 THE BORROWING FACILITY 
  
 SECTION 2.01. The Borrowing Facility. Each Bank severally agrees, on the terms and conditions provided herein, to make Advances denominated in
Agreed Currencies to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof to the Facility Termination Date in an aggregate Euro Amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Bank’s
Commitment (the “Borrowing Facility”). Subject to Section 3.01, each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount not less than 10,000,000 Euro (and in integral multiples of 5,000,000 Euro in excess thereof) (or the Approximate
Equivalent Amounts if such Advances are denominated in Agreed Currencies other than Euro), shall be made on the same day from the Banks ratably according to their respective Commitments. Within the limits of each Bank’s Commitment, the Borrower
may borrow Advances under this Section 2.01, maintain Advances outstanding by Converting such Advances pursuant to Section 2.03, or prepay Advances pursuant to Section 3.12, and reborrow Advances under this Section 2.01.
The Aggregate Commitments to lend hereunder shall expire on the Facility Termination Date. 
  

 9 

 SECTION 2.02. Making the Advances. Each Borrowing shall be requested by telephone (to be confirmed
immediately in writing), telecopier or telex notice given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (London time) three Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date. Each notice of Borrowing pursuant to this
Section 2.02 (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.02 hereto, specifying the proposed Borrowing Date, aggregate amount of the proposed Borrowing and the Interest Period and Agreed
Currency applicable thereto for each such Advance, and shall include such information as shall be required by Section 6.01(h). If no currency is specified with respect to any requested Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected Euro. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall in turn promptly notify
each Bank by telecopier of the date, applicable interest rate, applicable Agreed Currency and aggregate amount of such Borrowing and such Bank’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. Each Bank, for the account of its Lending Office, shall with
respect to a Borrowing, before 12:00 Noon (London time) on the Borrowing Date specified in the notice received from the Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence, deposit such Bank’s ratable portion of such Borrowing in such funds
as then may be customary for the settlement of transactions in such Agreed Currency to the Administrative Agent in accordance with those instructions stipulated on any given drawdown request by the Administrative Agent. After the Administrative
Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, the Administrative Agent shall make same day funds in the amount of such funds available to the Borrower within 30 minutes of demand
(which may be by telephone) by the Borrower, at the Administrative Agent’s address provided in Section 9.02. 
  
 SECTION 2.03. Method of Electing Interest Periods. (a) The Advances included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the Eurocurrency
Rate as specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the Interest Period for each Borrowing (subject in each case to the provisions of Article
III), in each case effective on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Advances. In no event shall the Borrower have the option to convert the Agreed Currency in which a Borrowing is denominated to another Agreed
Currency; provided, that the Borrower may repay such Borrowing and reborrow in another Agreed Currency in accordance with this Agreement. 
  
 Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a “Notice of Interest Period Election”) to the Administrative Agent by not later than 10:00 a.m.
(London time) at least three Business Days before the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective. If the Borrower shall fail to issue a Notice of Interest Period Election within three Business Days prior to the end of any
Interest Period (unless the Borrower shall have issued a notice of prepayment in respect of the applicable Borrowing in accordance with Section 5.12), the Advances comprising such Borrowing shall be continued as an Advance in the same Agreed
Currency with an Interest Period of one month. A Notice of Interest Period Election may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Borrowing; provided that (i) such portion is allocated
ratably among the Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) the portion to which such Notice of Interest Period Election applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each 10,000,000 Euro or any larger multiple of 5,000,000
Euro (or the 

  

 10 

 
Approximate Equivalent Amounts if such Advances are denominated in Agreed Currencies other than in Euro). 
  
 (b) Each Notice of Interest Period Election shall be substantially in the
form of Exhibit 2.03 hereto and shall specify: 
  
 (i) the Borrowing (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies; 
  
 (ii) the date on which the continuation selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with subsection (a) above; and 
  
 (iii) the duration of the new Interest Period. 
  
 Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Period Election shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest
Period. Each Notice of Interest Period Election shall be irrevocable when given by the Borrower. 
  
 (c) Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Period Election from the Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Bank of the contents thereof. 
  
 SECTION 2.04.
Determination of Euro Amount; Required Payments; Termination. (a) The Administrative Agent will determine the Euro Amount of: 
  
 (i) each Advance as of the date three Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date or, if applicable, date of conversion/continuation of such
Advance, and 
  
 (ii) each Borrowing as of the
first day of each Interest Period and on any other Business Day elected by the Administrative Agent in its discretion or upon instruction by the Majority Banks. 
  

Each day upon or as of which the Administrative Agent determines the Euro Amount as described in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) is herein described as a
“Computation Date” with respect to each Advance for which a Euro Amount is determined on or as of such day. If at any time the Euro Amount of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Advances (calculated, with respect
to those Advances denominated in an Agreed Currency other than Euro, as of the most recent Computation Date with respect to each such Advance) exceeds 105% of the Aggregate Commitments, the Borrower shall immediately repay Advances in an aggregate
principal amount sufficient to cause the remaining outstanding Advances to equal the Aggregate Commitments. 
  
 (b) Any outstanding Advances and all other unpaid amounts due and payable hereunder shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the Facility Termination
Date. 
  

 11 

  
 ARTICLE III 
  
 GENERAL TERMS 
  
 SECTION 3.01. Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. The obligation of each Bank to extend an Advance on the date
therefor is subject to the following: 
  
 (a) If, with respect to
Borrowings to consist of Advances denominated in any Agreed Currency (i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that by reason of circumstances affecting generally
the London interbank market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to the Advances in such Agreed Currency or (ii) by the Business Day before the first day of any Interest Period in respect of a
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Banks that deposits in the applicable Agreed Currency are not available to such Banks (as conclusively certified in writing to the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower) in the ordinary course of business in the London interbank market in sufficient amounts to make its Advances, then, in each case, the Administrative Agent shall by 12:00 Noon (London time) on such Business Day notify the Borrower of such
event, and the right of the Borrower to select Advances in such Agreed Currency for such Borrowing or any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Banks that the circumstances causing
such suspension no longer exist. The obligation of the Banks to make Advances in connection with such Notice of Borrowing shall thereupon terminate and such Notice of Borrowing will be ineffective. In the case of an outstanding Notice of Interest
Period Election at the time any such suspension shall occur, such Notice shall become ineffective. 
  
 (b) If the Majority Banks shall, by 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Business Day before the first day of any Interest Period in respect of a Borrowing to
consist of Advances denominated in an Agreed Currency, notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (setting forth in writing the reasons therefor) that the Eurocurrency Rate for Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Banks of
making or funding their respective Advances for such Borrowing or Conversion, the right of the Borrower to select Advances in such Agreed Currency for such Borrowing or Conversion and any subsequent Borrowing or Conversion shall be suspended until
the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Banks that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. The obligation of the Banks to make Advances in connection with such Notice of Borrowing shall thereupon terminate and
such Notice of Borrowing will be ineffective. In the case of an outstanding Notice of Interest Period Election at the time any such suspension shall occur, such Notice shall become ineffective. 
  
 SECTION 3.02. Effect of Notice of Borrowing; Maximum Number of
Borrowings. (a) Subject to Section 3.01, each Notice of Borrowing and Notice of Interest Period Election shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the event that a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Interest Period Election is
made by telephone and the written confirmation thereof differs in any respect from such telephone notice, the information contained in the telephone notice or the written confirmation, as the case may be, upon which the Administrative Agent shall
have relied, as evidenced by its corresponding notice to the Banks, shall control for purposes of Advances to be made or Converted under this Agreement. 
  

 12 

 (b) A Notice of Borrowing shall be rejected by the Administrative Agent, and the Banks shall have no
obligation to extend any Advances that may be requested in such Notice of Borrowing, if after giving effect to the Borrowing requested in such Notice of Borrowing there would then be more than ten Borrowings outstanding. 
  
 SECTION 3.03. Effect of Failure to Borrow or Fund. (a) The Borrower
shall indemnify each Bank against all direct out-of-pocket losses and reasonable expenses incurred by such Bank as a result of any failure by the Borrower to fulfill on or before the date specified for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set
forth in Article IV to the extent of all direct out-of-pocket losses and reasonable expenses incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Bank to fund the Advance to be made by such Bank as
part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date. The Borrower shall not be liable to any Bank under this Section 3.03(a) with respect to consequential damages arising or incurred by such Bank in
connection with the Borrower’s failure to fulfill timely the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV. 
  
 (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to
the Administrative Agent such Bank’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with the terms of
Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made such ratable portion available to
the Administrative Agent, such Bank and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the
Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Bank, at an interest rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry practices on interbank compensation. If such Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s
Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. 
  
 (c) The failure of any Bank to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Bank shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make the Advance to be made by such other Bank on the date of any Borrowing. 
  

 13 

 SECTION 3.04. Fees and Certain Credit Rating Determinations. (a) Commitment Fees. The
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank a commitment fee at the respective rates per annum set forth below on the average daily amount of such Bank’s Available Commitment. The applicable rate for any
period shall be determined on the basis of the publicly announced ratings (“Credit Ratings”) by Moody’s and S&P on the Guarantor’s senior unsecured Debentures during such period, the applicable rate to change when and
as such Credit Ratings change.

 14 

 (ii) If, during any period, either Moody’s or S&P shall not have publicly

provided that the Guarantor may, at any time, substitute Fitch Ratings or another nationally recognized rating agency acceptable to the Majority Banks for Moody’s or S&P. Any Credit Rating assigned by a substitute credit agency,
prior to the determination of the commitment fee for the period during which such Credit Rating shall be in effect or the determination of the Applicable Margin at any time, shall be converted to the nationally recognized equivalent thereof under
the rating system employed by Moody’s or S&P, as applicable; and 
  
 (iv) If, during any period that both Moody’s and S&P have publicly announced a Credit Rating with respect to the Guarantor’s senior unsecured Debentures, such Credit Ratings fall within different Tiers
under Section 3.04(a), Section 3.04(c) or Section 3.07 or (i) in the case of a ratings differential of one Tier, the higher rating will apply and (ii) in the case of a ratings differential of two Tiers or more, the intermediate
rating at the midpoint will apply. If there is no midpoint, the higher of the two intermediate ratings will apply. 
  
 (c) Utilization Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank a utilization fee during each period
specified below at the respective rates per annum set forth below on the sum during the applicable period of the average daily amount of such Bank’s outstanding Advances. The applicable rate for any period shall be determined on the basis of

Borrower may, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent (received not later than 10:00 a.m. (London time)), terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the respective Commitments of the Banks on a
permanent basis; provided that (i) any such reduction shall not cause the Aggregate Commitments to be less than the Facility Usage at such time, and (ii) in the case of any partial reduction of the Commitments, such partial reduction shall be
in an aggregate amount not less than the lesser of (A) 10,000,000 Euro (or an integral multiple of 5,000,000 Euro in excess thereof) (or the Approximate Equivalent Amount if denominated in an Agreed Currency other than Euro) and (B) the amount by

 SECTION 3.08.
Additional Interest on Advances. So long as each Bank shall be required under regulations of (a) the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, (b) the Bank of England, (c) the European Central Bank, (d) any Governmental Authority of
the jurisdiction of any Agreed Currency or (e) any Governmental Authority of any jurisdiction to which Advances in any Agreed Currency are made to which banks in any jurisdiction are subject for any category of deposits or liabilities customarily
used to fund loans in such Agreed Currency or by reference to which interest rates applicable to loans in such Agreed Currency, in each case, to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including liabilities similar
to the Advances, including, without limitation, Eurocurrency Liabilities, the Borrower shall pay to such Bank additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance of such Bank, from the date of such Advance until such principal amount
is paid in full, at an interest rate per annum equal at all times during the Interest Period for such Advance to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i) the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period from (ii) the rate obtained by dividing the
applicable rate referred to in clause (i) above by that percentage equal to 100% minus the Eurocurrency Rate Reserve Percentage of such Bank for such Interest Period, payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Advance. Such additional

  

 17 

 
interest shall be determined by such Bank and notified in writing to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent. Such determination shall be binding for
all purposes in the absence of manifest error; provided that no challenge to such determination may be made by the Borrower after the sixtieth day following delivery of such notification to the Borrower. 
  
 SECTION 3.09. Interest on Overdue Principal. If any amount of
principal is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), that amount of principal shall bear interest, from the date on which such amount is due until such amount is paid in full, payable on demand, at a rate per
annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the Eurocurrency Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time. 
  
 SECTION 3.10. Interest Rate Determinations. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Banks, of any applicable
interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of Section 3.07. 
  
 SECTION 3.11. Performance of Banks’ Obligations. Each Bank shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep apprised of all events and circumstances (a) that would excuse or prohibit such Bank from
performing its obligation to make Advances hereunder pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or (b) that would permit such Bank to demand increased costs pursuant to Section 3.13. Such Bank shall, as soon as practicable after becoming aware of any
such event or circumstance, use commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent permitted by law, to perform its obligations to make Advances through another office or lending office, and with respect to increased costs, to reduce such increased
costs (if the use of such other office or lending office or such reduction would not adversely affect the performance of such obligations or repayment of the Advances or result in any increased cost, loss, liability or other disadvantage to such
Bank in such Bank’s reasonable judgment), in either case if by taking the action contemplated by the foregoing, such event or circumstance would cease to exist. 
  
 SECTION 3.12. Optional Prepayments. (a) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, given not later
than 9:00 a.m. (London time) at least three Business Days before the proposed date of prepayment by telephone (to be confirmed immediately in writing), telecopier or telex, stating in such notice the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of
the prepayment, and if such notice is given, the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Advances made as part of the same Borrowing in whole or in part (and if in part, in an aggregate amount not less than 10,000,000 Euro (and
in integral multiples of 5,000,000 Euro in excess thereof) (or the Approximate Equivalent Amounts if such Advances are denominated in Agreed Currencies other than Euro)), by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest
thereon and other amounts then due and owing, if any, hereunder to the date of prepayment. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Advances of the several Banks included in such Borrowing. If the Borrower prepays any
Borrowing on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, the Borrower shall reimburse each Bank for the losses, costs and expenses contemplated in Section 9.04(b). 
  
 (b) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section
3.12, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s ratable share, if any, of such prepayment. 
  

 18 

 SECTION 3.13. Increased Costs. Subject to Section 3.11, if: 
  
 (a) due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (other than any
change by way of imposition or increase of reserve, special deposit or similar requirements included in the Eurocurrency Rate Reserve Percentage) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or
request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Bank of agreeing or committing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Advances hereunder,
or 
  
 (b) either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in
the interpretation of any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted after the date hereof and arising out of the July 1988 report of the Basel Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices entitled “International Convergence of
Capital Measurement and Capital Standards” or (ii) compliance by any Bank with any law or regulation, or with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), affects or
would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank and such Bank determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Bank’s
commitment to lend hereunder and other commitments of this type, or upon the making or funding of its Advances hereunder, then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon 15 days’ written demand by such Bank (with a copy of such demand to the
Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank additional amounts sufficient to (i) in the case of any of the events described in clause (a) above, reimburse such Bank for such increased cost, such increased cost
to be determined by such Bank using its customary methods therefor (and, if such Bank uses from time to time more than one such method, the method chosen for application hereunder shall be that method which most accurately determines such increased
cost), and (ii) in the case of any of the events described in clause (b) above, compensate such Bank in light of such circumstances, to the extent such Bank reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such
Bank’s commitment to lend or maintain Advances hereunder. A certificate as to any such amount (demonstrating, in reasonable detail, the calculations used by such Bank to determine such amount), submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent by such Bank, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes in the absence of manifest error; provided that no challenge to such determination may be made by the Borrower after the sixtieth day following delivery of such notification
to the Borrower. 
  
 SECTION 3.14. Payments and
Computations. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder or under any Notes not later than 12:00 noon (London time) on the day when due and, with respect to principal or interest on Advances, in the currency in which such Advance was
made to the Borrower, to the Administrative Agent in such funds as may then be customary for settlement of international transactions in such currency and without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction. All other payments made hereunder shall be
payable in immediately available funds in Euro. All payments hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s address specified in Section 9.02, or at any other Lending Office of the Administrative Agent
specified in writing by the Administrative 

  

 19 

 
Agent to the Borrower, and shall be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the Banks. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the
Borrower’s account with the Administrative Agent, after notice to the Borrower of the amount to be charged, for each payment of principal, interest and fees as such payment becomes due. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to
be distributed like funds relating to such payment ratably (in accordance with all like obligations then due and payable to which such payment relates) to the Banks for the account of their respective Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the
payment of any other amount payable to any Bank, to such Bank for the account of its Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.14, if, after the making of any Advance in any
currency other than Euro, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues such currency with the result that the type of currency in which the Advance was made (the “Original Currency”) no longer
exists or the Borrower is not able to make payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks in such Original Currency, then all payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder in such currency shall instead be made when due in Euro in
an amount equal to the Euro Amount (as of the date of repayment) of such payment due, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Borrower take all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations. 

 
 (c) All calculations of interest and commitment fees shall be made on the
basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an
interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes in the absence of manifest error. No challenge to any determination by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection may be made by the Borrower after the sixtieth day
following delivery to the Borrower of written notification of such determination. 
  
 (d) Whenever any payment hereunder or under any Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in
such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or facility fee, as the case may be. If such extension would cause such payment with respect to an Advance to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on
the immediately preceding applicable Business Day and the period of time during which such payment would have been outstanding but for compliance with this provision shall not be included in the computation of payment of interest with respect
thereto. 
  
 (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the
Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due to such Bank. If and to the extent the Borrower shall
not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is
distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Administrative 

  

 20 

 
Agent, at an interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry practices on interbank compensation. 
  
 SECTION 3.15. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower
hereunder or under any Notes shall be made, in accordance with Section 3.14, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with
respect thereto, excluding, (i) in the case of each Bank and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on net income, and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on it as a result of a present or former connection between
such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, and (ii) withholding or similar taxes to the extent
such taxes would be imposed on sums payable to such Bank at the time such Bank becomes a party to this Agreement (all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities, less the exclusions described in clauses (i)
through (ii) above, being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”); provided, that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes (as defined below) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be
increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or the applicable Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and provided,
further, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such sums payable to any Bank with respect to any Taxes that are attributable to such Bank’s failure to comply with the requirements of clause (d) of this
Section. 
  
 (b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any
present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise (i) from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes to any Lending Office listed on Schedule 1.01 or to any lending
or other office established pursuant to Section 3.11 or otherwise in accordance with this Agreement with respect to Advances made or to be made under this Agreement or (ii) from the execution or delivery of this Agreement or the Notes or any
amendment hereto or thereto (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 
  
 (c) The Borrower will indemnify each Bank and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts
payable under this Section 3.15) incurred by such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) or any liability incurred by such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) (including penalties and interest unless caused by
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification
shall be made within 30 days from the date such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor, which demand shall demonstrate, in reasonable detail, the circumstances concerning the imposition of, and the
calculations used to determine, such Taxes or Other Taxes. 
  

 21 

 (d) Any Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the
jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times
prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided
that such Bank has received written notice from the Borrower advising it of the availability of such exemption or reduction and containing all applicable documentation. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Bank which is party to this Agreement on
the Closing Date agrees to provide to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), unless otherwise not permitted by law, on or before the Closing Date, all documentation required pursuant to this clause (d) to permit all payments made by
the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement to be made without withholding. 
  
 SECTION 3.16. Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) Each Bank shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Bank resulting from each
Advance made by such Bank from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Bank from time hereunder. 
  
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Advance made hereunder, the Agreed Currency in which
such Advance is denominated and the Interest Period with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Bank hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by
the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Bank’s share thereof. 
  
 (c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Advances therein recorded;
provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Bank to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Borrowings in accordance with
their terms. 
  
 (d) Any Bank may request that its Advances be
evidenced by a promissory note (each a “Note”). In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Bank a Note or separate Notes evidencing such Advances, at such Bank’s request, payable to the order of such
Bank in a form or forms supplied by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Advances evidenced by such Note or Notes and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 9.06) be represented by one or
more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 9.06, except to the extent that any such Bank or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Advances once
again be evidenced as described in paragraphs (a) and (b) above. 
  
 SECTION 3.17. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Bank shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of any Advance made by it in excess of its ratable
share of all payments obtained by Banks on account of the Advances comprising the Borrowing to which such Advance relates, 

  

 22 

 
such Bank shall forthwith purchase from the other Banks which shall then have Advances outstanding comprising a part of such Borrowing participations in the
Advances comprising a part of such Borrowing as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment (net of any expenses which may be incurred by such Bank in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) ratably with respect
to such Borrowing with each of such other Banks. If all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank, such purchase from each selling Bank shall be rescinded and such selling Bank shall repay to the
purchasing Bank the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such selling Bank’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such selling Bank’s required repayment to (ii) the total
amount so recovered from the purchasing Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from another Bank
pursuant to this Section 3.17 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of the
Borrower in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Bank to exercise any right it may have of set-off, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar right or shall affect the right of any Bank to exercise, and
retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower not evidenced by this Agreement or the Notes. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Bank
obtains a secured claim in lieu of a set-off or other payment to which this Section 3.17 would apply, such Bank shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of
the Banks entitled under this Section 3.17 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim. 
  
 SECTION 3.18. Termination and Prepayment with Respect to Any Bank. (a) In addition to the right of the Borrower to terminate in whole or reduce
ratably the unused portion of the Commitments as described in Section 3.05 and the right of the Borrower to ratably prepay Advances as described in Section 3.12, the Borrower shall have the right to terminate the unused portion of the
Commitment of any Bank and to prepay all outstanding Advances made by such Bank in the manner described in this Section 3.18 if the Borrower shall have received notice (a “Special Notice”) that such Bank (i) cannot extend an
Advance in any Agreed Currency and shall exercise its rights pursuant to Section 3.01(a), (ii) claims reimbursement for increased costs or reduced returns pursuant to Section 3.13 or (iii) claims reimbursement for Taxes or Other Taxes
pursuant to Section 3.15. 
  
 (b) Upon receipt by the
Borrower of a Special Notice from any Bank, the Borrower may elect to terminate the unused portion of the Commitment of such Bank by giving notice thereof (a “Termination Notice”) to such Bank and to the Administrative Agent on or
before the thirtieth day following the date of such Special Notice, specifying therein (i) the name of such Bank (“Terminated Bank”), (ii) the proposed effective date of termination (“Bank Termination Date”) of the
unused portion of such Terminated Bank’s Commitment, which date shall not in any event be less than five Business Days following the date of such Termination Notice, (iii) one or more commercial banks (each, a “Successor
Bank”), each such Successor Bank having a combined capital, surplus (or its equivalent) and undivided profits in an amount not less than U.S. $500,000,000 (or its equivalent in another currency), which Successor Bank or 

  

 23 

 
Successor Banks shall have agreed, in the aggregate, to succeed to the entire Commitment of such Terminated Bank on the Bank Termination Date. 
  
 (c) Unless the Borrower shall have elected, as evidenced by its Termination
Notice, to prepay all the Advances made by a Terminated Bank outstanding as of the Bank Termination Date, any Advance (each a “TB Advance”) made by such Terminated Bank having an Interest Period ending after the Bank Termination
Date shall remain outstanding until the last day of such Interest Period (unless required to be paid earlier in accordance with the terms of this Agreement). On the last day of the then current Interest Period in respect of each TB Advance, the
Successor Bank shall extend an Advance to the Borrower in a principal amount corresponding to such TB Advance, and having an Interest Period of the type specified in the Notice of Interest Period Election that would otherwise have applied to such TB
Advance, and the proceeds of such Advance from the Successor Bank shall be used by the Borrower to repay such TB Advance to the Terminated Bank. The Successor Bank or Successor Banks specified by the Borrower in a Termination Notice shall have
agreed, prior to the Bank Termination Date, to succeed, in the aggregate, to the entire Commitment of such Terminated Bank on the Bank Termination Date which succession shall, with respect to the unused portion of such Terminated Bank’s
Commitment as of such Bank Termination Date, become effective as of the Bank Termination Date and, with respect to the remaining portion of such Terminated Bank’s Commitment, become effective as and when such Terminated Bank’s Advances are
repaid. 
  
 (d) If the Borrower shall have elected, as evidenced
by its Termination Notice, to prepay all the Advances made by a Terminated Bank outstanding as of the Bank Termination Date, the Successor Bank or Successor Banks shall in the aggregate extend to the Borrower, on the Bank Termination Date, Advances
(with interest at a rate to be agreed upon by the Borrower and each Successor Bank) corresponding in respective amounts to each Advance being prepaid as of such date, each of which Advances shall have an Interest Period beginning on the Bank
Termination Date and ending on the last day of the Interest Period of the Advance being prepaid to which it corresponds. 
  
 (e) Each such termination pursuant to this Section 3.18 shall be effective on the Bank Termination Date proposed by the Borrower in the related
Termination Notice if (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred prior to such date and be continuing on such date, (ii) in the event the Borrower shall have elected to prepay all Advances made by such Terminated Bank outstanding as of such date,
(A) the Borrower shall have prepaid the outstanding aggregate amount of all Advances made by the Terminated Bank, together with accrued interest and accrued fees to such date on the amount prepaid and all other amounts payable to such Bank as of
such date and (B) the Successor Bank or Successor Banks shall have extended to the Borrower Advances equal in aggregate amount to the Advances of the Terminated Bank being prepaid as required pursuant to Section 3.18(d), and (iii) the
Administrative Agent shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that the Successor Bank or Successor Banks shall have agreed in the aggregate to succeed to the entire Commitment of the Terminated Bank in
accordance with this Section 3.18. 
  
 (f) Subject to
subsection (e) above, on the Bank Termination Date, (i) each Successor Bank shall become a party to this Agreement as if such Successor Bank shall have been named on the signature pages hereof, and such Successor Bank shall have all the rights and

  

 24 

 
obligations of a “Bank” hereunder and (ii) the Terminated Bank shall have no further Commitment under this Agreement (other than with respect to
Advances, if any, made by such Bank which remain outstanding after such date) and shall no longer be a “Bank” under this Agreement for any purpose (other than with respect to Advances made by such Bank which remain outstanding after such
date) except insofar as it shall be entitled to any payment or indemnification, or be obligated to make any indemnification, on account of any event which shall have occurred, or any right or liability which shall have arisen, on or prior to the
date of repayment of such outstanding Advances. The termination of any Bank’s Commitment and the prepayment of such Bank’s Advances pursuant to this Section 3.18 shall not relieve or satisfy the obligations of the Borrower to make
any such prepayments free and clear of all Taxes, to reimburse such Bank for all Other Taxes and for all increased costs pursuant to Section 3.13, or to comply with all other terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, Section 9.04).

 (e) A favorable opinion of (i) the General Counsel of the Guarantor, (ii)
Sidley Austin Brown & Wood LLP, special counsel to the Guarantor, or other counsel to the Guarantor (who also may be an employee of the Guarantor) acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in its reasonable judgment, and (iii) Swiss counsel to the

 25 

 
Borrower’s performance under this Agreement, need not be favorable) as to such other matters concerning the Borrower’s legal affairs or the
Guarantor’s legal affairs, in each case, as any Bank through the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. 
  
 SECTION 4.02. Conditions Precedent to Each Borrowing. The obligation of each Bank to make an Advance on the occasion of each Borrowing (including
the First Borrowing) shall be subject to the additional conditions precedent that on the date of such Borrowing (a) immediately before and after giving effect to such Borrowing and to the application of proceeds therefrom, the following statements

on and as of such date, 
  
 (ii) No event has
occurred and is continuing, or would result from such Borrowing (or from the application of the proceeds therefrom), which constitutes an Event of Default or which would constitute an Event of Default but for the requirement that notice be given or

 (iii) The Facility
Usage at such time does not exceed the Aggregate Commitments at such time. 
  
 and
(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received (x) additional opinions (which, to the extent such opinions do not pertain to the legality, validity or enforceability of the Borrower’s performance under this Agreement, need not be favorable)

such other available information, in all cases concerning the business and financial condition of the Borrower or the Guarantor, as any Bank through the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. 
  
 ARTICLE V 
  
 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
  
 SECTION 5.01. Representations and Warranties of the Borrower. The Borrower represents and warrants as follows: 
  
 (a) Corporate Existence and Standing. The Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and, where such concept applies, in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in
which the failure so to qualify would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower. 
  

 26 

 (b) Authorization; No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this
Agreement and the Notes are within the Borrower’s corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and do not contravene (i) the Borrower’s charter or by-laws or (ii) any law or any contractual restriction
binding on or affecting the Borrower. 
  
 (c) Governmental
Consents. No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority or regulatory body is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Agreement or any Notes.

  
 (d) Validity. This Agreement is, and any Notes when
delivered will be, the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
similar law affecting creditors’ rights generally and to the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 
  
 (e) Litigation. There is no pending or, to the best of the knowledge
of the Borrower, threatened action or proceeding affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator, which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition
or operations of the Borrower or which purports to affect the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any Note. 
  
 (f) Investment Company Act. The Borrower is not (i) an “investment company,” (ii) a company “controlled” by an “investment
company” which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (iii) to the best knowledge of the Borrower, a company “controlled” by any other “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
  
 (g) Regulation U.
Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged in the business of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock. The value of the Margin Stock owned directly or indirectly by the Borrower or any Subsidiary which is subject to any arrangement (as
such term is used in Section 221.2(g) of Regulation U issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) hereunder is less than an amount equal to 25% of the value of all assets of the Borrower and/or such Subsidiary subject to such
arrangement. 
  
 (h) Environmental Matters. The operations
of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries comply in all material respects with all Environmental Laws, the noncompliance with which would materially adversely affect the business of the Borrower or the ability of the Borrower to obtain credit on
commercially reasonable terms. 
  
 SECTION 5.02.
Representations and Warranties of the Banks. Each of the Banks represents and warrants as to itself as follows: 
  
 Qualifying Bank. Each Bank is a Qualifying Bank. No Bank shall assign or transfer any part of its Commitment to any entity that is not a Qualifying
Bank, except as permitted in Section 9.06(b). 
  

 27 

  
 ARTICLE VI 
  
 COVENANTS 
  
 SECTION 6.01. Affirmative Covenants of the Borrower. So long as any Advance shall remain unpaid or any Bank shall
have any Commitment, the Borrower will: 
  
 (a) Payment of
Taxes, Etc. Pay and discharge, and cause each Subsidiary to pay and discharge, before the same shall become delinquent, (i) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income, profit or property, and
(ii) all lawful claims which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon its property; provided, however, that neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary shall be required to pay or discharge any such tax, assessment, charge or claim
which is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings and with respect to which the Borrower shall have established appropriate reserves in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 
  
 (b) Maintenance of Insurance. Maintain, and cause each Material
Subsidiary to maintain, insurance with responsible and reputable insurance companies or associations in such amounts and covering such risks as is usually carried by (or, as applicable, self-insure in a manner and to an extent not inconsistent with

 (c) Preservation of Corporate Existence, Etc. Preserve and maintain, and cause each Subsidiary to preserve and
maintain, its corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory), and franchises, except as otherwise permitted by Section 6.02. 
  
 (d) Compliance with Laws, Etc. Comply, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply, with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules,
regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, all Environmental Laws), noncompliance with which would materially adversely affect the business of the Borrower or the ability of the Borrower to obtain credit on
commercially reasonable terms. 
  
 (e) Keeping of Books.
Keep, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to keep, proper books of record and account, in which full and correct entries shall be made of all financial transactions and the assets and business of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries in

financial records of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, to examine and make copies of the books of account and other financial records of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries with, and to be advised as to the same by, their respective officers or directors, at such reasonable times during normal business hours and intervals as the Administrative Agent may reasonably designate. 
  

 28

 (h) Use of Proceeds. Use the proceeds of Borrowings made under this Agreement for general corporate purposes not in violation of any applicable law
or regulation (including, without limitation, Regulation U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Margin Regulations”)). With respect to any Borrowing the proceeds of which shall be used to purchase or
carry Margin Stock, the Borrower shall include in the Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing such information as shall enable the Banks and the Borrower to comply with the Margin Regulations.

Advance shall remain unpaid or any Bank shall have any Commitment, the Borrower will not: 
  
 Merger, Etc. Merge or consolidate with or into, or Transfer Assets to, or permit any Subsidiary to merge or consolidate with or into, or Transfer Assets to, any Person, except that the Borrower or any
Subsidiary may (A) merge or consolidate with any Person so long as (x) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no event shall have occurred and be continuing which constitutes an Event of Default or which with the giving of notice or
lapse of time or both would constitute an Event of Default and (y) in the case of any merger or consolidation to which the Borrower shall be a party, the survivor of such merger or consolidation shall be the Borrower.

interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Advances, all such accrued interest and all such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without
presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. In the event of the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 7.01(f), (A) the obligation of each Bank to make
Advances shall automatically be terminated and (B) the Advances, all such interest and all such amounts shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby

 ARTICLE VIII 
  
 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
  
 SECTION 8.01. Authorization and Action. Each Bank hereby appoints and
authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully
protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority Banks and such instructions shall be binding upon all Banks and all holders of Notes. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which
exposes it to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. 
  
 SECTION 8.02. Duties and Obligations. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or
in connection with this Agreement except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof unless and
until the Administrative Agent receives written notice of the assignment thereof signed by such payee and the Administrative Agent receives the written agreement of the assignee that such assignee is bound hereby as it would have been if it had been
an original Bank party hereto, in each case in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts
selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall incur no liability under or in
respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telegram, cable or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties or by acting upon any
representation or warranty of the Borrower made or deemed to be made 

  

 33 

 
hereunder. Further, the Administrative Agent (A) makes no warranty or representation to any Bank and shall not be responsible to any Bank for the accuracy or
completeness of any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement, (B) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms,
covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of the Borrower or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower, and (C) shall not be responsible to any Bank for the due execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto. 
  
 SECTION 8.03. Administrative Agent and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitment, the Advances made by it and the Notes issued to it, the
Administrative Agent, in its separate capacity as a Bank, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Bank” or
“Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include the Administrative Agent in its separate capacity as a Bank. The Administrative Agent, in its separate capacity as a Bank, and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money
to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary and any Person which may do business with or own securities of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, all as if it were not the
Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks. 
  
 SECTION 8.04. Bank Credit Decision. Each Bank agrees that it has itself been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal of and investigations into the financial
condition, creditworthiness, condition, affairs, status and nature of the Borrower. Accordingly, each Bank confirms to the Administrative Agent that such Bank has not relied, and will not hereafter rely, on the Administrative Agent, or any other
Bank, (i) to check or inquire on its behalf into the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information provided by the Borrower under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions herein contemplated (whether or not such information
has been or is hereafter distributed to such Bank by the Administrative Agent), (ii) to assess or keep under review on its behalf the financial condition, creditworthiness, condition, affairs, status or nature of the Borrower or (iii) in entering
into this Agreement or in making its own credit decisions with respect to the taking or not taking of any action under this Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 8.05. Indemnification. The Banks agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) ratably
according to the respective principal amounts of the Commitments then held by each of them (or if the Commitments have at the time been terminated, ratably according to the respective Euro Amounts of their Advances then outstanding), from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent
in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the 

  

 34 

 
foregoing, each Bank agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including
reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, the administration, modification or amendment of this Agreement or preservation of any rights of the Administrative Agent or the
Banks under, or the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such
expenses by the Borrower. 
  
 SECTION 8.06. Sub-Agents. The
Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers 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 and all its
duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs 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 facility provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
  
 SECTION 8.07. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written
notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Majority Banks. Upon any such resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Majority Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor
Administrative Agent to assume the position as Administrative Agent of the retiring Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30
days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Majority Banks’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent, which shall be either a Bank hereunder or a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 (or its equivalent
in another currency). The Borrower shall have the right to approve any successor Administrative Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld (in all such cases the Borrower shall be entitled to take into account its past and then
existing commercial banking relationships, among other things); provided that, if an Event of Default shall have occurred, such right of the Borrower to approve the successor Administrative Agent shall be suspended during the continuance of
such Event of Default. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal
hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 8.08. Syndication Agents and Mandated Lead Arrangers. None of
the Banks identified on the cover page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “Syndication Agent” or a “Mandated Lead Arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, 

  

 35 

 
responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Banks as such. Each Bank acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not
rely, on any of the Banks identified as Syndication Agents or as Mandated Lead Arrangers in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder or pursuant hereto. 
  
 ARTICLE IX 
  
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 SECTION 9.01. Amendments, Etc. Subject to the next four sentences, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Guaranty nor
consent to any departure by the Borrower or the Guarantor, as applicable, therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Majority Banks, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment or waiver of Section 12(j) of the Guaranty, nor consent to any departure by the Borrower and the Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be in writing and signed by Banks having at least 66 2/3% of the then aggregate amount of the Commitments or, if the Commitments have been terminated, holding at least 66 2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the Advances then outstanding,
and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all the Banks, do any of the following: (a) waive
any of the conditions specified in Article IV, (b) change the Commitments of the Banks or subject the Banks to any additional obligations, (c) reduce the principal of, or interest (by modification of the definition of “Applicable
Margin” or otherwise) on, the Notes or any commitment fees or other amount payable hereunder, (d) change any date fixed for any payment in respect of principal of, or interest on, the Advances, or any facility fees or other amount payable
hereunder, (e) change the percentage of the Commitments, or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Advances, or the number of Banks, which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action hereunder, or amend the definition
herein of “Majority Banks,” (f) release any of the obligations of the Guarantor under the Guaranty (except in accordance with the terms thereof) or (g) amend this Section 9.01. No amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in
writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Banks required hereinabove to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 9.02. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications
provided for hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (including by telecopier) and mailed or sent or delivered, if to the Borrower, at the address set forth for the Borrower on the signature pages hereof; if from the Borrower
to the Administrative Agent or any Bank, to the Administrative Agent at the address set forth for the Administrative Agent on the signature pages hereof; if from the Administrative Agent to any Bank, at the address of such Bank’s Lending
Office; or, in any case, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto (except in the case of the Borrower, as to which a change of address may be made by notice to the Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Banks and except in the case of any Bank, as to which a change of address may be made by notice to the Administrative Agent). Subject to the next sentence, all such notices and communications shall be effective, in the case of
written notice, when deposited in the mails, air mail, postage prepaid, 

  

 36 

 
and, in the case of notice by telecopy, when sent addressed as set forth above. All notices and communications pursuant to Articles II, VII,
and VIII shall not be effective until they are received by the addressee. The Administrative Agent agrees to deliver promptly to each Bank copies of each report, document, certificate, notice and request, or summaries thereof, which the
Borrower is required to, and does in fact, deliver to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, copies of the reports to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01(g).
The Administrative Agent shall notify each of the Banks when all of the documents required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 4.01 shall have been received by the Administrative Agent. 
  
 SECTION 9.03. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part
of the Administrative Agent or any Bank to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver hereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 
  
 SECTION 9.04. Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Mandated Lead Arrangers in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
out-of-pocket expenses of one firm of attorneys retained as counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Mandated Lead Arrangers with respect to advising the Administrative Agent and the Mandated Lead Arrangers as to their rights and
responsibilities under this Agreement. The Borrower further agrees to pay on demand all direct out-of-pocket losses, and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, if any (including reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel and reasonable
allocated costs and expenses of in-house counsel), of any Bank in connection with the enforcement (whether by legal proceedings, negotiation or otherwise) of the Loan Documents. 
  
 (b) If, due to payments made by the Borrower due to acceleration of the maturity of the Advances pursuant to Section
7.01 or due to any other reason, any Bank receives payments of principal of any Advance other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Bank (with a copy of such demand to the
Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank any amounts required to compensate such Bank for any additional direct out-of-pocket losses, costs or expenses which it may reasonably incur as a result of such
payment, including, without limitation, any such loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Bank to fund or maintain such Advance. 
  
 (c) Subject to the next sentence, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Administrative Agent and each Bank and each of their respective directors, officers and employees from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements
of outside counsel and reasonable allocated costs and expenses of in-house counsel) which may be incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such Bank or any such director, officer or employee in connection with or arising out of any
investigation, litigation, or proceeding (i) related to any transaction or proposed transaction (whether or not consummated) in which any proceeds of any Borrowing are 

  

 37 

 
applied or proposed to be applied, directly or indirectly, by the Borrower, whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Bank or any such director,
officer or employee is a party to such transactions or (ii) related to the Borrower’s entering into this Agreement, or to any actions or omissions of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates or any of its or their respective
officers, directors or employees in connection therewith. The Borrower shall pay any civil penalty or fine assessed by OFAC against any Bank or the Administrative Agent and all reasonable costs and expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements)
incurred in connection with defense thereof, as a result of the funding of Advances or the acceptance of payments due under the Loan Documents. The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any such indemnified Person from or against any portion
of such claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (a) arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified Person or (b) that result from the violation by the Administrative Agent or Bank of any law or judicial order.

  
 SECTION 9.05. Right of Set-Off. Upon (i) the occurrence
and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 7.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Advances due and payable pursuant to the
provisions of Section 7.01, each Bank (and each of its Affiliates) is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Bank (or any of its Affiliates) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement and any Notes held by such Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement and any Notes and of whether or not such obligations may be matured. Each Bank agrees promptly to
notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Bank, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Bank under this Section are in addition to other
rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which such Bank may have. 
  
 SECTION 9.06. Binding Effect. (a) This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Bank that such Bank has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Bank and their respective
successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of all of the Banks. 
  
 (b) Any Bank may assign, participate or otherwise transfer all or any part of, or interest in, such Bank’s rights and
obligations hereunder and under the Notes issued to it hereunder to one or more banks or other entities which are Qualifying Banks; provided that (i) in the case of any transfer to a Person that is not a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an
Approved Fund, unless (except during the continuance of an Event of Default) the Borrower (whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the Administrative Agent (whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall
have expressly agreed in writing, no Bank shall, by reason of any such transfer, be relieved of any of its obligations or responsibilities to the Borrower hereunder, including without limitation the obligation to make Advances in accordance with the
provisions of Article II or under any Note issued to it hereunder, and (ii) in 

  

 38 

 
the case of any assignment, the amount of the Commitment being assigned pursuant to such assignment shall in no event be less than 5,000,000 Euro (or a
lesser amount approved by the Administrative Agent or if less, the entire amount of such Bank’s Commitment); provided, further, that during the continuance of any Event of Default hereunder, the consent of the Borrower to any such
assignment shall not be required. A Bank may only assign, participate or otherwise transfer all or any part of, or interest in, such Bank’s rights and obligations hereunder and under the Notes to an entity which is not a Qualifying Bank with
the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. To the extent of any such assignment (but not in the event of any such participation or other transfer) such assignee shall have the same rights and benefits against the Borrower as it would
have had if it were a Bank hereunder. However, (i) unless and until the conditions for the Administrative Agent’s treating such assignee as holder pursuant to clause (c) below shall have been satisfied, such assignee shall not be entitled to
exercise the rights of a Bank under this Agreement and the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make payment of any amount to which such assignee may become entitled hereunder other than to the Bank which assigned its rights to such
assignee and (ii) such assignee shall not be included for purposes of determining the number of Banks whose consent shall be required to take any action or refrain from taking any action hereunder or be entitled to exercise any voting rights
hereunder unless (A) such assignee shall have acquired the respective assignor’s entire interest under this Agreement and in the Notes made to such assignor or (B) if such assignee shall have acquired less than the respective assignor’s
entire interest herein and under such Notes, the Borrower shall have expressly agreed to such inclusion of such assignee and such exercise by such assignee. Nothing contained herein shall impair the ability of any Bank, in its discretion, to agree,
solely as between itself and its assignees, participants and other transferees, upon the manner in which such Bank shall exercise its rights under this Agreement and the Notes made to such Bank. 
  
 (c) In order to effect any assignment permitted hereunder by a Bank of all or
any portion of its Commitment hereunder, the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined below), an agreement substantially in the form of
Exhibit 9.06 hereto (an “Assignment and Acceptance”), together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from
and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder and (y) the Bank assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its
rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease
to be a party hereto). 
  
 (d) By executing and delivering an
Assignment and Acceptance, the Bank assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Bank makes
no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or
value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such 

  

 39 

 
assigning Bank makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance
or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the
financial statements referred to in Section 11(f) of the Guaranty (and any later statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(g)(ii)) and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Bank or any other Bank and based on such documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to
exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their
terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Bank. 
  
 (e) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and
accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Advances owing to, each Bank from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the
Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
  

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, each Bank may pledge its right, title and interest under this Agreement and any Note
made to it to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or any other Governmental Authority, as security for financial accommodations or privileges being provided or extended to such Bank by such Governmental Authority. 
  
 SECTION 9.07. Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each Bank
agree to hold any confidential information which it may receive from the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any such information obtained or gathered in connection with any inspection of the type contemplated in
Section 6.01(f)) in confidence, except for disclosure (i) to its Affiliates, legal counsel, accountants, and other professional advisors, and then solely on a need-to-know basis, (ii) in response to any request or order therefor issued by any
Governmental Authority, (iii) as required by law, regulation, or legal process, (iv) within any legal proceeding to enforce any of its rights or remedies hereunder; provided that an Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and the
requisite Banks shall have elected under Section 7.01 to enforce such rights or remedies against the Borrower, (v) to any permitted assignee under Section 9.06, and (vi) of information which is already publicly available at the time of
such disclosure.

 SECTION 9.08. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement and
the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws (as distinguished from the conflicts of laws rules) of the State of New York. 
  
 (b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York 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 any of the
Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York
State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties 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 or any Bank may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
  
 (c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which 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 clause (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto 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 9.02; provided, however, that with respect to the Borrower, service of
process on the Borrower may be made on the Guarantor in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.02 and addressed to the Borrower and the Borrower agrees that such service so made shall be effective against the Borrower. 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 9.09. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement. 
  

SECTION 9.10. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid
under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such
provisions or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 9.11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, taken together with all of the other documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein to be delivered by the Borrower, embodies the entire agreement and supersedes all prior
agreements, written and oral, 

  

 41 

 
relating to the subject matter hereof as among the Borrower, the Banks parties hereto and the Administrative Agent. 
  
 SECTION 9.12. Market Disruption. Notwithstanding the satisfaction of
all conditions referred to in Article II and Article IV with respect to any Advance denominated in an Agreed Currency other than in Euro, if there shall occur on or prior to the date of such Advance any change in national or
international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls which would in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent or the Majority Banks make it impracticable for such Advance to be
denominated in the Agreed Currency specified by the Borrower, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks, and such Advance shall not be denominated in such Agreed Currency but shall be made on
such Borrowing Date in Euro, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Euro Amount of the aggregate principal amount specified in the related Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Interest Period Election, as the case may be, unless the Borrower
notifies the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day before such date that it elects not to borrow on such date. 
  
 SECTION 9.13. Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from the Borrower
hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that
at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s office in London on the Business Day preceding that on which final,
non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to
the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance
with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may
be, in the specified currency, the Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against
such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Banks as a result of
allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Bank under Section 3.17, such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower. 
  
 SECTION 9.14. USA PATRIOT ACT. Each Bank that is subject to the
requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Bank to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

 2. The Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees prompt,
full and complete payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of (a) the principal of and interest on the Advances made by the Banks to, and any Notes held by the Banks of, the Borrower
and (b) all other amounts from time to time owing to the Banks by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, any Notes and the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). This is a guaranty of payment, not a guaranty
of collection. 
  
 3. The Guarantor waives notice
of the acceptance of this Guaranty and of the extension, incurrence or continuance of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof. The Guarantor further waives all setoffs and counterclaims and presentment, protest, notice, filing of claims with
a court in the event of receivership, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, demand or action on delinquency in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, including any right to require the Banks to sue the Guarantor, the
Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person obligated with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or otherwise to enforce payment thereof against any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.

  
 4. The Guarantor hereby agrees that, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, its obligations hereunder shall be continuing, absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, termination, defense (other than indefeasible
payment in full), setoff, counterclaim or recoupment whatsoever (all of which are hereby expressly waived by it to the fullest extent permitted by law), whether by reason of any claim of any character whatsoever, including, without limitation, any
claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise. The validity and enforceability of this Guaranty shall not be impaired or affected by any of the following: (a) any extension, modification or renewal of, or indulgence with respect to,
or substitution for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto at any time; (b) any failure or omission to perfect or maintain any lien on, or preserve rights to, any security or collateral or to enforce any
right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (c) any waiver of any right, power or remedy or of
any default with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (d) any release, surrender, compromise,
settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, any other guaranties with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any
other obligations of any person or entity with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (e) the non-enforceability or invalidity of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or the spuriousness, non-enforceability or
invalidity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (f) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed
Obligations, any part thereof or amounts which are not covered by this Guaranty even though the Banks might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations or to amounts which are not covered by this
Guaranty; (g) any change of ownership of the Borrower or the insolvency, bankruptcy or any other change in the legal status of the Borrower; (h) any change in, or the imposition of, any law, decree, regulation 

  

 Exhibit 4.01(a) 
 Page 4 

 
or other governmental act which does or might impair, delay or in any way affect the validity, enforceability or the payment when due of the Guaranteed
Obligations; (i) the failure of the Borrower to maintain in full force, validity or effect or to obtain or renew when required all governmental and other approvals, licenses or consents required in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or this
Guaranty, or to take any other action required in connection with the performance of all obligations pursuant to the Guaranteed Obligations or this Guaranty; (j) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the Guarantor may have at any
time against the Borrower or any other guarantor or any other Person in connection herewith or with any unrelated transaction; (k) the Banks’ election, in any case or proceeding instituted under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code,
of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (l) any borrowing, use of cash collateral, or grant of a security interest by the Borrower, as debtor in possession, under Section 363 or 364 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code; (m) the disallowance of all or any portion of the Bank’s claims for repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations under Section 502 or 506 of the United States Bankruptcy Code; or (n) any other fact or circumstance which might
otherwise constitute grounds at law or equity for the discharge or release of the Guarantor from its obligations hereunder, all whether or not the Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any act or omission referred to in the foregoing
clauses (a) through (n) of this Section. It is agreed that the Guarantor’s liability hereunder is independent of any other guaranties or other obligations at any time in effect with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any
part thereof and that the Guarantor’s liability hereunder may be enforced regardless of the existence, validity, enforcement or non-enforcement of any such other guaranties or other obligations or any provision of any applicable law or
regulation purporting to prohibit payment by the Borrower of the Guaranteed Obligations in the manner agreed upon among the Agent, the Borrower and the Banks. 
  

5. Credit may be granted or continued from time to time by the Banks to the Borrower without notice to or authorization from the
Guarantor regardless of the Borrower’s financial or other condition at the time of any such grant or continuation. The Banks shall not have an obligation to disclose or discuss with the Guarantor their assessment of the financial condition of
the Borrower. 
  
 6. Until the irrevocable
payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of all commitments which could give rise to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, (a) the Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) the
Guarantor hereby waives any right to enforce any remedy which the Agent or the Banks now have or may hereafter have against the Borrower, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and (c) the Guarantor
hereby waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Agent or the Banks to secure payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any other liability of the Borrower to the Banks.

  
 7. The Guarantor authorizes the Banks to take
any action or exercise any remedy with respect to any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations, which the Banks in their sole discretion shall determine, without notice to the Guarantor. 
  
 8. In the event the Banks in their sole discretion elect to
give notice of any action with respect to any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, ten 

  

 Exhibit 4.01(a) 
 Page 5 

 
(10) days’ written notice mailed to the Guarantor by ordinary mail at its address referred to in Section 20 shall be deemed reasonable notice of
any matters contained in such notice. The Guarantor consents and agrees that neither the Agent nor the Banks shall be under any obligation to marshall any assets in favor of the Guarantor or against or in payment of any or all of the Guaranteed
Obligations. 
  
 9. In the event that
acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantor forthwith upon demand
by the Agent or the Banks. The Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent that the Borrower makes a payment or payments to any of the Banks on the Guaranteed Obligations, or the Agent or the Banks receive any proceeds of collateral securing the
Guaranteed Obligation, which payment or receipt of proceeds or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be returned or repaid to the Borrower, its estate, trustee, receiver,
debtor in possession or any other party, including, without limitation, the Guarantor, under any insolvency or bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment, return or repayment, the
obligation or part thereof which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the date when such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred. 
  
 10. No delay on the part of the Agent or the Banks in the
exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Agent or the Banks of any right, power or remedy shall preclude any further exercise thereof; nor shall any amendment, supplement,
modification or waiver of any of the terms or provisions of this Guaranty be binding upon the Agent or the Banks, except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered on the Banks’ behalf of the Agent. The failure by the Agent
or the Banks at any time or times hereafter to require strict performance by the Borrower or the Guarantor of any of the provisions, warranties, terms and conditions contained in any promissory note, pledge agreement, security agreement, agreement,
guaranty, instrument or document now or at any time or times hereafter executed pursuant to the terms of, or in connection with, the Credit Agreement by the Borrower or the Guarantor and delivered to the Agent or the Banks shall not waive, affect or
diminish any right of the Agent or the Banks at any time or times hereafter to demand strict performance thereof, and such right shall not be deemed to have been waived by any act or knowledge of the Agent or the Banks, their agents, officers or
employees, unless such waiver is contained in an instrument in writing duly signed and delivered on the Banks’ behalf by the Agent. No waiver by the Agent or the Banks of any default shall operate as a waiver of any other default or the same
default on a future occasion, and no action by the Banks permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair the Agent’s or the Banks’ rights or powers, or the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty. Any determination by a
court of competent jurisdiction of the amount of any Guaranteed Obligations owing by the Guarantor to the Banks shall be conclusive and binding on each Guarantor irrespective of whether the Guarantor was a party to the suit or action in which such
determination was made. 
  

 Exhibit 4.01(a) 
 Page 6 

 11. The Guarantor represents and warrants to the Agent and the Banks that: 
  
 (a) The Guarantor and each Material Subsidiary is a
corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which the failure so to qualify would have a
material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Guarantor; 
  
 (b) The execution, delivery and performance by the Guarantor of this Guaranty are within the Guarantor’s corporate powers, have been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and do not contravene (i) the Guarantor’s charter or by-laws or (ii) any law or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting the Guarantor; 
  
 (c) No authorization or approval or other action by, and no
notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority or regulatory body is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by the Guarantor of this Guaranty; 
  
 (d) This Guaranty is the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Guarantor enforceable against the
Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors’ rights generally and to the effect of general principles of equity
(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); 
  
 (e) There is no pending or, to the best of the knowledge of the Guarantor, threatened action or proceeding affecting the Guarantor or any
of its Subsidiaries before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator, which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or operations of the Guarantor or which purports to affect the legality,
validity or enforceability of this Guaranty; 
  
 (f) The Consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2003 and the related Consolidated statements of income and stockholder’s equity for the period then ended of the Guarantor and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, copies of which have been
furnished to each Bank, present fairly the financial position of the Guarantor and its Consolidated Subsidiaries at December 31, 2003 and the results of the operations and changes in financial position of the Guarantor and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year. The Consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2004 and the related Consolidated statements
of income and stockholder’s equity for the two quarters then ended of the Guarantor and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, copies of which have been furnished to each Bank, present fairly the financial position of the Guarantor and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries at June 30, 2004 and the results of the operations and changes in financial position of the Guarantor and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for the two quarters then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied. Since December 31, 2003 there has been no material adverse change in such financial position or operations; and 
  
 (g) The operations of the Guarantor and each Material Subsidiary comply in all material respects with all Environmental Laws, the
noncompliance with which would 

  

 Exhibit 4.01(a) 
 Page 7 

 
materially adversely affect the business of the Guarantor or the ability of the Guarantor to obtain credit on commercially reasonable terms; and 

 
 (h) The Guarantor is not (i) an “investment
company,” (ii) a company “controlled” by an “investment company” which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (iii) to the best knowledge of the Guarantor, a company “controlled” by
any other “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
  
 The Guarantor agrees that the foregoing representations and warranties shall be deemed to have been made by the Guarantor on the date of
this Guaranty and on the date of each Borrowing Notice (except to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date) with respect to each Advance under the Credit Agreement on and as of such Borrowing Date.

  
 12. As long as this Guaranty shall continue
in effect, the Guarantor shall: 
  
 (a) provide

officer of the Guarantor; provided, however, that at any time the Guarantor shall be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, delivery within the time period specified above of copies of the

 (ii) As soon as available and in any event within the
earlier of (A) five (5) days after the time period specified by the SEC under the Exchange Act for annual reporting or (B) 100 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Guarantor, a Consolidated balance sheet of the Guarantor and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries as of the end of such year and a Consolidated statement of income and stockholder’s equity and changes in financial position of the Guarantor and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for such fiscal year and accompanied by
(A) a report of PriceWaterhouse Coopers LLP, independent public accountants of the Guarantor, or other independent public accountants of nationally recognized standing, on the results of their examination of the Consolidated annual financial
statements of the Guarantor and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, which report shall be unqualified or shall be otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Majority Banks; provided that 

  

 Exhibit 4.01(a) 
 Page 8 

 
such report may set forth qualifications to the extent such qualifications pertain solely to changes in generally accepted accounting principles from such
principles applied during earlier accounting periods, the implementation of which changes (with the concurrence of such accountants) is reflected in the financial statements accompanying such report, and (B) a certificate of such accountants
substantially in the form of Exhibit 6.01(g)(ii) to the Credit Agreement; and provided further, that at any time the Guarantor shall be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, delivery within

clause (ii);

Title IV of ERISA to which the Guarantor has an obligation to contribute, as soon as available, and in any event within ten months after the end of such fiscal year, a statement of Unfunded Liabilities of each such plan, certified as correct by an
actuary enrolled in accordance with regulations under ERISA and a statement of estimated withdrawal liability as of the most recent plan year end as customarily prepared by the trustees under the multiemployer plans to which the Guarantor has an
obligation to contribute; 
  
 (vi) As soon as
possible, and in any event within 30 days after the occurrence of each event the Guarantor knows is or may be a Reportable Event (as defined in Section 4043 of ERISA) with respect to any Plan with an Unfunded Liability in excess of $100,000,000, a
statement signed by the chief financial officer of the Guarantor describing such reportable event and the action which the Guarantor proposes to take with respect thereto; and

pay and discharge, before the same shall become delinquent, (i) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income, profit or property, and (ii) all lawful claims which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien

 (c) Maintain, and cause each Material Subsidiary to maintain, insurance with responsible and reputable insurance companies or associations
in such amounts and covering such risks as is usually carried by (or, as applicable, self-insure in a manner and to an extent not inconsistent with conventions observed by) companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in the
same general areas in which the Guarantor or such Material Subsidiary operates;

 [Date]

 Gentlemen:

  
 We have examined the consolidated balance sheet of Baxter
International Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31,         , and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and changes in financial position for the year then ended,
and have issued our report thereon dated                     ,         . Our examination was
made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and, accordingly, included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. 
  
 In connection with our examination, nothing came to our attention that caused
us to believe that Baxter International Inc. is not in compliance with the covenants of Section 12(h) or 12(j) of the Guaranty dated as of January 7, 2005 executed by Baxter International Inc. However, it should be noted that our examination was not
directed primarily toward obtaining knowledge of such noncompliance. 
  
 Very truly yours, 
  
 [PriceWaterhouse Coopers LLP]

               (the “Assignor”) and
                                        
                         (the “Assignee”) agree as follows: 
  
 1. The Assignor hereby sells and assigns to the Assignee, and the Assignee
hereby purchases and assumes from the Assignor, that interest in and to all of the Assignor’s rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement as of the date hereof which represents the percentage interest specified on Schedule 1 of all
