As in the case of a potential subcontract opportunity described in Section 2.7(f)(i), the Notifying Party shall provide an Activity Notice to the other Parties’ representatives to the Operating Committee of any Potential Alliance Activity that it is considering pursuing for the provision of Subsea Well Intervention Systems that could involve joint participation by the Parties in providing to the customer the goods and services described in Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6. The Activity Notice shall include any materials received by the Notifying Party regarding the Potential Alliance Activity opportunity (to the extent that the Notifying Party is permitted to provide such materials), as well as: (v) the proposed scope of the Alliance Activity opportunity and time frame for its performance (including any liquidated damages for late delivery), (w) special requirements of and specifications for the opportunity, goods and services to be provided, (x) contractual terms and conditions provided by the customer, (y) potential advantages to the customer from the joint participation of the Parties, and (z) any other information that the Notifying Party reasonably believes the other Party or Parties, as applicable, would deem necessary or appropriate to evaluate the proposed Alliance Activity. If representatives to the Operating Committee of the Parties other than the Notifying Party deem their respective products and services (as described in Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6, as applicable) to be Unavailable, such representatives shall notify the representatives of the other Parties as soon as reasonably practicable (and Notifying Party shall specify a reasonable deadline by when such other Parties must respond in consideration of the requirements of the Potential Alliance Activity), as well as the reasons for the Unavailability. Other than responding with respect to Unavailability, representatives to the Operating Committee, in their response to the Notifying Party, shall either accept or reject participating in the proposed Alliance Activity on the terms discussed by the Operating Committee, including contracting structure and allocation of risk and reward among the Parties, within thirty (30) days of such respective Party’s receipt of the applicable Activity Notice, and in any event by a date which allows sufficient time for the Notifying Party to seek alternatives and to respond to the opportunity.

 

(iii) If any Party delivers notice to the other Parties’ representatives to the Operating Committee that such Party is Unavailable or declines to participate in an Alliance Activity in accordance with Section 2.7(f)(i) or Section 2.7(f)(ii) by the referenced date(s) in such sections, then the remaining Party or Parties may pursue such activity individually to the exclusion of the other Party or Parties notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.7.

 

(g) In the event that any provision of this Section 2.7 shall be held invalid, illegal, void, inoperative, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, by reason of the geographic or business scope or the duration of such provision, such invalidity, illegality, voidness, inoperability, or unenforceability shall attach only to the scope or duration of such provision and shall not affect or render invalid, illegal, void, inoperative or unenforceable any other provision of this Agreement, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, this Agreement 

 

  

16

  

 

shall be construed as if the geographic or business scope or the duration of such provision had been more narrowly drafted so as not to be invalid, illegal, void, inoperative or unenforceable.

 

(h) Each of the Parties agrees that the remedy at law for any breach of this Section 2.7 may be inadequate and that in the event of any such breach or violation by any of the Parties, the other Parties shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, without posting bond or other security, in addition to any other remedy in arbitration, at law, in equity or under this Agreement to which they may be entitled.

 

Section 2.8 Joint Marketing Program; Costs and Expenses.

The Licensee cannot sublicense such license to any third party without the prior written consent of the Licensor.  Further, upon the consent of the Licensor, in the event the Licensee sublicenses a right to a Foreground Intellectual Property to a third party outside the scope of such Licensee’s own business, then Licensor and Licensee shall negotiate to determine a fair mechanism for sharing royalties derived therefrom.

 

(e) Any owner or co-owner of Foreground Intellectual Property, at its sole discretion, individually or jointly, may bring enforcement actions against any infringer of any sole or joint owned Foreground Intellectual Property right.  The costs of any joint proceeding shall be borne equally by the Parties unless otherwise agreed.  If a Party chooses not to participate in the enforcement action, the enforcing Party shall bear all costs and expenses associated with such enforcement action.  The non-enforcing Party agrees to cooperate with the enforcing party and will join as an indispensable party when required by law.  Any money recovered by way of damages or otherwise in respect to any such proceeding shall be kept by the Party which bore the costs of such proceeding; or, in the case where the parties have shared the costs, shall be shared in the same proportion as the costs, unless otherwise agreed.

 

Section 9.4 Acknowledgment of Intellectual Property Rights.

 

Each Party recognizes and acknowledges the ownership by each other Party and its Affiliates of all patents, copyrights, trademarks, service marks, business or corporate names, know how, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights which such Party currently owns and further agrees that the owning Party shall have the right to take all appropriate actions to protect such rights and the other Parties shall inform the owning Party should any action be taken which threatens such owning Party’s intellectual property rights.

Section 9.5 Licensing.

 

The Parties agree that supply of technology and equipment to the Alliance for conduct of Alliance Activities outside the United States pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be subject to the issuance of an export license by applicable Governmental Authorities, if any, and the execution of a license agreement by the Parties, if applicable.

 

Section 9.6 Compliance with Licensing.

 

The Parties recognize that Governmental Authorities may restrict usage of certain technology and equipment which may be used in connection with Alliance Activities.  A Party may require any of the other Parties and/or any applicable third party participant in an Alliance Activity to enter into a standard equipment license agreement incorporating restrictions on the use of such equipment or technology in accordance with applicable Law.  The Parties shall abide by all conditions imposed by the applicable export license(s) and equipment license agreement(s), as may be applicable.

 

Section 9.7 Other Governmental Approvals.

EACH PARTY SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS THE OTHER PARTIES, THEIR AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL ACTIONS, CLAIMS, JUDGMENTS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, PENALTIES, FINES, LIABILITIES (INCLUDING STRICT LIABILITY), ENCUMBRANCES, LIENS, COSTS AND EXPENSES OF DEFENSE (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEY’S FEES AND DISBURSEMENTS) RELATED TO OR ARISING WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PARTY’S: (I) INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT AS A RESULT OF THE USE OF THAT PARTY’S (THE “DISCLOSING PARTY”) GOODS AND SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE OTHER PARTIES (IN EACH CASE, THE “RECEIVING PARTY”) IN CONNECTION WITH ALLIANCE ACTIVITIES, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS ARE BASED ON: (A) THE RECEIVING PARTY’S USE OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES IN COMBINATION WITH PRODUCTS OR SERVICES NOT PROVIDED BY THE DISCLOSING PARTY; (B) WHERE THE DISCLOSING PARTY‘S PRODUCTS OR SERVICES HAVE BEEN SPECIALLY MODIFIED, DESIGNED AND/OR MANUFACTURED BASED ON THE RECEIVING PARTY’S REQUEST OR INFORMATION; (C) UNAUTHORIZED ADDITIONS OR MODIFICATIONS BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE RECEIVING PARTY TO THE DISCLOSING PARTY’S PRODUCTS OR SERVICES; OR (D) THE RECEIVING PARTY’S USE OF THE DISCLOSING PARTY’S PRODUCTS OR SERVICES WHICH USE DOES

NOT CORRESPOND TO THE DISCLOSING PARTY’S PUBLISHED STANDARDS OR SPECIFICATIONS; (II) BREACH OR OTHER INACCURACY OF ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF SUCH PARTY AS SET FORTH IN ARTICLE 12; AND (III) BREACH OF LAWS.

 

Section 10.2 No Consequential Damages.

 

NO PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY FOR, OR REQUIRED TO INDEMNIFY OR PAY TO SUCH PARTY, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR SPECULATIVE DAMAGES FOR ANY PURPOSES WHATSOEVER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFIT, LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, DAMAGES BASED UPON THEORIES OF QUASI-CONTRACT OR PROMISSORY ESTOPPEL, OR SIMILAR DAMAGES.  For purposes of the foregoing, actual damages may, however, include indirect, consequential, punitive or speculative damages to the extent (a) the injuries or losses resulting in or giving rise to such damages are incurred or suffered by a third party who is not an Affiliate of a Party and (b) such damages are recovered against an Indemnified Party by a Person that is a third party who is not an Affiliate of such Party.  This Section 10.2 shall operate only to limit a Party’s liability and shall not operate to increase or expand any contractual obligation of a Party hereunder.

 

Section 10.3 Claims for Reimbursement.

 

In the event that any Party shall have (i) suffered any loss or (ii) received any notice of the commencement of any action, investigation or other proceeding, or the making of any claim or demand by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), in respect of which indemnification may be sought by such Party pursuant to this Article 10 (the “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) prompt written notice of such loss or Third Party Claim setting forth in reasonable detail such information as it shall have pertaining to such Third Party Claim and the Indemnified Party’s demand for indemnification in respect to such Third Party Claim.  Written notice of Third Party Claims shall be given to the Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable (and in any event within thirty (30) days after the service of any initial citation or summons or delivery of a demand letter).  Failure to timely provide such notice of a Third Party Claim shall not affect the right of the Indemnified Party’s indemnification hereunder, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such delay or omission.  The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of each such notice (the “Investigation Period”) to investigate and dispute the nature, validity or amount of any such Third Party Claim, and acknowledge in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for such Third Party Claim.  During the Investigation Period, the Indemnifying Party shall have reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the books and records of the Indemnified Party relating to such Third Party Claim for the purpose of such investigation.  If the Indemnifying Party does not acknowledge in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for a Third Party Claim within the Investigation Period, the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have rejected such Third Party Claim.  In the event that the Indemnifying Party disputes the nature, validity or amount of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall give the Indemnified Party written notice of such dispute within the Investigation Period, and the Indemnified and Indemnifying Parties shall meet promptly after 

 

  

26

  

 

receipt of such notice of dispute and in good faith attempt to resolve such dispute by agreement within twenty-one (21) days following receipt of such notice of dispute.

 

Section 10.4 Defense of Third Party Claims.

 

(a) In the event an Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for a Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the option to assume control of the defense and investigation of such Third Party Claim and to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend such Third Party Claim, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost, risk and expense (the “Direct Litigation Option”).  In order to exercise the Direct Litigation Option the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice of such exercise to the Indemnified Party.  If the Indemnifying Party so elects, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such Third Party Claim and any appeal arising from such claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost, participate in (but not control) such investigation, trial and defense of such Third Party Claim and any appeal arising therefrom.

 

(b) If the Indemnifying Party does not elect the Direct Litigation Option or otherwise does not acknowledge in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 10.3, then the Indemnified Party shall defend against the Third Party Claim in the manner it deems appropriate, subject to Section 10.5 below; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party may, at its own cost, participate in (but not control) any defense of such Third Party Claim and any appeal arising therefrom.

 

Section 10.5 Settlement of Third Party Claims.

 

(a) If the Indemnifying Party exercises the Direct Litigation Option, it shall have the right to settle the Third Party Claim, provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim without the Indemnified Party’s written consent, but provided further that such consent shall not be required if (a) the compromise or settlement contains a complete and unconditional general release by the third party asserting the claim to all Indemnified Parties affected by the claim, (b) the compromise or settlement does not contain any sanction or restriction upon the conduct of any business by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates and (c) the compromise or settlement does not create a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party or any other person other than the Indemnifying Party.

 

(b) If the Indemnifying Party does not elect the Direct Litigation Option, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to settle the Third Party Claim, provided that the Indemnified Party may not enter into any compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim if indemnification is to be sought hereunder without the Indemnifying Party’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

 

Section 10.6 Cooperation.

 

If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest, including the 

 

  

27

  

 

making of any reasonably related counterclaim against the third party asserting the Third Party Claim or any cross complaint against any person and making the books and records and personnel of the Indemnified Party reasonably available during normal business hours.

ARTICLE 13

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

Section 13.1 Expert Mediation.

 

If a dispute arising from or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby arises among the Parties, then a meeting of the affected Parties’ members of the Governance Board shall be held promptly to attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the dispute.  If, within fourteen (14) days after such meeting, or such further period agreed to among the Parties in writing, the Parties have not succeeded in negotiating a resolution of the dispute, the Parties agree to submit the dispute to non-binding mediation, except those disputes which relate to intellectual property, which shall be resolved in accordance with Sections 13.2-13.7 below.  The Parties shall collectively appoint an acceptable mediator.  If the Parties are unable to agree upon the appointment of a mediator within thirty (30) days after the end of the negotiation period described above, the Parties shall request that a mediator be appointed by the AAA in Houston, Texas.  The appointment of a mediator shall take the following into account: (a) the need for the mediator to be neutral and independent; (b) the need for a mediator experienced in and knowledgeable about the offshore oilfield services industry; (c) the mediator’s fees; (d) the mediator’s availability; and (e) any other consideration likely to result in the selection of an impartial, competent and effective mediator.  The Parties agree to participate in good faith in a mediation session which must occur within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the mediator, or such further period agreed to among the Parties in writing.  The mediation will be conducted in accordance with mediation rules in effect in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, and the mediator shall resolve all issues concerning the procedures applicable to the mediation.  Notwithstanding this agreement to mediate disputes, any Party may file a complaint for statute of limitation reasons or seek a preliminary injunction or other provisional judicial relief, if in its sole judgment such action is necessary to avoid irreparable 

 

  

33

  

 

damage. Each Party shall be responsible for its own internal costs of participating in the mediation (including outside counsel and the cost of providing expert testimony) and the collective costs of the mediation (including the costs of the mediator(s)) shall be borne equally by each Party.

 

Section 13.2 Continuing Disputes.

 

Any dispute arising from or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby which is not resolved following the process set forth in Section 13.1 above, upon written notice by one Party to the other Parties shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration before an Arbitration Tribunal in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA.  Matters not specifically provided for in Sections 13.2-13.7 shall be governed by the AAA Rules.

 

Section 13.3 Arbitration Tribunal.

 

(a) The Arbitration Tribunal shall consist of three (3) arbitrators, comprised as follows:

 

(i)   In the event the applicable dispute is among all Parties, each of the arbitrators shall be appointed by the AAA, with one of the three arbitrators serving as the presiding arbitrator on the Arbitration Tribunal.

 

(ii)  In the event the applicable dispute is between exactly two (2) Parties, then each Party shall appoint one (1) arbitrator.  The two arbitrators thus appointed shall appoint the third arbitrator, who shall serve as the presiding officer of the Arbitration Tribunal.  If a Party fails to appoint its arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the receipt of a written request from a Party for arbitration, such arbitrator shall be appointed by the other Party’s appointed arbitrator.  If the two arbitrators thus appointed fail to agree on the appointment of the third arbitrator within ten (10) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator and if the Parties do not otherwise agree, the AAA shall appoint the third arbitrator.  The third arbitrator shall be the presiding arbitrator on the Arbitration Tribunal.

 

(b) In all disputes, each arbitrator must be (i) an independent arbitrator who does not have any financial or other personal interest in the dispute and (ii) experienced in and knowledgeable about the offshore oilfield services industry.

 

Section 13.4 Procedures for Arbitration.

 

The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language and shall take place in Houston, Texas.  The Arbitration Tribunal shall decide by majority vote on points of substance, law and otherwise, and the decision of the Arbitration Tribunal shall be rendered in writing and shall state the reasons for the decision and the date and the place of the decision.  All decisions of the Arbitration Tribunal shall be rendered in the English language and shall be final and non-appealable and binding on the Parties and may be entered against them in a court of competent jurisdiction.  The Arbitration Tribunal shall determine the costs of arbitration in its awards, and such costs shall be allocated between the Parties as determined by the Arbitration Tribunal.  The Arbitration Tribunal shall not have any authority to award exemplary or punitive damages.

 

  

34

  

 

Section 13.5 Consent to Jurisdiction.

 

Each of the Parties agrees that any judgment rendered by the Arbitration Tribunal may be executed against its assets in any jurisdiction.  By execution of this Agreement, each of the Parties hereby irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the appropriate courts in Harris County, Texas in any legal action or proceeding relating to such execution of judgment.  The Parties hereby irrevocably waive any objection they may have to any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the enforcement of an arbitration judgment under this Agreement, whether brought in Harris County, Texas or in any other jurisdiction in which it has assets, and hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any jurisdiction has been brought in any inconvenient forum.

 

Section 13.6 No Other Actions.

 

No Party will commence or prosecute any suit or action against another Party relating to any dispute arising from or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, other than as may be necessary to compel arbitration under this Article 13, seek injunctive relief pending arbitration hereunder, or to enforce the award of the Arbitration Tribunal.

 

Section 13.7 No Suspension of Obligations.

 

Neither the existence of any dispute, controversy, or claim nor the fact that any arbitration is pending shall relieve any of the Parties of its obligations under this Agreement except for obligations related to matters in dispute and under such pending arbitration.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties’ obligations set forth in Article 7 shall not be suspended even if related to matters in dispute and under pending arbitration.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision or 

 

  

36

  

 

condition is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

  

Section 14.3 Entire Agreement; Amendments.

 

This Agreement, the Confidential Memorandum and the JEMA, and the Schedules (including amendments and supplements thereto) hereto and thereto, contain the entire understanding among the Parties relating to the subject matter contained herein and therein and merges all prior negotiations, agreements, letters of intent, protocols, and discussions among them relating to the subject matter contained herein and therein.

Section 14.4 Waiver of Rights.

 

A Party may, only by an instrument in writing, waive compliance by another Party with any term or provision of this Agreement on the part of such other Party to be performed or complied with.  The waiver by any Party of a breach of any term or provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.  No failure or delay on the part of any Party in the exercise of any power or right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise of such right or power.

 

Section 14.5 Binding Effect.

 

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the sole benefit of the Parties, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, their respective successors and permitted assigns, and no other person shall be entitled to enforce this Agreement, rely on any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein, receive any rights hereunder or be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement.

 

Section 14.6 Parties Not a Partnership or Legal Entity.

 

This Agreement shall constitute a contractual commitment of the Parties and shall not be deemed a partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company, joint stock company, or other legal entity for any purpose or to appoint one Party to act as the general agent of another Party.  Each Party specifically disclaims liability to any third Party for the actions or failures of the other Party, whether or not such actions or failure are in accordance with this Agreement.

 

Section 14.7 Assignment.

 

No Party shall assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to a third party without the prior written consent of each of the other Parties; provided that such assignment shall not relieve such assigning Party of any of its obligations and responsibilities to the non-assigning Party unless expressly released from same in writing by such non-assigning Parties.

 

  

37

  

 

Section 14.8 Publicity.

 

As soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement the Parties shall prepare a joint press release in mutually agreeable form announcing the execution of this Agreement and describing certain of the provisions contained herein.  At mutually acceptable times during the term of this Agreement the Parties shall prepare additional joint press releases in mutually agreeable form announcing the completion of various achievements or milestones resulting from the provisions contained in this Agreement.  Each Party agrees that each of the other Parties may be required to make certain disclosures with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with applicable Laws.  Other than the Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by Helix following the execution of this Agreement, the filing of which is hereby acknowledged and agreed, prior to making any such required disclosure the Party required to make such disclosure will use its reasonable efforts to provide the other Parties in advance of such disclosure the content of the proposed disclosure and the proposed time, manner and place of such disclosure.

 

Section 14.9 Compliance by Affiliates.

 

Each Party shall cause its Affiliates to comply with the provisions of this Agreement, including Article 2.  Any breach of the provisions of this Agreement by an Affiliate of a Party shall be deemed a breach of the provisions of this Agreement by such Party.

 

Section 14.10 Equitable Remedies.

 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 13 above, each Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude any Party from seeking equitable relief, including specific performance, in a court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to all other remedies available to such Party.

With regard to their respective obligations and commitments under this Agreement, each Party covenants that it shall act in good faith and deal fairly with the other Parties hereto.

Section 14.13 Construction of Ambiguity.

 

Each Party agrees and acknowledges that this Agreement has been jointly negotiated and drafted and expresses the collective intent of the Parties.  Accordingly, in the event an ambiguity exists with regard to the interpretation of any particular provision of this Agreement, the rule of 

 

  

38

  

 

construction against the drafting Party, whichever it may be, shall have no application to this Agreement. In construing this Agreement:

 

(a) examples shall not be construed to limit, expressly or by implication, the matter they illustrate;

 

(b) each Schedule (including amendments and supplements thereto) to this Agreement is a part of this Agreement, but if there is any conflict or inconsistency between the main body of this Agreement and any Schedule (including amendments and supplements thereto), the provisions of the main body of this Agreement shall prevail; and

 

(c) the headings and titles herein are for convenience only and shall have no significance in the interpretation hereof.

 

Section 14.14 Expenses.

 

Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred in its performance of this Agreement, unless provided otherwise in this Agreement.

 

Section 14.15 Prohibited Payments.

 

No Party or any representative thereof shall make any Prohibited Payment or otherwise violate any Anti-Corruption Laws, directly or indirectly, in the course of the performance of this Agreement or any of the activities contemplated hereunder.  Each Party shall put in place such procedures as it may reasonably deem necessary to inform its officers, directors and employees in writing on a periodic basis of the prohibition of Prohibited Payments and compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws with regard to the Alliance, to obtain on a periodic basis their written acknowledgment of and agreement to abide by such prohibition and compliance, and to include appropriate language in all of such Party’s contracts with foreign sales agents or representatives, distributors and consultants incorporating the substance of such prohibition and compliance.

 

Section 14.16 Choice of Law.

 

This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to principles thereof relating to conflicts of law rules that would direct the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

 

Section 14.17 Counterparts.

 

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and such counterparts together shall constitute only one original.

hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the date hereof in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Required Lenders, by notice from the Administrative Agent to the Company, shall request
an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and
applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith, (ii) if an amendment is requested by the Company or the Required Lenders pursuant
to the preceding clause (i), then the Company and the Administrative Agent shall negotiate in good faith to prepare an amendment of the relevant affected provisions to preserve the original intent in light of such change in GAAP or the application
thereof, subject to the approval of the Company and the Required Lenders and (iii) notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of
amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, (A) without giving effect to any election under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, or any successor

not required to be so treated under GAAP as in effect on the date hereof. 
 (b) All pro forma computations required to be made hereunder
giving effect to any Material Acquisition, Material Disposition, Permitted Acquisition, incurrence (or repayment) of Indebtedness or other transaction shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto (and, in the case of any pro forma
computations made 

  
 41 

 
hereunder to determine whether such Material Acquisition, Material Disposition, Permitted Acquisition, incurrence (or repayment) of Indebtedness or other transaction is permitted to be
consummated hereunder, to any other such transaction of a nature referred to in this sentence that shall have been consummated since the first day (or, in the case of any incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness, the last day) of the period covered
by any component of such pro forma computation and on or prior to the date of such computation) as if such transaction had occurred on the first day (or, in the case of any incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness, the last day) of the period of four
consecutive fiscal quarters ending with the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements shall have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b), and, to the extent applicable, to the historical earnings and cash flows
associated with the assets acquired or disposed of and any related incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness, and any cost savings reasonably expected to be realized in connection with such acquisition or disposition, all in accordance with
Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of
determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period; provided that, if such Indebtedness is subject to a Hedging Agreement, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated on a weighted average basis using the effective
interest rate giving effect to such Hedging Agreement for the term thereof and the interest rate in effect on the date of determination (without giving effect to such Hedging Agreement) for the remaining term of such Indebtedness. For the avoidance
of doubt, pro forma computations will not be used for purposes of determining compliance with Sections 6.11 and 6.12 (but will be used where the utilization of, reliance upon or other applicability of any exception or basket set forth elsewhere in
this Agreement requires pro forma compliance with Section 6.11 and/or 6.12). 
 (c) For purposes of determining the permissibility of
any action, change, transaction or event that by the terms of the Loan Documents requires a calculation of any financial ratio or test (including the Leverage Ratio or Consolidated Total Assets), such financial ratio or test shall be calculated at
the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be, and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in such financial ratio
or test occurring after the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be. 

SECTION 1.05. Status of Obligations. (a) In the event that the Company or any other Loan Party shall at any time issue or have
outstanding any Subordinated Indebtedness, the Company shall take or cause such other Loan Party to take all such actions as shall be necessary to cause the Loan Document Obligations to constitute senior indebtedness (however denominated) in respect
of such Subordinated Indebtedness which would entitle the Lenders to have and exercise any payment blockage or other remedies available or potentially available to holders of senior indebtedness under the terms of such Subordinated Indebtedness.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Loan Document Obligations are hereby designated as “senior indebtedness” and as “designated senior indebtedness” under and in respect of any indenture or other agreement or instrument

  
 42 

 
under which such Subordinated Indebtedness is outstanding and are further given all such other designations as shall be required under the terms of any such Subordinated Indebtedness such that
the Loan Document Obligations will have the benefits potentially available to holders of senior indebtedness under the terms of such Subordinated Indebtedness. 

SECTION 1.06. Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents. (a) The Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of any
Borrowing denominated in a currency other than dollars as of the date of the commencement of the initial Interest Period therefor and as of the date of the commencement of each subsequent Interest Period therefor, in each case using the Exchange
Rate for such currency in relation to dollars in effect on the date that is two Business Days prior to the date on which the applicable Interest Period shall commence, and each such amount shall, except as provided in the last two sentences of this
Section, be the Dollar Equivalent of such Borrowing until the next required calculation thereof pursuant to this sentence. The Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than
dollars as of the date such Letter of Credit is issued, amended to increase its face amount, extended or renewed and as of the last Business Day of each subsequent calendar quarter, in each case using the Exchange Rate for such currency in relation
to dollars in effect on the date that is two Business Days prior to the date on which such Letter of Credit is issued, amended to increase its face amount, extended or renewed and as of the last Business Day of such subsequent calendar quarter, as
the case may be, and each such amount shall, except as provided in the last two sentences of this Section, be the Dollar Equivalent of such Letter of Credit until the next required calculation thereof pursuant to this sentence. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, for purposes of any determination under Article V, Article VI (other than Sections 6.11 and 6.12 and the calculation of any financial ratio for purposes of taking any action hereunder) or Article VII or any determination under any other
provision of this Agreement expressly requiring the use of a current exchange rate, all amounts incurred, outstanding or proposed to be incurred or outstanding in currencies other than dollars shall be translated into dollars at currency exchange
rates in effect on the date of such determination (such exchange rates to be obtained from the same quotation services or other sources as are used by the Company for purposes of preparing its annual and quarterly financial statements);
provided, that if any Indebtedness is incurred (and, if applicable, associated Lien granted) to refinance or replace other Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than dollars, and the relevant refinancing or replacement would cause the
applicable dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing or replacement, such dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so
long as the principal amount of such refinancing or replacement Indebtedness (and, if applicable, associated Lien granted) does not exceed an amount sufficient to repay the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced or replaced, except
by an amount equal to (x) unpaid accrued interest and premiums (including tender premiums) thereon plus other reasonable and customary fees and expenses (including upfront fees and original issue discount) incurred in connection with such
refinancing or replacement, (y) any existing commitments unutilized thereunder and (z) additional amounts permitted to be incurred under provisions of Section 6.01, other 

  
 43 

 
than Permitted Refinancing provisions (it being understood that such additional amounts shall be deemed to have been incurred in reliance on such other provisions) and (ii) for the avoidance
of doubt, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in the rate of currency exchange occurring after the time of any subject transaction so long as such subject transaction was permitted at the
time incurred, made, acquired, committed, entered or declared. For purposes of Sections 6.11 and 6.12, amounts in currencies other than dollars shall be translated into dollars at the currency exchange rates most recently used in preparing the
Company’s annual and quarterly financial statements. 
 (b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable
changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify with the Company’s consent to appropriately reflect a change in currency of any country and any relevant market convention or practice relating to such change in
currency. 
 SECTION 1.07. Timing of Payment or Performance. When payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant to
deliver any item is stated to be due or performance required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment (other than as described in the definition of Interest Period) or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding
Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. 

SECTION 1.08. Times of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to New York City time
(daylight or standard, as applicable).

 47 

 
reformed automatically) so as to eliminate any inconsistency. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon each issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of
any Letter of Credit the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the LC Exposure will not exceed $50,000,000, (ii) the portion of the LC

right on the part of such Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal from occurring by giving notice to the beneficiary in advance of any such renewal. 

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and
without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender, the Issuing Bank that is the issuer thereof hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a
participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender
hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, in the currency of the applicable Letter of Credit, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement
made by such Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower
for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance
whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit, the occurrence and continuance of a Default, any reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments or any force majeure or other event that under
any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Section 3.14 of ISP 98 or any successor publication of the International Chamber of Commerce) permits a drawing to be made

  
 48 

 
under such Letter of Credit after the expiration thereof or of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each
Revolving Lender further acknowledges and agrees that, in issuing, amending, renewing or extending any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon the representation
and warranty of the Company and the Borrowing Subsidiaries deemed made pursuant to Section 4.02, unless, at least one Business Day prior to the time such Letter of Credit is issued or amended, renewed or extended (or, in the case of an
automatic renewal permitted pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, at least one Business Day prior to the time by which the election not to extend must be made by the applicable Issuing Bank), the Majority in Interest of the Revolving
Lenders shall have notified the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in writing that, as a result of one or more events or circumstances described in such notice, one or more of the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 4.02(a) or 4.02(b) would not be satisfied if such Letter of Credit were then issued or amended, renewed or extended (it being understood and agreed that, in the event any Issuing Bank shall have received any such notice, no Issuing Bank
shall have any obligation to issue or amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit until and unless it shall be satisfied that the events and circumstances described in such notice shall have been cured or otherwise shall have ceased to exist). 

(e) Disbursements. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a
demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by it and shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery or facsimile) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank
has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 

(f) Reimbursements. If an Issuing Bank shall make an LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall
reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement, in the currency thereof, not later than (i) if the applicable Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to
10:00 a.m., Local Time, on any Business Day, then 3:00 p.m., Local Time, on such Business Day or (ii) otherwise, 3:00 p.m., Local Time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Company receives such notice; provided
that, in the case of an LC Disbursement in dollars, if the amount of such LC Disbursement is $100,000 or more, the applicable Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04
that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing and, to the extent so financed, the applicable Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing. If the applicable
Borrower fails to reimburse any LC Disbursement by the time specified above, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of such failure, the payment then due from the applicable Borrower in respect of the applicable LC Disbursement,
the currency thereof, and such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to 

  
 49 

 
the Administrative Agent in the currency of such LC Disbursement its Applicable Percentage of the amount then due from the applicable Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.05
with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.05 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this paragraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the
applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from a Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such
payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any
payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for an LC Disbursement (other than the funding of an ABR Revolving Borrowing as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the
applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 
 (g) Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligation
to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever
and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision thereof or hereof, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) any force majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Section 3.14 of ISP 98 or any successor publication of
the International Chamber of Commerce) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the stated expiration date thereof or of the Commitments or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the
Issuing Banks or any of their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit, any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any
of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document
required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any other act, failure to act or other event or circumstance; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from
liability to the applicable Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law)
suffered by such Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree
that, in 

  
 50 

 
the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (with such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
in a final and nonappealable judgment), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to
documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 

(h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC
Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the applicable Borrower reimburses
such LC Disbursement in full, at (i) in the case of any LC Disbursement denominated in dollars, the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans and (ii) in the case of an LC Disbursement denominated in Euro, Pounds Sterling or
any other Designated Currency, a rate per annum determined by the applicable Issuing Bank (which determination will be conclusive absent manifest error) to represent its cost of funds plus the Applicable Rate used to determine interest
applicable to LIBOR Revolving Loans and EURIBOR Revolving Loans; provided that, if such Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement in full when due pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section, Section 2.12(d) shall apply.
Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph
(f) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand has been made, on the date on which the applicable Borrower reimburses the
applicable LC Disbursement in full. 
 (i) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the
Business Day that the applicable Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, a Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders) demanding the
deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, each applicable Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 103% of
the portion of the LC Exposure attributable to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower and outstanding on such date, in the currency of such Letter of Credit, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that
the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any
Borrower described in clause (i) or (j) of Article VII. Each Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral in accordance with this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.10(b) or 2.19. Each such deposit

  
 51 

 
shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive
dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the
Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Security
Documents, be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of
the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to (i) the consent of a Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders and (ii) in the case of any such application at a time
when any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender (but only if, after giving effect thereto, the remaining cash collateral shall be less than the aggregate LC Exposure of all the Defaulting Lenders), the consent of each Issuing Bank), be applied to
satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as
aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.10(b), such
amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Aggregate Designated Currency Revolving Exposure would not exceed the Aggregate Designated Currency
Revolving Sublimit, the Aggregate Revolving Exposure would not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder
pursuant to Section 2.19, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers as promptly as practicable to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, no Issuing Bank shall have any exposure in
respect of any outstanding Letter of Credit that is not fully covered by the Revolving Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or the remaining cash collateral and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 

(j) Designation of Additional Issuing Banks. The Company may, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the Administrative
Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more Revolving Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below. The acceptance by a Revolving Lender of an appointment as an
Issuing Bank hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, executed by the Company, the Administrative Agent and such designated Revolving Lender and, from and
after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Revolving Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to
include such Revolving Lender in its capacity as an issuer of Letters of Credit hereunder. 

  
 52 

 (k) Termination of an Issuing Bank. The Company may terminate the appointment of any
Issuing Bank as an “Issuing Bank” hereunder by providing a written notice thereof to such Issuing Bank, with a copy to the Administrative Agent. Any such termination shall become effective upon the earlier of (i) such Issuing Bank
acknowledging receipt of such notice and (ii) the 10th Business Day following the date of the delivery thereof; provided that no such termination shall become effective until and unless the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit
issued by such Issuing Bank (or its Affiliates) shall have been reduced to zero. At the time any such termination shall become effective, the Company shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the terminated Issuing Bank pursuant to
Section 2.11(b). Notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such termination, the terminated Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of
Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not issue any additional Letters of Credit. 
 (l) Issuing Bank Reports to the
Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section, report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) periodic
activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Administrative Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and
cancelations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) reasonably prior to the time that such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the stated
amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii) on each Business Day on
which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date, currency and amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which the applicable Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing
Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such LC Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing
Bank. 
 (m) LC Exposure Determination. For all purposes of this Agreement (other than the payment of fees with respect thereto), the
amount of a Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after
giving effect to all such increases (other than any such increase consisting of the reinstatement of an amount previously drawn thereunder and reimbursed), whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at the time of determination. 

SECTION 2.05. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof
by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the applicable currency by 2:00 p.m., Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by 

  
 53 

 
notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly remitting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Applicable Funding
Account or, in the case of ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.04(f), to the Issuing Bank specified by the applicable Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request. 

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will
not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may,
in reliance on such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender
and such Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the
date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules
on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the subject Loan. If such Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan
included in such Borrowing. Any payment by any Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 2.06. Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing and Term Borrowing initially shall be of the Type and, in the case
of a LIBOR Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in the applicable Borrowing Request or as otherwise provided in Section 2.03. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert such
Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type (provided that LIBOR Borrowings denominated in Euro, Pounds Sterling or any other Designated Currency may not be converted into ABR Borrowings) or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a
LIBOR Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. A 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. 

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone
by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made 

  
 54 

 
on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the Administrative
Agent of an executed written Interest Election Request. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to
different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated 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, a LIBOR Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing; and 

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is to be a LIBOR Borrowing or a EURIBOR 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”. 
 If any such
Interest Election Request requests a LIBOR Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 

(c) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each
Lender of the applicable Class of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
 (d) If the
applicable Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a LIBOR Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing 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 in the case of a Term Borrowing or a Revolving Borrowing denominated in dollars, Euro, Pounds Sterling or any other Designated Currency, be continued as a LIBOR Borrowing (or a EURIBOR Borrowing,
in the case of a Revolving Borrowing denominated in Euro) for an additional Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default under clause (i) or (j) of Article VII has occurred and is
continuing with respect to any Borrower, or if any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, has notified the Company of the election to give effect to this sentence
on account of such other Event of Default, then, in each such case, so long as such Event of Default is continuing, (i) no outstanding Borrowing denominated in dollars may be converted to or continued as a LIBOR Borrowing, (ii) unless
repaid, each LIBOR Borrowing 

  
 55 

 
denominated in dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (iii) unless repaid, each LIBOR or EURIBOR Borrowing denominated in
Euro, Pounds Sterling or any other Designated Currency shall be continued as a LIBOR Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing, as applicable, with an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 

SECTION 2.07. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Tranche A Term Commitments terminated at 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the Effective Date. Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date. 

(b) The Company may at any time terminate, or from time to time permanently reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that
(i) each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum and (ii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving
Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the Aggregate Revolving Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment. 

(c) The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this
Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the
applicable Class of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments under paragraph (b) of
this Section may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified
effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their
respective Commitments of such Class. 
 SECTION 2.08. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Company hereby
unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.09. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to
the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of its own Revolving Loans on the Revolving Maturity Date. 

(b) The records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and
amounts of the obligations of the Borrowers in respect of the Loans, LC Disbursements, interest and fees due or accrued hereunder; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such records or any error
therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to pay any amounts due hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

  
 56 

 (c) Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note.
In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to
the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns); it being understood and agreed that such Lender (and/or its assignee or assignees) shall be required to return such promissory note
to the Company on the Termination Date. 
 SECTION 2.09. Amortization of Term Loans. (a) The Company shall repay Tranche A Term
Borrowings on each date set forth below in an amount equal to the percentage set forth opposite such date of the original aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans made on the Effective Date (as such amounts may be adjusted pursuant to
paragraph (c) of this Section):

 (b) To the extent not previously paid, (i) all Tranche A Term Loans shall be due and payable on the
Tranche A Term Maturity Date and (ii) all Incremental Term Loans of any Series shall be due and payable on the Incremental Term Maturity Date applicable thereto. 

(c) Any prepayment of a Tranche A Term Borrowing shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments (including the payment due at
maturity) of 

  
 57 

 
the Tranche A Term Borrowings to be made pursuant to this Section (i) in the case of voluntary prepayments pursuant to Section 2.10(a), as directed by the Company and (ii) in the
case of mandatory prepayments pursuant to Section 2.10(c), ratably based on the amount of such scheduled repayments. Any prepayment of an Incremental Term Borrowing of any Series shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of
Incremental Term Borrowings of Series to be made pursuant to this Section as shall be specified therefor in the Incremental Facility Agreement establishing the Incremental Term Commitments of such Series. Any prepayment of Term Borrowings of any
Class contemplated by Section 2.23 shall be applied to subsequent scheduled repayments of such Class as set forth in such Section. 

(d) Prior to (or, in the case of any ABR Loan, at the time of) any repayment of any Term Borrowing of any Class under this Section, the
Company shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of the applicable Class to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery or facsimile) of such selection not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time,
(i) three Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment in the case of a LIBOR or EURIBOR Borrowing or (ii) on the date of such repayment, in the case of an ABR Term Borrowing. Each repayment of a Term Borrowing shall be
applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing. Repayments of Term Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amounts repaid. If no such Borrowing or Borrowings shall be selected, such Borrowings shall be selected by
the Administrative Agent in a manner to minimize (based on the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent) the payment of any breakage costs pursuant to Section 2.15. 

SECTION 2.10. Prepayment of Loans. (a) Each Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any
Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section. 
 (b) In the event and on each occasion that the Aggregate
Revolving Exposure exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitment the Borrowers shall prepay Revolving Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent in accordance with
Section 2.04(i)) in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. In the event and on each occasion that the Aggregate Designated Currency Revolving Exposure exceeds the Aggregate Designated Currency Revolving Sublimit, the Borrowers
shall prepay Revolving Borrowings denominated in Euro, Pounds Sterling or any other Designated Currency (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent in accordance with
Section 2.04(i)) in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. 
 (c) In the event and on each occasion that any Net
Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Company shall, within five Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received, prepay Term Borrowings in an amount equal to such Net
Proceeds; provided that if the Company shall, prior to the date of the required prepayment, deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer of the Company to the effect that

the Company intends to cause the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof specified in such certificate) to be applied within 365 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds to acquire
assets (other than cash, Permitted Investments or other cash equivalents, except to the extent acquired as part of a Permitted Acquisition or other acquisition) to be used in the business of the Company or the Subsidiaries, or to consummate any
Permitted Acquisition (or any other acquisition of all or substantially all the assets of (or all or substantially all the assets constituting a business unit, division, product line or line of business of) any Person) permitted hereunder, and
certifying that no Default has occurred and is continuing, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of the Net Proceeds from such event (or the portion of such Net Proceeds specified in such certificate, if
applicable) except to the extent of any such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied by the end of such 365-day period (or within a period of 180 days thereafter if by the end of such initial 365-day period the Company or one or more Subsidiaries shall have committed to acquire such assets, or to consummate such Permitted Acquisition or other acquisition, with such Net Proceeds), at which time a
prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to the Net Proceeds that have not been so applied. 
 (d) Prior to any optional or mandatory
prepayment of Borrowings under this Section, the applicable Borrower shall, subject the next sentence, specify the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid in the notice of such prepayment delivered pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section. In
the event of any optional or mandatory prepayment of Term Borrowings made at a time when Term Borrowings of more than one Class remain outstanding, the Borrower shall select Term Borrowings to be prepaid so that the aggregate amount of such
prepayment is allocated among the Term Borrowings pro rata based on the aggregate principal amounts of outstanding Borrowings of each such Class; provided that the amounts so allocable to Incremental Term Loans of any Series may be applied to
other Term Borrowings as provided in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement. 
 (e) The applicable Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery or facsimile) of any optional prepayment and, to the extent practicable, any mandatory prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a LIBOR Borrowing or EURIBOR Borrowing,
not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be
irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment;
provided that (A) if a notice of optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.07 (or, if the Revolving Commitments have terminated and
Loans are outstanding and a conditional optional notice of prepayment is given in the manner specified in Section 2.07), then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.07
and (B) a notice of prepayment of Term Borrowings pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case

  
 59 

 
such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of
any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the applicable Class of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of
the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments
shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12. 
 SECTION 2.11. Fees. (a) The Company
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender (subject to Section 2.19 in the case of a Defaulting Lender) a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily unused amount of
the Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period (x) from and including the date hereof (y) to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the first
Business Day following the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for
the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees, a Revolving Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC
Exposure of such Lender. 
 (b) The Company agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender
(subject to Section 2.19 in the case of a Defaulting Lender) a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to LIBOR
Revolving Loans on the daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on
which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon
between the Company and such Issuing Bank on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period
from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any such LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to
the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be
payable on the first Business Day following such last day; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments
terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 30 days after demand. 

  
 60 

 
All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the
last day). 
 (c) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times
separately agreed upon between the Company and the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due,
in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to an Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Revolving Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid
hereunder shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 
 SECTION 2.12. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR
Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (b) The Loans comprising each LIBOR Borrowing shall
bear interest at (i) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in dollars, the Adjusted LIBO Rate and (ii) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in a currency other than dollars, the LIBO Rate, in each case for the Interest Period in effect
for such Borrowing, plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (c) The Loans comprising each EURIBOR Revolving Borrowing shall bear interest at the
EURIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by any Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before
judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of
any other amount, 2% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section. 

(e) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of a Revolving
Loan, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan
(other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period), 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 a LIBOR Loan or a EURIBOR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 

  
 61 

 (f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that
(i) interest on Borrowings denominated in Pounds Sterling and (ii) interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall each be computed on the basis of a year of
365 days (or, in the case of ABR Borrowings, 366 days in 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). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, LIBO
Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or EURIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

SECTION 2.13. Alternate Rate of Interest; Illegality. (a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR
Borrowing or EURIBOR Borrowing in any currency: 
 (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the LIBO Rate or the EURIBO Rate, as the case may be, in respect of a Loan in such currency for such Interest Period; or 

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (or, in the case of a circumstance that by its nature affects
only Loans of one Class, a Majority in Interest of the Lenders of such Class) that the Adjusted LIBO Rate, LIBO Rate or EURIBO Rate, as the case may be, in respect of a Loan in such currency 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 notice (which may be telephone) thereof to the applicable Borrower and the Lenders (or the Lenders of the affected Class, as the case may be) as promptly as practicable and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the applicable Borrower
and the Lenders (or the Lenders of the affected Class) that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing (or a Borrowing of the affected Class, as
the case may be) to, or continuation of any Borrowing (or Borrowing of the affected Class) as, an affected LIBOR Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing, as the case may be, shall be ineffective, (ii) any affected LIBOR Borrowing or EURIBOR Borrowing
that is requested to be continued shall (A) if denominated in dollars, be continued as an ABR Borrowing, or (B) otherwise, bear interest at a rate established by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Company and (iii) any
Borrowing Request for an affected LIBOR Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing shall (A) if denominated in dollars, be deemed a request for an ABR Borrowing, or (B) otherwise, bear interest at a rate established by the Administrative Agent in
consultation with the Company. 
 (b) If any Lender determines that due to any Change in Law it is unlawful, or that any Governmental
Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans, or to charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate or EURIBOR Rate, in each case, as contemplated by this Agreement,
then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Company through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue 

  
 62 

 
the affected Loans or to convert ABR Loans to affected Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such
determination no longer exist (which notice such Lender agrees to promptly give), (ii) upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay the affected Loans of such
Lender or, in the case of a Loan in dollars, if lawful and otherwise permitted hereunder (including under Section 2.06), convert such Loans to ABR Loans (the rate of interest on which shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined
by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of Alternate Base Rate) and (iii) upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and
all amounts due, if any, in connection with such prepayment or conversion under Section 2.15. Each Lender agrees to designate a different applicable lending office if such designation will avoid the need for any such notice and will not, in the
good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. 
 SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs.
(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 assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or Issuing Bank; 

(ii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than
Taxes) affecting this Agreement or LIBOR or EURIBOR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or 

(iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses
(b) through (d) of the definition of the term “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan 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 or other Recipient of making,
converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of
maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount)
in an amount determined by such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient to be material then, from time to time, the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, in accordance with paragraph
(c) of this Section, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs or expenses incurred or 

  
 63 

 
reduction suffered (except for any Tax imposed in respect of any payments of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder, which, for the avoidance of doubt, are covered by
Section 2.16); provided, that no Lender shall be entitled to such compensation if the relevant Change in Law shall have occurred prior to the date on which it shall have become a Lender, unless (i) such Lender became a Lender as a
result of an assignment hereunder and its assignor shall have been entitled to compensation immediately before such Lender became a Lender, or (ii) the relevant costs, expenses or reduction relate to a Borrowing Subsidiary that shall not have
been a Borrowing Subsidiary at the time such Lender became a Lender and existed at the time such Subsidiary became a Borrowing Subsidiary. 

(b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender
or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has had or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital
of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit
issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law other than due to Tax imposed in respect of any payments
of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder, which, for the avoidance of doubt, are covered by Section 2.16 (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such
Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then, from time to time, the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, in accordance with paragraph
(c) of this Section, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

(c) A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its
holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section delivered to the applicable Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender or Issuing Bank shall be entitled to seek compensation for additional amounts or costs pursuant to this
Section unless the certificate referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall state that it is the general practice of such Lender or Issuing Bank at such time to seek compensation under similar circumstances from other similarly situated
borrowers with credit agreements containing yield protection provisions that provide for such compensation. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the
part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the applicable Borrower shall
not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this 

  
 64 

 
Section for any increased costs or expenses incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the applicable
Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving
rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

(e) It is understood that this Section shall not apply to any Tax imposed in respect of any payment of principal, interest, fees or any other
amount payable hereunder, which Taxes, for the avoidance of doubt, are covered by Section 2.16. 
 SECTION 2.15. Break Funding
Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Loan or EURIBOR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any
LIBOR Loan or EURIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert or continue any LIBOR Loan or EURIBOR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto,
(d) the failure to prepay any LIBOR Loan or EURIBOR Loan on a date specified therefor in any notice of prepayment given by the applicable Borrower (whether or not such notice may be revoked in accordance with the terms hereof) or (e) the
assignment of any LIBOR Loan or EURIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the applicable Borrower
shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event (other than loss of profit). 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 LIBO Rate, LIBO Rate or EURIBO Rate, as the case may be, that would have been applicable to such Loan (but not
including the Applicable Rate applicable thereto), 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, 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 such Lender would bid if it were to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar
deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London interbank market; it being understood that such loss, cost or expense shall in any case exclude any interest rate floor and all administrative, processing or similar fees. The
Company shall also compensate each Term Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to any failure by the Company to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a LIBOR Term Loan. A certificate of any Lender delivered to the
Company setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section the basis therefor and, in reasonable detail, the manner in which such amount or amounts was determined shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. 

  
 65 

 SECTION 2.16. Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on
account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an
applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full
amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such
deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deduction or withholding been made. 
 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 

(c) Evidence of Payment. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to
this Section, such Loan Party 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 return reporting such payment or other evidence of
such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall
jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section but
excluding any penalties, interests, or additions to such Indemnified Taxes directly resulting from any action taken by a Recipient in bad faith or the gross negligence or intentional delay of such Recipient) payable or paid by such Recipient or
required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified 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 Company by a Lender (with a copy 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. 
 (e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative
Agent, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and
without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c)(ii) 

  
 66 

 
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 (e). 

(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to
payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to each Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably
requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall
deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup
withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in
Section 2.16(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would
materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender (which cost, expense or material prejudice would not have arisen but for the completion, execution or submission of such documents). 

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is a U.S. Person, 

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which
such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal
backup withholding tax; 
 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the
Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable
request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 

  
 67 

 (i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty
to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the
“interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the
“business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 
 (ii) executed originals of IRS Form
W-8ECI; 
 (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under
Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent
shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”)
and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or 
 (iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner,
executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each
beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax
Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 
 (C)
any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender
becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from
or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction
required to be made; and 

  
 68 

 (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to
U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall
deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as
prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their
obligations under FATCA and 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 clause (D), “FATCA”
shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it
previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. In the case of
Borrowers other than the Company, each Lender shall deliver to the Company a copy of any documentation required pursuant to this Section 2.16(f). 

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a
refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent
of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (plus any penalties, interest or other
charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, in no event will the
indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if
the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its
Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 
 (h) Issuing Bank. For purposes of this Section,
the term “Lender” shall include any Issuing Bank.

 (i) FATCA. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and
after the effective date of this Agreement, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within
the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i). 
 SECTION 2.17. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of
Setoffs. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time
is expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m., Local Time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without any defense, setoff, recoupment 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 such account as may be specified by the Administrative Agent, except that
payments required to be made directly to any Issuing Bank shall be so made, payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 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 payment received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. All payments hereunder of principal
or interest in respect of any Loan or LC Disbursement shall be made in the currency of such Loan or LC Disbursement; all other payments hereunder and under each other 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,
unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied towards payment of the amounts then due hereunder ratably among the parties entitled thereto, in accordance with the amounts then due to such parties.

 (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or
interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the
proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC
Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the amount of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amounts of principal of and accrued interest on their Loans and participations in
LC Disbursements; 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 paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt,
as in effect from time to 

  
 70 

 
time and including Sections 2.19, 2.20, 2.21, 2.23 and 9.02(e)) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or
participations in LC Disbursements to any Person that is an Eligible Assignee (as such term is defined from time to time). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any
Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such 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 notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which
any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or Issuing Banks hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in
accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or Issuing
Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed
to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or any
Issuing Bank, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such
Lender’s obligations in respect of such payment until all such unsatisfied obligations have been discharged or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of
such Lender pursuant to Sections 2.04(c), 2.04(d), 2.04(f), 2.05(b), 2.16(e), 2.17(d) and 9.03(c), in each case in such order as shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion. 

SECTION 2.18. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14 or
such Lender determines that it can no longer make or fund Loans, pursuant to Section 2.13(b), or if any Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account
of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Company) use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign and delegate its
rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or
2.16, as applicable, or mitigate the impact of Section 2.13(b) as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed out of pocket cost or 

  
 71 

 
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The applicable Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in
connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation. 
 (b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.14 or such Lender determines that it can no longer make or fund Loans, pursuant to Section 2.13(b), (ii) any Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority
for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, (iii) any Lender has become a Defaulting Lender or (iv) any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that under Section 9.02
requires the consent of all the Lenders (or all the affected Lenders or all the Lenders of the affected Class) and with respect to which the Required Lenders (or, in circumstances where Section 9.02 does not require the consent of the Required
Lenders, a Majority in Interest of the Lenders of the affected Class) shall have granted their consent, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (y) terminate the applicable
Commitments of such Lender, and repay all Loan Document Obligations of any Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the applicable Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date under one or more facilities or as the
Company may elect or (z) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to
payments pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (or, in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a failure to provide a consent, all its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as a Lender of a particular Class) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment and delegation);
provided that (A) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, in circumstances where its consent would be required under Section 9.04, each Issuing Bank), which consent shall not
unreasonably be withheld, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and, if applicable, participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other
amounts payable to it hereunder (if applicable, in each case only to the extent such amounts relate to its interest as a Lender of a particular Class) from the assignee (in the case of such principal and accrued interest and fees) or a Borrower (in
the case of all other amounts), (C) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in
a reduction in such compensation or payments, (D) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law and (E) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from the failure to provide a consent, the assignee shall have
given such consent and, as a result of such assignment and delegation and any contemporaneous assignments and delegations and consents, the applicable amendment, waiver, discharge or termination can be effected. A Lender shall not be required to
make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the applicable Borrower to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply.

  
 72 

 
Each party hereto agrees that an assignment and delegation required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the applicable Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment and delegation need not be a party thereto and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register and any such Promissory Note shall be deemed cancelled. Each
Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Lender and in the name of such Lender, from time
to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, with prior written notice to such Lender, to take any action and to execute any such Assignment and Assumption or other instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to
carry out the provisions of this paragraph (b). 
 SECTION 2.19. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement
to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 

(a) commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the unused amount of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 2.11; 
 (b) the Revolving Commitment and Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in
determining whether the Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that any amendment,
waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof; 

(c) if any LC Exposure exists at the time such Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: 

(i) the LC Exposure (other than any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements with respect to which such
Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Sections 2.04(d) and 2.04(f)) of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but
only to the extent that any Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Exposure after giving effect to such reallocation would not exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment; 

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall,
without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to them hereunder or under law, within two Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks the portion of such Defaulting
Lender’s LC Exposure that has not been reallocated in 

  
 73 

 
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(i) (but with the amount of cash being equal to 100% of the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure that has not been
reallocated) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and to the applicable Issuing Bank with respect to such LC Exposure. Cash collateral (or the appropriate
portion thereof) provided to reduce LC Exposure, shall be released promptly following (A) the elimination of the applicable LC Exposure, giving rise thereto (including by the termination of the Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender
(or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 2.18)) or (B) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash collateral (including any subsequent reallocation of LC Exposure among
non-Defaulting Lenders described above); 
 (iii) if any portion of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated
pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11 shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation; 

(iv) if any portion of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is cash collateralized pursuant to clause (ii) above,
then, during the period any such LC Exposure is cash collateralized, no participation fee shall accrue on such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure under Section 2.11(b) (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any portion thereof reallocated
among the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to clause (i) above); and 
 (v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting
Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all participation fees
payable under Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks (and allocated among them ratably based on the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to
Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank) until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and 

(d) so long as such Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, renew or extend
any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be fully covered by the Revolving Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral provided by
the Borrowers or otherwise provided for in accordance with Section 2.19(c), and participating interests in any such issued, amended, renewed or extended Letter of Credit will be allocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent
with Section 2.19(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). 

  
 74 

 In the event that a Bankruptcy Event with respect to any Person in respect of which any Revolving
Lender is a subsidiary shall have occurred following the date hereof and for so long as such Bankruptcy Event shall continue, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit unless such Issuing Bank shall have
entered into arrangements with the Borrowers or the applicable Revolving Lender reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder. 

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Company and each Issuing Bank each agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all
matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposures of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such
of the Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Revolving Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the fact that any
Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, (x) except as expressly provided in the proviso to paragraph (a) of this Section, no adjustments will be made retroactively with
respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender and (y) except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to
Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 

SECTION 2.20. Incremental Facilities. (a) The Company may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent,
request (i) the establishment, during the Revolving Availability Period, of Incremental Revolving Commitments and/or (ii) the establishment of Incremental Term Commitments, provided that the aggregate amount of all the Incremental
Commitments established hereunder shall not exceed $100,000,000 during the term of this Agreement. Each such notice shall specify (A) the date on which the Company proposes that the Incremental Revolving Commitments or the Incremental Term
Commitments, as applicable, shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative
Agent, and (B) the amount of the Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Commitments, as applicable, being requested (it being agreed that (x) any Lender approached to provide any Incremental Revolving Commitment or
Incremental Term Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Revolving Commitment or Incremental Term Commitment and (y) any Person that the Company proposes to become an Incremental Lender, if such
Person is not then a Lender, must be an Eligible Assignee and must be approved by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any proposed Incremental Revolving Lender, each Issuing Bank (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld)). 

(b) The terms and conditions of any Incremental Revolving Commitment and the Loans and other extensions of credit to be made thereunder shall
be identical to those of the Revolving Commitments and the Loans and other extensions of credit made 

  
 75 

 
thereunder, and shall be treated as a single Class with such Revolving Commitments and Loans; provided that, if the Company determines to increase the interest rate or fees payable in
respect of Incremental Revolving Commitments or Loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder, such increase shall be permitted if the interest rate or fees payable in respect of the other Revolving Commitments or Loans and other extensions
of credit made thereunder, as applicable, shall be increased to equal such interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Incremental Revolving Commitments or Loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder, as the case may be;
provided further that the Company at its election may pay upfront, closing or similar fees with respect to Incremental Revolving Commitments without paying such fees with respect to the other Revolving Commitments. The terms and conditions of
any Incremental Term Commitments and the Incremental Term Loans to be made thereunder shall be, except with respect to pricing, upfront closing or similar fees or original issue discount, amortization and maturity, substantially identical to those
of the Tranche A Term Commitments and the Tranche A Term Loans; provided that (i) the weighted average life to maturity of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Tranche
A Term Loans and (ii) no Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date shall be earlier than the Revolving Maturity Date or the Tranche A Term Maturity Date. Any Incremental Term Commitments established pursuant to an Incremental Facility Agreement that
have identical terms and conditions, and any Incremental Term Loans made thereunder, shall be designated as a separate series (each a “Series”) of Incremental Term Commitments and Incremental Term Loans for all purposes of this
Agreement. 
 (c) The Incremental Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Incremental Facility Agreements executed and
delivered by the Company, each Incremental Lender providing such Incremental Commitments and the Administrative Agent; provided that, except as set forth in the penultimate sentence of this paragraph (c), no Incremental Commitments shall
become effective unless (i) on the date of effectiveness thereof, both immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments (and assuming that the full amount of such Incremental Commitments shall have been
funded as Loans on such date), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments (and assuming that the full amount of such Incremental Commitments shall have been funded as Loans on such
date), and any related transaction, on a pro forma basis in accordance with Section 1.04(b), the Company shall be in compliance with the covenants set forth in Sections 6.11 and 6.12 (in each case, calculated as of the last day of or for
the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Company then most recently ended for which the financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b)); provided that, solely for purposes of determining the
Leverage Ratio for purposes of this clause (ii), Total Indebtedness shall be determined on a pro forma basis with all Revolving Commitments then in effect (including any Incremental Revolving Commitments) being deemed outstanding
“Indebtedness”, (iii) the Company shall make any payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15 in connection with such Incremental Commitments and the related transactions under this Section and (iv) the Company
shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other documents as shall 

  
 76 

 
reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Incremental Commitments shall be established to finance a
Permitted Acquisition or any Investment permitted hereunder, then, to the extent agreed by the Lenders providing such Incremental Commitments, customary “Sungard” or certain funds conditionality may be implemented with respect to the
funding of such Incremental Commitments (but not the Commitments of other Lenders) in lieu of the conditions set forth in this paragraph (c). Each Incremental Facility Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender, effect such amendments to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the provisions of this Section. 

(d) Upon the effectiveness of an Incremental Commitment of any Incremental Lender, (i) such Incremental Lender shall be deemed to be a
“Lender” (and a Lender in respect of Commitments and Loans of the applicable Class) hereunder, and henceforth shall be entitled to all the rights of, and benefits accruing to, Lenders (or Lenders in respect of Commitments and Loans of the
applicable Class) hereunder and shall be bound by all agreements, acknowledgements and other obligations of Lenders (or Lenders in respect of Commitments and Loans of the applicable Class) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and
(ii) in the case of any Incremental Revolving Commitment, (A) such Incremental Revolving Commitment shall constitute (or, in the event such Incremental Lender already has a Revolving Commitment, shall increase) the Revolving Commitment of
such Incremental Lender, and (B) the Aggregate Revolving Commitment shall be increased by the amount of such Incremental Revolving Commitment, in each case, subject to further increase or reduction from time to time as set forth in the
definition of the term “Revolving Commitment”. For the avoidance of doubt, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Commitment, the Revolving Exposures and the Designated Currency Revolving Exposures, and the Applicable
Percentages of all the Revolving Lenders, shall automatically be adjusted to give effect thereto. 
 (e) In connection with the
effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Commitments, (i) the Borrowers and the Lenders shall implement such measures as shall be reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent (which may include assignments, deemed prepayments of Loans or
other measures) in order that the Revolving Exposures of the Lenders will be held ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments, and (ii) any “breakage” costs resulting from the implementation of such measures shall be
subject to compensation by the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.15 if the date of the effectiveness of such measures occurs other than on the last day of an applicable Interest Period. 

(f) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement, each Lender holding an
Incremental Term Commitment of any Series shall make a loan to the Company in an amount equal to such Incremental Term Commitment on the date specified in such Incremental Facility Agreement. 

  
 77 

 (g) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt by the Administrative
Agent of any notice from the Company referred to in Section 2.20(a) and of the effectiveness of any Incremental Commitments, in each case advising the Lenders of the details thereof and, in the case of effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving
Commitments, of the Applicable Percentages of the Revolving Lenders after giving effect thereto and of the assignments required to be made pursuant to 
Section 2.20(e). 

SECTION 2.21. Extension Offers. (a) The Company may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, make
one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) to all the Lenders of one or more Classes (each Class subject to such an Extension Offer, an “Extension Request Class”) to make one or more Extension Permitted
Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Company. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Extension Permitted Amendment and
(ii) the date on which such Extension Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days or more than 30 Business Days after the date of such notice, unless otherwise agreed to by the
Administrative Agent). Extension Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Lenders of the Extension Request Class that accept the applicable Extension Offer (such Lenders, the
“Extending Lenders”) and, in the case of any Extending Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and Commitments of such Extension Request Class as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made. 

(b) An Extension Permitted Amendment shall be effected pursuant to an Extension Agreement executed and delivered by the Company, each
applicable Extending Lender and the Administrative Agent; provided that no Extension Permitted Amendment shall become effective unless (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of effectiveness thereof, and
(ii) the Company shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other documents as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative
Agent in connection therewith. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Agreement. Each Extension Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Extending
Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the provisions of this Section, including any amendments necessary to
treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the accepting Lenders as a new “Class” of loans and/or commitments hereunder; provided that, in the case of any Extension Offer relating to Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans,
except as otherwise agreed to by each Issuing Bank, (i) the allocation of the participation exposure with respect to any then-existing or subsequently issued Letter of Credit as between the commitments of such new “Class” and the
remaining Revolving Commitments shall be made on a ratable basis as between the commitments of such new “Class” and the remaining Revolving Commitments and (ii) the Revolving Availability Period and the Revolving Maturity Date, as
such terms are used in reference to Letters of Credit, may not be extended without the prior written consent of each Issuing Bank. 

  
 78 

 SECTION 2.22. Borrowing Subsidiaries. On or after the Restatement Effective Date, the
Company may designate, subject to the provisions of this paragraph, any wholly-owned Subsidiary as a Borrowing Subsidiary by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement executed by such Subsidiary and the Company.
Promptly following receipt of any Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall make available to each Revolving Lender a copy thereof. Unless any Revolving Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Company within 10
Business Days of the receipt of such notice (a) that it is unlawful for such Revolving Lender to extend credit to such Subsidiary or (b) that (i) such Revolving Lender is restricted by operational or administrative procedures or other
applicable internal policies from extending credit under this Agreement to Persons in the jurisdiction in which such Subsidiary is located and (ii) such Revolving Lender is not making loans or other extensions of credit to any Person located in
the jurisdiction in which such Subsdiary is located (or is not making loans or other extensions of credit without provisions not in this Agreement to reflect such procedures or internal policies), such Subsidiary shall for all purposes of this
Agreement, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.03, become a Borrowing Subsidiary and a party to this Agreement. If any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Company pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence that it is unable to extend credit under this Agreement to Persons in a particular jurisdiction, and if an amendment to this Agreement would enable it so to extend credit without violating applicable law and in compliance with its
applicable policies and procedures, then such Lender shall so advise the Company and the Administrative Agent and endeavor in good faith to agree with the Company and the Administrative Agent on an amendment to this Agreement that would permit it so
to extend credit, and upon the effectiveness of such amendment, will withdraw the notice delivered by it pursuant to the second preceding sentence. The parties hereto agree that any amendment referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, if it
does not adversely affect the rights or interests of the Lenders, shall become effective if it is agreed to in writing by such Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Company. Upon the execution by the Company and delivery to the Administrative
Agent of a Borrowing Subsidiary Termination with respect to any Borrowing Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall cease to be a Borrowing Subsidiary hereunder and a party to this Agreement; provided that no Borrowing Subsidiary Termination will
become effective as to any Borrowing Subsidiary (other than to terminate such Borrowing Subsidiary’s right to make further Borrowings under this Agreement) at a time when any principal of or interest on any Loan to such Borrowing Subsidiary or
any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrowing Subsidiary shall be outstanding hereunder. Promptly following receipt of any Borrowing Subsidiary Termination, the Administrative Agent shall make available to each Revolving Lender a
copy thereof. 
 SECTION 2.23. Refinancing Facilities. (a) The Company may, on one or more occasions, by written notice to the
Administrative Agent, request the establishment hereunder of (i) a new Class of revolving commitments (the “Refinancing Revolving Commitments”) pursuant to which each Person providing such a commitment (a “Refinancing
Revolving Lender”) will make revolving loans to the Borrowers (“Refinancing Revolving Loans”) and acquire participations in the Letters of Credit and (ii) one or more additional Classes of term loan commitments (the
“Refinancing Term  

  
 79 

 
Loan Commitments”) pursuant to which each Person providing such a commitment (a “Refinancing Term Lender”) will make term loans to the Company (the
“Refinancing Term Loans”); provided that (A) each Refinancing Revolving Lender and each Refinancing Term Loan Lender shall be an Eligible Assignee and, if not already a Lender, shall otherwise be reasonably acceptable to
the Administrative Agent and (B) each Refinancing Revolving Lender shall be approved by each Issuing Bank (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). 

(b) The Refinancing Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Refinancing Facility Agreements executed and delivered by the
Company, each Refinancing Lender providing such Refinancing Commitment, the Administrative Agent and, in the case of Refinancing Revolving Commitments, each Issuing Bank; provided that no Refinancing Commitments shall become effective unless
(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of effectiveness thereof, (ii) the Company shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates,
officer’s certificates and other documents as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction, (iii) in the case of any Refinancing Revolving Commitments, substantially concurrently with
the effectiveness thereof, all the Revolving Commitments then in effect shall be terminated, and all the Revolving Loans then outstanding, together with all interest thereon, and all other amounts accrued for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders,
shall be repaid or paid (it being understood, however, that any Letters of Credit may continue to be outstanding hereunder), and the aggregate amount of such Refinancing Revolving Commitments does not exceeded the aggregate amount of the Revolving
Commitments so terminated, and (iv) in the case of any Refinancing Term Loan Commitments, substantially concurrently with the effectiveness thereof, the Company shall obtain Refinancing Term Loans thereunder and shall repay or prepay then
outstanding Term Borrowings of any Class in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate amount of such Refinancing Term Loan Commitments (less the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such outstanding Term
Borrowings and any reasonable fees, premium and expenses relating to such refinancing) (and any such prepayment of Term Borrowings of any Class shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of Term Borrowings of such Class to be
made pursuant to Section 2.09(a) as directed by the Company and, in the case of a prepayment of LIBOR Term Loans and EURIBOR Term Loans, shall be subject to Section 2.15. 

(c) The Refinancing Facility Agreement shall set forth, with respect to the Refinancing Commitments established thereby and the Refinancing
Loans and other extensions of credit to be made thereunder, to the extent applicable, the following terms thereof: (i) the designation of such Refinancing Commitments and Refinancing Loans as a new “Class” for all purposes hereof,
(ii) the stated termination and maturity dates applicable to the Refinancing Commitments or Refinancing Loans of such Class, provided that (A) such stated termination and maturity dates shall not be earlier than the Revolving
Maturity Date (in the case of Refinancing Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Loans) or the Tranche A Term Maturity Date (in the case of Refinancing Term Loan Commitments and Refinancing Term Loans), (iii) in the case of any
Refinancing Term Loans, any amortization applicable thereto and the effect thereon 

  
 80 

 
of any prepayment of such Refinancing Term Loans, (iv) the interest rate or rates applicable to the Refinancing Loans of such Class, (v) the fees applicable to the Refinancing
Commitment or Refinancing Loans of such Class, (vi) in the case of any Refinancing Term Loans, any original issue discount applicable thereto, (vii) the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods applicable to Refinancing Loans of such
Class, (viii) any voluntary or mandatory commitment reduction or prepayment requirements applicable to Refinancing Commitments or Refinancing Loans of such Class (which prepayment requirements, in the case of any Refinancing Term Loans, may
provide that such Refinancing Term Loans may participate in any mandatory prepayment on a pro rata basis with the Tranche A Term Loans, but may not provide for prepayment requirements that are more favorable to the Lenders holding such Refinancing
Term Loans than to the Lenders holding Tranche A Term Loans) and any restrictions on the voluntary or mandatory reductions or prepayments of Refinancing Commitments or Refinancing Loans of such Class and (ix) any financial covenant with which
the Company shall be required to comply (provided that any such financial covenant for the benefit of any Class of Refinancing Lenders shall also be for the benefit of all other Lenders). Except as contemplated by the preceding sentence, the
terms of the Refinancing Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit thereunder shall be substantially the same as the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit thereunder or
less favorable, taken as a whole, to the Lenders providing such Refinancing Revolving Commitments (as reasonably determined by the Company); provided, that such Refinancing Revolving Commitments may have the benefit of additional financial or
other covenants or other provisions agreed by the Company and the applicable Lenders to the extent such covenants, or other provisions take effect only after the latest Maturity Date, and the terms of the Refinancing Term Loan Commitments and
Refinancing Term Loans shall be substantially the same as the terms of the Tranche A Term Commitments and the Tranche A Term Loans or less favorable, taken as a whole, to the Lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loan Commitments (as reasonably
determined by the Company); provided, that such Refinancing Term Loan Commitments may have the benefit of additional financial or other covenants or other provisions agreed by the Company and the applicable Lenders to the extent such
covenants, or other provisions take effect only after the latest Maturity Date. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Facility Agreement. Each Refinancing Facility Agreement may,
without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Refinancing Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to
the provisions of this Section, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Refinancing Commitments and Refinancing Loans as a new “Class” of loans and/or commitments hereunder. 

(d) In lieu of establishing one or more Classes of Refinancing Term Loan Commitments and Refinancing Term Loans, the Company may refinance
outstanding Term Borrowings of any Class with the proceeds of one or more issuances of debt securities of the Company secured by the Collateral with a priority equal to that of the Secured Obligations (any such debt securities issued in compliance
with this paragraph (d) being called “Permitted Pari Passu Refinancing Securities”); provided that (i) the 

  
 81 

 
principal amount of such debt securities shall not exceed the principal amount of the refinanced Term Borrowings except by an amount equal to the sum of (A) accrued and unpaid interest with
respect to such Term Borrowings, premiums thereon plus underwriting discounts, other reasonable and customary fees, commissions and expenses (including upfront fees, original issue discount or initial yield premiums) incurred in connection with the
issuance of such debt securities, (ii) substantially concurrently with the issuance thereof, the Company shall repay or prepay then outstanding Term Borrowings in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate amount of the cash proceeds
of such debt securities (less the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such outstanding Term Borrowings and any reasonable fees, premium and expenses relating to the issuance of such debt securities) (and any such
prepayment of Term Borrowings of any Class shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of Term Borrowings of such Class to be made pursuant to Section 2.09(a) as directed by the Company and, in the case of a prepayment of
LIBOR Term Loans or EURIBOR Term Loans, shall be subject to Section 2.15), (iii) the stated final maturity of such debt securities shall not be earlier than that of the refinanced Term Borrowings; (iv) such debt securities shall not
be required to be repaid, prepaid, redeemed, repurchased or defeased, whether on one or more fixed dates, upon the occurrence of one or more events or at the option of any holder thereof (except, in each case, upon the occurrence of an event of
default, change in control or any asset sale or as and to the extent such repayment, prepayment, redemption, repurchase or defeasance would have been required pursuant to the terms of such refinanced Term Borrowings) prior to the maturity of such
refinanced Term Borrowings; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, scheduled amortization payments (however denominated) of such debt securities shall be permitted so long as the weighted average life to maturity of such debt
securities shall be not less than the shorter of (x) the weighted average life to maturity of such refinanced Term Borrowings remaining as of the date of issuance of such debt securities and (y) the weighted average life to maturity of
each other Class of the Term Loans remaining as of the date of issuance of such debt securities; (v) such debt securities shall not be direct obligations of or Guaranteed by any Subsidiary that does not Guarantee the Secured Obligations;
(vi) such debt securities shall not be secured by any Lien on any asset not included in the Collateral; (vii) such debt securities shall not have the benefit of any financial maintenance covenant that is not included in this Agreement at
the time of issuance thereof or that has covenant levels more restrictive than those in the corresponding covenant in this Agreement at such time unless this Agreement shall have been amended to provide the benefit of such covenant to the Lenders;
provided, that such debt securities may have the benefit of any such additional or more restrictive covenant to the extent it takes effect only after the latest Maturity Date; and (viii) the holders of such debt securities or a trustee
or other representative acting on their behalf shall have entered into a Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement with the Administrative Agent that shall, among other matters, vest primary control over the exercise of remedies against the Collateral in
the Administrative Agent and provide that the Administrative Agent will hold all instruments and certificates representing Collateral (but will act as a gratuitous bailee for the purpose of perfecting the Liens of the holders of such debt securities
or their representative).

(b) The Company and each Subsidiary owns, or is licensed to use, all patents, trademarks, copyrights, licenses, technology, software, domain
names and other intellectual property that is necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted and without conflict with the rights of any other Person, except to the extent any such failure to own or license or conflict,

present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 715) did not, as of the date or dates of the most recent financial statements

other reports, financial statements, certificates or other written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary to the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, when taken as a whole, contains any material misstatement of fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
materially misleading; provided that, with respect to forecasts or projected financial information, the Company and each Borrowing Subsidiary represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon

  
 86 

 
assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time made and at the time so furnished and, if furnished prior to the Restatement Effective Date, as of the Restatement Effective Date (it being

 SECTION 3.14.
Collateral Matters. The Collateral Agreement, upon execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto, will create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a valid and enforceable security interest in
the Pledged Equity Interests, and when the Pledged Equity Interests constituting certified securities (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) are delivered to the Administrative Agent, together with instruments of transfer duly endorsed in
blank, the security interest created under the Collateral Agreement will constitute under the Uniform Commercial Code (to the extent a Lien may be perfected thereunder) a fully perfected security interest in all right, title and interest of the
pledgors thereunder in such Pledged Equity Interests, prior and superior in right to any other Person, other than Permitted Liens arising by operation of law and having priority over the Liens of the Administrative Agent on the Pledged Equity
Interests. 
 SECTION 3.15. Federal Reserve Regulations. None of the Company or any Subsidiary is engaged or will engage principally
or as one of its important activities in the business of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock. No part of the
proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation (including on the part of any Lender) of any of the regulations of the Board of Governors, including Regulations U and X. Not more than 25% of
the value of the assets subject to any restrictions on the sale, pledge or other disposition of assets under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement to which any Lender or Affiliate of a Lender is party will at any time be

ARTICLE VIII 
 The
Administrative Agent 
 Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent
in the heading of this Agreement and its successors to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents, and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America, each
of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby grants to the Administrative Agent any required powers of attorney to execute any Security Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s behalf. 

  
 113 

 The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in
its capacity as a Lender or an Issuing Bank as any other Lender or Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of,
act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without
any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations
except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other
implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) 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, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect
only an administrative relationship between contracting parties), (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall
believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion, could expose the Administrative Agent to
liability or be contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any
information relating to the Company, any Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent
shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it 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 the Administrative Agent shall believe in good
faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a
final and nonappealable judgment). The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the
Company, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document,
(b) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (c) 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, (d) the sufficiency, validity, 

  
 114 

 
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (e) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or
elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for, or be responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by any Borrower or any Lender as a result of, any
such determination of the Revolving Exposure, Designated Currency Revolving Exposure or the component amounts of any of the foregoing or of the Exchange Rate. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, 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 the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof). The Administrative Agent also shall be
entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan
Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof), and may act upon any such statement prior to receipt of written confirmation thereof. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the
issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or
Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal
counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and other experts 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 experts. 

The Administrative Agent may perform any of and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document
by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of and all their duties and exercise their rights and powers through their respective Related Parties.
The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the
credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents selected by it with commercially reasonable care. 

Subject to the terms of this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time from its capacity as such. In connection with such
resignation, the Administrative Agent shall give notice of its intent to resign to the Lenders, the Issuing 

  
 115 

 
Banks and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right (with the consent of the Company, unless an Event of Default under paragraph (a),
(b), (i) or (j) of Article VII shall have occurred and be continuing) to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the
retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (with the consent of the Company, unless an Event of Default under paragraph (a), (b),
(i) or (j) of Article VII shall have occurred and be continuing), appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed by the
Borrowers and such successor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives
notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Company, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such
notice, (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the
Administrative Agent under any Security Document for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and, in the
case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this
paragraph (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action under any Security Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security
interest), and (b) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that (i) all payments required to be made hereunder or
under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (ii) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given
or made to the Administrative Agent shall also directly be given or made to each Lender and each Issuing Bank. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and
Section 9.03, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its
sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in
the proviso under clause (a) above. 

  
 116 

 Each Lender and Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon
the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision
to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of
the foregoing, 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 any related
agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement, or
delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and
each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Restatement Effective Date. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, no Secured Party shall have any right
individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Secured Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Agreement and other Security Documents may be
exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. In the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other
disposition, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but
not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or
any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Loan Document Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties at
such sale or other disposition. 
 In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no Hedging Agreement the obligations under
which constitute Secured Obligations will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under
any Loan Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such Hedging Agreement shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under
the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph. 

  
 117 

 The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its
discretion, to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02(a)(iii), (iv), (v), (ix) or (x). The
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the
Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the
Collateral. 
 In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy,
insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any LC Disbursement shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise
and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC
Exposure and all other Secured 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, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim
under Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect and
receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee,
trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the
Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under
the Loan Documents (including under Section 9.03). 
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Arrangers nor any
Person named on the cover page of this Agreement as a Syndication Agent or a Documentation Agent shall have any duties or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender or an Issuing
Bank), but all such Persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder. 

  
 118 

 The provisions of this Article are for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and
the Issuing Banks, and, except to the extent of (i) the Borrowers’ rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article VIII, (ii) the “acting in concert” provisions set forth in the first
sentence of the eighth paragraph of this Article VIII and (iii) the Lien Subordination provisions set forth herein, neither the Company nor any other Loan Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions. Each
Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Secured Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article.

 119 

 (iv) if to any other Lender, to it at its address (or fax number) set forth in

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any its Related Parties warrants, or shall be deemed to warrant, the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express,
implied or statutory, including 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, or shall be deemed to be made, by the Administrative
Agent or any of its Related Parties in connection with the Communications or the Platform. 
 SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments.
(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank 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 the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Banks 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

  
 120 

 
consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit
shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 

(b) Except as provided in Sections 2.20, 2.21, 2.22, 2.23, 9.02(c) and 9.02(e), none of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any
provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders and,
(ii) in the case of any other Loan Document (other than any waiver, amendment or modification to effectuate any modification thereto expressly contemplated by the terms of such other Loan Document), pursuant to an agreement or agreements in
writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders, provided that (i) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Company and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency so long as, in each case, such amendment does not adversely affect the rights of any
Lender and (ii) no such agreement shall (A) waive any condition set forth in Section 4.02 or 4.03 without the written consent of the Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders (it being understood and agreed that any amendment or
waiver of, or any consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement (other than any waiver expressly relating to Section 4.02 or 4.03) or any other Loan Document, including any amendment of any representation or warranty or affirmative
or negative covenant set forth herein or in any other Loan Document or any waiver of a Default or an Event of Default, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any condition set forth in Section 4.02 or 4.03), (B) increase the Commitment of
any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, it being understood that no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any condition precedent, representation or warranty, covenant, Default, Event of Default,
mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments or Additional Commitments shall constitute an increase of any Commitment or Additional Commitment of such Lender, (C) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or
reduce the rate of interest thereon or reduce any fees payable hereunder (in each case, other than to waive any Default or Event of Default (other than one resulting from a failure to make any payment) or any obligations of the Borrowers to pay
interest at the default rate of interest under Section 2.12(d) or as a result of any change in the definition, or in any components thereof, of the term “Leverage Ratio”), without the written consent of each Lender affected
thereby, (D) postpone the scheduled maturity date of any Loan or the date of any scheduled payment of the principal amount of any Term Loan under Section 2.09, or the required date of reimbursement of any LC Disbursement, or the expiration
date of any Letter of Credit to a date fewer than five days prior to, or on or after, the Revolving Maturity Date (other than any Letter of Credit that has been cash collateralized or back-stopped by a letter of credit in a manner reasonably

  
 121 

 
satisfactory to the relevant Issuing Bank), or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder (in each case, other than any extension for administrative reasons reasonably
agreed to by the Administrative Agent), or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (E) change
Section 2.17(b) or 2.17(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender, (F) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.02(a) or (b) or the
percentage set forth in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or the definition of Majority in Interest, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be); provided that, with the
consent of the Required Lenders, the provisions of this Section and the definition of the term “Required Lenders” may be amended to include references to any new class of loans created under this Agreement (or to lenders extending
such loans) on substantially the same basis as the corresponding references relating to the existing Classes of Loans or Lenders, (G) release substantially all of the value of the Guarantees provided by the Subsidiary Loan Parties (including,
in each case, by limiting liability in respect thereof) created under the Collateral Agreement without the written consent of each Lender (except as expressly provided in Section 9.14 or the Collateral Agreement (including any such release by
the Administrative Agent in connection with any sale or other disposition of any Subsidiary upon the exercise of remedies under the Security Documents), it being understood that an amendment or other modification of the type of obligations
guaranteed under the Collateral Agreement shall not be deemed to be a release or limitation of any Guarantee), or (H) release all or substantially all the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents, without the written consent of each
Lender (except as expressly provided in Section 9.14 or the applicable Security Document (including any such release by the Administrative Agent in connection with any sale or other disposition of the Collateral upon the exercise of remedies
under the Security Documents), it being understood that an amendment or other modification of the type of obligations secured by the Security Documents shall not be deemed to be a release of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents),
provided further that (1) no such agreement shall amend, modify, extend or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or
such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and (2) any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of the Lenders of one or more Classes (but not the Lenders of any
other Class), may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Company and the requisite number or percentage in interest of each affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this
Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be
required of (x) any Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in clause (B), (C) or (D) of clause (ii) of the first proviso of this paragraph and then only in the event such
Defaulting Lender shall be affected by such amendment, waiver or other modification or (y) in the case of any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in clause (ii) of the first proviso of this paragraph, any

  
 122 

 
Lender that receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by, and all other amounts owing to, such Lender or accrued for the account of such Lender under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents at the time such amendment, waiver or other modification becomes effective and whose Commitments terminate by the terms and upon the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or other modification. Any
amendment or modification effected in accordance with this paragraph will be binding on each Borrowing Subsidiary whether or not such Borrowing Subsidiary shall have consented thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or
amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Company (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit any extension of credit from time to time
outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the relevant benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in
any determination of the Required Lenders and Majority in Interest on substantially the same basis as the Lenders prior to such inclusion. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any Secured Party, consent to a
departure by any Loan Party from any covenant of such Loan Party set forth in this Agreement, the Collateral Agreement or in any other Security Document to the extent such departure is consistent with the authority of the Administrative Agent set
forth in the definition of the term “Collateral and Guarantee Requirement”. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no
obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, waivers or other modifications on behalf of such Lender. Any amendment, waiver or other modification effected in accordance with this Section 9.02 shall be binding upon each
Person that is at the time thereof a Lender and each Person that subsequently becomes a Lender. 
 SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity;
Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication
Agents and their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for any of the foregoing (limited, in the case of preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of the Credit Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, to a single counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their Affiliates and such local counsel (limited to a single counsel per jurisdiction) as the Administrative Agent shall deem advisable in connection with the
creation and perfection of security interests in the Collateral on the Effective Date), in connection with the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, including the preparation, negotiation, execution
and delivery of the Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter, as well as the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof
(whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or 

  
 123 

 
any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees,
charges and disbursements of counsel for any of the foregoing, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or
Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. 

(b) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, each Lender and
Issuing Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”), against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and
related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the actual reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other
charges of (w) one counsel to all Indemnitees taken as a whole, (x) solely in the case of any actual or potential conflict of interest, one additional counsel to all affected Indemnitees, taken as a whole, (y) if reasonably necessary,
one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction (which may include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) to all Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and (z) solely in the case of any actual or potential conflict of
interest, one additional local counsel to all affected Indemnitees, taken as a whole), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the
credit facilities provided for herein, the execution and delivery of the Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter (or the Commitment Letter and Fee Letters referred to in the Original Credit Agreement), the execution delivery and administration of this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties to the Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter (or the Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters referred to in the
Original Credit Agreement), this Agreement or the other Loan Documents of their obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions (or the “Transactions”, as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) or any other transactions
contemplated thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such
demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by any Borrower or any Subsidiary, or
any other Environmental Liability related in any way to any Borrower or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any
other theory and whether initiated against or by any party to the Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Affiliate of any of the foregoing or any third party (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 resulted 

  
 124 

 
(x) from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee or a breach of a material agreement in bad faith by such Indemnitee under any Loan Document or (y) from any dispute
not involving an act or omission by the Company or any of its Affiliates and solely among Indemnitees, other than any claims against the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Syndication Agent (or any of their Related Parties) solely in its
capacity as such. All amounts due under this paragraph (b) shall be payable by one or more Borrowers within 30 days (x) after written demand therefor, in the case of any indemnification obligations and (y) in the case of reimbursement
of costs and expenses, after receipt of an invoice setting forth such costs and expenses in reasonable detail, together with backup documentation supporting the relevant reimbursement request. This paragraph shall not apply with respect to Taxes,
other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. 
 (c) To the extent that the Borrowers fail
to pay any amount required to be paid by them under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Issuing Bank or any Related Party of any of the foregoing (and without limiting their
obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees promptly to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank or such Related Party, as the case may be, 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; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or
asserted against the Administrative Agent (or such sub-agent) or such Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or any Issuing Bank in
connection with such capacity; provided further that, with respect to such unpaid amounts owed to any Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or to any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for any Issuing Bank in connection with
such capacity, only the Revolving Lenders shall be required to pay such unpaid amounts. For purposes of this Section, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving Exposures,
unused Revolving Commitments and, except for purposes of the immediately preceding proviso, the outstanding Term Loans and unused Term Commitments, in each case, at the time (or most recently outstanding and in effect). 

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, or permit any of its Affiliates or Related Parties to
assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto and its Related Parties (i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic
or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with or as a
result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided, that nothing in this paragraph shall
affect the indemnification obligations of any Loan Party under paragraph (b) of this Section 9.03 in respect of any damages awarded against any Indemnitee. 

  
 125 

 SECTION 9.04. 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 (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) except as a result of any
merger, consolidation or amalgamation permitted under Section 6.03, no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any
attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this
Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit),
Participants (solely to the extent expressly provided in paragraph (c) of this Section), the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the sub-agents of the Administrative Agent
and the Related Parties of any of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, any Issuing Bank and any Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees 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) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of: 

(A) the Company; provided that no consent of the Company shall be required (1) for an assignment to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, or (2) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, for any other assignment; provided further that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless
it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof; 

(B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment
of any Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and 
 (C) each Issuing Bank, in the case of any
assignment of all or a portion of a Revolving Commitment or any Lender’s obligations in respect of its LC Exposure. 

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the
entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the 

  
 126 

 
Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents. 

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement; provided that this clause (B) shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of
Commitments or Loans; 
 (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided that only one such processing and recordation fee shall be payable in the event of simultaneous assignments from any Lender or its Approved Funds to
one or more other Approved Funds of such Lender; and 
 (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain MNPI) will be made available and who may receive such information in
accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, State and foreign securities laws. 
 (iii)
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section, 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, 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 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 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 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 9.04(c). 
 (iv) The Administrative
Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and records of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment
of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest
error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders 

  
 127 

 
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 the Company and, as to entries pertaining to it, any Issuing Bank or Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(v) Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of an 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) and the processing and recordation fee referred to in this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption
and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to accept such Assignment and Assumption or so record the information contained therein if the Administrative Agent
reasonably believes that such Assignment and Assumption lacks any written consent required by this Section or is otherwise not in proper form, it being acknowledged that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation (and shall incur no
liability) with respect to obtaining (or confirming the receipt) of any such written consent or with respect to the form of (or any defect in) such Assignment and Assumption, any such duty and obligation being solely with the assigning Lender and
the assignee. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph, and following such recording, unless otherwise determined by the Administrative Agent (such
determination to be made in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, which determination may be conditioned on the consent of the assigning Lender and the assignee), shall be effective notwithstanding any defect in the Assignment and
Assumption relating thereto. Each assigning Lender and the assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the Administrative Agent that all written consents required by this Section
with respect thereto (other than the consent of the Administrative Agent) have been obtained and that such Assignment and Assumption is otherwise duly completed and in proper form, and each assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment
and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the assigning Lender and the Administrative Agent that such assignee is an Eligible Assignee. 

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Company, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or
more Eligible Assignees (“Participants”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and Loans of any Class); provided that
(A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Company, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks 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 this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that 

  
 128 

 
such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that directly affects the Loans
and Commitments in which such Participant has an interest that affects such Participant or requires the approval of all the Lenders. Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 (subject to
the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.16(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.16(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if
it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (x) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.17 and 2.18 as if it were an assignee
under paragraph (b) of this Section and (y) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.16, with respect to any participation than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive. Each
Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Company’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.18(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent
permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender. 

(ii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a
register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the
“Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a
Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such
Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender
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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its
capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 (d) 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 or any other central bank, and
this Section 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. 
 SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other 

  
 129 

 
Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance
of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or
any Affiliate of any of the foregoing may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any Loan Document is executed and delivered or any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full
force and effect until the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in the event that, in connection with the refinancing or repayment in full of the
credit facilities provided for herein, an Issuing Bank shall have provided to the Administrative Agent a written consent to the release of the Revolving Lenders from their obligations hereunder with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by such
Issuing Bank (whether as a result of the obligations of the Company (and any other account party) in respect of such Letter of Credit having been collateralized in full by a deposit of cash with such Issuing Bank, or being supported by a letter of
credit that names such Issuing Bank as the beneficiary thereunder, or otherwise), then from and after such time such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” outstanding hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, and the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations in such Letter of Credit, and no obligations with respect thereto, under Section 2.04(d) or 2.04(f). The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16,
2.17(e) and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and
the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 
 SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration;
Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This
Agreement and the other Loan Documents 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,
including the commitments of the Lenders and, if applicable, their Affiliates under the Commitment Letter and any commitment advices submitted by them (but do not supersede any other provisions of the Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter or the
Commitment Letter and Fee Letters referred to in the Original Credit Agreement (or any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank) that do not by the terms of such documents terminate upon
the effectiveness of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of the Commitment Letter providing for the termination of such provisions to the extent covered hereby, all of which shall remain in full force and effect). This Agreement shall become
effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of all 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 imaging shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

  
 130 

 SECTION 9.07. 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
9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and Issuing Bank, and each Affiliate of any of the foregoing, is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) or other amounts at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing
by such Lender or Issuing Bank, or by such an Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any of and all the obligations then due of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or
Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations of such Borrower are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or such Issuing Bank
different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and Issuing Bank, and each Affiliate of any of the foregoing, under this Section are in addition to other rights
and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate may have. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application;
provided that the failure to give notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 
 SECTION 9.09. Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York. 

(b) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of
the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document brought by it or any of
its Affiliates shall be brought, and shall be heard and determined, exclusively in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to
bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or any of its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

  
 131 

 (c) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section.
Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, 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 the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. 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 law. 

SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY
RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).
EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR 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. 

SECTION 9.11. 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 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Related Parties on a “need to know” basis solely in connection with the Transactions, including accountants, legal counsel and
other agents and 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; provided that such Person
shall be responsible for its Related Parties’ compliance with this Section 9.12, (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Affiliates (including any
self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable law or 

  
 132 

 
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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document
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 confidentiality undertakings substantially similar to those of
this Section, 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 or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its Related Parties) to any
swap or derivative transaction relating to the Company or any Subsidiary and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Company or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach
of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the applicable Person on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company or a Subsidiary not known to be bound by any confidentiality agreement. For purposes of this Section,
“Information” means all information received from any Borrower relating to the Company or any Subsidiary or their businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing
Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 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. It is agreed that, notwithstanding the restrictions of any prior confidentiality
agreement binding on any Arranger or the Administrative Agent, such parties may disclose Information as provided in this Section 9.12. 

SECTION 9.13. 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 that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that
may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, 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 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 9.14. Release of Liens and Guarantees. A Subsidiary Loan Party (other
than any Borrower) shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, and all security interests created by the Security Documents in Collateral owned by such Subsidiary Loan Party shall be automatically released, upon
the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Loan Party ceases to be a Subsidiary and upon the occurrence of the Termination Date; provided that, if so required by this Agreement, the
Required Lenders 

  
 133 

 
shall have consented to such transaction and the terms of such consent shall not have provided otherwise. Upon any sale or other transfer by any Loan Party (other than to any Borrower or any
Subsidiary Loan Party or any Subsidiary required to become a Subsidiary Loan Party) of any Collateral in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest created
under any Security Document in any Collateral pursuant to Section 9.02, the security interests in such Collateral created by the Security Documents shall be automatically released. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this
Section, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of
documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 9.15. USA
PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act it is required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance
with such Act. 
 SECTION 9.16. No Fiduciary Relationship. Each Borrower, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, agrees that in
connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, each Borrower, the Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks
and their Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or their Affiliates, and no such
duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications. The Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of
customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrowers and their Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or their Affiliates has any
obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Company or any of its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it or any of its Affiliates may have against the Administrative
Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby. 

SECTION 9.17. Non-Public Information. (a) Each Lender acknowledges that all information, including requests for waivers and
amendments, furnished by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to or in connection with, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain MNPI. Each Lender represents to each
Borrower and the Administrative Agent that (i) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of MNPI and that it will handle MNPI in accordance with such procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state

  
 134 

 
and foreign securities laws, and (ii) it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain MNPI in accordance with its
compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws. 
 (b) Each Borrower and each Lender
acknowledges that, if information furnished by any Borrower pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement is being distributed by the Administrative Agent through the Platform, (i) the Administrative Agent may post any information that any
Borrower has indicated as containing MNPI solely on that portion of the Platform designated for Private Side Lender Representatives and (ii) if any Borrower has not indicated whether any information furnished by it pursuant to or in connection
with this Agreement contains MNPI, such information shall be posted solely on that portion of the Platform designated for Private Side Lender Representatives. Each Borrower, at the request of the Administrative Agent, agrees to specify whether any
information furnished to the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in connection with, the Agreement contains MNPI, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such designation by the Company without liability or responsibility for
the independent verification thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but without limiting the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, the Borrower shall be under no obligation to mark any information as suitable for Public Side Lender
Representatives. 
 SECTION 9.18. Judgment Currency. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary
to convert a sum owing hereunder in dollars into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in
the relevant jurisdiction dollars could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given. 

(b) The obligations of each party hereto in respect of any sum due to any other party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder
(the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than dollars, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the
Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase dollars with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of
dollars so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in dollars, such party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such deficiency. The
obligations of the parties contained in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder. 

SECTION 9.19. Excluded Swap Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Guarantee by
any Subsidiary Loan Party under any Loan Document shall include a Guarantee of any Secured Obligation that, as to such Subsidiary Loan Party, is an Excluded Swap 

  
 135 

 
Obligation, and no Collateral provided by any Subsidiary Loan Party shall secure any Secured Obligation that, as to such Subsidiary Loan Party, is an Excluded Swap Obligation. In the event that
any payment is made pursuant to any Guarantee by, or any amount is realized from Collateral of, any Subsidiary Loan Party as to which any Secured Obligations are Excluded Swap Obligations, such payment or amount shall be applied to pay the Secured
Obligations of such Loan Party as otherwise provided herein and in the other Loan Documents without giving effect to such Excluded Swap Obligations, and each reference in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the ratable application of such
amounts as among the Secured Obligations or any specified portion of the Secured Obligations that would otherwise include such Excluded Swap Obligations shall be deemed so to provide. 

(a) Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or
other support as may be needed from time to time to enable each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of Swap Obligations (subject to the limitations on its Guarantee under the Collateral Agreement).
The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until its Guarantee under the Collateral Agreement is released. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section shall constitute a
“keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 

(b) The following terms shall for purposes of this Section have the meanings set forth below: 

“Commodity Exchange Act” means the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S. C. § et seq.), as amended from time to time, and
any successor statute. 
 “Excluded Swap Obligation” means, with respect to any Subsidiary Loan Party, any Swap Obligation
if, and to the extent that, the Guarantee by such Subsidiary Loan Party of, or the grant by such Subsidiary Loan Party of a security interest to secure, such Swap Obligation (or any Guarantee thereof) is or becomes illegal under the Commodity
Exchange Act or any rule, regulation or order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official interpretation of any thereof) by virtue of such Guarantor’s failure for any reason to constitute an “eligible
contract participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act at the time the Guarantee of such Guarantor becomes effective with respect to such related Swap Obligation. 

“Swap Obligation” means, with respect to any Guarantor, any obligation to pay or perform under any agreement, contract or
transaction that constitutes a “swap” within the meaning of Section 1a(47) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 

“Qualified ECP Guarantor” means, in respect of any Swap Obligation, each Subsidiary Loan Party that has total assets
exceeding $10,000,000 or that otherwise constitutes an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder at the time such Swap Obligation is incurred

  
 136 

 
(including as a result of the agreement in this Section or any other Guarantee or other support agreement in respect of the obligations of such Subsidiary Loan Party by another Person that
constitutes an “eligible contract participant”). 
 SECTION 9.20. Conflicts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or in any other Loan Document, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and control. 

SECTION 9.21. Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreements. (a) Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties
acknowledges that obligations of the Loan Parties under any Permitted Pari Passu Refinancing Securities may be secured by Liens on assets of the Loan Parties that constitute Collateral. Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured
Parties hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, in each case on behalf of such Secured Party and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Secured Party, (i) from time
to time upon the request of the Company, in connection with the issuance of any Permitted Pari Passu Refinancing Securities, any Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement (it being understood that the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and directed
to determine the terms and conditions of any such agreement as contemplated by the definition of the term “Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement”), and (ii) any documents relating thereto.

Secured Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee hereunder and notice of protest for nonpayment.

credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the Company, any Borrowing Subsidiary, any other Loan Party or any other Person. Each Guarantor agrees that its guarantee hereunder is continuing in nature and

termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality
or unenforceability of the Secured Obligations, any impossibility in the performance of the Secured Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or
impaired or otherwise affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise; (ii) any
rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, any Loan Document or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Guarantor under this Agreement; (iii) the release of, or any
impairment of or failure to perfect any Lien on or security interest in, any security held by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for any of the Secured Obligations; (iv) any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in
the performance of any of the Secured Obligations; or (v) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or
equity (other than, subject to Section 2.04, the payment in full in cash of all the Secured Obligations to the extent necessary to cause the Termination Date to occur). Each Guarantor expressly authorizes the Secured Parties to take and hold
security for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in
their sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Secured Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder. 

  
 4 

 (b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any
defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Company, any Borrowing Subsidiary or any other Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability
of the Company, any Borrowing Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, other than, subject to Section 2.04, the payment in full in cash of all the Secured Obligations to the extent necessary to cause the Termination Date to occur. The Administrative
Agent and the other Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust
any part of the Secured Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Company, any Borrowing Subsidiary or any other Loan Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the Company, any Borrowing Subsidiary or any other
Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent, subject to Section 2.04, the Secured Obligations have been paid in full in cash to the extent necessary to cause the
Termination Date to occur. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of
reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Company, any Borrowing Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security. 

SECTION 2.04. Reinstatement. Each Guarantor agrees that its guarantee hereunder shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Secured Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution,
liquidation or reorganization of the Company, any Borrowing Subsidiary or any other Loan Party or otherwise. 
 SECTION 2.05.
Agreement to Pay; Subrogation. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure
of the Company, any Borrowing Subsidiary or any other Loan Party to pay any Secured Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to
and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the applicable Secured Parties in cash the amount of such unpaid Secured Obligation. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent
as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against the Company, any Borrowing Subsidiary or any other Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all
respects be subject to Article V. 
 SECTION 2.06. Information. Each Guarantor (a) assumes all
responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Company’s, each Borrowing Subsidiary’s and each other Loan Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the
Secured Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and (b) agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise such Guarantor of
information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks. 
 SECTION 2.07. Keepwell. Each
Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such 

  
 5 

 
funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor that would otherwise not be an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act
and the regulations thereunder to honor all of its obligations under this Agreement in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 2.07 for the maximum amount of such
liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 2.07 or otherwise under this Agreement voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater
amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 2.07 shall remain in full force and effect until, subject to Section 2.04, the payment in full in cash of all the Secured Obligations to the extent necessary to
cause the Termination Date to occur. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 2.07 constitute, and this Section 2.07 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each
other Loan Party for all purposes of Section la(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 
 ARTICLE III 

Pledge of Securities 

SECTION 3.01. Pledge. As security for the payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations, each Grantor
hereby assigns, pledges and grants to the Administrative Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in all such Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under: (a)(i) the Equity
Interests now or at any time hereafter owned by or on behalf of such Grantor, including those set forth opposite the name of such Grantor on Schedule II and (ii) all certificates and other instruments representing all such Equity Interests
(the items referred to in (i) and (ii) being collectively called the “Pledged Equity Interests”); provided that (A) the Grantors shall not be required to pledge voting Equity Interests in any first-tier CFC in
excess of the amount of such Equity Interests constituting 65% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Equity Interests entitled to vote, and (B) no Subsidiary shall be required to pledge any Equity Interests (or any other assets)
owned by a CFC; (b) all other property of such Grantor that may be delivered to and held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.01 or Section 3.02; (c) subject to Section 3.05, all payments of
dividends or other distributions, whether paid or payable in cash, instruments or other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, in exchange for or upon the conversion of, and all other Proceeds
received in respect of, the Pledged Equity Interests; (d) subject to Section 3.05, all rights and privileges of such Grantor with respect to the securities, instruments and other property referred to in clauses (a), (b) and
(c) above; and (e) all Proceeds of any of the foregoing (the items referred to in clauses (a) through (e) above being collectively referred to as the “Pledged Collateral”). 

SECTION 3.02. Delivery of the Pledged Securities. (a) Each Grantor agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered to
the Administrative Agent any and all Pledged Securities (other than Pledged Securities that are publicly traded securities subject to a depositary such as DTC, or otherwise held through a securities intermediary) (x) on the date hereof, in the
case of any such Pledged Securities owned by such Grantor on the date hereof, and (y) promptly after the acquisition thereof (and in any event as 

  
 6 

 
required under the Credit Agreement), in the case of any such Pledged Securities acquired by such Grantor after the date hereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that (i) if any interest
in any limited liability company or limited partnership at any time owned by such Grantor (or by such Grantor and one or more other Loan Parties) and pledged hereunder is a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the New York UCC and
is governed by Article 8 of the New York UCC, such interest shall be certificated and the certificate representing such interest shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 3.02(a), and (ii) if any
interest in any limited liability company or limited partnership at any time owned by such Grantor (or by such Grantor and one or more other Loan Parties) and pledged hereunder is not a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the New
York UCC, such Grantor shall not cause or permit such interest to be a security governed by Article 8 of the New York UCC or to be represented by a certificate unless such Grantor shall first notify the Administrative Agent and deliver such
certificate to the Administrative Agent in accordance with clause (i) of this Section 3.02(a). 
 (b) Upon
delivery to the Administrative Agent, (i) any Pledged Securities shall be accompanied by undated stock powers duly executed by the applicable Grantor in blank or other undated instruments of transfer reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and such other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (ii) all other property comprising part of the Pledged Collateral shall be accompanied by undated proper instruments of
assignment duly executed by the applicable Grantor in blank and such other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. Each delivery of Pledged Securities after the date hereof shall be accompanied by a schedule
providing the information required by Schedule II with respect to such Pledged Securities; provided that failure to attach any such schedule hereto shall not affect the validity of the pledge of such Pledged Securities. Each schedule so
delivered after the date hereof shall be deemed attached hereto and made a part hereof as a supplement to Schedule II and any prior schedules so delivered. 

SECTION 3.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Grantors jointly and severally represent and warrant to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, that: 
 (a) Schedule II sets forth, as of the date hereof, a
true and complete list, with respect to each Grantor, of all the Pledged Equity Interests owned by such Grantor and the percentage of the issued and outstanding units of each class of the Equity Interests of the issuer thereof represented by the
Pledged Equity Interests owned by such Grantor (other than any Pledged Equity Interests that are not yet required to have been delivered to the Administrative Agent under the terms of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement); 

(b) the Pledged Equity Interests have been duly and validly authorized and issued by the issuers thereof and are fully paid and
nonassessable; 
 (c) except for the security interests granted hereunder, each of the Grantors (i) is and, subject to
any transfers made in compliance with the Credit Agreement, will continue to be the direct owner, beneficially and of record, of the Pledged Equity Interests indicated on Schedule II as owned by such Grantor, (ii) holds the Pledged Collateral
owned by it free and clear of all Liens, other than Liens created by the Security Documents and Liens permitted to exist thereon under Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement, (iii) will make no assignment, pledge, hypothecation or transfer
of, or create or permit to exist any security interest in or other Lien on, the Pledged Collateral, other than Liens created by the Security Documents, Liens permitted to exist thereon under Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement and transfers
made in compliance with the Credit Agreement, and (iv) will defend its title or interest thereto or therein against any and all Liens (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents and Liens permitted to exist thereon under
Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement), however arising, of all Persons whomsoever; 

  
 7 

 (d) each of the Grantors has the power and authority to pledge the Pledged
Collateral pledged by it hereunder in the manner hereby done or contemplated; 
 (e) subject to applicable local laws in the
case of Equity Interests in any Foreign Subsidiary, by virtue of the execution and delivery by the Grantors of this Agreement, when any Pledged Securities are delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent will obtain a legal, valid and perfected lien upon and security interest in such Pledged Securities as security for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations and such lien is and shall be prior to any other Lien on
such Pledged Securities, other than Liens permitted under Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement that have priority as a matter of law or are expressly contemplated under Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement to have priority; and 

(f) subject to applicable local law in the case of any Equity Interests in any Foreign Subsidiary, the pledge effected hereby
is effective to vest in the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the rights of the Administrative Agent in the Pledged Collateral as set forth herein and all action by any Grantor necessary or desirable to protect and
perfect the lien on the Pledged Collateral has been duly taken. 
 SECTION 3.04. Registration in Nominee Name;
Denominations. Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the right, following written notice from the Administrative Agent to the applicable Grantor, to hold
the Pledged Securities in its own name as pledgee, in the name of its nominee (as pledgee or as sub-agent) or in the name of the applicable Grantor, endorsed or assigned in blank or in favor of the Administrative Agent. Upon and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor will promptly give to the Administrative Agent copies of any notices or other communications received by it with respect to Pledged Securities registered in the name of such Grantor. Upon and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to exchange the certificates representing Pledged Securities for certificates of smaller or larger denominations for any purpose consistent with this Agreement.

 SECTION 3.05. Voting Rights; Dividends and Interest. (a) Unless and until an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing and, other than in the case of an Event of Default under paragraph (i) or (j) of Article VII of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Grantors that the Grantors rights, in
whole or in part, under this Section 3.05 are being suspended: 
 (i) each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and
all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such rights and
powers shall not be exercised in any manner that could reasonably be expected materially and adversely to affect the rights and remedies of any of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
(taken as a whole) or the ability of the Secured Parties to exercise the same; 
 (ii) the Administrative Agent shall execute
and deliver to each Grantor, or cause to be executed and delivered to such Grantor, all such proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as such Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting
and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(i); and 

  
 8 

 (iii) each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends
and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the Pledged Collateral, but only to the extent that such dividends and other distributions are permitted by, and are otherwise paid or distributed in accordance with, the terms and
conditions of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable law; provided that any noncash dividends or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Equity Interests, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or
reclassification of the outstanding Equity Interests of the issuer of any Pledged Securities or received in exchange for Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or
other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral and, if received by any Grantor, and required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent hereunder, shall be held in trust
for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and shall be forthwith delivered to the Administrative Agent in the form in which they shall have been received (with any endorsements, stock or note powers and other
instruments of transfer requested by the Administrative Agent). 
 (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, and, other than in the case of an Event of Default under paragraph (i) or (j) of Article VII of the Credit Agreement, after the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Grantors of the suspension of the
Grantor’s rights under Section 3.05(a)(iii), all rights of any Grantor to dividends or other distributions that such Grantor is authorized to receive pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(iii), shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon
become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends or other distributions. All dividends and other distributions received by any Grantor contrary to the
provisions of this Section 3.05 shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith delivered to the
Administrative Agent upon demand in the form in which they shall have been received (with any necessary endorsements, stock powers or other instruments of transfer). Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Administrative
Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.05(b) shall be retained by the Administrative Agent in an account to be established by the Administrative Agent upon receipt of such money or other property, shall be held as security for the
payment and performance of the Secured Obligations and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived and the Administrative Agent has received from the Company
satisfactory evidence relating to any such cure, the Administrative Agent shall promptly repay to each Grantor (without interest) all dividends or other distributions that such Grantor would otherwise have been permitted to retain pursuant to the
terms of Section 3.05(a)(iii) and that remain in such account. 
 (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, and, other than in the case of an Event of Default under paragraph (i) or (j) of Article VII of the Credit Agreement, upon three Business Days notice from the Administrative Agent to the Grantors of the suspension
of the Grantors’ rights under Section 3.05(a)(i), all rights of any Grantor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(i), and the obligations of the Administrative
Agent under Section 3.05(a)(ii), shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers;
provided that, unless otherwise directed by the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Grantors to exercise such rights. 

(d) Any notice given by the Administrative Agent to the Grantors suspending the Grantors’ rights under
Section 3.05(a): (i) may be given by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing, (ii) may be given to one or more of the Grantors at the same or different times and (iii) may suspend the rights and powers of the Grantors under
Section 3.05(a)(i) or Section 3.05(a)(iii) in part without suspending all such rights or powers (as specified by the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion) and without waiving or otherwise affecting the Administrative
Agent’s right to give additional notices from time to time suspending other rights and powers so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 ARTICLE IV 

Remedies 
 SECTION
4.01. Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor agrees to deliver, on demand, each item of Pledged Collateral to the Administrative Agent or any Person designated by the
Administrative Agent and it is agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have the right with or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the
New York UCC or other applicable law. Each Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a
public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate. Each such purchaser at any sale of Pledged Collateral shall hold the
property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal that such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future
have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. 
 The Administrative Agent shall give the
applicable Grantors 10 days’ prior written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other
jurisdictions) of the Administrative Agent’s intention to make any sale of Pledged Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a
securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Pledged Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at
such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Administrative Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Pledged Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in
one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Administrative Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Pledged Collateral if it shall determine not to
do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Pledged Collateral shall have been given. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time
by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral is made on credit or for
future delivery, the Pledged Collateral so sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall not incur any liability
in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Pledged Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Pledged Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. In the event of a foreclosure by the
Administrative Agent on any of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Pledged Collateral at any such sale or
other disposition, and the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required
Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the
Loan Document Obligations as a credit 

  
 10 

 
on account of the purchase price for any Pledged Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties at such sale or other disposition. For purposes hereof, a written
agreement to purchase the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; in accordance with Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions, the Administrative Agent shall be
free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Administrative Agent shall have entered
into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Administrative Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at
law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to conform to commercially reasonable standards as provided in
Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions. 

SECTION 4.02. Application of Proceeds. The Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection, sale,
foreclosure or other realization upon any Pledged Collateral, including any Pledged Collateral consisting of cash, as follows: 

FIRST, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with such collection, sale,
foreclosure or realization or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances
made by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of any Grantor and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document, in each
case subject to the limitations set forth in the Credit Agreement; 
 SECOND, to the payment in full of the Secured
Obligations (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the Secured Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution); and 

THIRD, to the Grantors, their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. 

The Administrative Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance
with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Pledged Collateral by the Administrative Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Administrative Agent or of the officer making the sale
shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Pledged Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Administrative
Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. The Grantors shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Pledged Collateral are insufficient to pay all Secured
Obligations, including any attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender to collect such deficiency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the proceeds of any collection, sale, foreclosure or realization upon any
Pledged Collateral of any Grantor, including any collateral consisting of cash, shall not be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Grantor and shall instead be applied to other secured obligations. 

  
 11 

 SECTION 4.03. Securities Act. In view of the position of the Grantors in
relation to the Pledged Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act of 1933 as now or hereafter in effect or any similar statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect
(such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the “Federal Securities Laws”) with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Collateral permitted hereunder. Each Grantor understands that
compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might also limit the
extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Administrative Agent in any attempt to dispose of all
or part of the Pledged Collateral under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Each Grantor recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations the Administrative Agent may, with
respect to any sale of the Pledged Collateral, and shall be authorized to, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Collateral for their own account for investment, and not with a view to the
distribution or resale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale may assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Pledged Collateral so sold. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions
and limitations, the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof shall have been
filed under the Federal Securities Laws or, to the extent applicable, Blue Sky or other state securities laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a limited number of potential purchasers (including a single potential purchaser) to effect
such sale. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Administrative
Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a price that the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances,
notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a limited number of potential purchasers (or a single purchaser) were
approached. The provisions of this Section 4.03 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Administrative Agent sells. 

ARTICLE V 
 Indemnity,
Subrogation, Contribution and Subordination 
 SECTION 5.01. Indemnity and Subrogation. In addition to all such rights
of indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject 

  
 12 

 
to Section 5.03), each of the Company and each Subsidiary Loan Party that is a Borrowing Subsidiary agrees that (a) in the event a payment in respect of any Secured Obligation of the
Company or such Subsidiary Loan Party, as the case may be, shall be made by any Guarantor (other than the Company, if such Secured Obligation is an obligation of the Company, or such Borrowing Subsidiary, if such Secured Obligation is of such
Borrowing Subsidiary) under this Agreement, the Company or such Borrowing Subsidiary, as applicable, shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such
payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (b) in the event any assets of any Grantor shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any other Security Document to satisfy in whole or in part any Secured Obligation of the
Company or such Subsidiary Loan Party, the Company (if such Secured Obligation is an obligation of the Company), or such Borrowing Subsidiary (if such Secured Obligation is an obligation of such Borrowing Subsidiary), shall indemnify such Grantor in
an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold. 
 SECTION 5.02.
Contribution and Subrogation. Each Guarantor and Grantor (each such Guarantor or Grantor, other than, in the case of any payment referred to in this sentence in respect of any Secured Obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary Loan Party
that is a Borrowing Subsidiary, the Company or such Subsidiary Loan Party, as applicable, being referred to as a “Contributing Party”) agrees (subject to Section 5.03) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other
Guarantor hereunder in respect of any Secured Obligation (other than any such payment made by the Company or any such payment made by any Subsidiary Loan Party that is Borrowing Subsidiary in respect of its own Secured Obligations) or assets of any
other Grantor shall be sold pursuant to any Security Document to satisfy any Secured Obligation (other than any assets of the Company or of any Subsidiary Loan Party that is Borrowing Subsidiary sold to satisfy its own Secured Obligations) and such
other Guarantor or Grantor (the “Claiming Party”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the Company or the applicable Subsidiary Loan Party, as applicable, as provided in Section 5.01, such Contributing Party shall indemnify
the Claiming Party in an amount equal to the amount of such payment or the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets (the “Indemnified Amount”), as the case may be, in each case multiplied by a fraction of
which the numerator shall be the net worth of such Contributing Party on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Contributing Parties on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Contributing Party becoming a
party hereto pursuant to Section 6.13, the date of the supplement hereto executed and delivered by such Contributing Party). Any Contributing Party making any payment to a Claiming Party pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall (subject to
Section 5.03) be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party under Section 5.01 to the extent of such payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Claiming Party’s right to indemnification hereunder arises from a
payment or sale of Pledged Collateral made to satisfy Secured Obligations constituting Swap Obligations, only those Contributing Parties for whom such Swap Obligations do not constitute Excluded Swap Obligations shall indemnify such Claiming Party,
with the fraction set forth in the second preceding sentence being modified as appropriate to provide for indemnification of the entire Indemnified Amount. 

  
 13 

 SECTION 5.03. Subordination. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Guarantors and Grantors under Sections 5.01 and 5.02 and all other rights of the Guarantors and Grantors of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be
fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations to the extent necessary to cause, subject to Section 2.04, the Termination Date to occur. No failure on the part of the Company or any other Guarantor or Grantor to
make the payments required by Sections 5.01 and 5.02 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor or Grantor with respect to its obligations
hereunder, and each Guarantor and Grantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Guarantor or Grantor hereunder. 

(b) Each Guarantor and Grantor hereby agrees that all Indebtedness and other monetary obligations owed by it to, or to it by,
any other Guarantor, Grantor or any other Subsidiary shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations to the extent necessary to cause, subject to Section 2.04, the Termination Date to occur. 

ARTICLE VI 
 Miscellaneous 

SECTION 6.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein)
be in writing and given in the manner provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Subsidiary Loan Party (other than the Company) shall be given to it in care of the Company in the manner
provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 6.02. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or
delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank 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 the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks 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 this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom
shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 6.02, 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 execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of a Loan or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of
whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances. 
 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified
except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in
accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement; 

  
 14 

 
provided that the Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any Secured Party, consent to a departure by any Loan Party from any covenant of such Loan Party set forth herein or in
any other Security Document to the extent such departure is not inconsistent with the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement or with any other limitation on the authority of the Administrative Agent set forth in the Credit Agreement. 

(c) This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Loan Party and may be amended, modified,
supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Loan Party without the approval of any other Loan Party and without affecting the obligations of any other Loan Party hereunder. 

SECTION 6.03. The Administrative Agent; Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Guarantors and the Grantors
jointly and severally agree (a) to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its fees and expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 9.03(a) of the Credit Agreement as if each reference therein to the Borrowers were a reference to the
Guarantors and Grantors, (b) to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee as provided in Section 9.03(b) of the Credit Agreement as if each reference to the Borrowers therein were a reference to the Guarantors and Grantors, (a) that
any amounts payable under this Section shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents and shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor and (d) that the provisions of Section 9.03(d) of
the Credit Agreement shall apply to each Guarantor and Grantor to the same extent as to the Company and the other Borrowers. 

(b) BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE GUARANTEES AND SECURITY INTERESTS CREATED HEREBY, EACH SECURED PARTY
ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE VIII OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND AGREES TO BE BOUND BY SUCH PROVISIONS AS FULLY AS IF THEY WERE SET FORTH HEREIN. 

SECTION 6.04. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan
Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders and the
Issuing Banks and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any
Arranger, any Issuing Bank or any other Person and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank or any other Person may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty
at the time any Loan Document is executed and delivered or any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date has occurred. The provisions of Section 6.03 shall survive and
remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit (other than any Letter of Credit collateralized
with cash in a manner agreed to by the applicable Issuing Bank) and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

  
 15 

 SECTION 6.05. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Successors and Assigns. This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement shall become
effective as to any Loan Party when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Loan Party shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and
thereafter shall be binding upon such Loan Party and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective
successors and assigns, except that no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Pledged Collateral (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Loan Party shall be
null and void), except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 6.06. 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 6.07. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and Issuing
Bank, and each Affiliate of any of the foregoing, is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional
or final, in whatever currency) or other amounts at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or Issuing Bank, or by such an Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against
any of and all the obligations then due of such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender or Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Issuing Bank shall have made any
demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Loan Parties are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or such Issuing Bank different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such
deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and Issuing Bank, and each Affiliate of any of the foregoing, under this Section 6.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such
Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate may have. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give notice shall not affect the
validity of such setoff and application. 

  
 16 

 SECTION 6.08. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York. 
 (b)
Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern
District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the Loan Parties
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document brought by it or any of its Affiliates shall be brought, and shall be heard and determined, exclusively in such
New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or
in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or any of its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

(c) Each of the Loan Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any
objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 6.08.
Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

(d) Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 6.01.
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 law. 

SECTION 6.09. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR 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 6.09. 

SECTION 6.10. 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. 

  
 17 

 SECTION 6.11. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Administrative
Agent hereunder, the grant of the security interest in the Pledged Collateral and all obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit
Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other
term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment to or waiver of, or any consent to any departure from, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other
agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral securing, or any release or amendment to or waiver of, or any consent to any departure from, any guarantee of,
all or any of the Secured Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement. 

SECTION 6.12. Termination or Release. (a) The Guarantees made herein and the security interests granted hereby
shall terminate and be released (in whole or in part) at the time or times and in the manner set forth in Section 9.14 of the Credit Agreement. In the event of any such termination or release, Schedule II to this Agreement shall be deemed to be
modified to remove the Pledged Collateral with respect to which the security interests granted hereby have been so released. 

(b) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 6.12, the Administrative Agent shall execute
and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
this Section 6.12 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 6.13. Additional
Subsidiaries. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, certain Subsidiaries not party hereto on the Effective Date may be required to enter in this Agreement. Upon the execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent and any such Subsidiary of a
Supplement, such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Loan Party, a Guarantor and a Grantor hereunder, with the same force and effect as if originally named as such herein. The execution and delivery of any Supplement shall not require the consent
of any other Loan Party. The rights and obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Subsidiary Loan Party as a party to this Agreement. 

SECTION 6.14. Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent the
attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary to accomplish the purposes hereof, which
appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with full power of
substitution either in the Administrative Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, 

  
 18 

 
acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for
and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Pledged Collateral; (c) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all
or any of the Pledged Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Pledged Collateral; (d) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Pledged Collateral; and
(e) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Pledged Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and
completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner of the Pledged Collateral for all purposes; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Administrative Agent to make any
commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Administrative Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof or the
moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them
herein, and neither they nor their Related Parties shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
final and non-appealable judgment).

 Exhibit I to the 

Guarantee and 
 Collateral Agreement

 SUPPLEMENT NO.      dated as of
[                    ] (this “Supplement”), to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement dated as of
[            ], 2014 (the “Collateral Agreement”), among Knowles Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), each subsidiary of the Company
listed on Schedule I thereto, as amended (each such subsidiary individually a “Subsidiary Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”; the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Company are referred to
collectively herein as the “Grantors”) and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., a national banking association (“JPMCB”), as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”). 

A. Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of [            ], 2014
(as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the Borrowing Subsidiaries, the Lenders and JPMCB, as Administrative Agent. 

B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Collateral Agreement
and the Credit Agreement referred to therein, as applicable. 
 C. The Guarantors and Grantors have entered into the Collateral Agreement in
order to induce the Lenders and the Issuing Banks to make extensions of credit to the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement. Section 6.13 of the Collateral Agreement provides that additional Subsidiaries may become Subsidiary Parties under the
Collateral Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Subsidiary (the “New Subsidiary”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit
Agreement to become a Subsidiary Loan Party under the Collateral Agreement in order to induce the Lenders and the Issuing Banks to make additional extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement and as consideration for such extensions of credit
previously made. 
 Accordingly, the Administrative Agent and the New Subsidiary agree as follows: 

SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 6.13 of the Collateral Agreement, the New Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a Loan Party, a
Subsidiary Loan Party, a Guarantor and a Grantor under the Collateral Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as such, and the New Subsidiary hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Collateral
Agreement applicable to it in such capacities and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it in such capacities thereunder are true and correct, in all material respects, on and as of the date hereof. In
furtherance of the foregoing, the New Subsidiary, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Collateral Agreement), does hereby create and grant to the Administrative Agent, its successors and
permitted assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors and permitted assigns, a security interest in and lien on all of the New Subsidiary’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Pledged Collateral (as defined in
the Collateral Agreement) of the New Subsidiary. Each reference to a “Loan Party,” “Subsidiary Loan Party,” “Guarantor” or “Grantor” in the Collateral Agreement shall be deemed to
include the New Subsidiary. The Collateral Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference. 
 SECTION 2. The New Subsidiary represents
and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 

SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of the New Subsidiary shall have been delivered to the
Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Supplement by facsimile or other electronic imaging shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Supplement. 
 SECTION 4. The New Subsidiary hereby represents and warrants that
(a) Schedule I sets forth, as of the date hereof, the true and correct legal name of the New Subsidiary, its jurisdiction of organization 

 
and the location of its chief executive office; and (b) Schedule II sets forth, as of the date hereof, a true and complete list of all the Pledged Equity Interests owned by the New
Subsidiary and the percentage of the issued and outstanding units of each class of the Equity Interests of the issuer thereof represented by the Pledged Equity Interests owned by the New Subsidiary. 

SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Collateral Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 

SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

SECTION 7. Any provision of this Supplement 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 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and
given as provided in Section 6.01 of the Collateral Agreement. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Subsidiary and the Administrative Agent
have duly executed this Supplement to the Collateral Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

Knowles has requested that the Credit Agreement dated as of January 27, 2014 (the “Credit Agreement”), among Knowles,
the Lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, be amended and restated as of December 31, 2014 (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have
the meanings assigned to them in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. 
 Each of the Subsidiaries named below (each a

Restated Credit Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated thereby. 
 In consideration of the premises and the agreements herein contained, the parties hereto hereby
agree as follows: 
 SECTION 1. Reaffirmation. Each of the Reaffirming Parties acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement. Each of the Reaffirming Parties consents to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and confirms and agrees that its guarantee under the Collateral Agreement and the security interests granted by it under the Security
Documents shall continue in full force and effect following the effectiveness of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as a guarantee of and security interests securing the Secured Obligations, as such Secured Obligations shall have been
modified by the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 2. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 SECTION 3. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of
this Agreement by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their
respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
