 Commitment Letter 

You (“you” or the “Borrower”) have advised Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. (“MSSF”, and
together with each Lender (as defined below) that becomes a party to this Commitment Letter as an additional “Commitment Party” pursuant to Section 2 hereof, collectively, the “Commitment Parties”,
“we” or “us”) that you, and one of your wholly owned subsidiaries (“Acquisition Sub”), intend to acquire (the “Acquisition”) all of the outstanding share capital of companies
previously identified to us and codenamed “Diamond” (such companies, collectively, the “Target”, and together with the subsidiaries thereof, the “Acquired Business”), pursuant to that certain share
purchase agreement to be entered into among you, Acquisition Sub, the Target, the seller representative, and the seller of the Target (together with the ultimate beneficial owners of the Target and the seller representative, collectively the
“Seller”) (including all annexes and exhibits thereto and all material documents related to consummation of the Acquisition, as amended, modified and supplemented in accordance with the terms hereof, the “Acquisition
Agreement”). 
 In that connection, you have advised us that the total amount required to finance the Acquisition (including
repayment or redemption of the existing material indebtedness of the Target) and to pay the fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be provided by, at the election of the Borrower, a combination of (a) the Borrower’s
available cash and borrowings under its five-year revolving credit agreement, dated as of July 25, 2011, among the Borrower, the lenders and issuers named therein, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as
syndication agent (as amended, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), (b) the issuance by the Borrower of a combination of equity securities,
equity-linked securities and unsecured debt securities and/or its borrowing of term loans (the foregoing, collectively, the “Permanent Financing”), and/or (c) to the extent the Borrower does not issue or borrow the Permanent
Financing on or prior to the Closing Date (as defined below), the borrowing by the 

 
Borrower of loans under a 364-day senior unsecured bridge term loan facility (the “Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $2.5 billion. The Acquisition, the
Facility and the transactions contemplated by or related to the foregoing are collectively referred to as the “Transactions”. No other financing will be required for the Transactions. The date on which the Facility shall be
available is herein referred to as the “Closing Date”. 
 1. Commitments. MSSF is pleased to commit to
provide 100% of the Facility, subject to and on the terms and conditions set forth in this letter and in the Summary of Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit A (including the Annex attached thereto) and the Conditions Precedent to Loans
attached hereto as Exhibit B (collectively, the “Term Sheets” and collectively with this letter, this “Commitment Letter”); provided that, the amount of the Facility and the aggregate commitment of the
Commitment Parties hereunder for the Facility shall be automatically reduced at any time on or after the date hereof as set forth in the section titled “Mandatory Prepayments/Commitment Reductions” in Exhibit A hereto. It is understood
that MSSF shall act as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner (in such capacity, the “Arranger”) and sole administrative agent for the Facility. You agree that, as a condition to the commitments, agreements and undertakings set
forth herein, no other agents, co-agents, arrangers or bookrunners will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation will be paid in connection with the Facility, unless you and we shall agree. It is further agreed that MSSF
will have “upper left” placement in all documentation used in connection with the Facility and shall have all roles and responsibilities customarily associated with such placement. 

Our commitments and agreements hereunder are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions: 

(A) Except as set forth in Group Disclosure Letter (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement and as provided to MSSF prior to its execution
hereof) (it being understood that the disclosure of any matter, information, item or other disclosure in any section of the Group Disclosure Letter (whether or not an explicit cross-reference appears) shall be deemed to be disclosure with respect to
this condition (A) to the extent that it is reasonably apparent from the face of such disclosure that such matter, information, item or other disclosure in such section of the Group Disclosure Letter is relevant to this condition (A)), from
December 31, 2013 through the date of the Acquisition Agreement, there has not been any change in the financial condition, business or results of operations of the Group, taken as a whole, that has had an Acquired Business Material Adverse
Effect (as defined below). As of the Closing Date, since the date of the Acquisition Agreement, no Acquired Business Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred. For the purposes hereof, “Acquired Business Material Adverse Effect”
shall mean any event, change, circumstance, condition, occurrence, effect or state of facts that has had or is reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the assets, properties, business, condition
(financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Group, taken as a whole; provided, however, that none of the following (including any event, change, circumstance, condition, occurrence, effect or state of facts to the extent
arising out of the following) shall be deemed, either individually or in the aggregate, to constitute an Acquired Business Material Adverse Effect: (i) any general condition or event affecting the industries or markets (including customers) in
which any member of the Group conducts operations; (ii) any general economic, capital market, financial, political or regulatory conditions, worldwide or in the countries in which the Group conducts operations; (iii) any occurrence,
outbreak, escalation or material worsening of war, armed hostilities, acts of terrorism (including cyber terrorism), or any national or international calamity, crisis or emergency (including natural disasters), or any governmental or other response
to any of the foregoing, in each case whether or not involving the countries in which the Group conducts operations; (iv) any event, change, occurrence, effect or state of facts related to or resulting from the Transactions or the announcement
or pendency thereof (including any (A) actions by customers, suppliers or competitors, (B) loss of personnel, suppliers or customers, or (C) the delay or cancellation of orders for services and products); (v) any change (or
proposed change) in applicable accounting requirements or principles or applicable Laws, after the date of this Agreement; (vi) any action taken (or omitted to be taken) by any member of the Group to the extent

  
 2 

 
expressly required by this Agreement or, at the Purchaser’s express written request; (vii) any failure to meet financial projections (but not excluding any of the reasons for or factors
contributing to any such failure); (viii) any event, change, occurrence, effect or state of facts to the extent resulting from a material, uncured breach of this Agreement by the Purchaser; and (ix) any event, change, occurrence, effect or
state of facts resulting from the identity of the Purchaser or its Affiliates; provided, further, that any event, change, occurrence, effect or state of facts set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above may be taken into
account in determining whether there is or has been an Acquired Business Material Adverse Effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such event, change, occurrence, effect or state of fact has had or is reasonably likely to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a disproportionately adverse effect on the Group, taken as a whole, compared to other similarly situated companies in the industries in which the Group operates (each capitalized term used in the definition of
“Acquired Business Material Adverse Effect” and not defined herein has the meaning given thereto in the Acquisition Agreement as in effect on the date hereof). 

(B) The Borrower shall have engaged (on or before the Borrower’s execution of this Commitment Letter) one or more investment and/or
commercial banks satisfactory to the Arranger on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Arranger to arrange permanent financing or refinancing for the Acquisition. 

(C) The satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions set forth in Exhibit B. 

The conditions to closing and funding of our commitments hereunder on the Closing Date are limited to those expressly set forth in the
preceding paragraph and in Exhibit B. It is understood and agreed that the commitments of the Lenders in respect of the Facility and the extensions of credit thereunder on the Closing Date shall not be conditioned on the accuracy or correctness of
any representation or warranty other than (i) the representations made by or on behalf of the Acquired Business in the Acquisition Agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that the Borrower (or a
subsidiary, including Acquisition Sub) has the right (taking into account any applicable cure periods) to terminate its obligations to consummate the Acquisition under the Acquisition Agreement (pursuant to the terms thereof) as a result of a breach
of such representations in the Acquisition Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement Representations”) and (ii) the Specified Representations (as defined below) as they relate to the Borrower or any guarantor (and, with respect to
clause (i) below, as they relate to the Borrower and its subsidiaries (other than the Acquired Business). For purposes hereof, “Specified Representations” means the representations and warranties contained in the Credit
Documentation (defined below) relating to (a) corporate power and authority, (b) the authorization, execution, delivery and enforceability of the Credit Documentation, (c) no conflicts of the Credit Documentation with
(i) organizational documents, (ii) any agreement with respect to indebtedness in a principal amount in excess of $100 million or (iii) any applicable law to the extent such conflict pursuant to this clause (iii) results or would
reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the rights or remedies of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent under the Credit Documentation, (d) the Borrower’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2013
present fairly the financial position of the Borrower and its subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP as of such date, (e) governmental authorization with respect to the Facility, (f) solvency, (g) Federal Reserve margin regulations,
(h) the Investment Company Act and (i) compliance with OFAC and use of proceeds not in violation of the FCPA (this paragraph, and the provisions herein, the “Limited Conditionality Provision”). 

2. Syndication. The Arranger reserves the right, prior to or after execution of the definitive documentation for the Facility
(the “Credit Documentation”), in consultation with you, to syndicate all or a part of the commitments hereunder to one or more financial institutions and/or lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”) in accordance with
the terms hereof, which syndication shall be managed by the Arranger in consultation with the Borrower; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, (a) until the date that is 60 days
after the date hereof (the “Initial Syndication Period”), the selection of Lenders and any roles awarded and allocations by the Arranger 

  
 3 

 
shall be subject to the Borrower’s approval in its sole discretion (provided that such approval shall not be required with respect to the selection of any Lender that is a party to the
Existing Credit Agreement) and (b) following the Initial Syndication Period, if and for so long as a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter referred to below) has not been achieved, the selection of Lenders by the Arranger shall
be in consultation with the Borrower (it being understood and agreed that no Lender selected by the Arranger pursuant to this clause (b) (other than any Lender that is a party to the Existing Credit Agreement) shall (unless otherwise consented
to by the Borrower) have a credit rating with respect to senior, unsecured, non-credit enhanced, long-term indebtedness for borrowed money below (x) BBB- by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill
Companies, Inc. (“S&P”) or (y) Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”)). Following the achievement of a Successful Syndication, assignments of commitments hereunder shall be in
accordance with the terms set forth in the section titled “Assignments and Participations” in Exhibit A hereto. It is agreed that such syndication, including decisions as to institutions to be approached, shall occur in a manner consistent
with the syndication strategy agreed upon by the Arranger and the Borrower prior to the date hereof, except to the extent the Arranger determines, in consultation with the Borrower, that changes from such strategy are advisable to facilitate
successful syndication of the Facility. The commitment of MSSF hereunder with respect to the Facility shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar as and when commitments for the Facility are received from Lenders to the extent that each such Lender becomes
(i) party to this Commitment Letter as an additional “Commitment Party” pursuant to a joinder agreement or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Arranger and you or (ii) party to the applicable Credit Documentation
as a “Lender” thereunder. The Arranger intends to commence syndication efforts as soon as is practicable after the execution of this Commitment Letter by the parties hereto (but not before the public announcement of the Transactions by
you), and you agree to use your commercially reasonable efforts to actively assist the Arranger in completing a syndication reasonably satisfactory to the Arranger as soon after your acceptance of this Commitment Letter as practicable until the
earlier of (x) 60 days after the Closing Date and (y) the date that a Successful Syndication is achieved. Such assistance shall include, without limitation, (a) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the
Arranger’s syndication efforts benefit materially from your existing lending and investment banking relationships, (b) direct contact between appropriate senior management and advisors of the Borrower, on the one hand, and the proposed
Lenders, on the other hand, at reasonable times and intervals to be mutually agreed, (c) to the extent requested by the Arranger, your assistance in the preparation of a Confidential Information Memorandum and other reasonably available
customary marketing materials with respect to you and your subsidiaries and (to the extent consistent with the Acquisition Agreement) the Acquired Business (other than materials the disclosure of which would violate a confidentiality agreement or
waive attorney-client privilege) in form and substance customary for transactions of this type to be used in connection with the syndication and (d) the hosting, with the Arranger, of one or more meetings or conference calls with prospective
Lenders, at times and locations to be mutually agreed upon, as deemed reasonably necessary by the Arranger. Until the date that is the earlier of (i) the achievement of a Successful Syndication and (ii) 60 days after the Closing Date, you
agree that there shall be no competing offering, placement or arrangement of any commercial bank or other credit facilities by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, in each case that would in the reasonable opinion of the Arranger
be expected to materially impair the primary syndication of the Facility, without the prior written consent of the Arranger; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the ability of the Borrower or its subsidiaries to
arrange or renew accounts receivable sale or securitization programs, to refinance or renew the Existing Credit Agreement (provided that (x) any such refinancing thereof shall be in consultation with the Arranger and (y) the aggregate
commitments thereunder shall not be increased by more than $500 million) or bilateral lines of credit, to issue commercial paper or other short-term debt programs, including, without limitation, any domestic or foreign working capital facility, to
incur indebtedness under existing credit facilities (up to the committed amounts under such facilities as of the date hereof), to refinance indebtedness in the ordinary course of business (in amounts not to exceed the amounts of the loans and
commitments thereunder as of the date hereof (taking into account any “incremental” or similar provisions contained therein), or to arrange, renew or amend a federal new markets tax credit program or any federal subsidized loans for one or
more U.S. facilities of the Borrower or its subsidiaries; and provided, further, 

  
 4 

 
that, in connection with any joint ventures of the Borrower, the foregoing shall not limit the ability of the Borrower, its subsidiaries or any joint venture entity (or entities) to arrange,
renew or amend project financing (such project financing, together with the financing described in the preceding proviso, the “Permitted Financings” and the provisions of this sentence, the “clear market
provisions”). It is understood that nothing herein shall (i) obligate MSSF or any of its affiliates to provide or arrange any Permitted Financing nor (ii) require the Borrower or its subsidiaries to engage MSSF or its affiliates
to provide or arrange any Permitted Financing. The Arranger will manage all aspects of the syndication in consultation with you, including, without limitation, decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached and when they will be
approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate and the allocations of the commitments among the Lenders. In acting as the Arranger, MSSF will have no responsibility other than to arrange the syndication as
set forth herein and shall in no event be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties. To assist the Arranger in its syndication efforts, you agree promptly to prepare and provide to us all customary information with respect to the Borrower and
its subsidiaries and the Transactions, including, without limitation, the financial information and projections provided to the Arranger prior to the date hereof (the “Projections”), as the Arranger may reasonably request in
connection with the arrangement and syndication of the Facility. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter, neither the commencement nor the completion of any syndication of the Facility nor any
of your obligations to assist with the syndication of the Facility shall constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the Facility on the Closing Date. The Arranger and the Borrower agree to each use its commercially reasonable efforts to
negotiate, execute and deliver the Credit Documentation promptly following execution of this Commitment Letter, with the initial drafts thereof to be prepared by counsel to the Arranger. 

You agree that the Arranger may make available any Information (as defined below) and Projections (collectively, the “Company
Materials”) to potential Lenders by posting the Company Materials on IntraLinks, the Internet or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”). You further agree to assist, at the reasonable request of the Arranger, in
the preparation of a version of a confidential information memorandum and other customary marketing materials and presentations to be used in connection with the syndication of the Facility to potential Lenders who do not wish to receive material
non-public information (within the meaning of foreign (if applicable), United States federal and state securities laws) with respect to the Borrower, the Target or their respective subsidiaries, consisting exclusively of information or documentation
that is either (a) publicly available (or contained in the prospectus or other offering memorandum for any securities to be issued by the Borrower in connection with the Transactions) or (b) not material with respect to the Borrower, the
Target or their respective subsidiaries or any of their respective securities for purposes of foreign (if applicable), United States federal and state securities laws (all such information and documentation being “Public Lender
Information”). Any information and documentation that is not Public Lender Information is referred to herein as “Private Lender Information.” You further agree, at our reasonable request, to identify any document to be
disseminated by the Arranger to any Lender or potential Lender in connection with the syndication of the Facility as either (i) containing Private Lender Information or (ii) containing solely Public Lender Information (provided that the
Borrower has been afforded a reasonable opportunity to review such documents and comply with applicable disclosure obligations under applicable law). Unless identified by you as containing solely Public Lender Information, each document to be
disseminated by the Arranger will be deemed to be Private Lender Information unless you, after receipt thereof, advise the Arranger otherwise in writing. You acknowledge that the following documents will contain solely Public Lender Information
(unless you or your counsel notify us promptly that any such document contains Private Lender Information and provided the Borrower has been afforded a reasonable opportunity to review such documents and comply with disclosure obligations under
applicable law): (i) drafts and final Credit Documentation; (ii) administrative materials prepared by the Arranger for potential Lenders (e.g. a lender meeting invitation, allocation and/or funding and closing memoranda), in each case to
the extent submitted to the Borrower for review and approval prior to distribution; and (iii) notification of changes in the terms of the Facility.

 3. Information. You hereby represent and warrant (but the accuracy of such
representation shall not be a condition to the commitments hereunder or the funding of the Facility on the Closing Date) that (a) all written information (other than the Projections, estimates, forward looking statements and information of a
general economic or industry nature) (collectively, the “Information”) that has been or will be made available to us or any of our affiliates or any Lender or potential Lender by you, the Acquired Business, or any of your or its
representatives in connection with the Transactions, which in the case of any Information relating to the Acquired Business shall be to the best of your knowledge, is or will be, when taken as a whole, complete and correct in all material respects
and does not or will not, when taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which
such statements are made (and after giving effect to all supplements or updates thereto) and (b) the Projections that have been made available to us or any of our affiliates or any Lender or potential Lender by you or any of your
representatives have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by you to be reasonable as of the date of the preparation of such Projections (it being understood that such Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and
contingencies, many of which are beyond your control, that no assurance can be given that any particular Projection will be realized, that actual results may differ from the Projections and that such differences may be material). You agree that if
at any time prior to (i) if a Successful Syndication has been achieved by the Closing Date, the Closing Date or (ii) if a Successful Syndication has not been achieved by the Closing Date, the earlier of (x) the achievement of a
Successful Syndication and (y) 60 days after the Closing Date, any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect if the Information and Projections were being furnished, and such representations
were being made, at such time, then you will promptly supplement, or cause to be supplemented, the Information and Projections so that (to your knowledge with respect to the Acquired Business prior to the Closing Date) such representations will be
correct in all material respects at such time. You acknowledge that we will be entitled to use and rely on the Information and Projections without independent verification thereof. 

We reserve the right to employ the services of one or more of our affiliates in providing services contemplated by this Commitment Letter and
to allocate, in whole or in part, to such affiliates certain fees payable to us in such manner as we and our affiliates may agree. 
 4.
Fees. As consideration for our commitments hereunder and the Arranger’s agreement to perform the services described herein, you agree to pay the non-refundable fees set forth in the Term Sheets and in the Fee Letter delivered
herewith from MSSF to you relating to the Facility and dated the date hereof (the “Fee Letter”). 
 5. Indemnity and
Expenses; Other Activities. You agree (a) to indemnify and hold harmless each Commitment Party and its affiliates and each officer, director, employee, advisor and agent of each Commitment Party or its affiliates (each, an
“indemnified person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities to which any such indemnified person may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the
Facility, the use of the proceeds thereof, the Transactions or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any indemnified person is a party thereto and regardless of whether brought by
a third party or by the Borrower or any of its affiliates (any of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”), and to reimburse each indemnified person upon demand for any reasonable and documented legal or other expenses of one firm of counsel
for all such indemnified persons taken as a whole and, if necessary, of a single local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) (and, in the case of a conflict of interest
where the indemnified person affected by such conflict informs you of such conflict, and thereafter retains its own counsel, of one additional firm of counsel for each such group of similarly-situated affected indemnified persons, taken as a whole)
or other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend or participating in any such Proceeding, provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any
indemnified person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses to the 

  
 6 

 
extent (i) they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to result primarily from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
indemnified person or a material breach by such indemnified person of its obligations under this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter or (ii) arising out of any Proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of you or any of your affiliates
and that is brought by an indemnified person against any other indemnified person (other than in its capacity as an arranger or agent under the Facility) and (b) subject to the Borrower’s written expense reimbursement policies as delivered
to the Arranger prior to its execution of this Commitment Letter, to reimburse each Commitment Party and its affiliates upon demand for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented
fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of counsel for all Commitment Parties and their affiliates, taken as a whole and, if necessary, of a single local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in
multiple jurisdictions) (and, in the case of a conflict of interest where Commitment Party or its affiliate affected by such conflict informs you of such conflict, and thereafter retains its own counsel, of one additional firm of counsel for each
such group of similarly-situated persons, taken as a whole) incurred on or after June 1, 2014 (other than any reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, which shall be reimbursable
regardless of when incurred) in connection with the Facility and any related documentation (including, without limitation, this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and the Credit Documentation) or the administration, amendment, modification or waiver
thereof. You further agree to pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses of each Commitment Party and its affiliates (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with
the enforcement of any of its rights and remedies hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment Letter to the contrary, no indemnified person shall be liable for (i) any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients
of Information, Projections or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent such damages are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified person, or a material breach by such indemnified person of its obligations under this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter by such
indemnified person, or (ii) any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Facility, the use of proceeds thereof, the Transactions or any related transaction. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effectuated without
your prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but, if settled with your written consent, or if there is a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction against an indemnified person in any such
Proceeding for which you are required to indemnify such indemnified person pursuant to the preceding paragraph, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless each indemnified person from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with the preceding paragraph. You will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified person, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to
terminate any Proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any indemnified person is a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination (i) includes an unconditional release of
each indemnified person from all liability arising out of such Proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability, or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified person. Notwithstanding the
foregoing paragraphs, each indemnified person shall be obligated to refund or return any and all amounts paid by you under the paragraph above to such indemnified person for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent such
indemnified person is not (or is found not to be) entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof. 

  
 7 

 You acknowledge that each Commitment Party and its affiliates (the term “Commitment
Party” as used below in this paragraph being understood to include such affiliates) may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including, without limitation, financial advisory services) to other companies in respect
of which you may have conflicting interests or a commercial or competitive relationship with and otherwise. In particular, you acknowledge that Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS&Co.”) is acting as a buy-side financial
advisor to you in connection with the Transactions. You agree not to assert or allege any claim based on actual or potential conflict of interest arising or resulting from, on the one hand, the engagement of MS&Co. in such capacity and our
obligations hereunder, on the other hand. No Commitment Party will use confidential information obtained from you by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby or other relationships with you in connection with the performance by the Commitment
Parties of services for other companies, and no Commitment Party will furnish any such information to other companies or their advisors. You also acknowledge that no Commitment Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby, or to furnish to you, confidential information obtained from other companies. You acknowledge that each Commitment Party is acting pursuant to a contractual relationship on an arm’s length basis, and the parties hereto do
not intend that any Commitment Party or its affiliates act or be responsible as a fiduciary to the Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other person. The Borrower hereby expressly disclaims any fiduciary relationship and agrees
that it is responsible for making its own independent judgments with respect to any transactions (including the Transactions) entered into between it and the Commitment Parties. The Borrower also acknowledges that no Commitment Party has advised and
none is advising the Borrower as to any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax matters, and that the Borrower is consulting its own advisors concerning such matters to the extent it deems appropriate. 

6. Governing Law, etc. This Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of
the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of law to the extent that the application of the laws of another jurisdiction will be required thereby; provided, however, that (a) the interpretation of the
definition of “Acquired Business Material Adverse Effect” and whether there shall have occurred an Acquired Business Material Adverse Effect, (b) whether the Acquisition has been consummated as contemplated by the Acquisition
Agreement and (c) the determination of whether the representations made by the Target are accurate and whether as a result of any inaccuracy of any such representations you (or your applicable affiliates) have the right to terminate your (or
their) obligations, or have the right not to consummate the Acquisition, under the Acquisition Agreement, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any conflict of laws principles,
provisions or rules (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would result in the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. The parties hereto hereby waive any right they may have to a
trial by jury with respect to any claim, action, suit or proceeding arising out of or contemplated by this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter. The parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
federal and New York State courts located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan (and appellate courts thereof) in connection with any dispute related to, contemplated by, or arising out of this Commitment Letter and agree that any service of
process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to such party shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or proceeding relating to any such dispute. The parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waive, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and agree that any final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit upon the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. 
 7.
PATRIOT Act. We hereby notify you that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (October 26, 2001), as amended) (the “PATRIOT Act”), the Commitment Parties and the
other Lenders may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies you, which information includes your name and address, and other information that will allow the Commitment Parties and the other Lenders to identify you in
accordance with the PATRIOT Act. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the PATRIOT Act and is effective for each Commitment Party and the other Lenders.

that neither this Commitment Letter nor the Fee Letter nor any of their terms or substance shall be disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other person except (a) to your officers, directors, employees, stockholders, partners, members,
accountants, attorneys, agents and advisors on a confidential and need-to-know basis, (b) as may be required by law or compelled in a judicial or administrative proceeding or as otherwise required by law or requested by a governmental authority
(in which case you agree to the extent permitted under applicable law to inform us promptly thereof), (c) this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter (provided that the Fee Letter is redacted in a manner satisfactory to MSSF) may be disclosed to
the Seller, the Target and their respective officers, directors, employees, accountants, attorneys, agents and advisors on a confidential and need-to-know basis, (d) this Commitment Letter (but not the Fee Letter) may be disclosed (i) in

person other than the parties hereto and the indemnified persons. We may assign our commitments and agreements hereunder, in whole or in part, to any of our affiliates (it being understood and agreed that no such assignment to an affiliate shall
reduce the amount of our commitments hereunder or otherwise relieve, release or novate us from our obligations hereunder except as expressly provided for in Section 2 above) and, subject to the applicable requirements set forth in
Section 2 above, to any proposed Lender prior to the Closing Date, and not otherwise. This Commitment Letter may not be amended or waived except by an instrument in writing signed by you and us. This Commitment Letter may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Commitment Letter by electronic transmission (including by facsimile or
electronic .pdf) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. This Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter are the only agreements that have been entered into among us with respect to the Facility and set forth the entire
understanding of the parties with respect thereto. No individual has been authorized by any Commitment Party or its affiliates to make any oral or written statements that are inconsistent with this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter. 

Each of the parties hereto agrees that this Commitment Letter is a binding and enforceable agreement with respect to the subject matter
contained herein, including an agreement to negotiate in good faith the Credit Documentation by the parties hereto in a manner consistent with this Commitment Letter, it being acknowledged and agreed that the commitments provided hereunder are

portion of the Facility. 
 Without your prior written consent, MSSF may not use the name of the Borrower or the Target or any of their
respective affiliates or place advertisements in financial and other newspapers and periodicals or on a home page or similar place for dissemination of information on the Internet or worldwide web or circulate similar promotional materials in the
form of a “tombstone” or otherwise (including any oral communications), describing the names of the Borrower, Target and their respective affiliates (or any of them) or the amount, type and closing date of such Transactions;
provided, however, that in no event shall MSSF be prohibited from using such names or information in connection with its syndication efforts hereunder, as contemplated herein, or from using any publicly disclosed information (it being
understood that such matters shall still be in consultation with the Borrower). 
 The compensation, reimbursement, indemnification,
confidentiality, syndication and clear market provisions contained herein and in the Fee Letter shall remain in full force and effect regardless of whether Credit Documentation shall be executed and delivered and notwithstanding the termination of

(provided, that for the purposes of determining a change in law, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Basel III, and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated under, or issued in connection with,
either of the foregoing, shall be deemed to have been introduced or adopted after the date of the Credit Documentation, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued; provided further, that the applicable Lender is generally
seeking, or intending to generally seek, comparable compensation from similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities (to the extent such Lender has the right under such similar credit facilities to do so) and from changes in
withholding or other taxes (other than franchise or income taxes) and (b) indemnifying the Lenders for “breakage costs” incurred in connection with, among other things, any payment or prepayment of a LIBOR Loan (as defined in

affected persons similarly situated taken as a whole).

  
 5 

					
		 		  	The Administrative Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders (and their affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors and agents) will have no liability for, and will be indemnified and held harmless against,
any loss, liability, cost or expense incurred in respect of the financing contemplated hereby or the use or the proposed use of proceeds of the Facility (except to the extent found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or material breach of the Credit Documentation by the indemnified party) (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable
and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to all indemnified persons taken as a whole and, if necessary, of one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction, and solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional

Interest and Certain Fees 
  

			
		
	Interest Rate Options:	  	The Borrower may elect that the Loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to:
		
		  	 (i) the ABR plus the Applicable Margin; or

		
		  	 (ii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

		
		  	As used herein:
		
		  	“ABR” means, for any day, a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, (ii) the rate of interest per annum from time to
time published in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal as being the “Prime Lending Rate” or, if more than one rate is published as the Prime Lending Rate, then the highest of such rates (the “Prime
Rate”) (each change in the Prime Rate to be effective as of the date of publication in The Wall Street Journal of a “Prime Lending Rate” that is different from that published on the preceding domestic business day);
provided, that in the event that The Wall Street Journal shall, for any reason, fail or cease to publish the Prime Lending Rate, the Administrative Agent shall choose a reasonably comparable index or source to use as the basis for the Prime
Lending Rate and (iii) the one month Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.00%. Each change in any interest rate provided for herein based upon the ABR resulting from a change in the Prime Lending Rate, the federal funds effective rate or the Adjusted
LIBO Rate shall take effect at the time of such change in the Prime Lending Rate, the federal funds effective rate, or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, respectively.
		
		  	“Adjusted LIBO Rate” means the LIBO Rate, as adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for eurocurrency liabilities (if any).
		
		  	“Applicable Margin” means a percentage determined in accordance with the pricing grid attached hereto as Annex I-A (the “Pricing Grid”).
		
		  	“LIBO Rate” means the rate for eurodollar deposits in the London interbank market for a period of one, two, three or six months, in each case as selected by the Borrower, appearing on Page LIBOR01 of the Reuters
screen.
		
	Interest Payment Dates:	  	In the case of Loans bearing interest based upon the ABR (“ABR Loans”), quarterly in arrears on the last business day of each March, June, September and December.

  
 1 

							
		  	In the case of Loans bearing interest based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate (“LIBOR Loans”), on the last day of each relevant interest period and, in the case of any interest period longer than three months,
on each successive date three months after the first day of such interest period.
		
	 Commitment Fees:
	  	The Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, commitment fees (the “Commitment Fees”) to each Lender under the Facility calculated at a rate per annum equal to 0.25% on the daily average undrawn
Commitments of such Lender, accruing during the period commencing on the later of (i) the date that is 60 days following the date of the Commitment Letter and (ii) the date of execution of the credit agreement for the Facility, payable in arrears
upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Closing Date and (ii) the termination of the Commitments.
		
	Duration Fees:	  	The Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, duration fees (the “Duration Fees”) for the account of each Lender in amounts equal to the percentage, as determined in accordance with the grid below, of the
principal amount of the Loan of such Lender outstanding at the close of business, New York City time, on each date set forth in the grid below, payable on each such date:

overdue principal of any Loan, 2% above the rate otherwise applicable thereto or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% above the rate applicable to ABR Loans.
		
	Rate and Fee Basis:	  	All per annum rates shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days (or 365/366 days, in the case of ABR Loans the interest rate payable on which is then based on the Prime Rate) for actual days elapsed.

 For purposes of the foregoing, (a) if neither Moody’s nor S&P shall have in effect a rating for any Index Debt
(other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the penultimate sentence of this paragraph), then both such rating agencies shall be deemed to have established ratings for such Index Debt in the lowest rating level; (b) if only one of
Moody’s and S&P shall have in effect a rating for any Index Debt, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined on the basis of such single rating; (c) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s or
S&P for any Index Debt shall fall within different rating levels, the Applicable Margin shall be based on the rating level corresponding to the higher of such ratings, unless such ratings differ by two or more rating levels, in which case the
Applicable Margin will be based upon the rating level one level below the rating level corresponding to the higher of such ratings; and (d) if any rating for any Index Debt established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s or
S&P shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of Moody’s or S&P), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first announced by the applicable rating agency. Each change in the
Applicable Margin shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of Moody’s or S&P shall change, or
if any such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend the references to specific ratings to reflect such changed rating system or the
non-availability of ratings from such rating agency, and pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the ratings of such rating agency most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation shall be employed in determining the Applicable
Margin. For the purposes hereof, “Index Debt” means the senior, unsecured, non-credit enhanced, long-term indebtedness for borrowed money of the Borrower.
