 3 

 The initial Applicable Percentages for Revolving Loans, Letter of Credit Fees and the Commitment Fee
shall be those set forth in Level III until the Interest Determination Date occurring after the delivery of the officer’s compliance certificate pursuant to Section 5.2(b) for the first fiscal quarter ending at least six
(6) months after the Effective Date. The Applicable Percentage shall, in each case, be determined and adjusted quarterly on the date five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Administrative Agent has received from the Company the
annual or quarterly financial information and certifications required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in accordance with the provisions of Sections 5.1(a) and (b) and
Section 5.2(b), in each case with respect to a fiscal quarter or fiscal year ending at least six (6) months after the Effective Date (each an “Interest Determination Date”). Such Applicable Percentage shall
be effective from such Interest Determination Date until the next such Interest Determination Date. After the Effective Date, if the Company shall fail to provide the annual or quarterly financial information and certifications in accordance with
the provisions of Sections 5.1(a) and (b) and Section 5.2(b), the Applicable Percentage from the date five (5) Business Days after the date by which the Company was so required to provide such
financial information and certifications to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, shall be based on Level I until such time as such information and certifications are provided, whereupon the Level shall be determined by the then current
Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (it being understood that, in the case of any late delivery of the financial statements and officer’s certificate as so required, any reduction in the Applicable Percentage shall apply only from and after
the date of the delivery of the complying financial statements and officer’s certificate). In the event that any financial statement or certification delivered pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2(b) is shown to be
inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Revolving Commitments are in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Percentage for any period
(an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Percentage applied for such Applicable Period, and only in such case, then the Company shall immediately (i) deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected compliance certificate
for such Applicable Period, and (ii) determine the Applicable Percentage for such Applicable Period based upon the corrected compliance certificate, and (iii) then for all purposes of this Agreement, the “Applicable
Percentage” for any day occurring within the Applicable Period shall retroactively be deemed to be the relevant percentage as based upon the accurately determined Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio for such Applicable Period; and any
shortfall in the interest or fees theretofore paid by the Applicable Borrower for the relevant Applicable Period pursuant to Sections 2.1(d), 2.2(c), 2.4(a) and 2.4(b) as a result of the
miscalculation of the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio shall be deemed to be (and shall be) due and payable under the relevant provisions of Sections 2.1(d), 2.2(c), 2.4(a) or 2.4(b), as
applicable, at the time the interest or fees for such Applicable Period were required to be paid pursuant to said Section (and shall remain due and payable until paid in full, together with all amounts owing under Section 2.7, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement).

Revolving Commitment Percentage of the outstanding Swingline Loans (such arrangements, the “Swingline Back-Stop Arrangements”), and (ii) the Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan after it has received written

purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Swingline Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Applicable Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such
Participation Interest in the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause each such Revolving Lender to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon its respective Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined before giving effect

Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 7.2); provided that (A) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the
account of the Swingline Lender until the date as of which the respective Participation Interest is purchased, and (B) at the time any purchase of a Participation Interest pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Revolving
Lender shall be required to pay to the Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of such Participation Interest purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Swingline Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to
but excluding the date of payment for such Participation Interest, at the rate equal to, if paid within two (2) Business Days of the date of the Mandatory Swingline Borrowing, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and thereafter at a rate equal to
the Alternate Base Rate. 
  

	 	(c)	Interest on Swingline Loans. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.7, Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Alternate Base
Rate plus the Applicable Percentage for Revolving Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans. Interest on Swingline Loans shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date or as may be mutually agreed upon by the Borrowers and the
Swingline Lender. 

  

	 	(d)	Swingline Note. The Swingline Loans shall be evidenced by duly executed promissory notes of the Borrowers to the Swingline Lender in the original amount of the Swingline
Committed Amount and substantially in the form of Schedule 2.2(d). 

 Section 2.3 Letter of Credit
Subfacility. 
  

	 	(a)	 Issuance. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and any other terms and conditions which an Issuing Lender may reasonably require, during the Commitment
Period such Issuing Lender shall issue (in the case of trade Letters of Credit, subject to the Issuing Lender of such respective Letter of Credit and the Applicable Borrower agreeing on Trade Fronting Fees to be payable with respect thereto), and
the Revolving Lenders shall participate in, trade or standby Letters of Credit for the account of the Applicable Borrower from time to time upon request by the Administrative Borrower in a form acceptable to such Issuing Lender; provided,
however, that (i) the aggregate amount of LOC Obligations shall not at any time exceed FORTY MILLION DOLLARS ($40,000,000) (the “LOC Committed Amount”), (ii) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving
Loans and Swingline Loans made to the Company plus the outstanding Company LOC Obligations shall not exceed $200,000,000 at any time outstanding, (iii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans plus
outstanding Swingline Loans plus outstanding LOC Obligations shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (A) the Revolving Committed Amount and (B) the Working Capital Amount, (iv) all Letters of Credit shall be denominated in
Dollars 

  

 40 

	 	 
and shall be issued on a sight basis only and (v) Letters of Credit shall be issued for any lawful corporate purposes of the Applicable Borrower and its
Subsidiaries and may be issued as standby letters of credit, including in connection with workers’ compensation and other insurance programs, and trade letters of credit. Except as otherwise agreed upon by all the Revolving Lenders, no Letter
of Credit shall have an original expiry date more than twelve (12) months from the date of issuance; provided, however, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and subject to the other terms and
conditions of the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder, the expiry dates of Letters of Credit may be extended annually or periodically from time to time on the request of the Administrative Borrower or by operation of the terms of the applicable
Letter of Credit to a date not more than twelve (12) months from the date of extension; provided, further, that no Letter of Credit, as originally issued or as extended, shall have an expiry date extending beyond the date which is
five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date. The issuance and expiry date of each Letter of Credit shall be a Business Day. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that a Lender is a Defaulting
Lender, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, renew, extend or amend any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements with one or more Borrowers satisfactory to it and the Administrative Borrower to eliminate
such Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to each Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (which arrangements are hereby consented to by the Lenders), including by a Borrower cash collateralizing
each Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the LOC Obligations with respect to such Letters of Credit (such arrangements, the “Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements”). Unless otherwise agreed, Deutsche Bank
shall be the Issuing Lender on all Letters of Credit issued on or after the Effective Date; provided, however, to the extent Deutsche Bank (or an affiliate therof) shall be unable to provide any Letter of Credit requested by a
Borrower, any other Issuing Lender may serve as the Issuing Lender for such Letter of Credit. 

  

	 	(b)	 Notice and Reports. The request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be submitted by the Administrative Borrower to an Issuing Lender at least five
(5) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance pursuant to a Letter of Credit Request or other form of request acceptable to such Issuing Lender. The initial face amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $100,000 or
such lesser amount as is acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender. Each Issuing Lender will provide on a quarterly basis, and otherwise will promptly upon request provide, to the Administrative Agent for dissemination to the Revolving Lenders a
detailed report specifying the Letters of Credit which are then issued by such Issuing Lender and outstanding and any activity with respect thereto which 

  

 41 

	 	 
may have occurred since the date of any prior report, and including therein, among other things, the account party, the beneficiary, the face amount, expiry
date as well as any payments or expirations which may have occurred. Each Issuing Lender will further provide to the Administrative Agent promptly upon request copies of the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender. Each Issuing Lender will
provide to the Administrative Agent promptly upon request a summary report of the nature and extent of LOC Obligations with respect to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender then outstanding. 

  

	 	(c)	Participations. Each Revolving Lender upon issuance of any Letter of Credit by an Issuing Lender, shall be deemed to have purchased without recourse a risk participation from
such Issuing Lender in such Letter of Credit and the amount available to be drawn thereunder and any collateral relating thereto, in each case in an amount equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the amount available to be drawn under such
Letter of Credit and shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and be obligated to pay to such Issuing Lender therefor and discharge when due, its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the amounts
drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided that any Person that becomes a Revolving Lender after the Effective Date shall be deemed to have purchased a risk participation in all outstanding Letters of Credit on the date it becomes a
Revolving Lender hereunder and any Letter of Credit issued on or after such date, in each case in accordance with the foregoing terms. Without limiting the scope and nature of each Revolving Lender’s participation in any Letter of Credit, to
the extent that an Issuing Lender has not been reimbursed as required hereunder, each such Revolving Lender shall pay to such Issuing Lender its Revolving Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed drawing in same day funds on the day of
notification by such Issuing Lender of an unreimbursed drawing pursuant to the provisions of subsection (d) hereof if such notification is received by such Revolving Lender at or before 12:00 Noon (New York City time), otherwise such payment
shall be made at or before 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the next succeeding Business Day. The obligation of each Revolving Lender to so reimburse each Issuing Lender shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by the
occurrence of a Default, an Event of Default or any other occurrence or event. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Applicable Borrower to reimburse each Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued
by such Issuing Lender, together with interest as hereinafter provided. 

  

	 	(d)	 Reimbursement. In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender of such Letter of Credit will promptly notify the Administrative
Borrower and the Administrative Agent, provided that the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the Applicable Borrower’s obligations hereunder. The 

  

 42 

	 	 
Applicable Borrower shall reimburse each Issuing Lender not later than one Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Borrower of notice of such
payment or disbursement (with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan obtained hereunder or otherwise) in same day funds as provided herein (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under
Section 7.1(e) shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Reimbursement Obligations shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the Applicable
Borrower)), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to
but excluding the date such Issuing Lender was reimbursed by the Applicable Borrower therefor at a rate per annum equal to, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence the Alternate Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable
Percentage as in effect from time to time for Revolving Loans that are maintained as Alternate Base Rate Loans. If the Applicable Borrower shall fail to reimburse the Issuing Lender prior 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on or before the second
Business Day following the receipt by the Applicable Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement or following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 7.1(e), the unreimbursed amount of such drawing
shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Default Rate for Alternate Base Rate Loans set forth in Section 2.7. Any such Reimbursement Obligation shall be deemed satisfied (but nevertheless subject to the payment of
interest thereon as provided herein below) if paid in full with proceeds from a Mandatory LOC Borrowing. Unless the Administrative Borrower shall immediately notify the respective Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent of the Applicable
Borrower’s intent to otherwise reimburse such Issuing Lender, the Applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Mandatory LOC Borrowing in the amount of the drawing as provided in subsection (e) hereof, the proceeds of which will
be used to satisfy the Reimbursement Obligations. The Applicable Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under all circumstances irrespective of any rights of set-off, counterclaim or defense to
payment the Applicable Borrower may claim or have against the applicable Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders, the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender drawn upon or any other Person,
including, without limitation, any defense based on any failure of the Applicable Borrower to receive consideration or the legality, validity, regularity or unenforceability of the Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender. Each Issuing Lender
will promptly notify the other Revolving Lenders of the amount of any unreimbursed drawing not paid by the Applicable Borrower when due and each Revolving Lender shall promptly pay to the Administrative 

  

 43 

	 	 
Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender in Dollars and in immediately available funds, the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment
Percentage of such unreimbursed drawing. Such payment shall be made on the day such notice is received by such Revolving Lender from the applicable Issuing Lender if such notice is received at or before 12:00 Noon (New York City time), otherwise
such payment shall be made at or before 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the Business Day next succeeding the day such notice is received. If such Revolving Lender does not pay such amount to the applicable Issuing Lender in full upon such
request, such Revolving Lender shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender interest on the unpaid amount during the period from the date of such drawing until such Revolving Lender pays such amount to
such Issuing Lender in full at a rate per annum equal to, if paid within two (2) Business Days of the date of drawing, the Federal Funds Effective Rate and thereafter at a rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate. Each Revolving Lender’s
obligation to make such payment to the applicable Issuing Lender, and the right of such Issuing Lender to receive the same, shall be absolute and unconditional, shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever and without regard to the
termination of this Credit Agreement or the Revolving Commitments hereunder, the existence of a Default or Event of Default or the acceleration of the Credit Party Obligations hereunder and shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or
reduction whatsoever. 

  

	 	(e)	 Repayment with Revolving Loans. On any day on which a Borrower shall have requested, or been deemed to have requested, a Revolving Loan to reimburse a
drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Revolving Lenders that a Revolving Loan has been requested or deemed requested in connection with a drawing under a Letter of Credit, in which case a Revolving Loan
borrowing comprised entirely of Alternate Base Rate Loans (each such borrowing, a “Mandatory LOC Borrowing”) shall be immediately made (without giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to
Section 7.2) pro rata based on each Revolving Lender’s respective Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to
Section 7.2) and the proceeds of such Mandatory LOC Borrowing shall be paid directly to the Issuing Lender of such drawn Letter of Credit for application to the respective LOC Obligations. Each Revolving Lender hereby irrevocably
agrees to make such Revolving Loans on the day such notice is received by the Revolving Lenders from the Administrative Agent if such notice is received at or before 12:00 Noon (New York City time), otherwise such payment shall be made at or before
12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the Business Day next succeeding the day such notice is received, in each case notwithstanding (i) the amount of Mandatory LOC Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount (or integral amount in
excess thereof) for 

  

 44 

	 	 
borrowings of Revolving Loans otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 4.2 are then satisfied,
(iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) failure of any such request or deemed request for Revolving Loan to be made by the time otherwise required in Section 2.1(b)(i), (v) the date of such
Mandatory LOC Borrowing, or (vi) any reduction in the Revolving Committed Amount after any such Letter of Credit may have been drawn upon. In the event that any Mandatory LOC Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise
required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Event), then, in satisfaction of its obligations under Section 2.3(c), each such Revolving Lender hereby agrees
that it shall forthwith fund (on the Business Day notice to fund is received by such Revolving Lender from the Issuing Lender of such drawn Letter of Credit if such notice is received at or before 12:00 Noon (New York City time), otherwise such
payment shall be made at or before 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the Business Day next succeeding the Business Day such notice is received) its Participation Interests in the outstanding LOC Obligations; provided, further, that in
the event any Revolving Lender shall fail to fund its Participation Interest on the day the Mandatory LOC Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, then the amount of such Revolving Lender’s unfunded Participation Interest therein shall bear
interest payable by such Revolving Lender to such Issuing Lender upon demand, at the rate equal to, if paid within two (2) Business Days of such date, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and thereafter at a rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate.

  

	 	(f)	Modification, Extension. The issuance of any supplement, modification, amendment, renewal, or extension to any Letter of Credit shall, for purposes hereof, be treated in all
respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit hereunder. 

  

	 	(g)	Uniform Customs and Practices. Each Issuing Lender shall have the right to require that the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender be subject to The Uniform Customs
and Practice for Documentary Credits, as published as of the date of issue by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “UCP”), in which case the UCP may be incorporated therein and deemed in all respects to be a part thereof.

 Section 2.4 Fees. 
  

	 	(a)	 Commitment Fee. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of each Revolving Lender (other than any Revolving Lender
which is a Defaulting Lender for the period it is a Defaulting Lender), a commitment fee (it being understood that 50% of such commitment fees shall be severally owing by each Borrower, with the amounts owing by each Borrower to be guaranteed as,
and to the extent, otherwise provided herein) for the 

  

 45 

	 	 
period from and including the Effective Date to and including the Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the entire Revolving Commitment has been
terminated) (the “Commitment Fee”) in an aggregate amount equal to the Applicable Percentage per annum of the Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment Amount of such Revolving Lender as in effect from time to time. The Commitment Fee
shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day following the last day of each calendar quarter for the prior calendar quarter. 

  

	 	(b)	 Letter of Credit Fees. The Applicable Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of each Revolving Lender (based on each
such Revolving Lender’s respective Revolving Commitment Percentage) in respect of each Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Applicable Borrower, a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for the period from and including
the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Percentage as in effect from time to time during such period with
respect to Revolving Loans that are maintained as LIBOR Rate Loans on the daily LOC Obligations of each such Letter of Credit. In addition to such Letter of Credit Fee, the Applicable Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own
account without sharing by the other Lenders, (x) in respect of each standby Letter of Credit issued by it for the account of such Applicable Borrower, an additional fronting fee (the “Standby Fronting Fee”) for the period from
and including the date of issuance of such standby Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such standby Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to  1/4 of 1% (0.25%) per annum on the daily LOC Obligations of such Letter of Credit, provided that in any event the minimum amount of Standby Fronting Fees payable in
any twelve-month period for each Letter of Credit shall be not less than $500, it being agreed that, on the day of issuance of any Letter of Credit and on each anniversary thereof prior to the termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, if
$500 will exceed the amount of Standby Fronting Fees that will accrue with respect to such Letter of Credit for the immediately succeeding twelve-month period, the full $500 shall be payable on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and on
each such anniversary thereof and (y) in respect of each trade Letter of Credit issued by it for the account of such Applicable Borrower, an additional fronting fee (the “Trade Fronting Fee” and together with the Standby
Fronting Fee, the “Fronting Fees”) as shall be agreed to in writing from time to time by the Applicable Borrowers and such Issuing Lender. The Letter of Credit Fee and the Fronting Fees shall each be payable quarterly in arrears on
the last Business Day of each calendar quarter. 

  

	 	(c)	 Issuing Lender Fees. In addition to the Letter of Credit Fees and Fronting Fees payable pursuant to subsection (b) hereof, the Applicable Borrower shall
pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account without sharing by the 

  

 46 

	 	 
other Lenders, the reasonable and customary charges from time to time of such Issuing Lender with respect to the amendment, transfer, administration,
cancellation and conversion of, and drawings under, the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for the account of such Borrower (collectively, the “Issuing Lender Fees”). 

  

	 	(d)	Administrative Fee. Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent 50% of the annual administrative fee as described in the Fee Letter. 

  

	 	(e)	Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such other fees as may be agreed to in writing from time to time by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and the
Administrative Agent. 

 Section 2.5 Commitment Reductions. 
  

	 	(a)	Voluntary Reductions. The Administrative Borrower shall have the right to terminate or permanently reduce the unused portion of the Revolving Committed Amount at any time or
from time to time upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall notify the Lenders thereof as soon as practicable) of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the
effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction which shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent;
provided that no such reduction or termination shall be permitted if after giving effect thereto, and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans made on the effective date thereof, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Revolving Loans plus outstanding Swingline Loans plus outstanding LOC Obligations would exceed the lesser of (i) the Revolving Committed Amount or (ii) the Working Capital Amount. 

  

	 	(b)	Maturity Date. The Revolving Commitment shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date. 

  

	 	(c)	 Senior Notes and Permitted Refinancings thereof. In addition to any Revolving Commitment reductions described above and any mandatory repayments required
pursuant to Section 2.6(b), if at any time, because of an Asset Sale, Recovery Event or similar occurrence, the Company would become required to make a mandatory offer to purchase all or any portion of the Senior Notes or any permitted
refinancing thereof pursuant to Section 6.1(h) and at such time the Company is not permitted to repurchase or redeem Senior Notes pursuant to Section 6.10 in the aggregate amount required to finance the repurchase or redemption of Senior
Notes as a result of such occurrence (assuming for such purposes 100% acceptance of such mandatory offer by the holders of the Senior Notes), then before such 

  

 47 

	 	 
obligation to make any mandatory offer to purchase arises, the Company shall reduce the Revolving Commitment in such amounts, and make corresponding
repayments of outstanding Loans as may be required, in each case so that no such mandatory offer to repurchase is required to be made. 

 Section 2.6 Prepayments. 
  

	 	(a)	Optional Prepayments. Each Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans made to it in whole or in part from time to time; provided, however, that (i) each
partial prepayment of Revolving Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof and (ii) each prepayment of Swingline Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 and
integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. The Administrative Borrower shall give three (3) Business Days’ irrevocable notice in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans and one (1) Business Day’s irrevocable notice in the case of
Alternate Base Rate Loans, to the Administrative Agent (which shall notify the Lenders thereof as soon as practicable). All prepayments under this Section 2.6(a) shall be subject to Section 2.16, but otherwise
without premium or penalty. Interest accrued through the date of prepayment on the principal amount prepaid shall be payable (A) with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan, on such date of prepayment and (B) with respect to any Alternate Base
Rate Loan, on the next occurring Interest Payment Date that would have occurred had such Loan not been prepaid or, at the request of the Administrative Agent or if there is a corresponding permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitment, such
interest shall be payable on such date of prepayment. Amounts prepaid on the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans may be reborrowed in accordance with the terms hereof. All amounts prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.6(a) shall be
applied first to Alternate Base Rate Loans and then to LIBOR Rate Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities; provided that at such Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.6(a), such prepayment shall not, so long as no Default and no Event of Default then exists, be applied to any Revolving Loan of a Defaulting Lender. 

  

	 	(b)	Mandatory Prepayments. 

 (i) Revolving Committed
Amount. (A) If at any time after the Effective Date, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans plus outstanding Swingline Loans plus LOC Obligations shall exceed the lesser of (I) the
Revolving Committed Amount or (II) the Working Capital Amount, each Borrower, immediately shall prepay its Revolving Loans and the Swingline Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess or (B) if the amount of unrestricted cash and
Cash Equivalents in the aggregate on the 

  

 48 

 
consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries exceeds $150,000,000 for a period of 7 consecutive Business Days, each Borrower immediately
shall prepay on such day (x) first, its outstanding Swingline Loans and, (y) second, after all of its Swingline Loans have been repaid in full or if none of its Swingline Loans are outstanding, its outstanding Revolving Loans, in an amount
sufficient to eliminate such excess. Each Revolving Lender shall receive its pro rata share of any such prepayment based on its Revolving Commitment Percentage; provided that at such Borrower’s election in connection with
any prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.6(b)(i) (other than a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.6(b)(i)(A) to the extent clause (I) thereof would require such prepayment), such prepayment shall not, so long as no
Default and no Event of Default then exists, be applied to any Revolving Loan of a Defaulting Lender. 
 (ii) Asset Dispositions.
Promptly following the receipt by a Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries of the proceeds of any Asset Disposition, the Loans shall be prepaid in an aggregate amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds derived from
such Asset Disposition (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (v) below); provided that the Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Dispositions in any fiscal year shall not be required to be so applied until the aggregate amount of
such Net Cash Proceeds exceeds $10,000,000 for such fiscal year and only such excess amounts shall be required to be applied. 
 (iii)
Recovery Event. Promptly following any Recovery Event, the Loans shall be prepaid in an aggregate amount equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds derived from such Recovery Event (such prepayment to be applied as set
forth in clause (v) below); provided that the Net Cash Proceeds from Recovery Events in any fiscal year shall not be required to be so applied until the aggregate amount of such Net Cash Proceeds exceeds $10,000,000 for such fiscal year
and only such excess amounts shall be required to be applied. 
 (iv) Certain Additional Required Repayments. In addition to the
mandatory repayments required above, mandatory prepayments of Loans shall be required on the dates, and in the amounts, provided in Section 2.5(c) (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (v) below). 
 (v) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. All amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.6(b)(ii), Section 2.6(b)(iii) and
Section 2.6(b)(iv) shall be applied on such day (x) first, to the outstanding Swingline 

  

 49 

 
Loans and, (y) second, after all of the Swingline Loans have been repaid in full or if none of the Swingline Loans are outstanding, the outstanding
Revolving Loans, in each case (except as otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.5(c) in the circumstances described therein), without a corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitments or the Revolving Committed Amount. Within the
parameters of the applications set forth above, prepayments shall be applied first to Alternate Base Rate Loans and then to LIBOR Rate Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities. Each Lender shall receive its pro rata share of any such
prepayment based on its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage; provided that at such Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.6(b)(ii) or Section 2.6(b)(iii), such
prepayment shall not, so long as no Default and no Event of Default then exists, be applied to any Revolving Loan of a Defaulting Lender. All prepayments under this Section 2.6(b) shall be subject to Section 2.16. 
 (c) If any Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender at any time that any Letter of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender is outstanding, the Applicable
Borrower on which account such Letters of Credit are issued shall enter into the applicable Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements with such Issuing Lender no later than 10 Business Days after the date such Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender. 
 Section 2.7 Default Rate and Payment Dates. Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default,
the Required Lenders may elect that the principal of and, to the extent permitted by law, interest on the Loans and any other amounts owing hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a per annum rate 2%
greater than the rate which would otherwise be applicable (or if no rate is applicable, whether in respect of interest, fees or other amounts, then the Alternate Base Rate plus the highest Applicable Percentage (Level I) plus 2%) (the
“Default Rate”); provided, however, that the Default Rate shall apply to the Loans and other amounts owing hereunder and under the other Credit Documents to the extent that either Borrower shall fail to pay any
principal, reimbursement obligation, interest, fee or other amount upon the same becoming due and payable (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise). 
 Section 2.8 Conversion Options. 
  

	 	(a)	 The Administrative Borrower may, in the case of Revolving Loans, elect from time to time to convert Alternate Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans, by giving the
Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice of such election not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date which is three Business Days prior to the requested date of conversion. A form of Notice of Conversion/Extension is
attached as Schedule 2.8. If the date upon which an Alternate Base Rate Loan is to be converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan is not a Business Day, then such conversion shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and during the period from
such last day of an 

  

 50 

	 	 
Interest Period to such succeeding Business Day such Loan shall bear interest as if it were an Alternate Base Rate Loan. All or any part of outstanding
Alternate Base Rate Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided that (i) no Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) partial conversions shall
be in an aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. 

  

	 	(b)	Any LIBOR Rate Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by the Administrative Borrower giving the Administrative Agent
irrevocable written notice of such election not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date which is three Business Days prior to the requested date of continuation; provided, that no LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such when
any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case such Loan shall be automatically converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Administrative Borrower
shall fail to give timely notice of an election to continue a LIBOR Rate Loan, or the continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans is not permitted hereunder, such LIBOR Rate Loans shall be automatically converted to Alternate Base Rate Loans at the end of the
applicable Interest Period with respect thereto. 

 Section 2.9 Computation of Interest and Fees. 
  

	 	(a)	Interest payable hereunder with respect to Alternate Base Rate Loans based on the Prime Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days, as applicable) for
the actual days elapsed. All other fees, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Administrative
Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of a LIBOR Rate on the Business Day of the determination thereof. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate shall become effective as of the opening of
business on the day on which such change in the Alternate Base Rate shall become effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Administrative Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such
change. 

  

	 	(b)	Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders in
the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of a Borrower, deliver to such Borrower a statement showing the computations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate.

 Section 2.10 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. 
  

	 	(a)	Each borrowing of Loans and any reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of the
Lenders. Each payment under this Agreement or any Note made by an Applicable Borrower shall be applied, first, to any fees then due and owing by such Borrower pursuant to Section 2.4, second, to interest then due and
owing in respect of its Loans and, third, to principal then due and owing in respect of its Loans. Each payment made by an Applicable Borrower on account of any fees pursuant to Section 2.4 shall be made pro
rata in accordance with the respective amounts due and owing by such Borrower. Each payment made by an Applicable Borrower on the principal amount of and interest on its Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the
respective amounts due and owing (to be applied pro rata among the Lenders entitled to receive such payment). Each optional prepayment made by an Applicable Borrower on the principal amount of its Loans shall be applied in accordance
with the terms of Section 2.6(a). Each mandatory prepayment made by an Applicable Borrower on the principal amount of its Loans shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.6(b); provided, that
prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.14 shall be applied in accordance with such Section. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrowers on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made without defense,
set-off or counterclaim and shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in Section 9.2 in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than
1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date when due. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders entitled thereto promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the LIBOR
Rate Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate
during such extension. If any payment on a LIBOR Rate Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend
such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Section 2.10(a) shall
be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which (i) require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Lenders which are not Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders and (ii) permit different payments to be made
to Removed Lenders pursuant to Section 2.22(b)(B). 

  

 52 

	 	(b)	Allocation of Payments After Exercise of Remedies. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Credit Agreement to the contrary (except Section 2.20),
after the exercise of remedies (other than the invocation of default interest pursuant to Section 2.7) by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to Section 7.2 (or after the Revolving Commitments shall
automatically terminate and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts under the Credit Documents shall automatically become due and payable in accordance with the terms of such Section), all amounts collected or received by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of the Credit Party Obligations or any other amounts outstanding under any of the Credit Documents or in respect of the Collateral shall be paid over or delivered as follows (irrespective of whether the
following costs, expenses, fees, interest, premiums, scheduled periodic payments or Credit Party Obligations are allowed, permitted or recognized as a claim in any proceeding resulting from the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event):

 FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Administrative Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Lenders under the Credit Documents and any protective advances made by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral under or
pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents; 
 SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to the Administrative Agent and the
Issuing Lenders; 
 THIRD, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees) of each of the Lenders in connection with enforcing its rights under the Credit Documents or otherwise with respect to the Credit Party Obligations owing to such Lender; 
 FOURTH, to the payment of all of the Credit Party Obligations consisting of accrued fees and interest, including, with respect to any
Secured Hedging Agreement, any fees, premiums and scheduled periodic payments due under such Secured Hedging Agreement and any interest accrued thereon; 
 FIFTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Credit Party Obligations, including the payment or cash collateralization of the outstanding LOC Obligations and, with respect to any Secured Hedging
Agreement, any breakage, termination or other payments due under such Secured Hedging Agreement and any interest accrued thereon; 
 SIXTH, to all other Credit Party Obligations and other obligations which shall have become due and payable under the Credit Documents or otherwise and not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “FIFTH” above; and

  

 53 

 SEVENTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whomever may be lawfully entitled to
receive such surplus. 
 In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until
exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category; (ii) each of the Lenders and Hedging Agreement Providers shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding Loans
and LOC Obligations held by such Lender or the outstanding obligations payable to such Hedging Agreement Provider bears to the aggregate then outstanding Loans, LOC Obligations and obligations payable under all Secured Hedging Agreements) of amounts
available to be applied pursuant to clauses “THIRD”, “FOURTH”, “FIFTH” and “SIXTH” above; and (iii) to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause “FIFTH” above are
attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account and applied (A) first, to reimburse the Issuing Lender which issued such Letter
of Credit from time to time for any drawings under such Letters of Credit and (B) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to all other obligations of the types described in clauses “FIFTH” and “SIXTH” above
in the manner provided in this Section 2.10(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this Section 2.10, (1) the Administrative Agent shall direct the application of the Collateral proceeds in respect of
Collateral of the Company and the Domestic Guarantors and payments by the Company or Domestic Guarantors, as same are applied pursuant to any clauses “FIRST” through “SIXTH” above, same shall be applied within the respective such
clause (I) first, to outstanding obligations of Company and its Domestic Subsidiaries (other than in their capacities as guarantors of obligations of the Dutch Borrower or any other Foreign Subsidiary) and (II) second, after all obligations
pursuant to the respective clause as described in preceding clause (I) have been repaid in full, ratably among all other obligations of the type otherwise described in the respective such clause, and (2) neither the Dutch Borrower nor
Alliance AG shall be required to repay or prepay, or to guarantee, nor shall any amount paid by the Dutch Borrower, Alliance AG or any other Foreign Subsidiary be applied to, direct obligations (excluding obligations as guarantor of the Dutch
Borrower or Alliance AG or any other Foreign Subsidiary) of the Company or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries. 
 Section 2.11
Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. 
  

	 	(a)	 Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Extension of Credit that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Extension of Credit, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on
such date in accordance with this Agreement and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Extension of Credit
available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Applicable Borrower agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith 

  

 54 

	 	 
on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Applicable Borrower
to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Applicable Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans. If the Applicable Borrower and such Lender shall pay such
interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Applicable Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Applicable Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its
share of the applicable Extension of Credit to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Extension of Credit. Any payment by the Applicable Borrower shall be without prejudice to any
claim the Applicable Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 

  

	 	(b)	Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Applicable Borrower prior to the date on
which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders hereunder that the Applicable Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Applicable Borrower has made
such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Applicable Borrower has not in fact made such
payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, with interest thereon, for each
day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 

 A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Applicable
Borrower with respect to any amount owing under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 Section 2.12 Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this ARTICLE II, and such
funds are not made available to the Applicable Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Extension of Credit set forth in ARTICLE IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms thereof, the
Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender. 
  

 55 

	 	(a)	Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Revolving Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans and to make
payments pursuant to Section 9.7 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any such payment under Section 9.7 on any date required hereunder
shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under
Section 9.7. 

  

	 	(b)	Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by
any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 

 Section 2.13 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if (i) the Administrative Agent shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding
absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, or (ii) the Required Lenders shall reasonably determine that the
LIBOR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding LIBOR Rate Loans that the Administrative Borrower has requested be outstanding as a LIBOR Rate Loan during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall
forthwith give telephone notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the Applicable Borrower and the Lenders at least two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period. Unless the Administrative Borrower shall have
notified the Administrative Agent upon receipt of such telephone notice that it wishes to rescind or modify its request regarding such LIBOR Rate Loans, any Loans that were requested to be made as LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made as Alternate Base
Rate Loans and any Loans that were requested to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Rate Loans shall be converted into Alternate Base Rate Loans. Until any such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Loans shall be
made as, continued as, or converted into, LIBOR Rate Loans for the Interest Periods so affected. 
 Section 2.14 Illegality.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the adoption of or any change after the date hereof in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by the relevant Governmental Authority to any Lender shall make
it unlawful for such Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans as contemplated by this Agreement or to obtain in the interbank eurodollar market through its LIBOR Lending Office the funds with which to make such Loans,
(a) such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower thereof, (b) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make LIBOR Rate Loans or continue LIBOR Rate Loans as such shall forthwith be suspended
until the Administrative Agent shall give notice that the condition or situation which gave rise to the suspension shall no longer exist, and (c) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as LIBOR Rate Loans, if any, shall be converted on the
last day of the 

  

 56 

 
Interest Period for such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law as Alternate Base Rate Loans. The Applicable Borrower hereby agrees promptly
to pay any Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for actual and direct costs (but not including anticipated profits) reasonably incurred by such Lender in making any repayment in accordance with this
Section including, but not limited to, any interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this
Section submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Administrative Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (including reasonable efforts to change its LIBOR
Lending Office) to avoid or to minimize any amounts which may otherwise be payable pursuant to this Section; provided, however, that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of any additional costs or legal or
regulatory burdens reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material. 
 Section 2.15 Requirements of Law. 
  

	 	(a)	If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof: 

 (i) shall
subject such Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Letter of Credit, any Participation Interest therein or any application relating thereto, any LIBOR Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such
Lender in respect thereof (except for changes in the rate of tax on the net income of such Lender); 
 (ii) shall impose, modify or hold
applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by,
any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder; or 
 (iii) shall impose on such
Lender any other condition; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans or the
Letters of Credit (or the Participation Interests therein) or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder or under any Note in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Applicable Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any
additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which such Lender reasonably deems to be material as determined by such Lender with respect to its LIBOR Rate Loans or Letters of Credit;
provided that no such amount shall be payable to the extent incurred more than 90 days prior to the date such Lender (or the Administrative Agent) first notifies the Applicable Borrower of its intention to demand compensation therefor under
this Section 2.15(a); provided further that, if the change, 

  

 57 

 
interpretation or introduction giving rise to such increased costs, reductions or other amounts is retroactive, then the 90 day period referred to above
shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Administrative Borrower shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (including reasonable efforts to change its Domestic Lending Office or LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be) to avoid or to minimize any amounts which
might otherwise be payable pursuant to this paragraph of this Section; provided, however, that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens reasonably deemed by such
Lender to be material. 
  

	 	(b)	If any Lender shall have reasonably determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application
thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or Governmental Authority made subsequent to the
date hereof does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its Loans, Participation Interests and other obligations hereunder to a level below that which such
Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such
Lender to be material, then from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender, the Applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount as shall be certified by such Lender as being required to compensate it
for such reduction; provided that no such amount shall be payable to the extent incurred more than 90 days prior to the date such Lender (or the Administrative Agent) first notifies the Applicable Borrower of its intention to demand
compensation under this Section 2.15(b); provided further that, if the change, interpretation or introduction giving rise to such increased costs, reductions or other amounts is retroactive, then the 90 day period referred to
above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable under this Section submitted by a Lender (which certificate shall include a description of the basis for the
computation), through the Administrative Agent, to the Administrative Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

 Section 2.16 Indemnity. 
  

	 	(a)	 The Company hereby agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold such Lender harmless from any funding loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a
consequence of (i) default by the Company in payment of the principal amount of or interest on any Loan by such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, (ii) default by the 

  

 58 

	 	 
Company in accepting a borrowing after the Company has given a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with the terms hereof, (iii) default by the Company in
making any prepayment after the Company has given a notice therefor in accordance with the terms hereof, (iv) the making by the Company of a prepayment of a Loan, or the conversion thereof, on a day which is not the last day of the Interest
Period with respect thereto, in each case including, but not limited to, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its Loans hereunder and/or (v) the
replacement or removal of any Lender in accordance with Section 2.22. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Administrative Borrower (which
certificate must be delivered to the Administrative Agent within sixty (60) days following such default, prepayment or conversion) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The agreements in this Section shall survive termination of
this Agreement and payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

  

	 	(b)	The Dutch Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold such Lender harmless from any funding loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence
of (i) default by the Dutch Borrower in payment of the principal amount of or interest on any Loan by such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, (ii) default by the Dutch Borrower in accepting a borrowing after the Dutch Borrower (or
the Administrative Borrower on behalf of the Dutch Borrower) has given a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with the terms hereof, (iii) default by the Dutch Borrower in making any prepayment after the Dutch Borrower (or the Administrative
Borrower on behalf of the Dutch Borrower) has given a notice therefor in accordance with the terms hereof, (iv) the making by the Dutch Borrower of a prepayment of a Loan, or the conversion thereof, on a day which is not the last day of the
Interest Period with respect thereto, in each case including, but not limited to, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its Loans hereunder and/or
(v) the replacement or removal of any Lender in accordance with Section 2.22. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Administrative
Borrower (which certificate must be delivered to the Administrative Agent within sixty (60) days following such default, prepayment or conversion) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The agreements in this Section shall
survive termination of this Agreement and payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

  

 59 

 Section 2.17 Taxes. 
  

	 	(a)	Any and all payments by the Credit Parties hereunder or under the Notes shall be made, except as provided in Section 2.17(g), 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 (all such present or future taxes levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all
liabilities with respect thereto being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”), excluding in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, backup withholding taxes imposed by the United States (other than backup withholding
taxes imposed as a result of a change in law after the Effective Date) and taxes imposed on or measured by all or part of its net income, branch profits taxes, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such
Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof or, in the case of each Lender, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all
such excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Excluded Taxes”). If a Credit Party shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum
payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) if such Taxes are not Excluded Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) such Credit Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Credit Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. 

  

	 	(b)	In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary, each of the Borrowers agrees to pay (i) any present or future stamp,
documentary or intangibles taxes or any other similar taxes, charges or levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise similarly with respect to, this Agreement,
the Notes or any of the other Credit Documents and (ii) any present or future stamp, documentary or intangibles taxes, withholding taxes (to the extent not recovered or recoverable by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders through applicable
tax treaties) or any other similar taxes, charges or levies which arise from the enforcement of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Credit Document (such taxes, charges and levies
referred to in clauses (i) and (ii), hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”), in each case with respect to such Borrower’s Loans. 

  

 60 

	 	(c)	Each of the Credit Parties will indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) or Other Taxes (including, without
limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.17) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and
expenses, but excluding any liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable) 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 sixty (60) days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. The Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming
indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.17(c) shall make written demand therefor no later than one (1) year after the earlier of (i) the date on which such Lender or the Administrative Agent makes payment of such
Taxes or Other Taxes and (ii) the date on which the appropriate Governmental Authority makes written demand on such Lender or the Administrative Agent for payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes. 

  

	 	(d)	If a Lender or the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion than it has actually received or realized a refund, credit or reduction in respect of Taxes or Other Taxes
as to which it has been indemnified by a Credit Party, or with respect to which a Credit Party has made payments pursuant to this Section 2.17 (a “Tax Benefit”), such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall pay
over the amount of such Tax Benefit to such Credit Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made or other amounts paid by such Credit Party under this Section 2.17 with respect to such Taxes or Other Taxes), net of all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or the Administrative Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such Tax Benefit); provided that (i) such Credit Party
(upon the written request of such Lender or the Administrative Agent) agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Credit Party to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (together with any interest payable to the relevant Governmental Authority) in
the event such Lender or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such Tax Benefit to such Governmental Authority and (ii) the Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may determine, in its sole discretion consistent with the
policies of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, whether to seek a Tax Benefit. Nothing in this Section 2.17 shall require a Lender to provide its tax returns or confidential tax planning information to a
Credit Party. 

  

	 	(e)	Within forty-five (45) days after the date of any payment of Taxes by a Credit Party, such Credit Party will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address set forth in
Section 9.2, the original or a certified copy of a receipt (if any) evidencing payment thereof. 

  

 61 

	 	(f)	With respect to any Loan or other Extension of Credit to the Company, each Lender that is a non-resident alien or is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United
States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement (or, in the case of any Person becoming a Lender after the Effective Date, on or prior to the effective date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it
becomes a Lender), from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Company, and upon any change in designation of the Lender’s Applicable Lending Office (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide
the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent (i) if such Lender is not a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a duly completed original U.S. Treasury Department Form W-8 BEN (or successor form)
certifying that such Lender is not a United States citizen or resident (or that such Lender is filing for a foreign corporation, partnership, estate or trust) and providing the name and address of the Lender, together with a certificate representing
that it is not a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and is not a ten percent (10%) shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) with respect to the Company, or (ii) if such Lender
is a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a duly completed original U.S. Treasury Department Form W-8 BEN or Form W-8 ECI (or successor form), whichever is applicable, properly claiming complete exemption from
United States withholding tax on payments by the Company pursuant to this Agreement and under the Notes. 

  

	 	(g)	 The Credit Parties shall not be required to indemnify any Lender or the Administrative Agent, or to pay any other amount to any such Lender or the Administrative
Agent, in respect of any Tax pursuant to this Section 2.17 to the extent that: (i) with respect to any Loan or other Extension of Credit to the Company, in the case of a Lender that is a non-resident alien or is organized
under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, the obligation to make such indemnification or to pay such other amount would not have arisen but for a failure by such non-resident Lender to comply with the provisions of
Section 2.17(f), unless such failure is due to a change in law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided; provided, however, that should a Lender be subject to
withholding Tax because of such failure, the Company shall take such steps (at Lender’s expense) as the Lender shall reasonably request in writing to assist the Lender to recover such Tax; or (ii) such Tax was applicable on the date such
Lender or Administrative Agent became a party to this Agreement or, with respect to payments to a new Applicable Lending Office, the date such Lender designated such Applicable Lending Office; provided, however, that this clause
(ii) shall not apply to (A) any Lender or new Applicable Lending Office that 

  

 62 

	 	 
becomes a Lender or Applicable Lending Office as a result of an assignment or designation made at the request of a Borrower; provided further
that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the extent the indemnity payment or other amount any transferee Lender, or a Lender through a new Applicable Lending Office, would be entitled to receive does not exceed the indemnity payment or other
amount that the Lender making the assignment, or making the designation of such new Applicable Lending Office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment or designation and (B) any Tax under the laws of any country
other than the United States. 

  

	 	(h)	In the event that a Lender that originally provided such form as may be required under Section 2.17(f) thereafter ceases to qualify for complete exemption from
United States withholding tax, such Lender may assign its interest under this Agreement to any Eligible Assignee in accordance with Section 9.6 and such Eligible Assignee shall be entitled to the same benefits under this
Section 2.17 as the assignor provided that the rate of United States withholding tax (and the rate of any Taxes or Other Taxes) applicable to such Eligible Assignee on the date of such assignment shall not exceed the rate
then applicable to the assignor. 

  

	 	(i)	The agreements in this Section 2.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Credit Party Obligations for a period of sixty
(60) days after the Maturity Date. 

  

	 	(j)	With respect to any Loan or other Extension of Credit to the Dutch Borrower, if, as a result of a change in any Requirement of Law, any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall
become entitled to payment pursuant to this Section 2.17, such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall, following the written request of the Dutch Borrower, provide documentation reasonably necessary to obtain any available
exemption from or reduction of the Taxes or Other Taxes resulting in such payments; provided, however, that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of any additional costs that are not reimbursed by the Dutch
Borrower or legal or regulatory burdens reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material. 

 Section 2.18
Indemnification; Nature of Issuing Lenders’ Duties. 
  

	 	(a)	 In addition to its other obligations under Section 2.3, the Applicable Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save each Issuing
Lender and each Revolving Lender, as the case may be, harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that such Issuing Lender or such
Revolving Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for the account of such Borrower,

or (ii) the failure of such Issuing Lender to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender as a result of any act or omission,
whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or governmental authority (all such acts or omissions, herein called “Government Acts”). 

  

	 	(b)	As between any Applicable Borrower and each Issuing Lender and each Revolving Lender, as the case may be, such Applicable Borrower shall assume all risks of the acts, omissions or
misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. Neither any Issuing Lender nor any Revolving Lender shall be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any
party in connection with the application for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any
instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason;
(iii) failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon a Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail,
cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under a
Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; and (vii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Lender or any Revolving Lender, including, without limitation, any Government Acts. None of the above shall affect,
impair, or prevent the vesting of the Issuing Lender’s rights or powers hereunder. 

  

	 	(c)	In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender or any Revolving Lender, as
the case may be, under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not put such Issuing Lender or such Revolving Lender under any
resulting liability to a Borrower. It is the intention of the parties that this Credit Agreement shall be construed and applied to protect and indemnify each Issuing Lender and each Revolving Lender against any and all risks involved in the issuance
of the Letters of Credit, all of which risks are hereby assumed by the Applicable Borrower, including, without limitation, any and all risks of the acts or omissions, whether rightful or wrongful, of any Governmental Authority. The Issuing Lenders
and the Revolving Lenders shall not, in any way, be liable for any failure by such Issuing Lender or anyone else to pay any drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender as a result of any Government Acts or any other cause beyond
the control of such Issuing Lender and the Revolving Lenders. 

  

 64 

	 	(d)	Nothing in this Section 2.18 is intended to limit the Reimbursement Obligation of the Applicable Borrower contained in Section 2.3(d) hereof.
The obligations of any Applicable Borrower under this Section 2.18 shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement. No act or omissions of any current or prior beneficiary of a Letter of Credit shall in any way affect or
impair the rights of the Issuing Lender which issued such Letter of Credit and the Revolving Lenders to enforce any right, power or benefit under this Credit Agreement. 

  

	 	(e)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.18, the Applicable Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify any Issuing Lender or any
Revolving Lender in respect of any liability incurred by such Issuing Lender or such Revolving Lender, as the case may be, to the extent it arises out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender or such Revolving Lender as
the case may be, respectively, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment. 

 Section 2.19
Administrative Borrower as Agent for the Dutch Borrower. 
  

	 	(a)	The Dutch Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Borrower as its borrowing agent and attorney–in–fact which appointment shall remain in full force and
effect unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by the Administrative Borrower that it has resigned such position. The Dutch Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative
Borrower to (i) provide all notices and instructions under this Agreement or any other Credit Document and (ii) take such action as the Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Loans and to exercise such other
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. 

  

	 	(b)	 The Dutch Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each Lender, each Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent and hold each Lender, each Issuing
Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent by the
Dutch Borrower or any third party, arising from or incurred by reason of the (i) Lenders’, the Issuing Lenders’, the Swingline Lender’s, or the Administrative Agent’s relying on any instructions of the Administrative
Borrower on behalf of the Dutch Borrower or (ii) any other action taken by the Lenders hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, except that the Dutch Borrower will have no liability under this Section 2.19(b) with
respect to any liability to the extent arising out of the 

  

 65 

	 	 
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender, such Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment. 

 Section 2.20 Obligations of
Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything in this Credit Agreement or in the other Credit Documents to the contrary (including, without limitation, Section 2.6, Section 2.10 and ARTICLE XI), the parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that (a) each of the Borrowers, in its capacity as a Borrower hereunder, is not jointly and severally liable for the Credit Party Obligations of the other Borrower; provided that it is acknowledged and agreed that
the Company has guaranteed the Credit Party Obligations of the Dutch Borrower pursuant to ARTICLE XI and that the Dutch Borrower has not guaranteed the Credit Party Obligations of the Company and (b) neither the Dutch Borrower nor Alliance AG
shall be required to repay or prepay, or to guarantee, nor shall any amount paid by the Dutch Borrower or Alliance AG be applied to, any Credit Party Obligations of the Company. 
 Section 2.21 Parallel Debt. 
  

	 	(a)	Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Administrative Agent amounts equal to any amounts owing by such Credit Party to any Lender with
respect to the Credit Party Obligations as and when those amounts become due for payment so that the Administrative Agent shall be the obligee of such covenant to pay and shall be entitled to claim performance thereof in its own name and on behalf
of itself and not only as trustee, agent or representative acting on behalf of the Lenders. 

  

	 	(b)	Each Credit Party and the Administrative Agent acknowledge that the monetary obligations of each Credit Party to the Administrative Agent under Section 2.21(a)
are and/or shall be several and are and/or shall be separate and independent from, and do and/or shall not in any way affect, the corresponding monetary obligations of such Credit Party to any Lender with respect to the Credit Party Obligations
(such Credit Party’s “Corresponding Debt”) provided that: 

 (i) the amounts for which such Credit
Party is liable under Section 2.21(a) (such Credit Party’s “Parallel Debt”) shall be decreased to the extent that such Credit Party’s Corresponding Debt has been irrevocably paid or (in the case of any
guaranty obligations) discharged; 
 (ii) the Corresponding Debt of such Credit Party shall be decreased to the extent that such Credit
Party’s Parallel Debt has been irrevocably paid or (in the case of guaranty obligations) discharged; 
  

 66 

 (iii) the Parallel Debt of any Credit Party shall not exceed the Corresponding Debt of such Credit
Party; and 
 (iv) each Credit Party shall have the same defenses against the Parallel Debt which it has against the Corresponding Debt.

  

	 	(c)	For purposes of this Section 2.21, the Administrative Agent acts in its own name and on behalf of itself and not as a trustee, agent or representative of any
party hereto, and any claim made by the Administrative Agent in respect of the Parallel Debt shall not be held in trust. The security interests granted under the Security Documents to the Administrative Agent to secure the Parallel Debt is granted
to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as creditor in respect of the Parallel Debt and shall not be held in trust. 

  

	 	(d)	All monies received or recovered by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.21, and all amounts received or recovered by the Administrative Agent from
or by the enforcement of any security interests granted to secure the Parallel Debt, shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.10. 

  

	 	(e)	Without limiting or affecting the Administrative Agent’s rights against the Credit Parties (whether under this Section 2.21 or under any other provision of
the Credit Documents), each Credit Party acknowledges that: 

 (i) nothing in this Section 2.21 shall impose
any obligation on the Administrative Agent to advance any sum to any Credit Party or otherwise under any Credit Document in its capacity as Administrative Agent; and 
 (ii) for the purpose of any vote taken under any Credit Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any participation or commitment in its capacity as Administrative Agent. 
  

	 	(f)	Each Credit Party and the Administrative Agent acknowledge and agree, for the avoidance of doubt, that the rules under Netherlands law that apply in the event of a common property
(gemeenschap) are not applicable, and shall not apply by analogy, to the relationship between the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and the relationship among the Credit Parties. 

  

 67

obligation of any Lender to make or to convert or continue outstanding Loans as or into LIBOR Rate Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 2.14 (unless generally suspended for all Lenders), (ii) any Lender has demanded

the relevant Incremental Revolving Commitment Agreement, make Revolving Loans and participate in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans pursuant thereto; provided that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Revolving

 72 

 ARTICLE III 
 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 To induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the
Extensions of Credit herein provided for, each of the Credit Parties hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and to each Lender that: 
 Section 3.1 Financial Condition. 
  

	 	(a)	The consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than the Zimbabwe Subsidiaries) as of March 31, 2009 and the related consolidated statements of
income, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the fiscal period then ended, reported on by Deloitte & Touche and set forth in the Company’s 2009 Form 10-K, a copy of which has been delivered to each of the Lenders, fairly
present in all material respects in conformity with GAAP the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than the Zimbabwe Subsidiaries) as of such date and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for
such fiscal year. The Company and its Subsidiaries did not, as of March 31, 2009, have any material, either individually or in the aggregate, liabilities or obligations which are not reflected in any of such financial statements or notes
thereto to the extent required to be set forth therein in accordance with GAAP. 

  

	 	(b)	The eleven-year projections of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the period beginning April 1, 2009 and ending March 31, 2020 made available to the Lenders prior to the
date hereof have been prepared in good faith based upon reasonable assumptions at the time such projections were made. 

 Section 3.2 No Change. Since March 31, 2009 there has been no development or event which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 3.3 Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the Credit Parties (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing (or the foreign equivalent, if any) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the requisite power and authority and the legal right to own and operate all its material property, to lease the material property
it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified to conduct business and in good standing (or the foreign equivalent, if any) under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership,
lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification except to the extent that the failure to so qualify or be in good standing (or the foreign equivalent, if any) could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

  

 73 

 Section 3.4 Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations; No Consents. Each of the
Credit Parties has full power and authority and the legal right to make, deliver and perform the Credit Documents to which it is party and has taken all necessary limited liability company or corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and
performance by it of the Credit Documents to which it is party. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the borrowings
hereunder or with the execution, delivery or performance of any Credit Document by the Credit Parties, other than those which have been obtained) or with the validity or enforceability of any Credit Document against the Credit Parties. Each Credit
Document to which it is a party has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each of the Credit Parties, as the case may be. Each Credit Document to which it is a party constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the Credit
Parties, as the case may be, enforceable against such Credit Party, as the case may be, in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting
the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). 
 Section 3.5 No Legal Bar; No Default. The execution, delivery and performance of the Credit Documents, the borrowings thereunder and the use of the proceeds of the Loans will not violate any Requirement of
Law, any organizational document or any material Contractual Obligation of the Credit Parties or their Subsidiaries (except those as to which waivers or consents have been obtained or notices given), and will not result in, or require, the creation
or imposition of any Lien on any of its or their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation, except as contemplated by this Agreement. Neither the Credit Parties nor any of their Subsidiaries is in
default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 Section 3.6 No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority
is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Credit Parties, threatened by or against any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of its or their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to the Credit Documents or any
Loan or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, or (b) which has had or could reasonably be expected to have either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 3.7 Investment Company Act; etc. No Credit Party is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an
“investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Credit Party is subject to regulation under any federal or state statute or regulation limiting its ability to incur the Credit Party
Obligations. 
 Section 3.8 Margin Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loan hereunder will be used directly or indirectly
for any purpose which violates, or which is inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as now and from time to time hereafter in effect. Each of the Borrowers and the Credit
Parties and their 

  

 74 

 
Subsidiaries taken as a group do not own “margin stock” except as identified in the financial statements referred to in
Section 3.1 and the aggregate value of all “margin stock” owned by such Borrower or by the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries taken as a group does not exceed 25% of the value of its and their assets. 
 Section 3.9 ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor an “accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 412 of
the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Single Employer Plan, except to the extent that any such Reportable Event or
“accumulated funding deficiency” would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Single Employer Plan is in compliance with its terms and the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, except to the extent that
any such occurrence or failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No termination of a Single Employer Plan, or the institution of proceedings, or an event or condition which would reasonably be expected to
constitute grounds for the institution of proceedings by the PBGC under Section 4042 of ERISA for the termination of, or the appointment of a trustee to administer, any Single Employer Plan, has occurred resulting in any liability that has
remained underfunded, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Single Employer Plan has arisen, during such five-year period. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Single
Employer Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Single Employer Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by an amount which,
as determined in accordance with GAAP, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither any Credit Party nor any Commonly Controlled Entity is currently subject to any liability for a complete or partial withdrawal from a
Multiemployer Plan which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and, if each of the Credit Party, Subsidiary of a Credit Party and Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw in a complete withdrawal as of the date this
assurance is deemed given, the aggregate withdrawal liability that would be incurred would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Multiemployer Plan is Insolvent or in Reorganization. No Plan has applied for or received an
extension of any amortization period, within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 303 or 304 of ERISA. No action, suit, proceeding, hearing, audit or investigation with respect to the administration, operation or the
investment of assets of any Plan (other than routine claims for benefits) is pending, expected or threatened. Each Non-U.S. Plan has been maintained in substantial compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable laws,
statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities, except to the extent that any such occurrence or failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. All contributions required to be made with respect to a Non-U.S. Plan have been timely made, except to the extent that any such occurrence or failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any obligation in connection with the termination of, or withdrawal from, any Non-U.S. Plan which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 3.10 Environmental Matters. 
 Subject to the last sentence hereof: 
  

	 	(a)	The on-going operations of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries comply in all respects with all Environmental Laws. 

  

 75 

	 	(b)	the Credit Parties and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all licenses, permits, authorizations and registrations required under any Environmental Law (“Environmental
Permits”) and necessary for their respective ordinary course operations, no Governmental Authority responsible for such Environmental Permits has threatened to revoke, refuse to reissue or materially limit such Environmental Permits, and
the Credit Parties and each of their Subsidiaries are in compliance with all material terms and conditions of such Environmental Permits. 

  

	 	(c)	None of the Credit Parties or their Subsidiaries or any of their respective present assets or operations, is subject to, any outstanding written order from, or agreement with, any

 ARTICLE VIII 
 THE AGENT 
 Section 8.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Lender hereby
irrevocably appoints Deutsche Bank to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and
the Issuing Lender, and neither the Borrowers nor any other Credit Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 
 By accepting the benefits of this Agreement and each other Security Document, the Secured Parties expressly agree to the terms of Article VIII (including the provisions of this Section 8.1 of this Agreement relating
to the role of the Administrative Agent) and reaffirm the appointment of Deutsche Bank (and any of its successors or assigns) as Administrative Agent acting on behalf of all of the Secured Parties with respect to each Credit Document which shall
include execution of the Credit Documents to which such Secured Party is a party (and which it is required to enter into) on its behalf. 
 Section 8.2 Nature of Duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, the Arrangers or other agents listed on the cover page hereof (other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender)
shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity as a Lender hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have
or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not
taking action hereunder. 
 The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or
under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through
their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in
connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
  

 118 

 Section 8.3 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or
obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 
  

	 	(a)	shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; 

  

	 	(b)	shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other
Credit Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Credit Documents),
provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law;
and 

  

	 	(c)	shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information
relating to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 

 The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders
(or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.1 and 7.2) or
(ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the
Borrower, a Lender or the Issuing Lender. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire
into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection
herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or
genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in ARTICLE IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly
required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
  

 119 

 Section 8.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other
distribution) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to
have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon in good faith. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must
be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume in good faith that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 
 Section 8.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or
Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of
default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take
such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken,
or not taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of the Required Lenders, or all of the Lenders, as the case may be. 
 Section 8.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the Issuing Lender expressly acknowledges that no Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates
has made any representation or warranty to it and that no act by any Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Credit Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender or the
Issuing Lender. Each Lender and the Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related
Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any related
agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
  

 120 

 Section 8.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each of the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Lender, and the Swingline Lender in their capacities hereunder and their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation
of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (to the extent the Revolving Commitment has been terminated the Revolving
Commitment Percentages shall by deemed to be the Revolving Commitment Percentages immediately prior to such termination of the Revolving Commitment, but giving effect to assignments effected thereafter in accordance with the requirements of
Section 9.6(b)), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any
time following the payment of the Credit Party Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of any Credit Document or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or
therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by any such indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any
portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent resulting from such indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final judgment. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the Notes, any Reimbursement Obligation and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 Section 8.8 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each of the Persons serving as Agents hereunder shall have the same rights and
powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not such Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context
otherwise requires, include each of the Persons serving as Agents hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and
generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 
 Section 8.9 Successor Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders,
the Issuing Lenders and the Borrowers. Any such resignation by an Administrative Agent hereunder shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall not
be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or make any additional Swingline Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, with respect to any Letters of Credit issued
by it, or Swingline Loans made by it, prior to the date of such resignation. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrowers, to appoint a successor. If no such successor
shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf
of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the 

  

 121 

 
Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment within forty-five (45) days after the notice of resignation, then such
resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case
of any Collateral held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral for the benefit of the Lenders until such
time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Lender
directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed
to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the
other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed
between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.5 shall continue in effect for the
benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

 (b) The Required Lenders may at any time when the Administrative Agent has become the subject of a proceeding under any
Debtor Relief Law, or had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, upon no less than thirty (30) days’ prior notice, replace the Administrative Agent. The successor Administrative Agent shall not be the subject of a
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, or had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it and shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the replaced Administrative Agent, and the
replaced Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. The provisions of this Article and Section 9.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such replaced Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their
respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the replaced Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. Any such replacement of an Administrative Agent hereunder shall
automatically, and with no further action required on the part of the Administrative Agent, constitute the resignation of the Administrative Agent in its capacity as an Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, in which case the replaced
Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or make any additional Swingline Loans 

  

 122 

 
hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, with respect to any Letters of Credit
issued by it, or Swingline Loans made by it, prior to the date of such replacement. 
 Section 8.10 Collateral and Guaranty
Matters.

 (i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Credit Document (A) upon termination of the
Revolving Commitments and payment in full of all Credit Party Obligations (other than Unasserted Obligations to which the Administrative Agent has no actual knowledge thereof) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (B) that
is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under Section 6.4, or (C) subject to Section 9.1, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the
Required Lenders; 
 (ii) to subordinate or release (provided that, for any release, the Company shall certify the respective clause
pursuant to Section 6.2 (as listed below) which permits the respective release and shall, in the case of any release pursuant to Section 6.2(m) or (s), certify that the fair market value of all Collateral for which such releases have been
requested do not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness which is permitted to be then outstanding pursuant to the relevant said clauses of Section 6.2) any Lien on any Property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under
any Credit Document to the holder of any Lien on such Property that is permitted by Section 6.2(i), (j), (m) or (s); and 
 (iii) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Guarantor as a result of a transaction
permitted by Section 6.4(c)(ii). 
  

	 	(b)	In connection with a termination or release pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to the applicable Credit Party, at the
Borrowers’ expense, all documents that the applicable Credit Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release, as applicable. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in
writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to terminate, release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of Property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section.

any Credit Document shall in any event be effective, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action; 
 (vi) permit a Letter of Credit to have an original expiry date more than twelve (12) months from the date of issuance without the consent of each of

 Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the consent of the Borrowers shall not be required for any amendment, modification or waiver of the provisions of ARTICLE VIII (other than the provisions of Section 8.9
and Section 8.10); provided, however, that the Administrative Agent will provide written notice to the Borrowers of any such amendment, modification or waiver. 
  

 125 

 Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set
forth above, (x) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersede the
unanimous consent provisions set forth herein and (y) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Credit Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.1, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Incremental Lender may, in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.23, enter into an Incremental Revolving Commitment Agreement, provided that after the execution and delivery by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each such Incremental Lender of such
Incremental Revolving Commitment Agreement, such Incremental Revolving Commitment Agreement may thereafter only be modified in accordance with the requirements of this Section 2.23.

 126 

 Section 9.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties
made hereunder and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes and the making of the Loans, provided that all such

 Section 9.5 Payment of Expenses and Taxes. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree, (a) to pay or reimburse the Agents and the Sole
Lead Arranger for all their reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation, printing and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, reasonable field examination expenses
and charges), together with the reasonable fees and disbursements of one outside counsel (and such additional local counsel as reasonably necessary as determined by the Administrative Agent) to the Agents and the Sole Lead Arranger, (b) to pay
or reimburse the Agents and the Sole Lead Arranger for all their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the arrangement and syndication of the facilities established by this Agreement and of each Issuing Lender and the
Swingline Lender in connection with the Back-Stop Arrangements entered into by such Persons, (c) to pay or reimburse each Lender and each Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any
rights under, or defense against any actions arising out of, this Agreement, the Notes and any such other documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agents and to the Lenders (including

Credit Documents, the Borrowers’ use of Loan proceeds or the Revolving Commitments, including, without limitation, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp,
excise and other similar taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or
modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, the Credit Documents and any such other documents, and (e) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, the Agents, the Arrangers and their Affiliates (each an “indemnified
party”) harmless from and against, any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation,
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agents, the Lenders and the Arrangers (including reasonable allocated costs of in-house legal counsel) and settlement costs), which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time
following the payment of the Credit Party Obligations) be imposed or incurred with respect to the enforcement of the Credit Documents and the use, or proposed use, of proceeds of the Loans (all of the foregoing, collectively, the
“indemnified liabilities”); provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not have any obligation hereunder to an indemnified party with respect to indemnified liabilities to the extent arising from the gross 

  

 127 

 
negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified party, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment. Each of the Borrowers and
Guarantors agree, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, that each such Borrower and each such Guarantor shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any indemnified party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or incidental damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby,
any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. The agreements in this Section 9.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans, Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 Section 9.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations. 
  

	 	(a)	Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that neither any Borrower nor any other Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no
Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the
provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party
hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent
provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Agreement. 

  

	 	(b)	Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 

 (i) Minimum Amounts. 
 (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and 
  

 128 

 (B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the
Revolving Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment
(determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be
less than $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of a Revolving Commitment, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Borrower otherwise consents
(each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 
 (C) The amount transferred to and paid by an assignee in relation to a
Loan or Lender’s Revolving Commitment made to the Dutch Borrower or any other Borrower organized under the laws of the Netherlands, if any, shall be at least EUR 50,000 (or the equivalent in Dollars or any other currency) or, if less, the
assignee shall confirm in writing to the Dutch Borrower or any other Borrower organized under the laws of the Netherlands, if any, that it is a PMP. 
 (ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan
or the Revolving Commitment assigned. 
 (iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent
required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition: 
 (A) the consent of the Administrative Borrower (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

 (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of a Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Revolving Commitment in respect of such facility. 
  

 129 

 (iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; provided that
only one such processing and recordation fee shall be required for simultaneous assignments by a Lender and its Affiliates and Approved Funds to a Lender and its Affiliates and Approved Funds. 
 (v) No Assignment to Borrowers. No such assignment shall be made to a Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

 (vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person. 
 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement,
and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.17 and 9.5 with respect to facts and
circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as
a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section. 
  

	 	(c)	 Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each
Assignment and Assumption and each Incremental Revolving Commitment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing
to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers
and any Lender, at any 

  

 130 

	 	 
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No assignment shall be effective for purpose of this Agreement unless it has been
recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 

  

	 	(d)	Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person
(other than a natural person or the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all
or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto
for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement. 

 Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide
that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.7 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.10 as though it were a Lender. 
  

	 	(e)	Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.15 and 2.17 than the
applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Administrative Borrower’s prior written consent. A
Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for
the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.17 as though it were a Lender. 

  

	 	(f)	 Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure
obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank without having the requirements of this Section apply to such pledge or assignment; provided that no such pledge or assignment
shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or 

  

 131 

	 	 
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto unless and until the requirements for assignment are satisfied in connection with
such pledge or assignment. 

  

	 	(g)	Tax Forms. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 9.6 to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United States
person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall provide to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms
described in Section 2.17. 

 Section 9.7 Adjustments; Set-off. 
  

	 	(a)	Each Lender agrees that if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any
collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 7.1(e), or otherwise) in a greater proportion (based on the amount owing to
various lenders) than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating
interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment
or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be
rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrowers agree that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Loans may exercise all rights of payment (including,
without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion. 

  

	 	(b)	 In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off), each Lender shall have the right,
without prior notice to the Company, any such notice being expressly waived by the Company to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, to setoff and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such
Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Company, or any part thereof in such amounts as such Lender may 

  

 132 

	 	 
elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the Company to such Lender hereunder and claims of every nature and description of such
Lender against the Company, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Notes or under any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, as such Lender may elect, whether or not such Lender has made any demand for payment and
although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The aforesaid right of set-off may be exercised by such Lender against the Company or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit
of creditors, receiver or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of the Company, or against anyone else claiming through or against the Company or any such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors,
receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off shall not have been exercised by such Lender prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the
Company and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

  

	 	(c)	 In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off), each Lender shall have the right,
without prior notice to the Dutch Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Dutch Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, to setoff and appropriate and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or
owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Dutch Borrower, or any part thereof in such amounts as such Lender may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the Dutch
Borrower to such Lender hereunder and claims of every nature and description of such Lender against the Dutch Borrower, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Notes or under any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or
therein, as such Lender may elect, whether or not such Lender has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The aforesaid right of set-off may be exercised by such Lender
against the Dutch Borrower or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of the Dutch Borrower, or against anyone else claiming through or
against the Dutch Borrower or any such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off shall not have
been exercised by such Lender prior to the 

  

 133 

	 	 
occurrence of any Event of Default. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Dutch Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and
application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Electronic Execution. 
  

	 	(a)	Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute
the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in

	 	(b)	Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption
shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping
system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar
state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 

 Section 9.10 Severability. Any provision of this
Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties accepts, for itself and in connection with its properties, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and

 For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any

Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such

 Section 9.15 Waivers of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR
THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT

 Section 9.16 Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not
on behalf of any other party) hereby notifies the Borrowers that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties, which information
includes the name and address of the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties in accordance with the
Patriot Act. 
 Section 9.17 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to
convert a sum due hereunder or under any other Credit Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first
currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each of the Credit Parties in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under
the other Credit Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than Dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or
such Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase Dollars with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of Dollars so purchased is
less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in Dollars, the Applicable Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender or the
Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of Dollars so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to
apply such excess to any Credit Party Obligations then due and payable in accordance with the terms of Section 2.10. 
 Section 9.18 Continuing Agreement. This Credit Agreement shall be a continuing agreement and shall remain in full force and effect until all Loans, LOC Obligations, interest, fees and other Credit Party Obligations (other than
Unasserted Obligations) have been paid in full and all Commitments and Letters of Credit have been terminated (all of the foregoing, 

  

 137 

 
collectively, “Termination”); provided that it is acknowledged and agreed that the Unasserted Obligations shall survive Termination
and shall remain in full force in effect until satisfied in full. Upon Termination, the Credit Parties shall have no further obligations (other than Unasserted Obligations) under the Credit Documents and the Administrative Agent shall, at the
request and expense of the Borrowers, deliver all the Collateral in its possession to the Borrowers and release all Liens on the Collateral; provided that should any payment, in whole or in part, of the Credit Party Obligations be rescinded
or otherwise required to be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, then the Credit Documents shall automatically be reinstated and all
Liens of the Administrative Agent shall reattach to the Collateral and all amounts required to be restored or returned and all costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection therewith shall be deemed included as
part of the Credit Party Obligations. 
 Section 9.19 Foreign Pledge Agreements. 
  

	 	(a)	Authorizing Documents. Upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, at any time after the Effective Date and upon any Person becoming a Lender, each Lender shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent any authorizations, powers of attorney or other documents that are deemed reasonably necessary by the Administrative Agent with respect to the entry into any Foreign Pledge Agreement and the effectiveness of the
security interest granted in favor of the Lender as a Secured Party thereunder. 

  

	 	(b)	Argentina Power of Attorney. Without limiting the foregoing, after the execution and delivery of any pledge of Capital Stock of any Foreign Subsidiary organized under the

Schedule 9.19 (or such other form from time to time provided by the Administrative Agent) executed, properly notarized and authenticated by the appropriate Apostille, in accordance with the instructions set forth in Part B of Schedule 9.19 (or such
other instructions from time to time provided by the Administrative Agent). Each Lender, and each Person that becomes a Lender, acknowledges that the Extensions of Credit and Revolving Commitments of such Lender will not be secured by any Argentina
Stock Pledge (after the execution and delivery thereof) until the Argentina Power of Attorney has been properly executed, notarized and authenticated by the appropriate Apostille and delivered to the Administrative Agent and such Lender is added to
the relevant Argentina Stock Pledge agreement by the Administrative Agent and the actions contemplated in the respective Argentina Stock Pledge agreement shall have been taken. 

  

	 	(c)	Failure to Comply. Each Lender, and each Person that becomes a Lender, acknowledges that a failure by such Lender to comply with the provisions of this Section 9.19 may
result in such Lender not being secured by the Collateral pledged under such applicable Foreign Pledge Agreement.

 ARTICLE X 
 GUARANTY OF COMPANY OBLIGATIONS 
 Section 10.1 The Domestic Guaranty. In order to induce
the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and any Hedging Agreement Provider to enter into any Secured Hedging Agreement with the Company or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries and to extend credit hereunder and thereunder, and in recognition of the
direct benefits to be received by the Domestic Guarantors from the Extensions of Credit hereunder and the extensions of credit under any Secured Hedging Agreement, each of the Domestic Guarantors hereby agrees with the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders as follows: each Domestic Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably jointly and severally guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, by required
prepayment, declaration, demand, by acceleration or otherwise, of any and all indebtedness of the Company to the Secured Parties. If any or all of the indebtedness of the Company to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders becomes due and payable
hereunder, each Domestic Guarantor unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Secured Parties, or order, on demand, together with any and all reasonable expenses which may be incurred by the Secured Parties in collecting any of the
indebtedness. The word “indebtedness” is used in this ARTICLE X in its most comprehensive sense and includes any and all advances, debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, including all Credit Party Obligations of the Company,
arising in connection with this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any Secured Hedging Agreement, in each case, heretofore, now, or hereafter made, incurred or created, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, absolute or contingent, liquidated
or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, whether or not such indebtedness is from time to time reduced, or extinguished and thereafter increased or incurred, whether the Company may be liable individually or jointly with others, whether or not
recovery upon such indebtedness may be or hereafter become barred by any statute of limitations, and whether or not such indebtedness may be or hereafter become otherwise unenforceable. Each Domestic Guarantor understands, agrees and confirms that
the Secured Parties may enforce this Domestic Guaranty up to the full amount of all indebtedness of the Company against such Domestic Guarantor without proceeding against any other Domestic Guarantor, the Company or any other Domestic Guaranteed
Party, or against any security for all indebtedness of the Company, or under any other guaranty covering all or a portion of all indebtedness of the Company. The Domestic Guaranty set forth in this ARTICLE X is a guaranty of timely payment and not
of collection. 
 Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Credit Documents, to the extent the
obligations of a Domestic Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the
obligations of each such Domestic Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code) (it being understood that it is
the intention of the parties to this 

  

 139 

 
Domestic Guaranty that, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable laws, the liabilities in respect of the guarantees of the Existing Senior Notes
2007, the Senior Notes and the Convertible Notes and any other indebtedness for borrowed money, shall not be included for the foregoing purposes and that, if any reduction is required to the amount guaranteed by any Domestic Guarantor hereunder and
with respect to the Existing Senior Notes 2007, the Senior Notes, the Convertible Notes or any other indebtedness for borrowed money, that its guarantee of amounts owing in respect of the Existing Senior Notes 2007, the Senior Notes, the Convertible
Notes or any other indebtedness for borrowed money, as the case may be, shall first be reduced). 
 Section 10.2 Bankruptcy.
Additionally, each of the Domestic Guarantors absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees jointly and severally the payment of any and all indebtedness of the Company to the Secured Parties whether or not due or payable by the Company
upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 7.1(e), and unconditionally, absolutely, and irrevocably, jointly and severally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Secured Parties, or order, on demand, in lawful money of the United States. Each of the Domestic Guarantors further agrees that to the extent that the Company or a Domestic Guarantor shall make a payment or a transfer of an interest in any property
to any Secured Party, which payment or transfer or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, or otherwise is avoided, and/or required to be repaid to the Company or a Domestic Guarantor, the estate of
the Company or a Domestic Guarantor, a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such avoidance or repayment, the obligation or part thereof intended to
be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made. 
 Section 10.3 Nature of
Liability. The liability of each Domestic Guarantor hereunder is primary, absolute, joint and several, and unconditional, and is exclusive and independent of any security for or other Domestic Guaranty of the indebtedness of the Company whether
executed by any such Domestic Guarantor, any other Domestic Guarantor or by any other party, and no Domestic Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be affected or impaired by any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including, without
limitation:(a) any direction as to application of payment by the Company or by any other party, (b) any other continuing or other Domestic Guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a Domestic Guarantor or of any other party as to the
indebtedness of the Company, (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other Domestic Guaranty or undertaking, (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Company(e) the failure of the Domestic
Guarantor to receive any benefit from or as a result of its execution, delivery and performance of this Domestic Guaranty, (f) any action or inaction by the Secured Parties or (g) any invalidity, rescission, irregularity or
unenforceability of all or any part of the indebtedness of the Company or of any security therefor, or (h) any payment made to any Secured Party on the indebtedness which such Secured Party repay the Company pursuant to court order in any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each of the Domestic Guarantors waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding. 
 Section 10.4 Independent Obligation. The obligations of each Domestic Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other
Domestic Guarantor or the Company, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against 

  

 140 

 
each Domestic Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Domestic Guarantor or the Company and whether or not any other Domestic Guarantor
or the Company is joined in any such action or actions. Each Domestic Guarantor waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) the benefits of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any
payment by the Company or any other Domestic Guaranteed Party or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the Company or such other Domestic Guaranteed Party shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to
each Domestic Guarantor. 
 Section 10.5 Authorization. Each of the Domestic Guarantors authorizes each Secured Party without
notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to (a) renew, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise change
the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the indebtedness or any part thereof in accordance with this Agreement, including any increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon, (b) take and hold security from any Domestic
Guarantor or any other party for the payment of the Domestic Guaranty or the indebtedness and exchange, enforce waive and release any such security, (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders in their discretion may determine and (d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, Domestic Guarantors, the Company or other obligors. 
 Section 10.6 Reliance. It is not necessary for any Secured Party to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Company or the officers, directors, members, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on
its behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder. 
 Section 10.7 Waiver. 
  

	 	(a)	 Each of the Domestic Guarantors waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require the Administrative Agent, any
Lender or any Hedging Agreement Provider to (i) proceed against the Company, any other Domestic Guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Company, any other Domestic Guarantor or any other
party, or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s, any Lender’s or any Hedging Agreement Provider’s power whatsoever. Each of the Domestic Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense
of the Company, any other Domestic Guarantor or any other party other than payment in full in cash of the indebtedness, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of the Company, any other Domestic Guarantor
or any other party, or the unenforceability of the indebtedness or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Company other than payment in full in cash of the indebtedness. The Administrative Agent or
any of the Lenders may, at their election, exercise any right or remedy the Administrative Agent and any Lender may have against the Company or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way 

  

 141 

	 	 
the liability of any Domestic Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the indebtedness has been paid. The Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose
on any collateral serving as security held by the Administrative Agent, or the other Secured Parties by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is
permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Secured Parties may have against the Company, any other Domestic Guaranteed Party or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of
any Domestic Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the indebtedness of the Company has been paid in full in cash. Each of the Domestic Guarantors waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Administrative Agent and each of the
Lenders, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement, contribution, indemnification or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Domestic Guarantors against the Company or any other party.

  

	 	(b)	 Each of the Domestic Guarantors waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance,
notice of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of the Domestic Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional indebtedness and each Domestic Guarantor further hereby waives any and all notice of the
creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the indebtedness of the Company and notice or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon this Domestic Guaranty, and the indebtedness of the Company shall conclusively be deemed to have been
created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended, modified, supplemented or waived, in reliance upon this Domestic Guaranty. Each Domestic Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Company’s
financial condition, affairs and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the indebtedness and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which such Domestic Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and has
adequate means to obtain from the Company, each other Domestic Guaranteed Party and each other Domestic Guarantor on an ongoing basis information relating thereto and the Company’s, each other Domestic Guaranteed Party’s and each other
Domestic Guarantor’s ability to pay and perform its respective obligations with regard to the indebtedness of the Company, and agrees to assume the responsibility for keeping, and to keep, so informed for so long as this Domestic Guaranty is in
effect. Each Domestic Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (x) the Secured Parties shall have no obligation to investigate the financial condition or affairs of the Company, any other Domestic Guaranteed Party or any other Domestic Guarantor
for the benefit of such Domestic Guarantor nor to advise such Domestic Guarantor of any fact respecting, or any change in, the financial condition, assets or affairs of the Company, any other Domestic Guaranteed 

  

 142 

	 	 
Party or any other Domestic Guarantor that might become known to any Secured Parties at any time, whether or not such Secured Parties knows or believes or
has reason to know or believe that any such fact or change is unknown to such Domestic Guarantor, or might (or does) increase the risk of such Domestic Guarantor as guarantor hereunder, or might (or would) affect the willingness of such Domestic
Guarantor to continue as a guarantor of the indebtedness of the Company hereunder and (y) the Secured Parties shall have no duty to advise any Domestic Guarantor of information known to them regarding any of the aforementioned circumstances or
risks. 

  

	 	(c)	Each of the Domestic Guarantors hereby agrees it will not exercise any rights of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of the Domestic Guaranty (whether
contractual, under Section 509 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to the claims of any Secured Party against the Company or any other Domestic Guarantor of the indebtedness of the Company owing to any such Secured Party (collectively,
the “Other Parties”) and all contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any Other Party which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of the Domestic Guaranty until such time
as the Loans hereunder and all Credit Party Obligations (other than Unasserted Obligations) shall have been paid and the Revolving Commitments have been terminated. Each of the Domestic Guarantors hereby further agrees not to exercise any right to
enforce any other remedy which any Secured Party now has or may hereafter have against any Other Party, any endorser or any other Domestic Guarantor of all or any part of the indebtedness of the Company and any benefit of, and any right to
participate in, any security or collateral given to or for the benefit of the any such Secured Party to secure payment of the indebtedness of the Company until such time as the Loans hereunder and all Credit Party Obligations (other than Unasserted
Obligations) shall have been paid and the Revolving Commitments have been terminated. 

  

	 	(d)	Each Domestic Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that no Secured Party nor any other Person shall be under any obligation (a) to marshal any assets in favor of such
Domestic Guarantor or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of any Domestic Guaranteed Party under the Credit Documents or the obligation of such Domestic Guarantor hereunder or (b) to pursue any other remedy that such Domestic Guarantor
may or may not be able to pursue itself any right to which such Domestic Guarantor hereby waives. 

  

	 	(e)	Each Domestic Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth in Section 10.4 and in this Section 10.7 is made with full knowledge of its significance and
consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. 

  

 143 

 Section 10.8 Limitation on Enforcement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
elsewhere in this Agreement, the Lenders and the Hedging Agreement Providers agree that this Domestic Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders and that no other
Secured Party shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce the Domestic Guaranty or to realize upon the security to be granted by the Pledge Agreements, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be
exercised by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself, the Lenders, Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the other Agents under the terms of this Agreement and for the benefit of any Hedging Agreement Provider under any Secured
Hedging Agreement. The Secured Parties further agree that this Domestic Guaranty may not be enforced against any director, officer, employee or stockholder (which itself is not a Credit Party) of the Domestic Guarantors. Except as provided in the
immediately preceding sentence, it is understood and agreed that the agreement in this Section 10.8 is among and solely for the benefit of the Secured Parties and that, if the Required Lenders (or, after the date on which all indebtedness of
the Company with respect to the Credit Documents has been paid in full in cash, the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Credit Party Obligations) so agree (without requiring the consent of any Domestic Guarantor), this Domestic
Guaranty may be directly enforced by any Secured Party. 
 Section 10.9 Confirmation of Payment. The Administrative Agent and the
Lenders will, upon request after payment in cash in full of the indebtedness and obligations under the Credit Documents which are the subject of the Domestic Guaranty and termination of the Revolving Commitments relating thereto, confirm to the
Company, the Domestic Guarantors or any other Person that such indebtedness and obligations under the Credit Documents have been paid and the Revolving Commitments relating thereto terminated, subject to the provisions of
Section 10.2. 
 Section 10.10 Continuing Guaranty. This Domestic Guaranty is a continuing one and all
liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. No failure or delay on the part of any Secured Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies
herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Secured Party would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Domestic Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Domestic Guarantor to any other
further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Secured Party to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. It is not necessary for any Secured Party to inquire
into the capacity or powers of the Company or any other Domestic Guaranteed Party or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its or their behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the professed
exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder. 
  

 144 

 Section 10.11 Subordination of Indebtedness Held by Guarantors. Any indebtedness of the
Company or any other Domestic Guaranteed Party now or hereafter held by any Domestic Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the indebtedness of the Company or such other Domestic Guaranteed Party to the Secured Parties (in their capacities as such);
and such indebtedness of the Company or such other Domestic Guaranteed Party to any Domestic Guarantor, if the Administrative Agent, after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, so requests, shall be collected, enforced and received by
such Domestic Guarantor as trustee for the Secured Parties and be paid over to the Secured Parties on account of the indebtedness of the Company or such other Domestic Guaranteed Party to the Secured Parties (in their capacities as such), but
without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of such Domestic Guarantor under the other provisions of this Domestic Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by any Domestic Guarantor of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any
indebtedness of the Company or any other Domestic Guaranteed Party to such Domestic Guarantor, such Domestic Guarantor shall mark such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Domestic Guarantor hereby agrees with the Secured Parties that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Domestic Guaranty (whether contractual, under
Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all indebtedness of the Company owing to the Secured Parties (in their capacities as such) have been irrevocably paid in full in cash; provided, that if any amount shall be paid to
such Domestic Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the irrevocable payment in full in cash of all the indebtedness of the Company owing to the Secured Parties (in their capacities as such), such amount shall be held
in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Secured Parties to be credited and applied upon the indebtedness of the Company owing to the Secured Parties (in their capacities as such), whether matured or
unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents or, if the Credit Documents do not provide for the application of such amount, to be held by the Secured Parties as collateral security for any indebtedness of the Company owing to the
Secured Parties (in their capacities as such) thereafter existing. 
 Section 10.12 Payments. All payments made by
any Domestic Guarantor hereunder will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense and on the same basis as payments are made by the Company under Section 2.10. 
  

 145 

 ARTICLE XI 
 GUARANTY OF THE DUTCH BORROWER OBLIGATIONS 
 Section 11.1 The Foreign Guaranty. In order
to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and any Hedging Agreement Provider to enter into any Secured Hedging Agreement with the Dutch Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and to extend credit hereunder and thereunder, and in recognition of
the direct benefits to be received by the Guarantors from the Extensions of Credit to the Dutch Borrower hereunder and the extensions of credit under any Secured Hedging Agreement, each of the Guarantors hereby agrees with the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders as follows: each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably jointly and severally guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, by required
prepayment, declaration, demand, by acceleration or otherwise, of any and all indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower to the Secured Parties. If any or all of the indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders becomes due
and payable hereunder, each Guarantor unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Secured Parties, or order, on demand, together with any and all reasonable expenses which may be incurred by the Secured Parties in collecting any of the
indebtedness. The word “indebtedness” is used in this ARTICLE XI in its most comprehensive sense and includes any and all advances, debts, obligations and liabilities of the Dutch Borrower, including all Credit Party Obligations of the
Dutch Borrower, arising in connection with this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any Secured Hedging Agreement, in each case, heretofore, now, or hereafter made, incurred or created, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, absolute or
contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, whether or not such indebtedness is from time to time reduced, or extinguished and thereafter increased or incurred, whether the Dutch Borrower may be liable individually or jointly
with others, whether or not recovery upon such indebtedness may be or hereafter become barred by any statute of limitations, and whether or not such indebtedness may be or hereafter become otherwise unenforceable. Each Guarantor understands, agrees
and confirms that the Secured Parties may enforce this Foreign Guaranty up to the full amount of all indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower against such Guarantor without proceeding against any other Guarantor, the Dutch Borrower or any other Foreign
Guaranteed Party, or against any security for all indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower or under any other guaranty covering all or a portion of all indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower. The Foreign Guaranty set forth in this Article XI is a guaranty of
timely payment and not of collection. 
 Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Credit
Documents, to the extent the obligations of a Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or
transfers) then the obligations of each such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code) (it being understood
that it is the intention of the parties to this Foreign Guaranty that, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable laws, the liabilities in respect of the guarantees of the Existing Senior Notes 2007, the Senior Notes and the Convertible Notes
and any other indebtedness for borrowed money, shall not be included for the foregoing purposes and that, if any reduction is required to the amount guaranteed by any Guarantor hereunder and with respect to the Existing 

  

 146 

 
Senior Notes 2007, the Senior Notes, the Convertible Notes or any other indebtedness for borrowed money, that its guarantee of amounts owing in respect of
the Existing Senior Notes 2007, the Senior Notes, the Convertible Notes or any other indebtedness for borrowed money, as the case may be, shall first be reduced). 
 Section 11.2 Bankruptcy. Additionally, each of the Guarantors absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees jointly and severally the payment of any and all indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower to
the Secured Parties whether or not due or payable by the Dutch Borrower upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 7.1(e), and unconditionally, absolutely, and irrevocably, jointly and severally promises to pay
such indebtedness to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Secured Parties, or order, on demand, in lawful money of the United States. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that to the extent that the Dutch Borrower or a Guarantor shall
make a payment or a transfer of an interest in any property to any Secured Party, which payment or transfer or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, or otherwise is avoided, and/or required to be
repaid to the Dutch Borrower or a Guarantor, the estate of the Dutch Borrower or a Guarantor, a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such avoidance
or repayment, the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made. 
 Section 11.3 Nature of Liability. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is primary, absolute, joint and several, and unconditional, and is exclusive and independent of any security for or other Foreign
Guaranty of the indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower whether executed by any such Guarantor, any other Guarantor or by any other party, and no Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be affected or impaired by any circumstance or occurrence
whatsoever, including, without limitation; (a) any direction as to application of payment by the Dutch Borrower or by any other party, (b) any other continuing or other Foreign Guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a Guarantor or
of any other party as to the indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower, (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other Foreign Guaranty or undertaking, (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the
Dutch Borrower, (e) the failure of the Guarantor to receive any benefit from or as a result of its execution, delivery and performance of this Foreign Guaranty, (f) any action or inaction by the Secured Parties or (g) any invalidity,
rescission, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower, or (h) any payment made to any Secured Party on the indebtedness which such Secured Party repay the Dutch Borrower pursuant to court
order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each of the Guarantors waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.

 Section 11.4 Independent Obligation. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any
other Guarantor or the Dutch Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor or the Dutch Borrower and whether or not any other Guarantor or
the Dutch Borrower is joined in any such action or actions. Each Guarantor waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) the benefits of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any
payment by the Dutch Borrower 

  

 147 

 
or any other Foreign Guaranteed Party or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the Dutch Borrower or such other Foreign
Guaranteed Party shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each Guarantor. 
 Section 11.5 Authorization. Each of
the Guarantors authorizes each Secured Party without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to (a) renew,
compromise, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the indebtedness or any part thereof in accordance with this Agreement, including any increase or decrease of the rate of interest
thereon, (b) take and hold security from any Guarantor or any other party for the payment of the Foreign Guaranty or the indebtedness and exchange, enforce waive and release any such security, (c) apply such security and direct the order
or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in their discretion may determine and (d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, Guarantors, the Dutch Borrower or other obligors. 
 Section 11.6 Reliance. It is not necessary for any Secured Party to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Dutch Borrower or the
officers, directors, members, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder. 
 Section 11.7 Waiver. 
  

	 	(a)	 Each of the Guarantors waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or
any Hedging Agreement Provider to (i) proceed against the Dutch Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Dutch Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other party, or
(iii) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s, any Lender’s or any Hedging Agreement Provider’s power whatsoever. Each of the Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Dutch
Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other party other than payment in full in cash of the indebtedness, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of the Dutch Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other
party, or the unenforceability of the indebtedness or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Dutch Borrower other than payment in full in cash of the indebtedness. The Administrative Agent or any of
the Lenders may, at their election, exercise any right or remedy the Administrative Agent and any Lender may have against the Dutch Borrower or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any
Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the indebtedness has been paid. The Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any collateral serving as security held by the Administrative Agent, or the other Secured Parties by one or more
judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Secured Parties may have against the 

  

 148 

	 	 
Dutch Borrower, any other Foreign Guaranteed Party or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any
Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower has been paid in full in cash. Each of the Guarantors waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders, even
though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement, contribution, indemnification or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Guarantors against the Dutch Borrower or any other party. 

  

	 	(b)	Each of the Guarantors waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notice of protest, notices
of dishonor, notices of acceptance of the Foreign Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional indebtedness and each Guarantor further hereby waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or
accrual of any of the indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower reliance by any Secured Party upon this Foreign Guaranty, and the indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed,
extended, amended, modified, supplemented or waived, in reliance upon this Foreign Guaranty. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Dutch Borrower’s financial condition, affairs and assets, and of
all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the indebtedness and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and has adequate means to obtain from the Dutch Borrower each other
Foreign Guaranteed Party and each other Guarantor on an ongoing basis information relating thereto and the Dutch Borrower’s, each other Foreign Guaranteed Party’s and each other Guarantor’s ability to pay and perform its respective
obligations with regard to the indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower, and agrees to assume the responsibility for keeping, and to keep, so informed for so long as this Foreign Guaranty is in effect. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that
(x) the Secured Parties shall have no obligation to investigate the financial condition or affairs of the Dutch Borrower, any other Foreign Guaranteed Party or any other Guarantor for the benefit of such Guarantor nor to advise such Guarantor
of any fact respecting, or any change in, the financial condition, assets or affairs of the Dutch Borrower, any other Foreign Guaranteed Party or any other Guarantor that might become known to any Secured Parties at any time, whether or not such
Secured Parties knows or believes or has reason to know or believe that any such fact or change is unknown to such Guarantor, or might (or does) increase the risk of such Guarantor as guarantor hereunder, or might (or would) affect the willingness
of such Guarantor to continue as a guarantor of the indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower hereunder and (y) the Secured Parties shall have no duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to them regarding any of the aforementioned
circumstances or risks. 

  

 149 

	 	(c)	Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees it will not exercise any rights of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of the Foreign Guaranty (whether contractual,
under Section 509 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to the claims of any Secured Party against the Dutch Borrower or any other Guarantor of the indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower owing to any such Secured Party (collectively, the
“Other Parties”) and all contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any Other Party which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of the Foreign Guaranty until such time as the
Loans hereunder and all Credit Party Obligations (other than Unasserted Obligations) shall have been paid and the Revolving Commitments have been terminated. Each of the Guarantors hereby further agrees not to exercise any right to enforce any other
remedy which any Secured party now has or may hereafter have against any Other Party, any endorser or any other Guarantor of all or any part of the indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security
or collateral given to or for the benefit of the any such Secured Party to secure payment of the indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower until such time as the Loans and all Credit Party Obligations (other than Unasserted Obligations) hereunder shall
have been paid and the Revolving Commitments have been terminated. 

  

	 	(d)	Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that no Secured Party nor any other Person shall be under any obligation (a) to marshal any assets in favor of such Guarantor or
in payment of any or all of the liabilities of any Foreign Guaranteed Party under the Credit Documents or the obligation of such Guarantor hereunder or (b) to pursue any other remedy that such Guarantor may or may not be able to pursue itself
any right to which such Guarantor hereby waives. 

  

	 	(e)	Each Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth in Section 11.4 and in this Section 11.7 is made with full knowledge of its significance and
consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. 

 Section 11.8 Limitation on Enforcement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement the Lenders and
the Hedging Agreement Providers agree that this Foreign Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders and that no other Secured Party shall have any right individually to
seek to enforce or to enforce the Foreign Guaranty or to realize upon the security to be granted by the Pledge Agreements, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent for the 

  

 150 

 
benefit of itself, the Lenders, Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the other Agents under the terms of this Agreement and for the benefit of any
Hedging Agreement Provider under any Secured Hedging Agreement. The Secured Parties further agree that this Foreign Guaranty may not be enforced against any director, officer, employee or stockholder (which itself is not a Credit Party) of the
Guarantors. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, it is understood and agreed that the agreement in this Section 11.8 is among and solely for the benefit of the Secured Parties and that, if the Required Lenders (or, after
the date on which all indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower with respect to the Credit Documents has been paid in full in cash, the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Credit Party Obligations) so agree (without requiring the consent of
any Guarantor), this Foreign Guaranty may be directly enforced by any Secured Party. 
 Section 11.9 Limitation on Guaranty of
Alliance AG. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Credit Documents, the following shall apply to Alliance AG’s Guaranty Obligations as Guarantor (the “Alliance AG Guaranty”):

  

	 	(a)	Alliance AG hereby represents and warrants that, prior to entering into this Agreement, Alliance AG has taken the necessary steps to ensure that, subject to execution of and
performance under this Agreement, Alliance AG shall be receiving arm’s length compensation for the Alliance AG Guaranty. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that, notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary elsewhere in
this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, the risk exists that, in the event and at the time of the enforcement of this Agreement, (i) the Swiss Federal Tax Administration may qualify all or part of the payments by Alliance AG under
the Alliance AG Guaranty as a constructive profit distribution and/or (ii) payments by Alliance AG under the Alliance AG Guaranty may qualify under Swiss corporate law as constructive profit distribution and/or repayment of capital by Alliance
AG (in either case a “Constructive Profit Distribution”). 

  

	 	(b)	Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Alliance AG hereby appoints the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, to seek and obtain,
prior to enforcement of the Alliance AG Guaranty, a ruling from the Swiss Federal Tax Administration confirming that the payments by Alliance AG under the Alliance AG Guaranty (the “Alliance AG Guaranty Payments”) will not be
qualified as Constructive Profit Distribution. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, hereby agrees and undertakes to Alliance AG that enforcement of the Alliance AG Guaranty shall not be imposed on Alliance AG without obtaining such
ruling from the Swiss Federal Tax Administration. Alliance AG hereby agrees and undertakes to provide the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, with reasonable and bona fide support, including but not limited to copies of all
relevant corporate documents (including, without limitation, any shareholders’ and/or board resolutions of Alliance AG to enter into this Agreement) to allow the request for the above ruling to be filed with the Swiss Federal Tax Administration
without delay. 

  

 151 

	 	(c)	In the event that the Swiss Federal Tax Administration confirms that the Alliance AG Guaranty Payments will not be qualified as Constructive Profit Distribution, the Administrative
Agent may seek, subject to the terms of Section 11.9(e) and (f), immediate enforcement under the Alliance AG Guaranty for the benefit of the Lenders without further notice. 

  

	 	(d)	In the event that the Swiss Federal Tax Administration opines that all or part of the Alliance AG Guaranty Payments must be qualified as Constructive Profit Distribution, the
Administrative Agent may seek, subject to the terms of Section 11.9(e) and (f), immediate enforcement under the Alliance AG Guaranty only for such part (if any) of the Alliance AG Guaranty Payments which are not
qualified as Constructive Profit Distribution. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, Alliance AG hereby agrees and undertakes to provide the Administrative Agent with reasonable and bona fide support (such as, without limitation, the filing
of appeals before the competent authorities and/or courts) to challenge a negative ruling or decision of the Swiss Federal Tax Administration with respect to such part of the Alliance AG Guaranty Payments qualified by the Swiss Federal Tax
Administration as a Constructive Profit Distribution. 

  

	 	(e)	If and to the extent payments on the Alliance AG Guaranty have to be qualified under Swiss corporate law as a Constructive Profit Distribution (the part, if any, qualified as
Constructive Profit Distribution being hereafter referred to as the “Shortfall on Enforcement”), the Shortfall on Enforcement shall only become enforceable from time to time and used for application to the Credit Party Obligations
of Alliance AG within the limit of the maximum amount of the profits of Alliance AG available for distribution as dividends from time to time, i.e. the balance sheet profits (if any) and any reserves available for such purpose in each case in
accordance with Article 675 Section 2 and Article 671 Sections 1-3 of the Swiss Code of Obligations, less any amount for Swiss withholding taxes payable in respect thereof, until the aggregate cumulative amount of such profits and reserves
reaches the Shortfall on Enforcement. Any payments on the Alliance AG Guaranty received by the Administrative Agent in excess of the Shortfall on Enforcement shall be promptly repaid by the Administrative Agent to Alliance AG.

  

	 	(f)	 For the purposes of reducing the Shortfall on Enforcement, the amount of profits of Alliance AG available from time to time for distribution to the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, shall be determined by a resolution of the annual shareholders’ meeting of Alliance AG, based on an audited balance sheet of Alliance AG as required under Swiss corporate law, and on a confirmation by the
auditors of Alliance AG that they have examined 

  

 152 

	 	 
the balance sheet and that the amount for which enforcement is sought is in conformity with applicable Swiss corporate laws for the protection of share
capital and legal reserves, to the extent they are not freely available, and with such accounting standards as then applied by the auditors of Alliance AG. However, such recovery amount shall at no time be less than the unrestricted equity capital
surplus (including the unrestricted part of general (legal) reserves, restricted reserves which may be converted into free reserves, other free reserves, retained earnings and current net profits) available (as the case may be after a
conversion/re-qualification) for distribution to the shareholder(s) of Alliance AG under Swiss corporate law and practice at the time or times enforcement by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in accordance with this Agreement
is sought. 

  

	 	(g)	To the extent (but only to the extent) that all or part of the Alliance AG Guaranty Payments are requalified by the Swiss Federal Tax Administration as a Constructive Profit
Distribution after their disbursement by Alliance AG to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, and to the extent the Alliance AG Guaranty Payments are made without Alliance AG having retained or withheld any Swiss withholding tax from
such Alliance AG Guaranty Payments, the Administrative Agent hereby undertakes to timely file a related report with and pay, on behalf of the Lenders, the relevant tax amount (if any) to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration.

  

	 	(h)	To the extent (but only to the extent) that Alliance AG is required to make any Swiss withholding tax payment directly to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration as a result of a
requalification by the Swiss Federal Tax Administration of the Alliance AG Guaranty Payments as a Constructive Profit Distribution after their disbursement by Alliance AG to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, and to the extent the
Alliance AG Guaranty Payments are made without Alliance AG having retained or withheld such Swiss withholding tax from such Alliance AG Guaranty Payments, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, agrees and undertakes to indemnify
Alliance AG for such payments. This indemnification obligation shall extend to any director of Alliance AG to the extent that such director becomes personally liable for the payment of such Swiss withholding tax in the event of a liquidation of
Alliance AG as a result of enforcement under this Agreement. 

  

	 	(i)	 Alliance AG hereby agrees and undertakes to provide all necessary and bona fide support to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, to allow the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders to obtain, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to attempt to obtain, any refund of withholding tax described in this Section 11.9 as provided for under the relevant tax treaties
then in force. The amount of any such refund shall be 

  

 153 

	 	 
applied to reduce the Shortfall on Enforcement and, if and to the extent such reduction causes the Shortfall on Enforcement to be a negative amount, shall be
paid (by the Administrative Agent or Lenders, as appropriate) to Alliance AG. 

 Section 11.10 Confirmation
of Payment. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders will, upon request after payment in cash in full of the indebtedness and obligations under the Credit Documents which are the subject of the Foreign Guaranty and termination of the Revolving
Commitments relating thereto, confirm to the Dutch Borrower, the Guarantors or any other Person that such indebtedness and obligations under the Credit Documents have been paid and the Revolving Commitments relating thereto terminated, subject to
the provisions of Section 11.2. 
 Section 11.11 Continuing Guaranty. This Foreign Guaranty is a
continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. No failure or delay on the part of any Secured Party in exercising any right, power or
privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The
rights and remedies herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Secured Party would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other
further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Secured Party to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. It is not necessary for any Secured Party to inquire
into the capacity or powers of the Dutch Borrower or any other Foreign Guaranteed Party or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its or their behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the
professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder. 
 Section 11.12 Subordination of Indebtedness Held by
Guarantors. Any indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower or any other Foreign Guaranteed Party now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower or such other Foreign Guaranteed Party to the
Secured Parties (in their capacities as such); and such indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower or such other Foreign Guaranteed Party to any Guarantor, if the Administrative Agent, after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, so requests,
shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Secured Parties and be paid over to the Secured Parties on account of the indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower or such other Foreign Guaranteed Party to the Secured Parties
(in their capacities as such), but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Foreign Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by any Guarantor of any note or negotiable instrument
evidencing any indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower or any other Foreign Guaranteed Party to such Guarantor, such Guarantor shall mark such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Secured Parties that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Foreign Guaranty (whether contractual, under
Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower owing to the Secured Parties (in their capacities as such) have been 

  

 154 

 
irrevocably paid in full in cash; provided, that if any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior
to the irrevocable payment in full in cash of all the indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower owing to the Secured Parties (in their capacities as such), such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be
paid to the Secured Parties to be credited and applied upon the indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower owing to the Secured Parties (in their capacities as such), whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents or, if
the Credit Documents do not provide for the application of such amount, to be held by the Secured Parties as collateral security for any indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower owing to the Secured Parties (in their capacities as such) thereafter
existing. 
 Section 11.13 Payments. All payments made by any Guarantor hereunder will be made without setoff, counterclaim or
other defense and on the same basis as payments are made by the Dutch Borrower under Sections 2.10. 
  

 155 

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

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT 
 July 2, 2009 
 Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC 
 Eleven Madison Avenue 
 New York, New York 10010-3629 
 Dear Sirs: 
 Alliance One International, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the “Issuer”), proposes to issue and sell to
Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC as Representative of the initial purchasers set forth on Schedule A of the Purchase Agreement (as defined below) (collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”), upon the terms set forth in a purchase agreement
of even date herewith (the “Purchase Agreement”), $570,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 10% senior notes due 2016 (the “Initial Securities”) to be unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guaranties”) by the creation
or acquisition of a Material Domestic Subsidiary (as defined in the Indenture) after the date of the Indenture (the “Guarantors” and together with the Issuer, the “Company”). The Initial Securities will be issued pursuant to an
Indenture, dated as of July 2, 2009 (the “Indenture”) between the Company, Law Debenture Trust Company of New York (the “Trustee”) and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as registrar and paying agent. As an inducement to
the Initial Purchasers, the Company agrees with the Initial Purchasers, for the benefit of the holders of the Initial Securities (including, without limitation, the Initial Purchasers), the Exchange Securities (as defined below) and the Private
Exchange Securities (as defined below) (collectively the “Holders”), as follows: 
 1. Registered Exchange
Offer. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, at its own cost, to prepare and, not later than 180 days after (or if the 180th day is not a business day, the first business day thereafter) the date of original issue of
the Initial Securities (the “Issue Date”), file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement (the “Exchange Offer Registration Statement”) on an appropriate form under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with respect to a proposed offer (the “Registered Exchange Offer”) to the Holders of Entitled Securities (as defined in Section 6 hereof), who are not prohibited by
any law or policy of the Commission from participating in the Registered Exchange Offer, to issue and deliver to such Holders, in exchange for the Initial Securities, a like aggregate principal amount of debt securities (the “Exchange
Securities”) of the Issuer issued under the Indenture and identical in all material respects to the Initial Securities (except for the transfer restrictions relating to the Initial Securities and the provisions relating to the matters described
in Section 6 hereof) that would be registered under the Securities Act. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Exchange Offer Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission on or prior to 270 days
(or if the 270th day is not a business day, the first business day thereafter) after the Issue Date of the Initial Securities (the “Effectiveness Target Date”). 

 Unless the Registered Exchange Offer would not be permitted by applicable law or Commission policy, the
Company will (a) commence the Registered Exchange Offer; and (b) use all commercially reasonable efforts to issue on or prior to 30 business days, or longer, if required by applicable securities laws, after the date on which the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement was declared effective by the Commission, exchange notes in exchange for all notes validly tendered and not withdrawn thereto in the Registered Exchange Offer (the “Exchange Offer Registration Period”).

 The Company acknowledges that, pursuant to current interpretations by the Commission’s staff of Section 5 of the Securities Act,
in the absence of an applicable exemption therefrom, (i) each Holder which is a broker-dealer electing to exchange Securities, acquired for its own account as a result of market making activities or other trading activities, for Exchange
Securities (an “Exchanging Dealer”), is required to deliver a prospectus containing the information set forth in (a) Annex A hereto on the cover, (b) Annex B hereto in the “Exchange Offer Procedures” section and the
“Purpose of the Exchange Offer” section, and (c) Annex C hereto in the “Plan of Distribution” section of such prospectus in connection with a sale of any such Exchange Securities received by such Exchanging Dealer pursuant
to the Registered Exchange Offer and (ii) an Initial Purchaser that elects to sell Exchange Securities acquired in exchange for Securities constituting any portion of an unsold allotment is required to deliver a prospectus containing the
information required by Items 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, as applicable, in connection with such sale. 
 The
Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective and to amend and supplement the prospectus contained therein, in order to permit such prospectus to be lawfully delivered by all
persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act for such period of time as such persons must comply with such requirements in order to resell the Exchange Securities; provided, however, that (i) in the case
where such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto must be delivered by an Exchanging Dealer or an Initial Purchaser, such period shall be the lesser of 180 days and the date on which all Exchanging Dealers and the Initial Purchasers have
sold all Exchange Securities held by them (unless such period is extended pursuant to Section 3(j) below) and (ii) the Company shall make such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, available to any broker-dealer for use in
connection with any resale of any Exchange Securities for a period of not less than 90 days after the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer. 
 If, upon consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, any Initial Purchaser holds Initial Securities acquired by it as part of its initial distribution, the Issuer, simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange
Securities pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer, shall issue and deliver to such Initial Purchaser upon the written request of such Initial Purchaser, in exchange (the “Private Exchange”) for the Initial Securities held by such
Initial Purchaser, a like principal amount of debt securities of the Issuer issued under the Indenture and identical in all material respects (including the existence of restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act and the securities laws of
the several states of the United States, but excluding provisions relating to the matters described in Section 6 hereof) to the Initial Securities (the “Private Exchange Securities”). The Initial Securities, the Exchange Securities
and the Private Exchange Securities are herein collectively called the “Securities”. 
 In connection with the Registered Exchange
Offer, the Issuer shall: 
 (a) mail to each Holder a copy of the prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement, together with an appropriate letter of transmittal and related documents; 
 (b) keep the
Registered Exchange Offer open for not less than 30 days (or longer, if required by applicable law) after the date notice thereof is mailed to the Holders; 
 (c) utilize the services of a depositary for the Registered Exchange Offer with an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, which may be the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee; 

 

 2 

 (d) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Securities at any time prior to the close of
business, New York time, on the last business day on which the Registered Exchange Offer shall remain open; and 
 (e) otherwise comply with all applicable laws. 
 As soon as practicable after the close of the Registered Exchange Offer or
the Private Exchange, as the case may be, the Issuer shall: 
 (x) accept for exchange all the Securities validly
tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and the Private Exchange; 
 (y) deliver to the
Trustee for cancellation all the Initial Securities so accepted for exchange; and 
 (z) cause the Trustee to
authenticate and deliver promptly to each Holder of the Initial Securities, Exchange Securities or Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, equal in principal amount to the Initial Securities of such Holder so accepted for exchange.

 The Indenture will provide that the Exchange Securities will not be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture and
that all the Securities will vote and consent together on all matters as one class and that none of the Securities will have the right to vote or consent as a class separate from one another on any matter. 
 Interest on each Exchange Security and Private Exchange Security issued pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and in the Private Exchange will accrue
from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the Initial Securities surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been paid on the Initial Securities, from the date of original issue of the Initial Securities.

 Each Holder participating in the Registered Exchange Offer shall be required to represent to the Issuer that at the time of the
consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer (i) any Exchange Securities received by such Holder will be acquired in the ordinary course of business, (ii) such Holder will have no arrangements or understanding with any person to
participate in the distribution of the Securities or the Exchange Securities within the meaning of the Securities Act, (iii) such Holder is not an “affiliate,” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, of the Company, or if it is
an affiliate, such Holder will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable, (iv) if such Holder is not a broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to
engage in, the distribution of the Exchange Securities and (v) if such Holder is a broker-dealer, that it will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Initial Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities and that it will be required to acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. 
 Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the Company will ensure that (i) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment thereto
and any prospectus forming part thereof and any supplement thereto complies in all material respects with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does
not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (iii) any prospectus forming part of
any Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and any supplement to such prospectus, does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
 2. Shelf
Registration. If, (i) the Company is not permitted to consummate the Registered Exchange Offer because the Registered Exchange Offer is not permitted by applicable law or Commission policy; or (ii) any holder of the Entitled Securities
notifies the Company prior to the 20th business day following consummation of the
Registered Exchange Offer that: (a) it is prohibited by law or Commission policy from participating in the Registered Exchange Offer, (b) it may not resell the exchange notes acquired by it in the Registered Exchange Offer to the public
without delivering a prospectus (other than by reason of such holder’s status as an affiliate of 

  

 3 

 
the Company) and the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such resales; or (c) it is a
broker-dealer and owns notes acquired directly from the Company or an affiliate of the Company then the Company shall take the following actions: 
 (a) The Company shall, at its own cost, use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission (the “Shelf Registration Statement” and, together with the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement, a “Registration Statement”) and to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission on or prior to 90 days after such obligation arises pursuant to this Section 2 (the “Shelf
Effectiveness Target Date”). The Shelf Registration Statement shall be filed on an appropriate form under the Securities Act relating to the offer and sale of the Entitled Securities (as defined in Section 6 hereof) by the Holders thereof
from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement and Rule 415 under the Securities Act (hereinafter, the “Shelf Registration”); provided, however, that no Holder (other
than an Initial Purchaser) shall be entitled to have the Securities held by it covered by such Shelf Registration Statement unless such Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Holder and
provided, further, that with respect to Exchange Securities received by an Initial Purchaser in exchange for Securities constituting any portion of an unsold allotment, the Company may, if permitted by current interpretations by the
Commission’s staff, file a post-effective amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement containing the information required by Item 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K, as applicable, in satisfaction of its obligations under this
subsection, and any such Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as so amended, shall be referred to herein as, and governed by the provisions herein applicable to, a Shelf Registration Statement. 
 (b) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective in
order to permit the prospectus included therein to be lawfully delivered by the Holders of the relevant Securities, for a period of two years (or for such longer period if extended pursuant to Section 3(j) below) from the Issue Date or such
shorter period that will terminate when all the Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto. The Company shall be deemed not to have used its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration
Statement effective during the requisite period if it voluntarily takes any action that would result in Holders of Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell such Securities during that period, unless such action is required by
applicable law. 
 (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall cause
the Shelf Registration Statement and the related prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement, amendment or supplement, (i) to comply in all material respects with the
applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission and (ii) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
 3. Registration
Procedures. In connection with any Shelf Registration contemplated by Section 2 hereof and, to the extent applicable, any Registered Exchange Offer contemplated by Section 1 hereof, the following provisions shall apply: 
 (a) The Company shall (i) furnish to each Initial Purchaser, prior to the filing thereof with the Commission, a copy of the
Registration Statement and each amendment thereof and each supplement, if any, to the prospectus included therein and, in the event that an Initial Purchaser (with respect to any portion of an unsold allotment from the original offering) is
participating in the Registered Exchange Offer or the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to reflect in each such document, when so filed with the Commission, such comments as such Initial
Purchaser reasonably may propose; (ii) include the information set forth in Annex A hereto on the cover, in Annex B hereto in the “Exchange Offer 

  

 4 

 
Procedures” section and the “Purpose of the Exchange Offer” section and in Annex C hereto in the “Plan of Distribution” section of
the prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and include the information set forth in Annex D hereto in the Letter of Transmittal delivered pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer; (iii) if requested by an
Initial Purchaser, include the information required by Items 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, as applicable, in the prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement; (iv) include within the prospectus
contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement a section entitled “Plan of Distribution,” reasonably acceptable to the Initial Purchasers, which shall contain a summary statement of the positions taken or policies made by the staff
of the Commission with respect to the potential “underwriter” status of any broker-dealer that is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of
Exchange Securities received by such broker-dealer in the Registered Exchange Offer (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”), whether such positions or policies have been publicly disseminated by the staff of the Commission or such positions or
policies, in the reasonable judgment of the Initial Purchasers based upon advice of counsel (which may be in-house counsel), represent the prevailing views of the staff of the Commission; and (v) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement,
include in the prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement (or, if permitted by Commission Rule 430B(b), in a prospectus supplement that becomes a part thereof pursuant to Commission Rule 430B(f)) that is delivered to any
Holder pursuant to Section 3(d) and (f), the names of the Holders, who propose to sell Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, as selling securityholders. 
 (b) The Company shall give written notice to the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities and any Participating
Broker-Dealer from whom the Company has received prior written notice that it will be a Participating Broker-Dealer in the Registered Exchange Offer (which notice pursuant to clauses (ii)-(v) hereof shall be accompanied by an instruction to
suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes have been made): 
 (i) when the Registration Statement or
any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; 
 (ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information; 
 (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the
initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, of the issuance by the Commission of a notification of objection to the use of the form on which the Registration Statement has been filed, and of the happening of any event that causes the Issuer to
become an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Commission Rule 405. 
 (iv) of the receipt by the Company or
its legal counsel of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and 
 (v) of the happening of any event that requires the Company to make changes in the Registration Statement or the prospectus in order
that the Registration Statement or the prospectus do not contain an untrue statement of a material fact nor omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. 
 (c) The Company shall make every commercially
reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal at the earliest possible time, of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. 
  

 5 

 (d) The Company shall furnish to each Holder of Securities included within the
coverage of the Shelf Registration, without charge, at least one copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment or supplement thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, if the Holder so requests in
writing, all exhibits thereto (including those, if any, incorporated by reference). The Company shall not, without the prior consent of the Initial Purchasers, make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute a “free writing
prospectus,” as defined in Commission Rule 405. 
 (e) The Company shall deliver to each Exchanging Dealer and
each Initial Purchaser, and to any other Holder who so requests, without charge, at least one copy of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, if any
Initial Purchaser or any such Holder requests, all exhibits thereto (including those incorporated by reference). 
 (f) The Company shall, during the Shelf Registration Period, deliver to each Holder of Securities included within the coverage of the Shelf Registration, without charge, as many copies of the prospectus (including each preliminary
prospectus) included in the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such person may reasonably request. The Company consents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to the use of the prospectus or any amendment
or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of the Securities in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities covered by the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, included in the Shelf Registration Statement.

 (g) The Company shall deliver to each Initial Purchaser, any Exchanging Dealer, any Participating Broker-Dealer and
such other persons required to deliver a prospectus following the Registered Exchange Offer, without charge, as many copies of the final prospectus included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such
persons may reasonably request. The Company consents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to the use of the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by any Initial Purchaser, if necessary, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such
other persons required to deliver a prospectus following the Registered Exchange Offer in connection with the offering and sale of the Exchange Securities covered by the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, included in such Exchange
Offer Registration Statement. 
 (h) Prior to any public offering of the Securities, pursuant to any Registration
Statement, the Company shall register or qualify or cooperate with the Holders of the Securities included therein and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under the
securities or “blue sky” laws of such states of the United States as any Holder of the Securities reasonably requests in writing and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the offer and sale in such
jurisdictions of the Securities covered by such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or (ii) take
any action which would subject it to general service of process or to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject. 
 (i) The Company shall cooperate with the Holders of the Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Securities to be sold pursuant to any Registration Statement free of any restrictive
legends and in such denominations and registered in such names as the Holders may request a reasonable period of time prior to sales of the Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. 
 (j) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraphs (ii) through (v) of Section 3(b) above during the
period for which the Company is required to maintain an effective Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly prepare and file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus and any other
required document so that, as thereafter delivered to Holders of the Securities or purchasers of Securities, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the 

  

 6 

 
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of
the Securities and any known Participating Broker-Dealer in accordance with paragraphs (ii) through (v) of Section 3(b) above to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made, then the
Initial Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities and any such Participating Broker-Dealers shall suspend use of such prospectus, and the period of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement provided for in Section 2(b) above and the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement provided for in Section 1 above shall each be extended by the number of days from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of
the Securities and any known Participating Broker-Dealer shall have received such amended or supplemented prospectus pursuant to this Section 3(j). During the period during which the Company is required to maintain an effective Shelf
Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will, prior to the three-year expiration of that Shelf Registration Statement, file and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective (unless it becomes
effective automatically upon filing) within a period that avoids any interruption in the ability of Holders of Securities covered by the expiring Shelf Registration Statement to make registered dispositions, a new registration statement relating to
the Securities, which shall be deemed the “Shelf Registration Statement” for purposes of this Agreement. 
 (k) Not
later than the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, the Company will provide a CUSIP number for the Initial Securities, the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, and provide the applicable
trustee with printed certificates for the Initial Securities, the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company. 
 (l) The Company will comply with all rules and regulations of the Commission to the extent and so long as they are applicable to the
Registered Exchange Offer or the Shelf Registration and will make generally available to its security holders (or otherwise provide in accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act) an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of
Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, no later than 45 days after the end of a 12-month period (or 90 days, if such period is a fiscal year) beginning with the first month of the Issuer’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective
date of the Registration Statement, which statement shall cover such 12-month period. 
 (m) The Company shall cause the
Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, in a timely manner and containing such changes, if any, as shall be necessary for such qualification. In the event that such qualification would require the appointment of
a new trustee under the Indenture, the Company shall appoint a new trustee thereunder pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Indenture. 
 (n) The Issuer may require each Holder of Securities to be sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to the Issuer such information regarding the Holder and the distribution of the Securities
as the Issuer may from time to time reasonably require for inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement, and the Issuer may exclude from such registration the Securities of any Holder that unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a
reasonable time after receiving such request. 
 (o) The Company shall enter into such customary agreements (including,
if requested, an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take all such other action, if any, as any Holder of the Securities shall reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration.

 (p) In the case of any Shelf Registration, the Company shall (i) make reasonably available for inspection by the
Holders of the Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Holders of the Securities or any such underwriter all relevant
financial and other 

  

 7 

 
records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and (ii) cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, accountants and
auditors to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by the Holders of the Securities or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, in each case, as shall be reasonably
necessary to enable such persons, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act; provided, however, that the foregoing inspection and information gathering shall be coordinated on behalf of the
Initial Purchasers by you and on behalf of the other parties, by one counsel designated by and on behalf of such other parties as described in Section 4 hereof. 
 (q) In the case of any Shelf Registration, the Company, if requested by any Holder of Securities covered thereby, shall cause
(i) its counsel to deliver an opinion and updates thereof relating to the Securities in customary form reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriters, if any, addressed to such Holders and such managing underwriters, if any, thereof and
dated, in the case of the initial opinion, the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement; (ii) its officers to execute and deliver all customary documents and certificates and updates thereof requested by any underwriters of the
applicable Securities and (iii) its independent public accountants and the independent public accountants with respect to any other entity for which financial information is provided in the Shelf Registration Statement to provide to the selling
Holders of the applicable Securities and any underwriter therefor a comfort letter in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in comfort letters in connection with primary underwritten offerings, subject to receipt of
appropriate documentation as contemplated, and only if permitted, by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 72. 
 (r) In the case of the Registered Exchange Offer, if requested by any Initial Purchaser or any known Participating Broker-Dealer, the Company shall cause (i) its counsel to deliver to such Initial Purchaser or such Participating
Broker-Dealer a signed opinion in the form set forth in Section 7(c) and (d) of the Purchase Agreement with such changes as are customary in connection with the preparation of a Registration Statement and (ii) its independent public
accountants and the independent public accountants with respect to any other entity for which financial information is provided in the Registration Statement to deliver to such Initial Purchaser or such Participating Broker-Dealer a comfort letter,
in customary form, meeting the requirements as to the substance thereof as set forth in Section 7(a) of the Purchase Agreement, with appropriate date changes. 
 (s) If a Registered Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to be consummated, upon delivery of the Initial Securities by Holders to
the Company (or to such other Person as directed by the Company) in exchange for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall mark, or caused to be marked, on the Initial Securities so exchanged
that such Initial Securities are being canceled in exchange for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be; in no event shall the Initial Securities be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied. 
 (t) The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to (a) if the Initial Securities have been rated prior to the
initial sale of such Initial Securities, confirm such ratings will apply to the Securities covered by a Registration Statement, or (b) if the Initial Securities were not previously rated, cause the Securities covered by a Registration Statement
to be rated with the appropriate rating agencies, if so requested by Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities covered by such Registration Statement, or by the managing underwriters, if any. 
 (u) In the event that any broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act shall underwrite any Securities or participate as a member
of an underwriting syndicate or selling group or “assist in the distribution” (within the meaning of the Conduct Rules (the “Rules”) of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”)) thereof, whether as
a Holder of such Securities or as an underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, the Company will assist such broker-dealer in complying with the requirements of such Rules, including, without
limitation, by (i) if such Rules, 

  

 8 

 
including Rule 2720, shall so require, engaging a “qualified independent underwriter” (as defined in Rule 2720) to participate in the preparation
of the Registration Statement relating to such Securities, to exercise usual standards of due diligence in respect thereto and, if any portion of the offering contemplated by such Registration Statement is an underwritten offering or is made through
a placement or sales agent, to recommend the yield of such Securities, (ii) indemnifying any such qualified independent underwriter to the extent of the indemnification of underwriters provided in Section 5 hereof and (iii) providing
such information to such broker-dealer as may be required in order for such broker-dealer to comply with the requirements of the Rules. 
 (v) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Securities covered by a Registration Statement contemplated hereby. 
 4. Registration Expenses. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its obligations under
Sections 1 through 3 hereof (including the reasonable fees and expenses, if any, of Latham & Watkins LLP , counsel for the Initial Purchasers, incurred in connection with the Registered Exchange Offer), whether or not the Registered
Exchange Offer or a Shelf Registration is filed or becomes effective, and, in the event of a Shelf Registration, shall bear or reimburse the Holders of the Securities covered thereby for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm of counsel
designated by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Initial Securities covered thereby to act as counsel for the Holders of the Initial Securities in connection therewith. 
 5. Indemnification. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of the Securities, any Participating Broker-Dealer
and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or such Participating Broker-Dealer within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each Holder, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such controlling persons are referred to
collectively as the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, or any actions in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions
relating to purchases and sales of the Securities) to which each Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus or “issuer free writing prospectus,” as
defined in Commission Rule 433 (“Issuer FWP”), relating to a Shelf Registration, or arise out of, or are based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse, as incurred, the Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action in respect thereof; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission made in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus or Issuer FWP relating to a Shelf Registration in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein and (ii) with respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any
preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration Statement, the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection (a) shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer from whom the person asserting any such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased the Securities concerned, to the extent that a prospectus relating to such Securities was required to be delivered (including through satisfaction of the conditions of Commission Rule 172) by
such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer under the Securities Act in connection with such purchase and any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer results from the fact that there was not conveyed to
such person, at or prior to the time of the sale of such Securities to such person, an amended or supplemented prospectus or, if permitted by Section 3(d), an Issuer FWP correcting such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement
or omission if the Company had previously furnished copies thereof to such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer; provided further, however, that this indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to
such Indemnified Party. The Company shall also indemnify underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as provided above with
respect to the indemnification of the Holders of the Securities if requested by such Holders. 
  

 9 

 (b) Each Holder of the Securities, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the
Company and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities or any actions in respect thereof, to which the Company or any such
controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus or Issuer FWP relating to a Shelf Registration, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein; and, subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, shall
reimburse, as incurred, the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof. This
indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Holder may otherwise have to the Company or any of its controlling persons. 
 (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including a governmental investigation), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 5, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it
may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election
so to assume the defense thereof the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 5 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with the defense thereof. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could
have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of
such action, and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 
 (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsections (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from the exchange of the Securities, pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer, or (ii) if the
allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the
indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the parties shall be 

  

 10 

 
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to
state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or such Holder or such other indemnified party, as the case may be, on the other, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5(d),
the Holders of the Securities shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such Holders from the sale of the Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds the amount of
damages which such Holders have otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls such indemnified party within the meaning of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such indemnified party and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Company. 
 (e) The agreements contained in this Section 5 shall survive the sale of the Securities pursuant to
a Registration Statement and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 
 6. Special Interest Under Certain Circumstances. (a) Special interest (the “Special Interest”) with respect to the Initial
Securities shall be assessed as follows if any of the following events occur (each such event in clauses (i) through (iii) below a “Registration Default”: 
 (i) If the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the Effectiveness Target
Date or the Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to the Shelf Effectiveness Target Date; 
 (ii) If the Company fails to consummate the Registered Exchange Offer within 30 business days of the Effectiveness Target Date with respect to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement; or 
 (iii) If after either the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement is declared (or becomes
automatically) effective (A) such Registration Statement thereafter ceases to be effective; or (B) such Registration Statement or the related prospectus ceases to be usable (except as permitted in paragraph (b)) in connection with
resales of Entitled Securities during the periods specified herein because either (1) any event occurs as a result of which the related prospectus forming part of such Registration Statement would include any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, (2) it shall be necessary to amend such Registration Statement or supplement the related
prospectus, to comply with the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, or (3) such Registration Statement is a Shelf Registration Statement that has expired before a replacement Shelf Registration Statement has
become effective. 
 With respect to the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of the first Registration Default, Special
Interest shall be paid in an amount equal to 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of Entitled Securities outstanding. The amount of the Special Interest shall increase by an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent
90-day period until each Registration Default has been cured, provided, however, that Special Interest for all Registration Defaults shall not exceed an amount equal to 1.0% per annum of the principal amount of the Entitled Securities
outstanding. 
  

 11 

 (b) A Registration Default referred to in Section 6(a)(iii)(B) hereof shall be deemed not to
have occurred and be continuing in relation to a Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus if (i) such Registration Default has occurred solely as a result of (x) the filing of a post-effective amendment to such Shelf
Registration Statement to incorporate annual audited financial information with respect to the Company where such post-effective amendment is not yet effective and needs to be declared effective to permit Holders to use the related prospectus or
(y) other material events, with respect to the Company that would need to be described in such Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus and (ii) in the case of clause (y), the Company are proceeding promptly and in good faith
to amend or supplement such Shelf Registration Statement and related prospectus to describe such events; provided, however, that in any case if such Registration Default occurs for a continuous period in excess of 30 days, Special Interest
shall be payable in accordance with the above paragraph from the day such Registration Default occurs until such Registration Default is cured. 
 (c) Any amounts of Special Interest due pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 6(a) above will be payable in cash on the regular interest payment dates with respect to the Entitled Securities. The amount of
Special Interest will be determined by multiplying the applicable Special Interest rate by the principal amount of the Entitled Securities outstanding, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such Special Interest rate
was applicable during such period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months), and the denominator of which is 360. 
 (d) “Entitled Securities” means each Security until (i) the date on which such Transfer Restricted Security has been exchanged by a person other than a broker-dealer for a freely transferable
Exchange Security in the Registered Exchange Offer, (ii) following the exchange by a broker-dealer in the Registered Exchange Offer of a Initial Security for an Exchange Note, the date on which such Exchange Note is sold to a purchaser who
receives from such broker-dealer on or prior to the date of such sale a copy of the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, (iii) the date on which such Initial Security has been effectively registered under the
Securities Act and disposed of in accordance with the Shelf Registration Statement or (iv) the date on which such Initial Securities are either distributed to the public or is saleable pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. 

7. Rules 144 and 144A. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time the Company are not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder of Initial Securities, make publicly available other information so long as
necessary to permit sales of their securities pursuant to Rules 144 and 144A. The Company covenants that it will take such further action as any Holder of Initial Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time
to enable such Holder to sell Initial Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rules 144 and 144A (including the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4)). The Company will provide
a copy of this Agreement to prospective purchasers of Initial Securities identified to the Company by the Initial Purchasers upon request. Upon the request of any Holder of Initial Securities, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written
statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7 shall be deemed to require the Company to register any of its securities pursuant to the Exchange Act. 
 8. Underwritten Registrations. If any of the Entitled Securities covered by any Shelf Registration are to be sold in an underwritten
offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering (“Managing Underwriters”) will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Entitled
Securities to be included in such offering. 
 No person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such person
(i) agrees to sell such person’s Entitled Securities on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all
questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 
  

 12

 (a) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, except by

 ANNEX A 
 Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. The
Letter of Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. This Prospectus, as it may be amended
or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Securities received in exchange for Initial Securities where such Initial Securities were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities. The Company has agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date (as defined herein), it will make this Prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any
such resale. See “Plan of Distribution.” 

 ANNEX B 
 Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Securities, where such Initial Securities were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other
trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. See “Plan of Distribution.” 

 ANNEX C 
 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION 
 Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own
account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a
broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Securities received in exchange for Initial Securities where such Initial Securities were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. The Company has agreed that,
for a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date, it will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. In addition, until
            , 20[xx] all dealers effecting transactions in the Exchange Securities may be required to deliver a prospectus.(1) 
 The Company will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange Securities by broker-dealers. Exchange Securities received by broker-dealers for
their own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the Exchange Securities or a combination of such
methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive
compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such Exchange Securities. Any broker-dealer that resells Exchange Securities that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the
Exchange Offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Exchange Securities may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of Exchange Securities
and any commission or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The Letter of Transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a
broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. 
 For a period of
180 days after the Expiration Date the Company will promptly send additional copies of this Prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this Prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in the Letter of Transmittal. The Company has
agreed to pay all expenses incident to the Exchange Offer (including the expenses of one counsel for the Holders of the Securities) other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the Holders of the Securities
(including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
