entitled to request, or to elect to convert to or continue as a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested therefor would end after the Maturity Date. 

SECTION 2.03 Requests for Borrowings. To request the borrowing of Loans on the Funding Date, the Borrower shall deliver a written
Borrowing Request signed by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, two (2) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, and not later than
8:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Funding Date, in the case of an ABR Borrowing. Such Borrowing Request shall be revocable subject to compensation of each Lender for its loss, cost and expense attributable to such Borrowing Request in accordance
with Section 2.14. Each such Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 

(i) the aggregate principal amount of the requested Borrowing; 

(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; 

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing; 

(iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor, which shall be a period contemplated by the
definition of the term “Interest Period” and permitted under Section 2.02(c); and 
 (v) the location and
number of the account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.05. 

  
 -18- 

 If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing.
If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, the Borrower will be deemed to have selected an Interest Period with a duration of (x) in the case of any Interest Period beginning prior to the
Springing Date Deadline, one week or (y) in the case of any beginning on or after the Springing Date Deadline, one month. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. 

SECTION 2.04 [Intentionally Omitted]. 

SECTION 2.05 Funding of Borrowings. 

(a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the Funding Date by wire transfer of immediately
available funds by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting
the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account designated by the Borrower in the Borrowing Request. 
 (b) Presumption by the
Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of the Borrowing on the Funding Date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such
Lender’s share of such Borrowing or Borrowings, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share of the Borrowing available on such date in accordance with Section 2.05(a) and may, in reliance
upon such assumption make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower
severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to
the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of
the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. 

SECTION 2.06 Interest Elections. 

(a) Elections by the Borrower. Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the
case of a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, shall have the Interest Period specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as a Borrowing of
the same Type and, in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, may elect the Interest Period therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.06. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing,
in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans constituting such Borrowing, and the Loans constituting each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. 

(b) Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.06, the Borrower shall deliver a written Interest Election
Request signed by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing and not later than
12:00 noon, New York City time, one (1) Business Day before the date of the proposed conversion to an ABR Borrowing; provided that an Interest Election Request for a conversion of ABR Borrowings made on the Funding

  
 -19- 

 
Date may be delivered at the same time as the Borrowing Request for such ABR Borrowing for a conversion to Eurodollar Rate Borrowings two (2) Business Days later. Each such telephonic
Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable; provided that if the Interest Election Request delivered at the same time as the Borrowing Request for an ABR Borrowing on the Funding Date may be revoked in the event that such Borrowing
Request is revoked in accordance with Section 2.03. 
 (c) Information in Interest Election Requests. Each telephonic and written
Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to
different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) of this paragraph shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

 (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing; and 

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor after giving effect to such
election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” and permitted under Section 2.02(c). 

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
 (d) Notice by the Administrative Agent to Lenders. Promptly following
receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 

(e) Failure to Elect; Events of Default. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a
Eurodollar Rate Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be continued as a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing with a one-week Interest Period. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the
Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (A) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing and (B) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Rate Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR
Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period therefor. 
 SECTION 2.07 Termination of Commitments. The Commitments shall terminate
automatically immediately after the funding of the Loans on the Funding Date. Termination of the Commitments shall be permanent. 
 SECTION
2.08 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. 
 (a) Repayment. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the
ratable account of the Lenders, the principal amount of the Loans on the dates and in the principal amounts, subject to reduction as provided in Section 2.09(c), set forth on Schedule II; provided that the final
principal amount of the Loans shall be paid on the Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Article VII) and in any event shall be in an amount equal to the principal amount of all Loans outstanding
on such date. 

  
 -20- 

 (b) Manner of Payment. Prior to any repayment or prepayment of any Borrowings hereunder,
the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be paid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the scheduled
date of such repayment; provided that each repayment of Borrowings shall be applied to repay any outstanding ABR Borrowings before any other Borrowings. If the Borrower fails to make a timely selection of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be
repaid or prepaid, such payment shall be applied, first, to pay any outstanding ABR Borrowings and, second, to other Borrowings in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest Periods (the Borrowing with the
shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first). Each payment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such Borrowing. 

(c) Maintenance of Loan Accounts by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

(d) Maintenance of Loan Accounts by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record
(i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and each Interest Period therefor, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and
(iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 

(e) Effect of Entries. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section 2.08 shall
be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the
obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (f) Promissory Notes. Any Lender may
request that Loans made by it to the Borrower be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender
and its registered assigns) in the form of Exhibit D. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be
represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the registered payee named therein (and, if requested by the Lender, its registered assigns). 

SECTION 2.09 Prepayment of Loans. 

(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing made to it in
whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except for breakage costs as set forth in Section 2.14) subject to the requirements of this Section 2.09; provided that the aggregate amount of
each such partial prepayment shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 or such other lower integral multiples and minimum amounts as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 

  
 -21- 

 (b) Notices, Etc. Each notice of prepayment shall be given in accordance with
Section 2.08(b) and shall be irrevocable, provided that a notice of full prepayment of all Loans may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence
of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition
is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the relevant Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case
of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest as
required by Section 2.11, together with any amounts owing to Lenders under Section 2.14, and shall be made in the manner specified in Sections 2.08(b) and 2.09(c). 

(c) Application of Prepayments. All prepayments of Loans shall be applied to reduce scheduled repayments required under
Section 2.08(a) in direct chronological order of such repayments, commencing with the next due scheduled repayment required under Section 2.08(a). 

SECTION 2.10 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the
times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. All fees payable pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) for the actual
number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 
 SECTION 2.11 Interest. 

(a) ABR Loans. The Loans constituting each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the
Applicable Rate. 
 (b) Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Loans constituting each Borrowing of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest at
a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (c) Default
Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue
amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal, interest or premium (if any) on any Loan, 2.0% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as
provided above or (ii) in the case of any other overdue amount, 2.0% per annum plus the non-default interest rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this
Section 2.11, payable upon demand. 
 (d) Payment of Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be
payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.11 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any
repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Rate Borrowing prior to the
end of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Borrowing shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 
 (e)
Computation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year); interest
shall in each case be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 -22- 

 SECTION 2.12 Alternate Rate of Interest. 

(a) If in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, (i) the Administrative Agent
determines that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan (with
respect to clause (i) above, “Impacted Loans”), or (ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that for any reason the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the
Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods) and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the
Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent upon the instruction of the affected Lenders revokes
such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing
that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. 
 (b)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (i) of Section 2.12(a), the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower and the affected Lenders,
may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with
respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (i) of Section 2.12(a), (2) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the
Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest
is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing
and provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrower written notice thereof. 
 SECTION 2.13 Increased Costs. 

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory
loan requirement or insurance charge) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate); or 

(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition (other than Indemnified Taxes or Excluded Taxes)
affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender; or 

  
 -23- 

 (iii) subject the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other recipient of any
payments hereunder to any Taxes on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes and
(C) Other Taxes); 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Person of making, continuing, converting into or
maintaining any Loan to the Borrower (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Person hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will
pay to such Person, in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Person for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have
the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or
such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then
from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

(c) Certificates from Lenders. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts, in Dollars, necessary to compensate such
Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.13, and setting forth in reasonable detail calculations of such amount or amounts, shall be
delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section 2.13 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this
Section 2.13 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such
Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 SECTION 2.14 Break Funding Payments. In
the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Rate Loan other than on the
last day of an Interest Period therefor, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under
Section 2.09(b) and is revoked in accordance herewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.18 (excluding, in each case, any such event occurring on the Springing Date), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. 

  
 -24- 

 In the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event
shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of
such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such
borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such
period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for deposits from other banks in the eurocurrency market at the commencement of such
period. The Borrower shall not be responsible for losses described in this Section 2.14 arising more than six (6) months prior to its receipt of notice of such determination by the respective Lender requesting compensation for such loss.
Such notice, to be effective, shall be accompanied by a calculation of such losses in reasonable detail. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this
Section 2.14 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 

SECTION 2.15 Taxes. 
 (a)
Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law; provided that if the
Borrower or other applicable withholding agent shall be required to deduct any Tax, then (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions
have been made (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no
such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or other applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or other applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. In addition (but without duplication), the
Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) Indemnification by the
Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender (without duplication), within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with
respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a
Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d)
Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a
receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

  
 -25- 

 (e) Foreign Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is and remains entitled to an exemption from
or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the United States of America, or any treaty to which the United States of America is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement by the Borrower shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments by the Borrower to
be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. 
 (f) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the
Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting
the obligation of the Borrower to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement (including any Excluded Taxes and Taxes arising as a result of the Lender’s failure to
maintain a Participant Register) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this
Section 2.15(f) shall be paid within 10 days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the
amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.16 [Intentionally Omitted]. 

SECTION 2.17 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. 

(a) Payments by the Borrower. The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest
or fees, or under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff, counterclaim or other deduction. Any amounts received after such time on
any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the
Administrative Agent’s Account, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 2.18(b) and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for
the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day
and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars. 

(b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to
pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest
and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. 

(c) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each Borrowing shall be made from the Lenders pro rata
according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (ii) each Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans
(in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them;
and (iv) each payment of interest on Loans shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders. 

  
 -26- 

 (d) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff
or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon then due
than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments
shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the
payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any
payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or
Participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable
law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower’s rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of
the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 (e) Presumptions of Payment. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such
payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to
the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent,
at the Federal Funds Rate. 
 (f) Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment
required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(b) or 2.17(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account over which the
Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under such Sections, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by
the Administrative Agent in its discretion. 
 SECTION 2.18 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking
its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant
to Section 2.13 or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

  
 -27- 

 (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13 or
2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender
and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payment
pursuant to Sections 2.13 or 2.14) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall
have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (including any amounts payable under Section 2.14 as a result of such assignment), from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees)
or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) if the Lender being replaced does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such
replacement by the later of (x) the date on which the assignee Lender executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation and (y) the time such Lender receives payment under clause (ii) above, then
the Lender being replaced shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and
Assumption and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Lender (provided that the Borrower shall make no representation or warranty on behalf of such Lender in such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation) and
(iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 

ARTICLE III 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

The Company represents and warrants to the Lenders that, as of the Funding Date and as of the JV Closing Date: 

SECTION 3.01 Corporate Existence. Each of the Company and its Material Subsidiaries: (a) is a corporation duly organized and
validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation (or, in the case of a Material Subsidiary that is not a corporation, is a partnership or other entity duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
organization); (b) has all requisite legal power, and has all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals, necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted; and (c) is
qualified to do business in all jurisdictions in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary and where failure so to qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 -28- 

 SECTION 3.02 Financial Condition. The Company has heretofore furnished to the Lenders
(i) the consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2014, December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2016 and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and changes in
common shareholders’ equity of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for the three fiscal years ended December 31, 2016, with the opinion thereon of Deloitte & Touche LLP and (ii) the unaudited consolidated balance
sheets and related statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017. Such financial
statements fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as at said dates and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods presented,
all in accordance with GAAP (except, in the case of clause (ii), for normal year-end audit adjustments and/or absence of full footnote disclosures). Neither the Company nor any of its Material Subsidiaries had
on said dates any material contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments, except as referred to or reflected or provided for in said
balance sheets as at said dates. Since December 31, 2016, there has been no event or condition that could result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

SECTION 3.03 Litigation. The legal or arbitral proceedings, and proceedings by or before any Governmental Authority, now pending or (to
the knowledge of the Company) threatened against the Company and/or any of its Material Subsidiaries will not, in the opinion of the General Counsel of the Company, result in imposition of liability or assessment against (including seizure of)
property that would result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.04 No Breach. None of the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated and compliance with the terms and provisions hereof will conflict with or result in a breach of, or require any consent under, the charter or
by-laws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority, or any material agreement or instrument to which
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound or to which any of them is subject, or constitute a default under any such agreement or instrument, other than immaterial conflicts under contractual obligations.

 SECTION 3.05 Corporate Action. The Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under this Agreement; the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on its part; and this Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by
the Company and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by equitable principles or by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally. 
 SECTION 3.06 Approvals. No authorizations, approvals or
consents of, and no filings or registrations with, any Governmental Authority are necessary for the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of this Agreement or for the validity or enforceability thereof, except for approvals or consents
that have been obtained prior to the Funding Date. 
 SECTION 3.07 Use of Loans. The Company will use the proceeds of the Loans to
(i) repay certain existing indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries and (ii) to pay fees and expenses in connection with the Transactions. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its
important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying Margin Stock and no part of the proceeds of any Loan hereunder will be used to buy or carry, or to extend
credit to others to buy or carry, any Margin Stock. 

  
 -29- 

 SECTION 3.08 ERISA. (i) Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, the Company and the ERISA Affiliates have fulfilled their respective obligations under the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan and are in compliance in all material respects with the applicable
provisions of ERISA and the Code, and (ii) have not incurred any liability to the PBGC or any Plan or Multiemployer Plan (other than to make contributions or scheduled payments in the ordinary course of business) which, when taken together with
all other such liabilities incurred, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.09 Taxes. The
Company and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States Federal income tax returns and all other tax returns required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries except (i) for those being contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP or (ii) to the extent that such failure to file or pay such taxes would not reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company and its Material Subsidiaries in respect of taxes and other governmental charges are, in the opinion of the Company, adequate. If the
Company is a member of an affiliated group of corporations filing consolidated returns for United States Federal income tax purposes, it is the “common parent” of such group. 

SECTION 3.10 Investment Company Act. The Company is not an “investment company,” or a company “controlled” by an
“investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
 SECTION 3.11 Credit
Agreements. Schedule III is a complete and correct list, as of the date of this Agreement, of each credit agreement, loan agreement, indenture, purchase agreement, guarantee or other arrangement providing for or otherwise relating to any
Indebtedness or any extension of credit (or commitment for any extension of credit) to, or guarantee by, the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries the aggregate principal or face amount of which equals or exceeds (or may equal or exceed)
$150,000,000 and the aggregate principal or face amount outstanding or which may become outstanding under each such arrangement is correctly described in Schedule III. 

SECTION 3.12 Hazardous Materials and Environmental Matters. 

(a) Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect: 

(i) the Company and each of its Material Subsidiaries have obtained all permits, licenses and other authorizations
(“Permits”) required under all applicable Environmental Laws, for their respective operations, businesses and assets, and such Permits are in full force and effect and the Company and each of its Material Subsidiaries are in
compliance with the terms and conditions of all such Permits; 
 (ii) the Company and each of its Material Subsidiaries, and
their respective operations and assets, are in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; 
 (iii) neither the
Company nor any of its Material Subsidiaries has received any written notice of violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability under any Environmental Laws, nor does the Company
or any of its Material Subsidiaries have knowledge that any such notice will be received or is being threatened; 
 (iv) no
judicial proceeding or governmental or administrative action is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries, threatened, under any Environmental Law to which the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries is or
will be named as a party, nor are any of them subject to any consent decree, or consent order or other orders or judgments under any Environmental Law; 

  
 -30- 

 (v) there has been no Release or threat of Release of Hazardous Materials at, on,
under or from any properties or facilities currently, or to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries, formerly, owned or operated by any of them which would reasonably be expected to result in a violation of or liability
under any Environmental Laws on the part of any of them; and 
 (vi) neither the Company nor any of its Material Subsidiaries
has contractually assumed or undertaken responsibility for any liability or obligation of any Person arising under or relating to any Environmental Laws. 

(b) Compliance Review. In the ordinary course of its business, the Company conducts an ongoing review of the effect of Environmental
Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated liabilities and costs (including any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up or closure of properties presently or previously owned, any capital or operating expenditures required to achieve or maintain compliance with environmental protection standards imposed by law or as a
condition of any license, permit or contract, any related constraints on operating activities, including any periodic or permanent shutdown of any facility or reduction in the level of or change in the nature of operations conducted thereat, any
costs or liabilities in connection with off-site disposal of wastes or hazardous substances, and any actual or potential liabilities to third parties, including employees, and any related costs and expenses).
On the basis of this review, the Company has reasonably concluded that, except as expressly disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and the
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2017, such associated liabilities and costs, including the costs of compliance with Environmental Laws, are unlikely to have a
Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.13 Full Disclosure. The Company has heretofore furnished to each of the Lenders a true copy of
the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 (the “Annual Report”), as filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Except as disclosed in writing to the Lenders specifically referencing this Section 3.13, the annual, quarterly and other periodic reports most recently delivered to the Lenders pursuant to this
Section 3.13 or Section 3.02 do not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not materially misleading. 
 SECTION 3.14 Anti-Terrorism Laws and Sanctions. To the extent applicable, the
Company and each Material Subsidiary is in compliance, in all material respects, with (i) the Patriot Act, (ii) the Trading with the Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 1 et seq., as amended, and (iii) any sanctions administered by
(a) the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department or the U.S. Department of State, or (b) the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, any European Union member state, Her Majesty’s Treasury of the
United Kingdom or other relevant sanctions authority of the United States, the United Nations, the European Union or the United Kingdom, which administers legally binding economic or trade sanctions (“Sanctions”). Neither the
Company nor any Material Subsidiary nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any director, officer or employee of the Company or any Material Subsidiary, is the target of any Sanctions. No proceeds of the Loans will be used by the Company or any
Material Subsidiary, directly or to its knowledge indirectly, except as otherwise permitted for a Person required to comply with Sanctions, for the purpose of funding or financing any activities or business of any Person that at the time of such
funding or financing is the target of any Sanctions.

encumbrances incurred in the ordinary course of business and encumbrances consisting of zoning restrictions, easements, licenses, restrictions on the use of property or minor imperfections in title thereto which, in the aggregate, are not material

ARTICLE VIII 
 THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender
and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with an Obligor or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate
thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. 

  
 -40- 

 The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing
as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its judgment or the
judgment of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable Requirements of Law, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to
disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to an Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein)
or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until
written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by an Obligor or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in
or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or
conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere
herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
 The Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the
proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may
consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for an Obligor), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants
or experts. 
 The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through
their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Obligors. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders
shall have the right to appoint a successor, subject to the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that the Company’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject to the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that the Company’s consent
shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. If the Administrative Agent notifies the Company that no Person has accepted such appointment, 

  
 -41- 

 
then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and (2) the Required
Lenders shall perform the duties of the Administrative Agent (and all payments and communications provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly) until such time as the Required
Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above in this paragraph. If the Person serving as Administrative Agent becomes the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee, administrator,
assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person charged with reorganization or liquidation of its business or custodian, appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence
in any such proceeding or appointment or has a parent company that has become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee, administrator, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person
charged with reorganization or liquidation of its business or custodian appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment, the Required
Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Company and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, subject to the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), provided that the Company’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30
days (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a
successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) or removed Administrative Agent and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from
its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless
otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the
benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as
Administrative Agent. 
 Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and not
investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each
Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public
information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Obligors and their Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon
this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder.

 None of the Lenders or their Affiliates, if any, identified in this Agreement as a Lead Arranger shall have any right, power, obligation,
liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of Lenders, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lead Arrangers or such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a
fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to the relevant Lenders and their Affiliates in their respective capacities as Lead Arrangers as it makes with respect to the Administrative Agent
in the preceding paragraph. 

  
 -42- 

 Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party
hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers and their respective

to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, 

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning

to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, or 

(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole
discretion, and such Lender. 
 In addition, unless sub-clause (i) of the immediately preceding
paragraph is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has not provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) of the immediately preceding paragraph, such Lender
further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the
benefit of, the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the JV Facility Loan Parties, that: 

(i) none of the Administrative Agent or the Lead Arrangers or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to

 -43- 

 (ii) the Person making the investment decision on behalf of such Lender with
respect to the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement is independent (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-21) and is a bank,
an insurance carrier, an investment adviser, a broker-dealer or other person that holds, or has under management or control, total assets of at least $50 million, in each case as described in 29 CFR §

 (iv) the Person making

(v) no fee or other compensation is being paid directly to the Administrative Agent or any Lead Arranger or any their
respective Affiliates for investment advice (as opposed to other services) in connection with the Loans, the Commitments or this Agreement. 

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers hereby informs the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide
impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an
Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid

(iv) if to a Lender, to it at its address (or telecopy number) set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire. 

Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto (or, in the
case of any such change by a Lender, by notice to the the Obligors and the Administrative Agent). All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given
on the date of receipt; provided, if any notice or other communication is received after a recipient’s normal business hours, such notice or other communication shall be deemed received upon the opening of the next Business Day. 

Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by using Electronic Systems pursuant to procedures
approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the Obligors may,
in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or

 (b) Platform. Each Obligor further agrees that Administrative Agent may make all information, documents and other

and other information materials (collectively, the “Communications”) available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar or a substantially similar Electronic System (the
“Platform”). The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Communications, or the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim
liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose,
non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative

damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Obligor’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through the Platform, except to the extent the liability of such Person is found
in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

  
 -45- 

 Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a
“Notice”) specifying that any Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such information, documents or other materials to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement; provided that
if requested by any Lender the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of the Communications to such Lender by email or telecopier. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail address to which a Notice may be sent by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter
to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail address. 

(c) Public/Private. The Company hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to distribute (i) to Private Siders all Communications
and (ii) to Public Siders such Communications and only such Communications that the Company clearly identifies in writing as being available for communication to Public Siders (“Public Sider Communications”). The Company
represents and warrants that no Public Sider Communication contains or will contain any MNPI. “Private Siders” means Lenders’ employees and representatives who have declared that they are authorized to receive MNPI.
“Public Siders” means Lenders’ employees and representatives who have not declared that they are authorized to receive MNPI; it being understood that Public Siders may be engaged in investment and other market-related
activities with respect to the Company or its Affiliates’ securities or loans. “MNPI” means material non-public information (within the meaning of United States federal securities laws)
with respect to the Company, its Affiliates and any of their respective securities. 
 Each Lender acknowledges that United States federal
and state securities laws prohibit any Person from purchasing or selling securities on the basis of material, non-public information concerning the issuer of such securities or, subject to certain limited
exceptions, from communicating such information to any other Person. Each Lender confirms that it has developed procedures to ensure compliance with these securities laws. 

Each Lender acknowledges that circumstances may arise that require it to refer to Communications that may contain MNPI (“Private Sider
Communications”). Accordingly, each Lender agrees that it will designate at least one individual to receive Private Sider Communications on its behalf in compliance with its procedures and applicable law and identify such designee
(including such designee’s contact information) on such Lender’s Administrative Questionnaire. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time of such Lender’s designee’s
e-mail address to which notice of the availability of Private Sider Communications may be sent by electronic transmission. 

Each Lender that elects not to be given access to Private Sider Communications does so voluntarily and, by such election, acknowledges and
agrees that the Administrative Agent and other Lenders may have access to Private Sider Communications that such electing Lender does not have, and takes sole responsibility for the consequences of, and waives any and all claims based on or arising
out of, not having access to Private Sider Communications. 
 SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments. 

(a) No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or
power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or consent to any departure by any Obligor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or
any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 

  
 -46- 

 (b) Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or
modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by (x) the Borrower, (y) each other Obligor (if any) and (z) the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders;
provided that no such agreement shall 
 (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such
Lender, 
 (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable
hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, 
 (iii) postpone the scheduled date of
payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, 

(iv) alter the manner in which payments or prepayments of principal, interest or other amounts hereunder shall be applied as
among the Lenders or Types of Loans, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, 
 (v) release the
Guarantor from the IP Guarantee (except as expressly provided in the IP Guarantee) or limit its liability in respect of such Guarantee, without the written consent of each Lender; or 

(vi) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.02 or the percentage in the definition of the
term “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written
consent of each Lender; 
 and provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the
Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, without
the consent of the Borrower, any other Obligor or any Lender, (i) in the event the JV Closing Date occurs, this Agreement shall be amended and restated as the JV Facility Agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit I hereto
(or as may be amended pursuant to clause (ii)) effective as of the Springing Date, subject solely to the satisfaction or waiver (in accordance with this Section 9.02) of the conditions set forth in Section 6 of the JV Facility Agreement
and (ii) if the maturity of the Existing GPI Facilities is not extended prior to or on or about the JV Closing Date, in connection with the first refinancing or amendment of the Existing GPI Facilities that extends the maturity date thereof
that occurs after the JV Closing Date, if any provision included in the documentation governing such refinancing or amendment (including with respect to the Applicable Rate) is more favorable to the lenders of such refinanced or extended facilities
than the corresponding provision in the JV Facility Agreement, then the JV Facility Agreement shall be automatically amended so that such provision shall inure to the benefit of the lenders under the JV Facility Agreement, and be binding upon, as
applicable, the JV Facility Loan Parties.

 SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements
of one primary counsel (in addition to one local counsel per jurisdiction) for the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service
such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any proposed or effective amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers or any Lender,
including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under
this Section 9.03, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including in connection with any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof. 

(b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and each Lender, and each
Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the
fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any
actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, under or from any property or facility owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any liability arising under any Environmental Law related in any way to the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee
is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or
damages arising from any non-Tax claim. 
 (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that
the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9.03, each Lender severally agrees to pay to
the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (it being understood that the
Borrower’s failure to pay any such amount shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be,
was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers, as applicable, in their respective capacities as such. 

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Obligor shall assert, and hereby waives, any
claim against any Indemnitee (i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), except to the
extent of direct or actual damages that have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnitee or any Related Party of such Indemnitee (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
nonappealable judgment), or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. 

  
 -48- 

 (e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be payable promptly after
written demand therefor. 
 SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns. 

(a) Successors Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) no Obligor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder (except pursuant to Section 6.06(e)) without the prior
consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Obligor without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this
Section 9.04. 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, the Lead Arrangers,
Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 9.04) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the
Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) Assignments by Lenders. 

(i) Assignments Generally. Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign
to one or more Persons (other than an Ineligible Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:

 (A) the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have
consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof); provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required
(x) for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund, (y) if an Event of Default referred to in clause (a), (e), (f) or (g) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing, or
(z) in the case of an Assignment and Assumption entered into on or before the Springing Date, such assignment is to a financial institution previously agreed in writing by the Administrative Agent and the Company or GPI (as applicable); and

 (B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided that no consent of the
Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund. 
 (ii)
Certain Conditions to Assignments. Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 
 (A) except
in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate (or Approved Fund) of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender
subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, 

  
 -49- 

 (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate
part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, 
 (C) the parties to each assignment
shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and 

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 

(iii) Effectiveness of Assignments. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of
this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender under this Agreement in addition to any rights and obligations theretofore held by it as a Lender, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be
released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall
continue to be entitled to the benefits of and subject to the obligations of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 9.03 and 9.12). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does
not comply with this paragraph (b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 9.04. 

(iv) Maintenance of Register. The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a
non-fiduciary agent of the Obligors, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount and stated interest of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive, and the Obligors, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to
the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Obligors and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(v) Acceptance of Assignments by Administrative Agent. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption
executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b)(ii)(C) of
this Section 9.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b)(i) of this Section 9.04, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and
record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 

(c) Participations. 

  
 -50- 

 (i) Participations Generally. Any Lender may, without the consent of the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), other than an Ineligible Institution, in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Obligors, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso
to Section 9.02(b), that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 9.04, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of and
subject to the obligations under Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Section 9.04; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.17 and 2.18 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this
Section 9.04. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.18(b)
with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.17(d) as though it were a Lender. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary, any bank that is a member of the Farm Credit System that (a) has purchased a participation from CoBank, ACB in the
minimum amount of $5,000,000 on or after the Funding Date, (b) is, by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (“Voting Participant Notification”), designated by CoBank, ACB as being entitled to be accorded
the rights of a voting participant hereunder (any bank that is a member of the Farm Credit System so designated being called a “Voting Participant”) and (c) receives prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent to become a Voting Participant, shall be entitled to vote (and the voting rights of CoBank shall be correspondingly reduced), on a dollar-for-dollar basis, as if
such participant were a Lender, on any matter requiring or allowing a Lender to provide or withhold its consent, or to otherwise vote on any proposed action; provided, however, that if such Voting Participant has at any time failed to
fund any portion of its participation when required to do so and notice of such failure has been delivered by the selling Lender to the Administrative Agent, then until such time as all amounts of its participation required to have been funded have
been funded and notice of such funding has been delivered by the selling Lender to the Administrative Agent, such Voting Participant shall not be entitled to exercise its voting rights pursuant to the terms of this
Section 9.04(c), and the voting rights of the selling Lender shall not be correspondingly reduced by the amount of such Voting Participant’s participation. To be effective, each Voting Participant Notification shall,
with respect to any Voting Participant, (i) state the full name, as well as all contact information required of assignee as set forth in Exhibit A hereto and (ii) state the Dollar amount of the participation purchased.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the following members of the Farm Credit System shall be a Voting Participant without delivery of a Voting Participant Notification and without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent: (i) 1st Farm Credit Services, FLCA, (ii) American AgCredit, FLCA, (iii) AgFirst Farm Credit Bank, (iv) United FCS, FLCA dba FCS Commercial Finance Group, (v) Farm Credit
West, FLCA, (vi) Farm Credit Bank of Texas, (vii) Farm Credit Mid-America, FLCA, (viii) Farm Credit of New Mexico, FLCA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Farm Credit of New Mexico, ACA,
(ix) Farm Credit Services of America, FLCA and (x) Northwest Farm Credit Services, FLCA. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on information contained in notices delivered pursuant to this
paragraph. 

  
 -51- 

 (ii) Limitations on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be
entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13 or 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the
participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such
Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Obligors, to comply with Section 2.15(e) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under
Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the participating Lender). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower,
maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant
Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s
interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender and, to the extent the Participant Register is
shown to any other party hereto, such party hereto shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. 

(d) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such
pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party
hereto. 
 SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by any Obligor herein and in the
certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of
any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the
time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid. The provisions
of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the
expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 
 SECTION 9.06 Counterparts;
Integration. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This
Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract between and among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous

  
 -52- 

 
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof; provided that (i) the provisions of the Commitment Letter that survive the expiration or termination of
the Commitment Letter (as set forth in the last paragraph of the Commitment Letter) shall survive in accordance with the terms of the Commitment Letter and (ii) the Fee Letter shall survive in accordance with the terms of the Fee Letter, and,
in each case, shall not be superseded by this Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, e-mailed.pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an
image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 SECTION
9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without
affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any
time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or
for the credit or the account of any Obligor against any of and all the obligations of such Obligor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this
Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender shall notify the Obligors and the Administrative Agent promptly of any such set-off and the application of the proceeds thereof;
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.08 are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. 
 SECTION 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. 

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York. 

(b) Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: 

(i) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to which it is a party to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York, Borough of Manhattan (the “New York Supreme Court”), and the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Federal District Court,” and together with the New York Supreme Court, the “New York Courts”) and appellate courts from either of them; provided that nothing
in this Agreement shall be deemed or operate to preclude (i) any party from bringing any legal action or proceeding in any jurisdiction for the recognition and enforcement of any judgment, (ii) if all such New York Courts decline
jurisdiction over any Person, or decline (or in the case of the Federal District Court, lack) jurisdiction over any subject matter of such action or proceeding, a legal action or proceeding may be brought with respect thereto in another court having
jurisdiction and (iii) in the event a legal action or proceeding is brought against any party hereto or involving any of its assets or property in another court (without any collusive assistance by such party or any of its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates), such party from asserting a claim or defense (including any claim or defense that this Section 9.09(b)(i) would otherwise require to be asserted in a legal proceeding in a New York Court) in any such action or
proceeding; 

  
 -53- 

 (ii) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts
and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient forum and agrees not to plead or claim the same; 

(iii) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered
or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the applicable Obligor, the applicable Lender and/or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, at the address specified in
Section 9.01(a) or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent, any such Lender and the Obligors shall have been notified pursuant thereto; and 

(iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or
(subject to Section 9.09(b)(i) above) shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 9.10

THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER
PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.10. 
 SECTION 9.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table
of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

SECTION 9.12 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. 

(a) Treatment of Certain Information. Each Obligor acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other
services may be offered or provided to an Obligor or one or more of its Subsidiaries (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more subsidiaries or affiliates of such Lender and each Obligor hereby authorizes each
Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such subsidiary or affiliate, it being
understood that any such subsidiary or affiliate receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 9.12 as if it were a Lender hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the repayment of
the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 
 (b)
Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ directors,
officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such
Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or self-regulatory body (including any self-

  
 -54- 

 
regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process,
(iv) to any other party to this Agreement, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement
containing provisions substantially the same as those of this paragraph, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, to any credit insurance provider
or direct, indirect, actual or prospective counterparty (and its advisor) to any swap, derivative or securitization transaction related to the obligations under this Agreement, (vii) with the consent of the Obligors or (viii) to the extent
such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this paragraph or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For
the purposes of this paragraph, “Information” means all information received from any Obligor relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (or their business) or obtained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from a
review of the books and records of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Obligor; provided
that, in the case of information received from an Obligor after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this
Section 9.12 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential
information. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Assignment and Assumption, the provisions of this Section 9.12(b) shall survive with respect to the Administrative Agent and each Lender until the
second anniversary of such Administrative Agent or Lender ceasing to be the Administrative Agent or a Lender, respectively, whether by assignment or by repayment of the Loans. 

EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12(b) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE
SECURITIES LAWS. 
 ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR ITS
SECURITIES.

GUARANTEE 
 SECTION 2.01
Guarantee. International Paper guarantees to each Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal

any of the Guaranteed Obligations, International Paper will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be
promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. This is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. 

SECTION 2.02 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of International Paper under Section 2.01 are absolute and unconditional
irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity, legality or enforceability of the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release
or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable

(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to International Paper, the time for any performance of or compliance with
any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived; 
 (b) any of the
acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Guarantee, the Credit Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended, done or omitted; 

(c) the unenforceability, illegality, invalidity or non-provability of any of the acts
mentioned in any of the provisions of this Guarantee, the Credit Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein;

Obligations shall be modified, supplemented, or amended in any respect, or any right under this Guarantee, the Credit Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with. 
 International Paper hereby
expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower under the Credit
Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. 

SECTION 2.03 Reinstatement. The obligations of International Paper under this Article II shall be automatically reinstated if and to
the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings
in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise and International Paper agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred by the Administrative
Agent or such Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration. 
 SECTION 2.04 Subrogation. International Paper hereby
waives all rights of subrogation or contribution, whether arising by operation of law (including any such right arising under the Bankruptcy Code, as now or hereafter in effect) or otherwise, by reason of any payment by it pursuant to the provisions
of this Article II and further agrees that for the benefit of each of its creditors (including each Lender and the Administrative Agent) that any such payment by it of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower shall constitute a contribution of
capital by International Paper to the Borrower or, if evidenced by an instrument in form and substance (and containing terms of subordination) satisfactory to the Required Lenders, indebtedness subordinated in right of payment to the principal of
and interest (including post-petition interest) on the Loans owing by the Borrower. 
 SECTION 2.05 Remedies. International Paper
agrees that, as between International Paper and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article VII of the Credit Agreement (and shall be deemed to have
become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Article VII of the Credit Agreement) for purposes of Section 2.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations
from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the
Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by International Paper for purposes of said Section 2.01. 
 SECTION 2.06
Continuing Guarantee. This Guarantee is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

(a) No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or
power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this
Guarantee or consent to any departure by any Obligor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 4.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

(c) Release of Guarantee. In the event the Springing Date occurs this Guarantee shall be, effective as of the Springing Date,

be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

SECTION 4.06 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any
time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or
for the credit or the account of International Paper against any of and all the obligations of International Paper now or hereafter existing under this Guarantee held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any
demand under this Guarantee and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 4.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Federal District Court,” and together with the New York Supreme Court, the “New York Courts”) and appellate courts from either of them; provided that nothing
in this Guarantee shall be deemed or operate to preclude (i) any party from bringing any legal action or proceeding in any jurisdiction for the recognition and enforcement of any judgment, (ii) if all

  
 -5- 

 such New York Courts decline jurisdiction over any Person, or decline (or in the case of the
Federal District Court, lack) jurisdiction over any subject matter of such action or proceeding, a legal action or proceeding may be brought with respect thereto in another court having jurisdiction and (iii) in the event a legal action or
proceeding is brought against any party hereto or involving any of its assets or property in another court (without any collusive assistance by such party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates), such party from asserting a claim or defense
(including any claim or defense that this Section 4.07(b)(i) would otherwise require to be asserted in a legal proceeding in a New York Court) in any such action or proceeding; 

(ii) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or
hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient forum and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

the Credit Agreement: 
 1. The fair value of the property of GPI and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is greater than the total
amount of liabilities, including, without limitation contingent liabilities, of GPI and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis. 
 2. The
present fair salable value of the assets of GPI and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of GPI and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, on their debts as
they become absolute and matured. 
 3. GPI and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, do not intend to, and do not believe that they
will, incur debts or liabilities beyond their ability to pay as such debts and liabilities mature. 
 4. GPI and its subsidiaries, on a
consolidated basis, are not engaged in business or a transaction, and are not about to engage in business or a transaction, for which the property of GPI and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, would constitute an unreasonably small amount of
capital. 
 In reaching the conclusions set forth in this Certificate, I have made such other investigations and inquiries as I have deemed
appropriate, having taken into account the nature of the particular business anticipated to be conducted by GPI and its subsidiaries after the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement.

 EXHIBIT H 

[FORM OF] 
 NOVATION AND ASSUMPTION
AGREEMENT 
 This NOVATION AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of [
                    ], 20181, is among INTERNATIONAL PAPER COMPANY, a New York corporation
(“International Paper”), GRAPHIC PACKAGING INTERNATIONAL, LLC, the successor by statutory conversion to Graphic Packaging International, Inc. (“GPI”), and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as administrative agent (in such
capacity and together with its successors, the “Administrative Agent”), for itself and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement referred to below (the “Lenders”). 

Recitals: 
 WHEREAS, as of
the date hereof, International Paper, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are parties to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of December [•], 2017 (as amended, supplemented or modified through the date hereof, the “Credit
Agreement”), under which the Lenders extended credit to International Paper as the Borrower thereunder. 
 WHEREAS, International
Paper, GPI, Graphic Packaging Holding Company and Gazelle Newco LLC (the “Joint Venture”) are parties to that certain Transaction Agreement dated as of October 23, 2017 (the “Transaction Agreement”). 

WHEREAS, in connection with the formation and capitalization of the Joint Venture pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, International Paper
and GPI are entering into this Agreement pursuant to which (a) GPI will become a party to the Credit Agreement, (b) International Paper will novate and assign to GPI all of International Paper’s rights and obligations as Borrower
under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (c) International Paper will be released from all its obligations as Borrower under the Loan Documents, and (d) International Paper will execute and deliver the IP Guarantee. 

In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained in this Agreement and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 
 1. Definitions. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement
and not otherwise defined herein are used herein (including in the Recitals hereto) with the meanings so defined. 
 2. Effectiveness.
This Agreement shall become effective as of the JV Closing Date. 
 3. Joinder. GPI hereby joins and becomes a party to (as fully as
if GPI had been an original signatory thereto) (a) the Credit Agreement as the Borrower and an Obligor thereunder for all purposes thereof, and the Credit Agreement shall be construed and treated in all respects as if GPI was (and had at all
times been) named therein as the Borrower instead of International Paper and (b) the other Loan Documents as an Obligor thereunder for all purposes thereof. 
  

 

	1 	JV Closing Date. 

 4. Novation and Assumption; Release. 

4.1. Novation and Assumption. International Paper, solely in its capacity as the Borrower, hereby irrevocably novates and assigns to GPI
all of International Paper’s rights, title and interests and obligations as Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and GPI hereby irrevocably accepts such rights, title and interests and assumes such duties,
liabilities and obligations as Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents from International Paper from the JV Closing Date on the terms and conditions contained herein, including, without limitation, (i) any claims,
liabilities or obligations arising from any failure of International Paper to perform any of its obligations to be performed by the Borrower prior to the date hereof under the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document and (ii) all claims or
liabilities of International Paper with respect to the Loans under the Credit Agreement. 
 4.2. GPI’s Performance Obligation.
GPI shall duly perform and discharge all duties, liabilities and obligations arising out of or related to the Credit Agreement and/or any other Loan Document whatsoever from time to time to be performed or discharged by it by virtue of this
Agreement in all respects as if GPI was (and had at all times been) named therein as the Borrower instead of International Paper. 
 4.3.
GPI’s Release of International Paper. GPI shall assume liability for any breach, non-observance or failure by International Paper to perform any obligations as Borrower expressed to be undertaken
by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document before the JV Closing Date. 
 4.4. Lenders’ Release of
International Paper. The Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Lenders, hereby releases International Paper from all obligations as Borrower under the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
it is understood and agreed that the foregoing shall not release in any respect any liability of International Paper (x) for breach of its representations, warranties and covenants expressly made or undertaken by International Paper under this
Agreement (including Section 4.7 hereof), the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or (y) under the IP Guarantee; it being understood that International Paper will be released from its liabilities described under clause (x) and
(y) as of the Springing Date in accordance with Section 4.02(c) of the IP Guarantee, subject to the conditions set forth therein. 

4.5. Lenders’ Acceptance of Novation and Assumption by GPI. The Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Lenders,
hereby (i) consents to the novation and assumption set forth in Section 4.1 above, and accepts the liability of GPI for the obligations as Borrower in place of the liability of International Paper for the obligations
as Borrower arising out of or related to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (ii) grants to GPI the same rights under or arising out of or related to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document as were granted to
International Paper as Borrower under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document every way as if GPI was and had been the Borrower under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document instead of and in place of International Paper. 

4.6. No Default or Event of Default. International Paper hereby represents to GPI that no Default or Event of Default under the Credit
Agreement has occurred prior to, and is continuing as of, the JV Closing Date (an “Existing Default or Event of Default”). International Paper agrees to hold GPI harmless, and hereby indemnifies GPI, for any and all losses, costs,
expenses or damages incurred by GPI by reason of any Existing Default or Event of Default or the actions of the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders in response thereto.

 4.7. Pre-JV Closing Date Interest, Fees and
Expenses. Notwithstanding Section 3 and Section 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 above to the contrary (but subject to the remainder of this Section 4.7), the parties hereto agree that International Paper, and not GPI as Borrower, shall be liable
for the payment of, and shall pay: (i) all interest and other payment obligations that have accrued or become payable on or with respect to the Loans during the period from the Funding Date to, but excluding, the JV Closing Date, (ii) all
arrangement, agency, upfront and closing fees payable to the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders, including those payable pursuant to Section 5.01(d) of the Credit Agreement but excluding any JV Facility Flexed Upfront Fees
that may be payable pursuant to the JV Closing Date Fee Letter (such arrangement, agency, upfront and closing fees, the “Closing Fees”), and (iii) all costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, including
legal fees and disbursements pursuant to Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement, payable in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of, and the funding of the Loans under, the Credit Agreement relating to any period ending on or
prior to the JV Closing Date (regardless of when invoiced) (“Closing Expenses”) and, to the extent GPI pays any of the foregoing amounts, International Paper shall reimburse GPI therefor promptly upon request. In this connection, in
the event that an Interest Period under the Credit Agreement commences on a date (the “Interest Period Commencement Date”) prior to the JV Closing Date and ends on a date (the “Interest Period Expiry Date”) after
the JV Closing Date, International Paper shall pay to GPI, on the JV Closing Date (or, if not a Business Day, the first succeeding Business Day thereafter), an amount equal to the interest on the Loans that has accrued for the period from and
including the Interest Period Commencement Date to, but excluding, the JV Closing Date and GPI shall, on the related Interest Payment Date, pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, the interest on the Loans accruing for the period
from the Interest Period Commencement Date to, and including, the Interest Period Expiry Date. 
 5. Representations and Warranties of
GPI. GPI represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that: 
 5.1. Solvency. As of the JV Closing Date, after giving
effect to the Transactions and the incurrence by GPI of the indebtedness pursuant hereto, (a) the fair value of the property of GPI and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is greater than the total amount of liabilities, including,
without limitation, contingent liabilities, of GPI and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, (b) the present fair salable value of the assets of GPI and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is not less than the amount that will be
required to pay the probable liability of GPI and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, on its debts as they become absolute and matured, (c) GPI and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, does not intend to, and does not believe that
it will, incur debts or liabilities beyond its ability to pay as such debts and liabilities mature, and (d) GPI and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is not engaged in business or a transaction, and is not about to engage in business
or a transaction, for which the property of GPI and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, would constitute an unreasonably small amount of capital. 

5.2. Existence. GPI (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization, (b) has the requisite power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, except to the extent that
the failure to do so would have a Material Adverse Effect, and (c) is duly qualified as a foreign organization and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its
business requires such qualification, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

5.3. Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. GPI has the requisite power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and
perform this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to assume the payment and other obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents, and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and 

  
 -3- 

 the other Loan Documents, and to authorize the assumption of such indebtedness on the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by GPI. This Agreement and each other Loan Document constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of GPI, enforceable against GPI in
accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles
(whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). 
 5.4. No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement by GPI will not violate or conflict with any organizational or governing document of GPI. 
 5.5. No Default. No event
of default has occurred and is continuing under the Existing GPI Facilities. 
 5.6. Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. GPI is
not an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act. GPI is not subject to regulation under any Federal or State statute or regulation
(other than Regulation X of the Board) which limits its ability to assume the indebtedness to be assumed pursuant to this Agreement. Neither the Joint Venture nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities,
in the business of extending credit for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying Margin Stock and no part of the proceeds of any Loan hereunder will be used to buy or carry, or to extend credit to others to buy
or carry, any Margin Stock. 
 5.7. PATRIOT Act. To the extent applicable, the Joint Venture, GPI and each Material Subsidiary is in
compliance, in all material respects, with the Patriot Act. 
 5.8. Transaction Agreement Representations. Each of the representations
and warranties made by GPI or any of its affiliates in the Transaction Agreement that are material to the interests of the Lenders (but only to the extent that International Paper would have the right to terminate its obligations under the
Transaction Agreement, or to decline to consummate the Transactions (as defined in the Transaction Agreement), as a result of a breach of such representations), is true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects if otherwise already
qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect) on and as of the JV Closing Date as if made on and as of such date, except for any such representation or warranty that expressly relates solely to an earlier date, in which case such
representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects if otherwise already qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect) on and as of such earlier date. 

6. Representations and Warranties of International Paper. International Paper represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that:

 6.1. Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. International Paper has the requisite power and authority, and the legal right,
to make, deliver and perform this Agreement, and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by International Paper and
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of International Paper, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). 

  
 -4- 

 6.2. No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by
International Paper will not violate or conflict with any organizational or governing document of International Paper. 
 7. Further
Assurances. The parties hereto agree to execute and deliver such other instruments and documents and to take such other actions as any party hereto may reasonably request in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

8. Notices. Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone, all notices and other
communications required to be given or made to GPI under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail, or sent
by telecopier to the address, telecopier number, electronic mail address specified on Schedule A, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone shall be made to the telephone number specified on
Schedule A. 
 9. Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by GPI, International Paper and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall release GPI from this Agreement (except as
expressly provided herein) or limit GPI’s liability in respect of this Agreement, without the written consent of each Lender. 
 10.
General. This Agreement is a Loan Document. This Agreement, the IP Guarantee, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all
current and prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, with respect to such subject matter. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. The
invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other term or provision hereof, and any invalid or unenforceable provision shall be modified so as to be enforced to the maximum
extent of its validity or enforceability. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, which together shall constitute one instrument, and shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns, including as such successors and assigns all holders of any Obligation. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 2. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF LOANS 

2.1 The Loans. (a) Continuation of Loans. The parties agree that the Existing Term Loans are “Loans” under this
Agreement on the Effective Date. Loans that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, as further provided herein, and may not be converted into a currency other than Dollars. 

(b) Notes. Upon the request of any Lender to the Borrower made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall
execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans to the Borrower. Each Lender may attach schedules to a Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount,
currency and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 
 2.2 Conversions and Continuations of Loans. 

(a) Conversions and Continuations of Loans. Each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation
of Eurocurrency Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by: (A) telephone or (B) a Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must

  
 35 

 Posting Version 12/7/17 

 

 
be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Loan Notice. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. three Business Days prior
to the requested date of any conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans or of any conversion of Eurocurrency Loans to Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that if the Borrower wishes to request Eurocurrency Loans having an
Interest Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period”, the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. four Business Days prior
to the requested date of such conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of
them. Not later than 1:00 p.m. three Business Days before the requested date of such conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower (which notice may be by telephone)
whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Lenders. Each conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans and each conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple
of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Loans, (ii) the
requested date of the conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be converted or continued, (iv) the Type to which existing Loans are to be converted and (v) if
applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable
Loans shall be made or continued as, converted to, Eurocurrency Loans with an Interest Period of one month. Any such automatic conversion to, or automatic continuation as, Eurocurrency Loans with an Interest Period of one month shall be effective as
of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Loans. If the Borrower requests a conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest
Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. 
 (b) Except as otherwise provided herein, a
Eurocurrency Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default described in subsection 9(a) or 9(f), no Loans may be converted to or
continued as Eurocurrency Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders. During the existence of an Event of Default, other than those Events of Default described in subsection 9(a) or 9(f), the Required Lenders may require that no
Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders. 
 (c) Notice of
Change in Rates. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans
are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

 (d) Interest Periods. After giving effect to all conversions of Loans
from one Type to the other and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than twelve Interest Periods in effect. 

2.3 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. 

(a) Repayment of Loans. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders the principal
amount of the Loans on the dates and in the principal amounts (subject to reduction as provided in subsection 4.2) set forth below; provided that the final principal installment of the Loans shall be paid on the Termination Date (or
such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 9) and in any event shall be in an amount equal to the principal amount of all Loans outstanding on such date.

an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including, without limitation, the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time
to time under this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the

 Posting Version 12/7/17 

 

 
Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of demonstrable error. The Administrative Agent shall maintain
the Register pursuant to subsection 11.6(c), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan hereunder, the Type thereof and each Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (ii) the
amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each
Lender’s share thereof. The entries made in the Register shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded absent
demonstrable error; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to
repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 3.
[RESERVED] 
 SECTION 4. GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LOANS 

4.1 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurocurrency Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with
respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day. 

(b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for each day that it is outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for
such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day. 
 (c) [Reserved]. 

(d) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan, (ii) any interest payable thereon or (iii) any
other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is equal to the Default Rate from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment). While any Event of Default specified in Section 9(f) exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the
principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum equal at all times to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 

(e) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to

 (f) It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply strictly with
applicable usury laws; accordingly, it is stipulated and agreed that the aggregate of all amounts which constitute interest under applicable usury laws, whether contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received, in connection with the
indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement or any Notes, or any other document relating or referring hereto or thereto, now or hereafter existing, shall never exceed under any circumstance whatsoever the maximum amount of interest allowed by
applicable usury laws. 
 4.2 Optional and Mandatory Prepayments. (a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time, upon notice
to the Administrative Agent pursuant to delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Notice of Loan Prepayment, prepay the Loans made to it, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty; provided that such notice must be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than (i) 1:00 p.m. three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans and (ii) 1:00 p.m. on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans. Each such notice shall specify, in the case of any
prepayment of Loans, the date and amount of prepayment. Upon the receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due
and payable on the date specified therein, together with (if a Eurocurrency Loan is prepaid other than at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto) any amounts payable pursuant to subsection 4.10 and accrued interest to such date on
the amount prepaid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may rescind or postpone any notice of prepayment under this subsection 4.2(a) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of the Loans, which refinancing shall not
have been consummated or shall have otherwise been delayed. Partial prepayments of the Loans pursuant to this subsection shall be applied to the respective installments of principal thereof as directed by the Borrower in its prepayment notice (as
determined at the Borrower’s sole election and discretion). Partial prepayments pursuant to this subsection 4.2(a) shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof.

8.6(i), (iii) a Recovery Event occurs or (iv) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall enter into a Sale and Leaseback Transaction, then, in each case, the Borrower shall prepay, in accordance with subsection 4.2(d) but subject
to subsection 4.2(c) below, the Loans in an amount equal to (x) in the case of the incurrence of any such Indebtedness, 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof, (y) in the case of any such Asset Sale or Recovery Event, 100% of the Net
Cash Proceeds thereof minus any Reinvested Amounts in accordance with the terms thereof, and (z) in the case of any such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof minus any Reinvested Amounts, in each case with such
prepayment to be made on the Business Day following the date of receipt of any such Net Cash Proceeds (except, in each case, as provided in subsection 4.2(g) and except that, in the case of clauses (y) and (z), if any such Net Cash
Proceeds are eligible to be reinvested in accordance with the definition of the term “Reinvested Amount” in subsection 1.1 and the Borrower has not elected to reinvest such proceeds, such prepayment to be made on the earlier of
(1) the date on which the certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to such effect is delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with such definition and (2) the last day of the period within which a certificate setting
forth such election is required to be delivered in accordance with such definition). Nothing in this paragraph (b) shall limit the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders set forth in Section 9.

 (c) To the extent provided in the documentation applicable thereto, the term
loans under the Existing GPI Facilities or other pari passu Indebtedness incurred pursuant to subsection 8.2(e)(ii) or (e)(iii) may require prepayments from the Net Cash Proceeds from events triggering prepayments pursuant to
subsection 4.2(b) above, in which case such prepayment shall be on an up to pro rata basis with the Loans then outstanding. In such case the amount of the prepayment required by subsection 4.2(b) required to be applied to the Loans
shall be reduced by the portion of Net Cash Proceeds required to make corresponding mandatory prepayments of the term loans under the Existing GPI Facilities and any other pari passu Indebtedness incurred pursuant to subsection 8.2(e)(ii) or
(e)(iii) then outstanding that requires such corresponding mandatory prepayment. 
 (d) Subject to subsection
4.2(c) above, prepayments pursuant to subsection 4.2(b) shall be applied to prepay Loans pro rata to the respective installments of principal thereof (excluding from such calculation the final payment due at maturity);
provided that any such payment may, at the option of the Borrower, be first applied to the installments thereof due in the next twelve months and, thereafter, the remainder of such prepayment shall be allocated and applied pro
rata (excluding from such calculation the final payment due at maturity). 
 (e) Amounts prepaid pursuant to
subsection 4.2(a), or 4.2(b) may not be reborrowed. 
 (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
subsection 4.2, if at any time any prepayment of the Loans pursuant to subsection 4.2(b), or 4.2(g) would result, after giving effect to the procedures set forth in this Agreement, in the Borrower incurring breakage costs under
subsection 4.10 as a result of Eurocurrency Loans being prepaid other than on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, then, the Borrower may, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in
its sole discretion, initially deposit a portion (up to 100%) of the amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of such Eurocurrency Loans with the Administrative Agent (which deposit must be equal in amount to the amount of such
Eurocurrency Loans not immediately prepaid) to be held as security for the obligations of the Borrower to make such prepayment pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,
with such cash collateral to be directly applied upon the first occurrence thereafter of the last day of an Interest Period with respect to such Eurocurrency Loans (or such earlier date or dates as shall be requested by the Borrower);
provided that, such unpaid Eurocurrency Loans shall continue to bear interest in accordance with subsection 4.1 until such unpaid Eurocurrency Loans or the related portion of such Eurocurrency Loans, as the case may be, have or has
been prepaid.

 (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subsection 4.2(b),
4.2(d) or 4.6, with respect to the amount of any mandatory prepayment described in subsection 4.2 (such amount, the “Prepayment Amount”), at any time when the Prepayment Amount is not sufficient to repay the
principal amount of the Loans in full, the Borrower will, in lieu of applying such amount to the prepayment of Loans, as provided in subsection 4.2(b) or 4.2(d) above, on the date specified in this subsection 4.2 for such
prepayment, give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) thereof and the Administrative Agent shall prepare and provide to each Lender a notice (each, a “Prepayment Option Notice”) as described
below. As promptly as practicable after receiving such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent will send to each Lender a Prepayment Option Notice, which shall be in the form of Exhibit F, and shall include an offer by the Borrower
to prepay on the date (each a “Prepayment Date”) that is five Business Days after the date of the Prepayment Option Notice, the Loans of such Lender in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Prepayment
Amount (the “Individual Prepayment Amount”). In the event any such Lender desires to accept the Borrower’s offer in whole or in part, such Lender shall so advise the Administrative Agent by return notice no later than the close
of business two Business Days after the date of such notice from the Administrative Agent, which return notice shall also include any amount of such Lender’s Individual Prepayment Amount such Lender does not wish to receive. If any Lender does
not respond to the Administrative Agent within the allotted time or indicate the amount of the Individual Prepayment Amount it does not wish to receive, such Lender will be deemed to have accepted the Borrower’s offer in whole and shall receive
100% of its Individual Prepayment Amount. On the Prepayment Date the Borrower shall prepay the Prepayment Amount, and (i) the aggregate amount thereof necessary to prepay that portion of the outstanding relevant Loans in respect of which such
Lenders have accepted prepayment as described above shall be applied to the prepayment of the Loans, and (ii) the aggregate amount (if any) equal to the portion of the Prepayment Amount not accepted by the relevant Lenders shall be returned to
the Borrower. The Borrower may, but shall not be obligated to, make a voluntary prepayment of the Loans pursuant to subsection 4.2(a) with that portion of the Prepayment Amount not accepted by the relevant Lenders. 

4.3 Administrative Agent’s Fee; Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the administrative
agency fee as set forth in the letter agreement between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
 4.4 Computation of Interest and
Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Margin. (a) Interest (other than interest in respect of Base Rate Loans) and fees shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days
elapsed; and interest in respect of Base Rate Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The
Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the affected Lenders of each determination of a Eurocurrency Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency
Reserve Percentage shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the affected Lenders of the effective date and
the amount of each such change in interest rate.

 (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of demonstrable error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower or any Lender, deliver to the Borrower
or such Lender a statement showing in reasonable detail the calculations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to subsection 4.1. 

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if, as a result of any restatement of or other
adjustment to the financial statements of the Borrower or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and
(ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
applicable Lenders promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without
further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This
subsection 4.4(c) shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, otherwise available hereunder. The Borrower’s obligations under this subsection 4.4(c) shall survive the repayment of all
Obligations hereunder. 
 4.5 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the
Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the
Eurocurrency Rate with respect to any Loan the interest rate of which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate (the “Affected Eurocurrency Rate”) for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or
telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (a) any Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars the rate of interest applicable to which is based on the Affected
Eurocurrency Rate requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans and (b) any outstanding Loans denominated in Dollars, as applicable, that were to have been converted on the first day of such
Interest Period to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Eurocurrency Rate shall be converted to or continued as Base Rate Loans, in each case, the interest rate on which Base Rate
Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate in the event of a determination with respect to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate. If any such repayment
occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect to such affected Eurocurrency Loan, the Borrower shall pay to each of the Lenders such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection 4.10.
Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Eurocurrency Rate shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the
right to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Eurocurrency Rate, and the utilization of the Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended.

  
 42 

 Posting Version 12/7/17 

 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination
described in this section, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower and the Required Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Eurocurrency
Rate, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to such Loans until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to such Loans under the first sentence of this subsection, (2) the
Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge
interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrower written notice thereof. 

4.6 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. (a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower
shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff (other than with respect to Taxes which shall be governed solely by subsections 4.8 and 4.9). Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and
in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. The
Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of any payment hereunder for the account of the Lenders in like funds as received by wire transfer to such
Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by
the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 

(b) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made
such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to
repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment
to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

 Posting Version 12/7/17 

 

 A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with
respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent demonstrable error. 
 (c)
Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to subsection 11.5(b) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment
under subsection 11.5(b) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or to
make its payment under subsection 11.5(b). 
 4.7 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein but subject to
subsection 4.8(c), if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof occurring after the Effective Date shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Loans whose
interest is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate as contemplated by this Agreement (“Affected Eurocurrency Loans”), (a) such Lender shall promptly give written notice of such circumstances to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, which notice shall be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist, (b)(i) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Affected Eurocurrency Loans, continue Affected Eurocurrency Loans as such and to convert a Base
Rate Loan to an Affected Eurocurrency Loan shall forthwith be cancelled and, until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain such Affected Eurocurrency Loans, such Lender shall then have a commitment only to
make a Base Rate Loan (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate) when an
Affected Eurocurrency Loan is requested, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base
Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, and (c) such
Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Affected Eurocurrency Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined
by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate) on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any
such conversion or prepayment of an Affected Eurocurrency Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required
pursuant to subsection 4.10. 
 4.8 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in
the interpretation or application thereof applicable to any Lender, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case made
subsequent to the Effective Date (or, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender): 

  
 44 

 Posting Version 12/7/17 

 

 (i) shall subject such Lender to any Taxes of any kind whatsoever with
respect to any Loans made by it or its obligation to make Loans, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for (A) Non-Excluded Taxes covered by subsection
4.9, (B) Taxes described in clauses (C) through (E) of subsection 4.9(b) and (C) Connection Income Taxes); 

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against
assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the
Eurocurrency Rate hereunder (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurocurrency Rate); or 
 (iii) shall impose on
such Lender any other condition (excluding any Tax of any kind whatsoever); 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such
Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurocurrency Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, upon notice to the
Borrower from such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, in accordance herewith, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount
receivable with respect to such Eurocurrency Loans, provided that, in any such case, the Borrower may elect to convert Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender hereunder to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least one
Business Day’s notice of such election, in which case the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon demand, without duplication, amounts theretofore required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to this subsection 4.8(a) and such
amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection 4.10. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Borrower, through the Administrative
Agent, certifying (x) that one of the events described in this paragraph (a) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the increased cost or reduced amount resulting from such event and
(z) as to the additional amount demanded by such Lender and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Lender, through the
Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy
or liquidity requirements or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements (whether or not
having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority, in each case, made subsequent to the Effective Date (or, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender), does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such
Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such 

  
 45 

 Posting Version 12/7/17 

 

 
corporation could have achieved but for such change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity
requirements) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within ten Business Days after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor certifying
(x) that one of the events described in this paragraph (b) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the reduction of the rate of return on capital resulting from such event and (z) as
to the additional amount or amounts demanded by such Lender or corporation and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or
corporation for such reduction. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.
This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of Section 4.7 and this
Section 4.8, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or
directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in
each case be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. 
 4.9 Taxes. 

(a) Except as provided below in this subsection or as required by applicable law, all payments made by ore on account of any obligation of any
Loan Party under this Agreement and any other Loan Document, and all payments made by any other Loan Party under any Loan Document, shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future
income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties
applicable thereto (“Taxes”). If any applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Administrative Agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment then the applicable withholding
agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding. 
 (b) If any applicable withholding agent shall be required by any applicable
Laws to withhold or deduct any Taxes (including Other Taxes) from any payment under any Loan Document, then (i) the applicable withholding agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required, (ii) the
applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws, and (iii) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of any such
Taxes, including all Other Taxes (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, “Non-Excluded
Taxes”), the amounts so payable by the 

  
 46 

 Posting Version 12/7/17 

 

 
applicable Loan Party shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the applicable Lender (or in the case of amounts received by the Administrative Agent for its own account, the
Administrative Agent)(after deduction or withholding of all Non-Excluded Taxes by the applicable withholding agent) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified
in this Agreement. However, for purposes of clause (iii) above and this Agreement, Non-Excluded Taxes shall not include (A) Taxes measured by or imposed upon the net income of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender or its applicable lending office, or any branch or affiliate thereof, and all franchise Taxes, branch profits Taxes, Taxes on doing business or Taxes measured by or imposed upon the capital, net profits or net worth of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender (or, in the case of a flow-through entity, any of its beneficial owners) or its applicable lending office, or any branch or affiliate thereof, in each case imposed by the jurisdiction under the laws of which the
Administrative Agent or such Lender (or, in the case of a flow-through entity, any of its beneficial owners), applicable lending office, branch or affiliate is organized or is located, or in which its principal executive office is located, or any
nation within which such jurisdiction is located or any political subdivision thereof; (B) Other Connection Taxes; (C) in the case of a Lender, U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of such Lender
with respect to an applicable interest in a Loan pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which (I) such Lender acquires such interest in the Loan (other than pursuant to an assignment request by the Borrower under subsection 4.11(d))
or (II) such Lender changes its applicable lending office, except, in each case, to the extent that, pursuant to this subsection 4.9(b) or subsection 4.10, amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable either to such
Lender’s assignor immediately before such Lender became a party hereto or to such Lender immediately before it changed its applicable lending office; (D) Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of
subsection 4.9(e); and (E) any U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed pursuant to FATCA. 
 (c) Without limiting the foregoing,
the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 

(d) (i) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by any Loan Party, reasonably promptly thereafter
the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the applicable Loan Party showing payment thereof if such
receipt is obtainable. If any Loan Party fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required
documentary evidence, or any of the Administrative Agent or any Lender pays or withholds or deducts any Non-Excluded Taxes, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and shall make
payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any such Non-Excluded Taxes and any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender as a result of any such failure, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such
payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall, and does
hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any 

  
 47 

 Posting Version 12/7/17 

 

 
reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to subsection 4.9(d)(ii) below. Upon making such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall
be subrogated to the rights of the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 4.9(d)(ii) below against the applicable Lender (other than the right of set off pursuant to the last sentence of subsection 4.9(d)(ii)). 

(e) (ii) Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand
therefor, (x) the Administrative Agent against any Non-Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Non-Excluded Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (y) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply
with the provisions of subsection 11.6(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, as applicable, against any Taxes other than
Non-Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with
respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any
amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). 
 (f) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly
completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine
whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. 
 (ii) Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, 
 (A) each Lender shall: 

(1) on or before the date of such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
(x) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN, as applicable (certifying
that it is a resident of the applicable country within the meaning of the income tax treaty between the United States and that country), Form W-8ECI or Form W-9, or
successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying that it is entitled to

(2) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of any such form or certification on or before the date that any
such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certificate previously delivered by it to the Borrower; and 

(3) obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent and agree, to the extent legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by the Borrower, to provide to the Borrower (for the benefit of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) such other forms as may be reasonably
required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from withholding with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Notes; or 

(B) in the case of any Foreign Lender that is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, such Lender
shall: 
 (1) represent to the Borrower (for the benefit of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) that it is not a bank within the
meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code; 
 (2) agree to furnish to the Borrower on or before the date on which such Foreign Lender
becomes a Lender under this Agreement, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, (x) two certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit C (any such certificate a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two
accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN, as applicable, or successor
applicable form certifying to such Lender’s legal entitlement at the date of such certificate to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the provisions of Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments to

Administrative Agent two accurate and complete original signed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY or successor applicable form; and 

(x) with respect to each beneficiary or member of such Lender that is a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, on

W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN, as applicable (certifying that such beneficiary or member is a resident of the applicable country within the
meaning of the income tax treaty between the United States and that country), Form W-8ECI or Form W-9, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, in each case
certifying that each such beneficiary or member is entitled to receive all payments under this Agreement and any Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and such other forms, documentation or certifications,

to provide to the Borrower (for the benefit of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) such other forms as may be reasonably required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Lender (or beneficiary or member) to an exemption from
withholding with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Notes; and 
 (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document
would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code and any regulations
thereunder, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation
prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes
of this subclause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement and any regulations thereunder. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, anything to the contrary, no Lender shall be required to take any of the foregoing actions in this subsection
4.9(e) if any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred after the date such Person becomes a Lender hereunder (or a beneficiary or member in the circumstances described in subsection 4.9(e)(ii)(C) above, if later) which renders all
such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender (or such beneficiary or member) from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Each Person that
shall become a Lender or a Participant pursuant to subsection 11.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms, certifications and statements required pursuant to this subsection,
provided that in the case of a Participant the obligations of such Participant pursuant to this subsection 4.9(e) shall be determined as if such Participant were a Lender except that such Participant shall furnish all such required
forms, certifications and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased. 
 (g)
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to subsection 4.9(e) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

 (h) For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from
and after the Effective Date, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of
Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i). 
 (i) The agreements in this
subsection 4.9 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable
hereunder. 
 4.10 Indemnity. Other than with respect to Taxes (other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses of any kind arising from any non-Tax claim), which shall be governed solely by subsections 4.8 and 4.9, the Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each
Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur (other than through such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a conversion into or
continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment or conversion of Eurocurrency Loans after the
Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a payment or prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans or the conversion of Eurocurrency Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest
Period with respect thereto (including, without limitation, as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to subsection 11.1(d)). Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest
which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or converted, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or conversion or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the
applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Eurocurrency Loans provided
for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on
deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurocurrency market. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any amounts under the indemnity contained in this subsection 4.10, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the
Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, certifying (x) that one of the events described in clause (a), (b) or (c) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the loss or expense sustained
or incurred by such Lender as a consequence thereof and (z) as to the amount for which such Lender seeks indemnification hereunder and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any indemnification
pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the
Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 4.11 Certain Rules Relating to the Payment of Additional Amounts. (a) Upon the
request, and at the expense, of the Borrower, each Lender to which the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount pursuant to subsection 4.8 or 4.9, and any Participant in respect of whose participation such payment is required,
shall reasonably afford the Borrower the opportunity to contest, and reasonably cooperate with the Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Tax giving rise to such payment; provided
that (i) such Lender shall not be required to afford the Borrower the opportunity to so contest unless the Borrower shall have confirmed in writing to such Lender its obligation to pay such amounts pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the
Borrower shall reimburse such Lender for its reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements incurred in so cooperating with the Borrower in contesting the imposition of such
Non-Excluded Tax; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing no Lender shall be required to afford the Borrower the opportunity to contest, or cooperate with the Borrower in
contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Taxes, if such Lender in good faith determines that to do so would have an adverse effect on it. 

(b) If a Lender changes its applicable lending office (other than pursuant to paragraph (c) below) and the effect of such
change, as of the date of such change, would be to cause the Borrower to become obligated to pay any additional amount under subsection 4.8 or 4.9, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such additional amount. 

(c) If a condition or an event occurs which would, or would upon the passage of time or giving of notice, result in the payment
of any additional amount to any Lender by the Borrower pursuant to subsection 4.8 or 4.9, such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and shall take such steps as may reasonably be available to it to
mitigate the effects of such condition or event (which shall include efforts to rebook the Loans held by such Lender at another lending office, or through another branch or an affiliate, of such Lender); provided that such Lender shall not be
required to take any step that, in its reasonable judgment, would be materially disadvantageous to its business or operations or would require it to incur additional costs (unless the Borrower agrees to reimburse such Lender for the reasonable
incremental out-of-pocket costs thereof). 

(d) If the Borrower shall become obligated to pay additional amounts pursuant to subsection 4.8 or 4.9 and any
affected Lender shall not have promptly taken steps necessary to avoid the need for payments under subsection 4.8 or 4.9, the Borrower shall have the right, for so long as such obligation exists, (i) with the assistance of the
Administrative Agent, to seek one or more substitute Lenders reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to purchase the affected Loan, in whole or in part, at an aggregate price no less than such Loan’s principal
amount plus accrued interest, and assume the affected obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) upon at least four Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, to prepay the affected Loan, in whole or in part, subject to
subsection 4.10, without premium or penalty. In the case of the substitution of a Lender, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the affected Lender, and any substitute Lender shall execute and deliver an appropriately completed Assignment
and Assumption pursuant to subsection 11.6(b) to effect the assignment of rights to, and the assumption of obligations by, the substitute Lender; provided that any fees required to be paid by subsection 11.6(b) in connection
with such assignment shall be paid by the Borrower or the substitute Lender. In the case of a prepayment of an affected Loan, the amount specified in the notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together

  
 54 

 Posting Version 12/7/17 

 

 
with any accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. In the case of each of the substitution of a Lender and of the prepayment of an affected Loan, the Borrower shall first pay the
affected Lender any additional amounts owing under subsections 4.8 and 4.9 (as well as any other amounts then due and owing to such Lender, including, without limitation, any amounts under this subsection 4.11) prior to such
substitution or prepayment. 
 (e) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender receives a refund directly attributable to Taxes
for which the Borrower has made additional payments pursuant to subsection 4.8(a) or 4.9, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall promptly pay such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto
received from the relevant taxing authority) to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under subsection 4.8(a) or 4.9 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such
refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and without interest (other than as specified above);
provided, however, that the Borrower agrees promptly to return such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto due to the relevant taxing authority) (free of all Non-Excluded Taxes)
to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, upon receipt of a notice that such refund is required to be repaid to the relevant taxing authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event
will the Administrative Agent or applicable Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This subsection shall not be
construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 

(f) The obligations of a Lender or Participant under this subsection 4.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement
of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all amounts payable hereunder.

notes thereto and has not otherwise been disclosed in writing to the Lenders on or prior to the Effective Date. 
 5.2 No Change;

where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would not be reasonably expected to have a

5.4 Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the requisite power and authority, and the legal right, to make,
deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to incur the Loans hereunder, and each Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the
Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to incur the Loans on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any Notes. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other similar act by or in respect of,

executed and delivered by the Borrower, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party will be duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Loan Party. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Borrower, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party when executed and delivered will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except
as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by
proceedings in equity or at law). 
 5.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by any of the
Loan Parties, the Credit Extensions hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof (a) will not violate the certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other organizational or governing documents of any
Loan Party, (b) will not violate any other Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of such Loan Party in any respect that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (c) will not result in, or require, the

5.7 No Default. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual
Obligations in any respect which would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

5.8 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has good record and marketable title in fee simple to, or a
valid leasehold interest in, all its real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other property except, in each case, to the extent such lack of ownership would not constitute a Material Adverse Effect, and none of
such property is subject to any Lien, except for Liens permitted by subsection 8.3. The real properties listed on Schedule 5.8 together constitute all the real properties owned by a Loan Party as of the date hereof that are mortgaged
or required to be mortgaged under the Existing GPI Facilities.

and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, the use of such Intellectual Property by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person, except for such claims and infringements which in the aggregate, would not be reasonably
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

violation of any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of or applicable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

it has received notice made against it or any of its property (including, without limitation, the Mortgaged Properties) and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any
(i) taxes, fees or other charges with respect to which the failure to pay, in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) taxes, fees or other charges the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of Holding or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be); and no tax Lien has been filed, and no claim

relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. When (a) the actions specified in Schedule
3 to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement have been duly taken, (b) all applicable Instruments, Chattel Paper and Documents a security interest in which is perfected by possession have been delivered to, and/or are in the continued possession
of, the Administrative Agent, (c) all Deposit Accounts, Electronic Chattel Paper and Pledged Stock (each as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and to the extent required therein) a security interest in which is required to be or
is perfected by “control” (as described in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York from time to time) are under the “control” of the Administrative Agent and (d) the Mortgages have been duly
recorded, the security interests granted pursuant thereto shall constitute (to the extent described therein) a perfected security interest in, all right, title and interest of each pledgor or mortgagor (as applicable) party thereto in the Collateral
described therein with respect to such pledgor or mortgagor (as applicable). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, capitalized terms which are used in this subsection 5.14 and not defined in this Agreement are so used as

in the normal conduct of the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except as otherwise expressly permitted pursuant to subsection 8.5, provided that the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to
maintain any such rights, privileges or franchises, if the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and comply with all Contractual Obligations and Requirements of Law except to the extent that failure to
comply therewith, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

previously disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent that could result in liability under applicable Environmental Laws, unless the Borrower reasonably determines that the total Environmental Costs arising out of such condition, circumstance,

facilities and properties owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; and (iii) any proposed action to be taken by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to subject Holding or any of

$75,000,000 or to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Each notice pursuant to this subsection shall be accompanied by a statement of a

other than such orders or directives as to which an appeal or other appropriate contest is or has been timely and properly taken, is being diligently pursued in good faith, and as to which appropriate reserves have been established in accordance
with GAAP, and, if the effectiveness of such order or directive has not been stayed, the pendency of such appeal or other appropriate contest does not give rise to a Material Adverse Effect. 

(c) Maintain, update as appropriate, and implement in all material respects an ongoing program reasonably designed to ensure that all the
properties and operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are regularly and reasonably reviewed by competent professionals to identify and promote compliance with and to reasonably and prudently manage any liabilities or potential liabilities

Person and (ii) no such Lien shall be required to be granted as contemplated by this subsection 7.9 on any owned real property or fixtures the acquisition of which is financed, or is to be financed within any time period permitted by
subsection 8.2(g) or (h), in whole or in part through the incurrence of Indebtedness permitted by subsection 8.2(g) or (h), until such Indebtedness is repaid in full (and not refinanced as permitted by subsection
8.2(g) or (h)) or, as the case may be, the Borrower determines not to proceed with such financing or refinancing. In connection with any such grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, of a Lien of record

opinions, title insurance policies, environmental reports, certificates of insurance and other documents in connection with such grant of such Lien obtained by it in connection with the acquisition of such ownership rights in such real property or
as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request (in light of the value of such real property and the cost and availability of such surveys, opinions, title insurance policies, environmental reports, certificates and other documents and whether
the delivery of such surveys, opinions, title insurance policies, environmental reports, certificates and other documents would be customary in connection with such grant of such Lien in similar circumstances). Notwithstanding anything contained in
this Agreement to the contrary, no Mortgage shall be executed and delivered with respect to any real property unless and until each Lender (1) has received, at least twenty Business Days prior to such execution and delivery (or such lesser
period of time as may be permitted by such Lender), the documents described in the preceding clause (x) and such other documents as it may reasonably request to complete its flood insurance due diligence and (2) has confirmed to the
Administrative Agent that such Lender’s flood insurance due diligence and flood insurance compliance has been completed to its satisfaction.

is a Receivables Subsidiary, cause such new Domestic Subsidiary (A) to become a party to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and (B) at all times other than during any Collateral Release Period, and subject to the Intercreditor
Agreement, to take all actions reasonably deemed by the Administrative Agent to be necessary or advisable to cause the Lien created by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in such new Domestic Subsidiary’s Collateral to be duly perfected in
accordance with all applicable Requirements of Law, including, without limitation, the filing of financing statements in such jurisdictions as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent.

Subsidiary or a Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary), promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence, promptly (i) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a new pledge agreement or such amendments to the Guarantee and

provided in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) in the Capital Stock of such new Foreign Subsidiary that is owned by the Borrower or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries (other than a Receivables Subsidiary or a Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary)
(provided that in no event shall more than 65% of the Capital Stock of any such new Foreign Subsidiary be required to be so pledged and, provided, further, that no such pledge or security shall be required with respect to any non-Wholly Owned Foreign Subsidiary to the extent that the grant of such pledge or security interest would violate the terms of any agreements under which the Investment by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
was made therein) and (ii) to the extent reasonably deemed advisable by the Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent the certificates, if any, representing such Capital Stock, together with undated stock powers, executed and

expense, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause the execution, acknowledgement and delivery of, and thereafter register, file or record in an appropriate governmental office, any document or instrument reasonably deemed by the Administrative

as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon any Collateral Release Date (including after any re-pledge of the Collateral upon the Collateral
Re-Pledge Date pursuant to the proviso in this paragraph), then, upon the request of the Borrower, any Lien on the Collateral of any Loan Party granted to or held by the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the
Secured Parties) under any Loan Document shall be released and, upon such request, any Loan Party that is a party to any Security Document shall be released (collectively, the “Release”); provided that if any Release has
occurred, upon any Collateral Re-Pledge Date thereafter, then promptly (and in any event within 30 days or such longer period of time as the Administrative Agent determines in its reasonable discretion) after
such Debt Ratings become publicly released by such rating agencies, or sooner if the Borrower shall otherwise elect to do so, the Borrower shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to (i) take action (including the filing of Uniform Commercial
Code and other financing statements) that may be necessary or advisable in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent to vest in the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) valid and subsisting Liens on the Collateral
other than real property consistent in all material respects in scope, perfection and priority as those in effect prior to such release and pursuant to documentation substantially similar to such documentation in place on or after the Effective Date
in accordance with this subsection 7.9 and, in the case of any real property previously pledged as Mortgaged Property or real property acquired on or after the Collateral Release Date as to which a Lien would have been required to have been

of each other Person in such jurisdiction, in each case that are required in connection with the Loan Documents except to the extent the failure to maintain such authorizations, consents, approvals and licenses would not have a Material Adverse
Effect and would not be reasonably be expected to impair the joint and several liability of the Borrower with respect to the obligations of such Loan Party under the Loan Documents. 

7.11 Conditions Subsequent. Shall satisfy the items listed on Schedule 7.11 in accordance with the requirements thereof.

 SECTION 10. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 

10.1 Appointment and Authority. (a) Each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender, potential Hedge Bank and potential Cash
Management Bank) hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise
such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 10 are solely for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent”
herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) 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 as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. 

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of
the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender, potential Hedge Bank and potential Cash Management Bank) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and
enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as
“collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact
appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 10.5 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies
thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Section 10 and Section 11, as though such
co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under
the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. 
 10.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the
Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders”

to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent
hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

 Posting Version 12/7/17 

 

 (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any discretionary action that, in its reasonable opinion or the
reasonable opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any
Debtor Relief Law; and 
 (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty
to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
capacity. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the
request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in subsection 11.1
and Section 9) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach in bad faith as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative
Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender. 

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or
representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the
performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any
other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (v) the
satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 6 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 

10.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to
have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not
incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the 

  
 95 

 Posting Version 12/7/17 

 

 
making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other
experts selected by it with reasonable care, and shall not be liable to any Lender for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

10.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder
or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent with reasonable care; provided that no such delegation shall serve as a release of the
Administrative Agent from any of its responsibilities hereunder or as a waiver by the Borrower of any of its rights hereunder. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its
duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the
Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as
activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent
jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such
sub-agents. 
 10.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any
time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint
a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment or been consented
to by the Borrower, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such
time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) except for indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through
the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent (other 

  
 96 

 Posting Version 12/7/17 

 

 
than as provided in subsection 4.9(g) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring Administrative Agent of such resignation effective date), and
the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a
successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, the provisions of this Section 10 and subsection 11.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their
respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (i) while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation for as long as any of them
continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including (A) acting as collateral agent or otherwise holding any collateral security on behalf of any of the Lenders and (B) in respect of any actions taken in
connection with transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent. 
 10.7 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, none of the Other Representatives listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the
Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder. 
 10.8 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding. In case of the
pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, each of the Lenders agrees that the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan 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 Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans 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 Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under subsections 4.3 and 11.5) 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 Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due
for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel as provided herein, and any other amounts due the Administrative 

  
 97 

 Posting Version 12/7/17 

 

 
Agent under subsections 4.3 and 11.5. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf
of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. 

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the
Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition
vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any
similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent
(whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable
basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated
portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Capital Stock or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such
purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or
vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Capital Stock thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of
the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in clauses (i) through (viii) of subsection 11.1(a), (iii) the
Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Capital Stock
and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (iv) to the extent
that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the
amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Capital Stock and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the
Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

 10.9 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a
Lender, potential Hedge Bank and potential Cash Management Bank) irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent: 
 (a) to
release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon the occurrence of the Facility Termination Date, (ii) that is disposed or to be disposed as part of or in connection with any
disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with subsection 11.1, (iv) owned by a Guarantor upon release of such Guarantor from its Guarantor
Obligations pursuant to clause (b) below or (v) upon any Collateral Release Date as provided herein and pursuant to the Security Documents; 

(b) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under any Loan Document to which it is a party if such Person ceases to be a
Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; 
 (c) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or
held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted hereunder; and 

(d) to take any other action required to be taken by it under the terms of any Security Document. 

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority
to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party pursuant to this subsection 10.9. In each case as specified in
this subsection 10.9, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral
from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in each case in accordance
with the terms of the Loan Documents and this subsection 10.9. 
 10.10 Other Secured Parties. Without limitation of any of the
terms set forth in Section 8 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, no Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank (other than the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) who obtains the benefit of the provisions of subsection
6.5 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or
object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly
provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall only be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangement have
been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements to the extent the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation
as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made

(v) no fee or other compensation is being paid directly to the Administrative Agent or any Arranger or any their respective
Affiliates for investment advice (as opposed to other services) in connection with the Loans or this Agreement. 
 (c) Each
of the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers hereby informs the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans and this Agreement, (ii) may

one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (each such other Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may, on ten Business Days’ prior written
notice to the Administrative and the Non-Consenting Lender, (x) repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such

fee and any other costs and expenses to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any
obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that the applicable assignee shall have agreed to the applicable change, waiver, discharge or termination of this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents;
and provided, further, that all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Non-Consenting Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to
such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Assumption. In connection with any such replacement under this subsection 11.1(d), if the
Non-Consenting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement within a period of
time deemed reasonable by the Administrative Agent after the later of (x) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation and (y) the date as of which all
obligations of the Borrower owing to the Non-Consenting Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such
Non-Consenting Lender, then such Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation as
of such date and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Non-Consenting Lender.

notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Section by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its or their
discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

 Unless the Administrative Agent and the Borrower otherwise agree, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications to Persons other than the Borrower or any other Loan Party posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon
the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website
address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii), if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the
opening of business on the next business day for the recipient. 
 (c) The Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS
IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE
BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM
VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have
any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s
transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party or any of its Related Parties; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for indirect,
special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages). 
 (d) Change of Address,
Etc. Each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address,
telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications 

  
 106 

 Posting Version 12/7/17 

 

 
hereunder by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has
on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, telecopier number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. Furthermore, each
Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to
enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made
available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to Holding, the Borrower or their respective securities for
purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws. 
 (e) Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders.
The Administrative Agent and the Lenders, if acting in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the
Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied
from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice
purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative
Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 
 11.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to
exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Loan Party, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents 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. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and
provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 9 for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own
behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with subsection 11.10
(subject to the terms of 

  
 107 

 Posting Version 12/7/17 

 

 
subsection 11.7), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party
under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise
ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to subsection 11.7, any Lender
may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders. 

11.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in the other Loan Documents (or
in any amendment, modification or supplement hereto or thereto) and in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or such other Loan Documents shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans hereunder. 

11.5 Payment of Expenses and Taxes. 

(a) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower agrees (i) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of, and any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification
to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including the monitoring of the Collateral), including,
without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of one primary counsel (and such necessary and appropriate local counsel) for the Administrative Agent and such additional counsel retained with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable costs and expenses incurred after the Effective Date in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights
under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel to the Administrative Agent (and such necessary and appropriate local counsel) and one
counsel for each other class of Lenders (in each case, subject to additional counsel as a result of actual or perceived conflicts of interest), and any reasonable Environmental Costs incurred by any of them arising out of or in any way relating to
any Loan Party or any property in which any Loan Party has had any interest at any time, (iii) to pay, and indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Other Representatives from and against, any and all recording
and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other similar taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery,
administration and enforcement of, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (iv) to pay, and indemnify and hold
harmless each Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Other Representatives (and their respective Affiliates and the respective directors, trustees, officers, employees, controlling persons, agents, successors and assigns of each Lender, the
Administrative Agent, the Other

Representatives and their respective Affiliates) (each an “indemnified party”) from and against, any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (whether or not caused by any such Person’s own negligence (other than gross negligence as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction) and including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other
documents (regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any such Other Representative or any Lender is a party to the litigation or other proceeding giving rise thereto and regardless of whether any such litigation or other proceeding is brought
by the Borrower or any other Person), including, without limitation, any of the foregoing relating to the violation of, noncompliance with, or liability under, any Environmental Laws or any orders, requirements or demands of Governmental Authorities
related thereto applicable to the operations of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the facilities and properties owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (but excluding proceedings and claims solely between
or among the Lenders which involve no act or omission of the Borrower (but including proceedings brought by any Lender against the Administrative Agent or any of the Arrangers acting in its capacity as such)) (all the foregoing in this clause (iv),
collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”), provided that the Borrower shall not have any obligation hereunder to the Administrative Agent, any such Other Representative or any Lender with respect to Environmental Costs or
indemnified liabilities arising from (x) the breach in bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified party (or any of its subsidiaries or any of its or their respective directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents,
successors and assigns) as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (y) claims made or legal proceedings commenced against any indemnified party by any securityholder or creditor thereof arising out
of and based upon rights afforded any such securityholder or creditor solely in its capacity as such (and not arising out of any act or omission of Holding or any of its Subsidiaries). The Borrower shall not be responsible for the fees and expenses
of more than one primary counsel (and one local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction) in each claim or proceeding (or series of related claims or proceedings) for which indemnification is sought by the indemnified parties except, in each case,
with respect to additional counsel for the indemnified parties as a result of an actual or perceived conflict of interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the Borrower shall have no obligation
under this subsection 11.5 to the Administrative Agent, any Other Representative or any Lender with respect to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any
Governmental Authority (other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim). The agreements in this subsection shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other
amounts payable hereunder.

 (b) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any
reason fails to pay any amount required under subsection 11.5(a) to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender
severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the aggregate Total Outstandings at such time) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage,
liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the
foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent). The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection 11.5(b) are subject to the provisions of subsection 4.6(c). 

11.6 Successors and Assigns. (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower shall not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection 11.6(b), (ii) by way of
participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection 11.6(d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection 11.6(g) (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 11.6(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Agreement. 
 (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 

(i) Minimum Amounts. 

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

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate principal outstanding balance of
the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the
Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than, $1,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default described in subsection 9(a) or 9(f) has occurred and is continuing, the
Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to 

  
 110 

 Posting Version 12/7/17 

 

 
be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to
a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met; 

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans assigned; 
 (iii) Required
Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (b)(i)(B) of this subsection and, in addition: 

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an
Event of Default described in subsection 9(a) or 9(f) (with respect to the Borrower only) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved
Fund or (3) in the case of any Assignment and Assumption entered into on or prior to the Effective Date, such assignment is to an Eligible Assignee previously agreed in writing by the Administrative Agent and IPC or the Borrower;
provided that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and 

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for
assignments in respect of any Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund. 
 (iv)
Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided,
however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Administrative Questionnaire. 
 (v) No Assignment to the Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower
or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries. 
 (vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment
shall be made to a natural person. 
 (vii) No Assignment Resulting in Additional
Non-Excluded Taxes. No such assignment shall be made to any Person that, through its Lending Offices, is not capable of lending to the Borrower without the imposition of any additional Non-Excluded Taxes.

 Posting Version 12/7/17 

 

 (viii) Notes. The assigning Lender shall deliver all Notes evidencing
the assigned interests to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall deliver such Notes to the Borrower). 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 11.6(c), from and after the effective
date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement and shall make all acknowledgments, representations and warranties required of a Lender hereunder, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be
subject to the obligations under and entitled to the benefits of subsections 4.8, 4.9, 4.10 and 11.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request and upon
surrender by the assigning Lender of all Notes evidencing the assigned interests, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this
Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection 11.6(d). 

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a
non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders, and the principal amounts of the Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee, the processing and recordation fee referred to in subsection (b)(iv) of this subsection 11.6 and any written consent to such assignment required by subsection (b)(iii) of this subsection 11.6, the
Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection
by the Borrower and any Lender (with respect to its own Loans only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Loans; provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such 

  
 112 

 Posting Version 12/7/17 

 

 
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to
deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (iv) the granting of such participation shall not require that any cost or expense of
any kind at any time be borne by the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof and shall not result in any increase in any payment of any kind to be made by the Borrower or any Subsidiary under any Loan Document unless the Borrower expressly agrees in
writing to bear such cost, expense or increase in payment in connection with the relevant participation. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender
will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clause (ii) of the first proviso to subsection 11.1(a) that directly affects such Participant (it being understood that
(i) any vote to rescind any acceleration made pursuant to Section 9 of amounts owing with respect to the Loans and other Obligations and (ii) any modifications of the provisions relating to amounts, timing or
application of prepayments of Loans and other Obligations shall not require the approval of such Participant). Subject to subsection 11.6(e), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsections
4.8, 4.9 and 4.10 (subject to the requirements of those sections, including timely delivery of forms pursuant to subsection 4.9) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant
to subsection 11.6(b). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address
of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall
have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to
any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. No Loan Party shall be obligated to make any greater payment under
subsection 4.8 or 4.9 than it would have been obligated to make in the absence of any participation, unless the sale of such participation is made upon the request or with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Borrower
expressly waives the benefit of this provision at the time of such participation. Any Participant that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof shall not be entitled to the benefits of subsection
4.9 unless such Participant complies with subsection 4.9(e) and provides the forms and certificates referenced therein to the Lender that granted such participation.

 (f) Voting Participants. Notwithstanding anything in this
subsection 11.6 to the contrary, any Farm Credit Lender that (i) has purchased a participation from any Lender that is a Farm Credit Lender in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 on or after the Effective Date, (ii) is, by written
notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (a “Voting Participant Notification”), designated by the selling Lender as being entitled to be accorded the rights of a voting participant hereunder (any Farm Credit Lender so
designated being called a “Voting Participant”) and (iii) receives the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to become a Voting Participant, shall be entitled to vote (and the voting rights of the
selling Lender shall be correspondingly reduced), on a dollar for dollar basis, as if such Voting Participant were a Lender, on any matter requiring or allowing a Lender to provide or withhold its consent, or to otherwise vote on any proposed
action, in each case, in lieu of the vote of the selling Lender; provided, however, that if such Voting Participant has at any time failed to fund any portion of its participation when required to do so and notice of such failure has
been delivered by the selling Lender to the Administrative Agent, then until such time as all amounts of its participation required to have been funded have been funded and notice of such funding has been delivered by the selling Lender to the
Administrative Agent, such Voting Participant shall not be entitled to exercise its voting rights pursuant to the terms of this subsection 11.6(f), and the voting rights of the selling Lender shall not be correspondingly reduced by the amount
of such Voting Participant’s participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Farm Credit Lender designated as a Voting Participant on Schedule 11.6(f) shall be a Voting Participant without delivery of a Voting Participant Notification
and without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. To be effective, each Voting Participant Notification shall, with respect to any Voting Participant, (A) state the full name of such Voting Participant, as well
as all contact information required of an assignee as set forth in Exhibit D, (B) state the dollar amount of the participation purchased and (C) include such other information as may be required by the Administrative Agent. The
selling Lender and the Voting Participant shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower within three Business Days of any termination of, or reduction or increase in the amount of, such participation and shall promptly upon request of the
Administrative Agent update or confirm there has been no change in the information set forth in Schedule 11.6(f) or delivered in connection with any Voting Participant Notification. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled
to conclusively rely on information provided by a Lender identifying itself or its participant as a Farm Credit Bank without verification thereof and may also conclusively rely on the information set forth in Schedule 11.6(f), delivered in
connection with any Voting Participant Notification or otherwise furnished pursuant to this subsection 11.6(f) and, unless and until notified thereof in writing by the selling Lender, may assume that there have been no changes in the identity
of Voting Participants, the dollar amount of participations, the contact information of the participants or any other information furnished to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection 11.6(f). The voting rights
hereunder are solely for the benefit of the Voting Participants and shall not inure to any assignee or participant of a Voting Participant.

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

(h) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and
words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed
signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic
Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 
 11.7 Sharing of Payments
by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a
proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative
Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with
the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that: 

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is
recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and 

(ii) the provisions of this subsection shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to
and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as
to which the provisions of this subsection shall apply). 
 The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may
effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if
such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

 11.8 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and
Other Lenders. Each Lender represents and warrants to each other party hereto that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and its own decision to enter into this Agreement.
Each Lender also acknowledges and agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time
deem appropriate, continue to make its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or
based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Each Lender represents to each other party hereto that it is a bank, savings and loan association or other similar savings
institution, insurance company, investment fund or company or other financial institution which makes or acquires commercial loans in the ordinary course of its activities, that it is participating hereunder as a Lender for such commercial purposes,
and that it has the knowledge and experience to be and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of being a Lender hereunder. 
 11.9
Judgment. (a) If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that
the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

 (b) The obligations of the Borrower in respect of this Agreement and any Note due to any party hereto or any holder of any
bond shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “judgment currency”) other than the currency in which the sum originally due to such party or such holder is denominated (the “original currency”), be
discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such party or such holder (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in the judgment currency such party or such holder (as the case may be) may in accordance
with normal banking procedures purchase the original currency with the judgment currency; if the amount of the original currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such party or such holder (as the case may be) in the original
currency, the Borrower agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such party or such holder (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the original currency so purchased exceeds the sum
originally due to any party to this Agreement or any holder of Notes (as the case may be), such party or such holder (as the case may be), agrees to remit to the Borrower, such excess. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 11.10 Right of Set-Off. The Borrower hereby
irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates at any time and from time to time without notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to
the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under subsection 9(a) so long as any amount remains unpaid after it becomes due and payable by the Borrower or any other Loan Party
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to set-off and appropriate and apply against any such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency,
and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such other Lender or any such Affiliate to
or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, or any part thereof in such amounts as the Administrative Agent, such Lender or any such Affiliate may elect. The Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates shall
notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly of any such set-off and the application made by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or any such Affiliate of the proceeds thereof; provided
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates under this
subsection 11.10 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Administrative Agent, such Lender or any such Affiliate may have. 

11.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate
counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be delivered to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement. 
 11.12 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 11.13 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents represent the entire agreement of each of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any of the Loan
Parties, the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents. 

11.14 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY NOTES AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY NOTES SHALL
BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

added thereto or imposed, Grantor shall pay and discharge all taxes, charges and assessments of every kind and nature, all charges for any easement or agreement maintained for the benefit of any of the Real Estate, all general and special
assessments, levies, permits, inspection and license fees, all water and sewer rents and charges, vault taxes and all other public charges even if unforeseen or extraordinary, imposed upon or assessed against or which may become a lien on any of the
Real Estate, or arising in respect of the occupancy, use or possession thereof, together with any penalties or interest on any of the foregoing (all of the foregoing are collectively referred 

  
 4 

 
to herein as the “Impositions”), except where (i) the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, and (ii) the Grantor has
set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP. Upon request by Grantee, Grantor shall within 30 days after the request of Grantee, deliver to Grantee evidence reasonably acceptable to Grantee showing the
payment of any such Imposition. If by law any Imposition, at Grantor’s option, may be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition), Grantor may elect to pay such Imposition in such
installments and shall be responsible for the payment of such installments with interest, if any. 

(b)    Nothing herein shall affect any right or remedy of Grantee under this Deed or otherwise, without
notice or demand to Grantor, to pay any Imposition after the date such Imposition shall have become due, and add to the Obligations the amount so paid, together with interest from the time of payment at the Default Rate. Any sums paid by Grantee in
discharge of any Impositions shall be (i) a lien on the Premises secured hereby prior to any right or title to, interest in, or claim upon the Premises subordinate to the lien of this Deed, and (ii) payable on demand by Grantor to Grantee
together with interest at the Default Rate as set forth above. 
 6.    Insurance. 

(a)    Grantor shall maintain, with financially sound and reputable companies, insurance policies
(i) insuring the Real Estate against loss by fire, explosion, theft and such other casualties as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Grantee, and (ii) insuring Grantor, the Grantee and the other Secured Parties against liability for
personal injury and property damage relating to such Real Estate, such policies to be in such form and amounts and having such coverage as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Grantee. All such insurance shall (i) provide that no cancellation
of coverage or material reduction in amount thereof shall be effective until at least 10 days after receipt by the Grantee of written notice thereof, (ii) name the Grantee as an additional insured party or loss payee, (iii) include
deductibles consistent with past practice or consistent with industry practice or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Grantee. 

(b)    Grantor shall maintain or cause to be maintained, flood insurance to the extent required pursuant to
subsection 7.5(d) of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. 
 (c)    Grantor promptly shall comply
with and conform in all material respects to (i) all provisions of each such insurance policy, and (ii) all requirements of the insurers applicable to Grantor or to any of the Secured Property or to the use, manner of use, occupancy,
possession, operation, maintenance, alteration or repair of any of the Secured Property. Grantor shall not use or permit the use of the Secured Property in any manner which would permit any insurer to cancel any insurance policy or void coverage
required to be maintained by this Deed. 
 (d)    If Grantor is in default of its obligations to insure
or deliver any such prepaid policy or policies, then Grantee, at its option upon 10 days’ written notice to 

  
 5 

 
Grantor, may effect such insurance from year to year at rates substantially similar to the rate at which Grantor had insured the Premises, and pay the premium or premiums therefor, and Grantor
shall pay to Grantee on demand such premium or premiums so paid by Grantee with interest from the time of payment at the Default Rate. 

(e)    If the Secured Property, or any part thereof, shall be destroyed or damaged and the reasonably
estimated cost thereof would exceed $1,000,000, Grantor shall give prompt notice thereof to Grantee. All insurance proceeds paid or payable in connection with any damage or casualty to the Real Estate shall be deemed proceeds from a Recovery Event
and applied in the manner specified in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. 
 (f)    In the event
of foreclosure of this Deed or other transfer of title to the Secured Property, all right, title and interest of Grantor in and to any property insurance policies then in force shall pass to the purchaser or grantee. 

7.    Restrictions on Liens and Encumbrances. Except for the lien of this Deed and the Permitted Exceptions and
except as otherwise permitted pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, Grantor shall not further mortgage, nor otherwise encumber the Secured Property nor create or suffer to exist any lien, charge or encumbrance on the
Secured Property, or any part thereof, whether superior or subordinate to the lien of this Deed and whether recourse or non-recourse. 

8.    Due on Sale and Other Transfer Restrictions. Except as expressly permitted under subsection 8.6 of the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, Grantor shall not sell, transfer, convey or assign all or any portion of, or any interest in, the Secured Property. 

9.    Condemnation/Eminent Domain. Promptly upon obtaining knowledge of the institution of any proceedings for the
condemnation of the Secured Property, or any material portion thereof, Grantor will notify Grantee of the pendency of such proceedings. All awards and proceeds relating to such condemnation shall be deemed proceeds from a Recovery Event and applied
in the manner specified in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. 
 10.    Leases. Except as expressly
permitted under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with respect to any Lease having an annual rental of more than $350,000, Grantor shall not (a) execute an assignment or pledge of any Lease relating to all or any portion of the Secured
Property other than in favor of Grantee, or (b) without the prior written consent of Grantee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, execute or permit to exist any Lease of any material portion of the Secured Property,
except for Permitted Exceptions. 
 11.    Further Assurances. To further assure Grantee’s rights under this
Deed, Grantor agrees promptly upon demand of Grantee to do any act or execute any additional documents (including, but not limited to, security agreements on any personalty included or to be included in the Secured Property and a separate assignment
of each Lease in recordable form) as may be reasonably required by Grantee to confirm the lien of this Deed and all other rights or benefits conferred on Grantee by this Deed. 

  
 6 

 12.    Grantee’s Right to Perform. If Grantor fails to perform
any of the covenants or agreements of Grantor, within the applicable grace period, if any, provided for in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, Grantee, without waiving or releasing Grantor from any obligation or default under this Deed, may,
at any time upon 10 days’ written notice to Grantor (but shall be under no obligation to) pay or perform the same, and the amount or cost thereof, with interest at the Default Rate, shall immediately be due from Grantor to Grantee and the same
shall be secured by this Deed and shall be a lien on the Secured Property prior to any right, title to, interest in, or claim upon the Secured Property attaching subsequent to the lien of this Deed. No payment or advance of money by Grantee under
this Section shall be deemed or construed to cure Grantor’s default or waive any right or remedy of Grantee. 

13.    Remedies. 

(a)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Grantee may immediately take
such action, without notice or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Grantor and in and to the Secured Property (subject to the terms of any documentation governing any Permitted Receivables Transaction), including,
but not limited to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such manner as Grantee may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and
remedies of Grantee: 
 (i)    Grantee may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (A) institute
and maintain an action of foreclosure against all or any part of the Secured Property, (B) institute and maintain an action on the Loans or the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any other Loan
Document, (C) sell all or part of the Secured Property (Grantor expressly granting to Grantee the power of sale) through a non-judicial foreclosure as provided in Section 13(a)(iii) below, or
(D) take such other action at law or in equity for the enforcement of this Deed or any of the Loan Documents as the law may allow. Grantee may proceed in any such action to final judgment and execution thereon for all sums due hereunder,
together with interest thereon as provided in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and all reasonable costs of suit, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. Interest at the Default Rate shall be due on
any judgment obtained by Grantee from the date of judgment until actual payment is made of the full amount of the judgment; and 

(ii)    Grantee may personally, or by its agents, attorneys and employees and without regard to the
adequacy or inadequacy of the Secured Property or any other collateral as security for the Obligations enter into and upon the Secured Property and each and every part thereof and exclude Grantor and its agents and employees therefrom without
liability for trespass, damage or otherwise (Grantor hereby agreeing to surrender possession of the Secured Property to Grantee upon demand at any such time) and use, operate, manage, maintain and control the Secured Property and every part thereof
(subject to the terms of any documentation governing any Permitted Receivables Transaction). Following 

  
 7 

 
such entry and taking of possession, Grantee shall be entitled, without limitation, (x) to lease all or any part or parts of the Secured Property for such periods of time and upon such
conditions as Grantee may, in its discretion, deem proper, (y) to enforce, cancel or modify any Lease and (z) generally to execute, do and perform any other act, deed, matter or thing concerning the Secured Property as Grantee shall deem
appropriate as fully as Grantor might do (subject to the terms of any documentation governing any Permitted Receivables Transaction). 

(iii)    Grantee may sell all or part of the Secured Property at one or more public sale or sales at the
usual place for conducting sales of the county in which the Secured Property is situated, to the highest bidder for cash, in order to pay the Obligations, and all expenses of sale and of all proceedings in connection therewith, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees actually incurred, after advertising the time, place and terms of sale once a week for four (4) weeks immediately preceding such sale (but without regard to the number of days) in a newspaper in which sheriff’s sales
are advertised in said county, all other notice being hereby waived by Grantor. At any such public sale, Grantee may execute and deliver to the purchaser a conveyance of the Secured Property in fee simple, with full warranties of title, and to this
end Grantor hereby constitutes and appoints Grantee the agent and attorney-in-fact of Grantor to make such sale and conveyance, and thereby to divest Grantor of all
right, title and equity that Grantor may have in and to the Secured Property and to vest the same in the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or sales, and all the acts and doings of said agent and attorney-in-fact are hereby ratified and confirmed, and any recitals in said conveyance or conveyances as to facts essential to a valid sale shall be binding upon Grantor. The aforesaid power of sale and
agency hereby granted are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable by death or otherwise, and shall not be exhausted by one exercise thereof but may be exercised until full payment of all of the Obligations. In the event of any sale under this
Deed by virtue of the exercise of the powers herein granted, or pursuant to any order in any judicial proceeding or otherwise, the Secured Property may be sold as an entirety or in separate parcels and in such manner or order as Grantee in its
discretion may elect.    The power of sale conferred upon Grantee in this Deed shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales as to any portion of the Secured Property remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until all of
the Secured Property is sold or all of the Obligations are satisfied. 
 (b)    In case of a foreclosure
sale, the Real Estate may be sold, at Grantee’s election, in one parcel or in more than one parcel and Grantee is specifically empowered (without being required to do so, and in its sole and absolute discretion) to cause successive sales of
portions of the Secured Property to be held. 
 (c)    In the event of any breach of any of the
covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Deed, Grantee shall be entitled to enjoin such breach and obtain specific performance of any covenant, agreement, term or condition and Grantee shall have the right to invoke any equitable
right or remedy as though other remedies were not provided for in this Deed. 

  
 8 

 (d)    It is agreed that if an Event of Default shall occur
and be continuing, any and all proceeds of the Secured Property received by the Grantee shall be held by the Grantee for the benefit of the Secured Parties as collateral security for the Obligations (whether matured or unmatured), and/or then or at
any time thereafter may, in the sole discretion of the Grantee, be applied by the Grantee against the Obligations then due and owing in the following order of priority: 

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Grantee in connection with this Deed, the Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the Obligations, including, without limitation, all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, and any other reasonable costs or expenses
incurred in connection with the exercise by the Grantee of any right or remedy under this Deed, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document; 

SECOND, to the ratable satisfaction of all other Obligations; and 

THIRD, to the Grantor or its successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. 

14.    Right of Grantee to Credit Sale. Upon the occurrence of any sale made under this Deed, whether made under
the power of sale or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Grantee may bid for and acquire the Secured Property or any part thereof. In lieu of paying cash therefor, Grantee may make settlement for the
purchase price by crediting upon the Obligations or other sums secured by this Deed, the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of sale and the cost of the action and any other sums which Grantee is authorized to deduct under this
Deed. In such event, this Deed, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and documents evidencing expenditures secured hereby may be presented to the person or persons conducting the sale in order that the
amount so used or applied may be credited upon the Obligations as having been paid. 
 15.    Appointment of
Receiver. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Grantee as a matter of right and without notice to Grantor, unless otherwise required by applicable law, and without regard to the adequacy or inadequacy of the Secured
Property or any other collateral or the interest of Grantor therein as security for the Obligations, shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers or other manager of the Secured Property, and
Grantor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives notice of any application therefor (except as may be required by law). Any such receiver or receivers or manager shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in like or
similar cases and all the powers and duties of Grantee in case of entry as provided in this Deed, including, without limitation and to the extent permitted by law, the right to enter into leases of all or any part of the Secured Property, and shall
continue as such and exercise all such powers until the date of confirmation of sale of the Secured Property unless such receivership is sooner terminated. 

  
 9 

 16.    Extension, Release, etc. 

(a)    Without affecting the lien or charge of this Deed upon any portion of the Secured Property not then
or theretofore released as security for the full amount of the Obligations, Grantee may, from time to time and without notice, agree to (i) release any person liable for the indebtedness borrowed or guaranteed under the Loan Documents,
(ii) extend the maturity or alter any of the terms of the indebtedness borrowed or guaranteed under the Loan Documents or any other guaranty thereof, (iii) grant other indulgences, (iv) release or reconvey, or cause to be released or
reconveyed at any time at Grantee’s option any parcel, portion or all of the Secured Property, (v) take or release any other or additional security for any obligation herein mentioned, or (vi) make compositions or other arrangements
with debtors in relation thereto. 
 (b)    No recovery of any judgment by Grantee and no levy of an
execution under any judgment upon the Secured Property or upon any other property of Grantor shall affect the lien of this Deed or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Grantee hereunder, and such liens, rights, powers and remedies shall continue
unimpaired. 
 (c)    If Grantee shall have the right to foreclose this Deed or to exercise its power of
sale, Grantor authorizes Grantee at its option to foreclose the lien of this Deed or to sell the Secured Property, as the case may be, subject to the rights of any tenants of the Secured Property. The failure to make any such tenants parties
defendant to any such foreclosure proceeding and to foreclose their rights, or to provide notice to such tenants as required in any statutory procedure governing a sale of the Secured Property, or to terminate such tenant’s rights in such sale
will not be asserted by Grantor as a defense to any proceeding instituted by Grantee to collect the Obligations or to foreclose the lien of this Deed. 

(d)    Unless expressly provided otherwise, in the event that ownership of this Deed and title to the
Secured Property or any estate therein shall become vested in the same person or entity, this Deed shall not merge in such title but shall continue as a valid lien on the Secured Property for the amount secured hereby. 

17.    Security Agreement under Uniform Commercial Code. 

(a)    It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Deed shall constitute a “security
agreement” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code (the “Code”) of the State in which the Secured Property is located. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then in addition to having any other right
or remedy available at law or in equity, Grantee shall have the option of either (i) proceeding under the Code and exercising such rights and remedies as may be provided to a secured party by the Code with respect to all or any portion of the
Secured Property which is personal property (including, without limitation, taking possession of and selling such property) or (ii) treating such property as real property and proceeding with respect to both the real and personal property
constituting the Secured Property in accordance with Grantee’s rights, powers and remedies with respect to the real property (in which event the default provisions of the Code shall not apply). If Grantee shall elect to proceed under the Code,

  
 10 

 
then ten days’ notice of sale of the personal property shall be deemed reasonable notice and the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like incurred
by Grantee shall include, but not be limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses. At Grantee’s request, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Grantor shall assemble the personal property and make it available to
Grantee at a place designated by Grantee which is reasonably convenient to both parties (subject to the terms of any documentation governing any Permitted Receivables Transaction). 

(b)    Grantor and Grantee agree, to the extent permitted by law, that: (i) all of the goods described
within the definition of the word “Equipment” are or are to become fixtures on the Real Estate; (ii) Grantor is the record owner of the Owned Land; and (iii) the addresses of Grantor and Grantee are as set forth on the
first page of this Deed. 
 18.    Assignment of Rents. 

(a)    Grantor hereby assigns to Grantee the Rents as further security for the payment of and performance
of the Obligations, and Grantor grants to Grantee the right to enter the Secured Property for the purpose of collecting the same and to let the Secured Property or any part thereof, and to apply the Rents on account of the Obligations. The foregoing
assignment and grant is present and absolute and shall continue in effect until the Obligations are fully paid and performed, but Grantee hereby waives the right to enter the Secured Property for the purpose of collecting the Rents and Grantor shall
be entitled to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents until the occurrence of an Event of Default, such right of Grantor to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents may be revoked by Grantee upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default under this Deed by giving not less than ten days’ written notice of such revocation to Grantor; in the event such notice is given, Grantor shall pay over to Grantee, or to any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, any
lease security deposits, and shall pay monthly in advance to Grantee, or to any such receiver, the fair and reasonable rental value as determined by Grantee for the use and occupancy of such part of the Secured Property as may be in the possession
of Grantor or any affiliate of Grantor, and upon default in any such payment Grantor and any such affiliate will vacate and surrender the possession of the Secured Property to Grantee or to such receiver, and in default thereof may be evicted by
summary proceedings or otherwise (subject to the terms of any documentation governing any Permitted Receivables Transaction). Grantor shall not accept prepayments of installments of Rent to become due for a period of more than one month in advance
(except for security deposits and estimated payments of percentage rent, if any). 
 (b)    Grantor has
not affirmatively done any act which would prevent Grantee from, or limit Grantee in, acting under any of the provisions of the foregoing assignment. 

(c)    Except for any matter disclosed in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, no action has been
brought or, so far as is known to Grantor, is threatened, which would interfere in any way with the right of Grantor to execute the foregoing assignment and perform all of Grantor’s obligations contained in this Section and in the Leases. 

  
 11 

 19.    Additional Rights. The holder of any subordinate lien or
subordinate deed to secure debt on the Secured Property shall have no right to terminate any Lease whether or not such Lease is subordinate to this Deed nor shall Grantor consent to any holder of any subordinate lien or subordinate deed to secure
debt joining any tenant under any Lease in any action to foreclose the lien or modify, interfere with, disturb or terminate the rights of any tenant under any Lease. By recordation of this Deed all subordinate lienholders and the mortgagees and
beneficiaries under subordinate mortgages are subject to and notified of this provision, and any action taken by any such lienholder or beneficiary contrary to this provision shall be null and void. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default, Grantee may, in its sole discretion and without regard to the adequacy of its security under this Deed, apply all or any part of any amounts on deposit with Grantee under this Deed against all or any part of the Obligations.
Any such application shall not be construed to cure or waive any Default or Event of Default or invalidate any act taken by Grantee on account of such Default or Event of Default. 

20.    Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be given in accordance with
the provisions of subsection 11.2 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to Grantor and to Grantee as specified therein. 

21.    No Oral Modification. This Deed may not be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance
with the provisions of subsection 11.1 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Any agreement made by Grantor and Grantee after the date of this Deed relating to this Deed shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening or
subordinate lien or encumbrance. 
 22.    Partial Invalidity. In the event any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Deed shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, but each shall be construed as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included. Notwithstanding to the contrary anything contained in this Deed or in any provisions of any Loan Document, the obligations of Grantor and of any other obligor under any Loan Documents shall
be subject to the limitation that Grantee shall not charge, take or receive, nor shall Grantor or any other obligor be obligated to pay to Grantee, any amounts constituting interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by law to be charged by
Grantee. 
 23.    Grantor’s Waiver of Rights. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor waives the
benefit of all laws now existing or that may subsequently be enacted providing for (a) any appraisement before sale of any portion of the Secured Property, (b) any extension of the time for the enforcement of the collection of the
Obligations or the creation or extension of a period of redemption from any sale made in collecting such debt and (c) exemption of the Secured Property from attachment, levy or sale under execution or exemption from civil process. To the full
extent Grantor may do so, Grantor agrees that Grantor will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, exemption, extension or
redemption, or requiring foreclosure of this Deed before exercising any other remedy granted hereunder and Grantor, for Grantor and its successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Secured Property, to the
extent permitted by law, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of election to mature 

  
 12 

 
(except as expressly provided in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness and marshalling in the event of exercise by Grantee of the
foreclosure rights, power of sale, or other rights hereby created. 
 24.    Remedies Not Exclusive. Grantee
shall be entitled to enforce payment and performance of the Obligations and to exercise all rights and powers under this Deed or under any of the other Loan Documents or other agreement or any laws now or hereafter in force (subject to the terms of
any documentation governing any Permitted Receivables Transaction), notwithstanding some or all of the Obligations may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by deed to secure debt, mortgage, security agreement, pledge, lien, assignment or
otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this Deed nor its enforcement, shall prejudice or in any manner affect Grantee’s right to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Grantee, it being agreed that Grantee shall be
entitled to enforce this Deed and any other security now or hereafter held by Grantee in such order and manner as Grantee may determine in its absolute discretion. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Grantee is intended to be exclusive of
any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any
of the Loan Documents to Grantee or to which it may otherwise be entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Grantee, as the case may be. In no event shall Grantee, in the
exercise of the remedies provided in this Deed (including, without limitation, in connection with the assignment of Rents to Grantee, or the appointment of a receiver and the entry of such receiver on to all or any part of the Secured Property), be
deemed a “beneficiary in possession,” and Grantee shall not in any way be made liable for any act, either of commission or omission, in connection with the exercise of such remedies. 

25.    Multiple Security. If (a) the Premises shall consist of one or more parcels, whether or not contiguous
and whether or not located in the same county, or (b) in addition to this Deed, Grantee shall now or hereafter hold or be the beneficiary of one or more additional mortgages, liens, deeds of trust or other security (directly or indirectly) for
the Obligations upon other property in the State in which the Premises are located (whether or not such property is owned by Grantor or by others) or (c) both the circumstances described in clauses (a) and (b) shall be true, then to the
fullest extent permitted by law, Grantee may, at its election, commence or consolidate in a single foreclosure action all foreclosure proceedings against all such collateral securing the Obligations (including the Secured Property), which action may
be brought or consolidated in the courts of, or sale conducted in, any county in which any of such collateral is located. Grantor acknowledges that the right to maintain a consolidated foreclosure action is a specific inducement to Grantee to extend
the indebtedness borrowed pursuant to or guaranteed by the Loan Documents, and Grantor expressly and irrevocably waives any objections to the commencement or consolidation of the foreclosure proceedings in a single action and any objections to the
laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens which it may now or hereafter have. Grantor further agrees that if Grantee shall be prosecuting one or more foreclosure or other proceedings against a portion of the Secured Property or
against any collateral other than the Secured Property, which collateral directly or indirectly secures the Obligations, or if Grantee shall have obtained a judgment of foreclosure and sale or similar judgment against such collateral, then, whether
or not such proceedings are being maintained or 

  
 13 

 
judgments were obtained in or outside the State in which the Premises are located, Grantee may commence or continue any foreclosure proceedings and exercise its other remedies granted in this
Deed against all or any part of the Secured Property and Grantor waives any objections to the commencement or continuation of a foreclosure of this Deed or exercise of any other remedies hereunder based on such other proceedings or judgments, and
waives any right to seek to dismiss, stay, remove, transfer or consolidate either any action under this Deed or such other proceedings on such basis. Neither the commencement nor continuation of proceedings to sell the Secured Property in a
trustee’s sale, to foreclose this Deed, nor the exercise of any other rights hereunder nor the recovery of any judgment by Grantee in any such proceedings or the occurrence of any sale by Grantee in any such proceedings shall prejudice, limit
or preclude Grantee’s right to commence or continue one or more foreclosure or other proceedings or obtain a judgment against any other collateral (either in or outside the State in which the Premises are located) which directly or indirectly
secures the Obligations, and Grantor expressly waives any objections to the commencement of, continuation of, or entry of a judgment in such other sales or proceedings or exercise of any remedies in such sales or proceedings based upon any action or
judgment connected to this Deed, and Grantor also waives any right to seek to dismiss, stay, remove, transfer or consolidate either such other sales or proceedings or any sale or action under this Deed on such basis. It is expressly understood and
agreed that to the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantee may, at its election, cause the sale of all collateral which is the subject of a single foreclosure action at either a single sale or at multiple sales conducted simultaneously and take
such other measures as are appropriate in order to effect the agreement of the parties to dispose of and administer all collateral securing the Obligations (directly or indirectly) in the most economical and least time-consuming manner. 

26.    Successors and Assigns. All covenants of Grantor contained in this Deed are imposed solely and exclusively
for the benefit of Grantee, and its successors and assigns, and no other person or entity shall have standing to require compliance with such covenants or be deemed, under any circumstances, to be a beneficiary of such covenants, any or all of which
may be freely waived in whole or in part by Grantee at any time if in its sole discretion it deems 
 such a waiver advisable. All such covenants of Grantor
shall run with the land and bind Grantor, the successors and assigns of Grantor (and each of them) and all subsequent owners, encumbrancers and tenants of the Secured Property, and shall inure to the benefit of Grantee and its successors and
assigns. The word “Grantor” shall be construed as if it read “Grantors” whenever the sense of this Deed so requires and if there shall be more than one Grantor, the obligations of the Grantors shall be joint and several. 

27.    No Waivers, etc. Any failure by Grantee to insist upon the strict performance by Grantor of any of the terms
and provisions of this Deed shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms and provisions hereof, and Grantee, notwithstanding any such failure, shall have the right thereafter to insist upon the strict performance by Grantor of any and all
of the terms and provisions of this Deed to be performed by Grantor. Grantee may release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Secured Property, any part of
the security held for the obligations secured by this Deed without, as to the remainder of the security, in any way impairing or affecting the lien of this Deed or the priority of such lien over any subordinate lien or deed to secure debt. 

  
 14 

 28.    Governing Law, etc. This Deed shall be governed by and
construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State in which the Premises are located, except that Grantor expressly acknowledges that by their respective terms the other Loan Documents shall be governed and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York, and for purposes of consistency, Grantor agrees that in any in personam proceeding related to this Deed the rights of the parties to this Deed shall also be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York governing contracts made and to be performed in that State. 
 29.    Certain
Definitions. Unless the context clearly indicates a contrary intent or unless otherwise specifically provided herein, words used in this Deed shall be used interchangeably in singular or plural form and the word “Grantor” shall mean
“each Grantor or any subsequent owner or owners of the Secured Property or any part thereof or interest therein,” the word “Grantee” shall mean “Grantee or any successor Administrative Agent,” the word
“person” shall include any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, unincorporated association, government, governmental authority, or other entity, and the words “Secured Property” shall include

30.    Last Dollars Secured; Priority. This Deed secures only a portion of the indebtedness owing or which may
become owing by the Grantor to the Secured Parties. The parties agree that any payments or repayments of such indebtedness shall be and be deemed to be applied first to the portion of the indebtedness that is not secured hereby, it being the
parties’ intent that the portion of the indebtedness last remaining unpaid shall be secured hereby. If at any time this Deed shall secure less than all of the principal amount of the Obligations, it is expressly agreed that any repayments of
the principal amount of the Obligations shall not reduce the amount of the lien of this Deed until the lien amount shall equal the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding. 

31.    Release. If any of the Secured Property shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Grantor
in a transaction permitted by the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, a Permitted Receivables Transaction), then the Grantee, at the request and sole expense of such Grantor, shall execute and deliver to such
Grantor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Secured Property. The Grantor shall deliver to the Grantee, at least five Business Days prior to the date of the proposed
release, a written request for release identifying the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a certification by the Grantor stating that such transaction
is in compliance with, and permitted by, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

32.    Conflict With Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between
the terms and provisions of this Deed and the terms and provisions of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement shall govern, other than with respect to the section of

  
 15 

 
this Deed captioned “Governing Law, etc.”. By their execution of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, each Lender, and by its acceptance of the benefits of this Deed, each other
Secured Party, hereby agrees that it shall not have the right to institute any suit for enforcement of any Note or any other Obligations secured by this Deed or any other Security Document, if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution
thereof or the entry of judgment therein would, upon applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this Deed or any other Security Document or impede or delay the enforcement of the Lien of this Deed or any other
Security Document. 
 33.    WAIVER OF GRANTOR’S RIGHTS.
BY EXECUTION OF THIS DEED AND BY INITIALING THIS ARTICLE 34, GRANTOR EXPRESSLY: (A) ACKNOWLEDGES THE RIGHT TO ACCELERATE THE INDEBTEDNESS EVIDENCED BY THE NOTES OR THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE POWER OF ATTORNEY GIVEN HEREIN TO
GRANTEE TO SELL THE SUBJECT PROPERTY BY NONJUDICIAL SALE UPON DEFAULT BY GRANTOR WITHOUT ANY JUDICIAL HEARING AND WITHOUT ANY NOTICE (EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN); (B) EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED OTHERWISE HEREIN, WAIVES ANY AND ALL
RIGHTS WHICH GRANTOR MAY HAVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES (INCLUDING THE FIFTH AND FOURTEENTH AMENDMENTS THEREOF), THE VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF THE CONSTITUTIONS FOR THE SEVERAL STATES, OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER APPLICABLE LAW, TO

	By:	 	  

 34.    Commercial Loan Purposes. The interests of Grantee under this Deed and
the liability and obligation of Grantor for the Indebtedness and Obligations arise from a “commercial transaction” within the meaning of the O.C.G.A.
§ 44-14-260(1). Accordingly, pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 44-14-263,
Grantor waives any and all rights that Grantor may have to notice, except as expressly provided in this Deed, prior to seizure by Grantee of any interest in personal property of Grantor which constitutes part of the Secured Property, whether such
seizure is by writ of possession of otherwise. Grantor represents and warrants to Grantee and the Secured Parties that none of the Secured Property is used as a dwelling place by Grantor at the time this Deed is entered into. Accordingly, the notice
requirements of O.C.G.A. § 44-14-162.2 –162.3 shall not be applicable to any exercise of the power of sale contained in this Deed. 

  
 16 

 35.    Attorneys’ Fees. All references in the Deed to
“reasonable attorneys’ fees” shall mean reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred on the basis of standard hourly billing rates (and not statutory attorneys’ fees under O.C.G.A. §13-1-11). 
 36.    Intercreditor Agreement.
(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent under this Deed and the exercise of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the
Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and the provisions of this Deed, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement shall control.

 SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE 

[    ], [    ] 

This Solvency Certificate (this “Certificate”) is delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(c) of the Credit Agreement,
dated as of the date hereof among Graphic Packaging International, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), Bank of America, N.A., as the Administrative Agent and the parties thereto. Unless otherwise
defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement. 
 I,
[            ], solely in my capacity as the [Chief Financial Officer][Treasurer] of Borrower, and not in my individual capacity, do hereby certify on behalf of Borrower that as of the date
hereof, after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement: 
 1. The fair value of the
property of Borrower and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is greater than the total amount of liabilities, including, without limitation contingent liabilities, of Borrower and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis. 

2. The present fair salable value of the assets of Borrower and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is not less than the amount that
will be required to pay the probable liability of Borrower and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, on their debts as they become absolute and matured. 

3. Borrower and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, do not intend to, and do not believe that they will, incur debts or liabilities
beyond their ability to pay as such debts and liabilities mature. 
 4. Borrower and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are not
engaged in business or a transaction, and are not about to engage in business or a transaction, for which the property of Borrower and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, would constitute an unreasonably small amount of capital. 

5. In reaching the conclusions set forth in this Certificate, I have made such other investigations and inquiries as I have deemed appropriate,
having taken into account the nature of the particular business anticipated to be conducted by Borrower and its subsidiaries after the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement.

Waivers of notice by Securityholders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

 

In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or otherwise, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to any Securityholder when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any method of notification as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

Section 2.04 Securities Issuable in the Form of a Global Security.

 

(a)                                 If the Company shall establish pursuant to Sections 2.02 and 3.01 that the Securities of a particular series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee or its agent shall, in accordance with Section 3.03 and the Company Order delivered to the Trustee or its agent thereunder, authenticate and deliver, such Global Security or Securities, which (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, the Outstanding Securities of such series to be represented by such Global Security or Securities, or such portion thereof as the Company shall specify in a Company Order, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depository for such Global Security or Securities or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee or its agent to the Depository or pursuant to the Depository’s instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of the Depository to Issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of the nominee of the Depository or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of the Depository (and any payment is made to the nominee of the Depository or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of the Depository), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, the nominee of the Depository, has an interest herein.”

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything in the Indenture or any supplemental indenture to the contrary, for any Global Security, the Trustee may deliver notices to Holders in accordance with the requirements of the applicable Depository as a substitute for any other method provided for herein.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.04 or of Section 3.05, and subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below, unless the terms of a Global Security expressly permit such Global Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for individual Securities, a Global Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in Section 3.05, only to a nominee of the Depository for such

 

16

 

Global Security, or to the Depository, or a successor Depository for such Global Security selected or approved by the Company, or to a nominee of such successor Depository.

 

(d)                                 (i) If at any time the Depository for a Global Security notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Security or if at any time the Depository for the Securities for such series shall no longer be eligible or in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor Depository with respect to such Global Security. If a successor Depository for such Global Security is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company will execute, and the Trustee or its agent, upon receipt of a Company Request for the authentication and delivery of individual Securities of such series in exchange for such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver, individual Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security in exchange for such Global Security.

 

(ii)                                  The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of any series or portion thereof issued or issuable in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Request for the authentication and delivery of individual Securities of such series in exchange in whole or in part for such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver individual Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security or Securities representing such series or portion thereof in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.

 

(iii)                               If specified by the Company pursuant to Sections 2.02 and 3.02 with respect to Securities issued or issuable in the form of a Global Security, the Depository for such Global Security may surrender such Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for individual Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depository Thereupon the Company shall execute, and the Trustee or its agent shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge, (1) to each Person specified by such Depository a new Security or Securities of the same series of like tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest as specified by such Depository in the Global Security; and (2) to such Depository a new Global Security of like tenor and terms and in an authorized denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Securities delivered to Holders thereof.

 

(iv)                              In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three paragraphs, the Company will execute and the Trustee or its agent will authenticate and deliver individual Securities in definitive registered form in

 

17

 

authorized denominations. Upon the exchange of the entire principal amount of a Global Security for individual Securities, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee or its agent. Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depository for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or the Security Registrar. The Trustee or the Security Registrar shall deliver at its Corporate Trust Office such Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

(9)                                 provisions, if any, with regard to the conversion or exchange of the Securities of such series, at the option of the Holders thereof or the Company, as the case may be, for or into new Securities of a different series or other securities;

(11)                          if the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the Securities of such series are to be payable, at the election of the Company or a Holder thereof, in a coin or currency (including a composite currency) other than that in which the Securities are stated to be payable, the period or periods within which, and the terms and conditions upon which, such election may be made;

(13)                          any limit upon the aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture (except for Securities authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities of such series pursuant to Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 9.06 and 11.07 and except for any Securities which, pursuant to Section 3.03, are deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder);

 

(14)                          provisions, if any, with regard to the exchange of Securities of such series, at the option of the Holders thereof, for other Securities of the same series of the same aggregate principal amount or of a different authorized series or different authorized denomination or denominations, or both;

(18)                          any covenant solely for the benefit of the Securities of such series and any additions, deletions or other changes to the provisions of Article VIII, Article X or Section 1.01 or any definitions relating to such Article that would otherwise be applicable to the Securities of such series;

 

(19)                          if Section 4.03 of this Indenture shall not be applicable to the Securities of such series and if Section 4.03 shall be applicable to any covenant or Event of Default established in an indenture supplemental hereto as described above that has not already been established herein;

 

(20)                          if the Securities of such series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of a Global Security or Securities, the terms and conditions, if any, upon which such Global Security or Securities may be exchanged in whole or in part for other individual Securities; and the Depository for such Global Security or Securities;

(22)                          any other terms of such series, including, without limitations, any restrictions on transfer related thereto all upon such terms as may be determined in or pursuant to such indenture supplemental hereto with respect to such series.

 

The form of the Securities of each series shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture in or pursuant to the indenture supplemental hereto creating such series. The Securities of each series shall be distinguished from the Securities of each other series in such manner, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, as the Board of Directors may determine.

 

Unless otherwise provided with respect to Securities of a particular series, the Securities of any series may only be issuable in registered form, without coupons.

 

Any terms or provisions in respect of the Securities of any series issued under this Indenture may be determined pursuant to this Section by providing for the method by which such terms or provisions shall be determined.

 

Section 3.02 Denominations. The Securities of each series shall be issuable in such denominations and currency as shall be provided in the provisions of this Indenture or the indenture supplemental hereto creating such series. In the absence of any such provisions with

 

20

 

respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of that series shall be issuable only in fully registered form in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

 

Section 3.03 Execution, Authentication and Delivery and Dating. The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any Responsible Officer. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

 

Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.

 

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication; and the Trustee shall, upon Company Order, authenticate and deliver such Securities as in this Indenture provided and not otherwise.

 

Prior to any such authentication and delivery, the Trustee shall be provided with the Officers’ Certificate required to be furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 1.02, and the Board Resolution and any certificate relating to the issuance of the series of Securities required to be furnished pursuant to Section 2.02, an Opinion of Counsel substantially to the effect that:

 

(1)                                 all instruments furnished to the Trustee conform to the requirements of the Indenture and Supplemental Indenture and all conditions precedent provided for in the Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture relating to the authentication and delivery of the Securities have been complied with;

 

(2)                                 the form and terms of such Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

 

(3)                                 all laws and requirements with respect to the execution and delivery by the Company of such Securities have been complied with, the Company has the corporate power to issue such Securities and such Securities have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due authentication and delivery by the Trustee, constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms (subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws and legal principles affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect and to general equitable principles, whether applied in an action at law or in equity) and entitled to the benefits of this Indenture, equally and ratably with all other Securities, if any, of such series Outstanding; and

 

(4)                                 such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request.

 

and, if the authentication and delivery relates to a new series of Securities created by an indenture supplemental hereto, also stating that all laws and requirements with respect to the form and execution by the Company of the supplemental indenture with respect to that series of Securities have been complied with, the Company has corporate power to execute and deliver

 

21

 

any such supplemental indenture and has taken all necessary corporate action for those purposes and any such supplemental indenture has been duly executed and delivered and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws and legal principles affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect and to general equitable principles, whether applied in an action at law or in equity).

 

The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue thereof will adversely affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture.

 

Unless otherwise provided in the form of Security for any series, all Securities shall be dated the date of their authentication.

 

No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.09, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

 

Section 3.04 Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and, upon receipt of the documents required by Section 3.03, together with a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

 

If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment, without charge to the Holder; and upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of such series of authorized denominations and of like tenor and terms. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of such series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.

 

22

 

Section 3.05 Registration, Transfer and Exchange. The Company shall keep or cause to be kept a register or registers (herein sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities, or of Securities of a particular series, and of transfers of Securities or of Securities of such series. Any such register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times the information contained in such register or registers shall be available for inspection by the Trustee at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company as provided in Section 10.02. There shall be only one Security Register per series of Securities.

 

The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as Security Registrar for the Securities on its behalf. The Company may at any time and from time to time authorize any Person to act as Security Registrar in place of the Trustee with respect to any series of Securities issued under this Indenture.

 

Subject to Section 2.04, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in a Place of Payment, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of such series of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity and of like tenor and terms.

 

Subject to Section 2.04, at the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of such series of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity and of like tenor and terms, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Securityholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

 

All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

 

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

 

Unless otherwise provided in the Security to be registered for transfer or exchanged, no service charge shall be made on any Securityholder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may (unless otherwise provided in such Security) require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, 9.06 or 11.07 not involving any transfer.

 

None of the Company, the Trustee or the Security Registrar shall be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security of any series during a period beginning at the

opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of such series selected for redemption under Section 11.03 and ending at the close of business on the date of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part.

 

None of the Company, the Trustee, any agent of the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

 

Neither the Security Registrar nor the Trustee shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

 

The transferor of any Security shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee all information necessary to allow the Trustee to comply with any applicable tax reporting obligations, including without limitation any cost basis reporting obligations under Internal Revenue Code Section 6045. The Trustee may rely on information provided to it and shall have no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy of such information.

 

In connection with any proposed exchange of Securities in definitive form for a Global Security, the Company or the Depository shall be required to provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee all information necessary to allow the Trustee to comply with any applicable tax reporting obligations, including without limitation any cost basis reporting obligations under Internal Revenue Code Section 6045.  The Trustee may rely on information provided to it and shall have no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy of such information.

 

Section 3.06 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. If (i) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and (ii) there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor, series, Stated Maturity and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

 

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.

 

24

 

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

 

Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of the same series duly issued hereunder.

 

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

 

Section 3.07 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. Unless otherwise provided with respect to such Security pursuant to Section 3.01, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

 

Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of his having been such Holder; and, except as hereinafter provided, such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or clause (2) below:

 

(1)                                 The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names any such Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner (the “Special Record Date”). The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause (1) provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be delivered or mailed, first class postage prepaid, to the Holder of each such Security at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the

 

25

 

Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

 

(2)                                 The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause (2), such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

 

If any installment of interest the Stated Maturity of which is on or prior to the Redemption Date for any Security called for redemption pursuant to Article XI is not paid or duly provided for on or prior to the Redemption Date in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section, such interest shall be payable as part of the Redemption Price of such Securities.

 

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

 

Section 3.08 Persons Deemed Owners. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any), and (subject to Section 3.07) interest on, such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

 

Section 3.09 Cancellation. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer, exchange or credit against a sinking fund shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Security shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of all canceled Securities in accordance with its standard procedures and deliver a certificate of such disposition to the Company upon its written request therefor.

 

26

 

Section 3.10 CUSIP and CINS Numbers. The Company in issuing any Securities may use “CUSIP” and “CINS” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” and “CINS” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Securityholders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on such Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on such Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers in such notices of redemption.

 

Section 3.11 Computation of Interest. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated in Section 3.01, interest on the Securities shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE;
 DEFEASANCE

 

Section 4.01 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. Unless pursuant to Section 3.01 provision is made that this Section shall not be applicable to the Securities of any series, this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to any series of Securities (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities of such series expressly provided for herein or in the form of Security for such series), and the Trustee, on receipt of a Company Request and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series, when:

 

(1)                                 either

 

(A)                               all Securities of that series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities of such series which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06, and (ii) Securities of such series for whose payment money in the Required Currency has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 10.03 have been delivered to the Trustee canceled or for cancellation; or

 

(B)                               all such Securities of that series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee canceled or for cancellation:

 

(i)                                     have become due and payable, or

 

(ii)                                  will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or

 

(iii)                               are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company,

 

27

 

and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose an amount in the Required Currency sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee canceled or for cancellation, for principal (and premium, if any) and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable), or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be, and the Company has irrevocably instructed the Trustee to pay and discharge such indebtedness;

 

(2)                                 the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company with respect to the Securities of such series; and

 

(3)                                 the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series have been complied with.

 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of Securities, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee with respect to that series under Section 6.07 shall survive and the obligations of the Company and the Trustee under Sections 3.05, 3.06, 4.02, 10.02 and 10.03 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

 

Section 4.02 Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all money, property and securities deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section 4.03 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the series of Securities in respect of which it was deposited and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

 

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money, property or securities deposited with and held by it as provided in Section 4.03 and this Section 4.02 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent satisfaction and discharge, Discharge (as defined below) or covenant defeasance, provided that the Trustee shall not be required to liquidate any securities in order to comply with the provisions of this paragraph.

 

Section 4.03 Defeasance Upon Deposit of Funds or Government Obligations. Unless pursuant to Section 3.01 provision is made that this Section shall not be applicable to the Securities of any series, at the Company’s option, either (a) the Company and the Guarantors, if any, shall be deemed to have been Discharged (as defined below) from its obligations with respect to any series of Securities after the applicable conditions set forth below have been satisfied or (b) the Company shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Section 10.05 and Article VIII (and any other Sections or

 

28

 

covenants applicable to such Securities that are determined pursuant to Section 3.01 to be subject to this provision), the Guarantors, if any, shall be released from the Guarantees and clause (4) of Section 5.01 of this Indenture (and any other Events of Default applicable to such Securities that are determined pursuant to Section 3.01 to be subject to this provision) shall be deemed not to be an Event of Default with respect to any series of Securities at any time after the applicable conditions set forth below have been satisfied:

 

(1)                                 the Company shall have deposited or caused to be deposited irrevocably with the Trustee as trust funds, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series, (i) money in an amount, or (ii) the equivalent in securities of the government which issued the currency in which the Securities are denominated or government agencies backed by the full faith and credit of such government which through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide freely available funds on or prior to the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii), sufficient, in the opinion (with respect to (ii) and (iii)) of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge each installment of principal (including mandatory sinking fund payments) and any premium of, interest on and any repurchase or redemption obligations with respect to the outstanding Securities of such series on the dates such installments of interest or principal or repurchase or redemption obligations are due (before such a deposit, if the Securities of such series are then redeemable or may be redeemed in the future pursuant to the terms thereof, in either case at the option of the Company, the Company may give to the Trustee, in accordance with Section 11.02, a notice of its election to redeem all of the Securities of such series at a future date in accordance with Article XI);

 

(2)                                 no Event of Default or event (including such deposit) which with notice or lapse of time would become an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit);

 

(3)                                 the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that Holders of the Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the Company’s exercise of its option under this Section 4.03 and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such option had not been exercised, and, in the case of Securities being Discharged, accompanied by a ruling to that effect from the Internal Revenue Service, unless, as set forth in such Opinion of Counsel, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law since the date of this Indenture such that a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service is no longer required;

 

(4)                                 the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit referred to in paragraph (1) above was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders over other creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others;

 

29

 

(5)                                 the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series have been complied with; and

 

(6)                                 the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture is authorized and permitted under the Indenture and all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series have been complied with.

 

If the Company, at its option, with respect to a series of Securities, satisfies the applicable conditions pursuant to either clause (a) or (b) of the first sentence of this Section, then (A), in the event the Company satisfies the conditions to clause (a) and elects clause (a) to be applicable, each of the Guarantors, if any, shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and obligations under, its respective guarantee of the Securities of such series and to have satisfied all the obligations under this Indenture relating to the Securities of such series and (B) in either case, each of the Guarantors, if any, shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in any covenants applicable to such Securities that are determined pursuant to Section 3.01 to be subject to this provision, and any Events of Default applicable to such series of Securities that are determined pursuant to Section 3.01 to be subject to this provision shall be deemed not to be an Event of Default with respect to such series of Securities at any time thereafter.

 

“Discharged” means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and obligations under, the Securities of such series and to have satisfied all the obligations under this Indenture relating to the Securities of such series (and the Trustee, on receipt of a Company Request and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except (A) the rights of Holders of Securities to receive, from the trust fund described in clause (1) above, payment of the principal and any premium of and any interest on such Securities when such payments are due; (B) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.05, 3.06, 4.02, 6.07, 10.02 and 10.03; (C) the Company’s right of redemption, if any, with respect to any Securities of such series pursuant to Article XI, in which case the Company may redeem the Securities of such series in accordance with Article XI by complying with such Article and depositing with the Trustee, in accordance with Section 11.05, an amount of money sufficient, together with all amounts held in trust pursuant to Section 4.02 with respect to Securities of such series, to pay the Redemption Price of all the Securities of such series to be redeemed; and (D) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder. A “Discharge” shall mean the meeting by the Company of the foregoing requirements.

 

Section 4.04 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money, property or securities in accordance with Section 4.02 of this Indenture, by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and, if applicable, the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.03 of this

 

30

 

Indenture, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money, property or securities in accordance with Section 4.02 of this Indenture; provided that, if the Company has made any payment of principal of or interest on any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money, property or securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Section 5.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default described in paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4) or (7) (if the Event of Default under clause (4) or (7) is with respect to less than all series of Securities then Outstanding) of Section 5.01 occurs and is continuing with respect to any series, then and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Securities of such series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 33-1/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding hereunder (each such series acting as a separate class), by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may declare the principal amount (or, if the Securities of such series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of all the Securities of such series and all accrued interest thereon to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in the Securities of such series contained to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default described in clause (4) or (7) (if the Event of Default under clause (4) or (7) is with respect to all series of Securities then Outstanding), of Section 5.01 occurs and is continuing, then and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Securities shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 33-1/3% in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities then Outstanding hereunder (treated as one class), by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may declare the principal amount (or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all the Securities then Outstanding and all accrued interest thereon to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in the Securities contained to the contrary

 

32

 

notwithstanding. If an Event of Default of the type set forth in clause (5) or (6) of Section 5.01 occurs and is continuing, the principal of and any interest on the Securities then Outstanding shall become immediately due and payable.

 

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made with respect to the Securities of any or all series, as the case may be, and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

 

(1)                                 the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

 

(A)                               all overdue installments of interest on the Securities of such series; and

 

(B)                               the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of such series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor by the terms of the Securities of such series, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful; and

 

(C)                               interest upon overdue installments of interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor by the terms of the Securities of such series to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful; and

 

(D)                               all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Trustee hereunder ; and

 

(2)                                 all Events of Default with respect to such series of Securities, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Securities of such series which have become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.

 

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

Section 5.03 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The Company covenants that if:

 

(1)                                 default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Security of any series when such interest becomes due and payable; or

 

(2)                                 default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof; or

(3)                                 default is made in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund or analogous obligation when the same becomes due by the terms of the Securities of any series;

 

and any such default continues for any period of grace provided with respect to the Securities of such series, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holder of any such Security (or the Holders of any such series in the case of clause (3) above), the whole amount then due and payable on any such Security (or on the Securities of any such series in the case of clause (3) above) for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, with interest, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and upon overdue installments of interest, at such rate or rates as may be prescribed therefor by the terms of any such Security (or of Securities of any such series in the case of clause (3) above); and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Trustee hereunder.

 

If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series and collect the money adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.

 

If an Event of Default with respect to any series of Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

 

Section 5.04 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:

 

(1)                                 to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (or portion thereof determined pursuant to Section 3.01(16) to be provable in bankruptcy) (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary and advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts

 

34

 

due the Trustee under Section 6.07) and of the Securityholders allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

 

(2)                                 to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

 

and any receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Securityholder to make such payment to the Trustee and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07.

 

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding.

 

Section 5.05 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities of any series may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities of such series or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities of the series in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

 

Section 5.06 Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee with respect to a series of Securities pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Securities of such series and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

 

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee, its agents and attorneys hereunder, including payment of all compensation, expenses, liabilities incurred and all advances made by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection.

 

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities of that series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, respectively.

 

THIRD: To the Company.

Section 5.07 Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

 

(1)                                 such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series;

 

(2)                                 the Holders of not less than 33-1/3% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

 

(3)                                 such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity and/or security reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

 

(4)                                 the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

 

(5)                                 no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series;

 

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Securities of such series shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Securities of such series, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and proportionate benefit of all the Holders of all Securities of such series.

 

Section 5.08 Unconditional Right of Securityholders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.07) interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption or repayment, on the Redemption Date or Repayment Date, as the case may be) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

 

Section 5.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Securityholder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the Securityholders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Securityholders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

 

36

 

Section 5.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Securityholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

 

Section 5.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Securityholders, as the case may be.

 

Section 5.12 Control by Securityholders. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that:

 

(1)                                 the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken or would conflict with this Indenture or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer, determine that the proceedings so directed would involve it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not taking part in such direction (it being understood that the Trustee shall have no obligation to determine whether any such action or inaction would be unjustly prejudicial to such Holders), and

 

(2)                                 the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

 

Section 5.13 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default not theretofore cured:

 

(1)                                 in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series, or in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund or analogous obligation with respect to the Securities of such series, or

 

(2)                                 in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series.

 

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

37

 

Section 5.14 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder, or group of Securityholders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series to which the suit relates, or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on an Security on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption or repayment, on or after the Redemption Date or Repayment Date, as the case may be).

 

Section 5.15 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

 

ARTICLE VI
 THE TRUSTEE

 

Section 6.01 Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

 

(a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to any series of Securities:

 

1)                                     the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

 

2)                                     in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may, with respect to Securities of such series, conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

 

38

 

(b)                                 In case an Event of Default with respect to any series of Securities has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise with respect to the Securities of such series such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and any indenture supplemental hereto or Board Resolution relating to such series of Securities, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

 

(c)                                  No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

 

(1)                                 this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (a) of this Section;

 

(2)                                 the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

 

(3)                                 the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of 25% in principal amount  of the Outstanding Securities of any series relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series; and

 

(4)                                 no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity and/or security against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

 

(d)                                 Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

 

Section 6.02 Notice of Defaults.

 

If a default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any series and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Securityholders of such series, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, notice of all defaults hereunder within 90 days after it occurs or, if later, after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of such default, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series or in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund installment or analogous obligation with respect to Securities of

 

39

 

such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as  the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Securityholders of such series; and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 5.01(4) with respect to Securities of such series no such notice to Securityholders of such series shall be given until at least 90 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default”, with respect to Securities of any series, means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series.

 

Section 6.03 Certain Rights of Trustee.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01:(a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any advice of counsel, resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

 

(b)                                 any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

 

(c)                                  whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers’ Certificate;

 

(d)                                 the Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or an Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

 

(e)                                  the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights, trusts or powers vested in it by this Indenture, and may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any such rights or powers, including but not limited to acting at the request or direction of any of the Securityholders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee security and/or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction or which, in the opinion of the Trustee, adversely affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture, the Securities or otherwise;

 

(f)                                   the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney;

 

40

 

(g)                                  the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder;

 

(h)                                 the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default (as defined in Section 6.02) or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series for which it is acting as Trustee unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to the Corporate Trust Department of the Trustee (or any successor division or department of the Trustee) has received written notice of such default or Event of Default from the Company or any other obligor on such Securities or from any Holder of such Securities, and such notice references the Securities generally or the Securities of a particular series and this Indenture;

 

(i)                                     the Trustee shall not be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture because of circumstances beyond its control, including, but not limited to, the acts or omissions of the Issuer, acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, strikes or work stoppages for any reason, embargo, government action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations or the like which restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by this Indenture, inability to obtain material, equipment, or communications or computer facilities, the failure of equipment or interruption of communications or computer facilities, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank, and other causes beyond its control whether or not of the same class or kind as specifically named above;

 

(j)                                    the Trustee shall not be liable under or in connection with this Indenture for indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to lost profits, whether or not foreseeable, even if the Trustee has been advised of the possibility thereof and regardless of the form of action in which such damages are sought;

 

(k)                                 the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

 

(l)                                     in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver from the Holders, only Securities which a Responsible Officer assigned to the Corporate Trust Department of the Trustee knows to be owned by the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or such other obligor shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to act as owner with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or such other obligor;

 

41

 

(m)                             the Trustee will accept all notices, reports and other information that are required to be provided or delivered to it pursuant to the Indenture, and, where required hereunder, will determine whether such notices, reports or other information are satisfactory to it in form; provided however that delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and, except for any explicit notice of an Event of Default from the Company or a Securityholder (as described in Section 6.03(h)), the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge or notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder;

 

(n)                                 the Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any Person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any Person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded;

 

(o)                                 the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be compensated, reimbursed and indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder including but not limited to its capacity as Paying Agent, Security Registrar and Conversion Agent, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder;

 

(p)                                 the Trustee may act at the direction of the requisite percentage of Securityholders set forth in this Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture in full reliance on such direction and without any liability for acting in accordance with such direction; and

 

(q)                                 the Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder.

 

Section 6.04 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to, and shall not be responsible for, the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.  The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure of the Company or any other party to comply with any securities laws, including, without limitation, the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

Section 6.05 May Hold Securities. The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, the Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 6.08 and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the Company or any Guarantor, if applicable, with the same rights it

 

42

 

would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

 

Section 6.06 Money Held in Trust. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.03 hereof, all moneys in any currency or currency received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.

 

Section 6.07 Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees:

 

(1)                                 to pay to the Trustee compensation as agreed to between the Trustee and the Company from time to time  for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

 

(2)                                 to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as shall be determined to have been caused by its own negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, without the right of appeal; and

 

(3)                                 to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and each of its affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and court costs) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party and arise in any way out of or in connection with or by reason of this Indenture or any of the transactions contemplated herein, including the enforcement of their rights and defending itself under this Indenture (including this Section), except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense resulted from such Indemnified Party’s negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, without the right of appeal.  In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 6.07 applies, such indemnity shall be effective (i) whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Company, its directors, shareholders or creditors, any Indemnified Party, (ii) whether or not any other person or an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and (iii) whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.

 

If the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraph is invalid or unenforceable in accordance with its terms, then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Trustee as a result of such liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on one hand and the Trustee on the other from the transactions relating to the Indenture.

The term “liability”, as used herein, shall mean any losses, claims, damages, expenses (including without limitation the Trustee’s reasonable and documented costs and expenses in defending itself against any losses, claims or investigations of any nature whatsoever or in bringing an action) or other liabilities, joint or several, arising out of or in connection with any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to the Indenture and any transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding asserting violation of applicable laws).

 

As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section and the Indenture the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on particular Securities.

 

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(5) or (6), the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law.

 

The Company’s obligations under this Section 6.07 and any lien arising hereunder shall survive the resignation or removal of any Trustee, the discharge of the Company’s obligations pursuant to Article IV of this Indenture and/or the termination of this Indenture.

 

Section 6.08 Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. The Trustee for the Securities of any series issued hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act during the period of time provided for therein. In determining whether the Trustee has a conflicting interest as defined in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to the Securities of any series, there shall be excluded this Indenture with respect to Securities of any particular series of Securities other than that series. Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the Commission the application referred to in the second to last paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

 

Section 6.09 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder with respect to each series of Securities, which shall be either:

 

(i)                                     a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority, or

 

(ii)                                  a corporation or other Person organized and doing business under the laws of a foreign government that is permitted to act as Trustee pursuant to a rule, regulation or order of the Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, and subject to supervision or examination by authority of such foreign government or a political subdivision thereof substantially equivalent to supervision or examination applicable to United States institutional trustees;

 

in either case having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the

 

44

 

aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. Neither the Company nor any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company shall serve as trustee for the Securities of any series issued hereunder. If at any time the Trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 6.10.

 

Section 6.10 Resignation and Removal.

 

(a)                                 No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 6.11.

 

(b)                                 The Trustee may resign with respect to any series of Securities at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

 

(c)                                  The Trustee may be removed with respect to any series of Securities upon 30 days’ notice by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of removal, the removed Trustee may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

 

(d)                                 If at any time:

 

(1)                                 the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act pursuant to Section 6.08 with respect to any series of Securities after written request therefor by the Company or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of that series for at least six months, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed in accordance with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, or

 

(2)                                 the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.09 with respect to any series of Securities and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Securityholder, or

 

(3)                                 the Trustee shall become incapable of acting with respect to any series of Securities, or

 

(4)                                 the Trustee shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee, with respect to the series, or in the case of clause (4),

 

45

 

with respect to all series, or (ii) subject to Section 5.14, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the series, or, in the case of clause (4), with respect to all series.

 

(e)                                  If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting with respect to any series of Securities, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Trustee with respect to any series of Securities for any cause, the Company, by Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee for that series of Securities.

 

If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapacity, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to such series of Securities shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee with respect to such series and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company with respect to such series. If no successor Trustee with respect to such series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Securityholders of such series and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, subject to Section 5.14, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of that series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series.

 

(f)                                   The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to any series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of Securities of that series as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its principal Corporate Trust Office.

 

Section 6.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective with respect to any series as to which it is resigning or being removed as Trustee, and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to any such series; but, on request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such predecessor Trustee shall, upon payment of its reasonable charges, if any, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the predecessor Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such predecessor trustee hereunder with respect to all or any such series, subject nevertheless to its lien, if any, provided for in Section 6.07. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the predecessor Trustee

 

46

 

and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series as to which the predecessor Trustee is not being succeeded shall continue to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, and shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such indenture supplemental hereto shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be Trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee.

 

No successor Trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible with respect to that series under this Article.  The obligations of the Company to the predecessor Trustee shall survive its resignation or removal.

 

Section 6.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

 

Section 6.13 Electronic Communication. The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, pdf, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods, provided, however, that the Trustee shall have received an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing specimen signatures of such designated persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing.  If a Person elects to give the Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. Any Person that gives the Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk or interception and misuse by third parties.

 

Section 6.14 Appointment of Authenticating Agent. At any time when any of the Securities remain Outstanding the Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with

 

47

 

respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issuance, exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.06, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as an Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and, if other than the Company itself, subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

 

Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

 

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and, if other than the Company, to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and, if other than the Company, to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee, with the approval of the Company, may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall mail written notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

 

The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.

 

48

 

If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form:

Section 6.15 Withholding. In order to comply with applicable tax laws (inclusive of rules, regulations and interpretations promulgated by competent authorities) related to the Indenture in effect from time to time (“Applicable Law”) that a foreign financial institution, the Company, Trustee, Paying Agent or other party is or has agreed to be subject to, the Company agrees (i) to provide to the Trustee and the Paying Agent sufficient information about the parties and/or transactions (including any modification to the terms of such transactions) so the Trustee and Paying Agent can determine whether it has tax related obligations under Applicable Law, (ii) that the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from payments or deemed payments to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Law for which the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall not have any liability, and (iii) to hold the Trustee and the Paying Agent harmless for any losses it may suffer due to the actions it takes to comply with Applicable Law.  In addition, the Company, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to set off any withholding tax obligations with respect to any deemed distributions that do not otherwise give rise to payments against cash payments of interest or from cash or common shares otherwise deliverable to a Securityholder as directed by the Company in an Officer’s Certificate. The terms of this section shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

 

Section 6.16 Appointment of Paying Agent. The Company initially authorizes the Trustee to act as Paying Agent for the Securities on its behalf. The Company may at any time and from time to time authorize one or more Persons to act as Paying Agent in addition to or in place of the Trustee with respect to any series of Securities issued under this Indenture.

 

Section 6.17 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity, priority or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities; it shall not be accountable for

 

49

 

the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities; and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Securities other than its certificate of authentication.

 TRUSTEE AND COMPANY

 

Section 7.01 Company to Furnish Trustee Names and Addresses of Securityholders. The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee:

 

(1)                                 semi-annually, not more than 15 days after December 15 and June 15 in each year in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, a list of the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities of each series as of such December 15 and June 15, as applicable, and

 

(2)                                 at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished; provided, however, that if and so long as the Trustee shall be the Security Registrar for Securities of a series, no such list need be furnished with respect to such series of Securities.

 

Section 7.02 Preservation of Information; Communications to Securityholders.

 

(a)                                 The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Holders of Securities contained in the most recent list furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section 7.01 and the names and addresses of Holders of Securities received by the Trustee in its capacity as Security Registrar, if so acting. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 7.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

 

(b)                                 If three or more Holders of Securities of any series (hereinafter referred to as “applicants”) apply in writing to the Trustee, and furnish to the Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Security of such series for a period of at least six months preceding the date of such application, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Holders of Securities of such series or with the Holders of all Securities with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under such Securities and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, at its election, either:

 

(1)                                 afford such applicants access to the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.02(a), or

 

(2)                                 inform such applicants as to the approximate number of Holders of Securities of such series or all Securities, as the case may be, whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.02(a), and as to the approximate cost of mailing to

 

50

 

such Securityholders the form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such application.

 

If the Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access to such information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants, mail to each Holder of a Security of such series or to all Securityholders, as the case may be, whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.02(a), a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the material to be mailed and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of mailing, unless, within five days after such tender, the Trustee shall mail to such applicants and file with the Commission, together with a copy of the material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interests of the Holders of Securities of such series or all Securityholders, as the case may be, or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall specify the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all Securityholders of such series or all Securityholders, as the case may be, with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application.

 

(c)                                  Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities in accordance with Section 7.02(b), regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under Section 7.02(b).

(1)                                 change the Maturity of the principal of, or the Stated Maturity of any premium on, or any installment of interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the interest or any premium thereon, or change the method of computing the amount of principal thereof or interest thereon on any date or change any Place of Payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Security or any premium or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Maturity or the Stated Maturity, as the case may be, thereof (or, in the case of redemption or repayment, on or after the Redemption Date or the Repayment Date, as the case may be), or alter the provisions of this Indenture so as to affect adversely the terms, if any, of conversion of any Securities into Common Stock or other securities; or

 

(2)                                 reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences, provided for in this Indenture; or

 

(3)                                 modify any of the provisions of this Section 9.02, Section 5.13 or Section 10.06, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby; or

 

(4)                                 impair or adversely affect the right of any Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on, or with respect to, the Securities of any series on or after the Stated Maturity of such Securities (or in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date); or

 

(5)                                 amend or modify Section 12.01 of this Indenture in any manner adverse to the rights of the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of any series.

 

For purposes of this Section 9.02, if the Securities of any series are issuable upon the exercise of warrants, each holder of an unexercised and unexpired warrant with respect to such series shall be deemed to be a Holder of Outstanding Securities of such series in the amount issuable upon the exercise of such warrant. For such purposes, the ownership of any such warrant shall be determined by the Company in a manner consistent with customary commercial practices. The Trustee for such series shall be entitled to rely on an Officers’ Certificate as to the principal amount of Securities of such series in respect of which consents shall have been executed by holders of such warrants.

 

A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of Holders of Securities of any other series.

 

54

 

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Securityholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

 

Section 9.03 Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, that all conditions precedent to the execution of such supplemental indenture by the Trustee provided for in the Indenture have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that upon execution such supplemental indenture will be the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company subject to customary exceptions.. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

 

Section 9.04 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby to the extent provided therein.

 

Section 9.05 Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures. Securities authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities.

 

Section 9.06 Notice of Supplemental Indentures. Promptly after the execution by the Company, any affected Guarantor and the Trustee of any Supplemental Indenture pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.02, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Securityholders of each Outstanding Security affected, in the manner provided for in Section 1.06, setting forth in general terms the substance of such Supplemental Indenture. Any failure by the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment or waiver.

 

Section 9.07 Revocation and Effect of Consents, Waivers and Actions. Until an amendment, waiver or other action by Securityholders becomes effective, a consent to it or any other action by a Securityholder of any series hereunder is a continuing consent by such Securityholder and every subsequent Securityholder of that Security, even if notation of the consent, waiver or action is not made on such Security. However, any such Securityholder or subsequent Securityholder may revoke the consent, waiver or action as to such Securityholder’s Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the consent of the requisite aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series affected then outstanding has been

 

55

 

obtained and not revoked. After an amendment, waiver or action becomes effective, it shall bind every Securityholder of the affected series, except as provided in Section 9.02.

 

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Securityholders entitled to consent to any amendment or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the first two sentences of the immediately preceding paragraph, those persons who were Securityholders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such persons continue to be Securityholders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date.

 COVENANTS

 

Section 10.01 Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest. With respect to each series of Securities, the Company will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Securities in accordance with their terms and this Indenture, and will duly comply with all the other terms, agreements and conditions contained in, or made in the Indenture for the benefit of, the Securities of such series.

 

Section 10.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment where Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served and where any Securities with conversion privileges, if any, may be presented and surrendered for conversion. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations and surrenders may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee its agent to receive all such presentations and surrenders.

 

Unless otherwise set forth in, or pursuant to, a Board Resolution or indenture supplemental hereto with respect to a series of Securities, the Company hereby initially designates as the Place of Payment for each series of Securities, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and initially appoints the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office as the Company’s office or agency for each such purpose in such city.

 

Section 10.03 Money for Security Payments to Be Held in Trust. If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent for any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on, any of the Securities of such series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure to act.

 

56

 

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, on or prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on, any Securities of such series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal (and premium, if any) or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

 

The Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee for any series of Securities to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

 

(1)                                 hold all sums held by it for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Securities of such series in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

 

(2)                                 give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series) in the making of any such payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of such series; and

 

(3)                                 at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.

 

The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of Securities or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent in respect of each and every series of Securities as to which it seeks to discharge this Indenture or, if for any other purpose, all sums so held in trust by the Company in respect of all Securities, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

 

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be paid, subject to applicable escheatment laws, to the Company on Company Order, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. The Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the direction and  expense of the Company mail to the Holders of the Securities as to which the money to be repaid was held in trust, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, a notice that such moneys remain unclaimed and that, after a date

 

57

 

specified in the notice, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date on which the notice was first mailed to the Holders of the Securities as to which the money to be repaid was held in trust, any unclaimed balance of such moneys then remaining will be paid to the Company free of the trust formerly impressed upon it.

 

Section 10.04 Statement as to Compliance. The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a written statement signed by the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer of the Company stating that:

 

(1)                                 a review of the activities of the Company during such year and of performance under this Indenture and under the terms of the Securities has been made under his supervision; and

 

(2)                                 to the best of his knowledge, based on such review, the Company has fulfilled all its obligations under this Indenture and has complied with all conditions and covenants on its part contained in this Indenture through such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, covenant or condition, specifying each such default known to him and the nature and status thereof.

 

For the purpose of this Section 10.04, default and compliance shall be determined without regard to any grace period or requirement of notice provided pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

 

Section 10.05 Legal Existence. Subject to Article VIII, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its legal existence.

 

Section 10.06 Waiver of Certain Covenants. The Company may omit in respect of any series of Securities, in any particular instance, to comply with any covenant or condition set forth in Sections 10.04 or 10.05 or set forth in a Board Resolution or indenture supplemental hereto with respect to the Securities of such series, unless otherwise specified in such Board Resolution or indenture supplemental hereto, if before or after the time for such compliance the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series affected by such waiver (voting as one class) shall, by Act of such Securityholders delivered to the Company and the Trustee (in accordance with Section 1.04 hereof), either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect. Nothing in this Section 10.06 shall permit the waiver of compliance with any covenant or condition set forth in such Board Resolution or indenture supplemental hereto which, if in the form of an indenture supplemental hereto, would not be permitted by Section 9.02 without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby.

ARTICLE XI
 REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

 

Section 11.01 Applicability of Article. The Company may reserve the right to redeem and pay before Stated Maturity all or any part of the Securities of any series, either by optional redemption, sinking or purchase fund or analogous obligation or otherwise, by provision therefor in the form of Security for such series established and approved pursuant to Section 2.02 and on such terms as are specified in such form or in the Board Resolution or indenture supplemental hereto with respect to Securities of such series as provided in Section 3.01. Redemption of Securities of any series shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities and, to the extent that this Article does not conflict with such terms, the succeeding Sections of this Article.

 

Section 11.02 Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The election of the Company to redeem any Securities redeemable at the election of the Company shall be evidenced by, or pursuant to authority granted by, a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all of the Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least 5 Business Days prior to the date of the redemption notice, but not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series and the Tranche (as defined in Section 11.03) to be redeemed.

 

In the case of any redemption of Securities (i) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, or (ii) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition.

 

Section 11.03 Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. If less than all the Securities of like tenor and terms of any series (a “Tranche”) are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such Tranche not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may include provision for the selection for redemption of portions of the principal of Securities of such Tranche of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series (or, in the case of Global Securities based on the method required by the Depository or, if it is not so required, a method that most nearly approximates a pro rata selection as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate). Unless otherwise provided in the terms of a particular series of Securities, the portions of the principal of Securities so selected for partial redemption shall be equal to the minimum authorized denomination of the Securities of such series, or an integral multiple thereof, and the principal amount which remains outstanding shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series. If less than all the Securities of unlike tenor and terms of a series are to be redeemed, the particular Tranche of Securities to be redeemed shall be selected by the Company.

 

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Security selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

 

59

 

Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for selection for redemption if they are identified by registration and certificate number in a written statement signed by an authorized officer of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at least 5 Business Days prior to the date of the redemption notice (unless a shorter period shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or hypothecated by either, (a) the Company or (b) an entity specifically identified in such written statement as being an Affiliate of the Company.

 

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal of such Security which has been or is to be redeemed.

 

Section 11.04 Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 15 (unless otherwise provided in the Board Resolution or indenture supplemental hereto establishing the relevant series) nor more than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register.

 

All notices of redemption shall state:

 

(1)                                 the Redemption Date;

 

(2)                                 the Redemption Price;

 

(3)                                 if less than all Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) of the Securities to be redeemed;

 

(4)                                 that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security, and that interest, if any, thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said date;

 

(5)                                 the place where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, which shall be the office or agency of the Company in the Place of Payment;

 

(6)                                 that the redemption is on account of a sinking or purchase fund, or other analogous obligation, if that be the case;

 

(7)                                 if such Securities are convertible into Common Stock or other securities, the Conversion Price or other conversion price and the date on which the right to convert such Securities into Common Stock or other securities will terminate;

 

(8)                                 the CUSIP number, ISIN number or any other number identifying the Security, if any; and

 

60

 

(9)                                 if applicable, that the redemption may be rescinded by the Company, at its sole option, pursuant to Section 11.09 of this Indenture upon the occurrence of a Redemption Rescission Event.

 

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company; provided that if the Trustee is asked to give such notice it shall be given at least five Business Days prior notice.

 

Section 11.05 Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to any Redemption Date and subject to Section 11.09, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.03) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date. If any Security to be redeemed is converted into Common Stock or other securities, any money so deposited with the Trustee or a Paying Agent shall be paid to the Company upon Company Request or, if then so segregated and held in trust by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust.

 

Section 11.06 Securities Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, subject to Section 11.09, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Securities shall cease to bear interest and any rights to convert such Securities shall terminate. Upon surrender of such Securities for redemption in accordance with the notice and subject to Section 11.09, such Securities shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price. Unless otherwise provided with respect to such Securities pursuant to Section 3.01, installments of interest the Stated Maturity of which is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities registered as such on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.07.

 

If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Security, or as otherwise provided in such Security.

 

Section 11.07 Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the office or agency of the Company in the Place of Payment with respect to that series (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and Stated Maturity and of like tenor and terms, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

 

Section 11.08 Provisions with Respect to Any Sinking Funds. Unless the form or terms of any series of Securities shall provide otherwise, in lieu of making all or any part of any

 

61

 

mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to such series of Securities in cash, the Company may at its option (1) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities of such series theretofore acquired by the Company or converted by the Holder thereof into Common Stock or other securities, or (2) receive credit for any Securities of such series (not previously so credited) acquired by the Company (including by way of optional redemption (pursuant to the sinking fund or otherwise but not by way of mandatory sinking fund redemption) or converted by the Holder thereof into Common Stock or other securities and theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, and if it does so then (i) Securities so delivered or credited shall be credited at the applicable sinking fund Redemption Price with respect to Securities of such series, and (ii) on or before the 60th day next preceding each sinking fund Redemption Date with respect to such series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee (A) an Officers’ Certificate specifying the portions of such sinking fund payment to be satisfied by payment of cash and by delivery or credit of Securities of such series acquired by the Company or converted by the Holder thereof, and (B) such Securities, to the extent not previously surrendered. Such Officers’ Certificate shall also state the basis for such credit and that the Securities for which the Company elects to receive credit have not been previously so credited and were not acquired by the Company through operation of the mandatory sinking fund, if any, provided with respect to such Securities and shall also state that no Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series has occurred and is continuing. All Securities so delivered to the Trustee shall be canceled by the Trustee and no Securities shall be authenticated in lieu thereof.

 

If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) with respect to any series of Securities made in cash plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments with respect to Securities of such series made in cash shall exceed $50,000 (or a lesser sum if the Company shall so request), unless otherwise provided by the terms of such series of Securities, that cash shall be applied by the Trustee on the sinking fund Redemption Date with respect to Securities of such series next following the date of such payment to the redemption of Securities of such series at the applicable sinking fund Redemption Price with respect to Securities of such series, together with accrued interest, if any, to the date fixed for redemption, with the effect provided in Section 11.06. The Trustee shall select, in the manner provided in Section 11.03, for redemption on such sinking fund Redemption Date a sufficient principal amount of Securities of such series to utilize that cash and shall thereupon cause notice of redemption of the Securities of such series for the sinking fund to be given in the manner provided in Section 11.04 (and with the effect provided in Section 11.06) for the redemption of Securities in part at the option of the Company. Any sinking fund moneys not so applied or allocated by the Trustee to the redemption of Securities of such series shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment with respect to Securities of such series received by the Trustee and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.08. Any and all sinking fund moneys with respect to Securities of any series held by the Trustee at the Maturity of Securities of such series, and not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities of such series, shall be applied by the Trustee, together with other moneys, if necessary, to be deposited sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of the Securities of such series at Maturity.

 

On or before each sinking fund Redemption Date provided with respect to Securities of any series, the Company shall pay to the Trustee in cash a sum equal to all accrued interest, if

 

62

 

any, to the date fixed for redemption on Securities to be redeemed on such sinking fund Redemption Date pursuant to this Section 11.08.

 

Section 11.09 Rescission of Redemption. In the event that this Section 11.09 is specified to be applicable to a series of Securities pursuant to Section 3.01 and a Redemption Rescission Event shall occur following any day on which a notice of redemption shall have been given pursuant to Section 11.04 hereof but at or prior to the time and date fixed for redemption as set forth in such notice of redemption, the Company may, at its sole option, at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the close of business on that day which is two Trading Days following such Redemption Rescission Event and (ii) the time and date fixed for redemption as set forth in such notice, rescind the redemption to which such notice of redemption shall have related by making a public announcement of such rescission (the date on which such public announcement shall have been made being hereinafter referred to as the “Rescission Date”). The Company shall be deemed to have made such announcement if it shall issue a release to the Dow Jones News Service, Reuters Information Services or any successor news wire service. From and after the making of such announcement, the Company shall have no obligation to redeem Securities called for redemption pursuant to such notice of redemption or to pay the Redemption Price therefor and all rights of Holders of Securities shall be restored as if such notice of redemption had not been given. As promptly as practicable following the making of such announcement, the Company shall telephonically notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent of such rescission. The Company shall give notice of any such rescission by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed as promptly as practicable but in no event later than the close of business on that day which is five Trading Days following the Rescission Date to each Holder of Securities at the close of business on the Rescission Date and to the Trustee and the Paying Agent. Each notice of rescission shall (A) state that the redemption described in the notice of redemption has been rescinded and (B) state that such form must be properly completed and received by the Company no later than the close of business on a date that shall be 15 Trading Days following the date of the mailing of such notice of rescission.

 

ARTICLE XII
 GUARANTEES

 

Section 12.01 Guarantees. Any series of Securities may be guaranteed by one or more of the Subsidiaries of the Company or other Persons. The terms and the form of any such Guarantee will be established in the manner contemplated by Section 3.01 for the particular series of Securities. Each Guarantor, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, will fully, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee, to each Holder of Securities (including each Holder of Securities issued under the Indenture after the date of this Indenture) and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (i) the full and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Securities when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Company under this Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee) and the Securities and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Securities.

 

(a)                                 Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional irrespective of the absence or existence of any action to enforce the same, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any other Guarantor (except

 

63

 

to the extent such judgment is paid) or any waiver or amendment of the provisions of this Indenture or the Securities to the extent that any such action or any similar action would otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor (except that each such waiver or amendment shall be effective in accordance with its terms).

 

(b)                                 Each of the Guarantors further agrees that each Guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance and not merely of collection.

 

(c)                                  Each of the Guarantors further agrees to waive presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Company or any other Person, and also waives diligence, notice of acceptance of its Guarantee, presentment, demand for payment, notice of protest for nonpayment, the filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Company or any other Person and any right to require a proceeding first against the Company or any other Person. The obligations of the Guarantors shall not be affected by any failure or policy on the part of the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy under this Indenture or the Securities of any series.

 

(d)                                 The obligation of each Guarantor to make any payment hereunder may be satisfied by causing the Company or any other Person to make such payment. If any Holder of any Security or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to any of the Company or any Guarantor, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or such Holder, the Guarantee of such Guarantor, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

 

(e)                                  Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder of Securities in enforcing any of their respective rights under its Guarantees.

 

(f)                                   Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of each of the Guarantees shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by the relevant Guarantor without rendering the relevant Guarantee under this Indenture voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.
