Security (a) when a registration statement covering such Registrable Security becomes or has been declared effective by the Commission and such Registrable Security has been sold or disposed of pursuant to such effective registration statement;

effect) under the Securities Act, assuming the Holder of such Registrable Security is not an affiliate (as defined in Rule 144(a)(1)) of the Partnership. 
 ARTICLE II 
 REGISTRATION RIGHTS 

Section 2.01 Registration. 
 (a) Effectiveness Deadline. No later than 45 days following the Closing Date, the Partnership shall prepare and file a registration statement under the Securities Act to permit the public resale of
Registrable Securities then outstanding from time to time as permitted by Rule 415 of the Securities Act with respect to all of the Registrable Securities (the “Registration Statement,” which term shall include any additional
registration statement(s) effected pursuant to Holders’ option stated below). The Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.01(a) shall be on such appropriate registration form of the Commission as shall be selected by
the Partnership so long as it permits the continuous offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act or such other rule as is then applicable at the then prevailing market prices. The Partnership shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective on or as soon as practicable after the Closing Date 

  
 3 

 
(the “Registration Effective Date”). Any Registration Statement shall provide for the resale pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and
requested by, the Holders of any and all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement. The Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement filed pursuant to this
Section 2.01(a) to be effective, supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for the resale of all Registrable Securities by the Holders for at least one year following the Registration Effective Date
(the “Effectiveness Period”). Any Holders holding at least $10.0 million of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities (calculated based on the Common Unit Price) shall have the option to request that up to two additional one-year
registration statements be filed, or that the Registration Statement be maintained in effect for up to two additional years, such that the Registrable Securities are registrable under an effective registration statement for a continuous period of up
to three years from the Registration Effective Date, in which case the Effectiveness Period shall be deemed to include such extension(s) and the Registration Statement shall be deemed to include such additional registration statements, if
applicable. The Registration Statement when effective (including the documents incorporated therein by reference) will comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and will
not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, in
the light of the circumstances under which a statement is made). As soon as practicable following the date that the Registration Statement becomes effective, but in any event within two (2) Business Days of such date, the Partnership shall
provide the Holders with written notice of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. 
 (b) Failure to Go
Effective. If the Registration Statement required by Section 2.01(a) is not declared effective by May 2, 2013, then each Holder shall be entitled to a payment (with respect to the Purchased Units of each such Holder), as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, of 0.25% of the Liquidated Damages Multiplier per 30-day period, that shall accrue daily, for the first 60 days following May 2, 2013, increasing by an additional 0.25% of the Liquidated Damages
Multiplier per 30-day period, that shall accrue daily, for each subsequent 60 days (i.e., 0.5% for 61-120 days, 0.75% for 121-180 days and 1.0% thereafter), up to a maximum of 1.00% of the Liquidated Damages Multiplier per 30-day period (the
“Liquidated Damages”). The Liquidated Damages payable pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be payable within ten (10) Business Days after the end of each such 30-day period. Any Liquidated Damages shall be paid
to each Holder in immediately available funds; provided, however, if the Partnership certifies that it is unable to pay Liquidated Damages in cash because such payment would result in a breach under a credit facility or other debt
instrument, then the Partnership may pay the Liquidated Damages in kind in the form of the issuance of additional Common Units. Upon any issuance of Common Units as Liquidated Damages, the Partnership shall promptly (i) prepare and file an
amendment to the Registration Statement prior to its effectiveness adding such Common Units to such Registration Statement as additional Registrable Securities and (ii) prepare and file a supplemental listing application with the NYSE (or such
other market on which the Registrable Securities are then listed and traded) to list such additional Common Units. The determination of the number of Common Units to be issued as Liquidated Damages shall be equal to the amount of Liquidated Damages
divided by the volume-weighted average closing price of the Common Units on the NYSE (or such other market on which the Registrable Securities are then listed and traded) over the consecutive ten (10) trading day period ending on

  
 4 

 
the close of trading on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Liquidated Damages payment is due, less a discount to such average closing price of 2.00%. The accrual of
Liquidated Damages to a Holder shall cease at the earlier of (i) the Registration Statement becoming effective or (ii) when such Holder no longer holds Registrable Securities, and any payment of Liquidated Damages shall be prorated for any
period of less than 30 days in which the payment of Liquidated Damages ceases. If the Partnership is unable to cause a Registration Statement to go effective within 90 days after the Closing Date as a result of an acquisition, merger,
reorganization, disposition or other similar transaction, then the Partnership may request a waiver of the Liquidated Damages, and each Holder may individually grant or withhold its consent to such request in its discretion. 

Section 2.02 Piggyback Rights. 
 (a) Participation. So long as a holder has Registrable Securities, if the Partnership proposes to file (i) a shelf registration statement other than the Registration Statement contemplated by
Section 2.01(a), (ii) a prospectus supplement to an effective shelf registration statement, other than the Registration Statement contemplated by Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement and Holders may be included in such
Underwritten Offering without the filing of a post-effective amendment thereto, or (iii) a registration statement, other than a shelf registration statement, in each case, for the sale of Common Units in an Underwritten Offering for its own
account and/or another Person, then as soon as practicable following the engagement of counsel by the Partnership to prepare the documents to be used in connection with an Underwritten Offering, the Partnership shall give notice (including, but not
limited to, notification by electronic mail) of such proposed Underwritten Offering to each Holder (together with its Affiliates) holding at least $10.0 million of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities (calculated based on the Common Unit
Price) and such notice shall offer such Holders the opportunity to include in such Underwritten Offering such number of Registrable Securities (the “Included Registrable Securities”) as each such Holder may request in writing;
provided, however, that (A) the Partnership shall not be required to provide such opportunity to any such Holder that does not offer a minimum of $5.0 million of Registrable Securities (based on the Common Unit Price), and (B) if
the Partnership has been advised by the Managing Underwriter that the inclusion of Registrable Securities for sale for the benefit of the Holders will have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Common Units in the
Underwritten Offering, then (i) if no Registrable Securities can be included in the Underwritten Offering in the opinion of the Managing Underwriter, the Partnership shall not be required to offer such opportunity to the Holders or (ii) if
any Registrable Securities can be included in the Underwritten Offering in the opinion of the Managing Underwriter, then the amount of Registrable Securities to be offered for the accounts of Holders shall be determined based on the provisions of
Section 2.02(b). Any notice required to be provided in this Section 2.02(a) to Holders shall be provided on a Business Day pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof and receipt of such notice shall be confirmed by the
Holder. Each such Holder shall then have two (2) Business Days (or one (1) Business Day in connection with any overnight or bought Underwritten Offering) after notice has been delivered to request in writing the inclusion of Registrable
Securities in the Underwritten Offering. If no written request for inclusion from a Holder is received within the specified time, each such Holder shall have no further right to participate in

  
 5 

 
such Underwritten Offering. If, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to undertake an Underwritten Offering and prior to the closing of such Underwritten Offering, the
Partnership shall determine for any reason not to undertake or to delay such Underwritten Offering, the Partnership may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Selling Holders and, (x) in the case of a determination
not to undertake such Underwritten Offering, shall be relieved of its obligation to sell any Included Registrable Securities in connection with such terminated Underwritten Offering, and (y) in the case of a determination to delay such
Underwritten Offering, shall be permitted to delay offering any Included Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in the Underwritten Offering. Any Selling Holder shall have the right to withdraw such Selling Holder’s request for
inclusion of such Selling Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering by giving written notice to the Partnership of such withdrawal at or prior to the time of pricing of such Underwritten Offering. Any Holder may deliver
written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Partnership requesting that such Holder not receive notice from the Partnership of any proposed Underwritten Offering; provided, however, that such Holder may later revoke any such
Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from a Holder (unless subsequently revoked), the Partnership shall not be required to deliver any notice to such Holder pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) and such Holder
shall no longer be entitled to participate in Underwritten Offerings by the Partnership pursuant to this Section 2.02(a). The Holders indicated on Schedule A hereto as having opted out shall each be deemed to have delivered an
Opt-Out Notice as of the date hereof. 
 (b) Priority. If the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters of any proposed
Underwritten Offering of Common Units included in an Underwritten Offering involving Included Registrable Securities advises the Partnership that the total amount of Common Units that the Selling Holders and any other Persons intend to include in
such offering exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without being likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Common Units offered or the market for the Common Units, then the Common Units to be
included in such Underwritten Offering shall include the number of Registrable Securities that such Managing Underwriter or Underwriters advises the Partnership can be sold without having such adverse effect, with such number to be allocated
(i) first, to the Partnership and (ii) second, pro rata among the Selling Holders who have requested participation in such Underwritten Offering and any other holder of securities of the Partnership having rights of registration that are
neither expressly senior nor subordinated to the Registrable Securities (the “Parity Securities”). The pro rata allocations for each Selling Holder who has requested participation in such Underwritten Offering shall be the product
of (a) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in such Underwritten Offering multiplied by (b) the fraction derived by dividing (x) the number of Registrable Securities owned on the Closing Date by such
Selling Holder by (y) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned on the Closing Date by all Selling Holders plus the aggregate number of Parity Securities owned on the Closing Date by all holders of Parity Securities that are
participating in the Underwritten Offering. 
 (c) Termination of Piggyback Registration Rights. Each Holder’s
rights under Section 2.02 shall terminate upon such Holder (together with its Affiliates) ceasing to hold at least $10.0 million of Registrable Securities (based on the Common Unit Price). 

  
 6 

 Section 2.03 Delay Rights. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Partnership may, upon written notice to any Selling Holder whose
Registrable Securities are included in the Registration Statement or other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, suspend such Selling Holder’s use of any prospectus which is a part of the Registration Statement or other
registration statement (in which event the Selling Holder shall discontinue sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement but may settle any previously made
sales of Registrable Securities) if (i) the Partnership is pursuing an acquisition, merger, reorganization, disposition or other similar transaction and the Partnership determines in good faith that the Partnership’s ability to pursue or
consummate such a transaction would be materially adversely affected by any required disclosure of such transaction in the Registration Statement or other registration statement or (ii) the Partnership has experienced some other material
non-public event the disclosure of which at such time, in the good faith judgment of the Partnership, would materially adversely affect the Partnership; provided, however, in no event shall the Selling Holders be suspended from selling
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or other registration statement for a period that exceeds an aggregate of 60 days in any 180-day period or 105 days in any 365-day period, in each case, exclusive of days covered by any
lock-up agreement executed by a Selling Holder in connection with any Underwritten Offering. Upon disclosure of such information or the termination of the condition described above, the Partnership shall provide prompt notice to the Selling Holders
whose Registrable Securities are included in the Registration Statement, and shall promptly terminate any suspension of sales it has put into effect and shall take such other reasonable actions to permit registered sales of Registrable Securities as
contemplated in this Agreement. 
 If (i) the Selling Holders shall be prohibited from selling their Registrable Securities
under the Registration Statement or other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement as a result of a suspension pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph in excess of the periods permitted therein or (ii) the Registration
Statement or other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement is filed and declared effective but, during the Effectiveness Period, shall thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable for its intended purpose without being
succeeded within 20 Business Days by a post-effective amendment thereto, a supplement to the prospectus or a report filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or l5(d) of the Exchange Act, then, until the suspension is
lifted or a post-effective amendment, supplement or report is filed with the Commission, but not including any day on which a suspension is lifted or such amendment, supplement or report is filed and declared effective, if applicable, the
Partnership shall pay the Selling Holders an amount equal to the Liquidated Damages, following the earlier of (x) the date on which the suspension period exceeded the permitted period and (y) the twenty-first (21st) Business Day after
the Registration Statement or other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement ceased to be effective or failed to be useable for its intended purposes, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty (for purposes of calculating Liquidated
Damages, the date in (x) or (y) above shall be deemed the “90th day,” as used in the definition of Liquidated Damages). For purposes of this paragraph, a suspension shall be deemed lifted on the date that notice that the
suspension has been terminated is delivered 

  
 7 

 
to the Selling Holders. Liquidated Damages shall cease to accrue pursuant to this paragraph upon the Purchased Units of such Holder becoming eligible for resale without restriction and without
the need for current public information under any section of Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in effect) under the Securities Act, assuming that each Holder is not an Affiliate of the Partnership, and any payment of Liquidated Damages shall
be prorated for any period of less than 30 days in which the payment of Liquidated Damages ceases. 
 Section 2.04
Underwritten Offerings. 
 (a) General Procedures. In connection with any Underwritten Offering under this
Agreement, the Partnership shall be entitled to select the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters. In connection with an Underwritten Offering contemplated by this Agreement in which a Selling Holder participates, each Selling Holder and the
Partnership shall be obligated to enter into an underwriting agreement that contains such representations, covenants, indemnities and other rights and obligations as are customary in underwriting agreements for firm commitment offerings of
securities. No Selling Holder may participate in such Underwritten Offering unless such Selling Holder agrees to sell its Registrable Securities on the basis provided in such underwriting agreement and completes and executes all questionnaires,
powers of attorney, indemnities and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting agreement. Each Selling Holder may, at its option, require that any or all of the representations and warranties by, and the other
agreements on the part of, the Partnership to and for the benefit of such underwriters also be made to and for such Selling Holder’s benefit and that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such
underwriting agreement also be conditions precedent to its obligations. No Selling Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Partnership or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or
agreements regarding such Selling Holder, its authority to enter into such underwriting agreement and to sell, and its ownership of, the securities being registered on its behalf, its intended method of distribution and any other representation
required by Law. If any Selling Holder disapproves of the terms of an underwriting, such Selling Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by notice to the Partnership and the Managing Underwriter; provided, however, that such withdrawal must be
made up to and including the time of pricing of such Underwritten Offering. No such withdrawal or abandonment shall affect the Partnership’s obligation to pay Registration Expenses. The Partnership’s management may but shall not be
required to participate in a roadshow or similar marketing effort in connection with any Underwritten Offering. 
 (b) No
Demand Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Holder shall be entitled to any “demand” rights or similar rights that would require the Partnership to effect an Underwritten Offering solely on behalf of the
Holders. 

  
 8 

 Section 2.05 Sale Procedures. 

In connection with its obligations under this Article II, the Partnership will, as expeditiously as possible: 

(a) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in
connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the Effectiveness Period and as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable
Securities covered by the Registration Statement; 
 (b) if a prospectus supplement will be used in connection with the
marketing of an Underwritten Offering from the Registration Statement and the Managing Underwriter at any time shall notify the Partnership in writing that, in the sole judgment of such Managing Underwriter, inclusion of detailed information to be
used in such prospectus supplement is of material importance to the success of the Underwritten Offering of such Registrable Securities, the Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to include such information in such prospectus
supplement; 
 (c) furnish to each Selling Holder (i) as far in advance as reasonably practicable before filing the
Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or any supplement or amendment thereto, upon request, copies of reasonably complete drafts of all such documents proposed to be filed (including exhibits and
each document incorporated by reference therein to the extent then required by the rules and regulations of the Commission), and provide each such Selling Holder the opportunity to object to any information pertaining to such Selling Holder and its
plan of distribution that is contained therein and make the corrections reasonably requested by such Selling Holder with respect to such information prior to filing the Registration Statement or such other registration statement or supplement or
amendment thereto, and (ii) such number of copies of the Registration Statement or such other registration statement and the prospectus included therein and any supplements and amendments thereto as such Selling Holder may reasonably request in
order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or other registration statement; 
 (d) if applicable, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this
Agreement under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Selling Holders or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, the Managing Underwriter, shall reasonably request; provided, however, that the Partnership will not be
required to qualify generally to transact business in any jurisdiction where it is not then required to so qualify or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;

 (e) promptly notify each Selling Holder, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered by any of
them under the Securities Act, of (i) the filing of the Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement to be used in connection therewith, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, and, with respect to such Registration Statement or any other registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective; and (ii) the receipt of any written comments from the
Commission with respect to any filing referred to in clause (i) and any written request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or any other registration statement or any prospectus or prospectus
supplement thereto; 

  
 9 

 (f) immediately notify each Selling Holder, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto
is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of (i) the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus or prospectus supplement contained in the Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by
this Agreement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any prospectus contained
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which a statement is made); (ii) the issuance or express threat of issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any other
registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; or (iii) the receipt by the Partnership of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable
Securities for sale under the applicable securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction. Following the provision of such notice, the Partnership agrees to as promptly as practicable amend or supplement the prospectus or prospectus supplement or
take other appropriate action so that the prospectus or prospectus supplement does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing and to take such other commercially reasonable action as is necessary to remove a stop order, suspension, threat thereof or proceedings related thereto; 

(g) upon request and subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations, furnish to each Selling Holder copies of any and all transmittal
letters or other correspondence with the Commission or any other governmental agency or self-regulatory body or other body having jurisdiction (including any domestic or foreign securities exchange) relating to such offering of Registrable
Securities; 
 (h) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, furnish upon request, (i) an opinion of counsel for the
Partnership dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement and (ii) a “cold comfort” letter, dated the pricing date of such Underwritten Offering and a letter of like kind dated the date of the closing under the
underwriting agreement, in each case, signed by the independent public accountants who have certified the Partnership’s financial statements included or incorporated by reference into the applicable registration statement, and each of the
opinion and the “cold comfort” letter shall be in customary form and covering substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus and any prospectus supplement included therein) as have been
customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’ letters delivered to the underwriters in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Partnership and such other matters as such underwriters and Selling Holders may
reasonably request; 
 (i) otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations
of the Commission, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 promulgated
thereunder; 

  
 10 

 (j) make available to the appropriate representatives of the Managing Underwriter and
Selling Holders access to such information and Partnership personnel as is reasonable and customary to enable such parties to establish a due diligence defense under the Securities Act; provided, that the Partnership need not disclose any
non-public information to any such representative unless and until such representative has entered into a confidentiality agreement with the Partnership; 
 (k) cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement to be listed on each securities exchange or nationally recognized quotation system on which similar securities issued by the
Partnership are then listed; 
 (l) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities to be registered
with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Partnership to enable the Selling Holders to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

 (m) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement not later
than the effective date of such registration statement; 
 (n) enter into customary agreements and take such other actions as
are reasonably requested by the Selling Holders or the underwriters, if any, in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; and 
 (o) if requested by a Selling Holder, (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as such Selling Holder reasonably requests to be included therein
relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the
Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering and (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment. 
 The Partnership will not name a Holder as an underwriter as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the
Securities Act in any Registration Statement without such Holder’s consent. If the staff of the Commission requires the Partnership to name any Holder as an underwriter as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and such Holder
does not consent thereto, then such Holder’s Registrable Securities shall not be included on the Registration Statement, such Holder shall no longer be entitled to receive Liquidated Damages under this Agreement with respect thereto and the
Partnership shall have no further obligations hereunder with respect to Registrable Securities held by such Holder. 
 Each
Selling Holder, upon receipt of notice from the Partnership of the happening of any event of the kind described in subsection (f) of this Section 2.05, shall forthwith discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable
Securities by means of a prospectus or prospectus supplement until such Selling Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by subsection (f) of this Section 2.05 or until it is
advised in writing by the Partnership that the use of the prospectus may be resumed and has received copies of any 

  
 11 

 
additional or supplemental filings incorporated by reference in the prospectus, and, if so directed by the Partnership, such Selling Holder will, or will request the Managing Underwriter or
Underwriters, if any, to deliver to the Partnership (at the Partnership’s expense) all copies in their possession or control, other than permanent file copies then in such Selling Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such
Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. 
 Section 2.06 Cooperation by Holders.

 The Partnership shall have no obligation to include Registrable Securities of a Holder in the Registration Statement or in an
Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.02(a) who has failed to timely furnish such information that the Partnership determines, after consultation with its counsel, is reasonably required in order for the registration statement or
prospectus supplement, as applicable, to comply with the Securities Act. 
 Section 2.07 Restrictions on Public Sale by
Holders of Registrable Securities. 
 Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees to enter into a customary letter
agreement with underwriters providing such Holder will not effect any public sale or distribution of Registrable Securities during the 60 calendar day period beginning on the date of a prospectus or prospectus supplement filed with the Commission
with respect to the pricing of any Underwritten Offering, provided that (i) the duration of the foregoing restrictions shall be no longer than the duration of the shortest restriction generally imposed by the underwriters on the
Partnership or the officers, directors or any other Affiliate of the Partnership on whom a restriction is imposed and (ii) the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.07 shall not apply to any Registrable Securities that are
included in such Underwritten Offering by such Holder. In addition, this Section 2.07 shall not apply to any Holder that is not entitled to participate in such Underwritten Offering, whether because such Holder delivered an Opt-Out
Notice prior to receiving notice of the Underwritten Offering or because such Holder holds less than $10.0 million of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities or because the Registrable Securities held by such Holder may be disposed of without
restriction pursuant to any section of Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in effect) under the Securities Act. 

Section 2.08 Expenses. 
 (a) Expenses. The Partnership will pay all reasonable Registration Expenses as determined in good faith, including, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, whether or not any sale is made pursuant
to such Underwritten Offering. Each Selling Holder shall pay its pro rata share of all Selling Expenses in connection with any sale of its Registrable Securities hereunder. In addition, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.09
hereof, the Partnership shall not be responsible for legal fees incurred by Holders in connection with the exercise of such Holders’ rights hereunder. 
 (b) Certain Definitions. “Registration Expenses” means all expenses incident to the Partnership’s performance under or compliance with this Agreement to effect the
registration of Registrable Securities on the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.01(a) or an 

  
 12 

 
Underwritten Offering covered under this Agreement, and the disposition of such Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, all registration, filing, securities exchange listing and
NYSE fees, all registration, filing, qualification and other fees and expenses of complying with securities or blue sky laws, fees of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, fees of transfer agents and registrars, all word processing,
duplicating and printing expenses, any transfer taxes and the fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Partnership, including the expenses of any special audits or “cold comfort” letters required by or
incident to such performance and compliance. “Selling Expenses” means all underwriting discounts and selling commissions or similar fees or arrangements allocable to the sale of the Registrable Securities. 

Section 2.09 Indemnification. 
 (a) By the Partnership. In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Partnership will indemnify and hold harmless each
Selling Holder thereunder, its directors, officers, managers, employees and agents and each Person, if any, who controls such Selling Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and its directors, officers, employees or
agents (collectively, the “Selling Holder Indemnified Persons”), against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”), joint
or several, to which such Selling Holder Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out
of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact (in the case of any prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which such statement is made) contained in the Registration Statement or any other
registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus, prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and will
reimburse each such Selling Holder Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss or actions or proceedings; provided, however, that the Partnership
will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such
Selling Holder Indemnified Person in writing specifically for use in the Registration Statement or such other registration statement, or prospectus supplement, as applicable. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of such Selling Holder Indemnified Person, and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Selling Holder. 
 (b) By Each Selling Holder. Each Selling Holder agrees severally and not jointly to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership, the General Partner, its directors, officers, employees and agents
and each Person, if any, who controls the Partnership within the meaning of the Securities Act or of the Exchange Act, and its directors, officers, employees and agents, to 

  
 13 

 
the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Partnership to the Selling Holders, but only with respect to information regarding such Selling Holder furnished in writing by or on behalf of
such Selling Holder expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus, prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof; provided, however, that the liability of each Selling Holder shall not be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of any Selling Expenses) received by such Selling Holder
from the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification. 
 (c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by
an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the
omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party other than under this Section 2.09. In any action brought against any indemnified party, it shall notify the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party
and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 2.09 for any
legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected; provided, however, that, (i) if the indemnifying
party has failed to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party or (ii) if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and counsel to the indemnified
party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be
deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, then the indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the
reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other reasonable expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no indemnifying party
shall settle any action brought against any indemnified party with respect to which such indemnified party is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the consent of the indemnified party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or
obligation on, and includes a complete and unconditional release from all liability of, the indemnified party. 
 (d)
Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.09 is held by a court or government agency of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to any indemnified party or is insufficient to hold them harmless in
respect of any Losses, then each such indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of such indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations;
provided, however, that in no event shall such 

  
 14 

 
Selling Holder be required to contribute an aggregate amount in excess of the dollar amount of proceeds (net of Selling Expenses) received by such Selling Holder from the sale of Registrable
Securities giving rise to such indemnification. The relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact has been made by, or relates to, information supplied by such party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this paragraph were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does
not take account of the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be deemed to include any legal and other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any Loss that is the subject of this paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities
Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
 (e) Other
Indemnification. The provisions of this Section 2.09 shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution that an indemnified party may have pursuant to law, equity, contract or otherwise. 

Section 2.10 Rule 144 Reporting. 
 With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Partnership
agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to: 
 (a) make and keep public information regarding the Partnership
available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times from and after the date hereof; 
 (b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Partnership under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act at all times from and after the date hereof; and

 (c) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish, unless otherwise available via EDGAR, to such Holder
forthwith upon request a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Partnership, and such other reports and documents so filed as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission
allowing such Holder to sell any such securities without registration. 
 Section 2.11 Transfer or Assignment of
Registration Rights. 
 The rights to cause the Partnership to register Registrable Securities granted to the Purchasers by
the Partnership under this Article II may be transferred or assigned by any Purchaser to one or more transferees or assignees of Registrable Securities; provided, however, that (a) unless the transferee or assignee is an Affiliate
of, and after such transfer or assignment continues to be an Affiliate of, such Purchaser, the amount of Registrable Securities transferred 

  
 15 

 
or assigned to such transferee or assignee shall represent at least $10.0 million of Registrable Securities (based on the Common Unit Price), (b) the Partnership is given written notice
prior to any said transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of each such transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, and (c) each such
transferee or assignee assumes in writing responsibility for its portion of the obligations of such Purchaser under this Agreement. 
 Section 2.12 Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights. 
 From and
after the date hereof, the Partnership shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, enter into any agreement with any current or future holder of any securities of the Partnership that
would allow such current or future holder to require the Partnership to include securities in any registration statement filed by the Partnership on a basis other than pari passu with, or expressly subordinate to the rights of, the Holders of
Registrable Securities hereunder. 
 ARTICLE III

 This Agreement shall inure to
the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties, including subsequent Holders of Registrable Securities to the extent permitted herein. 

Section 3.03 Assignment of Rights. 
 All or any portion of the rights and obligations of any Purchaser under this Agreement may be transferred or assigned by such Purchaser only in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. 

Section 3.04 Recapitalization, Exchanges, Etc. Affecting the Units. 

The provisions of this Agreement shall apply to the full extent set forth herein with respect to any and all units of the Partnership or
any successor or assign of the Partnership (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) that may be issued in respect of, in exchange for or in substitution of, the Registrable Securities, and shall be appropriately adjusted for

 Section 3.05 Aggregation of Registrable Securities.

Section 3.06 Specific Performance. 
 Damages in the event of breach of this Agreement by a party hereto may be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain, and it is therefore agreed that each such Person, in addition to and without limiting
any other remedy or right it may have, will have the right to an injunction or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, enjoining any such breach, and 

  
 17 

 
enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof, and each of the parties hereto hereby waives any and all defenses it may have on the ground of lack of jurisdiction or competence of the
court to grant such an injunction or other equitable relief. The existence of this right will not preclude any such Person from pursuing any other rights and remedies at law or in equity that such Person may have. 

Section 3.07 Counterparts. 
 This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an

the meaning hereof. 
 Section 3.09 Governing Law.

Section 3.10 Severability of Provisions. 
 Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting or impairing the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 3.11 Entire Agreement. 
 This Agreement is intended by the
parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises,
warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein with respect to the rights granted by the Partnership set forth herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect
to such subject matter. 
 Section 3.12 Amendment. 

This Agreement may be amended only by means of a written amendment signed by the Partnership and the Holders of a majority of the then
outstanding Registrable Securities; provided, however, that no such amendment shall materially and adversely affect the rights of any Holder hereunder without the consent of such Holder. 

  
 18 

 Section 3.13 No Presumption. 

If any claim is made by a party relating to any conflict, omission or ambiguity in this Agreement, no presumption or burden of proof or
persuasion shall be implied by virtue of the fact that this Agreement was prepared by or at the request of a particular party or its counsel. 
 Section 3.14 Obligations Limited to Parties to Agreement. 
 Each of
the Parties hereto covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no Person other than the Purchasers (and their permitted transferees and assignees) and the Partnership shall have any obligation hereunder and that, notwithstanding that one or more of the
Purchasers may be a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, no recourse under this Agreement or under any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith or therewith shall be had against any former, current or future
director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder or Affiliate of any of the Purchasers or any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member,
stockholder or Affiliate of any of the foregoing, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any applicable Law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability
whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder or Affiliate of any of the Purchasers or any former,
current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder or Affiliate of any of the foregoing, as such, for any obligations of the Purchasers under this Agreement or any documents or instruments
delivered in connection herewith or therewith or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligation or its creation, except in each case for any transferee or assignee of a Purchaser hereunder. 

Section 3.15 Independent Nature of Purchaser’s Obligations. 

The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no
Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the
Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be
joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. 
 Section 3.16 Interpretation. 

Article and Section references to this Agreement, unless otherwise specified. All references to instruments, documents, contracts and
agreements are references to such instruments, documents, contracts and agreements as the same may be amended, supplemented and otherwise modified from time to time, unless otherwise specified. The word “including” shall mean
“including but not limited to.” Whenever any determination, consent or approval is to be made or given by an Purchaser under this Agreement, such action shall be in such Purchaser’s sole discretion unless otherwise specified.

Business Days in advance of the Conversion/Continuation Date, if U.S. Loans or Dutch Loans are to be converted into or continued as Eurodollar Loans and (ii) on the Conversion/Continuation Date, if U.S. Loans or Dutch Loans are to be converted
into Base Rate Loans, specifying: 
 (i) the proposed Conversion/Continuation Date; 

(ii) the aggregate amount of U.S. Loans or Dutch Loans to be converted or continued; 

(iii) the Type of U.S. Loans or Dutch Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or continuation; and

 (iv) in the case of conversions into Eurodollar Loans, the duration of the requested
Interest Period. 
 (c) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to Eurodollar Loans, the Company or the Dutch
Borrower has failed to select timely a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Loans, the Company and the Dutch Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the
expiration date of such Interest Period. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a
Notice of Conversion/Continuation, or, if no timely notice is provided by the Company or the Dutch Borrower, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion. All conversions and continuations
shall be made ratably according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the U.S. Loans and Dutch Loans with respect to which the notice was given held by each Lender. 

(e) Unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent, during the existence of an Event of Default, neither the Company nor the Dutch
Borrower may elect to have a U.S. Loan or a Dutch Loan converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Loan.

2.7 Letters of Credit. 
 2.7.1 The Letter of Credit Commitment. 
 (a) Any Letters of Credit issued
under the Existing Credit Agreement and outstanding as of the Restatement Signing Date shall be deemed Letters of Credit for all purposes hereunder and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Additionally, subject to the
terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.7, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Restatement
Effective Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Company (or jointly for the account of the Company and any Subsidiary), and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in
accordance with 
subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Company and any drawings
thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (x) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment, (y) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans of any
Lender, plus such Lender’s Total Pro Rata Share of the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and (z) the Effective Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit
Sublimit. Each request by the Company for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Company that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the
preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Company may, during the foregoing period, obtain
Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. 

  
 27 

 (b) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if: 

(i) subject to subsection 2.7.2(c), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than one year after the
date of issuance or the last extension, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or 
 (ii) the expiry date
of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all Lenders have approved such expiry date or the Company Cash Collateralizes such Letter of Credit on or prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration
Date. 
 (c) The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: 

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C
Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request
that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which
the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Restatement Signing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Restatement Signing Date and which the
L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it; 
 (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any Law or one or
more generally applicable policies of the L/C Issuer; 
 (iii) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the
L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial face amount less than U.S.$100,000; 
 (iv) such Letter of Credit is to be
denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars; 
 (v) any requested Letter of Credit is not in a form reasonably acceptable
to the L/C Issuer; 
 (vi) the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Borrower,
on or prior to the Business Day prior to the requested date of Issuance of such Letter of Credit, that one or more of the applicable conditions contained in Section 4 is not then satisfied; or 

  
 28 

 (vii) any Lender is at such time a Deteriorating Lender, unless the L/C Issuer has entered
into satisfactory arrangements with the Company or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender or either the Borrowers or such Deteriorating Lender have provided Cash Collateral equal to such Deteriorating
Lender’s obligation under such Letter of Credit to the L/C Issuer (provided such Cash Collateral will be released back to the Borrowers or such Deteriorating Lender when and to the extent such Deteriorating Lender’s obligations are reduced
or eliminated, whether as a result of an assignment of such Deteriorating Lender’s Commitments, or a reduction in or termination of such Letter of Credit or such Lender ceases to be a Deteriorating Lender or otherwise). 

(d) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such amendment constitutes an L/C Credit
Extension and the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter
of Credit. 
 2.7.2 Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

 (a) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Company delivered to the
L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a L/C Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Such L/C Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent
not later than 12:00 noon (Charlotte time) at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or
date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested
Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any
drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any
outstanding Letter of Credit, such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day);
(C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the Company shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to
such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require. 
 (b) Promptly after receipt of any L/C Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such L/C
Application from the Company and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Borrower, at least one Business
Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment (if such amendment constitutes an L/C Credit Extension) of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions 

  
 29 

 
contained in Section 4 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account
of the Company or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be
deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Total Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter
of Credit. 
 (c) If the Company so requests in any applicable L/C Application, the L/C Issuer may agree to issue a Letter of
Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each
twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be
agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Company shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has
been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date (unless the Company
Cash Collateralizes such Letter of Credit on or prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date); provided that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have
no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.7.1(b) or 2.7.1(c) or otherwise) or (B) it has received notice (which
may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from any
Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.2 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension. 

(d) If the Company so requests in any applicable L/C Application, the L/C Issuer may agree to issue a Letter of Credit that permits the
automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount thereof after any drawing thereunder (each an “Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit”). Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Company shall not be required to
make a specific request to the L/C Issuer to permit such reinstatement. Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued, except as provided in the following sentence, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require)
the L/C Issuer to reinstate all or a portion of the stated amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit permits the L/C Issuer to decline to
reinstate all or any portion of the stated amount thereof after a drawing thereunder by giving notice of such non-reinstatement within a specified number of days after such drawing (the “Non-Reinstatement Deadline”), the L/C Issuer
shall not permit such reinstatement if it has received a notice (which shall be in writing) on or before the day that is ten Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement Deadline (A) from the

  
 30 

 
Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such reinstatement or (B) from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Borrower that one or more of the
applicable conditions specified in Section 4.2 is not then satisfied (treating such reinstatement as an L/C Credit Extension for purposes of this subsection (c)) and, in each case, directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such
reinstatement. 
 (e) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising
bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. 

2.7.3 Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. 

(a) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer
shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent thereof. If the Company receives notice of a drawing under a Letter of Credit prior to 11:00 a.m. (Charlotte time) on the Business Day on which such drawing is honored by the L/C Issuer
(each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Company shall reimburse the L/C Issuer prior to 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte time) on the Honor Date for the amount paid by the L/C Issuer in respect of such drawing. If the Company receives notice of
a drawing under a Letter of Credit at or after 11:00 a.m. (Charlotte time) on the Honor Date, the Company may make such reimbursement on the immediately following Business Day (and interest on the amount so paid by the L/C Issuer shall accrue for
the account of the L/C Issuer from the Honor Date to such immediately following Business Day at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate (or such other rate as the Company and the L/C Issuer shall agree)). If the Company fails to reimburse the L/C
Issuer for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte time) on the date required pursuant to the two preceding sentences, the L/C Issuer will promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative
Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof, and the Company shall be deemed to have requested that Base Rate Loans be made by the Lenders to be disbursed on such date in payment of the unpaid reimbursement obligations with respect to such Letter
of Credit (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitment and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.2, other than any notice requirement and without regard
to any requirement that Borrowings be in a particular amount. Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection 2.7.3(a) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the
lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 
 (b) Each Lender
(including the Lender acting as L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to subsection 2.7.3(a) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal
to its Total Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte time) on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of subsection 2.7.3(c), each
Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Company in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer. 

  
 31 

 (c) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of
Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Company shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is
not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer
pursuant to subsection 2.7.3(b) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.7.

 (d) Until each Lender funds its Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this subsection 2.7.3 to reimburse the L/C Issuer for
any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Total Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer. 
 (e) Each Lender’s obligation to make Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this subsection 2.7.3, shall be absolute
and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Company or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Lender’s
obligation to make Loans pursuant to this subsection 2.7.3 is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (other than delivery by the Company of a Notice of Borrowing). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise
impair the obligation of the Company to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 

(f) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by
such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection 2.7.3 by the time specified in 
subsection 2.7.3(b), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on
demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in
effect. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

2.7.4 Repayment of Participations. 
 (a) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with
subsection 2.7.3, if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Company or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash
Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Total Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which
such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent. 

  
 32 

 (b) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer
pursuant to 
subsection 2.7.3 is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.6 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Total Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum
equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. 
 2.7.5 Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Company
to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all
circumstances, including the following: 
 (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement
or any other Loan Document; 
 (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of
the obligations of the Company in respect of any Letter of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, all or any of the Loan Documents; 
 (c) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that the Company or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or
any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or
instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 
 (d) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented
under such 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; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required
in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; 
 (e) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against
presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy,
debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under
any Debtor Relief Law; or 
 (f) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing,
including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company. 

  
 33 

 The Company shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment
thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Company’s instructions or other irregularity, the Company will promptly notify the L/C Issuer. The Company shall be deemed to have waived any such claim
against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 
 2.7.6 Role of L/C Issuer. Each
Lender and the Company agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of
Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective
correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Required Lenders; (ii) any action taken or
omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or L/C Application. The Company hereby assumes
all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Company’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it
may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person, or any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible
for any of the matters described in clauses (a) through (e) of subsection 2.7.5; provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be
liable to the Company, to the extent such damages are determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s
wrongful dishonor of any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the
foregoing, the L/C 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 the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the
validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective
for any reason. 
 2.7.7 Cash Collateral. 
 (a) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing,
or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit for any reason remains outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the Company shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations
(in an amount equal to such Effective Amount determined as of the date of such L/C Borrowing or the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, as the case may be). The Company hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for its own benefit and for the benefit
of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, a Lien on all such cash and deposit account balances described in the definition of “Cash Collateralize” as security for the L/C Obligations. Cash Collateral shall be

  
 34 

 
maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts at Wells Fargo Bank or in accordance with other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, which accounts, in any
case, are the subject of control agreements pursuant to which the Administrative Agent has “control” as such term is used in the Uniform Commercial Code, sufficient to perfect a security interest in such cash collateral. The Lien held by
the Administrative Agent in such Cash Collateral to secure the L/C Obligations shall be released upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (1) no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, (2) all L/C Obligations shall have
been repaid in full and (3) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Administrative Agent also may require the Company to immediately Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an amount equal
to the then Effective Amount thereof if any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, as provided in Section 8.2(c). If at any time the amount of Cash Collateral exceeds 102% of the then Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations, and
provided that no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the Company’s request, the Administrative Agent shall release Cash Collateral in an amount equal to such excess, and its Lien thereon, to the
Company. 
 (b) In addition to the provisions set forth in subsection 2.7.7(a), if at any time during which one or more
Letters of Credit are outstanding, any Lender is at such time a Deteriorating Lender, then no later than five Business Days after written demand thereof from the L/C Issuer, the Deteriorating Lender shall provide the Administrative Agent with Cash
Collateral or similar security satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) in respect of such Deteriorating Lender’s Total Pro Rata Share of the then Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations. The Deteriorating Lender hereby grants to
the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer, a security interest in all such Cash Collateral and all proceeds of the foregoing. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any Cash Collateral is subject to any right or
claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent (and such Deteriorating Lender) or that the total amount thereof is less than such Deteriorating Lender’s Total Pro Rata Share of the then Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations, the
Deteriorating Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or deliver to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount equal to the excess of (x) such Deteriorating Lender’s Total Pro Rata Share of
the then Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations over (y) the total amount of Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right or claim. Upon the drawing of any Cash Collateral, such funds shall be
applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Governmental Rules, to reimburse the L/C Issuer solely to the extent the Company otherwise fails to satisfy its obligation to reimburse the L/C Issuer in respect of such drawing; provided such
Cash Collateral will be released back to the Deteriorating Lender when and to the extent such Deteriorating Lender’s obligations are reduced or eliminated, whether as a result of an assignment of such Deteriorating Lender’s Commitment, or
a reduction in or termination of such Letters of Credit, or such Lender ceases to be a Deteriorating Lender or otherwise. 

2.7.8 Applicability of ISP98. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Company when a Letter of Credit is
issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit. 

  
 35 

 2.7.9 Letter of Credit Fees. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Lender (excluding Defaulting Lenders) in accordance with its Total Pro Rata Share a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Letter of Credit Fee Rate times
the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit during the applicable fiscal quarter. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable on the last
Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand (unless Cash Collateralized, in which case, Letter of
Credit Fees shall continue to be due and payable on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter). If there is any change in the Letter of Credit Fee Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and
multiplied by the Letter of Credit Fee Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Letter of Credit Fee Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while
any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate. 
 2.7.10 Fronting Fee and
Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Company shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit in the amount specified in the Wells Fargo Fee Letter, payable on
the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit during the applicable fiscal quarter. Such fronting fee shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable on the last Business
Day of each calendar quarter, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand (unless Cash Collateralized, in which case, Letter of Credit
Fees shall continue to be due and payable on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter). In addition, the Company shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing
fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable promptly after demand and are nonrefundable.

 2.7.11 Conflict With Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any
Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control. 
 2.8 Termination of the Commitments. The Company may, upon not less
than four Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Commitments or permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitment to an amount that is not less than the Total Outstandings. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitment
(a) shall be in the amount of U.S.$10,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of U.S.$1,000,000; and (b) shall be applied to reduce the amount of the Commitment of each Lender according to its Total Pro Rata Share. All accrued facility fees
to, but not including, the effective date of any reduction or termination of the Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such reduction or termination. Subject to Section 2.20, any reduction or termination of the Aggregate
Commitment shall be permanent unless the Company and all Lenders otherwise agree. 

  
 36 

 2.9 Optional Prepayments. 

(a) Subject to the proviso to subsection 2.4(a), the Company or the Dutch Borrower may, from time to time, upon irrevocable notice
to the Administrative Agent, with respect to Eurodollar Loans, not later than 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte time) at least three Business Days, and with respect to Base Rate Loans, not later than 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte time) at least one Business Day, prior to
the proposed date of prepayment, ratably prepay U.S. Loans or Dutch Loans, as applicable, in whole or in part, in minimum amounts of U.S.$5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of U.S.$1,000,000 (provided that the Company or the Dutch Borrower may
make a prepayment of Base Rate Loans in an amount that is not such an integral multiple if, after giving effect to such prepayment, the outstanding principal amount of all Base Rate Loans will be an integral multiple of U.S.$1,000,000). Such notice
of prepayment shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the U.S. Loans or Dutch Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of any such notice, and of such Lender’s Total Pro Rata
Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Company or the Dutch Borrower, the Company shall, or cause the Dutch Borrower to, make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
specified therein. Any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans shall include accrued interest to the date of prepayment on the amount prepaid and any amount required pursuant to Section 3.4. 

(b) The Canadian Borrower may, from time to time, upon irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day prior to
the proposed date of prepayment, ratably prepay CDOR Loans or Canadian Prime Loans in whole or in part, in an aggregate amount of C$1,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of C$100,000. Such notice of prepayment shall specify the date and amount of
such prepayment and the Canadian Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of any such notice and of such Lender’s Total Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the
Canadian Borrower, the Canadian Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. 
 2.10 Mandatory Prepayments. If on any date the Dollar Equivalent of the Total Canadian Dollar Outstandings exceeds 105% of the Canadian Sublimit (other than as a result of currency fluctuations) or
the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Dutch Loans exceeds 105% of the Dutch Sublimit, then the Canadian Borrower or the Dutch Borrower, as applicable, will promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) prepay Canadian
Loans or Dutch Loans, as applicable, or increase the Canadian Sublimit or the Dutch Sublimit, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.21, in each case in an aggregate amount sufficient to cause the Dollar Equivalent of the Total Canadian
Dollar Outstandings or the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Dutch Loans, as applicable, to be equal to or less than the Canadian Sublimit or the Dutch Sublimit, respectively. If as of the end of any month, or on any other date the
Canadian Borrower receives notice thereof, the Dollar Equivalent of the Total Canadian Dollar Outstandings exceeds 105% of the Canadian Sublimit as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the Canadian Borrower shall, within two
(2) Business Days after the end of such month or receipt of such notice, as applicable, prepay Canadian Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to cause the Dollar Equivalent of Total Canadian Dollar Outstandings to be equal to or less than the
Canadian Sublimit. 
 2.11 Repayment. Each Borrower shall repay all Loans to such Borrower and all obligations of such
Borrower hereunder on the Termination Date. 

  
 37 

 2.12 Interest. 

(a) Each U.S. Loan and each Dutch Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable Borrowing Date
at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the Eurodollar Rate for each applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time and (ii) in the case of a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate
plus the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time. 
 (b) Each Canadian Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof from the applicable Borrowing Date at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of a CDOR Rate Loan, the CDOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time and (ii) in the case of a Canadian Prime
Loan, the Canadian Prime Rate. 
 (c) The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan shall be selected
by the applicable Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, as the case may be. 
 (d) Interest on each Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest also shall be paid on each Eurodollar Loan on the date of any conversion of such Eurodollar Loan under Section
2.4 and any prepayment of such Eurodollar Loan under Section 2.9, in each case for the portion of the Loan so prepaid. 
 (e) The Company shall pay to each Lender, at any time such Lender is required under regulations of the FRB to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including
Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan equal to the actual cost of such reserves allocated to such Eurodollar Loan by such
Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Eurodollar Loan, provided that the Company shall have received at least 10 days’ prior
written notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the amount of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be payable 10
days after receipt of such notice. 
 (f) (i) If any amount of principal of or interest on any Loan is not paid when due,
whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. 

(ii) If any amount (other than principal of or interest on any Loan) payable by any Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due
(without regard to any applicable grace period), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all
times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. 

  
 38 

 (iii) Automatically upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default
described in Sections 8.1.1 (but only with respect to any Borrower’s failure to pay any amount of principal of any Loan or any interest payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document), 8.1.6 or 8.1.7, or at the request
of the Required Lenders upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, the Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all
times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. 
 (iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past
due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 
 (g) Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of any Borrower to any Lender hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to
the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by such Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any Law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest that may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such
Lender, and in such event such Borrower shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable Law. 
 (h)
Notwithstanding any provision hereof, in no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as defined in section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada)) payable by the Canadian Borrower hereunder exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the
“credit advanced” (as defined in such section 347) hereunder lawfully permitted by such section 347, and if any payment, collection or demand pursuant to this Agreement in respect of “interest” (as defined in such section 347) is
determined to be contrary to the provisions of such section 347, such payment, collection or demand shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of the Canadian Borrower and the Lenders and the amount of such payment or collection shall be
refunded to the Canadian Borrower. For the purposes of this Agreement, the effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the relevant term and, in the event of
dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent will be prima facia evidence of such rate. 
 (i) For the purpose of the Interest Act (Canada) and any other purpose, (i) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any calculation under this Agreement, (ii) where
interest is calculated pursuant hereto at a rate based upon a 365 or 360 day year (the “First Rate”), it is hereby agreed that the rate or percentage of interest on a yearly basis is equivalent to such First Rate multiplied by the
actual number of days in the year divided by 365 or 360, as applicable, and (c) the rates of interest and fees stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and effective rates or yields. 

  
 39 

 2.13 Fees. 
 2.13.1 Arrangement and Agency Fees. The Company shall pay arrangement fees to each Joint Lead Arranger for such Joint Lead Arranger’s own account as agreed among the Company and the Joint Lead
Arrangers in the Wells Fargo Fee Letter, the Bank of America Fee Letter, the U.S. Bank Fee Letter and the BMO Fee Letter, and shall pay an agency fee to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent’s own account as agreed among the
Company and the Administrative Agent in the Wells Fargo Fee Letter. 
 2.13.2 Facility Fees. 

(a) The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee, (i) with respect to each Lender
other than any Defaulting Lender, on the amount of such Lender’s Commitment (or, if any Loans or Letters of Credit remain outstanding (unless Cash Collateralized) after termination of Commitments, on such Lender’s Total Pro Rata Share of
the Total Outstandings), and (ii) with respect to any Defaulting Lender, on the amount of the sum of such Defaulting Lender’s U.S. Dollar Outstandings and Canadian Dollar Outstandings, in each case, at the Facility Fee Rate.

 (b) Facility fees shall accrue from the Restatement Effective Date to the Termination Date (and, if applicable, thereafter
until all Obligations (other than contingent obligations not then due) of the Borrowers have been paid in full) and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter through the Termination Date and on
the Termination Date (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand); provided that, in connection with any reduction or termination of the Aggregate Commitment under Section 2.8, the Company shall pay the applicable facility fee accrued
through the date of such reduction or termination, with (in the case of a reduction) the following quarterly payment being calculated on the basis of the period from such reduction date to the quarterly payment date. Facility fees shall accrue at
all times on and after the Restatement Effective Date, including at any time during which one or more conditions in Section 4 are not met. 
 2.14 Computation of Fees and Interest. 
 (a) All computations of interest
on (i) Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Prime Rate and (ii) Canadian Prime Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days and actual days elapsed. All computations of interest on CDOR Rate Loans shall be made
on the basis of a year of 365 days. All other computations of interest and fees shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which such interest or such fees are
computed from the first day thereof to the last day thereof. 
 (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative
Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent will, at the request of the applicable Borrower or any Lender, deliver to such Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, a statement
showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate and the resulting interest rate. 

2.15 Payments by the Borrowers. 
 (a) All payments to be made by the Company or the Dutch Borrower shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein (including in Section
11.10), all payments by the Company and the Dutch Borrower shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders at the Administrative Agent’s Office, and 

  
 40 

 
shall be made in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds, no later than 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte time) on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each
Lender its Total Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as expressly provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received. Any payment received by the Administrative Agent later than 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte time) shall be deemed to have been
received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. 
 (b) All payments to be
made by the Canadian Borrower shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Canadian Borrower shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders at
the Administrative Agent’s Office, and shall be made in Canadian Dollars and in immediately available funds, no later than 2:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender
its Total Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as expressly provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received. Any payment received by the Administrative Agent later than 2:00 p.m. (Toronto time) shall be deemed to have been received
on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. 
 (c) Whenever any payment is due on
a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the following Business Day (unless, in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the following Business Day is in another calendar month, in which case such payment shall be made on the preceding
Business Day), and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be. 
 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from the Company or the Dutch Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that the Company or the Dutch Borrower will not make
such payment in full as and when required, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Company or the Dutch Borrower, as applicable, has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date in immediately available funds and the
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Company or the Dutch Borrower, as
applicable, has not made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day
from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid. 
 (e) Unless the Administrative Agent receives
notice from the Canadian Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that the Canadian Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Canadian Borrower has
made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date in immediately available funds and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount
equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Canadian Borrower has not made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender,
together with interest thereon at the Canadian Cost of Funds Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid. 

  
 41 

 2.16 Payments by the Lenders. 

(a) Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from a Lender, (i) at least one Business Day prior to the date of a Borrowing of
Eurodollar Loans, (ii) by 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte time) on the day of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or (iii) by 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the day of any Borrowing of Canadian Loans, that such Lender will not make available as and when
required hereunder to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Borrower the amount of such Lender’s Total Pro Rata Share of such Credit Extension, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount
available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds on the Borrowing Date and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a
corresponding amount. 
 (b) If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made its full amount of any Loan available to the
Administrative Agent in immediately available funds on a Borrowing Date and the Administrative Agent in such circumstances has made available to the applicable Borrower such amount, such Lender shall on the Business Day following such Borrowing Date
make such amount available to the Administrative Agent, together with interest at (in the case of amounts in U.S. Dollars) the Federal Funds Rate or (in the case of amounts in Canadian Dollars) the Canadian Cost of Funds Rate. If such amount is so
made available, such payment to the Administrative Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Loan on the Borrowing Date for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent on the Business Day
following the Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent will notify the applicable Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, such Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative
Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the Borrowing Date, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing. 

(c) A notice of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under
 subsection (b) above
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) The failure of any Lender to make any Credit Extension on any Borrowing Date
shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation hereunder to make a Credit Extension on such Borrowing Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Credit Extension to be made by such other Lender on
any Borrowing . 
 2.17 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether
voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) on account of any Loan or L/C Obligation, (other than pursuant to the terms of Sections 3.1, 3.3 or 3.4) in excess of its Total Pro Rata Share of payments then or
therewith obtained by the other Lenders, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations (or subparticipations) in Loans or L/C Obligations, as applicable, held by such other Lenders as shall be necessary to cause such
purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each other 

  
 42 

 
Lender; provided that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and each Lender
that has sold a participation to such purchasing Lender shall repay to such purchasing Lender the purchase price to the ratable extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such selling Lender’s ratable share (according to the
proportion of (a) the amount of such selling Lender’s required repayment to such purchasing Lender to (b) the total amount so recovered from such purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by such
purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of
payment (including pursuant to Section 11.10) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the applicable Borrower in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with
the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim. The Lenders may, without the consent of any Borrower or any other Person, make arrangements among themselves to amend or otherwise
modify this Section 2.17 to establish different sharing arrangements with respect to payments by or on behalf of the Borrowers; provided that any such amendment, modification or sharing arrangement shall be consented to by all Lenders.

 2.18 Pro Rata Treatment. Except as otherwise provided herein: 

(a) Each Borrowing and reduction of the Aggregate Commitment shall be made or shared among the Lenders (except for Defaulting Lenders)
pro rata according to their respective Total Pro Rata Share; 
 (b) Each payment of principal on Loans in any Borrowing
shall be shared among the Lenders pro rata according to the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans then owed to the Lenders; 
 (c) Each payment of interest on Loans in any Borrowing shall be shared among the Lenders pro rata according to (A) the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans so made or funded by
the Lenders and (B) the dates on which the Lenders so made or funded such Loans; 
 (d) Each payment of Letter of Credit
Fees payable under Section 2.7.9 and facility fees payable under Section 2.13.2 shall be shared among the Lenders (except for Defaulting Lenders) pro rata according to (A) their respective Total Pro Rata
Shares and (B) in the case of each Lender which becomes a Lender hereunder after the date hereof, the date upon which such Lender so became a Lender; 
 (e) Each payment of interest (other than interest on Loans) shall be shared among the Lenders and the Administrative Agent owed the amount upon which such interest accrues pro rata according to
(A) the respective amounts so owed such Lenders and the Administrative Agent and (B) the dates on which such amounts became owing to such Lenders and the Administrative Agent; and 

  
 43 

 (f) All other payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including,
without limitation, fees paid in connection with any amendment, consent, waiver or the like) shall be for the benefit of the Person or Persons specified. 
 2.19 Limitations on Interest Periods. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, after giving effect to any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans, there may not
be more than eight different Interest Periods in effect for all Eurodollar Loans. 
 2.20 Optional Increase in
Commitments. The Company may from time to time, by means of a letter to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit J, request that the Aggregate Commitment be increased by (a) increasing the amount of the
Commitment of one or more Lenders that have agreed to such increase and/or (b) adding an Eligible Assignee as a party hereto with a Commitment in an amount agreed to by such Eligible Assignee; provided that (i) no Eligible Assignee
shall be added as a party hereto unless such Eligible Assignee shall have been approved in writing by the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) the aggregate amount of all increases permitted
pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall not exceed U.S.$100,000,000 (of which not more than U.S.$25,000,000 may be increases in the Canadian Sublimit and not more than U.S.$25,000,000 may be increases in the Dutch Sublimit), (iii) at the
time of any such increase and after giving effect thereto, no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default shall exist, (iv) both before and after giving effect to any such increase, the Company shall be in pro forma compliance with all
financial covenants set forth in Section 7, (v) any such increase shall have the same terms as the Aggregate Commitment, other than the interest rate, facility fees and upfront fees, which may be adjusted with respect to the new
Commitments under such increase as mutually agreed upon among the Company and the Lenders providing such Commitments, and (vi) the Company shall have executed and delivered such documents and instruments as may be reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent in connection with such increase. Any increase in the amount of the Aggregate Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall become effective three Business Days after the date on which the Administrative Agent has
received and accepted the applicable increase letter in the form of Annex 1 to Exhibit J (in the case of an increase in the amount of the Commitment of an existing Lender) or assumption letter in the form of Annex 2 to Exhibit J (in
the case of the addition of an Eligible Assignee as a new Lender) or on such other date as is agreed among the Company, the Administrative Agent and the increasing or new Lender. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the
Lenders of any increase in the Aggregate Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.20 (which notice shall include a schedule substantially in the form of Schedule 2.1 setting forth the Commitments and Total Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders
after giving effect to such increase). The Company acknowledges that, in order to maintain U.S. Loans and Dutch Loans in accordance with each Lender’s Total Pro Rata Share, a reallocation of the Commitments as a result of a non-pro-rata
increase in the amount of the Aggregate Commitment may require prepayment of all or portions of outstanding Eurodollar Loans on the date of such increase (and any such prepayment shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3.4). Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, if the Aggregate Commitment is being increased pursuant to this 
Section 2.20, the Company, the Administrative Agent, each Additional Lender and each increasing Lender, as applicable, may make

  
 44 

 
arrangements satisfactory to such parties to cause an Additional Lender or an increasing Lender to temporarily hold risk participations in the outstanding Eurodollar Loans of the other Lenders
(rather than fund its Total Pro Rata Share of all outstanding Eurodollar Loans concurrently with the applicable increase) with a view toward minimizing breakage costs and transfers of funds in connection with such increase in the Aggregate
Commitment. 
 2.21 Optional Increases in Canadian or Dutch Sublimit; Termination of Canadian or Dutch Sublimit. The
Canadian Borrower or the Dutch Borrower may from time to time, upon not less than five Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify each Lender), (a) so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of
Default exists, increase the amount of the Canadian Sublimit and/or the Dutch Sublimit, as applicable, by an amount equal to U.S.$5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of U.S.$1,000,000, but not to exceed, together with any increases in the
Canadian Sublimit and the Dutch Sublimit pursuant to Section 2.20, U.S.$25,000,000 in the aggregate with respect to each of the Canadian Sublimit and the Dutch Sublimit, or (b) terminate the Canadian Sublimit and/or the Dutch
Sublimit, as applicable, or permanently reduce the Canadian Sublimit and/or the Dutch Sublimit, as applicable, to an amount that is not less than the Total Canadian Dollar Outstandings or the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Dutch
Loans, respectively. Any reduction of the Canadian Sublimit and/or Dutch Sublimit, as applicable, (i) shall be in the amount of U.S.$10,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of U.S.$1,000,000; and (ii) shall not reduce the Aggregate
Commitment but shall continue to be available for U.S. Loans. Subject to Section 2.20, any reduction or termination of the Canadian Sublimit and/or the Dutch Sublimit, as applicable, shall be permanent unless the Company and all Lenders
otherwise agree. 
 SECTION 3 TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 

3.1 Taxes. 
 (a) Any and all payments by any Borrower to any Lender and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and any Note shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes.
In addition, the Borrowers shall pay all Other Taxes. 
 (b) If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any
Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, then: 
 (i) the
sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as
the case may be, receives and retains an amount equal to the sum it would have received and retained had no such deductions or withholdings been made; 
 (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and withholdings; 

  
 45 

 (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing
authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Law; and 
 (iv) such Borrower shall also pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of any applicable Lender or the Administrative Agent, at the time interest is paid, all additional amounts which such Lender or the Administrative Agent specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield such Lender or the
Administrative Agent would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed. 
 (c) Each Borrower agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless each applicable Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes in the amount that such Lender or the Administrative Agent specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield such Lender
or the Administrative Agent would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed, and any liability (including penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes
or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date a Lender or the Administrative Agent makes written demand therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Borrower will be
obligated to indemnify any Lender or the Administrative Agent for any Other Taxes that are to be paid as a result of such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in failing to timely pay such amounts
when due. 
 (d) Within 10 days after the date of any payment by a Borrower of Taxes or Other Taxes, such Borrower shall furnish
to the applicable Lender and the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to such Lender and the Administrative Agent. 

(e) If a Borrower is required to pay any amount to a Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (b) or (c)
of this Section, then such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions and such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s internal policies) to change the jurisdiction of
its Lending Office or other relevant office so as to eliminate any such additional payment by such Borrower which may thereafter accrue, if such change in the sole judgment of such Lender or the Administrative Agent would not result in any
unreimbursed loss, cost or expense or otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the Administrative Agent. 
 (f) If the
Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant
to this Section 3.1, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 3.1 with respect to the Taxes or
Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such
refund), provided that such Borrower agrees, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or Lender, to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any 

  
 46 

 
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or Lender if the Administrative Agent or Lender is required to repay such refund
to such Governmental Authority. This subsection (f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any
Borrower or any other Person. 
 3.2 Illegality. 

(a) If any Lender determines that any Change of Law has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has
asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make Eurodollar Loans or CDOR Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Company through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of that Lender to make
Eurodollar Loans or CDOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. 
 (b) If a Lender determines that it is unlawful to maintain any Eurodollar Loan, the Company shall, upon its receipt of notice of such fact and demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), prepay, or cause the Dutch Borrower to prepay, in full such Eurodollar Loan, together with interest accrued thereon and amounts required under Section 3.4, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof or, if earlier, on the
date on which such Lender may no longer lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loan. If the Company is required to so prepay, or cause the Dutch Borrower to so prepay, any Eurodollar Loan, then concurrently with such prepayment, the Company
or the Dutch Borrower, as applicable, shall borrow from the Affected Lender, in the amount of such repayment, a Base Rate Loan. If a Lender determines that it is unlawful to maintain any CDOR Rate Loan, the Company shall, upon its receipt of notice
of such fact and demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay, or cause the Canadian Borrower to prepay, in full such CDOR Rate Loan, together with interest accrued thereon and amounts required under
Section 3.4, either on the last day of the applicable quarter with respect thereof or, if earlier, on the date on which such Lender may no longer lawfully continue to maintain such CDOR Rate Loan. If the Company is required to so prepay,
or cause the Canadian Borrower to so prepay, any CDOR Rate Loan, then concurrently with such prepayment, the Company or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall borrow from the Affected Lender, in the amount of such repayment, a Canadian Prime
Rate Loan. 
 (c) If the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans has been so terminated or suspended, all
Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender as Eurodollar Loans shall be instead Base Rate Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain CDOR Rate Loans has been so terminated or suspended, all Loans which would otherwise be made
by such Lender as CDOR Rate Loans shall be instead Canadian Prime Rate Loans. 
 (d) Before giving any notice to the
Administrative Agent or demand upon the Company under this Section, the Affected Lender shall designate a different Lending Office with respect to its Eurodollar Loans or CDOR Rate Loans, as applicable, if such designation will avoid the need for
giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be illegal or otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 

  
 47 

 3.3 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return. 

(a) If after the date hereof any Lender determines that, due to either (i) any Change of Law (other than any change by way of
imposition of or increase in reserve requirements included in the calculation of interest pursuant to subsection 2.12(e)) or (ii) the compliance by that Lender with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental
Authority (whether or not having the force of Law), there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan, then the Company shall be liable for, and shall from time to time,
within 30 days after demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the Administrative Agent), pay, or cause the Dutch Borrower to pay, to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate
such Lender for such increased costs. No Lender shall make a demand for payment under this subsection 3.3(a) unless it also makes a demand for payment for increased costs to similarly situated borrowers party to a credit facility with such
Lender. 
 (b) If after the date hereof any Lender shall have determined that (i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy
Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation
or administration thereof or (iv) compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) or any Person controlling such Lender with any Capital Adequacy Regulation (excluding, in each of the foregoing cases, any change that is merely proposed and
not binding), affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or such controlling Person and (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to
capital adequacy and such Lender’s or such controlling Person’s desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitment, its Credit Extensions (or participations therein) or its
obligations under this Agreement, then, within 30 days after demand of such Lender to the applicable Borrower through the Administrative Agent, such Borrower shall pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts
sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increase. No Lender shall make a demand for payment under this subsection 3.3(b) unless it also makes a demand for payment for an increase in the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by such Lender or such controlling Person to similarly situated borrowers party to a credit facility with such Lender. 
 3.4 Funding Losses. The applicable Borrower shall reimburse each applicable Lender and hold each applicable Lender harmless from any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a
consequence of: 
 (a) the failure of such Borrower to make on a timely basis any payment of principal of any Eurodollar Loan;

 (b) the failure of such Borrower to borrow, continue or convert a Loan after such Borrower has given (or is deemed to have
given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation; 

  
 48 

 (c) the failure of such Borrower to make any prepayment of a Loan in accordance with any
notice delivered under Section 2.9; 
 (d) the prepayment or other payment (including after acceleration thereof) of a
Eurodollar Loan on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period; or 
 (e) the automatic conversion under
Section 2.4 of any Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period; 
 including
any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain any Eurodollar Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. For purposes of calculating amounts
payable by the Company or the Dutch Borrower to the Lenders under this Section and under subsection 3.3(a), each Eurodollar Loan made by a Lender (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed
to have been funded at the Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the eurodollar interbank market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Loan is in fact so
funded. 
 3.5 Inability to Determine Rates. 
 (a) If the Administrative Agent determines that (i) for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a
proposed Eurodollar Loan or (ii) Lenders having 35% or more of the amount of the Commitments notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate applicable pursuant to subsection 2.12(a) for any requested Interest Period with
respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and the Dutch Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the
obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans hereunder shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company and the Dutch Borrower may revoke any Notice of
Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation then submitted by it. If the Company or the Dutch Borrower does not revoke such Notice, the Lenders shall make, convert or continue the Loans, as proposed by the Company or the Dutch Borrower, in the
amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by the Company or the Dutch Borrower, but such Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans instead of Eurodollar Loans. 

(b) If the Administrative Agent determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining CDOR the
Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Canadian Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain CDOR Rate Loans hereunder shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice in
writing. Upon receipt of such notice, the Canadian Borrower may revoke any Notice of Borrowing with respect to CDOR Rate Loans then submitted by it. If the Canadian Borrower does not revoke such Notice of Borrowing, the Lenders shall make, convert
or continue CDOR Rate Loans, as proposed by the Canadian Borrower, in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by the Canadian Borrower, and such CDOR Rate Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Canadian Prime Loans bearing
interest at the rate specified in clause (ii) of the definition of Canadian Prime Rate. 

  
 49 

 3.6 Certificates of Lenders. Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation under
this Section 3 shall deliver to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prior to or contemporaneously with any demand for payment under this Section 3, a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the
basis for, and a computation of the amount payable to, such Lender, and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Borrower in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, any Lender may use any reasonable averaging or
attribution method. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no amount shall be payable by a Borrower pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.3 with respect to any period commencing more than 90 days before the
delivery of the certificate contemplated by this Section 3.6 unless such amount is claimed as a result of the retroactive effect of any newly enacted or adopted law, rule or regulation and such certificate is delivered within 90 days after
such enactment or adoption. 
 3.7 Substitution of Lenders. If (a) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender,
(b) any Borrower shall receive from any Lender a claim for compensation under Section 3.1 or 3.3 or (c) any Borrower shall receive a notice under Section 3.2, then the Administrative Agent may (or upon the
written request of the Borrowers if the Borrowers have located or identified a replacement Lender that is an Eligible Assignee and is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent as contemplated below, shall) replace such Lender (the
“affected Lender”), or cause such affected Lender to be replaced, with another lender (the “replacement Lender”) satisfying the requirements of an Eligible Assignee under Section 11.8, by having the
affected Lender sell and assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including for purposes of this Section 3.7, participations in L/C Obligations) to the replacement Lender pursuant to
Section 11.8; provided, however, that if the Borrowers seek to exercise such right, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to identify or locate a replacement Lender for the Borrowers (it
being expressly agreed that in such circumstances it is the Borrowers’ obligation to identify or locate a replacement Lender that is an Eligible Assignee and is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent). Upon receipt by any affected
Lender of a written notice from the Administrative Agent stating that the Administrative Agent is exercising the replacement right set forth in this Section 3.7, such affected Lender shall sell and assign all of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including for purposes of this Section 3.7, participations in L/C Obligations) to the replacement Lender pursuant to Section 11.8 for a purchase price equal to
the sum of 100% of the principal amount of the affected Lender’s Loans so sold and assigned or such other amount as is agreed to by such affected Lender and such replacement Lender), all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and its ratable share
of all fees to which it is entitled. If such affected Lender fails to execute the documentation required to effectuate such assignment, such documentation may be executed by any Borrower on behalf of such affected Lender. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if a Lender (a “Demanding Lender”) demands any
payment of any amount pursuant to Section 3.3 and the amount so demanded is disproportionately greater than the amount of compensation (if any) that the Company generally is obligated to pay to other Lenders arising out of the same event or
circumstance giving rise to such demand (a “Trigger Event”), then the Company may terminate such Lender’s Commitment hereunder, provided 

  
 50 

 
that (i) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such Commitment termination, (ii) in the case of a Demanding Lender, the
Company shall concurrently terminate the Commitment of each other Lender that has made a demand for payment under Section 3.3 that arises out of such Trigger Event and that is similarly disproportionate to the amount the Company is generally
obligated to pay to other Lenders arising out of such Trigger Event, (iii) the Required Lenders shall have consented to each such Commitment termination and (iv) such Lender shall have been paid all amounts then due to it under this
Agreement and each other Loan Document (which, for the avoidance of doubt, the respective Borrowers may pay in connection with any such termination without making ratable payments to any other Lender (other than another Lender that has a Commitment
that concurrently is being terminated under this Section 3.7)). In no event shall the termination of a Lender’s Commitment in accordance with this paragraph impair or otherwise affect the obligation of the Company to make any payment
demanded by such Lender in accordance with Section 3.3. 
 3.8 Survival. The agreements and obligations of the
Borrowers in this Section 3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other Obligations.

compliance with all Requirements of Law; 
 except, in each case referred to in clause (a) (with respect to Subsidiaries other than the
Canadian Borrower or the Dutch Borrower), clause (b)(i), clause (b)(ii), clause (c) or clause (d), to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

5.2 Authorization; No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of each Loan Document to which it
is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action by such Loan Party, and do not and will not: 
 (a)
contravene the terms of any of such Loan Party’s Organization Documents; 
 (b) conflict with or result in any breach or
contravention of, or the creation of any Lien under, any document evidencing any material Contractual Obligation to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority to which the
Company or any Subsidiary or any of their respective property is subject; or 
 (c) violate any Requirement of Law. 

  
 53 

 5.3 Authorization. No approval, consent, exemption, authorization or other action by,

executed and delivered by each Borrower and, upon execution and delivery thereof by the applicable Loan Party, each Loan Document to which a Loan Party is a party will be duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party. This Agreement constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation of each Borrower and, upon the execution and delivery thereof by the applicable Loan Party, each other Loan Document to which a Loan Party is a party will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such
Loan Party, in each case enforceable against the applicable Loan Party in accordance with its respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability. 
 5.5 Litigation. Except as
specifically disclosed in Schedule 5.5, there are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims or disputes pending or, to the knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Company, threatened, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any
Governmental Authority, against the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties which: 
 (a) pertain to
this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby; or 
 (b) would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

from the IRS (or an opinion letter upon which it may rely) and to the best knowledge of the Company, nothing has occurred which would cause the loss of such qualification, except to the extent that the failure to receive such letter or the cost of

  
 54 

 
correcting any failure of qualification would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its ERISA Affiliates have made all required contributions to any Plan
subject to Section 412 of the Code, and no application for a funding waiver or an extension of any amortization period pursuant to Section 412 of the Code has been made with respect to any Plan, except to the extent that any of the

knowledge of Company, threatened (in writing) claims, actions or lawsuits, or actions by any Governmental Authority (or any facts which after notice or lapse of time or both could reasonably be expected to give rise to any such claim, action or
lawsuit), with respect to any Plan or Canadian Pension Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There has been no prohibited transaction or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with
respect to any Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

the extent that the following would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: 
 (i) No ERISA Event has
occurred or is reasonably expected to occur; 
 (ii) no contribution failure by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate has occurred
with respect to a Pension Plan sufficient to give rise to a Lien under Section 303(k) of ERISA;

which, with the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would result in such liability) under Section 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer Plan; and 

(v) neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or 4212(c) of
ERISA.

and permitted by Section 6.10 and Section 7.6. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is generally engaged in the business of purchasing or selling Margin Stock or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin
Stock. Margin Stock constitutes less than 25% of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries that are subject to any limitation on sale or pledge, or any similar restriction, hereunder. 

5.9 Title to Properties. The Company and its Material Subsidiaries have good record and marketable title in fee simple to, or
valid leasehold or other valid contractual interests in, all real property necessary or used in the ordinary conduct of their respective businesses, except for such defects in title or interest as could not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its Material Subsidiaries have good title to or a leasehold or other contractual interest in all their other respective material properties and assets. 

5.10 Taxes. The Company and its Subsidiaries have filed all federal (United States of America and Canada) income and other
material tax returns and reports (including foreign tax returns and reports) required to be filed, and have paid all federal (United States of America and Canada) income and other material taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges
(including foreign taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges) imposed by any Governmental Authority that may give rise to a Lien, except those which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or action and for which
adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP. There is no proposed tax assessment against the Company or any Subsidiary that would have a Material Adverse Effect. 

5.11 Financial Condition. 
 (a) The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries dated December 31, 2011, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries
dated June 30, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income or operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal periods ended on such dates: 

  
 56 

 (i) were prepared in all material respects in accordance with GAAP consistently applied
throughout the periods covered thereby, except (x) as otherwise expressly noted therein and (y) for the absence of footnotes, and subject to audit and normal year-end adjustments; 

(ii) fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and
results of operations for the periods covered thereby. 
 (b) Since December 31, 2011, there has been no Material Adverse
Effect. 
 5.12 Environmental Matters. Except as disclosed on Schedule 5.12, to the best of the Company’s
knowledge, all existing Environmental Laws and existing Environmental Claims on its business, operations and properties, could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

5.13 Regulated Entities. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is an “Investment Company” within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act, any state public utilities code, or any other Federal or state statute or regulation limiting its ability to incur Debt.

 5.14 Subsidiaries. As of the Restatement Signing Date, the Company has no Subsidiaries other than those listed on

Schedule 5.14 and no Material Subsidiaries other than those designated as such on Schedule 5.14. Each of the Canadian Borrower and the Dutch Borrower is an indirect Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company. 

5.15 Insurance. The properties of the Company and its Material Subsidiaries are insured either by adequately reserved
self-insurance or with financially sound and reputable insurance companies (except to the extent that any insurance company insuring the properties of the Company and its Material Subsidiaries ceases to be financially sound and reputable after the
Restatement Effective Date, in which case, the Company shall promptly replace such insurance company with a financially sound and reputable insurance company), in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks as are customarily carried
by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in localities where the Company or such Material Subsidiary operates.

 69 

 8.2 Remedies Upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing,
the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders, take any or all of the following actions: 
 (a) declare the commitment of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions to be terminated, whereupon such commitments and obligation shall be terminated;

 (b) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other
amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Borrower; 

(c) require the Company to immediately Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an amount equal to the then Effective Amount thereof,
whereupon the Company shall become immediately obligated to provide such Cash Collateral to the Administrative Agent; and 
 (d)
exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or applicable Law; 
 provided that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Company under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, the obligation of each Lender to
make Loans and any obligation of the L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and
payable, and the obligation of the Company to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as set forth in subsection (c) above, shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

 8.3 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.2 (or after the Loans have
automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 8.2), any amount received on account of the Obligations of the
Borrowers shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order: 
 First, to payment of that portion of
the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including Attorney Costs and amounts payable under Section 3) payable to the Administrative Agent; 

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and
interest) payable to the Lenders (including Attorney Costs and amounts payable under Section 3), ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Second payable to them; 

  
 70 

 Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid
interest on the Loans and L/C Borrowings, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them; 
 Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and L/C Borrowings ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in
this clause Fourth held by them; 
 Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer, to Cash
Collateralize the undrawn amount of Letters of Credit, ratably in proportion to the respective amounts thereof; and 

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash, to the applicable Loan Party or as
otherwise required by Law. 
 Subject to subsection 2.7.3, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of
Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such
remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above. 
 8.4 Rights Not
Exclusive. The rights provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other right, power, privilege or remedy provided by Law or in equity, or under any other instrument, document or
agreement now existing or hereafter arising. 
 SECTION 9 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 

9.1 Appointment and Authorization. 
 (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 9.9) appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship
with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine
of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 

  
 71 

 (b) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit
issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Section 9 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the
L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as
used in this Section 9 and in the definition of “Agent-Related Person” included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer. 

9.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or
attorney-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care. 
 9.3 Liability of Administrative Agent. None of the
Agent-Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any Lender for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, or any officer thereof, contained in
this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any Agent-Related Person under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the
validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Borrower or any other party hereto to perform its obligations hereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be
under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of
the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates. 
 9.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone
message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including
counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first
receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby) as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders
against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this
Agreement in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all
Lenders. 

  
 72 

 9.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge
or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable
Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender, a Borrower or the other Agent referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default and stating that such notice is a
“notice of default”. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default as may be
requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 8; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such request, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain
from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders. 
 9.6 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no
act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any
Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance
upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrowers hereunder.
Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and
decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the
Borrowers. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit
or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person. 

9.7 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders
shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrowers and without limiting any obligation of the Borrowers to do so), pro rata according to their respective Total Pro Rata Shares, and
hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any Indemnified Liability of any Agent-Related Person (a) unless such Indemnified Liability was
incurred by such Agent-Related Person acting in its capacity as, or acting on behalf of another Person in its capacity as, the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer; 

  
 73 

 
and (b) to the extent such Indemnified Liability is determined by a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct (it being understood that no action taken in accordance with the direction of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section). Without
limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) 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 rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other
Loan Document or any document contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the
termination of the Commitments, the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent. 

9.8 Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity. Wells Fargo Bank and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit
for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though Wells Fargo
Bank were not the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Agent-Related Persons may receive information regarding the Company or its
Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Company or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that no Agent-Related Person shall have any obligation to provide such information to them. With respect
to its Loans and other Credit Extensions hereunder, Wells Fargo Bank and any Affiliate thereof shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though Wells Fargo Bank were not the
Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer. 
 9.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as the
Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers; provided that any resignation by Wells Fargo Bank of its role as Administrative Agent shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer. If the Administrative
Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor for the Administrative Agent, which successor shall be consented to by the Company at all times other than during the existence of an Event of
Default (which consent of the Company shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after
consulting with the Lenders and the Company, a successor from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as a successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of
the retiring Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as an “Administrative Agent” and as the “L/C Issuer” shall be terminated, without any other or
further act or deed on the part of such retiring Administrative Agent or any other Lender, other than the obligation of the successor L/C Issuer to issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of
such succession or to make other arrangements 

  
 74 

 
satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit. If no Person has accepted appointment as successor
agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the
duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After the appointment of a successor agent, the terms “Administrative Agent” and “L/C
Issuer”, as applicable, shall mean such successor agent and Letter of Credit issuer. 
 9.10 Administrative Agent May
File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower, the Administrative Agent
(irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on such Borrower)
shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole
amount of the Obligations of such Borrower that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to prove the claims of the applicable Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the applicable Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the applicable Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereunder or
under any other Loan Document); and 
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in
any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each applicable Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the applicable Lenders, to pay to
the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent (including in its capacity as
L/C Issuer) under Sections 2.7.10, 2.13, 10.4 and 10.5. 
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the
Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. 
 9.11 Release of Guarantors.
The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly, release any Subsidiary from its obligations under the Guaranty if such entity ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction
permitted hereunder or otherwise is not required to be a Guarantor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including pursuant to Section 11.20). In determining whether any such release is permitted, the Administrative Agent may (absent
actual 

  
 75 

 
knowledge to the contrary) rely on a certificate of the Company. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s
authority to release any Subsidiary from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.11. 
 9.12
Other Agents. No Lender identified herein or in any related document as a “Co-Documentation Agent” or a “Co-Agent” or a “Joint Lead Arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or
duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has
not relied, and will not rely, on any Lender so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 
 SECTION 10 GUARANTY BY THE COMPANY 
 10.1 Guaranty. The Company
hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the full and punctual payment (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) of all amounts payable by the Canadian Borrower and the Dutch Borrower under this Agreement
(whether for principal, interest, fees or any other amount). Upon failure by the Canadian Borrower or the Dutch Borrower to pay punctually any such amount, the Company shall forthwith on demand pay the amount not so paid at the place, in the
currency and in the manner specified in this Agreement. In addition (and without limiting the foregoing), upon any Obligation of the Canadian Borrower or the Dutch Borrower being declared or otherwise becoming immediately due and payable pursuant to
Section 8.2, the Company shall forthwith on demand pay all amounts payable in respect of such Canadian Loan or Dutch Loan, as applicable, at the place, in the currency and in the manner specified in this Agreement. The guaranty of the Company
under this Section 10 is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. 
 10.2 Guaranty Unconditional. The
obligations of the Company under this Section 10 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by: 

(a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of the Canadian Borrower or the Dutch
Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, by operation of law or otherwise; 
 (b) any modification or amendment
of or supplement to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; 
 (c) any release, impairment, non-perfection or invalidity of
any other guaranty or of any direct or indirect security for any obligation of the Canadian Borrower or the Dutch Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; 
 (d) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Canadian Borrower or the Dutch Borrower or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the
Canadian Borrower or the Dutch Borrower or the Canadian Borrower’s or the Dutch Borrower’s assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Canadian Borrower or the Dutch Borrower contained in this Agreement or any
other Loan Document; 

  
 76 

 (e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right which the Company may have at any
time against the Canadian Borrower or the Dutch Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transaction, provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such
claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim; 
 (f) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Canadian
Borrower or the Dutch Borrower for any reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any provision of Applicable Law purporting to prohibit the payment by the Canadian Borrower or the Dutch Borrower of the principal of or interest on any
other Loan Document or any other amount payable by the Canadian Borrower or the Dutch Borrower under this Agreement; or 
 (g)
any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Canadian Borrower or the Dutch Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this
paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Company’s obligations as guarantor hereunder. 
 10.3
Discharge Only Upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. The Company’s obligations as guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments have terminated and all obligations of the Canadian
Borrower and the Dutch Borrower under this Agreement and each other Loan Document have been paid in full (other than any contingent indemnification or similar obligation not yet due and payable). If at any time any payment of principal, interest or
any other amount payable by the Canadian Borrower or the Dutch Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Borrower or
otherwise, the Company’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time. 
 10.4 Waiver by the Company. The Company irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided otherwise for herein, as well as any requirement that at any
time any action be taken by any Person against the Canadian Borrower or the Dutch Borrower or any other Person. The Company further hereby waives the benefits of all provisions of Law permitting or providing for discharge of the liability and
obligation of the Company as guarantor hereunder based on the action or failure to act by the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the enforcement of the obligations and liability guaranteed hereby against the Canadian Borrower or the
Dutch Borrower or either of their respective property. 
 10.5 Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by or for
the account of the Canadian Borrower or the Dutch Borrower pursuant to this Section 10, the Company shall not be subrogated to any right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender until such time as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
shall have received final payment in cash of the full amount of all obligations of the Canadian Borrower and the Dutch Borrower hereunder. 

  
 77 

 10.6 Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount
payable by the Canadian Borrower or the Dutch Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Canadian Borrower or the Dutch Borrower, as applicable, all such amounts
otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by the Company hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent made at the request of the Required Lenders. 

SECTION 11 MISCELLANEOUS 
 11.1 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent with respect to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless the same
shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent at the written request of the Required Lenders) and the Borrowers and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and then any such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that no such waiver, amendment or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each Lender directly affected thereby and the Borrowers and
acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, do any of the following: 
 (a) increase (except as permitted by Section 2.20
and except for any increase in the Canadian Sublimit or the Dutch Sublimit permitted by Section 2.21) or extend the Commitment of any Lender (or reinstate any Commitment terminated pursuant to Section 8.2); 

(b) postpone or delay any date fixed by this Agreement for any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders
(or any of them) hereunder; 
 (c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan or L/C
Borrowing, or reduce any fees or other amounts payable hereunder; provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Company to pay
interest or Letter of Credit Fees at the Default Rate; 
 (d) change the Total Pro Rata Share which is required for the Lenders
or any of them to take any action hereunder; 
 (e) change Section 2.17, 2.18 or 8.3 in a manner that would
alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby; 
 (f) amend the definition of “Required Lenders” or this
Section or any provision herein providing for consent or other action by all Lenders; or 

  
 78 

 (g) release the Company’s guaranty contained in Section 10 or release all or
substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guaranty (other than pursuant to Section 11.20 or as expressly permitted hereunder); 
 and provided, further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the L/C Issuer in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or
duties of the L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any L/C Application relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; and (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in
addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender. 
 No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right hereunder or
thereunder nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further exercise thereof or of any other right hereunder or thereunder. The Lenders may condition the giving or making of any amendment, waiver or consent of
any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document on payment of a fee by the Borrowers (which may be payable only to the Lenders that consent to such matters within specified periods). 

In connection with any such proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination requiring the consent of all Lenders directly affected thereby (such
proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination, a “Proposed Change”), if the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of the other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose
consent is not obtained as described in this Section 11.1 being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, at the Company’s request, the Lender that is acting as the Administrative Agent or an Eligible
Assignee that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent shall have the right with the Administrative Agent’s consent 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 that is acting as the Administrative Agent or its Eligible Assignee, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including for purposes of
this paragraph, such Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment, U.S. Loans, Canadian Loans, Dutch Loans, L/C Advances and participations in L/C Obligations) for an amount equal to 100% of the principal balance of all U.S. Loans, Canadian Loans, Dutch
Loans and L/C Advances by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale (or such other amounts as may be agreed upon by the Non-Consenting Lender and the assignee). In such event, the
Non-Consenting Lender agrees to execute an Assignment and Assumption to reflect such purchase and sale, but regardless of whether such Assignment and Assumption is executed, such Non-Consenting Lender’s rights hereunder, except rights under
Section 11.5 with respect to actions prior to such date, shall cease from and after the date of tender by the purchaser of the amount of the purchase price.

 In addition, the Company may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, make one or
more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders to make one or more amendments or modifications to (A) allow the maturity of the Loans and/or Commitments of the accepting Lenders to be extended,
(B) reduce, eliminate or extend the scheduled amortization of the Loans of the accepting Lenders and (C) increase the applicable interest rate and/or fees payable with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the accepting Lenders and the
payment of additional fees or other consideration to the accepting Lenders (“Permitted Amendments”) pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Company. Such notice shall
set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is required to become effective. Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans
and/or Commitments of the Lenders that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments
as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made. The Company, each other Loan Party and each Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a loan modification agreement (“Loan Modification
Agreement”) and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the
extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made. 

11.2 Notices. 
 (a) Except for notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone or as provided in subsection (b) below, all notices, requests and other communications hereunder shall
be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by facsimile or electronic mail as follows, (i) if to the Company, the Canadian Borrower, the Dutch Borrower, the
Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified for such Person on Schedule 11.2 or such other address as shall be designated by such Person in a written notice
to the other parties hereto; or (ii) if to any Lender, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified on its Administrative Questionnaire or such other address as shall be designated by such Lender in a
written notice to the Company, the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer. Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile or
electronic mail shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient);
provided, however, that any notice delivered to the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer under Section 2 shall not be effective until actually received by such Person. Notices delivered through electronic communications
(to the extent permitted hereunder) subsection (b) below. 

  
 80 

 (b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder (collectively, the
“Communications”) may be delivered or furnished by posting such notices on an electronic delivery system (which may be provided by the Administrative Agent, an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any Person that is not an
Affiliate of the Administrative Agent), such as IntraLinks, The Debt Exchange, Inc., DXSyndicate or a substantially similar electronic system (the “Platform”). The Borrowers acknowledge that (i) the distribution of material
through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (iii) neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, sufficiency, or sequencing of the Communications posted on the Platform. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates expressly disclaim with respect to
the Platform any liability for errors in transmission, incorrect or incomplete downloading, delays in posting or delivery, or problems accessing the Communications posted on the Platform and any liability for any losses, costs, expenses or
liabilities that may be suffered or incurred in connection with the Platform except for liability determined to be due to the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory,
including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in
connection with the Platform. 
 (c) Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in this subsection 11.2(c)) (a
“Notice”) specifying that any Communication to the Lenders hereunder has been posted to the Platform shall for purposes of this Agreement constitute effective delivery to such Lender of such information, documents or other materials
comprising such Communication. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify, on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail address to which a Notice may be sent (and
from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail address. 

(d) The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notice (including any telephonic
Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation) purportedly given by or on behalf of a Borrower even if (i) such notice was not made in a manner specified herein, was incomplete or was not preceded or followed by any other form of
notice specified herein or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. Each Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Lenders and the Agent-Related Persons from all
losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on any notice given or purportedly given by or on behalf of such Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent
may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 
 (e) Each
Borrower hereby appoints and constitutes the Company (the “Borrower Representative”) as its agent to (i) receive statements on account and all other notices from the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer and
(ii) execute and deliver notices, statements and certificates to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, in each case, with respect to the Obligations or otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. Any notice, election, 

  
 81 

 
representation, warranty, agreement or undertaking by or on behalf of any other Borrower by the Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower, as the
case may be, and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if made directly by such Borrower. Any notice or certificate required or permitted hereunder to be delivered by any or all of the Borrowers (or their
Responsible Officers) may be delivered by the Borrower Representative (or its Responsible Officers) on behalf of any or all of the Borrowers, as the case may be. The Borrowers may replace the Borrower Representative with a different Borrower from
time to time upon prior written notice to the Administrative Agent. 
 11.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to
exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or
privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. 
 11.4 Costs and Expenses. The Company (and, to the extent any of the following relate directly to the Canadian Borrower or the Dutch Borrower or the credit made available to it hereunder, the
Canadian Borrower and/or the Dutch Borrower, as applicable) shall: 
 (a) whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby
are consummated, pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers within five Business Days after demand (which demand shall be accompanied by a reasonably detailed invoice), or earlier if required by subsection 4.1.6,
for all costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs of one counsel and one Canadian counsel representing all of the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers in connection
with the development, preparation, execution and delivery of, and any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to (in each case, whether or not consummated), this Agreement and any other document prepared in connection herewith, and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; and 
 (b) pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead
Arrangers and each Lender within five Business Days after demand (which demand shall be accompanied by a reasonably detailed invoice) for all costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by them in connection with the enforcement or, or
preservation of any rights or remedies under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document during the existence of an Event of Default (including in connection with any “workout” or restructuring and in any Insolvency Proceeding or appellate
proceeding). 
 The agreements in this Section shall survive payment of all other Obligations. 

11.5 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Company (and, to the extent any of
the following relate directly to the Canadian Borrower or the Dutch Borrower or the credit made available to it hereunder, the Canadian Borrower or the Dutch Borrower) shall indemnify and hold the Agent-Related Persons, the Joint Lead Arrangers and
each Lender and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (each an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, 

  
 82 

 
charges, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following repayment of the Loans and the termination,
resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or a Joint Lead Arranger or replacement of a Lender) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any document
contemplated by or referred to herein, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or any action taken or omitted by any Indemnified Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing, including with respect to any investigation,
litigation or proceeding (including any Insolvency Proceeding or appellate proceeding) related to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the Credit Extensions or the use of the proceeds thereof, whether or not any Indemnified
Person is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that the no Borrower shall have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to (a) items of the
types described in subsection 11.4(a), for which the Borrowers are obligated to indemnify only the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers as provided therein; or (b) Indemnified Liabilities that are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or from the breach by such Indemnified Person of Section 11.9; or (c) Indemnified
Liabilities that arise from disputes among Indemnified Persons. The agreements in this Section shall survive payment of all other Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Loan Parties’ indemnification obligation with
respect to Attorney Costs shall only apply to one counsel representing all Indemnified Persons and, if necessary, local counsel, unless a conflict of interest exists between or among Indemnified Persons. 

11.6 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that a Borrower makes a payment to the Administrative Agent or a Lender, or the
Administrative Agent or a Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant
to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee or receiver, or any other party, in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such
recovery the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred and (b) each Lender severally agrees to
pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its pro rata share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent. 
 11.7 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notify the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot
Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Borrower, which information includes the name and address of
such Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. 

  
 83 

 11.8 Successors and Assigns. 

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and permitted assigns, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection 11.8(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection 11.8(d), (iii) by way of
pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection 11.8(f), or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of subsection 11.8(g) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party
hereto shall be null and void). 
 (b) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of
its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, its Loans and its participations in L/C Obligations, and its participations or subparticipations in any of the foregoing, in each case to the extent
applicable); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and other rights and obligations hereunder, the aggregate amount of the Commitment subject to an
assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not
be less than U.S.$5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company otherwise consents; (ii) each partial assignment of a Commitment shall be made as an assignment
of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Commitment; (iii) any assignment of all or any portion of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent
(unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender with a Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or a related Approved Fund of such Lender), the L/C Issuer and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an
Eligible Assignee); and (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of U.S.$3,500. Subject to acceptance and recording
thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 11.8(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released
from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to
be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.3, 3.4, 11.4 and 11.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of
rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection
11.8(d). The Administrative Agent will notify the Company promptly in writing of any assignment of all or any portion of a Commitment that does not require the Company’s consent. 

  
 84 

 (c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers,
shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and the amounts owing to, each
Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice, and the Administrative Agent will provide a copy of the Register to the Company upon the Company’s reasonable request. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or other substantive change to
the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender wishing to consult with other Lenders in connection therewith may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register. 

(d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to
any Person (other than a natural person or the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment, its Loans, its participations in L/C Obligations), and its participations or subparticipations in any of the foregoing, in each case to the extent applicable; provided that (i) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent
and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation
shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such
Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.1 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to subsection 11.8(e), the
Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.3 and 3.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection 11.8(b). To
the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.10 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Sections 2.17 , 2.18 and 11.9 as
though it were a Lender. 
 (e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1 or
3.3 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent. A
Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.1 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of
the Company, to comply with Section 11.15 as though it were a Lender. 

  
 85 

 (f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion
of its rights under this Agreement (including under any Note) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release
such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special
purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Company the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would
otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make
all or any part of such Loan (or to fund a participation pursuant to Section 2.18), the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan (or to fund such participation) pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such
payment to the Administrative Agent as is required under 
Section 2.16. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise
increase or change the obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.3), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender
would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the Lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by
an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the
termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting
against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or of Canada or any province thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Company or the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to
the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to
such SPC. 
 (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Wells Fargo Bank assigns all of its
Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection 11.8(b), Wells Fargo Bank may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Company and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer, the Company shall be entitled
to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer hereunder; provided that no failure by the Company to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Wells Fargo Bank as L/C Issuer. If Wells Fargo Bank resigns as L/C
Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and 

  
 86 

 
obligations of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto
(including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to subsection 2.7.3). 
 11.9 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to take and to cause its Affiliates to take normal and reasonable precautions and exercise due care to maintain the confidentiality of all information
provided to it by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall use or disclose any such information other than in connection with matters directly
relating to or in enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with other business now or hereafter existing or contemplated with the Company or any Subsidiary; except to the extent such information (a) was or
becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by such Lender or an Affiliate thereof, or (b) was or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or a Subsidiary, provided
that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Company known to such Lender; provided that any Lender may disclose such information (i) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority
(including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) to which such Lender is subject or in connection with an examination of such Lender by any such authority; (ii) pursuant to subpoena or other
court process; (iii) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law; (iv) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation or proceeding to which the Administrative Agent,
any Lender or their respective Affiliates may be party; (v) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (vi) to such Lender’s independent auditors and
other professional advisors; (vii) to any Participant or assignee, actual or potential, provided that such Person agrees in writing to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Lenders hereunder; (viii) as to
any Lender or its Affiliates, as expressly permitted under the terms of any other document or agreement regarding confidentiality to which the Company or any Subsidiary is party with such Lender or such Affiliate; and (ix) subject to the
restrictions above, to its Affiliates, provided that any such Affiliate agrees in writing to keep such information confidential to the extent required hereunder. Each Lender will, so long as not prohibited from doing so by any Requirement of Law,
notify the Company of any request for information of the type referred to in clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above prior to disclosing such information so that the Company may seek appropriate relief from any applicable court or other
Governmental Authority. 
 11.10 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, if an
Event of Default exists, or the Loans have been accelerated, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to any Borrower, any such notice being waived by the Borrowers 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, but excluding deposits held in a trustee, fiduciary, agency or similar capacity or otherwise for the benefit of a third party) at any time held by, and
other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any and all Obligations of such Borrower owing to such Lender, now or hereafter

  
 87 

 
existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each
Lender agrees promptly to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

 11.11 Notification of Addresses, Lending Offices, Etc. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and the
Company in writing of any change in the address to which notices to such Lender should be directed, of the address of any Lending Office, of payment instructions in respect of payments to be made to it hereunder and of such other administrative
information as the Administrative Agent or the Company shall reasonably request. 
 11.12 Counterparts. This Agreement
may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, and all of which taken together shall be deemed to constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of a counterpart hereof, or
a signature page hereto, by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually-signed counterpart hereof. 
 11.13 Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or
enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or such instrument or agreement. 
 11.14 No Third Parties
Benefited. This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Agent-Related Persons and the Indemnified Persons and their permitted successors and
assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement. 
 11.15 Tax Forms. 
 (a) (i) Each Lender that is not a “United States
person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Foreign Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Company, prior to receipt of any payment subject to withholding under the Code (or upon
accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two duly signed completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on all
payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Company pursuant to this Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Company pursuant to this Agreement) or such other
evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Company that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax, including any exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Code. Thereafter and
from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall (A) promptly submit to the Administrative Agent and the Company such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to
time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Company of any available
exemption from or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, 

  
 88 

 
(B) promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Company of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (C) take such
steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Law that the Company
make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Foreign Lender. 
 (ii) Each Foreign Lender, to the
extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Lender under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the case of a typical participation by such Lender), shall deliver to
the Administrative Agent and the Company on the date when such Foreign Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the
Administrative Agent or the Company (in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (A) two duly signed completed copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Lender, as set forth above, to establish the portion of any such
sums paid or payable with respect to which such Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to U.S. withholding tax, and (B) two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto), together with any information
such Lender chooses to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code, to establish that such Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such
Lender. 
 (iii) The Company shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Foreign Lender under Section 3.1
(A) with respect to any Taxes required to be deducted or withheld on the basis of the information, certificates or statements of exemption such Lender transmits with an IRS Form W-8IMY pursuant to this subsection 11.15(a) or (B) if
such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this subsection 11.15(a); provided that if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirement of this subsection 11.15(a) on the date such Lender became a Lender or
ceased to act for its own account with respect to any payment under any of the Loan Documents, nothing in this subsection 11.15(a) shall relieve the Company of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 3.1 in the event
that, as a result of any change in any applicable Law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms,
certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender or other Person for the account of which such Lender receives any sums payable under any of the Loan Documents is not subject to withholding or is subject to
withholding at a reduced rate. 
 (iv) The Administrative Agent or the Company may, without reduction, withhold any Taxes
required to be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents with respect to which the Company is not required to pay additional amounts under this subsection 11.15(a). 

(b) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Company, each Lender that is a “United States person” within the
meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Company two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-9. If such Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from
any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable back-up withholding tax imposed by the Code, without reduction. 

  
 89 

 (c) If any Governmental Authority (including the IRS or the Canada Customs and Revenue
Agency) asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent
therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) of the Administrative Agent. The
obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent. 

(d) If a payment made to a Lender would be subject to withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender fails to comply with the applicable
reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to a Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested
by such Borrower, such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower as may be necessary for such Borrower to
comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Each Lender shall promptly notify a Borrower and
Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption, reduction or compliance with FATCA with respect to such Borrower. 

11.16 Governing Law and Jurisdiction. 
 (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS; PROVIDED THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING
UNDER FEDERAL LAW. 
 (b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE
BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN
RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS. THE BORROWERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM
NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT. THE BORROWERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS WAIVE PERSONAL
SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY ILLINOIS LAW. 

  
 90 

 11.17 Jury Trial. EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE LENDERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ANY ISSUE RELATING HERETO IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.

 11.18 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due
hereunder or under any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal and customary banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency
with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document
shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”),
be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may in accordance with normal
and customary 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 or such Lender in the Agreement
Currency, the applicable Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than
the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender agrees to return the amount of any excess to the applicable Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto
under Applicable Law). 
 11.19 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents and any fee
letter among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers (or any of them), embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, and supersedes all prior or
contemporaneous agreements and understandings of such Persons, verbal or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. 
 11.20 Designation and Release of Guarantors. The Company may from time to time, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, (a) designate any Domestic Subsidiary that is not a Material
Subsidiary as a Guarantor (and, in the case of any such designation, the Company shall promptly cause such Domestic Subsidiary to comply with the requirements of Section 6.13); and (b) so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured
Event of Default exists or would result therefrom, release any Domestic Subsidiary that is not a Material Subsidiary from its obligations under the Guaranty (and upon such release, such Domestic Subsidiary shall cease to be a Guarantor). In
addition, notwithstanding any provision hereof or of any other Loan Document to the contrary, if (i) the 

  
 91 

 
Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 0.35:1.0 as of the end of the then most recent fiscal quarter, and (ii) the Guarantors to be released do not have (or, upon giving effect to their
release hereunder, will not have) Guaranty Obligations in respect of any Debt facility for borrowed money of the Company with an aggregate amount of commitments of $50,000,000 or more (excluding Debt under the Guaranty), upon receipt of a written
request from the Company, the Administrative Agent shall promptly release such Guarantors from their obligations under the Guaranty; provided that, if any of such Guarantors subsequently intend to incur Guaranty Obligations in respect of any
Debt facility for borrowed money of the Company with an aggregate amount of commitments of $50,000,000 or more (excluding Debt under the Guaranty), as a condition to incurring such Guaranty Obligations, such Guarantors shall again be designated as
Guarantors and the Company shall promptly cause such Guarantors to comply with the requirements of Section 6.13 for so long as such Guarantors have such Guaranty Obligations outstanding. 

  
 92 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and

 FORM OF GUARANTY 

 GUARANTY 
 THIS GUARANTY dated as of November 12, 2010 is executed in favor of WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”),
and the other Lender Parties (as defined below). 
 W I T N E S S E
T H: 
 WHEREAS, A. O. Smith Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), A.O. Smith
Enterprises Ltd., an Ontario corporation, A. O. Smith International Holdings B.V., a Netherlands limited liability company, the several financial institutions from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and the Administrative
Agent have entered into a Credit Agreement dated as of November 12, 2010 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; capitalized definitional terms used but not defined herein have the
respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement); and 
 WHEREAS, each of the undersigned will benefit from the
making of loans and the issuance of letters of credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement and is willing to guaranty the Liabilities (as defined below) as hereinafter set forth; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each of the undersigned agrees as follows: 

1. Guaranty. Each of the undersigned jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, as primary obligor and not merely as
surety, guarantees the full and prompt payment when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of (a) all Obligations of the Company from time to time arising under or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any
other Loan Document, as the same may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, (b) all Hedging Obligations of the Company to any Lender Party (as defined below) and (c) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and charges) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party in enforcing this Guaranty or any other applicable Loan Document against such undersigned (all of the foregoing
obligations, the “Liabilities”); provided that the liability of each of the undersigned hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount of the Liabilities which such undersigned may guaranty without rendering this Guaranty
void or voidable with respect to such undersigned under any applicable fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law. As used herein, “Lender Party” means the Administrative Agent and each Lender and any Affiliate of a Lender
that is a party to a Hedging Agreement with the Company. 
 2. Representation and Warranty. Each of the undersigned
represents and warrants that it has received adequate consideration with respect to the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty. 
 3. Payment Prior to Maturity. Each of the undersigned agrees that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Company under the Bankruptcy Code of
the United States, and if such event shall occur at a time when any of the Liabilities are not due and payable, such undersigned will pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender Parties forthwith the full amount that would be
payable hereunder by such undersigned if all Liabilities were then due and payable. 

 4. Right of Setoff. Each of the undersigned agrees that if an Event of Default
exists, or the Loans have been accelerated, each Lender Party is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to such undersigned, any such notice being waived by the undersigned 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 by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender Party to or for the credit or the account of such undersigned against any and
all Liabilities owing to such Lender Party, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Lender Party shall have made demand hereunder and although such Liabilities may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender Party shall promptly
notify the applicable undersigned, the Company and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and
application. 
 5. Guaranty Unconditional. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 19, this Guaranty
shall in all respects be a continuing, irrevocable, absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not only collectability, and shall remain in full force and effect (notwithstanding the dissolution of any of the undersigned,
that at any time or from time to time no Liabilities are outstanding or any other circumstance) until all Commitments have terminated and all Liabilities have been paid in full. 

6. Reinstatement. The undersigned further agree that if at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party to any of the Liabilities is or must be rescinded or returned by the Administrative Agent or such other Lender Party for any reason whatsoever (including the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of
the Company or any of the undersigned), such Liabilities shall, for purposes of this Guaranty, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application by the
Administrative Agent or such other Lender Party, and this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Liabilities, all as though such application by the Administrative Agent or such other Lender Party had
not been made. 
 7. Certain Rights of Administrative Agent and Other Lender Parties. The Administrative Agent or any
other Lender Party may, from time to time, in its sole discretion and without notice to the undersigned (or any of them), take any of the following actions without affecting the obligations of the undersigned hereunder (unless such undersigned is
released from its obligations pursuant to Section 19): (a) retain or obtain a security interest in any property to secure any Liabilities or any obligation hereunder, (b) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligation of
any obligor or obligors, in addition to the undersigned, with respect to any Liabilities, (c) extend or renew any Liabilities for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any Liabilities, or
release or compromise any obligation of any of the undersigned hereunder or any obligation of any nature of any other obligor with respect to any Liabilities, (d) release its security interest in, or surrender, release or permit any
substitution or exchange for, all or any part of any property securing any Liabilities or any obligation hereunder, or extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period) or release, compromise, alter or exchange
any obligations of any nature of any obligor 

 
with respect to any such property, and (e) resort to any of the undersigned for payment of any Liabilities when due, whether or not the Administrative Agent or such other Lender Party shall
have resorted to any property securing any of the Liabilities or any obligation hereunder or shall have proceeded against any other of the undersigned or any other obligor primarily or secondarily obligated with respect to any Liabilities.

 8. Application of Payments; Delay of Subrogation. Any amount received by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender
Party from whatever source on account of the Liabilities may be applied by it toward the payment of the Liabilities in accordance with the Credit Agreement; and, notwithstanding any payment made by or for the account of any of the undersigned
pursuant to this Guaranty, the undersigned shall not exercise any right of subrogation to any right of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party until such time as this Guaranty shall have been terminated as to all of the undersigned and
the Lender Parties shall have received final payment in cash of the full amount of all Liabilities. 
 9. Certain
Waivers. The undersigned expressly waive (a) notice of the acceptance by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party of this Guaranty, (b) notice of the existence or creation or non-payment of any Liabilities,
(c) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notices whatsoever, and (d) all diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon any Liabilities or any security for or guaranty of any Liabilities.

 10. Additional Liabilities. The creation or existence from time to time of additional Liabilities to any Lender Party
is authorized, without notice to the any of the undersigned, and shall in no way affect or impair the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party or the obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty. 

11. Assignments and Transfers. The Administrative Agent and any other Lender Party may from time to time, without notice to any of
the undersigned, assign or transfer any Liabilities or any interest therein; and notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such Liabilities shall be and remain Liabilities for purposes of this
Guaranty, and each and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any Liabilities or of any interest therein shall, to the extent of the interest of such assignee or transferee in the Liabilities, be entitled to the benefits of this
Guaranty to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were an original Lender Party. 
 12. Delay not a Waiver,
etc. No delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party of
any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy; nor shall any modification or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty be binding upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender
Party except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered on behalf of the Administrative Agent (or, if at any time there is no Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders or, if required pursuant to Section 11.1 of the
Credit Agreement, all Lenders). No action of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party or the obligations of the
undersigned under this Guaranty. For purposes 

 
of this Guaranty, Liabilities shall include all obligations of the Company to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party arising under or in connection with any Loan Document,
notwithstanding any right or power of the Company or anyone else to assert any claim or defense as to the invalidity or unenforceability of any obligation, and no such claim or defense shall affect or impair the obligations of the undersigned
hereunder. 
 13. Role of Administrative Agent. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, (a) this Guaranty has been
delivered to the Administrative Agent and (b) the Administrative Agent has been authorized to enforce this Guaranty on behalf of itself and all other Lender Parties. All payments by the undersigned pursuant to this Guaranty shall be made to the
Administrative Agent for application as set forth in the Credit Agreement or, if there is no Administrative Agent, to the Lender Parties for their ratable benefit. 
 14. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the undersigned and the successors and assigns of the undersigned; and to the extent that the Company or any of the undersigned is a
partnership, corporation, limited liability company or other entity, all references herein to the Company and to such undersigned, respectively, shall be deemed to include any successor or successors, whether immediate or remote, to such entity. The
term “undersigned” means all parties executing this Guaranty and each of them, and all such parties shall be jointly and severally obligated hereunder. 
 15. Governing Law. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE A CONTRACT GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. Wherever possible each provision of this Guaranty
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty. 
 16.
Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original but all such counterparts shall together

 17. Additional Guarantors. At any time after the date of this Guaranty, one or more additional Persons may become parties hereto by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a
counterpart of this Guaranty. Immediately upon such execution and delivery (and without any further action), each such additional Person will become a party to, and will be bound by all of the terms of, this Guaranty. 

18. Addresses. Any notice or other communication hereunder shall conform with the requirements of, and shall be deemed received as
provided in, Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement. Notices to the Administrative Agent shall be sent to its address specified in, or pursuant to, the Credit Agreement. Notices to any of the undersigned shall be sent to the address of
such undersigned on Schedule I hereto (or such other address as it shall have specified in writing to the Administrative Agent as its address for notices hereunder). 

 19. JURISDICTION, ETC. ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS. EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY
EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY (A) SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION; (B) WAIVES PERSONAL
SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY ILLINOIS LAW; AND (C) WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE
OR ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.
