Dollar/Euro Revolving Credit Lenders hereby irrevocably waive), each Dollar/Euro Revolving Credit Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day next succeeding the date of such Revolving Credit Lender’s receipt of such
written statement, make available to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, for the account of the applicable Swing Loan Lender, the amount specified in such statement. Upon such payment by a Dollar/Euro Revolving Credit Lender,
such Revolving Credit Lender shall, except as provided in clause (f) below, be deemed to have made a Dollar/Euro Revolving Loan to the Company. The Administrative Agent shall use such funds to repay the Swing Loans to the
applicable Swing Loan Lender. To the extent that any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Swing Loan Lender, the Company shall repay such Swing Loans on demand. 

 
 (f)  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(f) (Events of Default), each Dollar/Euro
Revolving Credit Lender shall acquire, without recourse or warranty, an undivided participation in each Swing Loan otherwise required to be repaid by such Dollar/Euro Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to clause (e) above, which participation
shall be in a principal amount equal to such Dollar/Euro Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Swing Loan, by paying to the applicable Swing Loan Lender on the date on which such Lender would otherwise have been required to make a
payment in respect of such Swing Loan pursuant to clause (e) above, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Dollar/Euro Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Swing Loan. If such amount is not in fact made
available by such Dollar/Euro Revolving Credit Lender to the applicable Swing Loan

 Lender on such date, such Swing Loan Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Dollar/Euro Revolving Credit Lender together with
interest accrued from such date at the Interbank Rate for the first Business Day after such payment was due and thereafter at the rate of interest then applicable to Base Rate Loans. 
  
 (g)  From and after the date on which any Dollar/Euro Revolving Credit Lender (i) is deemed to have made a Dollar/Euro Revolving Loan pursuant to clause (e) above
with respect to any Swing Loan or (ii) purchases an undivided participation interest in a Swing Loan pursuant to clause (f) above, the applicable Swing Loan Lender shall promptly distribute to such Dollar/Euro Revolving Credit Lender such
Dollar/Euro Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of all payments of principal of and interest received by such Swing Loan Lender on account of such Swing Loan other than those received from a Dollar/Euro Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to
clause (e) or (f) above. 
  
 SECTION 2.4
  Letters of Credit 
  
 (a)  On the terms and subject to the conditions
contained in this Agreement, (x) the Dollar/Euro Issuer agrees to Issue at the request of the Company and for the account of the Company and (y) the Yen Issuer agrees to Issue at the request of the Japanese Borrower and for the account of the
Japanese Borrower one or more Letters of Credit from time to time on any Business Day during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier of the Revolving Credit Termination Date and 5 days prior to the Scheduled Termination
Date; provided, however, that no Issuer shall be under any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any of the following: 
  
 (i)  any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuer from Issuing
such Letter of Credit or any Requirement of Law applicable to such Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such
Issuer refrain from, the Issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuer
is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the date of this Agreement or result in any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable, in effect or known to such Issuer as of the date of this Agreement and that such Issuer in good
faith deems material to it; 
  
 (ii)  such Issuer shall have received written notice from the
Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower or, in the case of the Yen Issuer any Yen Revolving Credit Lender or in the case of the Dollar/Euro Issuer, any Dollar/Euro Revolving Credit Lender, on or prior to the requested date of Issuance of such
Letter of Credit, that one or more of the applicable conditions contained in Section 3.1 (Conditions Precedent to Initial Loans and Letters of Credit) (for Letters of Credit issued on the Closing Date) or 3.2 (Conditions
Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) is not then satisfied; 
  
 (iii)  after giving

 55 

Table of Contents

 (B)  denominated in Yen the Yen Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the Yen Revolving Credit Commitments in effect
at such time;   
  
 (iv)  after giving effect to the Issuance of such Letter of Credit, the
sum of (i) the Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts at such time and (ii) the Reimbursement Obligations at such time exceeds (A) the Dollar Equivalent of $100,000,000 (less the sum of the Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts and the Reimbursement
Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in Yen) in the case of the Dollar/Euro Revolving Credit Facility or (B) ¥3,201,750,000 in the case of the Yen Revolving Credit Facility; 
  
 (v)  any fees due in connection with a requested Issuance have not been paid; or 
  
 (vi)  with respect to any requested Letter of Credit denominated in Euros, the Dollar/Euro Issuer receives written notice
from the Administrative Agent at or before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date of the proposed Issuance of such Letter of Credit that, immediately after giving effect to the Issuance of such Letter of Credit, the Dollar/Euro Revolving Credit
Obligations at such time denominated in Euros would exceed Euro Sublimit. 
  
 None of the Revolving Credit Lenders (other than the Issuers in their
capacity as such) shall have any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit. 
  
 (b)  In no event shall the expiration
date of any Letter of Credit (i) be more than one year after the date of issuance thereof or such longer term as acceptable to the applicable Issuer or (ii) be less than five days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date; provided,
however, that any Letter of Credit with a term of one year or longer may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the expiry date referred to in clause (ii) above) or such
longer periods as is acceptable the applicable Issuer. 
  
 (c)  In connection with the Issuance of each Letter of
Credit under the Dollar/Euro Revolving Credit Facility, the Company shall give the relevant Issuer and the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ prior written notice and, in connection with the Issuance of each Letter of Credit under
the Yen Revolving Credit Facility, the Japanese Borrower shall give the relevant Issuer and the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior written notice, in each case, in substantially the form of Exhibit E (Form of
Letter of Credit Request) (or in such other written or electronic form as is acceptable to the Issuer), of the requested Issuance of such Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Request ”). Such notice shall be irrevocable
and shall specify the Issuer of such Letter of Credit, the stated amount of the Letter of Credit requested, which stated amount (or, if such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in Euros or Yen, the Dollar Equivalent of such stated amount) shall
not be less than $100,000, the date of Issuance of such requested Letter of Credit, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which date shall be a Business Day), and, in the case of an issuance, the Person for whose benefit the
requested Letter of Credit is to be Issued. Such notice, to be effective, must be received by the relevant Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the second Business Day prior to the requested Issuance of such
Letter of Credit. 
  
 (d)  Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.4, the
relevant Issuer shall, on the requested date, Issue a Letter of Credit on behalf of the requesting 
 

 56 

Table of Contents

  
 Borrower in accordance with such Issuer's usual and customary business practices. No Issuer shall Issue any Letter
of Credit in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from any Lender that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) shall
not on such date be satisfied, and ending when such conditions are satisfied. The relevant Issuer shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent
to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) have been satisfied in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit. 
  
 (e)  If requested by the relevant Issuer, prior to the issuance of each Letter of Credit by such Issuer, and as a condition of such Issuance and of the participation of each applicable Revolving Credit Lender in the Letter
of Credit Obligations arising with respect thereto, the applicable Borrower shall have delivered to such Issuer a letter of credit reimbursement agreement, in such form as the Issuer may employ in its ordinary course of business for its own account
(a “Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement ”), signed by such Borrower, and such other documents or items as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Letter of
Credit Reimbursement Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. 
  
 (f)  Each Issuer
shall: 
  
 (i)  give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed promptly
thereafter in writing, which writing may be a telecopy or electronic mail) of the Issuance of a Letter of Credit Issued by it, of all drawings under a Letter of Credit Issued by it and the payment (or the failure to pay when due) by the relevant
Borrower of any Reimbursement Obligation when due (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit by telecopy, electronic mail or similar transmission to each Revolving Credit Lender); 
  
 (ii)  upon the request of any Revolving Credit Lender, furnish to such Revolving Credit Lender copies of any Letter of
Credit Reimbursement Agreement to which such Issuer is a party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Revolving Credit Lender; and 
  
 (iii)  no later than 10 Business Days following the last day of each calendar month, provide to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall
provide a copy to each Revolving Credit Lender requesting the same) and the Company separate schedules for Documentary and Standby Letters of Credit Issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting
forth the Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding at the end of each month and any information requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent relating thereto. 
  
 (g)  Immediately upon the Issuance by an Issuer of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such Issuer shall be deemed to have
sold and transferred to each Dollar/Euro Revolving Credit Lender or Yen Revolving Credit Lender, as applicable, and each such Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuer,
without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Dollar/Euro Revolving Credit Commitments, or Yen Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, in
such Letter of Credit and the obligations of the requesting 
 

 57 

Table of Contents

 Borrower with respect thereto (including all letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto) and any security therefor and guaranty pertaining thereto.

  
 (h)  Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit the amount of all Reimbursement
Obligations owing to such Issuer under any Letter of Credit issued for its account no later than the date (the “Reimbursement Date”) that is the next succeeding Business Day after such Borrower receives written notice from such
Issuer that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit, irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that such Borrower may have at any time against such Issuer or any other Person. In the event that any Issuer makes any payment
under any Letter of Credit and the Borrower for whose account such Letter of Credit was issued shall not have repaid such amount to such Issuer pursuant to this clause (h) or such payment is rescinded or set aside for any reason
such Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, that shall promptly notify each Dollar/Euro Revolving Credit Lender or Yen Revolving Credit Lender, as the case may be, of such failure, and each Dollar/Euro Revolving Credit Lender, in the
case of a Letter of Credit issued for the account of the Company, and each Yen Revolving Credit Lender, in the case of a Letter of Credit issued for the account of the Japanese Borrower, shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Issuer the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of such payment in the applicable currency and in immediately available funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies such Revolving Credit
Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on any Business Day, such Revolving Credit Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in
immediately available funds. Upon such payment by a Revolving Credit Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender shall, except during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(f) (Events of Default) and notwithstanding whether
the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) shall have been satisfied (which conditions precedent the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders hereby irrevocably waive), be
deemed to have made a Dollar/Euro Revolving Loan to the Company or a Yen Revolving Loan to the Japanese Borrower, as applicable, in the principal amount of such payment. Whenever any Issuer receives from a Borrower a payment of a Reimbursement
Obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Issuer any payment from a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this clause (h) such Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each applicable Revolving Credit Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment adjusted, if necessary, to
reflect the respective amounts the Revolving Credit Lenders have paid in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation. 
  
 (i)  Each Borrower’s obligation to pay each Reimbursement Obligation owing by it and the obligations of the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
applicable Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit Issued by it shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including
the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, and irrespective of any of the following: 
  
 (i)  any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein; 
 

 58 

Table of Contents

  
 (ii)  any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from
all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document; 
  
 (iii)  the existence
of any claim, set off, defense or other right that the Borrowers, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Borrowers, any Subsidiary, any member of the Unilever Group or the Johnson Family Group or any other Person may at any
time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, any Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or
transaction; 
  
 (iv)  any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be
forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 
  
 (v)  payment by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and 
  
 (vi)  any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuer, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any
other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.4 (Letters of Credit), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the
Borrower’s obligations hereunder. 
  
 Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of
Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not put such Issuer under any resulting liability to any Borrower or any Revolving Credit Lender. In determining whether drafts and other documents presented
under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof, the Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in
making any payment under any Letter of Credit the Issuer may rely exclusively on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under
such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document
on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect
whatsoever and any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuer.

  
 (j)  If and to the extent such Revolving Credit Lender shall not have so made its Ratable Portion of the amount
of the payment required by clause (h) above available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer
forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for the first Business Day after payment was first due at the Interbank Rate, and thereafter until such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, at
the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Dollar/Euro 
 

 59 

Table of Contents

  
 Revolving Credit Facility (if such Letter of Credit is denominated in Dollars) and Eurocurrency Rate Loans with
Interest Periods determined by the Administrative Agent (if such Letter of Credit is denominated in Euros or Yen). The failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Ratable
Portion of any such payment shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of any payment on the date such payment is
to be made, but no Revolving Credit Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Credit Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuer such other Revolving Credit Lender's Ratable Portion of
any such payment. 
  
 (k)  If any Issuer shall fail to comply with the terms of this Section 2.4, then the
Administrative Agent may, in its reasonable discretion, terminate such Person’s role as Issuer hereunder upon 10 Business Days prior written notice to such Issuer and the Borrowers. 
  
 SECTION 2.5  Reduction and Termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments 
  
 (a)  The Borrowers may, upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in
part ratably the unused portions of the respective Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders under either Revolving Credit Facility; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount
of not less than the applicable Minimum Currency Threshold and (ii) after giving effect to any such partial reduction, the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate Available Credit under the Dollar/Euro Revolving Credit Facility and the Yen Revolving
Credit Facility shall not be less than $150,000,000. 
  
 (b)  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.9(d)
(Mandatory Prepayments), the then current Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reduced on each date on which a prepayment of Revolving Loans or Swing Loans is made pursuant to Section 2.9(a) or (b) (Mandatory Prepayments)
or would be required to be made had the outstanding Revolving Loans and Swing Loans equaled the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, in each case in the amount of such prepayment (or deemed prepayment) (and the Revolving Credit Commitment of
each Lender shall be reduced by its Ratable Portion of such amount). 
  
 SECTION 2.6
  Repayment of Loans 
  
 (a)  Each Borrower promises
to repay the entire unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans and the Swing Loans owing by it on the Scheduled Termination Date (it being understood that other provisions of this Agreement may require all or part of such Obligations to be
repaid earlier).

 62 

Table of Contents

 of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

  
 (b)  The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall
record (i) the amount of each Loan made and, if a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable by each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum
received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from each Borrower, whether such sum constitutes principal or interest (and the type of Loan to which it applies), fees, expenses or other amounts due under the Loan Documents and each Lender’s
share thereof, if applicable. 
  
 (c)  The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses
(a) and (b) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that the
failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of each Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms. 
  
 (d)  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, in the event that any Lender requests that any Borrower execute and deliver a
promissory note or notes payable to such Lender in order to evidence the Indebtedness owing to such Lender by such Borrower hereunder, such Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver a Note or Notes to such Lender evidencing any Term Loans and
Revolving Loans (and, if such Lender is also a Swing Loan Lender, Swing Loans), as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit B-1 (Form of Revolving Credit Note) or Exhibit B-2 (Form of Term Note),

 65 

Table of Contents

 Administrative Agent that such mandatory repayment is to be made, which notice from such Tranche B Lender shall include the amount, if any, of its portion
of the mandatory repayment that such Lender still desires to receive. If any Tranche B Lender does not so notify the Administrative Agent within the two Business Day period or notifies the Administrative Agent but does not specify the amount of the
mandatory repayment that such Lender wishes to receive, if any, such Lender will be deemed to have elected to receive 100% of its Ratable Portion of the mandatory repayment. The amount of any mandatory repayment not accepted by any Tranche B Lender
shall be added pro rata to the amount to be prepaid to the Tranche B Loans of the Tranche B Lenders that have not elected to refuse such mandatory repayment and to the Tranche A Loans and the Tranche C Loans, as otherwise provided in this
Section 2.9. 
  
 (g)  If at any time (i) the Dollar/Euro Revolving Credit Outstandings exceed the aggregate

exceeds the Euro Sublimit, the Company shall forthwith prepay the Revolving Loans denominated in Euros then outstanding in an amount equal to such excess. 
  
 SECTION 2.10
  Interest 
  
 (a)  Rate of
Interest.    All Loans and the outstanding amount of all other Obligations shall bear interest, in the case of Loans, on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made and, in the case of such other
Obligations, from the date such other Obligations are due and payable until, in all cases, paid in full, except as otherwise provided in clause (c) below, as follows: 
  

(i)  if a Base Rate Loan or other Obligation (other than a Eurocurrency Rate Loan), at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate as in
effect from time to time and (B) the Applicable Margin; and 
  
 (ii)  if a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, at
a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Eurocurrency Rate determined for the applicable Interest Period, (B) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time during such Eurocurrency Interest Period and (C) in the case of any Loan made by a
Lender located in the United Kingdom, Mandatory Costs. 
  
 (b)  Interest Payments.    (i)
Interest accrued on each Base Rate Loan (other than Swing Loans) shall be payable in arrears (A) on the tenth Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such day following the making of such Base Rate Loan, (B) in the case of
Base Rate Loans that are Term Loans, upon the payment or prepayment thereof in full or in part and (C) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan, (ii) interest accrued on Swing Loans
shall be payable in arrears on the first 
 

 66 

Table of Contents

 Business Day of the immediately succeeding calendar quarter, (iii) interest accrued on each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) on the
last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Loan and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day during such Interest Period occurring every three months from the first day of such Interest Period, (B) upon
the payment or prepayment thereof in full or in part and (C) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan and (iv) interest accrued on the amount of all other Obligations shall be
payable on demand from and after the time such Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise). 
  
 (c)  Default Interest.    Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in clause (a) above or elsewhere herein, effective immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default arising
pursuant to clauses (a) or (b) of Section 9.1 (Events of Default) and for as long thereafter as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the principal balance of all Loans and the amount of all other Obligations then due and
payable shall bear interest at a rate that is two percent (2%) per annum in excess of the rate of interest applicable to such Loans or other Obligations from time to time. 
  
 (d)  Interest Act (Canada).    For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), where in this Agreement a rate of interest is to be calculated
on the basis of a year of 360 or 365 days, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate is equivalent is the rate multiplied by the number of days in the year for which the calculation is made and divided by 360 or 365, as applicable. 

 
 (e)  Criminal Interest Rate.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
in no event shall aggregate “interest” (as that term is defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada)) exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advanced” (as defined therein)
lawfully permitted under Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). The effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the term of Tranche C and, in the
event of a dispute regarding compliance with Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada), a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by Administrative Agent will be conclusive for the purposes of such
determination. 
  
 SECTION 2.11
  Conversion/Continuation Option 
  
 (a)  Each
Borrower may elect (i) at any time on any Business Day to convert its Base Rate Loans (other than Swing Loans) or any portion thereof to Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (ii) at the end of any applicable Interest Period, to convert its Eurocurrency Rate
Loans denominated in Dollars or any portion thereof into Base Rate Loans or to continue any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the
Eurocurrency Rate Loans for each Interest Period must be in the amount that is not less than the applicable Minimum Currency Threshold. Each conversion or continuation shall be allocated among the Loans of each Lender in accordance with such
Lender’s Ratable Portion of the applicable Facility. Each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit F (Form of Notice of Conversion or Continuation) (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) and
shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior written notice specifying (A) the amount and type of Loan being converted or continued, (B) in the case of a conversion to or a continuation of Eurocurrency
Rate Loans, the applicable Interest Period and (C) in the case of a conversion, the date of conversion. 
 

 67 

Table of Contents

 (b)  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a Notice of
Conversion or Continuation and of the options selected therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Loans denominated in Euros or Yen may not be converted to Base Rate Loans, (ii) no election of any Interest Period by any Borrower other than as
consented to by the Administrative Agent and conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be permitted at any time prior to the Syndication Completion Date and (iii) no conversion in whole or in part of Base
Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, no continuation in whole or in part of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars upon the expiration of any applicable Interest Period, and no election of an Interest Period in excess of one month in
respect of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Euros or Yen shall be permitted at any time at which (A) a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (B) the continuation of, or conversion into, a Eurocurrency Rate
Loan would violate any provision of Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurocurrency Rate Loans). If, within the time period required under the terms of this Section 2.11, the Administrative Agent does not receive a
Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the applicable Borrower containing a permitted election to continue any Eurocurrency Rate Loans for an additional Interest Period or to convert any such Loans, then, upon the expiration of the applicable
Interest Period, Loans denominated in Dollars shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans and Loans denominated in Euros or Yen shall be automatically continued as Eurocurrency Loans with an Interest Period of one month. Each Notice of
Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable. 
  
 SECTION 2.12
  Fees 
  
 (a)  Unused Commitment
Fee.    The (i) Company agrees to pay to each Dollar/Euro Revolving Credit Lender a commitment fee denominated in Dollars on the actual daily amount by which the Dollar/Euro Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender exceeds
such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the sum of (A) the outstanding principal amount of the Dollar/Euro Revolving Loans and (B) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations denominated in Dollars and Euros (the
“Dollar/Euro Unused Commitment Fee”), and (ii) Japanese Borrower agrees to pay to each Yen Revolving Credit Lender a commitment fee denominated in Yen on the actual daily amount by which the Yen Revolving Credit Commitment of such
Lender exceeds such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Yen Revolving Credit Outstandings (the “Yen Unused Commitment Fee” and, together with the Dollar/Euro Unused Commitment Fee, the “Unused Commitment Fees”), in
each case from the date hereof until the Revolving Credit Termination Date at the Applicable Unused Commitment Fee Rate, payable in arrears (x) on the tenth (10th) Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such Business Day following the Closing Date and (y) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date in each case.

Credit issued by any Issuer: 
  
 (i)  to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Issuer of a
Letter of Credit, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer, an issuance fee equal to 0.25% per annum of the maximum amount available from time to time to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, payable in arrears (A) on the first
Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such Business Day following the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date; 
 

 68 

Table of Contents

 (ii)  to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Dollar/Euro Revolving Credit Lenders (in
the case of Letters of Credit issued in Dollars or Euros) and the Yen Revolving Credit Lenders (in the case of Letters of Credit issued in Yen) and, with respect to each Letter of Credit, a fee accruing at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable
Margin for Revolving Loans that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans on the maximum amount available from time to time to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars, based on the
Dollar Equivalent of the average undrawn amount thereof), payable in arrears (A) on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such Business Day following the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) on the Revolving
Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that during the continuance of an Event of Default, such fee shall be increased by two percent per annum and shall be payable on demand; and 
  
 (iii)  to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, with respect to the Issuance, amendment or transfer of each Letter of Credit
and each drawing made thereunder, documentary and processing charges in accordance with such Issuer’s standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of Issuance, amendment, transfer or drawing, as the case may be. 

 
 (c)  Additional Fees.    Each Borrower has agreed to pay to the Administrative Agent and the
Arrangers additional fees, the amount and dates of payment of which are embodied in the Fee Letter. 
  
 SECTION 2.13
  Payments and Computations 
  
 (a)  Each Borrower
shall make each payment hereunder (including fees and expenses) not later than 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the day when due, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) in immediately available
funds without set-off or counterclaim. The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees to the Lenders, in accordance with the application
of payments set forth in clauses (f) or (g) below, as applicable, for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices; provided, however, that amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 (Capital
Adequacy), 2.16 (Taxes) or 2.14(b)(ii) (Increased Costs) or (d) (Illegality) shall be paid only to the affected Lender or Lenders and amounts payable with respect to Swing Loans shall be paid only to the
affected Swing Loan Lender. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day. 
  
 (b)  All computations of interest and fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, other than computations of interest for Base Rate Loans which shall be made by
the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are
payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be prima facie evidence thereof. 
  
 (c)  Each payment by a Borrower in respect of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation (including interest or fees in respect thereof (other than the Unused Commitment Fee)) shall be made in the currency in which such Loan was
made or Letter of Credit issued. 
 

 69 

Table of Contents

 (d)  Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such
payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would
cause payment of interest on or principal of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan to be made in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. All repayments of any Revolving Loans or Term Loans denominated in
Dollars shall be applied as follows: first, to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and then, to repay such Loans outstanding as Eurocurrency Rate Loans, with those Eurocurrency Rate Loans having earlier expiring Interest Periods being
repaid prior to those having later expiring Interest Periods. 
  
 (e)  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice from any Borrower to the Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to
the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each applicable Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent
that such Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each applicable Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon at the
Interbank Rate, for the first Business Day, and, thereafter, at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent.

  
 (f)  Subject to the provisions of clause (g) below (and except as otherwise provided
in Section 2.9 (Mandatory Prepayments)), all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of any Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to pay principal of, and interest on,
any portion of the Loans the Administrative Agent may have advanced to such Borrower pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement on behalf of any Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or such
Borrower, second, to pay all other Secured Obligations then due and payable, and third, as the Company so designates. Payments in respect of Swing Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to the Swing Loan
Lenders in accordance with such Swing Loan Lender’s ratable portion of all Swing Loans; payments in respect of any Revolving Loan received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with such
Lender’s Ratable Portion of the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments; payments in respect of any Term Loan received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Tranche A Lender, Tranche B Dollar Lender, Tranche B Euro Lender or
Tranche C Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the applicable Term Loans; and all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation shall be allocated among such of the Lenders and
Issuers as are entitled thereto and, for such payments allocated to the Lenders, in proportion to their respective Ratable Portions of the applicable Facility. 
  
 (g)  The Borrowers hereby irrevocably waive the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of the Secured Obligations and any proceeds of Collateral after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default and agree that, if an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent may, and, upon either (A) the written direction of the Requisite Lenders or (B) the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to
Section 9.2 (Remedies), 
 

 70 

Table of Contents

 shall apply all payments in respect of any Secured Obligations and all funds on deposit in any Cash Collateral Account and all other proceeds of
Collateral in the following order, provided, that (x) to the extent practicable, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, payments made in any currency shall be applied first to Secured Obligations denominated in such
currency and (y) payments received from any Loan Party shall be applied first to Secured Obligations owing by such Loan Party: 
  
 (i)     First, to pay interest on and then principal of any portion of the Revolving Loans that the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative
Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or any Borrower; 
  
 (ii)    Second, to pay interest on and then principal of any Swing Loan; 
  
 (iii)   Third, to pay Secured Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent; 
  
 (iv)   Fourth, to pay Secured Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements (excluding Reimbursement Obligations) or indemnities then due
to the Lenders and the Issuers; 
  
 (v)    Fifth, to pay Secured Obligations in
respect of any fees then due to the Administrative Agent and the Issuers; 
  
 (vi)   Sixth, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and fees then due to the Lenders; 
  
 (vii)  Seventh, to pay or prepay principal amounts on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and to provide cash collateral for outstanding Letter
of Credit Undrawn Amounts in the manner described in Section 9.3 (Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit), ratably to the aggregate principal amount of such Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts,
Secured Obligations owing with respect to Joint Liabilities, and Secured Obligations owing with respect to Hedging Contracts and the Secured Obligations owing with respect to Cash Management Obligations; and 
  
 (viii)  Eighth, to the ratable payment of all other Secured Obligations; 
  
 provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any Secured Obligation described in any of
clauses first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth above, the available funds being applied with respect to any such Secured Obligation (unless otherwise specified
in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of the Secured Obligations specified in such clause ratably, based on the proportion of the Administrative Agent’s, each Lender’s or Issuer’s and each other Secured Party’s
interest in the aggregate outstanding Secured Obligations described in such clauses. In providing for such allocation, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to take into account the provisions of Section 11.7 (a) (Sharing of Payments,
Etc.) and each Lender in any particular Facility that might otherwise be entitled, based on the particular Collateral serving the Secured Obligations under such Facility, to receive any greater proportion of the Collateral than the Lenders in
any other Facility may be entitled to receive, shall be deemed to have made the purchases described in 
 

 71 

Table of Contents

 Section 11.7(a) (Sharing of Payments, Etc.) from such other Lenders such that, after giving effect to such purchases, each Lender's interest in the
aggregate Outstandings is equal to such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the aggregate Outstandings at the time of such purchase. The order of priority set forth in clauses first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and
eighth above may at any time and from time to time be changed by the agreement of the Super Majority Lenders without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by the Borrowers, any Secured Party that is not a Lender or Issuer or by any
other Person that is not a Lender or Issuer. The order of priority set forth in clauses first, second, third, fourth and fifth above may be changed only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in addition to the Super
Majority Lenders. 
  
 (h)  At the option of the Administrative Agent and upon notice to the Company, (i) principal on
the Swing Loans, Reimbursement Obligations denominated in Dollars or Euros, interest, fees, expenses and other sums due and payable in respect of the Loans denominated in Dollars or Euros may be paid from the proceeds of Swing Loans or Dollar/Euro
Revolving Loans and (ii) principal on Reimbursement Obligations denominated in Yen, interest, fees, expenses and other sums due and payable in respect of the Loans denominated in Yen may be paid from the proceeds of Yen Revolving Loans. The
Borrowers hereby authorize each Swing Loan Lender to make Swing Loans pursuant to Section 2.3(a) (Swing Loans) and the Revolving Credit Lenders to make Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.2 (a) (Revolving Credit
Borrowings) from time to time in such Swing Loan Lender’s or such Revolving Credit Lender’s discretion, that are in the amounts of any and all principal payable with respect to the Swing Loans and interest, fees, expenses and other
sums payable in respect of the Revolving Loans, and further authorizes the Administrative Agent to give the Revolving Credit Lenders notice of any Borrowing with respect to such Swing Loans and Revolving Loans and to distribute the proceeds of such
Swing Loans and Revolving Loans to pay such amounts. The Borrowers agree that all such Swing Loans and Revolving Loans so made shall be deemed to have been requested by it (irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 3.2
(Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit), which conditions the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders irrevocably waive) and directs that all proceeds thereof shall be used to pay such amounts. 
  
 SECTION 2.14  Special Provisions Governing Eurocurrency Rate
Loans 
  
 (a)  Determination of Interest Rate.    The Eurocurrency Rate for
each Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate.” The Administrative Agent’s determination shall be
presumed to be prima facie evidence thereof. 
  
 (b)  Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or
Unfair.    If (i) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurocurrency Rate then being determined is to be fixed
or (ii) the Requisite Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans in the applicable currency for such Interest
Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrowers and the Lenders, whereupon: 
  
 (i)  each Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in Dollars or Euros (other than the Tranche B Euro Loans) shall automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Loan, convert into a Base Rate Loan
denominated in Dollars (regardless of the currency of such Loan) and the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or Euros or to convert Base Rate Loans 
 

 72

 denominated in Dollars into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers
that the Requisite Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist; and 
  
 (ii)  with respect to Yen Revolving Loans and Tranche B Euro Loans, the Company and the Administrative Agent shall negotiate in good faith for a period not exceeding thirty (30) days in order to agree upon a suitable
alternative basis to be applied in respect of the relevant Interest Period. If within that thirty (30) day period the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the applicable Lenders and with the prior written consent of each affected
Lender) shall agree in writing upon a suitable alternative basis, such suitable alternative basis shall be retroactive to and effective from the first day of the relevant Interest Period. If the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent fail to agree
in writing upon a suitable alternative basis within the thirty (30) day period the rate of interest applicable to the Yen Revolving Loans or Tranche B Euro Loans, as the case may be, during such Interest Period shall be determined as being the cost
of the applicable Lenders raising funds in an amount comparable to such Loans for a period equal to the Interest Period from sources in the Tokyo (in the case of Yen Revolving Loans) or London (in the case of Tranche B Euro Loans) interbank market
plus the Applicable Margin; provided, however, that the Borrowers may, at any time within sixty (60) days after the expiry of such thirty (30) day negotiation period and by giving at least fourteen (14) days prior notice to the
Administrative Agent, prepay the Yen Revolving Loans or the Euro Tranche B Loans, as the case may be, in full (but not part) together with (i) interest thereon accrued from and including the first day of the current Interest Period to but excluding
the date of such prepayment at the rate as shall be determined as being the cost of the Lenders raising funds in an amount comparable to such Eurocurrency Loans for a period equal to that Interest Period from sources in the applicable interbank
market plus the Applicable Margin and (ii) all actual costs, losses and expenses incurred by each applicable Lender as a consequence of such prepayment as such Lender may determine in its reasonable discretion (including, without limitation,
costs, losses and expenses arising from the re-employment of funds at rates lower than the rates of interest on such Loans; provided, that such rates shall be no lower than the then average market rates for loans to similarly situated
borrowers, or arising out of any funds borrowed by the Lender for the purpose of making, maintaining or funding its Commitment). 
  
 (c)  Increased Costs.    If either (i) the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order (other than any change by way of
imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in determining the Eurocurrency Rate) or (ii) the compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having
the force of law), shall have the effect of increasing the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurocurrency Rate Loans (other than, in respect of payments to be made to any Lender or the Administrative
Agent, any such increased costs resulting from taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto (as to which Section 2.16 (Taxes) shall govern), then the Borrowers shall from time to time,
upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to
the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be prima facie evidence thereof. 
 

 73 

Table of Contents

 No Borrower shall be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this clause (c) for any increased costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the
date that such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company of the events giving rise to such increased costs and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, however, that if the events giving rise to
such increased costs are retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
  
 (d)  Illegality.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of,
any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurocurrency Lending
Office to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, 
  
 (i)  the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or Euros (other
than the Tranche B Euro Loans) and to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended, and each such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or
Euros (other than the Tranche B Euro Loans), and if the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans are then outstanding, the applicable Borrower shall immediately convert each such Loan into a Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars (regardless of the currency
of such Loan); and 
  
 (ii)  with respect to Yen Revolving Loans and Tranche B Euro Loans, the
provisions of clause (b) of this Section 2.14 above shall apply. 
  
 If, at any time after a Lender gives notice under this Section
2.14(d), such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit
the notice to each other Lender. The Borrowers’ right to request, and such Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency shall thereupon be restored. 
  
 (e)  Breakage Costs.    In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to Section
2.10(Interest), the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender, upon demand, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by
such Lender to fund or maintain such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans to the Borrowers but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the relevant Loans) that such Lender may sustain (other than resulting from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Lender, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order) (i) if for any reason a proposed Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans does not occur
on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by a Borrower or in a telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion or continuation or a successive Interest Period does not commence after
notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 2.11 (Conversion/Continuation Option), (ii) if for any reason any Eurocurrency Rate Loan is prepaid (including mandatorily pursuant to Section 2.9 (Mandatory
Prepayments)) on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) as a consequence of a required conversion of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as a result of any of the events
indicated in 
 

 74 

Table of Contents

 clause (d) above or (iv) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrowers to repay Eurocurrency Rate Loans when required by the terms hereof. The
Lender making demand for such compensation shall deliver to the Borrowers concurrently with such demand a written statement as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall be prima facie evidence thereof. 

 
 SECTION 2.15
  Capital Adequacy 
  
 If at any time any Lender determines that
(a) the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement regarding capital adequacy, (b) compliance with any such law, treaty, rule, regulation
or order issued after the Closing Date or (c) compliance with any guideline or request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (having the force of law) issued after the Closing Date shall have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on such Lender’s (or any corporation controlling such Lender’s) capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation
could have achieved but for such adoption, change, compliance or interpretation, then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent by such
Lender shall be prima facie evidence thereof. No Borrower shall be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this clause (c) for any increased costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Company of the events giving rise to such increased costs and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, however, that if the events giving rise to such increased costs are
retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
  
 SECTION 2.16
  Taxes 
  
 (a)  Any and all payments or crediting of
amounts by any Loan Party under each Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, surtaxes, duties, fees, assessments, dues, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and
all liabilities with respect thereto excluding (i) in the case of each Lender, each Issuer and the Administrative Agent (A) taxes imposed on its net income, and capital and franchise taxes imposed on it by the jurisdiction (or any political
subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Lender, Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized and (B) any United States, Canadian, Dutch or Japanese withholding taxes payable with respect to payments or crediting of
amounts under the Loan Documents under laws (including any statute, treaty or regulation) in effect on the Closing Date (or, in the case of an Eligible Assignee, the date of the Assignment and Acceptance) applicable to such Lender, Issuer or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, but not excluding any United States, Canadian, Dutch or Japanese withholding taxes payable as a result of any change in such laws occurring after the Closing Date (or the date of such Assignment and
Acceptance, as applicable) and (ii) in the case of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and Issuer, taxes imposed on its net income, and capital and franchise taxes imposed on it as a result of a present or former connection between the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuer and the jurisdiction of the Government Authority imposing such tax or any taxing authority thereof or therein (all such non-excluded taxes, surtaxes, duties, fees, assessments, dues, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges, withholdings and 
 

 75 

Table of Contents

  
 liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes” ). If any Taxes shall be required by
law to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Lender, Issuer or the Administrative Agent (w) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions in respect of
Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) such Lender, Issuer 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, (x) the relevant Loan Party shall make such deductions, (y) the relevant Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (z) the relevant Loan Party
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment or other evidence of payment reasonably acceptable to such Lender, Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be. 

 
 (b)  In addition, each Loan Party shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property
taxes, charges or similar levies of the United States, any applicable foreign jurisdiction, or any political subdivision thereof and all liabilities with respect thereto, in each case arising from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the
execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”). 
  
 (c)  Each Loan Party shall indemnify each Lender, Issuer and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under
this Section 2.16) paid by such Lender, Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including for penalties, interest and expenses) that arise from any payment made or crediting of amounts hereunder or from the
execution, delivery or performance of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender, Issuer
or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. 
  
 (d)  Within 30 days after the
date of any payment made by a Loan Party of Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to the indemnity set forth in clause (c) above (other than by way of reimbursement directly paid to the Administrative Agent or a Lender), the relevant Loan Party shall
furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.), the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of payment thereof reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent. 
  
 (e)  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers, each
Lender, each Issuer and the Administrative Agent hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Loan Party contained in this Section 2.16 shall survive the payment in full of the Secured Obligations. 
  
 (f)  On or prior to the Closing Date in the case of each Non-U.S. Lender that makes a Loan to the Company and any other Lender that is not
a corporation that is a signatory hereto, and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender to the Company in the case of each other Non-U.S. Lender and any other Lender that is not a corporation and from time to
time thereafter if requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, each Non-U.S. Lender and any other Lender that is not a corporation that is entitled at such time to an exemption from United States withholding tax, or that is subject to
such tax at a reduced rate under an applicable tax treaty, shall provide the Administrative Agent and the 
 

 76 

Table of Contents

  
 Borrowers with two completed originals of one of the following: (i) Form W-9 (claiming that the Lender is a United
States person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (or any successor form), (ii) Form W-8ECI (claiming exemption from withholding because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business) (or any successor form), (iii)
Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under an income tax treaty) (or any successor form), (iv) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, a Form W-8BEN
(claiming exemption from withholding under the portfolio interest exemption) (or any successor form) or (v) any other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to such Non-U.S. Lender or such other non corporate
Lender's entitlement to such exemption from United States withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be made under the Loan Documents to such Non-U.S. Lender or any other Lender that is not a corporation. Unless the Borrowers
and the Administrative Agent have timely received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Non-U.S. Lender or any other Lender that is not a corporation are not subject to United
States withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Requirements of Law from such payments at the
applicable statutory rate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.16, no Loan Party shall be required to increase a payment to a Lender, Issuer or the Administrative Agent in respect of Taxes pursuant to clause (a) above
or to indemnify a Lender, Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) above where the Loans Party’s obligations pursuant to clause (a) or (c) arise as a result of the Lender, Issuer or the Administrative
Agent’s failure to provide the Loan Party with any form or certificate that it was required to provide pursuant to this clause (f). 
  
 (g)  Any Lender or Issuer claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall use its reasonable and good faith efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory
restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts which would be payable or may thereafter accrue and would not, in
the sole determination of such Lender or Issuer exercised reasonably, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuer. 
  
 (h)  If a Lender or the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion exercised reasonably that it has received or has been granted a credit against, or remission for, or a refund or a repayment of any Taxes (i) as
a result of a Loan Party’s deduction and payment to a taxing authority of an amount pursuant to clause (a) above or (ii) with respect to which a Loan Party has paid an amount to a Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause
(c) above, then the Lender or the Administrative Agent shall, within 30 days, pay the Loan Party the lesser of (y) the credit, remission, refund or repayment of Taxes received or granted and (z) the amount paid by the Loan Party pursuant to this
Section 2.16. 
  
 SECTION 2.17
  Substitution of Lenders    If (a)(i) any Lender makes a claim under Section 2.14(b)(ii) (Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair) or 2.15
(Capital Adequacy), (ii) it becomes illegal for any Lender to continue to fund or make any Eurocurrency Rate Loan and such Lender notifies the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.14(d) (Illegality), (iii) the Borrowers are required to make
any payment pursuant to Section 2.16 (Taxes) that is attributable to a particular Lender or (iv) any Lender becomes a Non-Funding Lender, (b) in the case of clause (a)(i) above, as a consequence of increased costs in respect of which
such claim is made, the effective rate of interest payable to such Lender under this Agreement with respect to its 
 

 77 

Table of Contents

  
 Loans materially exceeds the effective average annual rate of interest payable to the Requisite Lenders under this
Agreement and (c) Lenders holding at least 66 2/3% of the Commitments in the applicable Facility are not subject to such
increased costs or illegality, payment or proceedings (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), the Borrowers may substitute another financial institution for such Affected Lender hereunder, upon reasonable prior written notice
(which written notice must be given within 90 days following the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (a)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above) by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender that the
Borrowers intend to make such substitution, which substitute financial institution must be an Eligible Assignee and, if not a Lender, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that, if more than one Lender claims
increased costs, illegality or right to payment arising from the same act or condition and such claims are received by the Borrowers within 30 days of each other, then the Borrowers may substitute all, but not (except to the extent the Borrowers
have already substituted one of such Affected Lenders before the Borrowers’ receipt of the other Affected Lenders’ claim) less than all, Lenders making such claims. If the proposed substitute financial institution or other entity is
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the written notice was properly issued under this Section 2.17, the Affected Lender shall sell and the substitute financial institution or other entity shall purchase, pursuant to an
Assignment and Acceptance, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents and the substitute financial institution or other entity shall assume and the Affected Lender shall be relieved of its Commitments and all other prior
unperformed obligations of the Affected Lender under the Loan Documents (other than in respect of any damages (other than exemplary or punitive damages, to the extent permitted by applicable law) in respect of any such unperformed obligations) and
the provisions of Section 11.2 (Assignments and Participations) applicable to assignees thereunder shall apply to any assignee under this Section 2.17.

obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender. The terms “Lenders”, “Requisite Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include,
without limitation, the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or as one of the Requisite Lenders. CUSA and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other
business with, any Loan Party as if CUSA were not acting as the Administrative Agent. 
  
 SECTION 10.4
  Lender Credit Decision    Each Lender and each Issuer acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender conduct its
own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the JD Entities in connection with the making and continuance of the Loans and with the issuance of the Letters of Credit. Each Lender and each Issuer also acknowledges that it
shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking
action under this Agreement and other Loan Documents. 
  
 SECTION 10.5
  Indemnification    Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and
advisors (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the Borrowers’ obligations to do so), from and against such Lender’s aggregate Ratable Portion of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or such Affiliate’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of
any out-of-pocket expenses (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not
reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrowers or another Loan Party. 
  
 SECTION 10.6
  Successor Administrative Agent    The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the
Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the
retiring 
 

 122 

Table of Contents

  
 Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf
of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, selected from among the Lenders. In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrowers (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall
not be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring
Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. After such resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent shall
continue to have the benefit of this Article X as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
  

SECTION 10.7
  Concerning the Collateral and the Collateral Documents 
  
 (a)  Each
Lender and each Issuer agrees that any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, where required by the express terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders, Issuers and other Secured Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and
authority to (i) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Lenders and the Issuers with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection herewith and with the Collateral Documents, (ii) execute and deliver each Collateral
Document and accept delivery of each such agreement delivered by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) act as collateral agent for the Lenders, the Issuers and the other Secured Parties for purposes of the perfection of all security
interests and Liens created by such agreements and all other purposes stated therein, provided, however, that the Administrative Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and directs each Lender and Issuer to act as collateral sub-agent for
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers for purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens with respect to the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ respective Deposit Accounts maintained with, and cash and Cash
Equivalents held by, such Lender or such Issuer, (iv) manage, supervise and otherwise deal with the Collateral, (v) take such action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interests and Liens created or
purported to be created by the Collateral Documents and (vi) except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof or of any other Loan Document, exercise all remedies given to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuers and
the other Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral under the Loan Documents relating thereto, applicable law or otherwise. 
  
 (b)  Each of the Lenders and the Issuers hereby directs, in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent to release (or, in the case of clause (ii) below, release or subordinate)
any Lien held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuers against any of the following: 
 

 123 

Table of Contents

 (i)  all of the Collateral, upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full of
all Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all other Secured Obligations that the Administrative Agent has been notified in writing are then due and payable (and, in respect of contingent Letter of Credit Obligations, with respect to which cash
collateral has been deposited or a back-up letter of credit has been issued, in either case on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuers); 
  
 (ii)  any assets that are subject to a Lien permitted by Section 8.2(d),  (e) or  (h) (Liens, Etc.); and

  
 (iii)  any part of the Collateral sold or disposed of by a Loan Party (including against any
assets of a Loan Party, the Stock of which is being sold or disposed of) if such sale or disposition is permitted by this Agreement (or permitted pursuant to a waiver or consent of a transaction otherwise prohibited by this Agreement) other than an
Asset Sale pursuant to Section 8.4(e) or Section 8.4(g) (Sale of Assets) or, if not pursuant to such sale or disposition, if such release is consented to by the Lenders required to consent thereto under Section 11.1(Amendments,
Waivers, Etc.). 
  
 (c)  Each of the Lenders and the Issuers hereby directs, in accordance with the terms hereof,
the Administrative Agent to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable Guaranty if the Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor is being sold or disposed of, if such sale or disposition is permitted by this Agreement (or
permitted pursuant to a waiver or consent of a transaction otherwise prohibited by this Agreement) other than an Asset Sale pursuant to Section 8.4(e) (Sale of Assets) or, if not pursuant to such sale or disposition, if such release is
consented to by the Lenders required to consent thereto under Section 11.1 (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.). 
  
 Each of the Lenders and the
Issuers hereby directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver or file such termination and partial release statements and do such other things as are necessary to release Liens to be released pursuant to this Section 10.7 promptly
upon the effectiveness of any such release. 
  
 SECTION 10.8
  Collateral Matters Relating to Related Obligations    The benefit of the Loan Documents and of the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Collateral shall extend to and be
available in respect of any Secured Obligation arising under any Hedging Contract or that is otherwise owed to Persons other than the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers (collectively, “Related Obligations”) solely on
the condition and understanding, as among the Administrative Agent and all Secured Parties, that (a) the Related Obligations shall be entitled to the benefit of the Loan Documents and the Collateral to the extent expressly set forth in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to such extent the Administrative Agent shall hold, and have the right and power to act with respect to, each Guaranty and the Collateral on behalf of and as agent for the holders of the Related
Obligations, but the Administrative Agent is otherwise acting solely as agent for the Lenders and the Issuers and shall have no fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Related
Obligations, (b) all matters, acts and omissions relating in any manner to any Guaranty, the Collateral, or the omission, creation, perfection, priority, abandonment or release of any Lien, shall be governed solely by the provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and no separate Lien, right, power or remedy shall arise or exist in favor of any Secured Party under any separate instrument or agreement or in respect of any Related Obligation, (c) each Secured 

 124 

Table of Contents

  
 Party shall be bound Documents, by the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders, each of whom shall be
entitled to act at its sole discretion and exclusively in its own interest given its own Revolving Credit Commitments and its own interest in the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and other Obligations to it arising under this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, without any duty or liability to any other Secured Party or as to any Related Obligation and without regard to whether any Related Obligation remains outstanding or is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral or becomes
unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, (d) no holder of Related Obligations and no other Secured Party (except the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers, to the extent set forth in this Agreement) shall have any
right to be notified of, or to direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under this Agreement or the Loan Documents and (e) no holder of any Related Obligation shall exercise any right
of setoff, banker's lien or similar right except as expressly provided in Section 11.6 (Right of Set-off). 
  
 Section 10.9  
Matters relating to Dutch Collateral 
  
 (a)  Each of the Lenders and
Issuers and the other parties to this Agreement hereby agrees and acknowledges that, solely for the purposes of perfecting and enforcing the interest of the Secured Parties by the Administrative Agent against Collateral governed by the Collateral
Documents governed by the laws of The Netherlands (the “Dutch Law Collateral Documents”): 
  
 (i)  the Loan Parties that are party to the Dutch Law Collateral Documents are undertaking to pay to CUSA, in its own capacity and not as agent the Parallel Debt; 
  
 (ii)  the Parallel Debt is a claim of CUSA which is independent and separate from, and without prejudice to, the claims of the Lenders and Issuers in
respect of the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents; 
  
 (iii)  the Parallel Debt
is not a claim which is held jointly with the Secured Parties and consequently, that the laws of The Netherlands governing the joint holding (gemeenschap) of claims are not applicable to the Parallel Debt or to claims of the Lenders and
Issuers in respect of such obligations and to the extent any such laws are applicable, the applicability of such laws is hereby expressly waived to the extent possible and permitted as matter of applicable law; 
  
 (iv)  every payment of monies made by a Loan Party to a Secured Party towards or in satisfaction of the Secured
Obligations of such Loan Party shall be in satisfaction pro tanto of the Parallel Debt, provided that if any payment as mentioned above is subsequently avoided or reduced by virtue of any provisions or enactments relating to
bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or similar laws of general application, CUSA shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment from the Loan Parties under the Parallel Debt and each Loan Party shall remain liable under the Parallel Debt to
perform its relevant obligations and the relevant liability of the Loan Parties shall be deemed not to have been discharged; 
  
 (v)  subject to the proviso in clause (iv) above, but notwithstanding any of the other provisions of the Loan Documents: 
 

 125 

Table of Contents

 (A)  the total amount due and payable as Parallel Debt shall be decreased to the extent that any Loan
Party shall have paid any amount to any Secured Party or any of them to reduce the total amount due and payable under the Loan Documents; and 
  
 (B)  to the extent that the Loan Parties shall have paid any amounts to CUSA under the Parallel Debt or CUSA shall have otherwise received monies in payment of the Parallel Debt, the total amount due
and payable under the Loan Documents shall be decreased as if such amounts were received directly by the Secured Parties in payment of the outstanding obligations under the Loan Documents. 
  
 (b)  CUSA, acting in its own capacity, hereby agrees to apply all proceeds that it receives in connection with any enforcement action taken under or pursuant to the Dutch
Law Collateral Documents, or otherwise in satisfaction in whole or in part of the Parallel Debt, mutatis mutandis in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement for the application of proceeds by the Administrative Agent.

  
 SECTION 10.10  
Matters Relating to French Collateral 
  
 (a)  Solely with respect to
each Loan Party incorporated in France or holding Collateral located in France and without limiting any other provision in this Agreement, each Borrower and each Lender agrees that the Administrative Agent shall be the joint creditor (together with
the relevant Lender) of each and every obligation of any Borrower and each Loan Party towards each of the Lenders under or in connection with the Facilities, and that accordingly the Administrative Agent will have its own independent right to demand
performance by the relevant Borrower and each Loan Party of those obligations and to enforce any rights and remedies relating to Collateral located in, or owned by any Loan Party incorporated in, France. However, any discharge of any such obligation
to the Administrative Agent or a Lender shall, to the same extent, discharge the corresponding obligation owing to the other. 
  
 (b)  Without limiting or affecting the Administrative Agent’s rights against any Borrower or other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent agrees with each other Lender that it will not exercise its rights as a joint
creditor with respect to the rights of any Lender except with the consent of the Requisite Lenders in connection with the exercise of remedies against a Loan Party; provided, however, that nothing herein shall in any way limit the
Administrative Agent’s right to act in the protection or preservation of its rights under, or to enforce any, Loan Document as contemplated by the Loan Documents.

rights proportionate to the commitments of such new lenders 
  
 and; provided, further, that 
  
 (A)  any waiver of, or modification of the application of payments to the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.9

 (b) The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the written concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications,
waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on the Borrowers in any case shall entitle the Borrowers
to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

 128 

Table of Contents

  
 Administrative Agent or an Eligible Assignee acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, prior to an Event of
Default that is continuing, the Company, shall have the right with the Administrative Agent's consent and in the Administrative Agent's sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such
Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, upon the Administrative Agent's request, sell and assign to the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent or such Eligible Assignee, all of the Commitments, Term Loans, Dollar/Euro Revolving Credit
Outstandings and Yen Revolving Credit Outstandings of such Non-Consenting Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of
sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment and Acceptance. 
  
 SECTION 11.2
  Assignments and Participations 
  
 (a)  Each Lender may sell,
transfer, negotiate or assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans, the Revolving Loans, the Swing Loans and the
Letters of Credit); provided, however, that: 
  
 (i)  (A) if any such assignment shall
be of the assigning Lender’s Dollar/Euro Revolving Credit Outstandings or Yen Revolving Credit Outstandings and related Revolving Credit Commitment, such assignment shall cover the same percentage of such Lender’s Dollar/Euro Revolving
Credit Outstandings or Yen Revolving Credit Outstandings, respectively, and related Revolving Credit Commitment, and (B) if any such assignment shall be of the assigning Lender’s Tranche A Loans, Tranche B Dollar Loans, Tranche B Euro Loans or
Tranche C Loans, and related Commitments, such assignment shall cover the same percentage of such Lender’s Tranche A Loans, Tranche B Dollar Loans, Tranche B Euro Loans, or Tranche C Loans respectively, and related Commitment, 

 
 (ii)  the aggregate amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the
Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event (if less than the Assignor’s entire interest) be less than the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof (other than with respect of any assignment of which either Arranger is the assignee or the assignor), except, in either case, (A) with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent or (B) if such assignment is being made to a
Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender or Approved Fund of any Lender, 
  
 (iii)  if such Eligible
Assignee is not, prior to the date of such assignment, a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender, such assignment shall be subject to the prior consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed); and provided, further, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 11.2, the consent of the Borrowers shall not be required for any assignment occurring when any Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, 
  
 (iv)  any such assignment need not be ratable as among any
of the Facilities. 
 

 129 

Table of Contents

 (b)  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and
recording, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by a Note) subject to such assignment. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording and the receipt by the Administrative
Agent from the assignee of an assignment fee in the amount of $1,000 (other than with respect of any assignment of which either Arranger is the assignee or the assignor), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance,
(i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a
Lender, and if such Lender were an Issuer, of such Issuer hereunder and thereunder, and (ii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such
assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). 
  
 (c)  The Administrative Agent, acting on behalf of the Borrowers, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.8
(Notices, Etc.) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and shall maintain a register for the recording of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the Issuers and the Commitments of and principal amount of the
Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations owing to each Lender and to each Issuer from time to time (the “Register”). Any assignment pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall not be effective until such assignment is recorded in the
Register. The entries in the Register shall be prima facie evidence thereof, and the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the Issuers may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender or as an
Issuer, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
  
 (d)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clause (c) above, the Loans (including the Notes
evidencing such Loans) and the Letters of Credit are registered obligations and the right, title, and interest of the Lenders and their assignees in and to such Loans and the right, title, and interest of the Issuers and their assignees in and to
such Letters of Credit shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register. A Note shall only evidence the Lender’s or an assignee’s right title and interest in and to the related Loan, and in no event is any such
Note to be considered a bearer instrument or obligation within the meaning of Section 163(f) of the Code. This Section 11.2 shall be construed so that the Loans and the Letters of Credit are at all times maintained in “registered
form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code and any related regulations (or any successor provisions of the Internal Revenue Code or such regulations). Solely for purposes of
this Section 11.2 and for tax purposes only, the Administrative Agent shall act as the Borrowers’ agent for purposes of maintaining such notations of transfer in the Register. 
  

(e)  Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and
Acceptance has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrowers. Within ten Business Days after its receipt of such
notice, the Borrowers, at their own expense, 
 

 130 

Table of Contents

 shall, if requested by such assignee, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent new Notes to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the
Commitments and Loans assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has surrendered any Note for exchange in connection with the assignment and has retained Commitments or Loans hereunder, new Notes to the
order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitments and Loans retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be dated the same date as the surrendered Notes and be in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 (Form of
Revolving Credit Note) or Exhibit B-2 (Form of Term Note), as applicable. 
  
 (f)  In addition to the other assignment rights provided in this Section 11.2, each Lender may (i) grant to a Special Purpose Vehicle the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be
required to make hereunder and the exercise of such option by any such Special Purpose Vehicle and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy (once and to the extent that such Loans are made) the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans
thereunder; provided, however, that nothing herein shall constitute a commitment or an offer to commit by such a Special Purpose Vehicle to make Loans hereunder and no such Special Purpose Vehicle shall be liable for any indemnity or
other obligation (other than the making of Loans for which such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have exercised an option, and then only in accordance with the relevant option agreement), and (ii) assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights
under this Agreement (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans) to (x) any Federal Reserve Bank pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board without notice to or consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative
Agent, (y) to any bona fide holder of, any financial trustee for any holder of, any collateral agent for any holder of, or any other representative of holder of, obligations owed or securities issued, by such fund, as security for such
obligations or securities without notice to or consent of the Borrowers or Administrative Agent; provided that in so acting such holder, trustee, collateral agent or other representative is acting in its normal course of business, and (z) to
any Special Purpose Vehicle to which such Lender has granted an option pursuant to clause (i) above; and provided, further, that no such assignment or grant shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder except
as expressly provided in clause (i) above. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any such Special
Purpose Vehicle, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Special Purpose Vehicle that has been granted an option pursuant to this clause (f) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation
proceeding (such agreement shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations). 
  
 (g)  Each Lender may, without
notice to or consent of the Borrowers or Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the
Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit). The terms of such participation shall not, in any event, require the participant’s consent to any amendments, waivers or other modifications of any provision of any Loan Documents, the consent
to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or to the exercising or refraining from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce the obligations of the Loan
Parties), except if any such amendment, waiver or other modification or consent would (i) reduce the amount, or postpone any date fixed for, any amount (whether of principal, interest or fees) payable to such participant under the Loan Documents, to
which such participant would otherwise be entitled under such participation or (ii) result in the release of all or substantially all of the Collateral other than in accordance with Section 10.7(b) (Concerning  
 

 131 

Table of Contents

  
 the Collateral and the Collateral Documents). In the event of the sale of any participation by any Lender,

and expenses of financial and legal advisors to any such Indemnitee) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in connection with or arising out of any investigation, litigation or proceeding, whether or not any
such Indemnitee is a party thereto, whether direct, indirect, or consequential and whether based on any federal, state, provincial or local law or other statutory regulation, securities or commercial law or regulation, or under common law or in
equity, or on contract, tort or otherwise, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Secured Obligation, any Letter of Credit, any Disclosure Document, any Related Document, or any act, event or

Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, (49 U.S.C. § 9601 et seq.) and applicable state property transfer laws, whether, with respect to any such matter, such Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold
mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor in interest to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries by virtue of foreclosure, except, with respect to those
matters referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, to the extent (x) incurred following foreclosure by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer, or the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer
having become the successor in interest to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries and (y) attributable solely to acts of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer or any agent on behalf of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such
Issuer.

 (c)  The Borrowers, at the request of any Indemnitee, shall have the obligation to defend against such investigation, litigation or
proceeding or requested Remedial Action and the Borrowers, in any event, may participate in the defense thereof with legal counsel of the Borrowers’ choice. In the event that such Indemnitee requests the Borrowers to defend against such
investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, the Borrowers shall promptly do so and such Indemnitee shall have the right to have legal counsel of its choice participate in such defense. No action taken by legal counsel
chosen by such Indemnitee in defending against any such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, shall vitiate or in any way impair the Borrowers’ obligation and duty hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless such
Indemnitee. 
  
 (d)  The Borrowers agree that any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee
pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 11.4) or any other Loan Document shall (i) survive payment in full of the Secured Obligations and (ii) inure to the benefit of any Person that was at any time an Indemnitee under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
  
 SECTION 11.5  
Limitation of Liability     The Borrowers agree that no Indemnitee shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to any Loan Party or any of their
respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective equity holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in the other Loan Documents and Related Documents, except for direct damages (as opposed to special,
indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings)) determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to 
 

 134 

Table of Contents

 have resulted from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Holdings and each Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees (each for
itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries) not to sue upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. 
  
 SECTION 11.6
  Right of Set-off     Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default each Lender and each Affiliate of a Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from
time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or its Affiliates to
or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers against any and all of the Secured Obligations now or hereafter existing whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and even though such
Secured Obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers in writing after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice
shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 11.6 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have. 

 
     SECTION 11.7
  Sharing of Payments, Etc. 
  
 (a)  If any Lender shall at any time
obtain any payment of the Loans owing to it, any interest thereon, fees in respect thereof or amounts due pursuant to Section 11.3 (Costs and Expenses), 11.4 (Indemnities) (other than payments pursuant to Section
2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurocurrency Rate Loans), 2.15 (Capital Adequacy), 2.16 (Taxes)) or Section 11.6 (Right of Set-off) or receives any Collateral in respect thereof (in either case,
whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) in excess of its Ratable Portion of all payments of such Obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender (a “Purchasing Lender”) shall
forthwith purchase from the other Lenders (each, a “Selling Lender”) such participations in their Loans or other Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such Purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of
them. 
  
 (b)  If all or any portion of any payment received by a Purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such
Purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Selling Lender shall be rescinded and such Selling Lender shall repay to the Purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Selling Lender’s
ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Selling Lender’s required repayment in relation to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the Purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the
purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. 
  
 (c)  The Borrowers agree that any Purchasing
Lender so purchasing a participation from a Selling Lender pursuant to this Section 11.7 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as
fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation. 
  
 (d) This Section
11.7 may be changed only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in addition to the Super Majority Lenders.

provided by law. 
  
 (ii)  Holdings and the Company hereby irrevocably consent to the service of any

from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which sum is denominated in accordance

Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the
Administrative Agent in the Agreement Currency, each Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss.

REMEDIAL PROVISIONS 
  
 SECTION 5.1  
Code and Other Remedies 
  
 During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative
Agent may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under
the UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by
law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon any
Collateral, and may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver any Collateral (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any
exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without
assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold,
free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the
Administrative Agent at places that the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section
5.1, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent
and any other Secured Party hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as the Credit Agreement shall prescribe, and only after such application
and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all
claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required
by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. 
  
 SECTION 5.2  
Accounts and Payments in Respect of General Intangibles 
  
 (a)  If required by the
Administrative Agent at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payment of Accounts or payment in respect of General Intangibles, when collected by any Grantor, shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days)

 

 19 

Table of Contents

 deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent if required, in an Approved Deposit
Account or a Cash Collateral Account, subject to withdrawal by the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 5.4 (Proceeds to be Turned Over To Administrative Agent). Until so turned over, such payment shall be held by such Grantor in trust
for the Administrative Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Accounts and payments in respect of General Intangibles shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and
source of the payments included in the deposit. 
  
 (b)  At the Administrative Agent’s request, during the
continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions that gave rise to the Accounts or payments in respect of General
Intangibles, including all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts. 
  
 (c)  The Administrative Agent may,
without notice, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, limit or terminate the authority of a Grantor to collect its Accounts or amounts due under General Intangibles or any thereof. 
  
 (d)  Upon notice to the applicable Grantors, the Administrative Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time during the
continuance of an Event of Default communicate with Account Debtors to verify with them to the Administrative Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Account or amounts due under any General Intangible. 

 
 (e)  Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall
notify Account Debtors that the Accounts or General Intangibles have been collaterally assigned to the Administrative Agent and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent. In addition, the Administrative
Agent may at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default enforce such Grantor’s rights against such Account Debtors and obligors of General Intangibles. 
  
 (f)  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Accounts and payments in respect of General Intangibles to observe
and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any
obligation or liability under any agreement giving rise to an Account or a payment in respect of a General Intangible by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party of any payment
relating thereto, nor shall the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any obligation of any Grantor under or pursuant to any agreement giving rise to an Account or a payment in respect of a General
Intangible, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce
any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

 SECTION 5.3  
Pledged Collateral 
  
 (a)  During the continuance of an Event of Default, upon
notice by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral and make
application thereof to the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in the Credit Agreement and (ii) the Administrative Agent or its nominee may exercise (A) any voting, consent, corporate and other right pertaining to the Pledged Collateral at
any meeting of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, of the relevant issuer or issuers of Pledged Collateral or otherwise and (B) any right of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other right, privilege or option pertaining
to the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the
corporate, partnership or limited liability company structure of any issuer of Pledged Collateral, the right to deposit and deliver any Pledged Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such
terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any
such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. 
  
 (b)  In order to permit the Administrative Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions that it may be
entitled to receive hereunder, (i) each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Administrative Agent all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Administrative Agent may
from time to time reasonably request and (ii) without limiting the effect of clause (i) above, such Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable proxy to vote all or any part of the Pledged Collateral and to exercise all other
rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Collateral would be entitled (including giving or withholding written consents of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, calling special meetings of
shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Collateral on the record books of the
issuer thereof) by any other person (including the issuer of such Pledged Collateral or any officer or agent thereof) during the continuance of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only terminate upon the payment in full of the Secured
Obligations. 
  
 (c)  Each Grantor hereby expressly authorizes and instructs each issuer of any Pledged Collateral
pledged hereunder by such Grantor to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing that (A) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that such issuer shall be fully protected in so complying and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividend or other payment
with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to the Administrative Agent for deposit in a Cash Collateral Account or, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, an Approved Deposit Account.

Table of Contents

  
 SECTION 5.4  
Proceeds to be Turned Over To Administrative Agent 
  
 All Proceeds received by the
Administrative Agent under this Article V shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a Cash Collateral Account. All Proceeds while held by the Administrative Agent in a Cash Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative
Agent) shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in the Credit Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 5.5  
Registration Rights 
  
 (a)  If the Administrative Agent shall determine to
exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Equity Collateral pursuant to Section 5.1 (Code and Other Remedies), and if in the opinion of the Administrative Agent it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Equity Collateral, or
any portion thereof to be registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Grantor shall cause the issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such issuer to execute and deliver, all such
instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Equity Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the
provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Equity
Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold and (iii) make all amendments thereto or to the related prospectus that, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities
Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Each Grantor agrees to cause such issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws or other comparable laws of
any jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

  
 (b)  Each Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any Pledged
Equity Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Securities Act (Ontario) or otherwise or may determine that a public sale is impracticable or not commercially reasonable
and, accordingly, may resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers that shall be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the
distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such
private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any Pledged Equity Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof
to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, under applicable state securities laws or under the Securities Act (Ontario), in each case even if such issuer would agree to do so. 
  
 (c)  Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or
sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity Collateral pursuant to this Section 5.5 valid and binding and in compliance with all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any covenant contained
in this Section 5.5 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and other 
 

 22 

Table of Contents

 Secured Parties, that the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a
consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 5.5 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense against an action for specific performance of
such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 5.6  
Deficiency 
  
 Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any
sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorney employed by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency. 

 
 ARTICLE VI 
  
 
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
  
 SECTION 6.1  
Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact 
  
 (a)  Each Grantor
hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such
Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any appropriate action and to execute any document and instrument that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the
purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any of the
following:

indorse and collect any check, draft, note, acceptance or other instrument for the payment of moneys due under any Account or General Intangible or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any
court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any such moneys due under any Account or General Intangible or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable; 

 
 (ii)  in the case of any Material Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any agreement,
instrument, document and paper as the Administrative Agent may request to evidence the Administrative Agent’s security interest in such Material Intellectual Property and the goodwill and General Intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or
represented thereby; 
  
 (iii)  pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened
against the Collateral, effect any repair or pay or discharge any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement (including all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof); 
  

(iv)  execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5.1 (Code and Other Remedies) or 5.5 (Registration Rights), any

Table of Contents

  
 (v)  (A)  direct any party liable for any payment under
any Collateral to make payment of any moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct, (B) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any moneys, claims
and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral, (C) sign and indorse any invoice, freight or express bill, bill of lading, storage or warehouse receipt, draft against debtors, assignment,
verification, notice and other document in connection with any Collateral, (D) commence and prosecute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to
enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral, (E) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral, (F) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection
therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate, (G) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Trademark pertains) throughout the world for such
term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner as the Administrative Agent shall in its sole discretion determine, including the execution and filing of any document necessary to effectuate or record such assignment and (H) generally, sell,
transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Administrative Agent’s
option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things that the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s and the other
Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do. 
  
 Anything in this clause (a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent agrees that it shall not exercise any right under the power of attorney provided for in this clause (a) unless an Event of Default
shall be continuing. 
  
 (b)  If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein,
the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement. 
  
 (c)  The expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1, together with interest thereon at a
rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Administrative Agent to the date reimbursed by the
relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent on demand. 
  
 (d)  Each Grantor
hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated
and the security interests created hereby are released. 
  
 SECTION 6.2  
Duty of Administrative Agent 
  
 The Administrative Agent’s sole duty with respect to
the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same 
 

 24 

Table of Contents

 manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Administrative Agent, any other Secured Party nor any of
their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon
the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any Collateral or any party thereof. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative
Agent’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts
that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for
their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  
 SECTION 6.3  
Execution of Financing Statements 
  
 Each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to
file or record financing statements (including continuations thereof and any new financing statement containing a description of the Collateral granted hereunder as “all assets” or “all property”) and other filing
or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the
Administrative Agent under this Agreement. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.

  
 SECTION 6.4  
Authority of Administrative Agent 
  
 Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and
responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right
or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist
from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and the Grantors, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties with full and valid
authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority. 
  
 SECTION 6.5  Matters Relating to Dutch Collateral 
  
 (a)  Each Grantor party hereto and the Administrative Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that, solely for the purposes of perfecting and enforcing the interest of the Secured Parties against Collateral governed by the
Collateral Documents governed by the laws of The Netherlands (the “Dutch Law Collateral Documents”): 
  
 (i)  the Loan Parties that are party to the Dutch Law Collateral Documents are undertaking to pay to CUSA, in its own capacity and not as agent, the Parallel Debt; 
 

 25 

Table of Contents

  
 (ii)  the Parallel Debt is a claim of CUSA which is independent
and separate from, and without prejudice to, the claims of the Lenders and Issuers in respect of the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents; 
  
 (iii)  the Parallel Debt is not a claim which is held jointly with the Secured Parties and consequently, that the laws of The Netherlands governing the
joint holding (gemeenschap) of claims are not applicable to the Parallel Debt or to claims of the Lenders and Issuers in respect of such obligations and to the extent any such laws are applicable, the applicability of such laws is hereby
expressly waived to the extent possible and permitted as matter of applicable law; 
  
 (iv)  every
payment of monies made by a Loan Party to a Secured Party towards or in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations of such Loan Party shall be in satisfaction pro tanto of the Parallel Debt, provided that if any payment as mentioned above
is subsequently avoided or reduced by virtue of any provisions or enactments relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or similar laws of general application, CUSA shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment from the Loan Parties
under the Parallel Debt and each Loan Party shall remain liable under the Parallel Debt to perform its relevant obligations and the relevant liability of the Loan Parties shall be deemed not to have been discharged; 
  
 (v)  subject to the proviso in clause (iv) above, but notwithstanding any of the other provisions of the Loan
Documents: 
  
 (A)  the total amount due and payable as Parallel Debt shall be decreased to the
extent that any Loan Party shall have paid any amount to the Secured Parties or any of them to reduce the total amount due and payable under the Loan Documents; and 
  
 (B)  to the extent that the Loan Parties shall have paid any amounts to CUSA under the Parallel Debt or CUSA shall have otherwise received monies in payment
of the Parallel Debt, the total amount due and payable under the Loan Documents shall be decreased as if such amounts were received directly by the Secured Parties in payment of the outstanding obligations under the Loan Documents. 

 
 (b)  CUSA, acting in its own capacity, hereby agrees to apply all proceeds that it receives in connection with any enforcement
action taken under or pursuant to the Dutch Law Collateral Documents, or otherwise in satisfaction in whole or in part of the Parallel Debt, mutatis mutandis in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement for the application of proceeds
by the Administrative Agent.

7.3  
No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies 
  
 Neither the Administrative Agent nor
any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 7.1 (Amendments in Writing)), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced
in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or
partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or

be returned by any Secured Party to such Loan Party, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including any Grantor, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or
repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made or, if prior thereto the Lien granted hereby or other Collateral securing such liability
hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of such cancellation or surrender), such Lien or other Collateral shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release,
