Company initiate, make and develop technological innovations and inventions, create
copyrightable works, develop valuable information and trade secrets, and protect its legal rights in such matters. Therefore, in consideration of my employment by the Company, I hereby agree: 
  
 1. To maintain in strictest confidence, both during the term of my employment
and thereafter, all confidential technical and business information, trade secrets, inventions and innovations and unpublished copyrightable works of the Company, its successors or assigns, and my co-workers, either learned or developed by me during
the term of my employment; and 
  
 2. To promptly disclose and
assign all rights to the Company, its successors or assigns, in any and all inventions or innovations that are conceived or first actually reduced to practice by me, either alone or jointly with others, during my term of employment by the Company
after the Effective Time; except that I need not assign to the Company title in any invention or innovation that either: 
  
 a. does not relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice (1) to the business of the Company or (2) to the Company’s
actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development (collectively, the “Business”), or 

 b. does not result from any work performed by me for the Company and was developed
without using the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade-secret information, unless either (1) the invention relates at the time of conception or reduction to practice to the Business, or (2) full title in the United States to the
invention is required by contract between the Company and the United States or any of its agencies. 
  
 I understand that all those disclosures of my inventions and innovations made to the Company under this paragraph for which I need not assign title to the Company shall be received in confidence by the Company.

  
 3. That any inventions, products, processes, apparatus,
designs, improvements, or business related suggestions and information conceived, discovered, made or developed by me, solely or jointly with others, after my termination of employment with the Company that includes or uses the firm’s trade
secrets or confidential information shall belong to the Company and I agree to assign any and all rights in such items to the Company. 
  
 4. To promptly disclose to the Company all copyrightable works, including, but not limited to all computer programs and accessory materials, created by
me, either alone or jointly with others, during my term of employment by the Company after the Effective Time resulting from work performed by me for the Company; and to assign to the Company, its successors and assigns, the entire copyright in any
and all such works and to execute such instruments or transfer as the Company may require to perfect its proprietary interest in such copyrights under the Copyright Law of the United States or otherwise, except that I need not assign to the Company
the copyright in any work for which no trade secret information of the Company was used which does not relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice (1) to the business of the Company or (2) to the Company’s actual or demonstrably
anticipated research or development. 
  
 5. To execute all
documents which the firm may consider necessary to carry out this Agreement, including domestic and foreign patent applications prepared at the expense of the firm and formal assignments to the firm of all rights in such inventions and patent
applications and the patents issued thereon together with all divisions, continuations, and reissues thereof, to submit to a reasonable and confidential review process under which the firm may determine any issues as may arise under this Agreement.

  
 6. That any breaches of this Agreement pertaining to
inventions and the like, confidential information, protected trade secrets and non-solicitation will cause the firm irreparable injury and damages in an amount difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, in addition to any other relief and damages to which
the firm may be entitled, I agree that the Company shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief by any competent court. 
  
 7. I understand this Agreement does not apply to an invention which qualifies fully under the provisions of California Labor Code section 2870(a). That
section provides: 
  
 Any provision in an employment agreement
which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the 

 
employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for
those inventions that either: (1) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer; or (2) Result from any work
performed by the employee for the employer. 
  

	III.	COMPANY COVENANTS 

  
 The Company agrees that I may use the Company’s equipment, supplies, and facilities to conduct research and development on my own behalf (“RMD
R&D”) and that, if during my employment with the Company, I conceive or reduce to practice an invention that I need not assign to the Company under 2 above, including, without limitation, in the course of RMD R&D, all intellectual
property rights in such invention shall belong to me and is not a work for hire and is not assigned to the Company pursuant to this Agreement. 
  

	IV.	CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY 

  
 I agree to adhere to the Conflict of Interest Policy of Company as set forth in this Article IV; provided that it is understood that no conflict of
interest exists based on (i) my performance of RMD R&D under Article III of this Agreement, (ii) any agreements in place between the Company and me as of the Effective Time, (iii) any lease arrangements between the Company and me that are
contemplated by the Company and me as of the Effective Time and any modification or renewal thereof; and (iv) my use, registration, or renewal of any form of the name “Dolby” in accordance with Section 2.2(b) of the Asset Contribution
Agreement entered into as of November 19, 2004. 
  
 Subject to the
foregoing: 
  
 The Company expects me to avoid situations that
create an actual or potential conflict between personal interests and those of the Company. A conflict of interest exists when my loyalties or actions are divided between the Company and a competitor, business partner, collaborator, manufacturer,
supplier, licensee, or customer. If I am unsure whether a certain transaction, activity, or relationship constitutes a conflict of interest, I shall discuss it with a member of management for clarification. The President of the Company must approve
any exceptions to this guideline. Some examples of the more common conflicts that I must avoid include, but are not limited to: 
  

	 	•	Working for a competitor, supplier, licensee, or customer while employed by the Company 

  

	 	•	Engaging in self-employment in competition with the Company or soliciting competitors or customers to participate in competing outside business relationships

  

	 	•	Using proprietary or confidential Company information for personal gain or to the Company’s detriment 

	 	•	Having a direct financial interest in a competitor, customer, licensee, or supplier that is greater than a 10% percent ownership 

  

	 	•	Committing the Company to give its financial or other support to any outside activity or organization without appropriate authorization 

  

	 	•	Acquiring “Friends and Family” stock from licensees and/or other business partners 

  
 Acceptance of Gifts and Gift-Giving 
  
 Soliciting gifts, entertainment, favors, money, loans, credits, preferential discounts or services from competitors,
customers, licensees, suppliers, or potential suppliers is expressly prohibited. 
  
 Accepting personal gifts or entertainment (such as another company’s stock, computer software, hardware) of significant value from competitors, customers, licensees, suppliers, or potential suppliers is also
prohibited. It follows that accepting such gifts and reselling them for personal gain is expressly prohibited. 
  
 Acceptance of occasional personal gifts of nominal value (such as invitations to lunch, candy, food baskets, or flowers) from competitors, customers,
licensees, suppliers, or potential suppliers is generally allowable. When it is deemed inappropriate to accept a gift, it should be declined graciously. 
  

	V.	MISCELLANEOUS 

  
 1. Governing Law; Consent to Personal Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California. The Company and I
hereby expressly consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the City and County of San Francisco, California for any lawsuit filed there against me by the Company arising from or relating to this Agreement.

  
 2. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the
entire agreement and understanding between the Company and me relating to the subject matter herein and supersedes as of the Effective Time all prior discussions, representations or agreements between us including, but not limited to, the Employment
Agreement between Dolby Laboratories, Inc. and me dated July 10, 1978, as amended. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in writing signed by the President of
the Company and me. Any subsequent change or changes in my duties, salary or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement. 
  
 3. Severability. If one or more of the provisions in this Agreement are deemed void by law, then the remaining provisions will continue in full
force and effect. 
  
 4. Successors and Assigns. This
Agreement will be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives and will be for the benefit of the Company, its successors, and its assigns.

 2. THE REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY. 
  
 2.1 Commitment to Lend. 
  
 2.1.1. Domestic Revolving Credit Loans.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Credit Agreement, each of the Lenders severally agrees to lend to the Domestic Borrowers, and the Domestic Borrowers may borrow, repay, and reborrow from time to time, from the Closing Date up to
but not including the Maturity Date, upon notice by the Domestic Borrowing Administrator on behalf of the Domestic Borrowers to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 2.6, such sums in Dollars as are requested by the Domestic
Borrowers (each, a “Domestic Revolving Credit Loan”) in an aggregate principal amount outstanding (as to all Domestic Borrowers) not exceeding at any one time the amount of such Lender’s Domestic Commitment minus such
Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the sum of the Maximum Draw Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations; provided that at the time of the making of such Domestic Revolving Credit Loan and after giving effect thereto, the sum of the
then outstanding principal amounts of all Domestic Revolving Credit Loans plus the Maximum Draw Amount plus all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations shall not exceed the Total Domestic Commitment. The Domestic Revolving Credit Loans made
pursuant to this Section 2.1.1 shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Lender’s Commitment Percentage. 
  

 25 

 2.1.2. Foreign Revolving Credit Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Credit Agreement, each of the Lenders severally agrees to lend to the Foreign Borrowers, and the Foreign Borrowers may borrow, repay, and reborrow from time to time, from the Closing Date up to but not including the Maturity Date, upon
notice by the Foreign Borrowing Administrator on behalf of the Foreign Borrowers to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 2.6, such sums in Dollars or one or more Alternative Currencies as are requested by the Foreign Borrowers
(each, a “Foreign Revolving Credit Loan”) in an aggregate principal amount outstanding (as to all Foreign Borrowers) not exceeding at any one time the amount of such Lender’s Foreign Commitment; provided that at the time
of the making of such Foreign Revolving Credit Loan and after giving effect thereto, the sum of the then outstanding principal amounts of all Foreign Revolving Credit Loans shall not at any time exceed the Total Foreign Commitment. The Foreign
Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.1.2 shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Lender’s Commitment Percentage. 
  
 2.2 Unused Line Fees. The Domestic Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Lender an unused line fee
(the “Domestic Unused Line Fee”) on the average daily unused amount of such Lender’s Total Percentage of the Unused Domestic Commitment, from and including the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Lender that becomes a
Lender after the date hereof pursuant to Section 15.2, the effective date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender) to but excluding the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates, at a rate per
annum equal to the Applicable Margin. The Foreign Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Lender an unused line fee (the “Foreign Unused Line Fee” and, together with the Domestic Unused Line
Fee, the “Unused Line Fees”) on the average daily unused amount of such Lender’s Total Percentage of the Unused Foreign Commitment, from and including the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Lender that becomes a Lender after
the date hereof pursuant to Section 15.2, the effective date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender) to but excluding the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates, at a rate per annum equal to
the Applicable Margin. Accrued Unused Line Fees shall be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the date on which the Commitment of any Lender terminates, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All Unused Line
Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 
  
 2.3 Foreign Credit Increase. The Borrowers shall have the option, exercisable no more than two (2) times
during each calendar year upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice (“Notice of Foreign Credit Increase”) from the Domestic Borrowing Administrator and the Foreign Borrowing Administrator to the
Administrative Agent, to decrease the Total Domestic Commitment and increase the Total Foreign Commitment by a corresponding amount (each such increase in the Total Foreign Commitment, a “Foreign Credit Increase”) by up to $5,000,000 in
the aggregate; provided, that (i) each such Foreign Credit Increase shall be in the amount of at least $500,000 or in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof and (ii) immediately prior to and after giving effect to each Foreign Credit
Increase, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Domestic Borrowing Administrator and the Foreign Borrowing Administrator shall have delivered to the 

  

 26 

 
Administrative Agent a statement certifying as to the absence of a Default or Event of Default. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, each Lender
agrees that, as of the effective date of such Foreign Credit Increase specified in the applicable Notice of Foreign Credit Increase, (a) such Lender’s Foreign Commitment shall be automatically increased by an amount equal to such Lender’s
Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Foreign Credit Increase and (b) such Lender’s Domestic Commitment shall be permanently reduced by an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Foreign Credit
Increase. No reduction in the Total Domestic Commitment effected pursuant to this Section 2.3 may be reinstated. 
  
 2.4 The Revolving Credit Notes. 
  
 2.4.1. Domestic Revolving Credit Notes. The Domestic Revolving Credit Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by a single
promissory note of the Domestic Borrowers in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each, a “Domestic Revolving Credit Note”), dated the Closing Date (or such other date on which a Lender may become a party hereto in
accordance with Section 15.2 hereof), payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Domestic Commitment or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Domestic Revolving Credit Loans made by such Lender, plus
interest accrued thereon, and otherwise completed with appropriate insertions. Each Domestic Revolving Credit Note shall evidence the joint and several obligation of the Domestic Borrowers to pay the amount of each Lender’s Domestic Commitment
or, if less, such Lender’s pro rata share of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Domestic Revolving Credit Loans made to the Domestic Borrowers, together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 2.5. The Domestic Borrowers
irrevocably authorize each Lender to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Domestic Revolving Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal on such Lender’s Domestic Revolving Credit Notes, an
appropriate notation on such Lender’s Revolving Credit Note Record reflecting the principal amount of, interest rate on and duration of Interest Period of each such Domestic Revolving Credit Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of each such
payment. Absent manifest error, the outstanding amount of the Domestic Revolving Credit Loans set forth on such Lender’s Revolving Credit Note Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to such
Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on such Lender’s Revolving Credit Note Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder or under any Domestic Revolving Credit
Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Domestic Revolving Credit Note when due. 
  
 2.4.2. Foreign Revolving Credit Notes. The Foreign Revolving Credit Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by a single
promissory note of the Foreign Borrowers in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (each, a “Foreign Revolving Credit Note”), dated the Closing Date (or such other date on which a Lender may become a party hereto in
accordance with Section 15 hereof), payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount in Dollars equal to such Lender’s Foreign Commitment or, if less, the outstanding Dollar Equivalent amount of all Foreign Revolving Credit Loans made
by such Lender, plus interest accrued thereon, and otherwise completed with appropriate insertions. Each Foreign Revolving Credit Note shall evidence the joint and 

  

 27 

 
several obligations of the Foreign Borrowers to pay the amount of each Lender’s Foreign Commitment or, if less, such Lender’s pro rata shares of
the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Domestic Revolving Credit Loans made to the Foreign Borrowers, together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 2.5. Any Foreign Revolving Credit Note issued by Lionbridge BV will not be issued in
a denomination of less than the Dollar Equivalent of EUR 50,000. The Foreign Borrowers irrevocably authorize each Lender to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Foreign Revolving Credit Loan or at the time of
receipt of any payment of principal on such Lender’s Foreign Revolving Credit Notes, an appropriate notation on such Lender’s Revolving Credit Note Record reflecting the principal amount of, interest rate on and duration of Interest Period
of each such Foreign Revolving Credit Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of each such payment. Absent manifest error, the outstanding Dollar Equivalent amount of the Foreign Revolving Credit Loans set forth on such Lender’s Revolving
Credit Note Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to such Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on such Lender’s Revolving Credit Note Record
shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Foreign Borrowers hereunder or under any Foreign Revolving Credit Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Foreign Revolving Credit Note when due. 
  
 2.5 Interest on Revolving Credit Loans. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 5.10, the Domestic Borrowers shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Domestic Revolving Credit Loan made by each Lender to the Domestic Borrowers, and the Foreign Borrowers shall pay interest on the
unpaid principal amount of each Foreign Revolving Credit Loan made by each Lender to the Foreign Borrowers, in the Currency of such Revolving Credit Loan, from the date of such Revolving Credit Loan until such principal amount shall be paid in full,
at the following rates per annum: 
  
 (a) If such Revolving
Credit Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, payable quarterly in arrears on the first Quarterly Date after the Drawdown Date of such Base Rate Loan and on each Quarterly Date thereafter,
without notice or demand, so long as such Base Rate Loan remains outstanding or until such Base Rate Loan is converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan or IBOR Rate Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 (b) If such Revolving Credit Loan is a LIBOR Rate Loan, for the period
commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of each Interest Period therefor, at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin, payable in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date for such LIBOR Rate Loan. 
  
 (c) If such Revolving
Credit Loan is an IBOR Rate Loan, for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of each Interest Period therefor, at a rate per annum equal to the IBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable
Margin, payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such IBOR Rate Loan. 
  
 2.6 Requests for Revolving Credit Loans. To request a Revolving Credit Loan, the Domestic Borrowing Administrator, on behalf of the Domestic Borrowers, and the Foreign 

  

 28 

 
Borrowing Administrator, on behalf of the Foreign Borrowers, shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent (or telephonic notice confirmed in a
writing in form acceptable to the Administrative Agent and signed by the Domestic Borrowing Administrator or Foreign Borrowing Administrator, as applicable) of each Revolving Credit Loan requested hereunder (each, a “Loan Request”)
no less than (a) one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Drawdown Date of any Base Rate Loan and (b) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date of any LIBOR Rate Loan or any IBOR Rate Loan. Each such written Loan Request shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit C and shall be delivered by facsimile; provided, the Borrowing Administrators have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent a Facsimile Indemnity Letter as required by the Administrative Agent.
Each such telephonic and written Loan Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the following information: 
  

	 	i.	the names of the Borrowers of such Revolving Credit Loans; 

  

	 	ii.	the aggregate amount of the requested Revolving Credit Loans; 

  

	 	iii.	whether such Loans are Domestic Revolving Credit Loans and/or Foreign Revolving Credit Loans; 

  

	 	iv.	the Drawdown Dates, which shall be a Business Day; 

  

	 	v.	whether such Loans are to be Base Rate Loans, LIBOR Rate Loans and/or IBOR Rate Loans; 

  

	 	vi.	in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans or IBOR Rate Loans, the duration of the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto; 

  

	 	vii.	in the case of Foreign Revolving Credit Loans, the Currency of such Foreign Revolving Credit Loans; and 

  

	 	viii.	the location and number of the account to which funds are to be disbursed. 

  
 If no election as to the Type of Revolving Credit Loan is specified, then the requested Revolving Credit Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. If no Currency is
specified with respect to any Foreign Revolving Credit Loan, then the requested Foreign Revolving Credit Loan shall be advanced in Dollars. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested LIBOR Rate Loan or IBOR Rate Loan, then the
requesting Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Loan Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details
thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Loan. Each Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the requesting Borrowers. Each Loan Request shall be for a minimum aggregate amount of $500,000 or
an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. 
  
 2.7
Conversion Options. 
  
 2.7.1.
Conversion to Different Type of Revolving Credit Loan. The Domestic Borrowing Administrator, on behalf of any Domestic Borrower, and the 

  

 29 

 
Foreign Borrowing Administrator, on behalf of any Foreign Borrower, may elect from time to time to convert any outstanding Domestic Revolving Credit Loan or
Foreign Revolving Credit Loan, as applicable, to a Revolving Credit Loan of another Type, provided that (a) with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan or an IBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, the applicable Borrowing
Administrator shall give the Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice of such election; (b) with respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan or an IBOR Rate Loan, the applicable
Borrowing Administrator shall give the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of such election; (c) with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan or an IBOR Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan, such
conversion shall only be made on the last day of the Interest Period therefor; (d) no Domestic Borrower may convert a Domestic Revolving Credit Loan to an IBOR Rate Loan; (e) no Foreign Borrower may convert a Foreign Revolving Credit Loan
denominated in an Alternative Currency to a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Base Rate Loan and (f) no Revolving Credit Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan or an IBOR Rate Loan if, with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent has accelerated payment of the Loans pursuant to clause (1) of Section 13.1(n) and such acceleration has not been rescinded by the Required Lenders. To make an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable Borrowing
Administrator shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Loan Request would be required under Section 2.6 if such Borrowing Administrator were requesting a Revolving Credit Loan of the Type so elected.
Each such telephonic Conversion Request shall be confirmed promptly in writing (whether by facsimile or email) in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and signed by the applicable Borrowing Administrator. On the date on which
such conversion is being made each Lender shall take such action as is necessary to transfer its Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loans to its Domestic Lending Office or its LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be. All or any part of
outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of any Type may be converted into Revolving Credit Loans of another Type as provided herein, provided that any partial conversion shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or an integral multiple
of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Conversion Request relating to the conversion of a Revolving Credit Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan or an IBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by the applicable Borrowers or Borrowing Administrator. 
  
 2.7.2. Continuation of Type of Revolving Credit
Loan. Any Revolving Credit Loan of any Type may be continued as a Revolving Credit Loan of the same Type upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by the applicable Borrowing Administrator with the
notice provisions contained in Section 2.7.1; provided that no LIBOR Rate Loan or IBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such if (with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders) the Administrative Agent has accelerated payment of the
Loans pursuant to clause (1) of Section 13.1(n) and such acceleration has not been rescinded by the Required Lenders, but shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan denominated in the Dollar Equivalent on the last day of the first Interest
Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any such acceleration. In the event that a Borrowing Administrator fails to provide a timely notice with respect to the continuation of any LIBOR Rate Loan or IBOR Rate Loan as such 

  

 30 

 
before the end of the Interest Period therefor, then the applicable Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of the same duration as the
Interest Period then in effect. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly when any such automatic conversion contemplated by this Section 2.7.2 is scheduled to occur. 
  
 2.8 Funds for Revolving Credit Loan. 
  
 2.8.1. Funding Procedures. Not later than 11:00 a.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the
proposed Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loans, each of the Lenders will make available to the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s Office, in Same Day Funds, the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the
amount of the requested Revolving Credit Loans. Upon receipt from each Lender of such amount, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 10 and 11, to the extent applicable, the Administrative Agent will make available
to the Domestic Borrowing Administrator (in the case of Domestic Revolving Credit Loans) and to the Foreign Borrowing Administrator (in the case of Foreign Revolving Credit Loans) the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Loans made available to
the Administrative Agent by the Lenders, by promptly crediting such amount, in like funds, to the account specified in the applicable Loan Request. The failure or refusal of any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent at the aforesaid
time and place on any Drawdown Date the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Credit Loans shall not relieve any other Lender from its several obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of
such other Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any requested Revolving Credit Loans. 
  
 2.8.2. Advances by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, unless notified to the contrary by any Lender prior
to a Drawdown Date, assume that such Lender has made available to the Administrative Agent on such Drawdown Date the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Credit Loans to be made on such Drawdown Date, and the
Administrative Agent may (but it shall not be required to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Domestic Borrowing Administrator or the Foreign Borrowing Administrator, as applicable, a corresponding amount. If any Lender makes
available to the Administrative Agent such amount on a date after such Drawdown Date, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (a) the average computed for the period referred to in clause (c)
below, of the weighted average interest rate paid by the Administrative Agent for federal funds acquired by the Administrative Agent during each day included in such period, times (b) the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of
such Revolving Credit Loans, times (c) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including such Drawdown Date to the date on which the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Revolving
Credit Loans shall become immediately available to the Administrative Agent, and the denominator of which is 360. A statement of the Administrative Agent submitted to such Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be
prima facie evidence of the amount due and owing to the Administrative Agent by such Lender. If the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loans is 

  

 31 

 
not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days following such Drawdown Date, the Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to recover such amount from the Borrowers on demand, with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrowers until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the rate per annum
applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans made on such Drawdown Date. 
  
 3. REPAYMENT OF THE REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS. 
  
 3.1 Maturity. The Domestic Borrowers promise to pay on the Maturity Date, and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Maturity Date, the full principal amount of all Domestic Revolving Credit Loans
outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Administrative Agent for the pro rata account of the Lenders. The Foreign Borrowers promise to pay on the Maturity Date, and there shall become
absolutely due and payable on the Maturity Date, the full principal amount of all Foreign Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Administrative Agent for the pro
rata account of the Lenders. 
  
 3.2 Certain Mandatory
Prepayments. 
  
 3.2.1. On a daily
basis and upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Currency Valuation Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly determine (a) the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans, (b) the then aggregate
outstanding principal amounts of all Foreign Revolving Credit Loans (the “Foreign Revolving Credit Exposure”) and (c) the then aggregate amount of all LC Liabilities, for which purpose the outstanding principal amount of any Foreign
Revolving Credit Loan, and the outstanding amount of any LC Liabilities, denominated in any Alternative Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent (determined on the Business Day on which the Administrative Agent shall have received such
Currency Valuation Notice prior to 11:00 a.m. New York time (or, if received by the Administrative Agent after such time on any Business Day, as of the next succeeding Business Day), or as of such Quarterly Date, as the case may be), of the amount
of such outstanding principal of Foreign Revolving Credit Loans and of such LC Liabilities. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowing Administrators and the Lenders of such determination. The Administrative Agent may, but shall
not be required to, make more than one valuation determination pursuant to Currency Valuation Notices within any rolling three-month period. 
  
 3.2.2. If, on the date of such determination, the Foreign Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Total Foreign Commitment, the
Foreign Borrowers shall, promptly but in any event within five Business Days of the receipt by the Foreign Borrowing Administrator of a written request by any Lender (through the Administrative Agent), prepay Foreign Revolving Credit Loans in an
amount so that after giving effect thereto the Foreign Revolving Credit Exposure (determined as set forth above) does not exceed the Total Foreign Commitment, together with any amounts payable under Section 5.9. 
  

 32 

 3.2.3. If, on the date of such determination, the aggregate amount of all LC
Liabilities exceeds $10,000,000, the Domestic Borrowers shall, promptly but in any event within five Business Days of the receipt by the Domestic Borrowing Administrator of a written request by any Lender (through the Administrative Agent), deliver
to the Administrative Agent cash in the amount of such excess to be held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders as cash collateral for the LC Liabilities, such cash collateral to be released and returned to the Domestic Borrowing
Administrator at such time as the aggregate amount of all LC Liabilities (determined as set forth above) does not exceed $10,000,000. 
  
 3.2.4. Each prepayment of Foreign Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders,
in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amount of each Lender’s Foreign Revolving Credit Notes, with adjustments to the extent practicable to equalize any prior payments or repayments not exactly in
proportion. 
  
 3.3 Optional Prepayments of Revolving Credit
Loans. The Domestic Borrowers and the Foreign Borrowers shall have the right, at their election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Domestic Revolving Credit Loans and Foreign Revolving Credit Loans, respectively, as a whole or
in part, at any time without penalty or premium, provided that any full or partial prepayment of the outstanding amount of any LIBOR Rate Loans or IBOR Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.3 may be made only on the last day of the Interest
Period relating thereto. The applicable Borrowing Administrator shall give the Administrative Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m., Charlotte, North Carolina time, at least one (1) Business Day prior written notice of any proposed prepayment pursuant to
this Section 3.3 of Base Rate Loans, and three (3) Business Days’ notice of any proposed prepayment pursuant to this Section 3.3 of LIBOR Rate Loans or IBOR Rate Loans, in each case specifying the proposed date of prepayment of Revolving Credit
Loans and the principal amount to be prepaid. Each such partial prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be in an amount of $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire amount of the outstanding
Revolving Credit Loans), shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of prepayment and shall be applied, in the absence of contrary instructions by the applicable Borrowing Administrator, first to the
principal of Base Rate Loans, and then ratably to the principal of LIBOR Rate Loans and IBOR Rate Loans. Each prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders. 
  
 3.4 Parallel Debt. 
  
 (a) Without prejudice to the other provisions of the Loan Documents and
solely for purposes of ensuring the validity and binding effect of any security interest governed by Dutch law and granted or to be granted by LTI pursuant to the Loan Documents, LTI undertakes, as a separate and independent obligation to the
Administrative Agent, to pay to the Administrative Agent LTI’s Parallel Debt. 
  
 (b) For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto confirm that Section 3.4(a) means that (without prejudice to the other provisions of this Section 3.4), upon any outstanding amounts and other amounts under this
Credit Agreement (the “Accelerated Amounts”) being declared 

  

 33 

 
due and payable, a portion of the Parallel Debt in the same amount as the Accelerated Amounts shall be due and payable on terms which are the same as the
terms applying to the Accelerated Amounts. 
  
 (c) (i) LTI may not
pay its Parallel Debt other than at the instruction of, and in the manner determined by, the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (ii) Without prejudice to paragraph (c)(i) hereinabove, LTI shall be obliged to pay its Parallel Debt (or, if its Underlying Debts are due at different
times, amounts of its Parallel Debt corresponding to each such Underlying Debt) only when its Underlying Debts have become due in accordance with the Loan Documents. 
  
 (d) Any payment made, or amount recovered, in respect of LTI’s Parallel Debt shall reduce LTI’s Underlying Debt to
any Lender by the amount which that Lender is entitled to receive out of such payment or recovery under the Loan Documents. 
  
 4. LETTERS OF CREDIT. 
  
 4.1 Letter of Credit Commitments. 
  
 4.1.1. Commitment to Issue Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and the execution and delivery by
the Domestic Borrowing Administrator to any Lender hereunder as selected by the applicable Domestic Borrower(s) (the “LC Issuer”) of a letter of credit application for and on behalf of one or more Domestic Borrowers on the LC
Issuer’s customary form therefor (a “Letter of Credit Application”), the LC Issuer on behalf of the Lenders, and in reliance upon the agreement of the Lenders set forth in Section 4.1.4 and upon the representations and
warranties of the Obligors (other than the Foreign Borrowers) contained herein, agrees, in its individual capacity, to issue, extend and renew for the account of one or more of the Domestic Borrowers one or more standby or commercial letters of
credit in Dollars or an Alternative Currency (individually, a “Letter of Credit”), in such form as may be requested from time to time by the Domestic Borrowing Administrator for and on behalf of one or more of the Domestic Borrowers
and agreed to by the LC Issuer; provided, however, that, after giving effect to such request, (a) the sum of the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate Maximum Draw Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations shall not exceed
$10,000,000 at any one time and (b) the sum of (i) the Dollar Equivalent of the Maximum Draw Amount under all Letters of Credit plus all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of all Domestic Revolving Credit
Loans shall not exceed the Total Domestic Commitment at such time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the LC Issuer shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit for the account of any Foreign Borrower. Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall
constitute utilization of the Domestic Commitments. 
  
 4.1.2. Letter of Credit Applications. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, extension or renewal of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Domestic Borrowing Administrator, on behalf of the applicable
requesting Domestic Borrower(s), shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the selected LC Issuer, 

  

 34 

 
reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, extension or renewal, an applicable Letter of Credit Application. Each Letter of Credit
Application shall be completed to the satisfaction of the LC Issuer, on a form and accompanied by any required documentation satisfactory to the LC Issuer, which shall include, without limitation, the name of the Letter of Credit applicant, the name
of the Letter of Credit beneficiary, the name of the Letter of Credit account party or parties, the expiry date of the Letter of Credit, the Currency in which such Letter of Credit shall be issued, and other terms and conditions relevant thereto. In
the event that any provision of any Letter of Credit Application shall be inconsistent with any provision of this Credit Agreement, then the provisions of this Credit Agreement shall, to the extent of any such inconsistency, govern. 
  
 4.1.3. Terms of Letters of Credit. Each Letter
of Credit issued, amended, extended or renewed hereunder shall, among other things, (a) provide for the payment of sight drafts for honor thereunder when presented in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents
described therein, and (b) have an expiry date the earlier of (i) one year from the date such Letter of Credit is issued, extended or renewed, and (ii) the date which is ten (10) days (or, if the Letter of Credit is confirmed by a confirmer or
otherwise provides for one or more nominated persons, forty-five (45) days) prior to the Maturity Date. Each Letter of Credit so issued, extended or renewed shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993
Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500 or any successor version thereto adopted by the LC Issuer in the ordinary course of its business as a letter of credit issuer and in effect at the time of issuance of such Letter of
Credit (the “Uniform Customs”) or, in the case of a standby Letter of Credit, either the Uniform Customs or the International Standby Practices (ISP98), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590, or any successor code of
standby letter of credit practices among banks adopted by the LC Issuer in the ordinary course of its business as a standby letter of credit issuer and in effect at the time of issuance of such Letter of Credit. 
  
 4.1.4. Reimbursement Obligations of Lenders.
By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) by an LC Issuer, and without any further action on the part of such LC Issuer or the Lenders, such LC Issuer hereby grants to each Lender,
and each Lender hereby acquires from such LC Issuer, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. 
  
 Each Lender (other than the LC Issuer) severally agrees that
it shall be absolutely liable, without regard to the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or any other condition precedent whatsoever, to the extent of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage, to reimburse the LC Issuer on demand for the
amount of each draft paid by the LC Issuer under each Letter of Credit to the extent that such amount is not reimbursed by the Domestic Borrowers pursuant to Section 4.2 (such agreement for a Lender being called herein the “Letter of Credit
Participation” of such Lender). 
  

 35 

 4.1.5. Participations of Lenders. Each such payment made by a Lender shall
be treated as the purchase by such Lender of a participating interest in the Domestic Borrowers’ Reimbursement Obligation under Section 4.2 in an amount equal to such payment. Each Lender shall share in accordance with its participating
interest in any interest which accrues pursuant to Section 4.2. 
  
 4.2 Reimbursement Obligation of the Domestic Borrowers. In order to induce each LC Issuer to issue, amend, extend and renew each Letter of Credit and the Lenders to participate therein, the Domestic Borrowers hereby
jointly and severally agree to reimburse and pay to each LC Issuer, for the account of such LC Issuer, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued, amended, extended or renewed by such LC Issuer hereunder: 
  
 (a) except as otherwise expressly provided in Section
4.2(b), on the Business Day that the Domestic Borrowing Administrator receives notice from such LC Issuer that such LC Issuer has made a payment pursuant to a Letter of Credit (an “LC Disbursement”), if such notice is received
before 1:00 p.m. New York time, or if such notice is received after such time, on the Business Day immediately after the day that the Domestic Borrowing Administrator receives such notice, an amount equal to such LC Disbursement; provided,
that if such LC Disbursement is greater than $500,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof), the Domestic Borrowing Administrator may, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 11, request that such payment be financed with a borrowing of Domestic
Revolving Credit Loans in an equivalent aggregate amount (or, with respect to an LC Disbursement made in an Alternative Currency, the Dollar Equivalent of such LC Disbursement amount) and, to the extent so financed, the Domestic Borrowers’
obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced with the resulting Domestic Revolving Credit Loans; and 
  
 (b) upon a reduction (but not termination) of the Total Domestic Commitment to an amount less than the Maximum Draw Amount, an amount
equal to such difference, shall be delivered to and held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and the LC Issuer as cash collateral for all Reimbursement Obligations owing to such LC Issuer. 
  
 Each such payment shall be made to the LC Issuer in immediately available funds. Interest on
any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the Domestic Borrowers under this Section 4.2 at any time from the date such amounts become due and payable (whether as stated in this Section 4.2, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full (whether
before or after judgment) shall be payable to the LC Issuer on demand at the rate specified in Section 6.10 for overdue principal on the Revolving Credit Loans. 
  

4.3 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented or other demand for payment shall be made under any Letter of
Credit, the LC Issuer shall notify the Domestic Borrowing Administrator of the date and amount of the draft presented or demand for payment and of the date and time when it expects to pay such draft or honor such demand for payment. If the Domestic
Borrowers fail to reimburse the LC Issuer as provided in Section 4.2 on or before the date that such draft is paid or other payment is made by the LC Issuer, the LC Issuer may at any time thereafter notify the Lenders of the amount of any such
Unpaid Reimbursement 

  

 36 

 
Obligation. No later than 3:00 p.m. (Buffalo, New York time) on the Business Day next following the receipt of such notice, each Lender shall make available
to the LC Issuer, at the LC Issuer’s Office, in Same Day Funds, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation, together with an amount equal to the product of (a) the average, computed for the period referred
to in clause (c) below, of the weighted average interest rate paid by the LC Issuer for federal funds acquired by the LC Issuer during each day included in such period (or, if such Lender does not pay its Commitment Percentage within three (3) days
after it is payable hereunder, the Base Rate for all days commencing on the day that such amount was payable by such Lender), times (b) the amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation,
times (c) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including the date the LC Issuer paid the draft presented for honor or otherwise made payment to the date on which such Lender’s Commitment
Percentage of such Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation shall become immediately available to the LC Issuer, and the denominator of which is 360. The responsibility of the LC Issuer to the Domestic Borrowers and the Lenders shall be only to determine
that the documents (including each draft) delivered under each Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment shall be in conformity with such Letter of Credit; provided, that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any LC Issuer
from liability to the Domestic Borrowers or Guarantors to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages) suffered by any Domestic Borrower or any Guarantor that are caused by such LC Issuer’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit issued by such LC Issuer comply with the terms thereof. 
  
 4.4 Obligations Absolute. The Domestic Borrowers’ obligations to reimburse or pay each LC Issuer under Section 4.2 shall be
absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or any condition precedent whatsoever or any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Domestic Borrowers may
have or have had against the LC Issuer, any Lender or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit. Except in the event of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the LC Issuer or the Lenders, the Domestic Borrowers further jointly and severally agree
with the LC Issuer and the Lenders that the LC Issuer and the Lenders shall not be responsible for, and the Domestic Borrowers’ Reimbursement Obligations under Section 4.2 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or
genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Domestic Borrowers, the beneficiary of any Letter of
Credit or any financing institution or other party to which any Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of the Domestic Borrowers against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The LC Issuer
and the Lenders shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit. Nothing in this paragraph shall be
construed to excuse an LC Issuer from liability to the Domestic Borrowers to the extent of direct damages suffered by a Domestic Borrower that are caused by such LC Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to any of its
Letters of Credit. The Domestic Borrowers agree that any action taken or omitted by the LC Issuer or any Lender under or in connection with each Letter of Credit and the related drafts and documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or
willful misconduct, shall be binding upon the Domestic Borrowers and shall not result in any liability on the part of the LC Issuer or any Lender to the Domestic Borrowers. 
  

 37 

 4.5 Reliance by Issuer. To the extent not inconsistent with Section 4.4, the LC
Issuer shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any Letter of Credit, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement,
order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the LC
Issuer. The LC Issuer shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Credit Agreement unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it reasonably deems appropriate or it
shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The LC Issuer shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Credit Agreement in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lenders and all
future holders of the Revolving Credit Notes or of a Letter of Credit Participation. 
  
 4.6 Letter of Credit Fee. The Domestic Borrowers shall, on the date of issuance or any renewal of any Letter of Credit, pay a fronting fee (in each case, a “Letter of Credit Fee”)
to the Administrative Agent for account of the respective LC Issuer in respect of each standby Letter of Credit in an amount equal to Five Hundred Dollars ($500) in the case of each issuance and Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250) in the case of each
renewal for such Letter of Credit, payable on the date of issuance or renewal of such Letter of Credit, together with other reasonable and customary administrative and out-of-pocket costs charged by the LC Issuer, including amendment fees, drawing
fees and communication costs. 
  
 5. CERTAIN GENERAL
PROVISIONS. 
  
 5.1 Structuring Fee.
The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages a structuring fee (the “Structuring Fee”) calculated at the rate of 0.25% of the Total
Commitment. The Structuring Fee shall be payable in two equal installments, the first of which was paid by Borrowers on October 7, 2004 and the last of which shall be paid on the Closing Date. 
  
 5.2 Funds for Payments. 
  
 5.2.1. Payments to Administrative Agent. All
payments of principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligations, Fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent in Dollars or, with respect to a Foreign
Revolving Credit Loan or Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, in such Alternative Currency, for account of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s Office or at such other place that the
Administrative Agent may from time to time designate, in the case of Dollars at or about 11:00 A.M. (Buffalo, New York time or other local time at the place of payment), and in the case of any Alternative Currency at or about 1:00 p.m. local time

  

 38 

 
in the Principal Financial Center for such Alternative Currency (the “Applicable Time”) specified by the Administrative Agent, and in Same
Day Funds. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 A.M. in the case of payments of Dollars, or after the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, shall in each
case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. 
  
 5.2.2. No Offset, etc. All payments by the Borrowers hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without
recoupment, setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or
levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the Borrowers are compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation is imposed upon the Borrowers with respect
to any amount payable by Borrowers hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrowers will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent, on the date on which such
amount is due and payable hereunder or under such other Loan Document, such additional amount in Dollars (or, with respect to any Loan or Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, in such Alternative Currency) as shall be necessary to
enable the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to receive the same net amount which the Lenders or the Administrative Agent would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon the Borrowers; provided, that no such
additional amounts shall be payable in respect of (i) any taxes imposed on a Lender or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent by reason of any connection between the Lender or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent and the taxing
jurisdiction other than entering into this Credit Agreement and receiving payments hereunder or (ii) any taxes imposed by reason of a Lender’s or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent’s failure to comply with the provisions of
Section 5.2.3. The Borrowers will deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Borrowers hereunder or under such other
Loan Document. 
  
 5.2.3 Tax
Matters. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agree to comply with any certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement if (i) such compliance is required by law, regulation, administrative
practice or an applicable treaty as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, deduction or withholding of any taxes for which any Borrower is required to pay additional amounts pursuant to Section 5.2.2 hereof and (ii) at least
sixty (60) days prior to the first payment date with respect to which a Borrower shall apply this Section 5.2.3, such Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent that a Lender or the Administrative Agent will be required to comply with
such requirement. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agree to use reasonable efforts (including reasonable efforts to change its lending office) to avoid the imposition of any taxes for which a Borrower is required to pay additional amounts
pursuant to Section 5.2.2; provided, however, that such efforts shall not require a Lender or the Administrative Agent to incur additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens that the Lender or (as the case may be) the 

  

 39 

 
Administrative Agent considers in its good faith reasonable judgment to be material. Each Lender will, within three Business Days after obtaining knowledge
thereof, notify the Foreign Borrowing Administrator if such Lender is no longer a PMP or no longer satisfies the requirements of any of the categories listed on Schedule A. 
  
 5.3 Computations. All computations of interest on the Loans and of Fees shall be based on a 360-day
year (with the exception of interest based on the Base Rate, which shall be computed on a 365 or 366 day year basis, as the case may be, or calculations for certain Alternative Currencies which may require a 365-day year basis) and paid for the
actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans and IBOR Rate Loans, whenever a
payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. The
outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans as reflected on the Revolving Credit Note Records from time to time shall be considered correct and binding on the applicable Borrowers, absent manifest error, unless within fifteen (15) Business Days
after receipt of any notice from the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders of such outstanding amount, the applicable Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent or such Lender to the contrary. 
  
 5.4 Inability to Determine LIBOR Rate or IBOR Rate. In
the event, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any LIBOR Rate Loan or IBOR Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent receives notice from the Required Lenders that the Required Lenders have determined that (a) quotations of
interest rates for the applicable deposits referred to in the definitions of LIBOR Rate or IBOR Rate, as applicable, are not being provided in the relevant amounts or Currencies or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining interest
rates for LIBOR Rate Loans or IBOR Rate Loans as provided herein, or (b) the LIBOR Rate or IBOR Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining
their LIBOR Rate Loans or IBOR Rate Loans in such Currency during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders) to the
Borrowers and the Lenders. In such event (i) any Loan Request or Conversion Request with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans or IBOR Rate Loans shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for Base Rate Loans, (ii) each LIBOR Rate Loan or
IBOR Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period relating thereto, become a Base Rate Loan, and (iii) the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans or IBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until the
Administrative Agent determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrowing Administrators and the Lenders. 
  
 5.5 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions
herein, if any present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or IBOR Rate Loans, such Lender shall forthwith give notice
of such circumstances to both Borrowing Administrators and the Administrative Agent and thereupon (a) the commitment of such Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans or IBOR Rate Loans or convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans or IBOR Rate Loans shall
forthwith be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and 

  

 40 

 
maintain LIBOR Rate Loans and IBOR Rate Loans in such currency (in which case this Section 5.5 shall no longer apply) and (b) unless and until such Lender
notifies the Borrowing Administrators (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that such circumstances no longer exist, such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding as LIBOR Rate Loans or IBOR Rate Loans, if any, shall be converted
automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans or IBOR Rate Loans or within such earlier period as may be required by law. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay the Administrative Agent for
the account of such Lender, within ten Business Days after the Borrowing Administrators receive a written demand from such Lender therefor, any additional costs incurred by such Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Section 5.5, to
the extent such costs are payable under Section 5.6 or 5.9, and subject to the provisions of Section 5.8. In the event it becomes unlawful to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or IBOR Rate Loans as described in this Section 5.5, Lender shall make
reasonable efforts to establish and designate an alternate Applicable Lending Office if doing so would allow Lender to avoid such unlawfulness, provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.5 shall require any Lender to establish an
alternate Applicable Lending Office if doing so would be unlawful or would otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in such Lender’s reasonable discretion. 
  
 5.6 Additional Costs, etc. If, due to any present or future applicable law, which expression, as used
herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or other regulatory body or official charged with the administration or the interpretation thereof and requests,
directives, instructions and notices at any time or from time to time hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Lender by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having the force of law, but being one with
which lenders generally are complying if not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans or IBOR Rate Loans which: 
  
 (a) subjects any Lender or any LC Issuer to any tax, levy,
impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Letters of Credit, such Lender’s Commitment or the Loans (other than taxes referred to in Section 5.2.2 or
taxes based upon or measured by the income or profits of such Lender), or 
  
 (b) subjects any Lender or any LC Issuer to any Mandatory Cost Rate, or  
  
 (c) materially changes the basis of taxation (except for changes in taxes on income or profits or taxes referred to in Section 5.2.2) of
payments to any Lender of the principal of or the interest on any Loans or any other amounts payable to any Lender under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or 
  
 (d) imposes or increases or renders applicable (other than to the extent specifically provided for elsewhere
in this Credit Agreement) any special deposit, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law) against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or
letters of credit issued by, or commitments of an office of any Lender, or 
  

 41 

 (e) imposes on any Lender or LC Issuer any other conditions or requirements with respect
to this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Letters of Credit, the Loans, such Lender’s Commitment, or any class of loans, letters of credit or commitments of which any of the Loans or such Lender’s Commitment forms a part, and
the result of any of the foregoing is: 
  
 (i) to
increase the cost to any Lender of making, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of the Loans or such Lender’s Commitment or any Letter of Credit, or 
  
 (ii) to reduce the amount of principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligation or other amount payable to such
Lender or such LC Issuer hereunder on account of such Lender’s Commitment, any Letter of Credit or any of the Loans, or 
  
 (iii) to require such Lender or such LC Issuer to make any payment or to forego any interest or Reimbursement Obligation or other sum
payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or Reimbursement Obligation or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Lender or such LC Issuer from the Borrowers
hereunder, 
  
 then, and in each such case, the Borrowers will, within ten
Business Days after the Borrowing Administrators receive a written demand from such Lender at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will be sufficient to
compensate such Lender for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or Reimbursement Obligation or other sum; provided, that no such amount shall be payable with respect to any period commencing more than 90 days prior
the date such Lender first notifies the Borrowing Administrators of its intention to demand compensation under this Section 5.6.  
  
 5.7 Capital Adequacy. If any Lender determines (i) that (a) the adoption of or change in any law, governmental rule, regulation, policy,
guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law, but being one with which lenders generally are complying if not having the force of law) regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies or any change in the
interpretation or application thereof by a Governmental Authority with appropriate jurisdiction, in each case after the date hereof, or (b) compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any law, governmental rule,
regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law, but being one with which lenders generally are complying if not having the force of law) of any such entity regarding capital adequacy, affects the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by such Lender (or any corporation Controlling such Lender), and (ii) that the amount of such capital is increased by or based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitment and other commitments of this
type, then, within ten Business Days after written demand by such Lender to both Borrowing Administrators (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall from time to time pay to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate
such Lender or such corporation in the light of such circumstances incurred during the 90-day period prior to the date of such 

  

 42 

 
demand, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital is allocable to the existence of such Lender’s Commitment
hereunder. Each Lender shall allocate such cost increases among its customers in good faith and on an equitable basis. 
  
 5.8 Applicable Lending Office; Certificate. Each Lender will promptly notify the Borrowing Administrators and the Administrative
Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to Section 5.6 or 5.7 and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the
need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate setting forth any additional amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.6 or 5.7 and
a brief explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Lender to the Domestic Borrowing Administrator and the Foreign Borrowing Administrator, shall be prima facie evidence of such amounts. 
  
 5.9 Indemnity. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to
indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by any Borrower in payment of the
principal amount of or any interest on any LIBOR Rate Loans and IBOR Rate Loans as and when due and payable, including any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to
maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans and IBOR Rate Loans, (b) failure by any Borrower to make a borrowing or conversion after the Domestic Borrowing Agent or Foreign Borrowing Agent, as applicable, has given (or is deemed to have given) a Loan Request,
notice or a Conversion Request relating thereto in accordance with Section 2.6 or Section 2.7 or (c) the making of any payment of a LIBOR Rate Loan, the making of an IBOR Rate Loan, or the making of any conversion of any such Loan to a Base Rate
Loan on a day that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect thereto, including interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain any such Loans. 
  
 5.10 Interest After Default and Maturity. 
  
 At all times after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default (whether or not the Administrative Agent has accelerated payment of all or any portion of the Obligations) or after maturity (by acceleration or otherwise or judgment), principal and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all payments
of interest, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) above the Base Rate (or in the case of IBOR Rate Loans, two percent (2%) above the IBOR Rate), until such Event of Default has been cured or remedied or waived by the
Required Lenders or such overdue amount has been paid in full, as applicable. 
  
 5.11 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) (a) makes demand upon the Borrowers for (or if the Borrowers are otherwise required to pay) amounts pursuant to Sections
5.2.2, 5.6 or 5.7, (b) is unable to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or IBOR Rate Loans as a result of a condition described in Section 5.5, or (c) defaults in its obligation to make Loans in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement or
purchase any Letter of Credit Participation, the Borrowers may, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, within ninety (90) days of receipt of such demand, notice (or the 

  

 43 

 
occurrence of such other event causing the Borrowers to be required to pay such compensation or causing Section 5.5 to be applicable), or default, as the
case may be, by notice through the Borrowing Administrators (a “Replacement Notice”) in writing to the Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender (i) request the Affected Lender to cooperate with the Borrowers in obtaining a
replacement Lender that is an Eligible Assignee and satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (the “Replacement Lender”); (ii) request the non-Affected Lenders to acquire and assume all of the Affected Lender’s
Loans and Commitment as provided herein, but none of such non-affected Lenders shall be under an obligation to do so; or (iii) designate a Replacement Lender approved by the Administrative Agent. If any satisfactory Replacement Lender shall be
obtained, and/or if any one or more of the non-Affected Lenders shall agree to acquire and assume all of the Affected Lender’s Loans and Commitment, then such Affected Lender shall assign, in accordance with Section 15.2, all of its Commitment,
Loans, Letter of Credit Participations, Notes and other rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents to such Replacement Lender or non-Affected Lenders, as the case may be, in exchange for payment of the principal
amount so assigned and all interest and fees accrued on the amount so assigned, plus all other Obligations then due and payable to the Affected Lender; provided, however, that (A) such assignment shall be without recourse,
representation or warranty (other than as to the ownership of the assigned Loans free of Liens, the amount of the assigned Commitments and Loans, and the right of the assignor to assign the Loans and Commitments) and shall be on terms and conditions
reasonably satisfactory to such Affected Lender and such Replacement Lender and/or non-Affected Lenders, as the case may be, and (B) prior to any such assignment, the Borrowers shall have paid to such Affected Lender all amounts properly demanded
and unreimbursed under Sections 5.2.2, 5.6 and 5.7 with respect to the time prior to such assignment. Upon the effective date of such assignment, the Borrowers shall issue replacement Notes to such Replacement Lender and/or non-Affected Lenders, as
the case may be, and such institution shall become a “Lender” for all purposes under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
  
 5.12 Extension of Maturity Date. At any time after the first anniversary of the Closing Date but in no event less than ninety (90) days
prior to the Maturity Date, and providing that no Default or Event of Default is then existing, the Borrowing Administrators may deliver a written request from the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent requesting that the Lenders extend the Maturity
Date by one year (or such longer period as may be agreed by the Borrowers and the Lenders) (the “Maturity Extension Request”). The Administrative Agent shall immediately communicate the Maturity Extension Request to the Lenders.
Each Lender shall endeavor to respond to such Maturity Extension Request within a reasonable period of time thereafter, and in any event within 30 days after receipt of such Maturity Extension Request. Any failure by any Lender to respond to such
request shall be deemed a refusal by such Lender to permit the Maturity Extension Request. If the Lenders agree to extend the Maturity Date as requested in the Maturity Extension Request, then, effective as of the existing Maturity Date, the
existing Maturity Date shall be extended to the date one year (or such longer period as may be agreed by the Borrowers and the Lenders) following the existing Maturity Date, and the Lenders and the Borrowers shall enter into an amendment to the
Credit Agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers, Lenders and their respective counsel, evidencing such extension of the Maturity Date and the continuance of the Commitments on the same terms and conditions as set forth
in this Credit Agreement through such newly extended Maturity Date.

liability not adequately covered by insurance, or for which adequate reserves are not maintained on the consolidated balance sheet of LTI and its Subsidiaries, or (b) question the validity of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents,
or any action taken or to be taken pursuant hereto or thereto. 
  
 7.8 No Materially Adverse Contracts, etc. Neither such Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any Organizational Document or other legal restriction, or any judgment, decree, order, law, statute, rule or

Collateral are not subject to any setoff, claims, withholdings or other defenses. Such Domestic Borrower is the owner of the Collateral owned by it free from any Liens, except for Permitted Liens.

incurred by any Domestic Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate which remains unsatisfied for any taxes or penalties with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan or any Multiemployer Plan; 
  
 7.16.2. Neither LTI nor any ERISA Affiliate has (i) engaged in a nonexempt prohibited transaction
described in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA affecting any of the Employee Benefit Plans or the trusts created thereunder which could subject any such Employee Benefit Plan or trust to a material tax or penalty on prohibited

under Section 412 of the Code, Section 302 of ERISA or the terms of such Employee Benefit Plan, or (v) failed to make a required contribution or payment, or otherwise failed to operate in compliance with any Foreign Benefit Law regulating any
Employee Benefit Plan, except as would not result in a Material Adverse Effect; 
  
 7.16.3. No ERISA Reportable Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan or

 7.16.5. To the best of LTI’s knowledge, each
Employee Benefit Plan which is subject to Title IV of ERISA or the funding of which is regulated by any Foreign Benefit Law, maintained by the Borrowers or any ERISA Affiliate, has been administered in accordance with its terms in all material
respects and is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable requirements of ERISA, applicable Foreign Benefit Law and other applicable laws, regulations and rules; 
  

 49 

 7.16.6. The consummation of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit
provided for herein will not involve any prohibited transaction under ERISA which is not subject to a statutory or administrative exemption; and 
  
 7.16.7. No material proceeding, claim, lawsuit and/or investigation exists or, to the best knowledge of LTI after due inquiry, is
threatened concerning or involving any Employee Benefit Plan (other than routine claims for benefits).

of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 
  
 Each Loan
Request or request for the issuance, extension or renewal of a Letter of Credit by the applicable Borrowing Administrator hereunder shall constitute a certification by the applicable Borrowers to the effect set forth in the preceding sentence (both
as of the date of such Loan Request or request and, unless the applicable Borrowing Administrator otherwise notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date of such borrowing, issuance, extension or renewal, as of the date of such borrowing,
issuance, extension or renewal). 
  

 66

(and not rescinded) with respect to any action, suit or proceeding seeking to enjoin or otherwise prevent the consummation of, or to recover any damages or obtain relief as a result of, the transactions contemplated by this Credit Agreement or the
making of Loans hereunder; provided, however, that in the event of any order, judgment, decree or injunction of the type described in this Section 12.2, Lender shall make reasonable efforts to establish and designate an alternate
Applicable Lending Office if doing so would allow such Lender to avoid the illegality of such Loan or Letter of Credit, provided, further, that nothing in this Section 12.2 shall require any Lender to establish an alternate Applicable
Lending Office if doing so would be unlawful or would otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in such Lender’s reasonable discretion.

 (e) any representation or warranty of any Borrower in this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in any other document or

such petition or application shall be filed or any such case or other proceeding shall be commenced against any Obligor and such Obligor shall indicate its approval thereof, consent thereto or acquiescence therein or such petition or application
shall not have been dismissed within ninety (90) days following the filing thereof; provided, that with respect to any action taken or event occurring under Dutch law with respect to an Obligor, only bankruptcy (faillissement),
suspension of payment (surseance van betaling), emergency proceedings (noodregeling), or any other procedure the effect of which is that the Obligor to which it applies loses the free management or ability to dispose of its property
(irrespective of whether that procedure is provisional or final), under Dutch law shall qualify as an action or event referred to in this paragraph (g) for purposes of the Loan Documents; 
  
 (h) a decree or order is entered appointing any such

any of their Subsidiaries to the PBGC or such Guaranteed Pension Plan in an aggregate amount exceeding $1,000,000 and (B) could constitute grounds for the termination of such Guaranteed Pension Plan by the PBGC, for the appointment by the

 (1) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the
Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrowers declare the principal of and interest on the Loans, the Notes and the Reimbursement Obligations at the time outstanding, and all other amounts owed to the Lenders and to
the Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all Reimbursement Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented or
shall be entitled to present the documents required thereunder) and all other Obligations (other than Obligations in respect of any Hedging Agreements), to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable
without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived, anything in this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default specified in Section 13.1(g) or 13.1(h), all Obligations (other than Obligations in respect of any Hedging Agreements) shall automatically become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of
which are expressly waived, anything in this Credit Agreement or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding; 
  
 (2) with respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration of payment of
the Loans, Notes and Reimbursement Obligations pursuant to the preceding paragraph, within three Business Days after the Domestic Borrowing Administrator receives notice from the Administrative Agent demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant
to this paragraph, the Domestic Borrowers shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit. Amounts held in such
cash collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the relevant LC Issuers for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have
expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay the other Obligations. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, the Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other
Obligations shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account, plus any accrued interest thereon or realized profits with respect thereto, shall be returned to the Domestic Borrowing Administrator for account of the
Domestic Borrowers within three Business Days after such payment in full; and 
  
 (3) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrowers exercise on behalf of the Lenders all
of its other rights and remedies under this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable law, in order to satisfy all of the Obligations. 
  
 13.2 Termination of Commitments. If any one or more of the Events of Default specified in Section 13.1(g) or 13.1(h) shall occur, any unused
Commitments hereunder shall forthwith terminate and each of the Lenders shall be relieved of all further obligations to make Loans to the Borrowers and the LC Issuers shall be relieved of all further obligations to issue, extend or renew Letters of
Credit. If any other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may and, upon the request of the Required Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrowers, terminate the unused Commitments hereunder, and upon such
notice 

  

 70 

 
being given such unused portion of the Commitments hereunder shall terminate immediately and each of the Lenders shall be relieved of all further obligations
to make Loans and the LC Issuers shall be relieved of all further obligations to issue, extend or renew Letters of Credit. No termination of any Commitments hereunder shall relieve the Obligors or any of their Subsidiaries of any of the Obligations.

  
 13.3 Remedies. In case any one or more of the
Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 13.1, each Lender, if owed any amount with respect to the Loans or the Reimbursement
Obligations, may, with the consent of the Required Lenders but not otherwise, proceed to protect and enforce its rights by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or
agreement contained in this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any instrument pursuant to which the Obligations to such Lender are evidenced, including as permitted by applicable law the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a
receiver, and, if such amount shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, proceed to enforce the payment thereof or any other legal or equitable right of such Lender. No remedy herein conferred upon any Lender or the Administrative Agent or
the holder of any Note or purchaser of any Letter of Credit Participation is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law. 
  
 13.4 Distribution of Collateral Proceeds. In the event that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be,
receives any monies in connection with the enforcement of any of the Security Documents, or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any of the Collateral, such monies shall be distributed for application as follows: 
  
 (a) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be)
the reimbursement of the Administrative Agent for or in respect of, all reasonable costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the collection of such monies by the
Administrative Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Administrative Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or
in respect of the Collateral or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity to the Administrative Agent against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of the Administrative Agent to such monies;

  
 (b) Second, to all other Obligations
in such order or preference as the Required Lenders may reasonably determine; provided, that (i) distributions shall be made (A) pari passu among Obligations with respect to the fees of the Administrative Agent, Obligations under
Hedging Agreements, and all other Obligations and (B) with respect to each type of Obligation owing to the Lenders, such as interest, principal, fees and expenses, among the Lenders pro rata, (ii) such monies shall be applied first, to
the payment in full of interest, fees and expenses constituting Obligations, and second, to the payment in full of the principal amount of the Obligations (including Reimbursement 

  

 71 

 
Obligations), and (iii) subject to the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may in its reasonable discretion make proper allowance to take into account any
Obligations not then due and payable; 
  
 (c)
Third, upon payment and satisfaction in full or other provisions for payment in full satisfactory to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent of all of the Obligations, to the payment of any obligations required to be paid pursuant to Section
9-504(1)(C) of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State in which the applicable assets were located; and 
  
 (d) Fourth, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrowing Administrators for account of the Borrowers. 
  
 14. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. 
  
 14.1 Authorization. 
  
 (a) The Administrative Agent is authorized to take such
action on behalf of each of the Lenders and to exercise all such powers as are hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents and any related documents delegated to the Administrative Agent, together with such powers as are reasonably incident
thereto, including the authority, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent of the Lenders, from time to time to take any action with respect to any Collateral or the Security Documents and Pledge Documents which may be necessary to
perfect, maintain perfected or insure the priority of the security interest in and Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents and Pledge Documents, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or
therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (b) The relationship between the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders is that of an independent contractor. The use of the term “Administrative Agent” is for convenience only and is used to describe,
as a form of convention, the independent contractual relationship between the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders. Nothing contained in this Credit Agreement nor the other Loan Documents shall be construed to create an agency, trust or
other fiduciary relationship between the Administrative Agent and any of the Lenders. 
  
 (c) As an independent contractor empowered by the Lenders to exercise certain rights and perform certain duties and responsibilities
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is nevertheless a “representative” of the Lenders, as that term is defined in Article 1 of the Uniform Commercial Code, for purposes of actions for the benefit of the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent with respect to all collateral security and guaranties contemplated by the Loan Documents. Such actions include the designation of the Administrative Agent as “secured party” or the like on all
financing statements and other documents and instruments, whether recorded or otherwise, relating to the attachment, perfection, priority or enforcement of any Liens on collateral security intended to secure the payment or performance of any of the
Obligations, all for the benefit of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent. 
  

 72 

 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, in relation to any of
LTI’s Parallel Debt and any security governed by Dutch law: (i) the Administrative Agent shall act for itself (but always for the benefit of the Lenders in accordance with the Loan Documents) and (ii) the rights, powers and authorities vested
in the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents are subject to any restrictions imposed by mandatory Dutch law. 
  
 14.2 Employees and Administrative Agents. The Administrative Agent may exercise its powers and execute its duties by or through employees or
agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent may utilize the services of such
Persons as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may reasonably determine. 
  
 14.3 No Liability. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent or employee thereof,
shall be liable for any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the
consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 14, for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (but in any event not including indirect, punitive or consequential
damages). 
  
 14.4 No Representations. 

 
 14.4.1. General. The Administrative Agent shall
not be responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability of this Credit Agreement, the Notes, the Letters of Credit, any of the other Loan Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security
for the Notes, or for the value of any such collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or collectibility of any such amounts owing with respect to the Notes, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein
or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of the Obligors or any of their Subsidiaries, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the
terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Notes or to inspect any of the properties, books or records of the Borrowers. The Administrative
Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by the Borrowers or any holder of any of the Notes shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. The Administrative Agent has
not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to the Lenders, with respect to the creditworthiness or financial condition of the Borrowers. Each Lender acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Credit Agreement.

  

 73 

 14.4.2. Closing Documentation, etc. For purposes of determining compliance
with the conditions set forth in Section 11, each Lender that has executed this Credit Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted, or to be satisfied with, each document and matter either sent, or made available, by the
Administrative Agent or the Arranger to such Lender for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to such Lender, unless an officer of the Administrative
Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the Closing Date specifying such Lender’s objection thereto and such objection shall not have been withdrawn by notice to the Administrative Agent to such effect on or prior to the
Closing Date. 
  
 14.5 Payments. 
  
 14.5.1. Payments to Administrative Agent. A payment
by any Obligor to the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Lender shall constitute a payment to such Lender. The Administrative Agent agrees promptly to distribute to each Lender such
Lender’s pro rata share of payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. 
  
 14.5.2. Distribution by Administrative Agent. If in
the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain from making such
distribution until its right to make such distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Administrative Agent is to be
repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Administrative Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as
shall be determined by such court. 
  
 14.5.3.
Delinquent Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any Lender that fails (a) to make available to the Administrative Agent its pro rata share of any Loan or to
purchase any Letter of Credit Participation or (b) to comply with the provisions of Section 16.1 with respect to making dispositions and arrangements with the other Lenders, where such Lender’s share of any payment received, whether by setoff
or otherwise, is in excess of its pro rata share of such payments due and payable to all of the Lenders, in each case as, when and to the full extent required by the provisions of this Credit Agreement, shall be deemed delinquent (a
“Delinquent Lender”) and shall be deemed a Delinquent Lender until such time as such delinquency is satisfied. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrowers, whether on
account of outstanding Loans, Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining nondelinquent Lenders for 

  

 74 

 
application to, and reduction of, their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans and Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations. The Delinquent Lender
hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to distribute such payments to the nondelinquent Lenders in proportion to their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans and Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed
to have satisfied in full a delinquency when and if, as a result of application of the assigned payments to all outstanding Loans and Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations of the nondelinquent Lenders, the Lenders’ respective pro rata shares of all
outstanding Loans and Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency. 
  
 14.6 Holders of Notes. The Administrative Agent may deem and
treat the payee of any Note or the purchaser of any Letter of Credit Participation as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall have been furnished in writing with a different name by such payee or by a
subsequent holder, assignee or transferee. 
  
 14.7
Indemnity. The Lenders ratably agree hereby to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and its affiliates from and against any and all claims, actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs,
expenses (including any expenses for which the Administrative Agent or such affiliate has not been reimbursed by the Borrowers as required by Section 16.2), and liabilities of every nature and character arising out of or related to this Credit
Agreement, the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or the Administrative Agent’s actions taken hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same shall be
directly caused by the Administrative Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. 
  
 14.8 Administrative Agent as Lender. In its individual capacity, HSBC (or any successor to HSBC as Administrative Agent) shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in
respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes and as the purchaser of any Letter of Credit Participations, as it would have were it not also the Administrative Agent. 
  
 14.9 Resignation. The Administrative Agent may resign at any
time by giving at least sixty (60) days prior written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Domestic Borrowing Administrator and the Foreign Borrowing Administrator; provided, that any such resignation shall only become effective upon (i)
appointment of a successor Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section and (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents and the taking of all other actions necessary or, in the opinion of the successor Administrative Agent, in
connection with the substitution, in accordance with applicable law, of the successor as creditor of LTI’s Parallel Debts and as holder of the security interest created in accordance with the Loan Documents. Upon any such resignation, if
Wachovia is still a Lender under this Credit Agreement at the time of such resignation, Wachovia shall automatically be appointed as the successor Administrative Agent, or if Wachovia is no longer a Lender hereunder at the time of such resignation,
the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such successor Administrative Agent shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers.
If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have 

  

 75 

 
accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be an Eligible Assignee and a commercial bank with a combined capital surplus of at least $500,000,000, a debt rating of not less than A or its
equivalent by S&P and an office in the United States. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested
with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation,
the provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent. The Required Lenders or, as the
case may be, any successor Administrative Agent, shall notify the Borrowing Administrators of any appointment of any successor Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section. 
  
 14.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. 
  
 (a) In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency,
liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial, administrative or like proceeding or any assignment for the benefit of creditors relative to any Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of
whether the principal of any Loan, Reimbursement Obligation or Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any
demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding, under any such assignment or otherwise: 
  
 (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Reimbursement
Obligations or Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations 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 Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including
any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections
2.2, 4.6, 5.1 and 16.2) allowed in such proceeding or under any such assignment; and 
  
 (ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same in
accordance with the Loan Documents; 
  
 (b) Any
custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding or under any such assignment is hereby authorized by each Lender 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 

  

 76 

 
Lenders, nevertheless 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 Sections 2.2, 4.6, 5.1 and 16.2. 
  
 (c) Nothing contained herein shall authorize the Administrative Agent to consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations owed to such Lender or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding or under
any such assignment. 
  
 14.11 Notification of Defaults and
Events of Default; Duties in the Case of Enforcement. 
  
 (a) The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless it has received written notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this
Credit Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders
(with a copy to the Borrowing Administrators). 
  
 Each Lender hereby agrees that, upon learning of the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrowing Administrators) thereof. The Administrative Agent hereby
agrees that upon receipt of any notice under this Section 14.11 it shall promptly notify the other Lenders (with a copy to the Borrowing Administrators) of the existence of such Default or Event of Default. 
  
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall take such action with
respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, when expressly required hereby, all the Lenders) so long as the Lenders shall have provided to the Administrative Agent such additional
indemnities and assurances against expenses and liabilities as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not
be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders, except to the extent that other provisions of this Credit
Agreement expressly require that any such action be taken or not be taken only with the consent and authorization or the request of the Lenders or Required Lenders, as applicable; provided further, that the Administrative Agent need not comply with
any such direction to the extent that the Administrative Agent reasonably believes the Administrative Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful or commercially unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction.

 15.1 General Conditions. The provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under any of the Loan Documents without the prior written consent
of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (a) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.2, (b) by way of participation in accordance with the
provisions of Section 15.4 or (c) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 15.6 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Credit
Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 15.4 and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. 
  
 15.2. Assignments. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or
more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that: 
  
 (a) except in the cases of an assignment of the entire
remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or of an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding
thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date on which the Assignment and Acceptance with respect
to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $2,500,000 and shall be in integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents; 
  
 (b) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment
of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, it being understood that non-pro rata assignments of or among any of the Commitments,
the Revolving Credit Loans and Reimbursement Obligations are not permitted; 
  
 (c) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender with a Commitment (whether or not the proposed assignee would
otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); 
  
 (d) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 payable by the assigning Lender, and the Eligible
Assignee, if it is not already a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent such reasonable information as may be requested by the Administrative Agent; and 
  

 78 

 (e) such Eligible Assignee shall, prior to the first date on which interest or fees are
payable hereunder for its account, deliver to the Borrowing Administrators and the Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes in accordance with Sections 5.2.2 and
5.2.3. 
  
 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 15.3, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Acceptance have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Credit Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this
Credit Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of (i) Sections 5.2.2, 5.6, 5.7, and 5.9, with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment, and (ii) Section 16.3, notwithstanding such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of
rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Credit Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section
15.4. 
  
 15.3 Register. The Administrative Agent,
acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Obligors, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding notice to
the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Obligor and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
  
 15.4 Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the
Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person) that is a PMP (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Credit Agreement (including
all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (a) such Lender’s obligations under this Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto
for the performance of such obligations, (c) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit
Agreement, and (d) the aggregate amount of the Commitment and/or Loans subject to such participation shall not be less than $2,500,000 and in integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that
such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Credit Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument 

  

 79 

 
may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that would reduce the principal
of or the interest rate on any Loans, extend the term or increase the amount of the Commitment of such Lender as it relates to such Participant, reduce the amount of any Commitment Fee or Letter of Credit Fees to which such Participant is entitled
or extend any regularly scheduled payment date for principal or interest. Subject to Section 15.5, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.2.2, 5.6, 5.7 and 5.9 to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 15.2. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 16.1 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be
subject to Section 15.1 as though it were a Lender. 
  
 15.5
Payments to Participants and Others. No Participant, Eligible Assignee that becomes a Lender pursuant to Section 15.2 or other transferee of any Lender’s rights (including any Applicable Lending Office other than such Lender’s
initial Applicable Lending Office) shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.2.2, 5.6 or 5.7 than such Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made by reason
of the provisions of Section 5.2.2, 5.6 or 5.7 requiring such Lender to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist. 
  
 15.6 Miscellaneous Assignment Provisions. A Lender may at any
time grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Credit Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation (a) any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to any of the twelve Federal Reserve
Banks organized under Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 341 and (b) with respect to any Lender that is a Fund, to any lender or any trustee for, or any other representative of, holders of obligations owed or securities issued
by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities or any institutional custodian for such Fund or for such lender; provided that no such grant shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder, provide any voting
rights hereunder to the secured party thereof, substitute any such secured party for such Lender as a party hereto or affect any rights or obligations of any Obligor or the Administrative Agent hereunder. 
  
 15.7 Assignee or Participant Affiliated with the
Obligors. If any assignee Lender is an Affiliate of any Borrower, then any such assignee Lender shall have no right to vote as a Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for purposes of granting
consents or waivers or for purposes of agreeing to amendments or other modifications to any of the Loan Documents or for purposes of making requests to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 15.1 or Section 15.2, and the determination of the
Required Lenders shall for all purposes of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents be made without regard to such assignee Lender’s interest in any of the Loans or Reimbursement Obligations. If any Lender sells a participating
interest in any of the Loans or Reimbursement Obligations to a Participant, and such Participant is one of the Borrowers or an Affiliate of any Borrower, then such transferor Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the sale of such
participation. A transferor Lender shall have no right to vote as a Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for purposes of granting consents or waivers or for purposes of agreeing to amendments or modifications to any of the Loan
Documents or for purposes of making requests to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 15.1 or Section 15.2 to the extent that such 

  

 80 

 
participation is beneficially owned by any Borrower or any Affiliate of any Borrower, and the determination of the Required Lenders shall for all purposes of
this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents be made without regard to the interest of such transferor Lender in the Loans or Reimbursement Obligations to the extent of such participation. 
  
 15.8 New Notes. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and
Acceptance executed by the parties thereto, together with each Note subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall (a) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (b) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrowing
Administrators and the Lenders (other than the assigning Lender). Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Domestic Borrowers and/or Foreign Borrowers, as applicable, at their own expense, shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent, in exchange for each surrendered Note, a new Note to the order of such Assignee in an amount equal to the amount assumed by such Assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has retained some
portion of its obligations hereunder, a new Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the amount retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes, shall be in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the surrendered Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the assigned Notes; provided,
that any Foreign Revolving Credit Note issued by Lionbridge BV will not have a denomination of less than the Dollar Equivalent of EUR 50,000. The surrendered Notes shall be cancelled and returned to the Borrowing Administrators. 
  
 16. PROVISIONS OF GENERAL APPLICATION. 
  
 16.1 Setoff. Each of the Borrowers hereby grants to the
Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders a right of setoff as security for all liabilities and obligations to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all its deposits (excluding
payroll, benefits and other trust accounts), credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or any Lender Affiliate and their successors and assigns or
in transit to any of them. Regardless of the adequacy of any collateral, if any of the Obligations are due and payable and have not been paid or any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any deposits or other sums credited by or
due from any of the Lenders to the Borrowers and any securities or other property of the Borrowers in the possession of such Lender may, without prior notice to any Borrower, be applied to or set off by such Lender against the payment of Obligations
and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, of the Borrowers to such Lender. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE ANY LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES
WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE BORROWERS ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. Each of
the Lenders agrees with each other Lender that (a) if an amount to be set off is to be applied to Indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender, other than Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes held by such Lender or constituting Reimbursement
Obligations owed to such Lender, such amount shall be applied ratably to such other Indebtedness and to the 

  

 81 

 
Indebtedness evidenced by all such Notes held by such Lender or constituting Reimbursement Obligations owed to such Lender, and (b) if such Lender shall
receive from the Borrowers, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, counterclaim, cross action, enforcement of the claim evidenced by the Notes held by, or constituting Reimbursement Obligations owed to, such Lender by
proceedings against the Borrowers at law or in equity or by proof thereof in bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, receivership or similar proceedings, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Note or Notes held by, or
Reimbursement Obligations owed to, such Lender any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Lenders with respect to the Notes held by, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all of the Lenders, such Lender will
make such disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Lender receiving in respect of
the Notes held by it or Reimbursement Obligations owed it, its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Credit Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such disposition
and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. 
  
 16.2 Expenses. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay (a) any stamp, transfer, documentary or similar taxes (including any
interest and penalties in respect thereof) payable by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders on or with respect to the execution, delivery or registration of this Credit Agreement or the filing, registration, recording or perfection of any
security interest contemplated by the Security Documents (the Borrowers hereby agreeing to jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender with respect thereto), (b) the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, expenses
and disbursements incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including its legal counsel and its local counsel, in connection with the preparation, administration or interpretation of the Loan Documents, any Hedging Agreements, and any

terms of such Loan Document for providing for such cancellation, (c) any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs, expenses and bank charges, including bank charges for returned checks, incurred in connection with the Loan Documents by
the Administrative Agent in establishing, maintaining or handling agency accounts, lock box accounts and other accounts for the collection of any of the Collateral, (d) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including without
limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent, and reasonable consulting, accounting, appraisal, investment banking and similar professional fees and charges) incurred by the
Administrative Agent in connection with (i) the enforcement of or preservation of rights under any of the Loan Documents or any Hedging Agreements against the Obligors or the administration thereof after the occurrence of an Event of Default and
(ii) any litigation, proceeding or dispute whether arising hereunder or otherwise, in any way related to any Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s relationship with the Obligors or any of their Subsidiaries and (e) all reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements of any Lender or the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with UCC searches and UCC filings, but excluding intellectual property searches and intellectual property filings, required

 82

harmless the Administrative Agent, its Affiliates and the Lenders (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all claims, actions and suits whether groundless or otherwise, liabilities, losses, damages and related
expenses, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Person arising out of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any Hedging Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby including, without limitation, (a) any actual
or proposed use by the Borrowers of the proceeds of any of the Loans or Letters of Credit, (b) the reversal or withdrawal of any provisional credits granted by the Administrative Agent upon the transfer of funds from lock box, bank agency,

(including, but not limited to, claims with respect to wrongful death, personal injury or damage to property), in each case including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any such
investigation, litigation or other proceeding; provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Person, be available to the extent that such claims, losses, damages, liabilities or related expenses resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. In litigation, or the preparation therefor, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and its affiliates shall be entitled to select their own counsel and, in addition to the foregoing
indemnity but subject to the proviso at the end of the immediately preceding sentence, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay promptly the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel to the Administrative Agent. If and to the extent that
the obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 16.3 are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrowers hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law,
except to the extent that, as to any Indemnified Person, such claims, losses, damages, liabilities or related expenses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. The covenants contained in this Section 16.3
shall survive payment or satisfaction in full of all other Obligations. 
  
 16.4 Treatment of Certain Confidential Information. 
  
 16.4.1. Confidentiality. Each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and each of its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and representatives, to use reasonable
precautions to keep confidential, in accordance with their customary procedures for handling confidential information of the same nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices, any non-public information supplied to it by any
Obligor pursuant to any Loan Document that is identified by such Person as being confidential at the time the same is delivered to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, provided that nothing herein shall limit the disclosure of any such

  

 83 

 
information (a) after such information shall have become public other than through a violation of this Section 16.4, or becomes available to any of the
Lenders or the Administrative Agent on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Obligors, (b) to the extent required by statute, rule, regulation or judicial process, (c) to counsel for any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent (it
being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential), (d) to bank examiners or any other regulatory authority having

examination of the financial condition of such Lender by such governmental agency) or pursuant to legal process. 
  
 16.4.3. Other. In no event shall any Lender or the Administrative Agent be obligated or required to return any materials furnished
to it or any Financial Affiliate by the Borrowers. The obligations of each Lender under this Section 16.4 shall supersede and replace the obligations of such Lender under any confidentiality letter in respect of this financing signed and delivered
by such Lender to the Borrowers prior to the date hereof and shall be binding upon any assignee of, or purchaser of any participation in, any interest in any of the Loans or Reimbursement Obligations from any Lender.

Except as prohibited by law, each of the Borrowers hereby waives any right it may have to claim or recover in any litigation referred to in the preceding sentence any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages or any damages other than,
or in addition to, actual damages. Each of the Borrowers (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any Lender or the Administrative Agent has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such Lender or the Administrative Agent would
not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waivers and (b) acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have been induced to enter into this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents to which it is a party by,
among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications contained herein.

other Loan Documents or any other instrument related hereto or mentioned herein (other than Hedging Agreements) may be amended, and the performance or observance by any Obligor of any provision of any Loan Document or such other instrument, and any
Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the prior written consent of the applicable Obligors and the prior written consent of the

 (i) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loans or
Reimbursement Obligations, or reduce the rate of interest on the Notes or the amount of the Commitment Fee or Letter of Credit Fees (other than (A) interest accruing pursuant to Section 5.10.2 following the effective date of any waiver by the
Required Lenders of the Default or Event of Default relating thereto or (B) as a result of a change in the definition of Leverage Ratio or any of the components thereof or the method of calculation thereof); 
  
 (ii) increase the amount of such Lender’s Commitment or
extend the expiration date of such Lender’s Commitment; 
  
 (iii) postpone or extend the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date or any other regularly scheduled dates for payments of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or Reimbursement Obligations or any Fees or other amounts

or waive this Section 16.12 or the definition of Required Lenders; and 
  
 (c) without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, amend or waive Section 14, the amount or time of payment of any fee of the Administrative Agent or any other provision applicable to the Administrative
Agent. 
  
 No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived
or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. No notice to or
demand upon the Borrowers shall entitle the Borrowers to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
  
 16.13 Severability. The provisions of this Credit Agreement are severable and if any one clause or provision hereof shall be held
invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision
