Agreement have been indefeasibly paid in full, in cash and, in each case in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) after the date the loans and other obligations under the May 2014 Credit Agreement have
been indefeasibly paid in full, interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.06(c) (including interest on past due interest) and all interest accrued but unpaid on or after the Maturity Date shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event
of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end

a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day); provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to
Section 2.14, bear interest for one day. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and such determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding.

 Section 2.07 Termination of Commitments. The Commitments shall automatically
terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date. 
 Section 2.08 Interest Elections. (a) Each
Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, Borrower may elect to
convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.08. Borrower may elect different options with
respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a
separate Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Borrower shall not be entitled to request any conversion or continuation that, if made, would result in more than five Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any one time. 

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.08, Borrower shall deliver, by hand delivery or facsimile (or transmit by other
electronic transmission if arrangements for doing so have been approved in writing by the Administrative Agent), a duly completed and executed Interest Election Request to the Administrative Agent not later than the time that a Borrowing Request

(c) Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information: 

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to
different portions thereof, or if outstanding Borrowings are being combined, allocation to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each
resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall
be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and 

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to
such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 

  
 44 

 If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an
Interest Period, then Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
 (d) Promptly following
receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 

(e) If an Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing is not timely delivered prior to the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require, by notice to Borrower, that (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each
Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 Section 2.09
Repayment of Loans. To the extent not previously irrevocably paid in full in cash, all Loans shall be due and payable on the earlier to occur of (x) the Maturity Date and (y) the date that is one Business Day after the date the

(i) so long as no Default shall then exist or arise therefrom, such proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the
extent that Borrower has delivered a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Borrower to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date setting forth Borrower’s intention to repair, replace or restore the property that was the subject of
such Casualty Event, no later than 180 days following the date of receipt of such proceeds (the “Casualty Proceeds Receipt Date”); and 

(ii) if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be so applied within such 180-day period, such unused portion shall be applied
on the last day of such period as a mandatory prepayment as provided in this Section 2.10(g). 
 (h) Application of
Prepayments. 
 (i) Prior to any optional prepayment hereunder, Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and
shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(h)(iii), subject to the provisions of this Section 2.10(h). 

  
 46 

 (ii) Amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section 2.10 to the prepayment of shall
be applied, as applicable, first to reduce outstanding ABR Loans. Any amounts remaining after each such application shall be applied to prepay Eurodollar Loans. 

(iii) Notice of Prepayment. Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by written notice of any prepayment hereunder (i) in
the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment and (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City

reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Such notice to the Lenders may be by electronic
communication. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing and otherwise in accordance with this Section 2.10. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent
required by Section 2.06. 
 (iv) Waiver of Mandatory Prepayments. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.10, (i) in the case of any mandatory prepayment of the Loans on or prior to the date that is six months after the Closing Date, Lenders may waive, by written notice to Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the
date on which such mandatory prepayment would otherwise be required to be made hereunder, the right to receive the amount of such mandatory prepayment of the Loans, (ii) if any Lender or Lenders elect to waive the right to receive the amount of
such mandatory prepayment, all of the amount that otherwise would have been applied to mandatorily prepay the Loans of such Lender or Lenders shall be offered by Borrower to the remaining non-waiving Lender or Lenders on a pro rata basis,
based on the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans, (iii) if and to the extent any such non-waiving Lender does not elect by written notice to Borrower and the Administrative Agent within three Business Days following the date
on which the offer is made pursuant to clause (ii) above to accept such offer, such Lender shall be deemed to have rejected such offer, and (iv) any amounts not applied to the prepayment of Loans pursuant to clause (ii) or
clause (iii) above may be retained by Borrower and used in accordance with the terms herein. 
 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Section 2.10, (A) to the extent that (v) any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(c), (w) any of or all the Net Cash
Proceeds of any Equity Issuance made by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(d), (x) any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds from Extraordinary Receipts received by a Foreign Subsidiary giving
rise to a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(e), (y) any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Debt Issuance by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(f) or (z) any of or
all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Casualty Event of a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(g), in each case are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United
States, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds so affected will not be 

  
 47 

 
required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.10 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long as the applicable local law will not permit
repatriation to the United States (Borrower hereby agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once
such repatriation of such affected Net Cash Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be immediately effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than five Business
Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.10 and (B) to the extent that Borrower has determined in good faith that
repatriation of any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds described in clause (A) above would have a material adverse tax consequence to such Foreign Subsidiary or the Borrower (directly or indirectly) (Borrower hereby agreeing to use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all customary actions to eliminate any material adverse tax consequence), the Net Cash Proceeds so affected shall not be required to be applied to repay the Loans at the
times required by this Section 2.l0 and may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long as repatriation would result in a material adverse tax consequence with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds. 

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10, no prepayment of the Loans shall be permitted or required pursuant to
Section 2.10(b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) until the loans and other obligations under the May 2014 Credit Agreement have been indefeasibly paid in full or such prepayment has been waived by the lenders under the May 2014 Credit
Agreement in accordance with Section 2.10 therein. 
 Section 2.11 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the
commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing: 
 (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be
final and conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period; or 

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 
 then the
Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no
longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar
Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 

  
 48 

 Section 2.12 Increased Costs; Change in Legality. (a) If any Change in
Law shall: 
 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or
similar requirement against property of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by or participated in by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate); 

(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this
Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender; or 
 (iii) subjects any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any Taxes
(other than (A) Indemnified Taxes indemnified pursuant to Section 2.15 and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its Loans, principal, letters of credit, Commitments, or other Obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital
attributable thereto; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender reasonably deems
to be material, of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder (whether of
principal, interest or otherwise), then Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, upon its demand, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent for such additional costs incurred or
reduction suffered, it being understood that, to the extent duplicative of the provisions of Section 2.15, this Section 2.12 shall not apply to Taxes. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to
this paragraph, it shall promptly notify Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. The protection of this Section 2.12 shall be available to each Lender regardless of
any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed. 
 (b) If any
Lender determines (in good faith, but in its sole absolute discretion) that any Change in Law regarding Capital Requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such
Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in
Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth
in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 2.12(a) or (b) shall be delivered to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within three Business Days after receipt thereof. 

  
 49 

 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 365
days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 365-day period referred to above shall be extended to indicate the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any
Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to Borrower and to the Administrative Agent: 

(i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness (as determined in
good faith by such Lender)) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans), whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Loan (or
to convert an ABR Loan to a Eurodollar Loan or to continue a Eurodollar Loan for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional
Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn by such Lender by written notice to Borrower and to the Administrative Agent; and 

(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all
such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in Section 2.12(f). 
 In the
event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i)or (ii)above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted
Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans. 

(f) For purposes of Section 2.12(e), a notice to Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such
Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by Borrower. 

Section 2.13 Breakage Payments. In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment, whether optional or mandatory, of any
principal of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than the last day of the Interest Period
applicable 

  
 50 

 
thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar
Loan earlier than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16, then, in any such event, Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense
attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have
accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate excluding the Applicable Margin that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then
current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue a Eurodollar Loan, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such
principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of
any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be delivered to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive
and binding absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within three Business Days after receipt thereof. 

Section 2.14 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) Borrower shall make each payment required
to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or of amounts payable under Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.15, or otherwise) on or before the time expressly required hereunder or under
such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim. Any amounts received
after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative
Agent, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the persons specified
therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day
that is not a Business Day, unless specified otherwise, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such
extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in Dollars. 
 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and
available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of
principal then due to such parties. 

  
 51 

 (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim (including pursuant to
Section 10.08) or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest
thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such
payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of
the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.14(c) shall not be
construed to apply to any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of its Loans to any Eligible Assignee or
participant, other than to any Company or any Affiliates thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.14(c) shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable
Legal Requirements, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct
creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from
Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such
date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of
the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank compensation. 

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to 2.14(d) or 10.03(e), then the
Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such
Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 Section 2.15 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by
or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense and free and clear of and without deduction, reduction or

  
 52 

 
withholding for any and all Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes shall be required by applicable Legal Requirements to be deducted or
withheld from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after making all such required deductions (including such deductions, reductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section 2.15) the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions, reductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the Borrower, if applicable,
shall make such deductions, reductions or withholdings and (iii) the Borrower, if applicable, shall timely pay the full amount so deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements. 

(b) In addition, and without any duplication, the Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable Legal Requirements, or at the option of the Administrative Agent reimburse it for payment of, any Other Taxes. 
 (c) The Borrower
shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within three Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on
or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this
Section 2.15) and any penalties, interest and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (in each case, with a copy delivered concurrently to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own
behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative
Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without
limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any
Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes
were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each
Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any
amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d). 

  
 53 

 (e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and in any event
within 30 days following any such payment being due, by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
evidencing such payment, a copy of the Tax Return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(f) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which
Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by
applicable Legal Requirements, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements or reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding
or at a reduced rate of withholding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Foreign Lender shall (i) furnish to Borrower and the Administrative Agent either (a) two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or successor form), (b) two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or successor form) (c) two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8EXP (or successor form) or (d) two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or successor form) (with any required attachments), certifying, in each case, to such
Foreign Lender’s legal entitlement to an exemption or reduction from U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to all payments hereunder, and (ii) to the extent it may lawfully do so at such times, upon reasonable request by Borrower or
the Administrative Agent, provide a new Form W-8BEN (or successor form), Form W-8ECI (or successor form), Form W-8EXP (or successor form) or Form W8IMY (or successor form) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered
form to reconfirm any complete exemption from, or any entitlement to a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to any payment hereunder (or shall promptly notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its legal inability to provide
such form); provided that any Foreign Lender (or other beneficial owner of a payment hereunder) that is relying on the so-called “portfolio interest exemption” within the meaning of Section 881(c) of the Code shall also furnish
a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate” in the form of Exhibit L if it is furnishing a Form W-8BEN. Any Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall (i) furnish to Borrower and the Administrative Agent two accurate and
complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor form) certifying its exemption from backup withholding, or shall otherwise establish an exemption from U.S. backup withholding and (ii) upon reasonable
request by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide a new From W-9 (or successor form) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form. 

(g) If a payment made to a Lender hereunder may be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax under FATCA, such Lender shall deliver to Borrower
and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the 

  
 54 

 
Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with
its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.15(g), the term
“FATCA” shall include any amendments to FATCA after the date hereof. 
 (h) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender (or an
assignee) determines in its sole discretion that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 2.15, it shall pay over such refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or the Other
Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such
refund); provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) is required to repay all or a portion of such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority, Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative
Agent or such Lender (or assignee), shall repay the amount paid over to Borrower that is required to be repaid (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender
(or assignee) within three Business Days after receipt of written notice that the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) is required to repay such refund (or a portion thereof) to such Governmental Authority. Nothing contained in this
Section 2.15(h) shall require the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or assignee) to make available its Tax Returns or any other information which it reasonably deems confidential or privileged to Borrower or any other person.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or assignee) be required to pay any amount to Borrower the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) in a
less favorable net after-tax position than the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) would have been in if the additional amounts giving rise to such refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes had never been paid. 

Section 2.16 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Mitigation of Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12(a) or (b), or if Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding
or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce
materially amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12(a), 2.12(b) or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future, (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense, (iii) would not require such
Lender to take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions, and (iv) would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower shall pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred
by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. A certificate setting forth such costs and expenses submitted by such Lender to the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 55 

 (b) Replacement of Lenders. In the event (i) any Lender delivers a certificate
requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.12(a) or (b), (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.12(e), (iii) Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, (iv) any Lender fails to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by Borrower that requires the consent of 100%
of the Lenders or 100% of all affected Lenders and, which, in each case, has been consented to by all other Lenders or all other affected Lenders, as the case may be, or (v) any Lender defaults in its obligations to make Loans or other
extensions of credit hereunder, Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require
such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee which shall
assume such assigned obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (w) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (x) such assignment shall not conflict with
any applicable Legal Requirement, (y) Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, and (z) Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the
affected Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest and any prepayment premium or penalty (if any) accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans of such Lender affected by such
assignment plus all Fees and other amounts owing to or accrued for the account of such Lender (including any amounts under Sections 2.12 and 2.13); provided further that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the
circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 2.12(a) or (b) or notice under Section 2.12(e) or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.15, as the case
may be, cease to cause such Lender to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.12(e), or cease to result in amounts
being payable under Section 2.15, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(a)), or if such Lender shall waive its right to claim further compensation under
Section 2.12(a) or (b) in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.12(e) or shall waive its right to further payments under Section 2.15 in respect of such
circumstances or event or shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification, as the case may be, then such Lender shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Each Lender hereby
grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any Assignment and Assumption necessary to effectuate any assignment of such
Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.16(b). 
 (c) Defaulting Lenders.
Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then (i) during any 

  
 56 

 
Default Period (as defined below) with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender”, and the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s
Commitments and Loans shall be excluded for purposes of voting, and the calculation of voting, on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Loan Documents, except that the amount of such Defaulting
Lender’s Commitments and Loans shall be included for purposes of voting, and the calculation of voting, on the matters set forth in Section 10.02(b)(i)-(ix) (including the granting of any consents or waivers) only to the extent
that any such matter disproportionately affects such Defaulting Lender and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, until such time as the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to
zero, (A) any voluntary prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(a) shall, if Borrower so directs at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Loans of other Lenders in accordance with
Section 2.10(a) as if such Defaulting Lender had no Loans outstanding, and (B) any mandatory prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.10 shall, if Borrower so directs at the time of making such mandatory prepayment,
be applied to the Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Loans of such Defaulting Lender) in accordance with Section 2.10, it being understood and agreed that Borrower shall be entitled to retain any portion of any mandatory prepayment
of the Loans that is not paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a result of the operation of the provisions of this clause (B). 

For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Funding Default” means, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, the occurrence of
any of the events set forth in the definition of “Defaulting Lender,” (ii) “Defaulted Loan” means the Loans of a Defaulting Lender; (iii) “Default Period” means, with respect to any Defaulting
Lender, the period commencing on the date of the applicable Funding Default and ending on the earliest of the following dates: (a) the date on which all Commitments are cancelled or terminated and/or the Obligations are declared or become
immediately due and payable, (b) with respect to any Funding Default, the date on which (1) such Defaulting Lender shall have delivered to Borrower and the Administrative Agent a written reaffirmation of its intention to honor its
obligations under this Agreement with respect to its Commitment(s), and (b) the date on which Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders waive all Funding Defaults of such Defaulting Lender in writing. 

ARTICLE III 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders (with references in this Article III to
the Companies being references thereto after giving effect to the Transactions unless otherwise expressly stated) on the Closing Date that: 

Section 3.01 Organization; Powers. Each Company (a) is duly incorporated or organized and validly existing under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, (b) has all requisite power and authority and all requisite governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals to carry on its business as now conducted and (c) is
qualified, licensed and in good standing to do business in every jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except in such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify, be licensed or be in good standing could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 57 

 Section 3.02 Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions to be entered
into by the Borrower are within the Borrower’s powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action on the part of the Borrower. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and
constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which the Borrower is to be a party, when executed and delivered by the Borrower, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject
to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 

Section 3.03 No Conflicts; No Default. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, the borrowings hereunder and the use of proceeds thereof (a) do not require any consent, exemption, authorization or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except (i) such
as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and (ii) consents, approvals, exemptions, authorizations, registrations, filings, permits or actions the failure of which to obtain or perform could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect, (b) will not violate the Organizational Documents of any Company, (c) will not violate or result in a default or require any consent or approval under (x) the May 2014 Credit Agreement or any other
indenture, instrument, agreement, or other document binding upon any Company or its property or to which any Company or its property is subject, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any Company, except for
violations, defaults or the creation of such rights that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (y) any Organizational Document, (d) will not violate any Legal Requirement in any material respect and
(e) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any property of any Company. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

Section 3.04 Financial Statements; Projections. (a) Borrower has heretofore delivered to the Lenders the consolidated
balance sheets and related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of each of Borrower and Schuff (i) as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011
audited by and accompanied by the unqualified opinion of, in the case of Borrower BDO USA, LLP, independent public accountants, and in the case off Schuff, Grant Thornton LLP, independent public accountants and (ii) as of and for the
three-month period ended June 30, 2014 and for the comparable period of the preceding fiscal year, in each case, certified by the chief financial officer of Borrower. Such financial statements and all financial statements delivered pursuant to
Sections 5.01(a), (b) and (c) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the applicable period covered, respectively, thereby and present fairly and accurately the financial condition
and results of operations and cash flows of each of Borrower and Schuff as of the dates and for the periods to which they relate (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes). As of the Closing Date, except as set forth
in such financial statements, there are no material liabilities of any Company of any kind, whether 

  
 58 

 
accrued, contingent, absolute, determined, determinable or otherwise, and there is no existing condition, situation or set of circumstances which could reasonably be expected to result in such a
liability. 
 (b) Borrower has heretofore delivered to the Lenders the forecasts of financial performance of (x) Borrower and its
Subsidiaries for the fiscal year 2014 and (y) Borrower and its Subsidiaries (other than Schuff and its Subsidiaries) for the fiscal year 2015 (the “Projections”). The Projections were prepared in good faith by the Borrower and
based upon (i) the assumptions stated therein (which assumptions were believed by the Borrower on the closing date of the May 2014 Credit Agreement to be reasonable), (ii) accounting principles consistent with the historical audited
financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 3.04(a) above consistently applied throughout the fiscal years covered thereby, and (iii) the best information available to the Borrower as of the closing date of the May 2014
Credit Agreement. 
 (c) Since December 31, 2013, there has been no event, change, circumstance, condition, development or occurrence
that has had, or could reasonably be expected to result in, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 3.05 Properties. Each Company has good and marketable title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its property
material to its business, free and clear of all Liens and irregularities, deficiencies and defects in title except for Permitted Liens and minor irregularities, deficiencies and defects in title that, individually or in the aggregate, do not, and
could not reasonably be expected to, interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such property for its intended purpose. 

(a) The property of the Companies, taken as a whole, (i) is in good operating order, condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear
excepted), and (ii) constitutes all the property which is required for the business and operations of the Companies as presently conducted. 

(b) [Reserved]. 
 (c) [Reserved].

 (d) Each Company owns or has rights to use all of its property and all rights with respect to any of the foregoing used in, necessary for
or material to each Company’s business as currently conducted. The use by each Company of its property and all such rights with respect to the foregoing do not infringe on the rights or other interests of any person, other than any infringement
that could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No claim has been made and remains outstanding that any Company’s use of any of its property does or may violate the rights of any
third party that, individually or in the aggregate, has had, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect. The Real Property is zoned in all material respects to permit the uses for which such Real Property is currently
being used. The present uses of the Real Property and the current operations of each Company’s business do not violate in any material respect any provision of any applicable building codes, subdivision regulations, fire regulations, health
regulations or building and zoning by-laws. 

  
 59 

 (e) Except for exceptions to the following that, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, there is no pending or threatened condemnation or eminent domain proceeding with respect to, or that could affect any of the Real Property of the Companies. 

Each parcel of Real Property is taxed as a separate tax lot and is currently being used in a manner that is consistent with and in compliance
in all material respects with the property classification assigned to it for real estate tax assessment purposes. 
 Section 3.06
Intellectual Property. Each Company owns or is licensed to use, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), all patents and patent applications, trademarks, trade names, service marks, copyrights, domain names and
applications for registration thereof, technology, trade secrets, proprietary information, inventions, know-how and processes (the “Intellectual Property”), in each case necessary for the conduct of its business as currently
conducted, except for those the failure to own or license which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

(a) No claim has been asserted and is pending by any person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the
validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does any Loan Party know, as of the date hereof, of any valid basis for any such claim, which, either individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. The use of such Intellectual Property by each Company does not infringe the rights of any person, except for such claims and infringements which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. Except pursuant to licenses and other user agreements entered into by each Company in the ordinary course of business, no Company has done anything to authorize or enable any other person to use any such Intellectual
Property. Each Company has taken commercially reasonable actions that in the exercise of their reasonable business judgment should have been taken to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all trade secrets used in such Company’s
business. 
 (b) No Violations or Proceedings. (i) To the knowledge of the Loan Parties, there is no violation by others of any
right of any Company with respect to any Intellectual Property, other than such violations that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) no Company is infringing upon or
misappropriating any copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right of any other person, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) no Company is in breach of, or in
default under, any license of Intellectual Property by any other person, to such Company, except in any case where such breach or default, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and
(iv) no proceedings have been instituted or are pending against any Company or, to 

  
 60 

 
the knowledge of the Loan Parties, threatened, and no claim against any Company has been received by any Company, alleging any such infringement or misappropriation, except to the extent that
such proceedings or claims, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c)
No Impairment. Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, nor the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will alter, impair or otherwise
affect or require the consent, approval or other authorization of any other person in respect of any right of any Company in any Intellectual Property, except to the extent that such alteration, impairment, effect, consent, approval or other
authorization, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (d) No
Agreement or Order Materially Affecting Intellectual Property. No Company is subject to any settlement, covenant not to sue or other instrument, agreement or other document, or any outstanding Order, which may materially affect the validity or
enforceability or restrict in any manner such Company’s use, licensing or transfer of any of the Intellectual Property. 

Section 3.07 Equity Interests and Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.07(a) sets forth a list of (i) each Subsidiary of
Borrower and its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization as of the Closing Date and (ii) the number of each class of its Equity Interests authorized, and the number outstanding, on the Closing Date and the number of Equity Interests
covered by all outstanding options, warrants, rights of conversion or purchase and similar rights on the Closing Date. All Equity Interests of each Company are duly and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable, and, other than the Equity
Interests of Borrower are directly or indirectly owned by Borrower. Each Loan Party is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Equity Interests, free of any and all Liens, rights or claims of other persons,
except the security interest created by the May 2014 Security Documents and any other Permitted Liens that arise by operation of applicable Legal Requirements and are not voluntarily granted, and, as of the Closing Date, there are no outstanding
warrants, options or other rights (including derivatives) to purchase, or shareholder, voting trust or similar agreements outstanding with respect to, or property that is convertible into, or that requires the issuance or sale of, any such Equity
Interests (or any economic or voting interests therein). 
 Section 3.08 Litigation; Compliance with Legal Requirements.
(a) There are no actions, suits, claims, disputes or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or, to the best of the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened against or affecting any Company or any
business, property or rights of any Company (i) that purport to affect or involve any Loan Document or any of the Transactions or (ii) that have resulted, or could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result, in a
Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 3.09 Agreements. No Company is a party to any agreement, instrument or other document
or subject to any corporate or other constitutional restriction, or any restriction under its Organizational Documents, that has resulted, or could reasonably be expected to result, in a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 61 

 Section 3.10 Federal Reserve Regulations. (a) No Company is engaged
principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing, buying or carrying Margin Stock. 

(b) No part of the proceeds of any Credit Extension will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or
ultimately, for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the provisions of the regulations of the Board, including Regulation T, U or X. 

(c) After giving effect to the Acquisition, Margin Stock represents less than 25% of the total assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis. 
 Section 3.11 Investment Company Act, etc. No Company is (a) an “investment company”
or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (b)subject to regulation under any Legal Requirement (other than
Regulation X) that limits its ability to incur, create, assume or permit to exist Indebtedness or grant any Contingent Obligation in respect of Indebtedness. 

Section 3.12 Use of Proceeds. Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans (x) to finance the Transactions and pay any
related fees and expenses, (y) for Investments and Permitted Acquisitions in each case permitted hereunder and (z) general corporate purposes. 

Section 3.13 Taxes. Each Company has (a) timely filed or caused to be timely filed all federal, state, local and
foreign Tax Returns required to have been filed by it and all such Tax Returns are true and correct in all material respects and (b) duly and timely paid or caused to be duly and timely paid all U.S. federal income Taxes and all other material
Taxes (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) due and payable by it and all material Tax assessments received by it, except Taxes or Tax assessments that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Company has
set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. No Company has received written notice of any threatened tax assessments, deficiencies, audits or other proceedings and no such threatened (or any pending) tax assessments,
deficiencies, audits or other proceedings could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result, in a Material Adverse Effect. No Company has ever “participated” in a “listed transaction” within the meaning of
Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4(2). No Company is party to any tax sharing or similar agreement other than any such agreement among the Companies, except any such agreement that is not primarily concerned with the sharing of Taxes. 

Section 3.14 No Material Misstatements. Borrower has disclosed to the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or
other restrictions to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could 

  
 62 

 
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither any information or similar memorandum nor any of the other reports, financial statements, certificates or other information
furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material
misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information,
Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time. 

Section 3.15 Labor Matters. There are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against any Company pending or, to the best of the
knowledge of the Loan Parties, threatened that have resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of any Company have not been in violation of the Fair Labor
Standards Act of 1938, as amended, or any other applicable Legal Requirement dealing with such matters in any manner that has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from any Company, or
for which any claim may be made against any Company, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of such Company except to the extent that the failure to do
so has not resulted in, and could not reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect. The consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any
collective bargaining agreement to which any Company is bound. 
 Section 3.16 Solvency. Both immediately before and
immediately after the consummation of the Transactions to occur on the Closing Date and immediately following the making of each Credit Extension and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of each Credit Extension, (a) the fair
value of the properties of each Loan Party will exceed its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of each Loan Party will be greater than the amount that will be
required to pay the probable liability of its debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured, (c) each Loan Party will be able to pay its debts and
liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; (d) each Loan Party will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct its business in which it is engaged as such
business is now conducted and is proposed, contemplated or about to be conducted following the Closing Date; and (e) each Loan Party is “solvent” within the meaning given to that term and similar terms under any United States federal
or state laws relating to fraudulent transfers and conveyances. 
 Section 3.17 Employee Benefit Plans. (a) Except
as would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and each of its ERISA Affiliates is in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, including all applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the
regulations and published interpretations thereunder, with respect to all Employee Benefit Plans and Pension Plans. Each Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination
from the Internal Revenue Service for all required amendments and to the Company’s knowledge nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification. 

  
 63 

 (b) Except as would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no ERISA Event
has occurred or is expected to occur and no Pension Plan has any Unfunded Pension Liability. Within the last six years, no Pension Plan has been terminated, whether or not in a “standard termination” as that term is used in
Section 4041 of ERISA, nor has any Pension Plan (determined at any time within the last six years) with an Unfunded Pension Liability been transferred outside of the “controlled group” (within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(14)
of ERISA) of any Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates. Using actuarial assumptions and computation methods consistent with subpart I of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of any Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates to all
Multiemployer Plans in the event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of each such Multiemployer Plan, have not resulted in, and could not reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect.

 (c) Except as would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, each Foreign Plan has been maintained in substantial
compliance with its terms and with the requirements of all Legal Requirements and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities. Except as would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, no Company has incurred any material obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Plan. Except as would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the present value of the accrued
benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Plan which is funded, determined as of the end of the most recently ended, fiscal year of the respective Company on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did

even if the conditions set forth herein are met. 
 ARTICLE IX 

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 

Section 9.01 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as an agent of
such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, through its agents or employees, to take such actions on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions
of this Article IX are solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the Borrower shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Agent shall act
solely as an agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.
Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 

Section 9.02 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and
powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise
requires, include the person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in
any kind of business with, any Company or Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder and without duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 

  
 92 

 Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or
obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is
continuing, (b) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise in
writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02); provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in
its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability, if the Agent is not indemnified to its satisfactory, or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Legal Requirements including, for the avoidance of doubt any
action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Insolvency Law or that may effect a foreclosure, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender under any Debtor Relief Law, and (c) except as expressly set forth
in the Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose or shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the person serving as such Agent
or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary,
or as any Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof describing such default is given to such Agent by Borrower or a Lender, and no Agent shall be
responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder
or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document. Neither any Agent nor
any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents. 

Section 9.04 Reliance by Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying
upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed,
sent, or otherwise authenticated by a proper person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally and believed by it to be made by a proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance
with any condition hereunder to the 

  
 93 

 
making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless each Agent shall have
received written notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other advisors selected by it, and shall not be
liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or advisors. 

Section 9.05 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers
under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document by or through, or delegate any and all such rights and powers to, any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and
exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of each Agent and any such sub-agent,
and shall apply, without limiting the foregoing, to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. The Agents shall not be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent. 

Section 9.06 Successor Agent. Each Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 10 days’ prior notice to the
Lenders and Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower, to appoint a successor Agent from among the Lenders. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and
shall have accepted such appointment within 10 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which successor shall be a commercial banking institution
organized under the laws of the United States (or any State thereof) or a United States branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, in each case, having combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000; provided that if such
retiring Agent is unable to find a commercial banking institution that is willing to accept such appointment and which meets the qualifications set forth above, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and
the retiring (or retired) Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required
Lenders appoint a successor Agent. 
 Upon the acceptance of its appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring (or retired) Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. The fees payable by Borrower to
a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article IX, Section 10.03 and
Sections 11.08 to 11.10 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent.

  
 94 

 Section 9.07 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges
that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, conducted its own independent investigation of the
financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender further represents and warrants that it has reviewed any confidential information memorandum
or similar document and each other document made available to it on the Platform in connection with this Agreement and has acknowledged and accepted the terms and conditions applicable to the recipients thereof (including any such terms and
conditions set forth, or otherwise maintained, on the Platform with respect thereto). Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and based
on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document
furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 Section 9.08 Name Agents. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Lead Arranger,
the Book Manager, the Documentation Agent and the Syndication Agent hold such titles in name only, and that such titles confer no additional rights or obligations relative to those conferred on any Lender hereunder. 

Section 9.09 Indemnification. The Lenders severally agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such and each of its
Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective outstanding Loans and Commitments in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought
under this Section 9.09 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which all Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such outstanding Loans and Commitments as in
effect immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, fines, penalties, actions, claims, suits, judgments, litigations, investigations, inquiries or proceedings, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent or Related Person in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this
Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, the Transactions or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent or Related
Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing (IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY AGENT OR RELATED PERSON); provided that no
Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, claims, suits, judgments, litigations, investigations, inquiries or proceedings, costs, expenses or disbursements that are
found by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have directly resulted solely and directly from such Agent’s or Related Party’s, as the case may be, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements
in this Section 9.09 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

  
 95 

 Section 9.10 Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable law,
the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not
properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance
which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable
withholding tax from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all
expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred. 
 Section 9.11 Lender’s
Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgements. (a) Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with
Credit Extensions hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Borrower and its Subsidiaries. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to
make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times
thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to the Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent or Related Person of any Agent has made any representation
or warranty to it. Except for documents expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by an Agent to the Lenders, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility (either express or implied) to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information concerning the Borrower, including the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower, that may come in to the possession of an Agent or any of
its Related Persons.  
 (b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement or an Assignment Agreement and funding
its Loan, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable, on the Closing Date. 

Section 9.12 Reserved. 

  
 96 

 Section 9.13 Administrative Agent May File Bankruptcy Disclosure and Proofs of
Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan 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 Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(a) to file a verified statement pursuant to rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure that, in its sole opinion, complies with
such rule’s disclosure requirements for entities representing more than one creditor; 
 (b) to file and prove a claim for the whole
amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03
and 10.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (c) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each 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 Lenders, 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 this Agreement. To the extent
that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under this Agreement out of the estate in any such proceeding,
shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Lenders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding
whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. 
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the
Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations 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.

warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by
any Agent in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall any Agent have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person for damages of any kind, whether or not based on strict liability and including direct or
indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or related to the Borrower’s or any Agent’s transmissions of Communications through Internet (including the
Platform). Notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such
notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor. The Borrower understands that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks
associated with such distribution and agrees and assumes the risks associated with such electronic distribution, except to the extent caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent, as determined by a final,
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (e) The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications
by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next
sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in
writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address. Nothing
herein 

  
 99 

 
shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

 (f) The Borrower, each Lender and each Agent agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, store any Approved
Electronic Communications on the Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s customary document retention procedures and policies. 

(g) Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the
“Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable
law, including United States federal and state securities laws, to make reference to information that is not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain Non-Public Information with
respect to Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their securities for purposes of United States federal or state securities laws. In the event that any Public Lender has determined for itself to not access any information disclosed through the Platform or
otherwise, such Public Lender acknowledges that (i) other Lenders may have availed themselves of such information and (ii) neither Borrower nor the Administrative Agent has any responsibility for such Public Lender’s decision to limit
the scope of the information it has obtained in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 Section 10.02
Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by any Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of each Agent and the Lenders
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall
in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 10.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on Borrower in any case shall
entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
 (b) Subject to Section 2.16(c)
and Section 10.02(c), neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements
in writing entered into by Borrower and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, in each case with the written
consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall: 

  
 100 

 (i) increase or extend the expiry date of the Commitment of any Lender without
the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any condition precedent, covenant or Default (or any definition used, respectively, therein) shall constitute an
increase in or extension of the expiry date of the Commitment of any Lender for purposes of this clause (i)); 
 (ii) reduce
the principal amount or premium, if any, of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than interest pursuant to Section 2.06(c)), or reduce any Fees payable hereunder, or change the form or currency of payment of any
Obligation, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees
for purposes of this clause (ii)); 
 (iii) postpone or extend the maturity of any Loan, or any date for the payment of any
interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment (other than a waiver of any increase in the interest rate pursuant to Section 2.06(c)), without the written consent of each Lender directly
affected thereby; 
 (iv) change Section 2.14(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the order of or
the pro rata sharing of payments or setoffs required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender; 
 (v)
change any provision of this Section 10.02, change the percentages set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document (including this Section 10.02) specifying the number
or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; 

(vi) [reserved]; 

(vii) [reserved]; 

(viii) change Section 10.04(b) in a manner which further restricts assignments thereunder without the written
consent of each Lender; or 
 (ix) subordinate the Obligations under the Loan Documents to any other Indebtedness; 

provided, further, that (1) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent without the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and (2) any waiver, amendment or modification prior to the achievement of a successful 

  
 101 

 
syndication of the credit facility provided herein (as determined by the Arranger in its sole discretion) may not be effected without the written consent of the Arranger. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent if (x) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting
to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment, (y) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the principal of, premium, if any,
and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement, and (z) Section 2.16(b) is complied with. 

Section 10.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay, promptly upon demand: 

(i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Arranger and the Administrative Agent in
connection with the syndication of the Loans and Commitments, the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the administration of the Credit Extensions, and any actual or proposed amendment, supplement or waiver of any
of the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), including the reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket disbursements of one Advisor to the Administrative Agent and the Arranger,
taken as a whole, and filing and recording reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Borrower prior to the Closing Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the
Closing Date) and from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis as the applicable Agent shall deem appropriate); 

(ii) [reserved]; and 

(iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Arranger, the Administrative Agent, any
other Agent or any Lender, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and documented out-of-pocket disbursements of Advisors for any of the foregoing (limited to, in the case of the Lenders, documented fees and out-of-pocket disbursements
of one Advisor for the Lenders), incurred in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights under the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 10.03(a), or in connection with the collection of the Obligations,
including all such costs and expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Obligations. 
 (b) The
Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agents and each Lender and each of their respective Related Persons (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, all reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket costs and any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, fines, penalties, actions, judgments, suits and related expenses, including reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket disbursement of

  
 102 

 
one Advisor of the Lenders and one Advisor of each Agent (collectively, “Claims”), incurred by, imposed on or asserted against any Indemnitee, directly or indirectly, arising out
of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution, delivery, performance, administration or enforcement of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby or the performance by the parties thereto of
their respective obligations thereunder, (ii) any actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party
thereto, (iv) any Environmental Liability or any non-compliance with, or violation of, Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits applicable to any Company, or any Company’s business, or any property presently owned, leased, or operated
by any Company, (v) the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby (including the syndication of the Credit Facility) or (vi) any actual or prospective action, claim, suit, litigation, investigation,
inquiry or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or otherwise, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto;
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have directly resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. This Section 10.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc.
arising from any non-Tax claim. 
 (c) The Borrower agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and any
affected Lender, which consent(s) will not be unreasonably withheld, the Borrowers will not enter into any settlement of a Claim in respect of the subject matter of clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 10.03(b) unless such
settlement includes an explicit and unconditional release from the party bringing such Claim of all Indemnitees. 
 (d) The provisions of
this Section 10.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the
Loans and any other Obligations, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agents or any Lender. All
amounts due under this Section 10.03 shall be accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested. 

(e) To the extent that the Borrower fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Agents under Sections
10.03(a) or (b) in accordance with Section 9.03(g), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agents such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or
indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (such indemnity shall be effective whether or not the related losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses are incurred or asserted by any party hereto or any third party);
provided that the unreimbursed Claim was incurred by or asserted against any of the Agents in its capacity as such. For purposes of this Section 10.03(e), a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based
upon its share of the sum of the total outstanding Loans and unused Commitments at the time. 

  
 103 

 (f) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, the Borrower shall not
assert, and the Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, exemplary, consequential, or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) arising out
of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by
unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

 (g) All amounts due under this Section 10.03 shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor. 

Section 10.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent and each Lender, which consent may be withheld in their respective sole discretion (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, express 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 expressly provided in
Section 10.04(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the other Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

(b) Any Lender shall have the right at any time to assign to one or more assignees (other than any Company or any Affiliate thereof except as
provided in Section 10.04(j) below or a natural person) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that: 

(i) except in the case of (A) an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, (B) any
assignment made in connection with the primary syndication of the Commitments and Loans by the Arranger or (C) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or
Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption or an Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall
not be less than $1,000,000; 

  
 104 

 (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate
part of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; 
 (iii) the parties to each
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption (it being understood that each such delivery shall be deemed a representation by the assignee that it is not a Disqualified Lender or an Affiliate of a
Disqualified Lender (so long as the list of Disqualified Lenders has been made available to all Lenders), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that such fee shall not be payable in the case of an assignment by
any Lender to an Approved Fund of such Lender; 
 (iv) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and 
 (v) the Administrative Agent must give its prior written consent
to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); 
 (vi) the Borrower must give
its prior written consent to any assignment to a Disqualified Lender so long as a list of Disqualified Lenders has been made available to all Lenders by the Borrower; and 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 10.04(d), from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement (provided that any
liability of Borrower to such assignee under Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.15 shall be limited to the amount, if any, that would have been payable thereunder by Borrower in the absence of such assignment, except to the extent any
such amounts are attributable to a Change in Law occurring after the date of such assignment), and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations
under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15 and 10.03). 
 (c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an
agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount 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 in the absence of manifest error, and Borrower, 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 Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and
any Lender (with respect to its own interest only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

  
 105 

 (d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning
Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.04(b) and any written consent to
such assignment required by Section 10.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this
Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 10.04(b). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with the requirements of this
Section 10.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.04(e). 

(e) Any Lender shall have the right at any time, without the consent of, or notice to Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other person to
sell participations to any person (other than to a Person that is not an Eligible Assignee; provided that for the purposes of this provision, Disqualified Lenders shall be deemed to be Eligible Assignees unless a list of Disqualified Lenders
has been made available to all Lenders by the Borrower)) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to
it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and
(iii) Borrower, 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 Agreement. 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 the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that
such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) is described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the proviso to
Section 10.02(b) and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.04(f), each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.15 to the same extent as if it
were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.04(b). To the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were
a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees in writing to be subject to Section 2.14(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender shall, acting for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, maintain at one of its offices a register
for the recordation of the names and addresses of its Participants, and the amount and terms of its participations (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and
such Lender (and Borrower, to the extent that the Participant requests payment from Borrower) shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any person (including the identity of any Participant 

  
 106 

 
or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such
disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. 

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.12, 2.13 or 2.15 than the
applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the greater payment results from a Change in Law after the date the participation was sold to the Participant. A Participant
that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower,
to comply with Sections 2.15(f) and (g) as though it were a Lender. 
 (g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a
security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 10.04(g) shall not
apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such
Lender as a party hereto. Without limiting the foregoing, in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans or similar extensions of credit, such Lender may, without the consent of Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other
person, collaterally assign or pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including the Loans and Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement, to any holder of, trustee for, or any other
representative of holders of, obligations owed or securities issued, by such fund, as security for such obligations or securities. 
 (h)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting
Lender to the Administrative Agent and Borrower, the option to provide to Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that
(i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make
such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof; provided further that nothing herein shall make the SPC a “Lender” for the purposes of this Agreement, obligate Borrower or the Administrative Agent to deal with such SPC directly, obligate
Borrower in any manner to any greater extent than they were obligated to the Granting Lender, or increase costs or expenses of Borrower. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to deal solely with, and obtain good discharge from,
the Granting Lender and shall not be required to investigate or otherwise seek the consent or approval of any SPC, including for the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document. The making of a Loan
by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting 

  
 107 

 
Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting
Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial
paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United
States of America or any state thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.04(h), any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, Borrower and the
Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by Borrower and the Administrative Agent) providing
liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper
dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. 
 (i) The words “execution,”
“signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect,
validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Legal Requirement, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in
Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 

(j) Certain Permitted Loan Repurchases. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.04 or any other
provision of this Agreement, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, Borrower may repurchase Loans on the following basis: 

(i) Borrower may repurchase all or any portion of the Loans of one or more Lenders pursuant to an Assignment Agreement between
Borrower and such Lender or Lenders; provided that, with respect to such repurchases, Borrower shall simultaneously provide a copy of such Assignment Agreement and any other agreements between Borrower and such Lender with respect to such
repurchase to Administrative Agent; 
 (iii) Borrower shall conduct one or more modified Dutch auctions (each, an
“Auction”) to repurchase all or any portion of the Loans (such Loans, the “Offer Loans”) of Lenders, provided that, (A) Borrower delivers a notice of the Term Loans that will be subject to such Auction to
Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders) no later than noon (New York City time) at least five Business Days in advance of a proposed consummation date of such Auction indicating (1) the date on which the Auction will conclude,
(2) the maximum principal amount of Loans Borrower is willing to purchase in the Auction and (3) the range of discounts to par at which Borrower would be willing to 

  
 108 

 
repurchase the Offer Loans; (B) the maximum dollar amount of the Auction shall be no less than an aggregate $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof;
(C) Borrower shall hold the Auction open for a minimum period of two Business Days; (D) a Lender who elects to participate in the Auction may choose to tender all or part of such Lender’s Offer Loans; (E) the Auction shall be
made to Lenders holding the Offer Loans on a pro rata basis in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; and (F) the Auction shall be conducted pursuant to such procedures as the Administrative Agent may establish which are consistent with this
Section 10.04(j) and are reasonably acceptable to Borrower and any applicable auction manager, that a Lender must follow in order to have its Offer Loans repurchased; 

(iv) With respect to all repurchases made by Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.04(j), (A) Borrower shall pay to
the applicable assigning Lender all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the repurchased Loans to the date of repurchase of such Loans, (B) Borrower shall represent that, as of the launch date of the related Auction and the effective date of
any Assignment Agreement, it is not in possession of any material non-public information regarding Borrower, its Subsidiaries, or their assets or securities, that (x) has not been disclosed generally to the Lenders which are not “public
side” Lenders prior to such date and (y) could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to, a Lender’s decision to assign Loans to such Person, and (C) such repurchases shall not be deemed
to be voluntary prepayments pursuant to Section 2.10(a); and 
 (v) Following repurchase by Borrower pursuant to this
Section 10.04(j), the Loans so repurchased shall, without further action by any Person, be deemed cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold by Borrower), for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Credit
Documents, including, but not limited to (A) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (B) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or (C) the determination of Requisite Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Credit Document. In connection with any Loans
repurchased and cancelled pursuant to this Section 10.04(j), Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect any such cancellation. Any payment made by Borrower in connection with a repurchase permitted
by this Section 10.04(j) shall not be subject to the provisions of either Section 2.13 or Section 2.14(c). Failure by Borrower to make any payment to a Lender required by an agreement permitted by this Section 10.04(j) shall not
constitute an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a). 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.04 or any other
provision of this Agreement, Affiliated Lenders, may repurchase outstanding Loans on the following basis: 
 (i) No Affiliated Lender (other
than an Affiliated Debt Fund) shall have the right to purchase any Loan if, after giving effect to such purchase, Affiliated Lenders (other than Affiliated Debt Funds) in the aggregate would own Loans with an aggregate principal amount in excess of
25% of the aggregate principal amount of all Loans then outstanding; 

  
 109 

 (ii) No Affiliated Lender (other than an Affiliated Debt Fund) shall have any right, (A) to
consent to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other such action with respect to any of the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (B) to require any Agent or other Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking
any action) with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (C) to otherwise vote on any matter related to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (D) to attend any meeting with any Agent or Lender or receive any information
from any Agent or Lender or (E) to make or bring any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against the Agent or any Lender with respect to the duties and obligations of such Persons under the Loan Documents, provided, that (x) no
amendment, modification or waiver shall deprive such Affiliated Lender, in its capacity as Lender, of its share of any payments which the Lenders are entitled to share on a pro rata basis hereunder and (y) with respect to any amendment,
modification, waiver, consent or other action described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the first proviso of Section 10.02(b) that adversely affects such Affiliated Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) in a disproportionally
adverse manner as compared to other Lenders, such Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a lender without discretion in such proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not
Affiliated Lenders; and 
 (iii) each applicable assignee (other than an Affiliated Debt Fund) shall represent to the Lender assigning such
Loans, as of the effective date of any assignment that it is not in possession of any material non-public information regarding Borrower, its Subsidiaries, or their assets or securities, that (x) has not been disclosed generally to the Lenders
which are not “public side” Lenders prior to such date and (y) could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to, a Lender’s decision to assign Loans to such Person. 

Section 10.05 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower in the
Loan Documents and in the reports, certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Agents or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default
or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Obligation is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions
of Article IX and Sections 2.12 to 2.15, 9.06, 10.03 and 10.08 to 10.10 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions
contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

Section 10.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different
parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which 

  
 110 

 
shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect
to fees payable to the Administrative Agent and/or the Arranger, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to
the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof
which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart
of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

Section 10.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a
particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 10.08
Right of Setoff; Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time
owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents held by such Lender,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the
branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender under this Section 10.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. None
of any Agent or any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that the Borrower makes a payment or payments to
Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or any Agent or Lender exercises any right of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Debtor Relief Law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part
thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not
occurred.

proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Legal Requirements. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise shall affect any
right that the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

 (c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, any

parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan
Document, in the manner provided for notices (other than facsimile or email) in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner
permitted by applicable Legal Requirements. 
 Section 10.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS OR THE OTHER
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR 

  
 112 

 
ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.10. 

Section 10.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference
only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

Section 10.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of
the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ and Approved Funds’ directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives, including accountants, legal
counsel and other advisors (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 pursuant to the terms hereof),
(b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or any quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements or by any subpoena or
similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under the Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the
enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.12, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or
Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations, or (iii) any actual or
prospective investor in an SPC, (g) with the consent of Borrower, (h) to any rating agency when required by it, (i) to an investor or prospective investor in securities issued by an Approved Fund of any Lender that also agrees that
Information shall be used solely for the purpose of evaluating an investment in such securities issued by an Approved Fund of any Lender or to a trustee, collateral manager, servicer, backup servicer, noteholder or secured party in securities issued
by an Approved Fund of any Lender in connection with the administration, servicing and reporting on the assets serving as collateral for securities issued by such Approved Fund, or (j) to the extent such Information (x) is publicly
available at the time of disclosure or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.12 or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source
other than Borrower or any Subsidiary. In addition, each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in
connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loans, market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with
the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. For the purposes of this Section 10.12, “Information” shall mean all information received from Borrower relating to Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or 

  
 113 

 
its business that is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential
basis prior to disclosure by Borrower. Any person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.12 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such person has exercised
the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such person would accord to its own confidential information. 

Section 10.13 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate
applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum
Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all
Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this
Section 10.13 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest
thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. 
 Section 10.14
Assignment and Assumption. Each Lender to become a party to this Agreement (other than the Administrative Agent and any other Lender that is a signatory hereto) shall do so by delivering to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and
Assumption duly executed by such Lender, Borrower (if Borrower consent to such assignment is required hereunder) and the Administrative Agent. 

Section 10.15 Obligations Absolute. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all obligations of the Borrower
hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: 
 (a) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment,
composition, liquidation or the like of the Borrower; 
 (b) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any other
agreement or instrument relating thereto against the Borrower; 
 (c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other
term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; 

(d) [reserved]; 
 (e) any exercise
or non-exercise, or any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect hereof or any Loan Document; or 

  
 114 

 (f) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, the Borrower. 
 Section 10.16 Waiver of Defenses; Absence of Fiduciary Duties. (a) [Reserved]. 

(b) Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have
economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower, its stockholders and/or its affiliates. The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or
fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Borrower acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including
the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading
thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect
thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise the Borrower, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the
obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other person. The Borrower acknowledges
and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The
Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto. 

Section 10.17 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot
Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the
Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. 
 Section 10.18 Certain Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, Schuff may (x) repurchase 25,347 shares of its common stock from the Jayden Family Trust, (y) sell real property and assets located at 7351 & 7111 Overland Road, Orlando, FL 32810 and

	 	(b)	The present fair saleable value of the property of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of their debts and other

	 	(c)	Each Loan Party will be able to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured;

Closing Date; 

  

	 	(e)	For purposes of this solvency certificate (this “Certificate”), the amount of contingent liabilities has been computed as the amount that, in the light of all the facts and circumstances existing as of
the date hereof, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability; 

  

	 	(f)	No Loan Party intends, in consummating the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement, to hinder, delay, or defraud either present or future creditors or any other person to which any Loan Party is, or will

	 	(v)	historical and anticipated changes in the sales volume of each Loan Party; 

  

	 	(vi)	the customary terms of trade payables of each Loan Party; 

  

	 	(vii)	the amount of the credit extended by and to customers of each Loan Party; and

NOVARTIS AG LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

 

1.                                      PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

 

The purpose of the Plan is to enhance the alignment of the participants in the Plan with the interests of the Company’s shareholders and to foster long term value creation.

 

The Rules govern the grant of Awards under the Plan and any sub-plan of the Plan, including the Long Term Performance Plan and the Long Term Relative Performance Plan.

 

2.                                      GRANTING OF AWARDS

 

2.1                               Selection of Participants

 

The Board may select any Eligible Employee to be granted an Award.

 

2.2                               Timing of Awards

 

Subject to any Dealing Restrictions which prevent Awards being granted, the Board may grant Awards at any time during a Grant Period.

 

2.3                               Decisions relating to Awards

 

In respect of any Award (whether Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, SARs or other form of award) the Board will determine:

 

(a)                                 the type of Award to be granted;

 

(b)                                 where relevant, whether the Award is in respect of Shares or ADIs;

 

(c)                                  if the Award is a SAR, the base value from which the growth in value is to be measured;

 

(d)                                 if the Award does not comprise Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or SARs, the form and terms and conditions of any such Award;

 

(e)                                  subject to Rule 2.4, the minimum, target and maximum number of Shares or ADIs to be subject or linked to the Award;

 

(f)                                   the Vesting Date or Vesting Dates;

 

(g)                                  whether the Award is subject to Performance Conditions and, if so, the terms of such Performance Conditions (including the applicable Performance Period);

 

(h)                                 whether or not the Award will carry Dividend Equivalents and, if so, the form of such Dividend Equivalents;

 

(i)                                     whether the Participant is required to sell sufficient Shares to meet Taxation; and

 

(j)                                    which, if any, Schedules to the Plan will apply to the Award.

 

LTIP rules — January 22, 2014

2.4                               Determining the number of Shares or ADIs subject to an Award

 

In order to determine the minimum, target and maximum number of Shares or ADIs subject to or linked to an Award, the Board shall:

 

(a)                                 divide the relevant percentage of salary (as determined by the Board) expressed as a cash sum by the Market Value of a Share or ADI (as appropriate) as at the date immediately preceding the Grant Date and then, where necessary, round up to the nearest whole Share or ADI; or

 

(b)                                 apply such other method as the Board may determine from time to time.

 

2.5                               Change of Performance Conditions

 

Notwithstanding Rule 18 (amendment and termination of the Plan), the Board may change a Performance Condition applicable to an outstanding Award if there are circumstances which cause the Board to consider that an altered performance condition would be a fairer measure of performance. Any such altered Performance Condition must be, in all material respects, no easier and no harder to satisfy than the original Performance Condition.

 

2.6                               Award documentation

 

Each Award will be granted by resolution of the Board.

 

Each Participant shall receive a notice of the grant of an Award (either electronically or in hard copy) in such form as the Board shall determine from time to time.

 

The Board may determine in relation to any Award that the Participant shall be required to accept or acknowledge the grant of the Award to him. If a Participant is so required, the Board will also determine the time within which the Participant must provide such acceptance or acknowledgement and the consequences of not doing so.

 

Alternatively, the Board may determine that a Participant who receives an Award is deemed (as of the time of receipt) to have agreed to the Rules (including applicable Schedules) and the terms set out in the notice of the grant of the Award. If this is the case, a Participant may reject his Award within 14 days of receiving the notice of grant of that Award (or such longer period as the Board permits or is otherwise required by law). If a Participant does so reject his Award, then immediately on such rejection that Award shall lapse or, in the case of Restricted Stock, the Shares under that Award shall be forfeited.

 

2.7                               Schedules to the Plan

 

The Board may establish such schedules to the Rules as it considers necessary or appropriate. Such schedules may be included in the Plan so as to apply special rules to categories of Eligible Employees and/or to constitute sub-plans to the Plan for Eligible Employees outside Switzerland.

3.                                      DIVIDENDS AND DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS

 

3.1                               Restricted Stock Units and SARs

 

A Participant holding an Award of Restricted Stock Units or SARs shall not be entitled to vote, to receive dividends or to have any other rights of a shareholder in respect of such an Award unless and until the Shares comprising the Award are transferred to or acquired by the Participant.

 

3.2                               Restricted Stock

 

The Board in relation to an Award of Restricted Stock may determine that the Participant must agree to surrender or waive any right to vote, receive dividends or any other rights of a shareholder in respect of such Award.

 

3.3                               Dividend Equivalents

 

If the Board determines that an Award carries Dividend Equivalents:

 

(a)                                 unless the Board decides otherwise, the number of Shares (or notional Shares if the Award is a SAR) subject to the Award will be increased by the number of Shares which could have been acquired by the reinvestment in the purchase of Shares (at the market value of a Share on each relevant dividend payment date) of dividends payable between the Grant Date and the Vesting Date on that number of Shares (or notional Shares) subject to the Award that Vests; or

 

(b)                                 if the Board decides that Dividend Equivalents would not be on a notional reinvestment basis as described in Rule 3.3(a), as soon as practicable after the time an Award vests in full (and Shares are transferred or acquired or cash is paid to the Participant) the Company shall pay to the Participant (in cash or Shares) (subject to all applicable tax and social security deductions) an amount equal to the aggregate dividends which would have been paid on the Award (including in respect of notional Shares for Awards that are SARs) between the Grant Date and the Vesting Date; or

 

(c)                                  the Board may decide that the Dividend Equivalents may be calculated on any other basis.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of a dividend, for these purposes is the amount of the gross dividend before taxes.

 

For the purposes of this Rule 3, “market value” shall be determined by the Board on each relevant occasion.

 

A Participant is not entitled to receive Dividend Equivalents with respect to the time period between the Vesting Date and the date that the relevant Shares are transferred to or acquired by him or payment in respect of the Award is made.

4.                                      VESTING OF AWARDS

 

4.1                               General

 

Vesting of Awards under the Plan, transfer of Shares or ADIs or payment of cash is subject to any Rules or law that may require otherwise, including Rule 4.6 (dealing restrictions), Rule 4.8 (delivery of Shares or ADIs to a deposit account), Rule 5 (lapse or forfeiture of Awards) and Rule 9 (clawback).

 

The Board shall determine the number of Shares (or amount of cash in respect of a SAR) comprising an Award that shall Vest on any particular day or days.

 

4.2                               Normal Vesting

 

Subject to satisfying applicable Performance Conditions to which the Award is subject and the exceptions set out in the Rules, an Award shall Vest on the Vesting Date (or, if there is more than one Vesting Date, as to the relevant number of Shares or relevant cash entitlement in the case of SARs on each Vesting Date) or, if later, the date or dates on which the Performance Condition is confirmed as satisfied by the Board.

 

4.3                               Consequences of Vesting — Restricted Stock Units

 

As soon as practicable after the Vesting the Company shall transfer the number of Shares (or pay a cash sum if the Board has determined that the RSU is to be settled in cash) in respect of which the Award has Vested to the Participant.

 

4.4                               Consequences of Vesting — Restricted Stock

 

On Vesting the restrictions applicable to the relevant Restricted Stock under the Plan shall cease to apply to the extent such Restricted Stock Vests.

 

4.5                               Consequences of Vesting — SARs

 

As soon as practicable after Vesting the Participant shall be paid a sum equal to growth in the market value (as determined by the Board) of the number of Vested notional Shares comprising each SAR.

 

4.6                               Dealing Restrictions

 

If the Vesting of an Award is prevented on any date by a Dealing Restriction, the Award shall Vest on the first day it is not so prevented.

 

If the transfer of Shares or ADIs (or payment of cash) on or following Vesting is prevented by a Dealing Restriction, the period for such transfer or payment shall start from the first date on which it is no longer so prevented.

 

Shares received by a Participant on or following Vesting may be subject to Dealing Restrictions. Subject to any such restrictions, a Participant may sell (or may be required to do so) sufficient such Shares to meet Taxation (as defined in Rule 10 (tax, social security and other charges)).

 

4

 

4.7                               Fractional entitlements

 

Any fractional number of Shares which arises for any reason under the Plan shall be aggregated as at the Vesting Date and rounded up to the nearest whole Share (or, in the case of a SAR, notional Share), unless the Board determines otherwise.

 

4.8                               Delivery of Shares or ADIs to a deposit account

 

Subject to Board determination otherwise, all Shares and ADIs transferred to Participants under the Plan shall be transferred to and registered in one single securities account (Securities Deposit Account) held in trust by such service provider as is nominated from time to time by the Company.

 

If a Participant Ceases Employment, the Participant must dispose of or if possible transfer from the Securities Deposit Account to a private securities account all of the Shares or ADIs managed by the service provider within the period three months. If that is not done, the service provider will sell all of the Shares at market value without delay on behalf of the Participant or the Participant’s successor and transfer the proceeds less costs of sale to the Participant’s last known salary account and such transfer is in full and final satisfaction.

 

If a Participant Ceases Employment due to death, the period within which the Participant’s personal representative or successor in title must dispose of or transfer the Shares is twelve (12) months or such longer period as the Board may determine.

 

If the Company’s contract with the service provider for administration of the Plan ends in circumstances where the Plan continues, the Company will make arrangements for appropriate services to be provided by another service provider that the Company shall instruct at its sole discretion. In such circumstances, each participant must give all notices and take all steps necessary to end the trust or custody agreement with the old service provider and appoint a new service provider.

 

The procedures specified above may be altered and other procedures established by the Board.

 

4.9                               Lock-In period

 

Subject to Rule 4.10, the Board may determine or a Participant may elect at any time (in such form as the Board requires) that Shares or ADIs transferred or to be transferred to him under the Plan are or will be held in the Securities Deposit Account for a fixed period of time (the Lock-In Period) during which time such a Participant may not alienate such Shares or ADIs or create any security interest in or encumbrance on such Shares except as may be necessary for the proper administration of the Plan.

 

During the Lock-In Period, the participant is entitled without restriction to the dividend and voting rights associated with the Shares or ADIs the Participant acquired.

 

4.10                        Cash, Share and ADI alternatives

 

The Board may decide to satisfy an Award (including any Dividend Equivalents) by:

 

(a)                                 paying the Participant a sum equal to the market value (as determined by the Board) of the number of Shares that would otherwise have been transferred to the Participant following the Vesting of that Award; or

 

5

 

(b)                                 delivering to the Participant ADIs with a value equal to the market value of the number of Shares that would otherwise have been transferred to the Participant following the Vesting of that Award; or

 

(c)                                  in the case of SARs delivering to the Participant Shares or ADIs with a value equal to the cash sum that would otherwise have been paid to the participant following the vesting of that Award.

 

5.                                      LAPSE OR FORFEITURE OF AWARDS

 

Subject to Board determination otherwise, Awards lapse or in the case of Restricted Stock are forfeited on the earlier of:

 

(a)                                 failure to meet the Performance Conditions to the extent such Performance Conditions are not met; and

 

(b)                                 the occurrence of any event described in the Rules resulting in forfeiture or lapse of Awards, including under Rule 6 (cessation of employment) and Rule 7 (corporate events).

 

6.                                      CESSATION OF EMPLOYMENT

 

6.1                               Introduction

 

This Rule 6 applies where a Participant Ceases Employment.

 

Notwithstanding any other part of this Rule 6, the Board may, in its discretion with no obligation to do so, allow (on such terms as the Board decides) a greater proportion of an Award to Vest and/or accelerate the time at which Vesting occurs and/or treat a Participant who has Ceased Employment as having done so within Rules 6.3, 6.4 or 6.6.

 

In the event that Awards are outstanding pursuant to Rules 6.3 or 6.4 and the Participant dies prior to the Vesting of those Awards, then Rule 6.6 shall apply.

 

6.2                               General

 

Unless Rule 6.3, Rule 6.4 or Rule 6.6 applies, an Award that has not Vested will lapse or be forfeited on the day the Participant Ceases Employment.

 

6.3                               Cessation of Employment as a result of Retirement or disability

 

If a Participant Ceases Employment because of:

 

(a)                                 Retirement with the agreement of the Participant’s employer;

 

(b)                                 disability,

 

his Award shall, subject to Rule 6.5, Vest on the Vesting Date to the extent the Performance Conditions have been met PROVIDED ALWAYS THAT if the Cessation of Employment in respect of which this Rule 6.3 applies occurs on or before the first anniversary of the Grant Date then the extent to which such Award Vests shall be reduced to take account of the proportion of the Performance Period as has elapsed when the Cessation of Employment occurs.

 

6

 

6.4                               Cessation of Employment for other good reasons and following sale

 

If a Participant Ceases Employment because of:

 

(a)                                 termination of employment by the Participant’s employer (whether or not by notice) other than for misconduct or poor performance;

 

(b)                                 his employer ceasing to be a member of the Group;

 

(c)                                  the business for which the Participant works is transferred to a person which or who is not a member of the Group,

 

his Award shall, subject to Rule 6.5, Vest on the Vesting Date in respect of a proportion of the Award (corresponding to such proportion of the Performance Period as has elapsed when the Participant Ceases Employment (notwithstanding Rule 6.1)) to the extent the Performance Conditions have been met provided that the Board may determine in the case of leaving for reasons set out in Rule 6.4(b) or Rule 6.4(c) that some or all of the Awards held by relevant Participants shall be exchanged in accordance with Rule 7.2 (exchange of awards).

 

6.5                               Lapse or forfeiture of Awards on joining a Competitor

 

Where either Rule 6.3 or 6.4 applies such that Awards are retained by the Participant following Cessation of Employment, in the event that the Participant, in the period commencing on such cessation and ending immediately following the relevant Vesting Date becomes an employee or director (or otherwise provides services to) a Competitor, other than as a direct result of an event within Rule 6.4(b) or Rule 6.4(c), then Awards held by that Participant shall immediately lapse (or in the case of Restricted Stock shall be immediately forfeited).

 

6.6                               Cessation of Employment as a result of death

 

If a Participant Ceases Employment as a result of his death then Awards held by that Participant shall Vest:

 

(a)                                 if, as at the date of death, it is impractical to assess performance against the applicable Performance Conditions, at target; or

 

(b)                                 if, as at the date of death, it is practicable to assess performance against the applicable Performance Conditions, to the extent the Board determines having regard to performance against the applicable Performance Conditions up to the date of death,

 

PROVIDED ALWAYS THAT if, in respect of an Award, the death in respect of which this Rule 6.6 applies occurs on or before the first anniversary of the Grant Date then the extent to which such Award Vests shall be reduced to take account of the proportion of the Performance Period as has elapsed when death occurs.

 

7

 

7.                                      CORPORATE EVENTS

 

7.1                               Change of Control

 

If a Change of Control occurs or is anticipated to occur, unvested Awards shall Vest at the effective time of such Change of Control (or such earlier date or time that the Board may determine) as follows:

 

(a)                                 if, as at the proposed date of Vesting, it is impractical to assess performance against the applicable Performance Conditions, at target; or

 

(b)                                 if, as at the proposed date of Vesting, it is practicable to assess performance against the applicable Performance Conditions, to the extent the Board determines having regard to performance against the applicable Performance Conditions up to the date of proposed date of Vesting,

 

PROVIDED ALWAYS THAT if, in respect of an Award, the Change of Control in respect of which this Rule 7.1 applies occurs on or before the first anniversary of the Grant Date then the extent to which such Award Vests shall be reduced to take account of the proportion of the Performance Period as has elapsed when the Change of Control occurs.

 

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph of this Rule 7.1, the Board may in its discretion with no obligation to do so, allow a greater proportion of an Award to Vest.

 

Alternatively, the Board may determine that some or all Awards will be automatically exchanged under Rule 7.2 or may allow Participants to choose Vesting and/or exchange.

 

7.2                               Exchange of Awards

 

If an Award is exchanged, then:

 

(a)                                 the exchanged award will be in respect of or by reference to shares in any company determined by the company offering the exchange;

 

(b)                                 the exchanged award shall have equivalent terms to those of the Award that was exchanged;

 

(c)                                  the exchanged award will be subject to the Plan as it had effect in relation to the old Award immediately before the exchange;

 

(d)                                 with effect from the exchange, the Rules will apply as if references to Shares are references to shares over which the exchanged award has been granted;

 

(e)                                  the Rules shall apply with such other adjustments as the Board may decide.

 

7.3                               Demerger, variations of share capital and other corporate events

 

If the Board becomes aware that the Company is or is expected to be affected by any variation of share capital, rights issue, sub-division, consolidation or reduction of share capital, demerger, distribution (other than an ordinary dividend), liquidation or other event (other than a Change of Control) which, in the opinion of the Board, could affect the current or future value of Shares, the Board may:

 

8

 

(a)                                 adjust Awards in such manner as it considers appropriate;

 

(b)                                 allow Awards (for all or some Participants) to Vest in whole or in part, subject to any conditions that the Board may impose;

 

(c)                                  require some or all Awards to be exchanged under Rule 7.2.

 

8.                                      PARTICIPANT RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

 

The rights and obligations of a Participant under the terms of his or her office, employment or contract are not affected by becoming a Participant. These Rules do not form part of, and will not be incorporated into, any contract between a Participant and any member of the Group.

 

Participants do not have any right to continued employment with the Group as a result of participating in the Plan, nor are they entitled to any compensation or damages if any benefit under the Plan is reduced or cancelled as a result of applying the Rules.

 

Selection as a Participant refers only to the participation for the one grant year and does not guarantee a right of participation in the Plan in any subsequent year.

 

Nothing in this Plan confers any benefit, right or expectation on a person who is not an Eligible Employee or a Participant.

 

9.                                      CLAWBACK

 

Participants must adhere at all times to applicable laws, the Articles, the Company’s organisational regulations and Company or Group policies, procedures and guidelines. If, in the reasonable opinion of the Board, a Participant fails to comply with any such laws, Articles, regulations, policies, procedures and guidelines in all material respects then the Board may determine that:

 

(a)                                 all or any Award (whether vested or unvested) held by the Participant will lapse or be forfeited; and

 

(b)                                 all or any of a Participant’s Shares or ADIs transferred to him under the Plan following the Vesting of Awards will be forfeited and must be transferred to the Company; and

 

(c)                                  the Participant must pay the Company (or such other member of the Group as the Board may determine) gross proceeds from the sale of some or all of the Shares or ADIs transferred to him following the Vesting of Awards; and

 

(d)                                 pay to the Company (or such other member of the Group as the Board may determine) some or all of the gross sums paid to him under the Plan.

 

10.                               TAX, SOCIAL SECURITY AND OTHER CHARGES

 

The Participant indemnifies each member of the Group against all taxes, social security contributions and other levies for which he is responsible that arise in connection with an Award (together “Taxation”).

 

The Company and any employer may make such arrangements it considers necessary to meet any liability to pay or account for Taxation (including selling sufficient Shares to meet such liability and accounting for the proceeds of sale to the Company or the Participant’s

 

9

 

employer). The Participant will promptly do all things necessary to facilitate any such arrangements. Vesting and the transfer of Shares to him can be delayed until he does so.

 

11.                               TRANSFER OF AWARDS

 

Unless specifically permitted under the Plan or with the prior written consent of the Board, Awards or any rights in respect of any Award may not be transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of. If Awards (or any rights in respect of Awards) are transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of or if the Participant becomes bankrupt they shall lapse or be forfeited immediately.

 

12.                               COMPANY DOCUMENTS

 

The Company may (but need not) send to any Participant any documents which the Company sends to its shareholders.

 

13.                               BOARD’S POWERS

 

The exercise of any power or discretion, including refraining from exercise, of the Board concerning the Plan or any Award is absolute and unlimited and may be reasonably exercised at any time, subject always to the principle of good faith. When the Board exercises any of its powers or discretions in a way that will impact a Participant, the Board may (but need not) inform the relevant Participant in such manner as the Board shall determine.

 

Any decision of the Board in connection with the Plan, the interpretation of the Plan and any related documents and in connection with any dispute relating to the Plan will be final and binding.

 

14.                               ADMINISTRATION AND REGULATIONS 

 

14.1                        The Plan shall be administered by the Board.

 

14.2                        The Board may make and vary regulations and policies for the administration and operation of the Plan.

 

15.                               AWARDS NOT PENSIONABLE ETC.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, Awards under the Plan are not pensionable and do not count in relation to the calculation of benefit under programmes such as life cover, income protection or continuation, medical or such other benefits as the Board may determine.

 

16.                               NOTICES

 

Any notice or other communication under or in connection with the Plan or any Award may be given:

 

(a)                                 by the Company to an Eligible Employee or Participant either personally or sent to him at his place of work by electronic mail or other electronic means (including the internet or the intranet) or by post addressed to the address last known to the Company (including any address supplied by the relevant member of the Group) or sent through the Company’s internal postal service; and

 

(b)                                 to the Company, either personally or by post to the Company secretary. 

 

10

 

Items sent by post shall be pre-paid and shall be deemed to have been received 72 hours after posting. Items sent by electronic mail or other electronic means shall be deemed to have been received at the expiration of 24 hours from when they were sent.

 

The Board may decide the accept notices given by Participants if received after any time stipulated for receipt.

 

17.                               DATA PROTECTION

 

Each Participant agrees to the receipt, holding and processing of information in connection with an Award and the general administration of the Plan by the Company and any other member of the Group and any of their advisers or agents and to the transmission of any such information outside of the European Economic Area (including, without limitation, to Switzerland and to the United States of America). Each Participant acknowledges that the EU Commission considers that the United States of America (and various other jurisdictions) do not have adequate data protection laws.

 

18.                               AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

 

The Board may at any time change the Plan (including amending or adding schedules to the Plan) in any way. Changes may affect Awards already granted provided always that, unless required by law, no such change may be made which is to the material disadvantage of a Participant without that Participant’s prior written consent.

 

The Board shall give notice of any changes to any Participant.

 

The Board may terminate the Plan at any time. Termination will not affect existing Awards.

 

19.                               COMPLIANCE WITH LAW AND ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

 

19.1                        Compliance with Law etc

 

The Plan is subject to all applicable laws and the Company’s Articles. If such law or the Articles require, the terms of any provision of the Plan and any Award (including any outstanding Award) shall be interpreted and/or amended and applied to the extent required to comply fully with such law or the Articles.

 

19.2                        Minder Initiative

 

The Plan, in particular, is subject to any mandatory provisions of Swiss law pertaining to compensation of governing bodies derived from article 95 paragraph 3 of the Swiss Federal Constitution (the “Minder Initiative”). Any interpretation and/or amendment necessary in respect of any provision of the Plan or any Award as a result of applicable law and/or the Articles to the detriment of the Participant shall not give rise to any claims by or other rights whatsoever of the Participant. This applies in particular if the annual general meeting of the Company does not approve the compensation of the Participant which is subject to approval under the Minder Initiative.

 

19.3                        US Code Section 409A

 

If a Participant (other than a Participant whose benefits are provided under the United States Schedule) is subject to the United States Internal Revenue Code (“US Code”) (a “US Participant”), and if benefits under this Plan for such US Participant are not exempt from US Code Section 409A, it is intended that to the maximum extent permitted under all applicable

 

11

 

law this Plan will be interpreted and administered to conform to the requirements of US Code Section 409A as they apply to such US Participant.

 

20.                               APPLICABLE LAW

 

The Plan is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Switzerland, under express exclusion of any provisions of conflict of laws.

 

The Board may resolve conclusively all questions of fact or interpretation concerning the Plan and has the authority to resolve any dispute of any kind that arises under or in connection with the Plan. In the event a dispute escalates to require resolution by a court, the dispute will exclusively be resolved by the Courts of Basel, Switzerland.

 

21.                               DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION

 

In this Plan, unless otherwise required by the Rules:

 

21.1                        Definitions

 

ADIs means American depositary instruments being either American Depositary Shares or American Depositary Receipts of the Company as specified in the Grant Notice.

 

Articles means the articles of incorporation of the Company as amended from time to time.

 

Award means an award under the Plan (which may be an award of Restricted Stock Units, Restricted Stock, Stock Appreciation Rights or such other form of award referable to the Company’s equity as the Board may determine).

 

Board means the Company’s Board of Directors or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board’s delegate or, following a Change of Control, those persons who comprised the Board immediately prior to such Change of Control.

SCHEDULE 1
 LONG TERM PERFORMANCE PLAN

 

1.                                      APPLICATION OF THE SCHEDULE

 

Where Awards are granted under the Long Term Performance Plan (the LTPP), then the Rules of the Novartis AG Long Term Incentive Plan shall apply subject to the terms set out in this Schedule.

 

2.                                      PERFORMANCE PERIOD

 

The Performance Period is the three-year period the Performance Conditions are measured ending on 31 December of the year preceding the year in which the Vesting Date of the relevant LTPP Award occurs or such other period as the Board shall determine as set out in the relevant Grant Notice.

 

3.                                      PERFORMANCE CONDITIONS AND LTPP AWARDS VESTING

 

LTPP Awards are subject to Performance Conditions relating both to CVA and Innovation performance. CVA Performance Condition applies to 75% and Innovation Performance Condition to 25% of an LTPP Award. The maximum number of Vested LTPP Awards is 200% of the Awards determined in the Grant Notice before any Dividend Equivalents. The above-mentioned cap applies to Awards subject to each Performance Condition individually as opposed to the total number of Vested LTPP Awards.

 

3.1                               CVA Performance Condition

 

For the purposes of this Schedule 1, “Cash Value Added” or “CVA” means the measure (as determined from time to time by the Board) assesses sustainable cash flow less a capital charge on operating assets.

 

The achievement of CVA Performance Condition is measured by CVA Performance Ratio.

 

	
CVA Performance Ratio =
    	
CVA   Actual
    	
*100%
    
	
 
    	
CVA Target
    

 

Where:

 

	
CVA Actual
    	
 
    	
is the cumulative three-year adjusted CVA, which is measured on   expiry of the Performance Period.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
CVA Target
    	
 
    	
is the forward-looking cumulative three-year CVA determined by the   Board for the respective Performance Period.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
CVA
    	
 
    	
is Cash Value Added of the Group as defined by the Board.
    

 

16

 

The number of LTPP Awards that shall Vest on the Vesting Date is determined by multiplying the number of granted LTPP Awards subject to CVA Performance Condition with the CVA Performance Factor. CVA Performance Factor of 100% corresponds to the CVA Performance Ratio of 100%. For each 1% of CVA target over/underachievement the CVA Performance Factor linearly increases/decreases by 5%. The Board approves the final Performance Factor and has the right to adjust it upwards or downwards depending on the overall Company’s performance.

 

3.2                               Innovation Performance Condition

 

The Innovation Performance Factor reflects the achievement of the three-year forward-looking Innovation Targets set out for the respective grant of an Award and is determined by the Board as a percentage.

 

Innovation Targets focus on key innovation program milestones that will improve future business and/or highly contribute to Company’s scientific reputation and are approved by the Board under consultation with Company’s CEO and Research & Development Committee of the Board.

 

17

 

SCHEDULE 2
 LONG TERM RELATIVE PERFORMANCE PLAN

 

1.                                      APPLICATION OF THIS SCHEDULE

 

Where Awards are granted under the Long Term Relative Performance Plan (the LTRPP), then the Rules of the Novartis AG Long Term Incentive Plan shall apply subject to the terms set out in this Schedule.

 

2.                                      PERFORMANCE PERIOD

 

The Performance Period is the three-year period the Performance Conditions are measured ending on 31 December of the year preceding the year in which the Vesting Date of the relevant LTRPP Award occurs or such other period as the Board shall determine as set out in the relevant Grant Notice.

 

3.                                      PERFORMANCE CONDITIONS AND LTRPP AWARDS VESTING

 

LTRPP Awards are subject to the Company’s Total Shareholder Return (TSR) Performance Condition.

 

TSR is calculated using Bloomberg standard published methodology, including share price growth and dividends paid over the Performance Period.

 

TSR is measured against a comparator peer group of twelve peer companies in the global healthcare industry, currently Abbott, AbbVie, Eli Lilly & Company, Pfizer, Amgen, GlaxoSmithKline, Roche, AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson, Sanofi, Merck & Co. and Bristol-Myers Squibb. The Board, in its discretion, may alter the constituents of the comparator group in such circumstances as it considers appropriate, including where a constituent company is no longer listed on a stock exchange.

 

The number of LTRPP Awards Vesting on the Vesting Date is determined by multiplying the number of granted LTRPP Awards with the LTRPP Performance Factor. The LTRPP Performance Factor is determined by the Board based on the following Vesting schedule for all positive values of TSR:

 

	
TSR rank compared to the
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
comparator group
    	
 
    	
LTRPP Performance Factor
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
1 to 3
    	
 
    	
160 to 200 per cent
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
4 to 6
    	
 
    	
100 to 140 per cent
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
7 to 10
    	
 
    	
20 to 80 per cent
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
11 to 13
    	
 
    	
0 per cent
    

 

18

 

In the event of a non-positive TSR value, the Board may reduce the number of LTRPP Awards which would otherwise Vest.

 

The maximum number of LTRPP Awards that may Vest is 200% of the number of LTRPP Awards determined in the Grant Notice before any Dividend Equivalent.

(b)                                 Such ADIs shall be deemed to have been used in payment of Awards whether they are actually delivered or the market value equivalent of such ADIs is paid in cash. In the event any Award is surrendered or terminated, or expires or is forfeited, the number of ADIs no longer subject thereto shall thereupon be released and shall thereafter be available for new Awards under this Schedule.

 

(c)                                  ADIs comprising Awards under this Schedule or delivered by the Company in settlement of Awards under this Schedule may be derived from authorised and unissued Shares or from Shares or ADIs held in the treasury of the Company or held by another member of the Group or may be purchased on the open market or by private purchase.

 

3.                                      STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

 

SARs granted under this Schedule shall be subject to such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Board may impose, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

(a)                                 SARs with Participant discretion to exercise

 

(i)                                     Base Value. The Base Value for SARs per ADI subject to a SAR shall not be less than 100% of the market value of an ADI at the Grant Date.

 

(ii)                                  Payment on exercise. On the exercise of a SAR, the Company shall pay to the Participant an amount equal to the number of ADIs subject to the SAR multiplied by the excess, if any, of the market value of one ADI on the exercise date over the Base Value.

 

(iii)                               Market value. For the purposes of SARs subject to this Schedule, “market value” in paragraphs 3(a)(i) and 3(a)(ii) of this Schedule on a given date means:

 

22

 

(aa)                          if the ADIs are listed on a national securities exchange in the United States, the closing sale price reported as having occurred on the primary exchange with which the Shares are listed and traded (currently the New York Stock Exchange) on such date or, if there is no such sale on that date, then the last preceding date on which such a sale was reported;

 

(bb)                          if the ADIs are not listed on any national securities exchange but is quoted on the National Market System of the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”), the trade price of the last sale reported on such date or, if there is no such sale on that date, then the last preceding date on which such a sale was reported; or

 

(cc)                            if the ADIs are not listed on a national securities exchange nor quoted on NASDAQ, on a last sale basis the amount determined by the Board to be the fair market value based upon a good faith attempt to value the Shares accurately.

 

(iv)                              Dividend Equivalents. If the Board designates Dividend Equivalents to apply to SARs pursuant to Rule 3.3(a), such accumulated Dividend Equivalents shall be paid to the Participant immediately upon Vesting.

 

(v)                                 No deferral of proceeds. Pursuant to the limitations of the United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(i)(B)(3), a Participant may not defer the proceeds of the exercise of a SAR.

 

(b)                                 SARs without Participant Discretion to exercise

 

If a SAR is granted with a fixed exercise date and the Participant has no discretion to exercise the SAR, Participants may elect to defer the payment of the proceeds of the automatic exercise of the SAR, and any accumulated Dividend Equivalents, to the date later than the payment date specified in the Award provided that the Participant makes such deferred election either as an initial deferral under United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(a) or pursuant to the subsequent deferral provisions of United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b). The Board shall determine whether such deferral is in the form of Shares (ADIs) or cash. If deferrals are in Shares (ADIs), unless otherwise directed by the Board such Shares (ADIs), and any accumulated Dividend Equivalents, shall be delivered upon such deferred payment date. If the deferrals are in cash, the cash proceeds of such automatic exercise of the SARs shall be transferred into the applicable non-qualified deferred compensation plan of the Group entity which employs the Participant.

 

 

4.                                      CONSEQUENCES OF VESTING — RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

The Board shall determine whether such deferral is in the form of Shares (ADIs) or cash. If deferrals are in Shares (ADIs), unless otherwise directed by the Board, such Shares (ADIs), and any accumulated Dividend Equivalents, shall be delivered from this Plan upon such deferred payment date. If deferrals are in cash, the cash proceeds of such Awards shall be transferred into the applicable non-qualified deferred compensation plan of the Participant’s employing Group company in the United States.

6.                                      CODE SECTION 409A

 

6.1                               Notwithstanding anything under the Plan to the contrary, to the extent applicable, it is intended that the Plan as it applies to Participants shall comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A and the Plan and all applicable Awards be construed and applied in a manner consistent with this intent. In furtherance thereof, any amount constituting a “deferral of compensation” under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b) that is payable to a Participant upon a separation from service of the Participant (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)) (other than due to the Participant’s death), occurring while the Participant shall be a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i)) of the Group (as limited by Code Sections 414(b), (c), (m) and (o)), shall not be paid until the earlier of:

 

(a)                                      the date that is six months following such separation from service; or

 

(b)                                      the date of the Participant’s death following such separation from service.

 

 

6.2                               Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, to the extent that an Award constituting a “deferral of compensation” subject to Code Section 409A shall be deemed to be vested or restrictions lapse upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, and if such Change of Control does not constitute a “change in control event” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)), then even though such Award may be deemed to be vested or restrictions lapse, payment will only be made to the extent necessary to comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A, to the United States participant on the earliest of:

 

(a)                                 the United States participant’s separation from service, the date payment otherwise would have been made pursuant to the regular payment terms of the Award; or

 

(b)                                 the Participant’s death.
