 THE CREDITS 
  
 2.01 Amounts and Terms of Commitments. Each Bank severally agrees, on
the terms and conditions set forth herein, to make loans on a revolving credit basis to the Company (each such loan, a “Revolving Loan”) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to, but not
including, the Credit Termination Date; provided that (a) the aggregate principal Dollar Equivalent amount of such Bank’s Revolving Loans plus such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations
plus such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Bank’s Commitment; (b) after giving effect to any Borrowing, the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the
combined Commitments and (c) after giving effect to any Borrowing of Offshore Currency Loans, the aggregate principal Dollar Equivalent amount of all outstanding Offshore Currency Loans shall not exceed the Offshore Currency Loan Sublimit. Within
the limits of each Bank’s Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay pursuant to Section 2.08 and reborrow pursuant to this Section 2.01.

  

 20 

 2.02 Loan Accounts. 
  
 (a) The Loans made by each Bank shall be evidenced by one or more loan accounts or records maintained by such Bank in the
ordinary course of business. The loan accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Bank shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of the Loans made by the Banks to the Company and the interest and payments thereon. Any
failure so to record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Company hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans. 
  
 (b) Upon the request of any Bank made through the Administrative Agent, the Loans made by such Bank may be evidenced by one
or more notes in substantially the form of Exhibit F hereto (each a “Note”), instead of or in addition to loan accounts. Each such Bank shall endorse on the schedules annexed to its Note the date, amount and maturity of each
Loan made by it and the amount of each payment of principal made by the Company with respect thereto. Each such Bank is irrevocably authorized by the Company to endorse its Note and each Bank’s record shall be deemed prima facie correct;
provided that the failure of a Bank to make, or an error in making, a notation thereon with respect to any Loan shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Company hereunder or under such Note to pay the principal of and
interest on such Loan. 
  
 2.03 Procedure for Borrowing.

  
 (a) Each Borrowing shall be made upon the Company’s
irrevocable written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent in the form of a Notice of Borrowing (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to (i) 10:30 a.m. four Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the
case of Offshore Currency Loans; (ii) 11:30 a.m. three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Offshore Rate Loans denominated in Dollars; and (iii) 10:30 a.m. on the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Base Rate
Loans, in any such case, specifying: 
  
 (i) the
amount of the Borrowing, which shall be in an aggregate amount not less than the Minimum Tranche; 
  
 (ii) the requested Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day; 
  
 (iii) the Type of Revolving Loans comprising the Borrowing; 
  
 (iv) the duration of the Interest Period applicable to any
Offshore Rate Loans included in such notice. If the Notice of Borrowing fails to specify the duration of the Interest Period for any Borrowing comprised of Offshore Rate Loans, such Interest Period shall be one month; and 
  
 (v) in the case of a Borrowing comprised of Offshore
Currency Loans, the Applicable Currency. 
  

 21 

 (b) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Bank
thereof and of the amount of such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing. In the case of a Borrowing comprised of Offshore Currency Loans, such notice will provide the approximate amount of each Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, and
the Administrative Agent will, upon the determination of the Dollar Equivalent amount of the Borrowing as specified in the Notice of Borrowing, promptly notify each Bank of the exact Dollar Equivalent amount of such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the
Borrowing. The Dollar Equivalent amount of any Borrowing in an Offshore Currency will be determined by the Administrative Agent for such Borrowing on the Computation Date therefor in accordance with subsection 2.05(a). 
  
 (c) Each Bank will make the amount of its Pro Rata Share of each Borrowing
available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Company at the Payment Office on the Borrowing Date requested by the Company in Same Day Funds and in the requested currency (i) in the case of a Borrowing comprised of Revolving Loans in
Dollars, by 12:00 noon and (ii) in the case of a Borrowing comprised of Offshore Currency Loans, by such time as the Administrative Agent may specify. The proceeds of all such Revolving Loans will then be made available to the Company by the
Administrative Agent at such office by crediting the account of the Company on the books of Bank of America with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Banks and in like funds as received by the Administrative
Agent. 
  
 (d) After giving effect to any Borrowing, unless the
Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent, there may not be more than 12 different Interest Periods in effect in the aggregate for all Revolving Loans. 
  
 2.04 Conversion and Continuation Elections for Borrowings. 
  
 (a) The Company may, upon irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent in accordance with subsection
2.04(b): 
  
 (i) elect, as of any Business
Day, in the case of Base Rate Loans, or as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, in the case of Offshore Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, to convert such Revolving Loans (or any part thereof in an amount not less than the Minimum
Tranche) into Revolving Loans in Dollars of such Type; or 
  
 (ii) elect, as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, to continue Revolving Loans having Interest Periods expiring on such day (or any part thereof in an amount not less than the Minimum Tranche);

  
 provided that if at any time the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of
Offshore Currency Loans in respect of any Borrowing is reduced, by payment, prepayment, or conversion of part thereof to be less than $5,000,000, such Offshore Currency Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans, and on and after such
date the right of the Company to continue such Loans as, and convert such Loans into, Offshore Currency Loans shall terminate. 
  

 22 

 (b) The Company shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to be received by the Administrative
Agent not later than (i) 11:30 a.m. at least three Business Days in advance of the Conversion/Continuation Date, if Revolving Loans are to be converted into or continued as Offshore Rate Loans denominated in Dollars; (ii) 10:30 a.m. at least four
Business Days in advance of the continuation date, if such Revolving Loans are to be continued as Offshore Currency Loans; and (iii) 10:30 a.m. on the Conversion/Continuation Date, if such Revolving Loans are to be converted into Base Rate Loans,
specifying: 
  
 (A) the proposed
Conversion/Continuation Date; 
  
 (B) the
aggregate amount of Revolving Loans to be converted or continued; 
  
 (C) the Type of Revolving Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or continuation; and 
  
 (D) other than in the case of conversions into Base Rate Loans, the duration of the requested Interest Period. 
  
 (c) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to Offshore Rate
Loans denominated in Dollars, the Company has failed to timely select a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Offshore Rate Loans or if any Default or Event of Default then exists, unless, in either case, the Company has elected to and does
repay such Loans on or prior to the expiration date of such Interest Period, the Company shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Offshore Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such Interest Period. If the
Company has failed to select a new Interest Period to be applicable to Offshore Currency Loans prior to the fourth Business Day in advance of the expiration date of the current Interest Period applicable thereto as provided in subsection
2.04(b), or if any Default or Event of Default shall then exist, the Company shall be deemed to have elected to continue such Offshore Currency Loans for a one-month Interest Period. 
  
 (d) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Bank of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation or, if no
timely notice is provided by the Company, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Bank of the details of any automatic conversion or continuation. All conversions and continuations shall be made ratably according to the respective
outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans with respect to which the notice was given held by each Bank. 
  
 (e) Unless the Required Banks otherwise consent, during the existence of a Default or Event of Default, the Company may not elect to have (i) a Revolving
Loan in Dollars converted into or continued as an Offshore Rate Loan or (ii) an Offshore Currency Loan continued for an Interest Period exceeding one month. 
  
 (f) After giving effect to any conversion or continuation of Revolving Loans, unless the Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent, there may not be
more than 12 different Interest Periods in effect in the aggregate for all Revolving Loans. 
  

 23 

 2.05 Utilization of Commitments in Offshore Currencies. 
  
 (a) The Administrative Agent will determine the Dollar Equivalent amount of
any (i) Borrowing comprised of Offshore Currency Loans as of the requested Borrowing Date, (ii) outstanding Offshore Currency Loans and L/C Obligations denominated in a currency other than Dollars as of the last Business Day of each month and (iii)
outstanding Offshore Currency Loans and L/C Obligations denominated in a currency other than Dollars as of any redenomination date pursuant to this Section 2.05 or Section 4.05 (each such date under clauses (i) through
(iii), a “Computation Date”). 
  
 (b) In
the case of a proposed Borrowing comprised of Offshore Currency Loans, the Banks shall be under no obligation to make Offshore Currency Loans in the requested Offshore Currency as part of such Borrowing if the Administrative Agent has received
notice from any of the Banks by 5:00 p.m. four Business Days prior to the day of such Borrowing that such Bank cannot provide Revolving Loans in the requested Offshore Currency, in which event the Administrative Agent will give notice to the Company
no later than 12:00 noon on the third Business Day prior to the requested date of such Borrowing that the Borrowing in the requested Offshore Currency is not then available, and notice thereof also will be given promptly by the Administrative Agent
to the Banks. If the Administrative Agent shall have so notified the Company that any such Borrowing in a requested Offshore Currency is not then available, the Company may, by notice to the Administrative Agent not later than 5:00 p.m. two Business
Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, withdraw the Notice of Borrowing relating to such requested Borrowing. If the Company does so withdraw such Notice of Borrowing, the Borrowing requested therein shall not occur and the
Administrative Agent will promptly so notify each Bank. If the Company does not so withdraw such Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify each Bank and such Notice of Borrowing shall be deemed to be a Notice of Borrowing
that requests a Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of the originally requested Borrowing as expressed in Dollars in the Notice of Borrowing; and in such notice by the Administrative Agent to each Bank
the Administrative Agent will state such aggregate amount of such Borrowing in Dollars and such Bank’s Pro Rata Share thereof. 
  
 (c) In the case of a proposed continuation of Offshore Currency Loans for an additional Interest Period pursuant to Section 2.04, the Banks shall
be under no obligation to continue such Offshore Currency Loans if the Administrative Agent has received notice from any of the Banks by 5:00 p.m. four Business Days prior to the day of such continuation that such Bank cannot continue to provide
Revolving Loans in the relevant Offshore Currency, in which event the Administrative Agent will give notice to the Company not later than 12:00 noon on the third Business Day prior to the requested date of such continuation that the continuation of
such Offshore Currency Loans in the relevant Offshore Currency is not then available, and notice thereof also will be given promptly by the Administrative Agent to the Banks. If the Administrative Agent shall have so notified the Company that any
such continuation of Offshore Currency Loans is not then available, any Notice of Continuation/Conversion with respect thereto shall be deemed withdrawn and such Offshore Currency Loans shall be redenominated and converted into Base Rate Loans in
Dollars on the last day of the Interest Period with respect to any such Offshore Currency Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Banks of any such redenomination and conversion and in such notice by the 

  

 24 

 
Administrative Agent to each Bank the Administrative Agent will state the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of the redenominated and converted Offshore
Currency Loans as of the Computation Date with respect thereto and such Bank’s Pro Rata Share thereof. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, upon the request of the Required Banks, all
or any part of any outstanding Offshore Currency Loans shall be redenominated and converted into Base Rate Loans in Dollars on the last day of the Interest Period with respect to any such Offshore Currency Loans. The Administrative Agent will
promptly notify the Company of any such request to redenominate and convert Offshore Currency Loans. 
  
 (e) The Company may request that, in addition to Revolving Loans made in Dollars and Euros, Revolving Loans hereunder also be permitted to be made in any
other lawful currency that in the opinion of the Required Banks is at such time freely traded in the offshore interbank foreign exchange markets and is freely transferable and freely convertible into Dollars (an “Agreed Alternative
Currency”). The Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any request for designation of an Agreed Alternative Currency in accordance with Section 11.02, to be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon at
least 10 Business Days in advance of the date of any Borrowing hereunder proposed to be made in such Agreed Alternative Currency. Upon receipt of any such request the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Banks thereof, and each Bank will
use its best efforts to respond to such request within two Business Days of receipt thereof. Each Bank may grant or accept such request in its sole discretion. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company of the acceptance or rejection
of any such request. 
  
 2.06 The Swing Line Facility.

  
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Swing Line Bank agrees to make loans in Dollars (each a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Company from time to time on any Business Day prior to the Credit Termination Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the
amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Pro Rata Share of the Dollar Equivalent amount of Revolving Loans and the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations of the Bank acting as
Swing Line Bank, may exceed the amount of such Bank’s Commitment; provided that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the combined Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Revolving Loans of any Bank, plus such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Swing Line Loans
shall not exceed such Bank’s Commitment, and provided that the Company shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions
hereof, the Company may borrow under this Section 2.06, prepay under Section 2.08, and reborrow under this Section 2.06. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Bank shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Bank a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Bank’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Swing Line Loan. 
  

 25 

 (b) Each Swing Line Loan shall be made upon the Company’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Bank
and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be
borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Bank and the Administrative Agent of a written
Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Bank of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Bank will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone
or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Bank will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Bank has
received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Bank) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Loan (A) directing the Swing Line Bank not to make such Swing Line Loan as a
result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of subsection 2.06(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article V is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Swing Line Bank will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Company at its office by crediting the account of the
Company on the books of the Swing Line Bank in immediately available funds. 
  
 (c) (i) The Swing Line Bank at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Company (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Bank to so request on its behalf), that each Bank
make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Notice of Borrowing for purposes
hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.03, without regard to the Minimum Tranche requirements, but subject to the unutilized portion of the combined Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 5.02. The
Swing Line Bank shall furnish the Company with a copy of the applicable Notice of Borrowing promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Bank shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such
Notice of Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Bank at the Payment Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Notice of Borrowing, whereupon, subject to
subsection 2.06(c)(ii), each Bank 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 Swing Line Bank. 
  
 (ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be
refinanced by a Borrowing in accordance with subsection 2.06(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Bank as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Bank that each of the Banks fund its
risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Bank’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Bank pursuant to subsection 2.06(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

  

 26 

 (iii) If any Bank fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Swing Line Bank any amount required to be paid by such Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection 2.06(c) by the time specified in subsection 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Bank shall be entitled to recover from such
Bank (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 Swing Line Bank at a rate per annum
equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the Swing Line Bank submitted to any Bank (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. 
  
 (iv) Each Bank’s
obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this subsection 2.06(c) 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 Bank may have against the Swing Line Bank, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or (C)
any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Bank’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this subsection 2.06(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 5.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Company to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein. 
  
 (d) (i) At any time after any Bank has purchased and funded a risk
participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Bank receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Bank will distribute to such Bank its Pro Rata Share of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest
payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Bank’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Bank. 
  
 (ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Bank in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line
Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Bank under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Bank in its discretion), each Bank shall pay to the Swing
Line Bank its 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, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will
make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Bank. 
  
 (e)
The Swing Line Bank shall be responsible for invoicing the Company for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Bank funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.06 to refinance such Bank’s Pro Rata Share
of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Bank. 
  
 (f) The Company shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Bank. 
  

 27 

 2.07 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. 
  
 (a) The Company may from time to time, upon not less than five Business
Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Commitments, or permanently reduce the amount of the combined Commitments by an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any higher integral multiple of $1,000,000; provided that the
amount of the combined Commitments may not be reduced to an amount less than the Total Outstandings. 
  
 (b) Any reduction of the combined Commitments shall reduce the amount of the Commitment of each Bank according to its Pro Rata Share. All accrued
Commitment Fees to the effective date of any reduction or termination of Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such reduction or termination. 
  
 2.08 Prepayments. 
  
 (a) The Company may, at any time or from time to time, upon irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent as described below, voluntarily prepay
Revolving Loans in whole or in part, in an aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of $5,000,000 or any higher integral multiple of 1,000,000 units of the Applicable Currency; provided that the Company may, within 30 days after each funding of
participations in a Swing Line Loan pursuant to subsection 2.06(c) or in L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 3.03, make a prepayment of Base Rate Loans in an amount that will cause the aggregate principal amount of all Base Rate Loans
to be (i) zero or (ii) $5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000. The Company shall deliver a notice of voluntary prepayment in accordance with Section 11.02 to be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 10:30 a.m.
(a) at least three Business Days in advance of the prepayment date if the Loans to be prepaid are Offshore Currency Loans, (b) at least two Business Days in advance of the prepayment date if the Loans to be prepaid are Offshore Rate Loans in
Dollars, and (c) on the prepayment date if the Loans to be prepaid are Base Rate Loans. 
  
 (b) On each date on which the amount of the combined Commitments is reduced pursuant to subsection 2.07(a), the Company shall prepay Revolving Loans (or, if all Loans have been paid, Cash Collateralize Letters
of Credit) in the amount necessary (if any) so that the Total Outstandings (excluding any undrawn L/C Obligations to the extent Cash Collateralized) will not exceed the amount of the combined Commitments as reduced on such date. 
  
 (c) The Company may, upon notice to the Swing Line Bank (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Bank and the Administrative Agent not later
than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Company, the Company
shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. 
  
 (d) The Company shall specify, in each notice of voluntary prepayment pursuant to subsection 2.08(a) or in a prepayment notice delivered prior to
or concurrently with 

  

 28 

 
any mandatory prepayment pursuant to subsection 2.08(b), the date and amount of such prepayment and whether such prepayment is of Base Rate Loans or
Offshore Rate Loans, or any combination thereof, and the Applicable Currency. No such notice shall be revocable by the Company. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Bank of any notice of prepayment and of such Bank’s Pro Rata
Share of such prepayment. Each prepayment of an Offshore Rate Loan shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of prepayment on the amount prepaid and any amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.04 as a result of such
prepayment. 
  
 2.09 Currency Exchange Fluctuations.
Subject to Section 4.04, if on any Computation Date the Administrative Agent shall have determined that the Total Outstandings exceed the combined Commitments by a Dollar Equivalent amount of more than $2,000,000, due to a change in
applicable rates of exchange between Dollars and Offshore Currencies, then the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Company that a prepayment is required under this Section 2.08, and the Company agrees thereupon to make prepayments
of Revolving Loans within one Business Day of such notice such that, after giving effect to such prepayment the Total Outstandings do not exceed the combined Commitments. 
  
 2.10 Repayment. 
  
 (a) The Company shall repay to the Banks on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding on such date. 

 
 (b) The Company shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur
of (i) the date 20 Business Days after such Loan is made and (ii) the Maturity Date. 
  
 2.11 Interest. 
  
 (a)
Each Revolving 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 Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate; and (ii) in the case of an Offshore Rate Loan,
the Offshore Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date on which such Loan is made at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate or such other rate as may
be agreed between the Company and the Swing Line Bank (provided that upon a deemed request for funding of participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to subsection 2.06(c)(ii), all Swing Line Loans shall bear interest at the rate then
applicable to Base Rate Loans). 
  
 (b) Interest on each Loan
shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date. Interest shall also be paid on the date of any payment or prepayment of Offshore Rate Loans under Section 2.08, for the portion of the Loans so prepaid and upon
payment (including prepayment) in full thereof and, during the existence of any Event of Default, interest shall also be paid on demand of the Administrative Agent at the request or with the consent of the Required Banks. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding subsections 2.11(a) and 3.03(d), while any
Event of Default exists, for the period commencing after the Company’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent at the request, or with the consent, of the Required Banks or after 

  

 29 

 
acceleration, the Company shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the principal amount of
all outstanding Loans and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all other Obligations, at a rate per annum which is determined by adding 2% per annum to the otherwise applicable interest rate for such Loans or, in the case of other
Obligations, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2%; provided that, on and after the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Offshore Rate Loan outstanding on the date of occurrence of such Event of Default for the
period commencing after the Company’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent at the request, or with the consent, of the Required Banks or acceleration, the principal amount of such Loan shall, during the continuation of such Event of
Default or after acceleration, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2%. 
  
 (d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Obligations of the Company to any Bank 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 Bank would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable
to such Bank limiting the highest rate of interest that may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Bank, and in such event the Company shall pay such Bank interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law. 
  
 2.12 Fees. 
  
 (a) Arrangement, Agency Fees. The Company shall pay an arrangement
fee to the Arranger for the Arranger’s own account, and shall pay an agency fee to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent’s own account, as required by the letter agreement (“Fee Letter”) between the Company
and the Arranger and Administrative Agent dated May 6, 2004. 
  
 (b) Commitment Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Banks in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) at a per annum rate
equal to the Commitment Fee Rate multiplied by the actual daily amount by which the combined Commitments exceed the sum of the aggregate principal Dollar Equivalent Amount of all Revolving Loans plus the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations. The
Commitment Fee shall accrue from the Closing Date until the Credit Termination Date, including at any time during which one or more conditions in Article V are not met. The Commitment Fee shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the
last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on June 30, 2004, and on the Credit Termination Date; provided that, in connection with any reduction or termination of Commitments pursuant to Section 2.07, the
accrued Commitment Fee calculated for the period ending on such date shall also be paid on 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 such quarterly payment date. 
  
 (c)
Upfront Fees. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank a participation fee in the amount previously agreed among the Company, the Administrative Agent and such Bank. 
  

 30 

 2.13 Computation of Interest and Fees. 
  
 (a) All computations of interest on Swing Line Loans and Base Rate Loans
when the Base Rate is computed by reference to Bank of America’s “prime rate,” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All computations of interest on Offshore Rate Loans
and of fees shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest and fees being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which
interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to the last day thereof. 
  
 (b) Each determination of an interest rate or a Dollar Equivalent amount by the Administrative Agent shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence thereof in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent will, at
the request of the Company or any Bank, promptly deliver to the Company or such Bank, as the case may be, a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate or Dollar Equivalent amount. 

 
 2.14 Payments by the Company. 
  
 (a) All payments to be made by the Company shall be made without set-off,
recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Company shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks at the Payment Office, and, with respect to principal of, interest on, and
any other amounts relating to, any Offshore Currency Loan, shall be made in the Offshore Currency in which such Loan is denominated or payable, and, with respect to all other amounts payable hereunder, shall be made in Dollars. Such payments shall
be made in Same Day Funds, and (i) in the case of Offshore Currency payments, no later than such time on the dates specified herein as may be determined by the Administrative Agent to be necessary for such payment to be credited on such date in
accordance with normal banking procedures in the place of payment, (ii) in the case of any payment with respect to Swing Line Loans, no later than 1:00 pm on the date specified herein, and (iii) in the case of any other Dollar payment, no later than
12:00 noon on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as expressly provided herein) of such principal, interest, fees or other amounts, in like funds as
received. Any payment which is received by the Administrative Agent later than 12:00 noon, or later than the time specified by the Administrative Agent as provided in clause (i) above (in the case of Offshore Currency payments), shall be
deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. 
  
 (b) Whenever any payment is due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the following 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. 
  
 (c) Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from the Company prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks that the Company will not make such payment in full as and when required, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Company has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date in Same Day Funds and 

  

 31 

 
the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to
the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent the Company has not made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Bank, together with interest
thereon at the Federal Funds Rate or, in the case of a payment in an Offshore Currency, the Overnight Rate, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date repaid. 
  
 2.15 Payments by the Banks to the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (a) Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from a Bank on or prior
to the Closing Date or, with respect to any Borrowing after the Closing Date, at least one Business Day prior to the date of such Borrowing, that such Bank will not make available as and when required hereunder to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Company the amount of that Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that each Bank has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day 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 Company on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent any Bank shall not have made its full amount available to the
Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds and the Administrative Agent in such circumstances has made available to the Company such amount, that Bank shall on the Business Day following such Borrowing Date make such amount available to the
Administrative Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate or, in the case of any Borrowing consisting of Offshore Currency Loans, the Overnight Rate, for each day during such period. A notice of the Administrative Agent submitted to any
Bank with respect to amounts owing under this subsection 2.15(a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to the Administrative Agent shall constitute such Bank’s Loan on the date of
Borrowing 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 Company of such failure to fund and, upon
demand by the Administrative Agent, the Company shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum
equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Revolving Loans comprising such Borrowing. 
  
 (b) The failure of any Bank to make any Revolving Loan on any Borrowing Date shall not relieve any other Bank of any obligation hereunder to make a
Revolving Loan on such Borrowing Date, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make the Revolving Loan to be made by such other Bank on any Borrowing Date. 
  
 2.16 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Bank shall obtain on
account of its Revolving Loans or its participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) in excess of its Pro Rata Share (or other share
contemplated hereunder) of payments to all Banks on account of all Revolving Loans, L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans, such Bank shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase from the other Banks such
participations (or subparticipations) in the Revolving 

  

 32 

 
Loans and the L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment pro rata with each of
them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Bank, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Bank shall repay to the purchasing Bank the purchase price paid
therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Bank’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Bank’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Bank) of any
interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Company agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation (or subparticipation) from another Bank may, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 11.10) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of the Company in the amount of such participation.
The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations (and subparticipations) purchased under this Section 2.16 and will in each case notify the Banks following
any such purchases or repayments.

 3.01 The Letter of Credit Subfacility. 
  
 (a) On the terms and conditions set forth herein (i) the Issuing Bank
agrees, (A) from time to time on any Business Day, during the period from the Closing Date to the date which is seven days prior to the scheduled Credit Termination Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Company, and to amend or
renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsections 3.02(c) and 3.02(d), and (B) to honor drafts under outstanding Letters of Credit; and (ii) the Banks severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit
Issued for the account of the Company; provided that the Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to Issue, and no Bank shall be obligated to participate in, any Letter of Credit if as of the date of Issuance of such Letter of Credit (the
“Issuance Date”) and after giving effect thereto: (A) the Total Outstandings exceed the combined Commitments; (B) the participation of any Bank in the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations and in all Swing Line Loans plus the
outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans of such Bank would exceed such Bank’s Commitment; or (C) the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other
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 which have expired or
which have been drawn upon and reimbursed. 
  
 (b) The Issuing
Bank shall be under no 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 Issuing Bank from Issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable
to the Issuing Bank or any request of directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental 

  

 33 

 
Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the Issuance of letters of credit generally
or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on
the date of this Agreement, or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the date of this Agreement and which the Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it and for which the Issuing
Bank is not compensated hereunder. 
  
 (ii) the
Issuing Bank has received written notice from any Bank, the Administrative Agent or the Company, 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 Article V is not then satisfied; 
  
 (iii) the expiry date of any requested Letter of Credit is (A) more than two years after the date of Issuance, unless the Required Banks and the Issuing Bank have approved such expiry date in writing, or (B) after the date which is seven
days prior to the scheduled Maturity Date; 
  
 (iv) any requested Letter of Credit is not in a form reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank, or the Issuance of a Letter of Credit shall violate any applicable policies of the Issuing Bank; 
  
 (v) such Letter of Credit is in a face amount less than
$1,000,000 (or such lesser amount acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank), or to be denominated in a currency other than an Applicable Currency; or 
  
 (vi) a default of any Bank’s obligations to fund under Section 3.03 exists or any Bank is at
such time a Defaulting Bank, unless the Issuing Bank has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Company or such Bank to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to such Bank. 
  
 3.02 Issuance, Amendment and Renewal of Letters of Credit. 

 
 (a) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon the irrevocable written
request of the Company received by the Issuing Bank (with a copy sent by the Company to the Administrative Agent) at least three Business Days (or such shorter time as the Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior
to the proposed date of issuance. Each such request for issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be by facsimile or electronic transmission, confirmed immediately in an original writing, in the form of an L/C Application, and shall specify in form and
detail satisfactory to the Issuing Bank: (i) the proposed date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) the face amount and Applicable Currency of such Letter of Credit; (iii) the expiry date of such Letter of
Credit; (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (v) the documents to be presented by the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit in case of any drawing thereunder; (vi) the full text of any certificate to be presented by the beneficiary
in case of any drawing thereunder; and (vii) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may reasonably require. 
  

 34 

 (b) If Bank of America is not the Issuing Bank, by 12:00 noon on the Business Day next preceding the
requested date of issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of the L/C Application or L/C Amendment Application from the
Company and, if not, the Issuing Bank will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the Issuing Bank has received notice on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the date the Issuing Bank is to issue a requested Letter
of Credit from the Administrative Agent (i) directing the Issuing Bank not to issue such Letter of Credit because such issuance is not then permitted under subsection 3.01(a)(ii) as a result of the limitations set forth in clause (A),
(B) or (C) thereof or subsection 3.01(b)(ii); or (ii) that one or more conditions specified in Article V are not then satisfied; then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank shall, on the requested
date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Company in accordance with the Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices. 
  
 (c) From time to time while a Letter of Credit is outstanding and prior to the Credit Termination Date, the Issuing Bank will, upon the written request of
the Company received by the Issuing Bank (with a copy sent by the Company to the Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days (or such shorter time as the Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the
proposed date of amendment, amend any Letter of Credit issued by it. Each such request for amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be made by facsimile, confirmed immediately in an original writing, made in the form of an L/C Amendment Application and
shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Issuing Bank: (i) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (ii) the proposed date of amendment of the Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the nature of the proposed amendment; and
(iv) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may reasonably require. The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if: (A) the Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its
amended form under the terms of this Agreement; or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit. 
  

(d) The Issuing Bank and the Banks agree that, while a Letter of Credit is outstanding and prior to the Credit Termination Date, at the option of the
Company and upon the written request of the Company received by the Issuing Bank (with a copy sent by the Company to the Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days (or such shorter time as the Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in
its sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of notification of renewal, the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to authorize the automatic renewal of such Letter of Credit; provided that the Issuing Bank shall not be entitled to authorize such
automatic renewal if, at least one Business Day prior to the proposed date of notification of renewal, it shall have received notice from the Administrative Agent (i) directing the Issuing Bank not to renew such Letter of Credit because such renewal
is not then permitted under subsection 3.01(a)(ii) as a result of the limitations set forth in clause (A), (B) or (C) thereof or subsection 3.01(b)(ii); or (ii) that one or more conditions specified in Article
V are not then satisfied. Each such request for renewal of a Letter of Credit shall be made by facsimile transmission, confirmed immediately in an original writing, in the form of an L/C Amendment Application, and shall specify in form and
detail satisfactory to the Issuing Bank: (I) the Letter of Credit to be renewed; (II) the proposed date of notification of renewal of such Letter of Credit 

  

 35 

 
(which shall be a Business Day); (III) the revised expiry date of such Letter of Credit; and (IV) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may require. The
Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to renew, and no Bank shall be obligated to participate in, any Letter of Credit if: (A) the Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue or amend, and no Bank would be obligated to
participate in, such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms of this Agreement; or (B) the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed renewal of such Letter of Credit. If any outstanding Letter of Credit shall
provide that it shall be automatically renewed unless the beneficiary thereof receives notice from the Issuing Bank that such Letter of Credit shall not be renewed, and if at the time of renewal the Issuing Bank would be required to authorize the
automatic renewal of such Letter of Credit in accordance with this subsection 3.02(d) upon the request of the Company but the Issuing Bank shall not have received any L/C Amendment Application from the Company with respect to such renewal or
other written direction by the Company with respect thereto, the Issuing Bank shall nonetheless renew such Letter of Credit, and the Company and the Banks hereby authorize such renewal, and, accordingly, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have
received an L/C Amendment Application from the Company requesting such renewal. 
  
 (e) The Issuing Bank may, at its election (or as required by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Banks), deliver any notice of termination or other communication to any Letter of Credit
beneficiary or transferee, and take any other action as necessary or appropriate, at any time and from time to time, in order to cause the expiry date of such Letter of Credit to be a date not later than seven days prior to the scheduled Credit
Termination Date. 
  
 (f) This Agreement shall control in the
event of any conflict with any L/C- Related Document (other than any Letter of Credit). In addition, unless the Company and the Issuing Bank shall otherwise expressly agree in writing, any purported grant of (or requirement to grant) a Lien
contained in any L/C Related Document shall be ineffective and null and void. 
  
 (g) The Issuing Bank will deliver to the Administrative Agent, concurrently or promptly following its delivery of a Letter of Credit, or amendment to or renewal of a Letter of Credit, to an advising bank or a
beneficiary, a true and complete copy of each such Letter of Credit or amendment to or renewal of a Letter of Credit. 
  
 (h) Within five Business Days after the end of each month, the Administrative Agent will send to the Company and each Bank a statement reflecting the
outstanding Letters of Credit as of the end of such month. 
  
 3.03 Risk Participations, Drawings and Reimbursements. 
  
 (a) Immediately upon the Issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Bank shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing
thereunder in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Pro Rata Share of such Bank, times (ii) the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively. For purposes of Section 2.01,
each Issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to utilize the Commitment of each Bank by an amount equal to the amount of such participation for so long as any related L/C Obligations shall be outstanding. 
  

 36 

 (b) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee
thereof, the Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent. If the Company receives notice of a drawing under a Letter of Credit prior to 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day on which such drawing is honored by the Issuing
Bank (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Company shall reimburse the Issuing Bank prior to 12:00 noon on the Honor Date for the amount paid by the Issuing Bank in respect of such drawing. If the Company receives notice of a
drawing under a Letter of Credit at or after 10 a.m. 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 Issuing Bank shall accrue for the account of the
Issuing Bank 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 Issuing Bank shall agree)). If the Company fails to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the
full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 noon on the date required pursuant to the two preceding sentences, the Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each
Bank thereof, and the Company shall be deemed to have requested that Base Rate Loans be made by the Banks to be disbursed on such date in payment of the Company’s reimbursement obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit, subject to the
amount of the unutilized portion of the Commitments and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02, other than any notice requirement (and without regard to the Minimum Tranche). Any notice given by the Issuing Bank or the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection 3.03(b) may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing (including by facsimile transmission); provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the
conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 
  
 (c) Each Bank
shall upon any notice pursuant to subsection 3.03(b) make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount of the drawing, whereupon
the participating Banks shall (subject to subsection 3.03(d)) each be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Company in that amount. If any Bank so notified fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Issuing Bank the amount of such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m. on the applicable date, then interest shall accrue on such Bank’s obligation to make such payment, from such date to the date such Bank makes
such payment, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time during such period. The Administrative Agent will promptly give notice of the occurrence of each Honor Date, but failure of the Administrative Agent to
give any such notice on an Honor Date or in sufficient time to enable any Bank to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Bank from its obligations under this Section 3.03. 
  
 (d) With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Base
Rate Loans to the Company in whole or in part as contemplated by subsection 3.03(b), because of the Company’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 other than any notice requirements or for any other reason,
the Company shall be deemed to have incurred from the Issuing Bank an L/C Borrowing in the amount of such drawing, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at a rate per annum 

  

 37 

 
equal to the Base Rate plus 2% per annum, and each Bank’s payment to the Issuing Bank pursuant to subsection 3.03(c) shall be deemed payment in
respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Bank in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 3.03. 
  
 (e) Each Bank’s obligation to make Base Rate Loans or L/C Advances as contemplated by this Section 3.03 as a
result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute and unconditional and without recourse to the Issuing Bank and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which such Bank may have against the Issuing Bank, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, an Event of Default or a Material Adverse Effect; or (iii) any other circumstance,
happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Bank’s obligation to make Base Rate Loans (but not L/C Advances) under this Section 3.03 is subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 5.02. 
  
 3.04 Repayment of Participations.

  
 (a) Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Issuing Bank of immediately available funds from the Company (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by the Issuing Bank under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Bank has paid the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Issuing Bank for such Bank’s participation in the Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 3.03 or (ii) in payment of interest thereon, the Administrative Agent will pay to each Bank, in the same funds as those received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank, the amount of such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such funds, and the Issuing Bank shall receive the amount of the Pro Rata Share of such funds of any Bank that did not so pay the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank. 
  
 (b)
If the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank is required at any time to return to the Company, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any portion of the payments made by the Company to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank pursuant to subsection 3.04(a) in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each Bank shall, on demand of the Administrative Agent,
forthwith return to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank the amount of its Pro Rata Share of all amounts so returned by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such
amounts are returned by such Bank to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time. 
  
 3.05 Role of the Issuing Bank. 
  
 (a) Each Bank and the Company agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall not have
any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft and certificates expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such
document. 
  

 38 

 (b) No Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the
Issuing Bank shall be liable to any Bank for: (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Banks (including the Required Banks, as applicable); (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 L/C-Related Document. 
  
 (c) 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. No Agent-Related Person,
nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuing Bank, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (a) through (g) of Section 3.06; provided that anything
in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may have a claim against the Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank may be liable to the Company, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or
exemplary, damages suffered by 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 Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the
Issuing Bank’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: (i) the Issuing Bank 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 (ii) the Issuing Bank
shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign such 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. 
  
 3.06
Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement and any L/C-Related Document to reimburse the Issuing Bank for a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and to repay any L/C Borrowing and any drawing under a Letter of
Credit converted into Base Rate Loans, shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each such other L/C-Related Document under all circumstances, including the following:

  
 (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement
or any L/C-Related 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 L/C-Related Documents;

  
 (c) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other
right that the Company may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in
connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by the L/C-Related Documents or any unrelated transaction; 
  

 39 

 (d) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under any 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 any Letter
of Credit; 
  
 (e) any payment by the Issuing Bank under any
Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of any Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the Issuing Bank under any 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 any Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any
Insolvency Proceeding; 
  
 (f) any exchange, release or
non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guarantee, for all or any of the obligations of the Company in respect of any Letter of Credit; or 
  
 (g) 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 or a guarantor. 
  
 3.07 Letter of Credit Fees. 
  
 (a) The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Banks in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, a letter of
credit fee, in Dollars, with respect to the Letters of Credit equal to the L/C Fee Rate times the average daily maximum Dollar Equivalent amount available to be drawn on the outstanding Letters of Credit, computed on a quarterly basis in arrears on
the last Business Day of each calendar quarter based upon Letters of Credit outstanding for that quarter as calculated by the Administrative Agent. Such letter of credit fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of
each calendar quarter during which Letters of Credit are outstanding, commencing on the first such quarterly date to occur after the Closing Date, through the Maturity Date (or such later date upon which all Letters of Credit have terminated), with
the final payment to be made on the Maturity Date (or such later termination date). 
  
 (b) The Company shall pay to the Issuing Bank a letter of credit fronting fee, in Dollars, for each Letter of Credit Issued by the Issuing Bank at the times and in the amounts agreed to from time to time between the
Company and the Issuing Bank. 
  
 (c) The Company shall pay to the
Issuing Bank from time to time on demand the Issuing Bank’s normal issuance, presentation, amendment negotiation, and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the Issuing Bank relating to letters of credit as from time to
time in effect. 
  

 40 

 3.08 Applicability of ISP98. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Company
when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance)
shall apply to each Letter of Credit. 
  
 ARTICLE IV

  
 TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 

 
 4.01 Taxes. 
  
 (a) Any and all payments by the Company to each Bank or the Administrative
Agent under this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes. In addition, the Company shall pay all Other Taxes. 
  
 (b) If the Company shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes,
Other Taxes or Further Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Bank 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 4.01), such Bank 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)
the Company shall make such deductions and withholdings; 
  
 (iii) the Company shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law; and 
  
 (iv) the Company shall also pay to each Bank or the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank, at the time interest is paid, Further Taxes in the amount that the respective Bank specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield such Bank would have received if such Taxes, Other Taxes or
Further Taxes had not been imposed. 
  
 (c) The Company agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless each Bank and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of (i) Taxes, (ii) Other Taxes, and (iii) Further Taxes in the amount that the respective Bank specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield such Bank
would have received if such Taxes, Other Taxes or Further 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, Other Taxes
or Further Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Payment under this subsection (c) shall be made within 30 days after the date the applicable Bank or the Administrative Agent makes written demand therefor. 
  

 41 

 (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment by the Company of Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes,
the Company shall furnish to each Bank or the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to such Bank or the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (e) If the Company is required to pay any amount to any Bank or the
Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 4.01(b) or (c), then such Bank shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office so as to eliminate any such
additional payment by the Company which may thereafter accrue, if such change in the [sole] judgment of such Bank is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. 
  

4.02 Illegality. 
  
 (a) (a) If any Bank determines that the introduction after the date hereof of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the
interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Bank or its applicable Lending Office to make Offshore Rate Loans
(including Offshore Rate Loans in any Applicable Currency), then, on notice thereof by such Bank to the Company through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of that Bank to make Offshore Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Bank notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, at which time such Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Company and such Bank’s obligation to make Offshore Rate Loans
shall be reinstated. 
  
 (b) If a Bank determines that it is
unlawful to maintain any Offshore Rate Loan, the Company shall, upon its receipt of notice of such fact and demand from such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay in full such Offshore Rate Loans of such Bank then outstanding,
together with interest accrued thereon and amounts required under Section 4.04 either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if such Bank may lawfully continue to maintain such Offshore Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such
Bank may not lawfully continue to maintain such Offshore Rate Loan. If the Company is required to so prepay any Offshore Rate Loan, then concurrently with such prepayment, the Company shall (without regard whether the conditions specified in
Section 5.02 have been satisfied) borrow from the affected Bank, in the amount of such repayment, a Base Rate Loan. 
  
 (c) Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent under this Section 4.02, the affected Bank shall designate a different Lending Office with
respect to its Offshore Rate Loans if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be illegal or otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. 
  
 4.03 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return. 
  
 (a) If any Bank determines that, due to either (i) the introduction of or
any change (other than any change by way of imposition of or increase in reserve requirements 

  

 42 

 
included in the calculation of the Offshore Rate) in the interpretation of any law or regulation after the date of this Agreement or (ii) the compliance by
that Bank with any guideline or request from any central Bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Bank of agreeing to make or
making, funding or maintaining any Offshore Rate Loans or participating in Letters of Credit, or, in the case of the Issuing Bank, any increase in the cost to the Issuing Bank of agreeing to issue, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or of
agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any unpaid drawing under any Letter of Credit, then the Company shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, within 10 days after demand in compliance with Section 4.07 (with a copy of
such demand to be sent to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Bank for such increased costs. 
  
 (b) If any Bank 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 Bank (or its Lending Office) or any corporation controlling such Bank with any Capital Adequacy Regulation, in any such case, after the date of this Agreement affects or would
affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank and (taking into consideration such Bank’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such
Bank’s desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitment, loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, within 10 days after demand in compliance with Section
4.07 of such Bank to the Company through the Administrative Agent, the Company shall pay to such Bank, from time to time as specified by such Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank for such increase. 
  
 4.04 Funding Losses. The Company shall reimburse each Bank and hold
each Bank harmless from any loss or expense which such Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of: 
  
 (a) the failure of the Company to make on a timely basis any payment of principal of any Offshore Rate Loan; 
  
 (b) the failure of the Company to borrow, continue or convert a Revolving
Loan after the Company has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation except as set forth in subsection 2.05(b) or (c); 
  
 (c) the failure of the Company to make any prepayment of any Loan in accordance with any notice delivered under Section
2.08; 
  
 (d) the prepayment (including pursuant to Section
2.08 or 2.09) or other payment (including after acceleration thereof) of an Offshore Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period; or 
  
 (e) the automatic conversion under Section 2.04 of any Offshore Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not
the last day of the relevant Interest Period; 

  

 43 

 
including any foreign exchange loss or any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its Offshore Rate
Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from charges relating to any Offshore Currency Loans. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Company to the Banks under this Section 4.04
and under subsection 4.03(a), each Offshore Rate Loan made by a Bank (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded at the LIBOR used in determining the Offshore Rate for
such Offshore Rate Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the interbank market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Offshore Rate Loan is in fact so funded. 
  
 4.05 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Administrative Agent
determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Offshore Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Offshore Rate Loan, or that the Offshore Rate applicable pursuant to
subsection 2.11(a) for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Offshore Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Banks of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company
and each Bank. Thereafter, the obligation of the Banks to make or maintain Offshore Rate Loans hereunder shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent upon the instruction of the Required Banks revokes such notice in writing. Upon receipt of
such notice, the Company may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation then submitted by it. If the Company does not revoke such Notice, the Banks shall make, convert or continue the Revolving Loans, as proposed by the
Company, in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by the Company, but such Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans instead of Offshore Rate Loans. In the case of any Offshore Currency Loans, the Borrowing or
continuation shall be in an aggregate amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent amount of the originally requested Borrowing or continuation in the Offshore Currency, and to that end any outstanding Offshore Currency Loans which are the subject of any
continuation shall be redenominated and converted into Base Rate Loans in Dollars with effect from the last day of the Interest Period with respect to any such Offshore Currency Loans. 
  
 4.06 Reserves on Offshore Rate Loans. The Company shall pay to each Bank, in respect of any Offshore Currency Loans,
additional costs arising under any applicable regulations of the central bank or other relevant Governmental Authority on the unpaid principal amount of each Offshore Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by
such Bank (as determined by such Bank in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Company shall have received at least 15 days’ prior written notice (with
a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Bank. If a Bank fails to give notice 15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be payable 15 days from receipt of such notice.

  
 4.07 Certificates of Banks. Any Bank or Participant
claiming reimbursement or compensation under this Article IV shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for, and a calculation of, the amount payable to
such Bank or Participant hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Company in the absence of manifest error. In 

  

 44 

 
determining such amount, the Administrative Agent or such Bank or Participant may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no amounts shall be payable by the Company pursuant to Section 4.03, 4.04 or 4.06 with respect to any period commencing more than 180 days before the delivery of the
certificate contemplated by this Section 4.07 unless such amounts are claimed as a result of the retroactive effect of any newly enacted or adopted law, rule or regulation and such certificate is delivered within 180 days after such enactment
or adoption. 
  
 4.08 Substitution of Banks. Upon the
receipt by the Company from any Bank (an “Affected Bank”) of a claim for compensation under Section 4.01 or 4.03 or a notice of the type described in Section 4.02, the Company may: (i) request one or more of the other
Banks to acquire and assume all or part of such Affected Bank’s Loans, Commitment and participations in Letters of Credit; and/or (ii) designate a replacement bank or financial institution satisfactory to the Company to acquire and assume all
or a ratable part of all of such Affected Bank’s Loans, Commitment and participations in Letters of Credit (a “Replacement Bank”). Any such designation of a Replacement Bank under clause (ii) shall be subject to the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and any such substitution shall in any event be effective upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 11.08. 

 
 4.09 Survival. The agreements and obligations of the Company in
this Article IV shall survive the payment of all other Obligations.

period of 30 days after the entry thereof. 
  
 (j) Change of

 9.02 Remedies. 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 Banks, 
  
 (a) declare
the commitment of each Bank to make Loans and to issue and participate in Letters of Credit and the obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit to be terminated, whereupon such commitments and obligations 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 the Company; and 
  
 (c) exercise on
behalf of itself and the Banks all rights and remedies available to it and the Banks under the Loan Documents or applicable law; 
  
 provided that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default specified in subsection 9.01(f) or (g) with respect to the
Company, the obligation of each Bank to make Loans and the obligation of any Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit shall automatically terminate and the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as
aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Bank. In addition, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, so long as any Letter of Credit has not been
fully drawn and has not been cancelled or expired by its terms, upon demand by the Administrative Agent or the request of the Required Banks (or automatically upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in subsection 9.01 (f) or
(g)), the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent cash collateral in an amount equal to the aggregate undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit and any fees which may be payable in connection with drawings thereon (it being understood
that, in determining such amount, no credit shall be given for any cash collateral to the extent it is 

  

 63 

 
required to be shared with any Person other than the Agent and the Banks pursuant to an “equal and ratable” provision in any document). Such funds
shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for drafts drawn from time to time under the Letters of Credit. Such funds, if any, remaining following the payment of all Obligations in full in cash and the
termination or cancellation of all Letters of Credit or the earlier termination of all Events of Default shall, unless the Administrative Agent is otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, be promptly paid over to the Company.

  
 9.03 Rights Not Exclusive. The rights provided for in
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights, powers, privileges or remedies provided by law or in equity, or under any other instrument, document or agreement now existing or hereafter
arising. 
  
 ARTICLE X 
  
 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
  
 10.01 Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent.

  
 (a) Each Bank hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and
authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, 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 Bank or Participant, 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
“administrative agent” in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents 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. 
  
 (b) The Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Banks with respect to any
Letter of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions
suffered by the Issuing Bank 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 Article X and in the definition of “Agent-Related Person” included the Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Issuing Bank.

  

 64 

 10.02 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 and other consultants or experts 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 in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  

10.03 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 in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (ii)
be responsible in any manner to any Bank or Participant 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 or in any other
Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent 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 the Company or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be
under any obligation to any Bank or Participant 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. 
  
 10.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. 
  
 (a) 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 the Company), 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 or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Banks as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks 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 or any other
Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Banks (or such greater number of Banks as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be
binding upon all of the Banks. 
  
 (b) For purposes of determining
compliance with the conditions specified in Section 5.01, each Bank that has executed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be
consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Bank prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto. 
  

 65 

 10.05 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice
of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, 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 Banks, unless the Administrative Agent shall
have received written notice from a Bank or the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. The Administrative Agent will notify the Banks of its
receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Banks in accordance with Article IX; 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 Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in
the best interest of the Banks. 
  
 10.06 Credit Decision;
Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent. Each Bank 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 Bank as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related
Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Bank 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 Company hereunder. Each Bank 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 the other Loan Documents, 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 Company. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein
required to be furnished to the Banks by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property,
financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Company which may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons. 
  
 10.07 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Banks shall indemnify upon
demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Company and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all
Indemnified Liabilities; provided that no Bank shall be liable for the payment to the Agent-Related Persons of any portion of such Indemnified 

  

 66 

 
Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Person’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct; provided that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Banks shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of
the foregoing, each Bank 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, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Company. The undertaking in this Section 10.07 shall survive termination of the
Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent. 
  
 10.08 Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity. Bank of America 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 Bank of America were not the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Bank hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Banks. The Banks acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates 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 the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to
them. With respect to its Loans, Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Bank” and
“Banks” include Bank of America in its individual capacity. 
  
 10.09 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Banks shall, resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Banks and the Company; provided that any such
resignation by Bank of America shall also constitute its resignation as Issuing Bank and Swing Line Bank. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Banks shall appoint from among the Banks a successor administrative
agent for the Banks which successor administrative agent shall be approved by the Company at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor administrative
agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Banks and the Company, a successor administrative agent from among the Banks. Upon the
acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and Swing Line
Bank, and the terms “Administrative Agent,” “Issuing Bank” and “Swing Line Bank” shall mean such successor administrative agent, Letter of Credit issuer and swing line lender, the retiring Administrative Agent’s
appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated and the retiring Issuing Bank’s and Swing Line Bank’s rights, powers and duties as such shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on 

  

 67 

 
the part of such retiring Issuing Bank or Swing Line Bank or any other Bank, other than the obligation of the successor Issuing Bank 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 satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with
respect to such Letters of Credit. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X and Sections 11.04 and 11.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative 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 Banks shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as
the Required Banks appoint a successor administrative agent as provided for above. 
  
 10.10 Tax Forms. (a) (i) Each Bank that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Foreign Bank”) 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
Bank and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Foreign Bank 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 Bank by the Company pursuant to this Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Bank 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 Bank 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 Company and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Bank by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, (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
Bank, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable laws that the Company make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Foreign Bank.

  
 (ii) Each Foreign Bank, 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 Bank under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the case of a typical participation by such Bank), shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent and the Company on the date when such Foreign Bank 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 reasonable determination of the
Administrative Agent or the Company, (A) two duly signed completed copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Bank as set 

  

 68 

 
forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Bank 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 Bank chooses to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under
the Code, to establish that such Bank is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such Bank. 
  
 (iii) The Company shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Foreign Bank under Section 4.01 (i) with respect to any
Taxes required to be deducted or withheld on the basis of the information, certificates or statements of exemption such Bank transmits with an IRS Form W-8IMY pursuant to this subsection 10.10(a) or (ii) if such Bank shall have failed to
satisfy the foregoing provisions of this subsection 10.10(a); provided that if such Bank shall have satisfied the requirement of this subsection 10.10(a) on the date such Bank became a Bank or ceased to act for its own account
with respect to any payment under any of the Loan Documents, nothing in this subsection 10.10(a) shall relieve the Company of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 4.01 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 Bank is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a
subsequent date establishing the fact that such Bank or other Person for the account of which such Bank 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 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 10.10(a). 
  
 (b) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Bank 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 Bank fails to deliver such forms, then the
Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Bank an amount equivalent to the applicable back-up withholding tax imposed by the Code, without reduction. 
  
 (c) If any Governmental Authority 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 Bank, such Bank 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 Banks under this Section shall survive the termination of the combined Commitments,
repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent. 
  

 69 

 10.11 Guaranty Matters. The Administrative Agent shall, and the Banks irrevocably authorize the
Administrative Agent to, release any Person which is a Guarantor from its obligations under any Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Specified Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder (including any release upon the request of
the Company so long as, after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default exists and the Company has provided written confirmation that it will be in compliance with Section 8.12). Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any
time, the Required Banks will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Person from its obligations under the Guaranty. 
  
 10.12 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or similar proceeding relative to the Company, 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 the Company) 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 principal and
interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Banks and the Administrative
Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Banks and the Administrative Agent under
Sections 2.12, 3.07 and 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
  
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
  
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Bank to
make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Banks, 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 under Sections 2.12 and 11.04. 
  
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative
Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in
respect of the claim of any Bank in any such proceeding. 
  
 10.13
Other Agents. None of the Banks identified on the cover page or the signature pages of this Agreement or otherwise herein, or in any amendment hereof or other document related hereto, as being a “Co-Documentation Agent”
(collectively the “Other Agents”) shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement in such 

  

 70 

 
capacity other than those applicable to all Banks. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Banks or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed
to have any fiduciary relationship with any Bank. Each Bank acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Banks or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action
hereunder. Each Bank acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Other Agents in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking any action hereunder or pursuant hereto.

 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 11.01 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any departure by the Company shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Banks (or by the Administrative Agent at the written request
of the Required Banks) and the Company 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 (a) no such
waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Company and each Bank affected thereby and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, (i) increase or extend any Commitment (or reinstate any Commitment terminated pursuant to
Section 9.02); (ii) postpone or delay any date for any scheduled payment of principal, interest (other than default interest), fees or other amounts due hereunder or under any other Loan Document; or (iii) reduce the principal of, or the rate
of interest specified herein on any Loan, or (subject to the proviso in clause (c) below) any fee or other amount payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (b) no such waiver or amendment shall, unless in writing and signed by all
Banks and the Company and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, (i) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans which is required for the Banks or any of them to take any action hereunder;
(ii) release any Guarantor (other than to the extent permitted by Section 10.11) or (iii) amend this Section 11.01 or Section 2.16, or any provision herein providing for consent or other action by all Banks; and (c) no
amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Bank in addition to the Required Banks or all the Banks, as the case may be, affect the rights or duties of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Bank, respectively, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that the Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed by the
parties thereto. 
  
 11.02 Notices. 
  
 (a) All notices, requests, consents, approvals, waivers and other
communications shall be in writing (including, unless the context expressly otherwise provides, by facsimile transmission, provided that any matter transmitted by the Company by facsimile (i) shall be immediately confirmed by a telephone call to the
recipient at the number specified on Schedule 11.02, and (ii) shall be followed promptly by delivery of a hard copy original thereof) and mailed, faxed or delivered, to the address or facsimile number specified for notices on Schedule

designated by such party in a written notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (b) All such notices, requests and communications shall, when transmitted by overnight delivery, or faxed, be effective when delivered for overnight (next-day) delivery, or transmitted in legible form by facsimile

effective until actually received by the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (c) Any agreement of the Administrative Agent and the Banks herein to receive certain notices by telephone or facsimile is solely for the convenience and at the request of the Company. The Administrative Agent and the Banks shall be
entitled to rely on the authority of any Person purporting to be a Person authorized by the Company to give such notice and the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall not have any liability to the Company or other Person on account of any action
taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent or the Banks in reliance upon such telephonic or facsimile notice. The obligation of the Company to repay the Loans shall not be affected in any way or to any extent by any failure by the Administrative
Agent and the Banks to receive written confirmation of any telephonic or facsimile notice or the receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Banks of a confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood by the Administrative Agent and the
Banks to be contained in the telephonic or facsimile notice. 
  
 11.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Bank, 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. 
  
 11.04 Costs and Expenses. The Company shall: 
  
 (a) whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, pay
or reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly after demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the development, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and the syndication, sale and/or assignment by Bank of America and the Arranger of the Loans, Commitments and interests of Bank of America (and its affiliates) hereunder, together with any amendment, supplement, waiver or
modification to (in each case, whether or not consummated) this Agreement, any Loan Document and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including
Attorney Costs incurred by the Administrative Agent with respect thereto; and 
  
 (b) pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and each Bank promptly after demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by them in connection with the
exercise, enforcement, attempted enforcement, or 

  

 72 

 
preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document during the existence of any Default or Event of Default or after
acceleration of the Loans (including in connection with any “workout” or restructuring regarding the Loans, and including in any Insolvency Proceeding or appellate proceeding). 
  
 11.05 Company Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Company shall
indemnify, defend and hold the Administrative Agent -Related Persons, and each Bank and each of its respective officers, directors, employees, 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, 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 replacement of any Bank) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnified Person in any way relating to or arising out
of this Agreement or any Loan Document, or the transactions contemplated hereby, or any action taken or omitted by any such 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 or the Loans or the use of the proceeds thereof, or related to any Offshore Currency transactions entered into in connection
herewith, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that the Company shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person with
respect to (a) items of the types described in subsection 11.04(a) for which the Company is obligated to indemnify only Bank of America and its affiliates (including the Arranger) or (b) Indemnified Liabilities to the extent resulting from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person, from the breach by such Indemnified Person of Section 11.09 or from disputes among the Banks. The agreements in this Section 11.05 shall survive payment of all
other Obligations. No Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this
Agreement, nor shall any Indemnified Person have any liability for any indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith
(whether before or after the Closing Date). All amounts due under this Section 11.05 shall be payable within ten Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent,
the replacement of any Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. 
  
 11.06 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment to the Administrative Agent or the Banks, or the Administrative Agent or
the Banks exercise their 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 Bank in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, 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 Bank 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. 
  

 73 

 11.07 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 any instrument or agreement required hereunder. 
  
 11.08 Assignments, Participations, etc. 
  
 (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Bank and no
Bank 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 (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the
provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section, or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of
subsection (g) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties
hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnified Persons) any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
  
 (b) Any Bank 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 and the Loans (including for purposes of this
subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Bank’s Commitment and the
Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Bank or an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund (as defined in subsection (g) of this Section) with respect to a Bank, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for
this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is
specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company otherwise consents (which
consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or
the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to rights in respect of Swing Line Loans; (iii) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Bank and, so
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Bank (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 

  

 74 

 
Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 4.01, 4.03, 4.04, 11.04 and 11.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the Company (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a
Note to the assignee Bank. Any assignment or transfer by a Bank 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 Bank of a participation in such
rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section. 
  
 (c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at the Payment Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation
of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall
be conclusive, and the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank 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 Bank wishing to consult with other Banks in connection therewith may request
and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register. 
  
 (d) Any Bank may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Company 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 Bank’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Bank’s participations in L/C
Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations and (iii) the Company, the Administrative Agent and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or
instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation shall provide that such Bank 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 Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clause (a) of Section 11.01 that directly affects such
Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the 

  

 75 

 
Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.01, 4.03 and 4.04 to the same extent as if it were
a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.10 as though it were a Bank, provided
such Participant agrees to be subject to Sections 2.16 and 11.09 as though it were a Bank. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.01 or 4.03 than the applicable Bank 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 Bank if it
were a Bank shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.01 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 10.10 as
though it were a Bank. 
  
 (e) Any Bank may at any time pledge or
assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided
that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto. 
  
 (f) As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings: 
  
 “Eligible Assignee” means (a) a Bank; (b) an
Affiliate of a Bank; (c) an Approved Fund; and (d) any other Person (other than a natural person) approved by (i) the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank, and (ii) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Company (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, “Eligible Assignee” shall not include the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

  
 “Fund” means any Person (other than
a natural person) that is (or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business. 
  
 “Approved Fund” means any Fund that is
administered or managed by (a) a Bank, (b) an Affiliate of a Bank or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Bank. 
  
 (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Bank (a “Granting Bank”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle
identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Bank to the Administrative Agent and the Company (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Revolving Loan that such Granting Bank 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 Revolving Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Revolving
Loan, the Granting Bank shall be obligated to make such Revolving Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is required under subsection 2.15(a). Each party hereto hereby
agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC 

  

 76 

 
nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Company under this
Agreement (including its obligations under Section 4.03), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Bank would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Bank shall for all purposes,
including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the Bank of record hereunder. The making of a Revolving Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Bank to
the same extent, and as if, such Revolving Loan were made by such Granting Bank. 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Company and the
Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Revolving Loan to the Granting Bank and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public
information relating to its funding of Revolving Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. 
  
 11.09 Confidentiality. Each Bank 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 the Company or any Subsidiary, or by the Administrative Agent on the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s behalf, 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 Bank 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 Bank; provided
that any Bank 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 Bank is
subject or in connection with an examination of such Bank 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 Bank 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 Bank’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 Banks hereunder; (viii) as to any Bank or its Affiliate, 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 Bank or such Affiliate; and (ix) subject to the restrictions above, to its Affiliates, provided that any such 

  

 77 

 
Affiliate agrees in writing to keep such information confidential to the extent required hereunder. Each Bank 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 Banks provided by law, if an Event of Default exists or the Loans have been accelerated, each Bank is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Company,
any such notice being waived by the Company 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 Bank to or for the credit or the account of the Company against any and all Obligations owing to such Bank, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Bank shall have made demand under this
Agreement or any Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Bank agrees promptly to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Bank; 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 Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Company in writing of any changes in the address to which notices to the Bank should be directed,
of addresses of any Lending Office, of payment instructions in respect of all payments to be made to it hereunder and of such other administrative information as the Administrative Agent 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 said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute but one and the same instrument. 
  
 11.13 No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is made and entered
into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Company, the Banks, the Administrative Agent and the Agent-Related 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 or any of the other Loan Documents. 
  
 11.14 Governing Law and Jurisdiction. 
  
 (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS; PROVIDED THAT
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE BANKS 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 OF THE COMPANY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE 

  

 78 

 
BANKS CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
AND THE BANKS IRREVOCABLY WAIVES 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 DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO. THE COMPANY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE BANKS EACH WAIVE PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY
ILLINOIS LAW. 
  
 11.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE COMPANY,
THE BANKS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT EACH WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY
OR THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON, PARTICIPANT OR ASSIGNEE, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE. THE
COMPANY, THE BANKS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT EACH AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION 11.15 AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF
OR THEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. 
  
 11.16 Judgment. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document
in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding
that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Company in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents 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 of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the
amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in the Agreement Currency, the Company agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the
Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement currency so 

  

 79 

 
purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any
excess to the Company (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law). 
  
 11.17 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the Company,
the Banks 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. 
  
 11.18 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations
and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and
warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Bank, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Bank or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Bank may
have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter
of Credit shall remain outstanding. 
  
 11.19 Interest Rate
Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the
“Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Bank shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal,
refunded to the Company. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Bank exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any
payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest
throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 
  
 11.20 Waiver of Notice Requirement under Existing Credit Agreement. The Banks, which constitute “Required Banks” under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement, hereby waive the requirement for five Business
Days’ prior notice of termination of the “Commitments” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) set forth in Section 2.08 of the Existing Credit Agreement and agree that such “Commitments” shall terminate on the Closing
Date. 
  
 11.21 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Bank and the
Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Bank) hereby notifies the Company that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company, which information includes the name and address of the Company and other information that will allow such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the
Company in accordance with the Act.
