 WHEREAS, NeoMagic and NeoMagic Israel are the owners of certain patents and/or patent applications of the United States and other countries, and have the
right to license such patents and/or patent applications; 
  
 WHEREAS, through the execution of this Agreement, the Parties intend to grant to and desire to accept from the other Party the rights set forth in this Agreement, including the licenses, covenants not to assert, releases and discharges and
other rights set forth herein; 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in

than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock or other equivalent interests, as of the Effective Date and/or thereafter so long as such ownership or control of such entity exists. [***]. Any rights extended to Affiliates shall apply only to the
activities of such entities occurring during the time period when such business entities meet all the requirements of an Affiliate except that, the release extended to Affiliates pursuant to Section 2.2 shall continue to thereafter remain
effective with respect to the activities of such entity that occurred prior to the Effective Date while it was an Affiliate, and such entity will continue to be bound by the confidentiality provision herein. 
  
 1.2 “Licensed Patents” shall mean (a) all patents
issued to and owned, or controlled by, NeoMagic or its Affiliates as of the Effective Date, or which NeoMagic or its Affiliates have the right to license as of the Effective Date without any requirement to pay consideration to another for the grant
or exercise of license under this Agreement, (b) all pending patent applications owned or controlled by NeoMagic or its Affiliates, to the extent the claims therein have a first effective filing date within the period of five (5) years
commencing from the Effective Date, and any patents issuing therefrom to the extent the claims therein are entitled to such effective filing date, all such pending patent applications and any patents issuing therefrom which NeoMagic or its
Affiliates may grant license under this Agreement without any requirement to pay consideration to another, and (c) all reexaminations, reissues, continuations, continuations-in-part, divisions, renewals, extensions, foreign counterparts, and/or

therein are entitled to an effective filing date no later than five (5) years after the Effective Date and provided there is no requirement to pay
consideration to another for the grant or exercise of a license under this Agreement. The foregoing, and the other provisions of this Agreement, shall not be construed as prohibiting NeoMagic or its Affiliates from acquiring a patent or patent
application from a third party or obtaining license of third party patents or patent applications with no rights to grant a license thereof to Sony or its Affiliates under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensed Patents shall
include, but shall not be limited to, the patents and patent applications listed in Exhibit A attached hereto. (Exhibit A does not list any United States patent applications of NeoMagic or its Affiliates.) 
  
 1.3 “Licensed Products” shall mean any product that the
design, development, manufacture, provision, use, import, offering for sale, sale, disposition, distribution, lease or rental of which would, in the absence of this Agreement, infringe one or more claims of the Licensed Patents. 
  
 1.4 “Licensed Services” shall mean any service that by the
provision, operation, engagement, use or enabling of which, in the absence of this Agreement, Sony or its Affiliates would infringe one or more claims of the Licensed Patents. 
  
 1.5 “Foundry Activities” shall mean activities, including services, that Sony, NeoMagic, or their
Affiliates may undertake on behalf of a third party to make, have made, lease, sell, offer for sale, provide, distribute, import, and/or otherwise transfer products, based on designs or specifications of or on behalf of such third party in a
substantially completed form with sufficient engineering detail to enable the Party or its Affiliates to manufacture the product. The Party’s or its Affiliate’s use in its products of (i) off the shelf products from a third party,
(ii) standard implementations of industry specifications, and/or (iii) standard cells, libraries and their functional software equivalents; in each case would be deemed as part of the designs or specifications of or on behalf of such third
party. 
  
 1.6 “NeoMagic Products” shall mean
[***]. 
  
 1.7 “Sony Patents” shall mean [***].

  

	2.	LICENSE GRANT, RESERVATION AND RELEASES. 

  
 2.1 License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and, in particular, subject to Sony making the payments to

Licensed Patents (i) for Sony and its Affiliates to make, have made, use, lease, sell, offer for sale, provide, distribute, import, and/or otherwise transfer to all tiers, Licensed Products and (ii) to provide, operate, or engage in the
Licensed Services, but only for the benefit of Sony or its Affiliates within the scope of the rights granted to Sony and its Affiliates in Section 2.1(i), in any and all countries, territories and possessions where the Licensed Patents are
effective. The license granted hereunder shall not cover a) any Foundry Activities Sony or its Affiliates may undertake, b) Sony or its Affiliates’ reselling off-the-shelf products purchased from a third party without adding any substantial
value; or c) any sales or other transfer of product under the name, trademark or logo of a third party if the design of the product was created primarily by such third party. Sony shall be responsible under this Agreement for the actions of its
Affiliates, as if performed by Sony, and hereby warrants that its Affiliates are and shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

 2.2 Release 
  
 2.2.1 NeoMagic and NeoMagic Israel, each on behalf of itself and its successors and Affiliates, irrevocably
releases and discharges Sony and its Affiliates, their direct and indirect customers, intermediates, and other transferees, from any and all claims, counterclaims, demands, liabilities, suits, debts, and causes of action for direct or indirect
infringement or alleged direct or indirect infringement occurring prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement of any Licensed Patents as a result of Sony or its Affiliates’ making, using, selling, or importing a product that, after the
Effective Date, is licensed under Section 2.1. 
  
 2.2.2 [***] 
  
 2.3 [***] 
  
 2.4 No Other Rights or Obligations. 
  
 2.4.1 No rights or licenses are granted by any Party or its
Affiliates under any patents or other intellectual property, or for any products, other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement. For clarity, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to grant to Sony or its Affiliates the right to
authorize any party, other than Sony and its Affiliates, to engage in any of the activities described in Section 2.1, except the right for purchasers of Licensed Products to use and resell the Licensed Products that are actually sold by Sony
and its Affiliates and the right of Sony and its Affiliates to purchase Licensed Products directly from a third party, in all cases excluding Foundry Activities and other activities not within the scope of Sony’s rights under Section 2.1.

  
 2.4.2 Nothwithstanding anything to the
contrary, including Section 8.7 of this Agreement, except as expressly set forth in this Section 2.4.2, Sony or its Affiliates shall have no rights or licenses under this Agreement under (x) any patents or patent applications filed
after the date of any acquisition by merger, acquisition of assets or otherwise, of all or substantially all of NeoMagic’s business or assets (an acquisition of any entity by merger, acquisition of assets or otherwise, of all or substantially
all of the entity’s business or assets, referred to herein as an “Acquisition”), (y) any patents or patent applications of or licensed to an Affiliate of NeoMagic (or of or licensed to any successor or assign of the Affiliate or
any surviving entity in the Acquisition of the Affiliate) filed after the date of any Acquisition of such Affiliate and (z) any patents or patent applications of or licensed to the party acquiring or merging with NeoMagic in the foregoing
Acquisition as contemplated in (x) (or of or licensed to any surviving entity of such Acquisition, or any successor or assign in or after such Acquisition), whether filed on or before or after the Effective Date or the date of Acquisition, or
any patents or patent applications of or licensed to the entity acquiring or merging with the Affiliate in the foregoing Acquisition as contemplated in (y) above (or of or licensed to any surviving entity in such Acquisition, or any successor
or assign in or after such Acquisition). For clarity, Sony or its Affiliates shall have the rights and licenses under Licensed Patents filed after the date of an Acquisition only to the extent that, prior to the date of Acquisition, (i) the
patent or patent application claims an invention that was invented by a NeoMagic or its Affiliates’ employee, (ii) the patent or patent application was otherwise subject to an obligation to be assigned to NeoMagic or its Affiliates, or
(iii) the patent or patent application was controlled by NeoMagic or its Affiliates. The Licensed Patents also shall not include any patents or patent applications that are first owned by or licensed to NeoMagic, NeoMagic Israel, or their
Affiliates after the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Date. The foregoing shall not be construed to
terminate or limit the rights of Sony and its Affiliates under the Licensed Patents to the extent existing at any time within the period commencing from the Effective Date and until immediately

Affiliates, or any of their other licensors.

 All other rights and obligations under this Agreement shall survive such expiration. 
  
 4.3 All rights granted under the licenses, covenants not to assert, releases,

and elections available to them under the Bankruptcy Code and other applicable laws and regulations. 
  
 4.4 Notwithstanding Section 4.2, NeoMagic shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon any failure by Sony to pay NeoMagic or NeoMagic

under the amended US/Japan Tax Treaty and requested under Section 3.1 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no rights, licenses or releases shall survive any such termination. 
  

	5.	CONFIDENTIALITY. 

  
 5.1 None of the Parties shall disclose to any non-affiliated third party the confidential terms and conditions of this Agreement, except: (a) to the
extent required by or prudent under the Securities and Exchange Commission, stock exchange or stock association rules or under any laws or regulations or with respect to any other government or regulatory filings, provided that, the disclosing Party
shall use its best efforts to notify the other Party prior to the disclosure and provide the other Party with the exact wording of the proposed disclosure, and NeoMagic and Sony each agree to consider in good faith any comments of the other
concerning the disclosure within ten (10) business days thereafter; (b) to the Party’s attorneys, financial institutions, accountants or other professional advisors in the course of seeking professional advice, provided such parties
are bound by an obligation of confidentiality; (c) as required by any court or other governmental body; (d) in connection with a merger, acquisition of stock or assets, proposed merger or acquisition, to the parties interested on a need to
know basis, provided such parties are bound by an obligation of confidentiality and (e) otherwise as agreed in writing in advance by the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the prohibition against the disclosure of information as
provided in this Section shall not apply to information, the disclosure of which is required in connection with the enforcement of a Party’s rights under this Agreement, pursuant to judicial order, or pursuant to applicable law; provided that,
if disclosure is so ordered or required, the disclosing Party will use its best efforts to timely advise the other Party hereto prior to any disclosure and afford such other Party an opportunity to seek a protective order or other appropriate
relief. Subject to any order or other directive quashing, staying, or otherwise granting relief from the required disclosure, the disclosing Party may disclose the required information after taking reasonable steps to preserve the confidentiality of
such information, including restricting access to the information under a protective order for confidential information then in effect in the proceeding, or, absent such protective order, taking reasonable steps to obtain such a protective order.

 ARTICLE II. 
  
 THE TERMS OF THE CREDIT FACILITY 
  
 Section 2.01 Establishment of the Credit Facility. On the Closing Date, and subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and each LC Issuer agree to establish the Credit Facility for the benefit of the Borrower; provided, however, that at no time will
(i) the Aggregate Credit Facility Exposure exceed the Total Credit Facility Amount, or (ii) the Credit Facility Exposure of any Lender exceed the aggregate amount of such Lender’s Commitment. 
  
 Section 2.02 Revolving Facility. 
  
 (a) Generally. During the Revolving Facility Availability Period, each
Revolving Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make a Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans to the Borrower from time to time pursuant to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, which Revolving
Loans (i) may, except as set forth herein, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, or Converted into, Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, Eurodollar Loans or Foreign Currency Loans, in each case denominated in
Dollars or a Designated Foreign Currency, provided that all Revolving Loans made as part of the same Revolving Borrowing shall consist of Revolving Loans of the same Type; (ii) may be repaid or prepaid and re-borrowed in accordance with

  

 27 

 
the provisions hereof; and (iii) shall not be made if, after giving effect to any such Revolving Loan, (A) the Revolving Facility Exposure of any
Revolving Lender would exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (B) the Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure plus the principal amount of Swing Loans would exceed the Total Revolving Commitment, (C) in the case of
Revolving Loans to be made as Foreign Currency Loans, the Foreign Currency Exposure would exceed the Maximum Foreign Currency Exposure Amount, or (D) the Borrower would be required to prepay Loans or cash collateralize Letters of Credit
pursuant to Section 2.13(c)(ii) or Section 2.13(c)(iii). The Revolving Loans to be made by each Revolving Lender will be made by such Revolving Lender on a pro rata basis based upon such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility
Percentage of each Revolving Borrowing, in each case in accordance with Section 2.07 hereof. 
  
 (b) Increase in Revolving Commitments. The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request (each such request, a
“Commitment Increase Request”) that the Total Revolving Commitment be increased by an amount not to exceed $250,000,000 in the aggregate for all such increases from the Closing Date until the Revolving Facility Termination Date,
provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such Commitment Increase Request and on the date of any such increase. The Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of such Commitment Increase
Request to each Revolving Lender. The Borrower shall set forth in such Commitment Increase Request the amount of the requested increase in the Total Revolving Commitment (which shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 and in minimum increments
thereafter of $5,000,000) and the date on which such increase is requested to become effective (which date shall be not less than 15 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice and that, in any event, must be at least 180 days
prior to the Revolving Facility Termination Date), and shall offer each Revolving Lender the opportunity to increase its Revolving Commitment by its Revolving Facility Percentage of the proposed increased amount. Each Revolving Lender shall, by
notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent given not more than 20 days after the date of delivery by the Administrative Agent of the Borrower’s Commitment Increase Request, either agree to increase its Revolving Commitment by all or a
portion of the offered amount (each such Revolving Lender so agreeing being an “Increasing Lender”) or decline to increase its Revolving Commitment (and any such Revolving Lender that does not deliver such a notice within such
period of 20 days shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Commitment and each Revolving Lender so declining or being deemed to have declined being a “Non-Increasing Lender”). If at the end of the 20 day period
referred to above there are any Non-Increasing Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall offer to each Increasing Lender the opportunity to increase its Revolving Commitment by all or a portion of the remaining amount of the requested increase that
the Non-Increasing Lenders did not accept and, if such Increasing Lenders offer to increase their Revolving Commitments by more than such remaining amount, the Administrative Agent shall allocate such remaining amount among such Increasing Lenders
on a pro rata basis based upon each such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage. If, on the 25th day
after the Administrative Agent shall have delivered a copy of a request by the Borrower as set forth above, the Increasing Lenders shall have agreed pursuant to the preceding sentence to increase their Revolving Commitments by an aggregate amount
less than the increase in the Total Revolving Commitment so requested by the Borrower, the Borrower may arrange for one or more banks or other entities that are Eligible Assignees, in each case reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (each
such Person so agreeing being an “Augmenting Lender”), to commit to making Revolving Loans pursuant to a Revolving Commitment hereunder in an amount no less than $10,000,000, and the Borrower and each Augmenting Lender shall execute
all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence such Augmenting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and/or its status as a Revolving Lender hereunder. Any increase in the Total Revolving Commitment may be made
in an amount that is less than the increase requested by the Borrower if the Borrower is unable to arrange for, or chooses not to arrange for, Augmenting Lenders. 
  

 28 

 Each of the parties hereto agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all actions as may be
reasonably necessary to ensure that after giving effect to any increase in the Total Revolving Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.02(b), the outstanding Revolving Loans (if any) are held by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their new
Revolving Facility Percentages. This may be accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent: (w) by requiring the outstanding Revolving Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of new Revolving Borrowings; (x) by causing the
Non-Increasing Lenders to assign portions of their outstanding Revolving Loans to Increasing Lenders and Augmenting Lenders; (y) by permitting the Revolving Borrowings outstanding at the time of any increase in the Total Revolving Commitment
pursuant to this Section 2.02(b) to remain outstanding until the last days of the respective Interest Periods therefor, even though the Revolving Lenders would hold such Revolving Borrowings other than in accordance with their new Revolving
Facility Percentages; or (z) by any combination of the foregoing. Any prepayment or assignment described in this paragraph (b) shall be subject to Section 3.02, but otherwise without premium or penalty; provided, however, that
the Administrative Agent, in exercising its discretion to take the actions permitted under this Section 2.02(b), shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the liability of the Borrower arising under Section 3.02.

  
 Section 2.03 Term Loans. On the Closing Date, each Term
Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make a Term Loan to the Borrower pursuant to such Term Lender’s Term Commitment, which Term Loans: (i) can only be incurred on the Closing Date in the
entire amount of each Term Lender’s Term Commitment; (ii) once prepaid or repaid, may not be reborrowed, (iii) may, except as set forth herein, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, or Converted into, Term
Loans that are Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, in each case denominated in Dollars, provided that all Term Loans made as part of the same Term Borrowing shall consist of Term Loans of the same Type; (iv) shall be repaid in
accordance with Section 2.13(b); and (v) shall not exceed (A) for any Term Lender at the time of incurrence thereof the aggregate principal amount of such Term Lender’s Term Commitment, and (B) for all the Term Lenders at
the time of incurrence thereof the Total Term Loan Commitment. The Term Loans to be made by each Term Lender will be made by such Term Lender in the aggregate amount of its Term Commitment in accordance with Section 2.07 hereof. The Term
Commitments shall automatically and permanently terminate immediately after the making of the Term Loans. 
  
 Section 2.04 Swing Line Facility. 
  
 (a) Swing Loans. During the Revolving Facility Availability Period, the Swing Line Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, to make a Swing Loan or Swing Loans to the Borrower from time to time, which Swing Loans (i) shall be payable on the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable to each such Swing Loan; (ii) shall be made only in Dollars; (iii) may
be repaid or prepaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof; (iv) may only be made if after giving effect thereto (A) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans outstanding does not exceed the Swing Line Commitment, and
(B) the Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure plus the principal amount of Swing Loans would not exceed the Total Revolving Commitment; (v) shall not be made if, after giving effect thereto, the Borrower would be required to prepay
Loans or cash collateralize Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.13(c) hereof; and (vi) shall not be made if the proceeds thereof would be used to repay, in whole or in part, any outstanding Swing Loan. 
  
 (b) Swing Loan Refunding. The Swing Line Lender may at any time, in
its sole and absolute discretion, direct that the Swing Loans owing to it be refunded by delivering a notice to such effect to the Administrative Agent, specifying the aggregate principal amount thereof (a “Notice of Swing Loan
Refunding”). Promptly upon receipt of a Notice of Swing Loan Refunding, the Administrative Agent shall give notice of the contents thereof to the Revolving Lenders and, unless an Event of Default 

  

 29 

 
specified in Section 8.01(h) in respect of the Borrower has occurred, the Borrower. Each such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding shall be deemed to
constitute delivery by the Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing requesting Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans in the amount of the Swing Loans to which it relates. Each Revolving Lender (including the Swing Line Lender) hereby
unconditionally agrees (notwithstanding that any of the conditions specified in Section 4.02 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not have been satisfied, but subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) below) to make a Revolving Loan to
the Borrower in the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swing Loans to which such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding relates. Each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving
Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Payment Office not later than 2:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office), if such notice is received by such Revolving Lender prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time at its
Domestic Lending Office), or not later than 2:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office) on the next Business Day, if such notice is received by such Revolving Lender after such time. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be made immediately
available to the Swing Line Lender and applied by it to repay the principal amount of the Swing Loans to which such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding relates. 
  
 (c) Swing Loan Participation. If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would otherwise have been made as provided above as a consequence of a Notice
of Swing Loan Refunding, any of the events specified in Section 8.01(h) shall have occurred in respect of the Borrower or one or more of the Revolving Lenders shall determine that it is legally prohibited from making a Revolving Loan under such
circumstances, each Revolving Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender), or each Revolving Lender (other than such Swing Line Lender) so prohibited, as the case may be, shall, on the date such Revolving Loan would have been made by it (the
“Purchase Date”), purchase an undivided participating interest (a “Swing Loan Participation”) in the outstanding Swing Loans to which such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding relates, in an amount (the “Swing
Loan Participation Amount”) equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such outstanding Swing Loans. On the Purchase Date, each such Revolving Lender or each such Revolving Lender so prohibited, as the case may
be, shall pay to the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, such Revolving Lender’s Swing Loan Participation Amount, and promptly upon receipt thereof the Swing Line Lender shall, if requested by such other Revolving Lender, deliver
to such Revolving Lender a participation certificate, dated the date of the Swing Line Lender’s receipt of the funds from, and evidencing such Revolving Lender’s Swing Loan Participation in such Swing Loans and its Swing Loan Participation
Amount in respect thereof. If any amount required to be paid by a Revolving Lender to the Swing Line Lender pursuant to the above provisions in respect of any Swing Loan Participation is not paid on the date such payment is due, such Revolving
Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender on demand interest on the amount not so paid at the overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate from the due date until such amount is paid in full. Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received
from any other Revolving Lender such Revolving Lender’s Swing Loan Participation Amount, the Swing Line Lender receives any payment from or on behalf of the Borrower on account of the related Swing Loans, the Swing Line Lender will promptly
distribute to such Revolving Lender its ratable share of such amount based on its Revolving Facility Percentage of such amount on such date on account of its Swing Loan Participation (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to
reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that if such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving
Lender will return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swing Line Lender. 
  
 (d) Obligations Unconditional. Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(b) and/or to purchase
Swing Loan Participations in connection with a Notice of Swing Loan Refunding shall be subject to the conditions that (i) such Revolving Lender shall have received a Notice of Swing Loan Refunding complying with the provisions hereof and
(ii) at the time the Swing Loans that are the subject of such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding were made, the Swing 

  

 30 

 
Line Lender making the same had no actual written notice from another Lender that an Event of Default had occurred and was continuing, but otherwise shall be
absolute and unconditional, shall be solely for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender that gives such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding, and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (A) any set-off, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender may have against any other Lender, any Credit Party, or any other Person, or any Credit Party may have against any Lender or other Person, as the case may be, for any reason whatsoever;
(B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default; (C) any event or circumstance involving a Material Adverse Effect; (D) any breach of any Loan Document by any party thereto; or (E) any other circumstance,
happening or event, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 
  
 Section 2.05 Letters of Credit. 
  
 (a) LC
Issuances. During the Revolving Facility Availability Period, the Borrower may request an LC Issuer at any time and from time to time to issue, for the account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, and subject to and upon the terms and
conditions herein set forth, each LC Issuer agrees to issue from time to time Letters of Credit denominated and payable in Dollars or any Designated Foreign Currency and in each case in such form as may be approved by such LC Issuer and the
Administrative Agent; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no LC Issuance shall be made if after giving effect thereto, (i) the LC Outstandings would exceed the LC Commitment Amount, (ii) the Revolving
Facility Exposure of any Revolving Lender would exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (iii) the Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure plus the principal amount of Swing Loans outstanding would exceed the Total
Revolving Commitment, (iv) the Foreign Currency Exposure would exceed the Maximum Foreign Currency Exposure Amount, or (v) the Borrower would be required to prepay Loans or cash collateralize Letters of Credit pursuant to
Section 2.13(c)(ii) or Section 2.13(c)(iii). Subject to Section 2.05(c) below, each Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date (including any renewal periods) occurring not later than the earlier of (y) one year from the date of
issuance thereof, or (z) 30 Business Days prior to the Revolving Facility Termination Date. 
  
 (b) LC Requests. Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account or the account of any eligible LC Obligor, the
Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the applicable LC Issuer written or telephonic notice (in the case of telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing if so requested by the Administrative Agent) which, if in the form of written
notice, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3 (each such request, a “LC Request”), or transmit by electronic communication (if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable LC Issuer), prior to
11:00 A.M. (local time at the Notice Office) at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the relevant LC Issuer) prior to the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day), which LC Request shall include
such supporting documents that such LC Issuer customarily requires in connection therewith (including, in the case of a Letter of Credit for an account party other than the Borrower, an application for, and if applicable a reimbursement agreement
with respect to, such Letter of Credit). In the event of any inconsistency between any of the terms or provisions of any LC Document and the terms and provisions of this Agreement respecting Letters of Credit, the terms and provisions of this
Agreement shall control. 
  
 (c) Auto-Renewal Letters of
Credit. If an LC Obligor so requests in any applicable LC Request, each LC Issuer shall agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit that has automatic
renewal provisions must permit such LC Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a
day in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Once any such Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall 

  

 31 

 
be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such LC Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than
30 Business Days prior to the Revolving Facility Termination Date; provided, however, that such LC Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (i) such LC Issuer has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to
issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof, or (ii) it has received written notice on or before the day that is two Business Days before the date that such LC Issuer is permitted to send a notice of non-renewal from
the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied. 
  
 (d) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable LC Issuer and the applicable
LC Obligor, when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect
at the time of issuance) shall apply to each Standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance
(including the International Chamber of Commerce’s decision published by the Commission on Banking Technique and Practice on April 6, 1998 regarding the European single currency (Euro)) shall apply to each Commercial Letter of Credit.

  
 (e) Notice of LC Issuance. Each LC Issuer shall, on the
date of each LC Issuance by it, give the Administrative Agent, each Revolving Lender and the Borrower written notice of such LC Issuance, accompanied by a copy to the Administrative Agent of the Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit issued by such
LC Issuer. Each LC Issuer shall provide to the Administrative Agent a quarterly (or monthly if requested by any applicable Revolving Lender) summary describing each Letter of Credit issued by such LC Issuer and then outstanding and an identification
for the relevant period of the daily aggregate LC Outstandings represented by Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuer. 
  
 (f) Reimbursement Obligations. 
  
 (i) The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse (or cause any LC Obligor for whose account a Letter of Credit was issued to reimburse) each LC
Issuer, by making payment directly to such LC Issuer in immediately available funds at the payment office of such LC Issuer, for any Unpaid Drawing with respect to any Letter of Credit by 2:00 P.M. (local time at the Notice Office) within one
Business Day after the payment or disbursement under such Letter of Credit (and the applicable LC Issuer shall give notice to the Borrower (or such other LC Obligor) of such payment or disbursement as soon as practicable, but in any event no later
than 2:00 P.M. (local time at the Notice Office) on the Business Day of such payment or disbursement), such payment to be made in Dollars or in the applicable Designated Foreign Currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated, with interest
on the amount so paid or disbursed by such LC Issuer, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but not including the date such LC Issuer is reimbursed therefor at a rate per annum that shall be the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans
pursuant to Section 2.09(a)(i) that are Base Rate Loans or, if not reimbursed within the time required pursuant to the foregoing, at the Default Rate, any such interest also to be payable on demand. If by 2:00 P.M. on the Business Day
immediately following such payment or disbursement in respect of an Unpaid Drawing, the Borrower or the other relevant LC Obligor has not made such reimbursement out of its available cash on hand or, in the case of the Borrower, a contemporaneous
Borrowing hereunder (if such Borrowing is otherwise available to the Borrower), (x) the Borrower will in each case be deemed to have given a Notice of Borrowing for Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in an aggregate Dollar Equivalent
principal amount sufficient to reimburse such Unpaid Drawing (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Revolving Lenders of such deemed Notice of Borrowing), (y) the Revolving 

  

 32 

 
Lenders shall, in accordance with and subject to Section 2.05(g)(iii) and unless they are legally prohibited from doing so, make the Revolving Loans
contemplated by such deemed Notice of Borrowing (which Revolving Loans shall be considered made under Section 2.02), and (z) the proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be disbursed directly to the applicable LC Issuer to the extent
necessary to effect such reimbursement and repayment of the Unpaid Drawing, with any excess proceeds to be made available to the Borrower in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 (ii) Obligations Absolute. Each LC Obligor’s
obligation under this Section to reimburse each LC Issuer with respect to Unpaid Drawings (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or
defense to payment that such LC Obligor may have or have had against such LC Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender, including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to
conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such drawing; provided, however, that no LC Obligor shall be obligated to reimburse an LC Issuer for any
wrongful payment made by such LC Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such LC Issuer. 
  
 (g) LC Participations. 
  
 (i) Immediately upon each LC Issuance, the LC Issuer of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each
Revolving Lender with a Revolving Commitment, and each such Revolving Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such LC Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation
(an “LC Participation”), to the extent of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time of issuance, in such Letter of Credit, each substitute letter
of credit, each drawing made thereunder, the obligations of any LC Obligor under this Agreement with respect thereto (although LC Fees relating thereto shall be payable directly to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders as
provided in Section 2.11 and the Revolving Lenders shall have no right to receive any portion of any fees of the nature contemplated by Section 2.11(c) or Section 2.11(e)), the obligations of any LC Obligor under any LC Documents
pertaining thereto, and any security for, or guaranty pertaining to, any of the foregoing. 
  
 (ii) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, an LC Issuer shall not have any obligation relative to the Revolving
Lenders other than to determine that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to
be taken by an LC Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create for such LC Issuer any resulting liability relative to the Revolving Lenders.

  
 (iii) In the event that an LC Issuer makes
any payment under any Letter of Credit and the applicable LC Obligor shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.05(f), either from available cash on hand or the proceeds of Revolving Loans, such LC
Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of such failure, and each Revolving Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such LC Issuer, the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such payment in 

  

 33 

 
Dollars or in the applicable Designated Foreign Currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated and in same-day funds; provided,
however, that no Revolving Lender shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Facility Percentage of such unreimbursed amount for any wrongful payment made by such LC Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts
or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such LC Issuer. If the Administrative Agent so notifies any Revolving Lender required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time at its
Notice Office) on any Business Day, such Revolving Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant LC Issuer such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the amount of such payment on such
Business Day in same-day funds. If and to the extent such Revolving Lender shall not have so made its Revolving Facility Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant LC Issuer, such
Revolving Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuer, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative
Agent for the account of such LC Issuer at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The failure of any Revolving Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant LC Issuer its Revolving Facility Percentage of any payment
under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuer its Revolving Facility Percentage of any payment under any Letter of
Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Revolving Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuer such other Revolving
Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of any such payment. 
  
 (iv) Whenever an LC Issuer receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such LC Issuer any payments from the Revolving Lenders pursuant to
subpart (iii) above, such LC Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Revolving Lender that has paid its Revolving Facility Percentage thereof, in same-day funds, an amount equal to
such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the principal amount thereof and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective LC Participations, as and to the extent so received. 
  
 (v) The obligations of the Revolving Lenders to make
payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of each LC Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be
made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances: 
  

(A) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; 
  
 (B) the existence of any claim, set-off defense or other right that any LC
Obligor may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer, any Lender, or other Person,
whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the applicable LC Obligor and the beneficiary 

  

 34 

 
named in any such Letter of Credit), other than any claim that the applicable LC Obligor may have against any applicable LC Issuer for gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such LC Issuer in making payment under any applicable Letter of Credit; 
  
 (C) any draft, certificate or other document presented under the Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
respect; 
  
 (D) the surrender or impairment of any security for
the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; or 
  
 (E) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default. 
  
 (vi) To the extent any LC Issuer is not indemnified by the Borrower or any LC Obligor, the Revolving Lenders will reimburse and indemnify
such LC Issuer, in proportion to their respective Revolving Facility Percentages (determined at the time such indemnity is sought), for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs,
expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature that may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by such LC Issuer in performing its respective duties in any way related to or arising out of LC Issuances by it; provided, however,
that no Revolving Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such LC Issuer’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct. 
  
 (h) Existing Letters of Credit. On and
after the Closing Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued by the LC Issuer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and shall constitute a Letter of Credit for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. The Borrower agrees that it shall be liable with respect to any drawing made under any of the Existing Letters of Credit in accordance with this Section 2.05 and the other provisions of this Agreement. On and after the Closing Date,
the fees applicable to each Existing Letter of Credit shall be the fees applicable to Letters of Credit as set forth in Section 2.11 hereof. 
  
 Section 2.06 Notice of Borrowing. 
  
 (a) Time of Notice. Each Borrowing of a Loan (other than a Continuation or Conversion) shall be made upon notice in the form provided for below
which shall be provided by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office not later than (i) in the case of each Borrowing of a Fixed Rate Loan, 11:00 A.M. (local time at its Notice Office) at least three Business Days’
prior to the date of such Borrowing, (ii) in the case of each Borrowing of a Base Rate Loan, prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time at its Notice Office) on the proposed date of such Borrowing, and (iii) in the case of any Borrowing under the
Swing Line Facility, prior to 1:00 P.M. (local time at its Notice Office) on the proposed date of such Borrowing. 
  
 (b) Notice of Borrowing. Each request for a Borrowing (other than a Continuation or Conversion) shall be made by an Authorized Officer of the
Borrower by delivering written notice of such request substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto (each such notice, a “Notice of Borrowing”) or by telephone (to be confirmed immediately in writing by delivery by an
Authorized Officer of the Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing), and in any event each such request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of
the Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the Type of Loans such Borrowing will consist of, and 

  

 35 

 
(iv) if applicable, the initial Interest Period, the Swing Loan Maturity Date (which shall be less than 30 days) and Designated Foreign Currency applicable
thereto. Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the
basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower entitled to give telephonic notices under this Agreement on behalf of the Borrower. In each such case, the
Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
  
 (c) Minimum Borrowing Amount. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing by the Borrower shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount.

  
 (d) Maximum Borrowings. More than one Borrowing may be
incurred by the Borrower on any day; provided, however, that (i) if there are two or more Borrowings on a single day (other than with respect to a Term Borrowing made on the Closing Date) by the Borrower that consist of Fixed Rate Loans,
each such Borrowing shall have a different initial Interest Period, and (ii) at no time shall there be more than 15 Borrowings of Fixed Rate Loans outstanding hereunder. 
  
 Section 2.07 Funding Obligations; Disbursement of Funds. 
  
 (a) Several Nature of Funding Obligations. The Commitments of each
Lender hereunder and the obligation of each Lender to make Loans, acquire and fund Swing Loan Participations, and LC Participations, as the case may be, are several and not joint obligations. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any
other Lender in its obligation to make Loans or fund any participation hereunder and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it and fund its participations required to be funded by it hereunder, regardless of the
failure of any other Lender to fulfill any of its Commitments hereunder. Nothing herein and no subsequent termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its
commitments hereunder and in existence from time to time or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 
  
 (b) Borrowings Pro Rata. Except with respect to the making of Swing Loans by the Swing Line Lender, all Loans
hereunder shall be made as follows: (i) all Revolving Loans made, and LC Participations acquired by each Revolving Lender, shall be made or acquired, as the case may be, and held on a pro rata basis based upon each Revolving
Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the amount of such Revolving Borrowing or Letter of Credit in effect on the date the applicable Revolving Borrowing is to be made or the Letter of Credit is to be issued; and (ii) the Term Loans
shall be made by the Term Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective Term Commitments. 
  
 (c) Notice to Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give the applicable Lenders written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed
in writing) of each proposed Borrowing, or Conversion or Continuation thereof, and LC Issuance, and of each such Lender’s respective proportionate share thereof or participation therein and of the other matters covered by the Notice of
Borrowing, Notice of Continuation or Conversion, or LC Request, as the case may be, relating thereto. 
  
 (d) Funding of Loans. 
  
 (i) Loans Generally. No later than 2:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office) on the date specified in each Notice of
Borrowing, each Lender will make available its amount, if any, of each Borrowing requested to be made on such date to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office in Dollars or the applicable Designated Foreign Currency and in immediately 

  

 36 

 
available funds and the Administrative Agent promptly will make available to the Borrower by depositing to its account at the Payment Office (or such other
account as the Borrower shall specify) the aggregate of the amounts so made available in the type of funds received. 
  
 (ii) Swing Loans. No later than 2:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office) on the date specified in each Notice of
Borrowing, the Swing Line Lender will make available to the Borrower by depositing to its account at the Payment Office (or such other account as the Borrower shall specify) the aggregate of Swing Loans requested in such Notice of Borrowing.

  
 (e) Advance Funding. Unless the Administrative Agent
shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may
assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make
available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made the same available to the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the
Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding
amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to
(i) if paid by such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Section 2.09, for the respective Loans (but without any
requirement to pay any amounts in respect thereof pursuant to Section 3.02). 
  
 Section 2.08 Evidence of Obligations. 
  
 (a) Loan Accounts of Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations 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. 
  
 (b) Loan Accounts of Administrative Agent; Lender Register. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the
amount of each Loan and Borrowing made hereunder, the Type thereof, the currency in which such Loan is denominated, the Interest Period and applicable interest rate and, in the case of a Swing Loan, the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable thereto,
(ii) the amount and other details with respect to each Letter of Credit issued hereunder, (iii) the amount of any principal due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, (iv) the amount of
any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof, and (v) the other details relating to the Loans, Letters of Credit and other Obligations. In addition, the
Administrative Agent shall maintain, on behalf of the Borrower, a register (the “Lender Register”) on or in which it will record the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders.
The Administrative Agent will make the Lender Register available to any Lender or the Borrower upon its request. 
  
 (c) Effect of Loan Accounts, etc. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.08(b) shall be rebuttably presumptive
evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations 

  

 37 

 
recorded therein; provided, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error (other than manifest error) therein
shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Credit Party to repay or prepay the Loans or the other Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 (d) Notes. Upon request of any Lender or the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender
or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, (i) a Revolving Facility Note with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith to evidence the Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Revolving Loans made
to it by such Lender, (ii) a Term Note with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith to evidence its obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Term Loan made to it by such Lender, and (iii) a Swing Line Note
with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith to evidence the Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Swing Loans made to it by the Swing Line Lender; provided, however, that the decision of any
Lender or the Swing Line Lender to not request a Note shall in no way detract from the Borrower’s obligation to repay the Loans and other amounts owing by the Borrower to such Lender or the Swing Line Lender. 
  
 Section 2.09 Interest; Default Rate. 
  
 (a) Interest on Revolving Loans. The outstanding principal amount of
each Revolving Loan made by each Revolving Lender shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum that shall at all times be equal to (i) during such periods as such Revolving Loan is a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate plus the
Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, (ii) during such periods as such Revolving Loan is a Eurodollar Loan, the relevant Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Loan for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable
Margin in effect from time to time, and (iii) during such periods as a Revolving Loan is a Foreign Currency Loan, the relevant Adjusted Foreign Currency Rate for such Foreign Currency Loan for the applicable Interest Period plus the
Applicable Margin in effect from time to time. 
  
 (b) Interest
on Term Loans. The outstanding principal amount of each Term Loan made by each Term Lender shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum that shall at all times be equal to (i) during such periods as such Term Loan is a Base Rate
Loan, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, and (ii) during such periods as such Term Loan is a Eurodollar Loan, the relevant Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Loan for the applicable Interest
Period plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time. 
  
 (c) Interest on Swing Loans. The outstanding principal amount of each Swing Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing at a rate per annum that shall be equal to the Quoted Rate applicable thereto. 
  
 (d) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the above provisions, if an
Event of Default is in existence, upon written notice by the Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent shall give at the direction of the Required Lenders), (i) all outstanding amounts of principal and, to the extent permitted
by law, all overdue interest, in respect of each Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, and (ii) the LC Fees shall be increased by an additional 2% per annum in excess of the LC Fees
otherwise applicable thereto. In addition, if any amount (other than amounts as to which the foregoing subparts (i) and (ii) are applicable) payable by the Borrower under the Loan Documents is not paid when due, upon written notice by the
Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent shall give at the direction of the Required Lenders), such amount shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. 
  

 38 

 (e) Accrual and Payment of Interest. Interest shall accrue from and including the date of any
Borrowing to but excluding the date of any prepayment or repayment thereof and shall be payable by the Borrower: (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each month, (ii) in respect of each
Fixed Rate Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on the dates that are successively three months after the commencement of such Interest Period,
(iii) in respect of any Swing Loan, on the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable thereto, and (iv) in respect of all Loans, other than Revolving Loans accruing interest at a Base Rate, on any repayment, prepayment or Conversion (on the
amount repaid, prepaid or Converted), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and, after such maturity or, in the case of any interest payable pursuant to Section 2.09(d), on demand. 
  
 (f) Computations of Interest. All computations of interest on Fixed
Rate Loans and Swing Loans hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. All computations of interest on Base Rate Loans and Unpaid Drawings hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a
year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable. 
  
 (g) Information as
to Interest Rates. The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing, shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof. Any changes in the Applicable Margin shall be determined by the Administrative Agent
in accordance with the provisions set forth in the definition of “Applicable Margin” and the Administrative Agent will promptly provide notice of such determinations to the Borrower and the Lenders. Any such determination by the
Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. 
  
 Section 2.10 Conversion and Continuation of Loans. 
  
 (a) Conversion and Continuation of Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall have the right, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to (i) Convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal
amount of Loans of one Type made to it into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type of Loans that can be made to it pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) Continue a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or Foreign Currency Loans, as the case may be, at
the end of the applicable Interest Period as a new Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or Foreign Currency Loans (in the same Designated Foreign Currency as the original Foreign Currency Loan) with a new Interest Period; provided, however, that
(A) no Foreign Currency Loan may be Converted into a Base Rate Loan, Eurodollar Loan or a Foreign Currency Loan that is denominated in a different Designated Foreign Currency, and (B) any Conversion of Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans
shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loans. 
  
 (b) Notice of Continuation and Conversion. Each Continuation or Conversion of a Loan shall be made upon notice in the form provided for below provided by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent at its Notice
Office not later than (i) in the case of each Continuation of or Conversion into a Fixed Rate Loan, prior to 1:00 P.M. (local time at its Notice Office) at least three Business Days’ prior to the date of such Continuation or Conversion,
and (ii) in the case of each Conversion to a Base Rate Loan, prior to 1:00 P.M. (local time at its Notice Office) on the proposed date of such Conversion. Each such request shall be made by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower delivering
written notice of such request substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto (each such notice, a “Notice of Continuation or Conversion”) or by telephone (to be confirmed immediately in writing by delivery by an Authorized
Officer of the Borrower of a Notice of Continuation or Conversion), and in any event each such request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the Borrowings to be Continued or Converted, (B) the date of the Continuation or Conversion
(which shall be a Business Day), and (C) the Interest Period or, in the case of a Continuation, the new Interest Period. Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be
given hereunder, the Administrative 

  

 39 

 
Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in
good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower entitled to give telephonic notices under this Agreement on behalf of the Borrower. In each such case, the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

 (a) Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of each Revolving Lender based upon each such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage, as consideration for the Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders, commitment fees (the

accordance with the provisions set forth in the definition of “Applicable Commitment Fee Rate” and the Administrative Agent will promptly provide notice of such determinations to the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders. Any such
determination by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. All computations of Commitment Fees, LC Fees and other Fees hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days.

Commitments. 
  
 (a) Mandatory Termination of Revolving
Commitments. All of the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Facility Termination Date.

or cash collateralization requirement is satisfied and (iv) any partial reduction shall be in the amount of at least $5,000,000 (or, if greater, in integral multiples of $1,000,000).

$1,000,000 or the Dollar Equivalent thereof in excess thereof, (B) in the case of any prepayment of a Base Rate Loan, $1,000,000 (or, if less, the full amount of such Borrowing) or the Dollar Equivalent thereof, or an integral multiple of
$100,000 or the Dollar Equivalent thereof in excess thereof, and (C) in the case of any prepayment of a Swing Loan, in the full amount thereof;

pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto; and 
  
 (iii) in the case of any prepayment of the Term Loans, such prepayment shall be applied on a pro rata basis to reduce the Scheduled
Repayments in respect of the Term Loans. 
  
 (b) Scheduled
Repayments of the Term Loans. On each of the dates set forth below, the Borrower shall repay the principal amount of the Term Loans in the amount set forth opposite such date, except that the payment due on the Term Loan Maturity Date
shall in any event be in the amount of the entire remaining outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans (each such repayment, as the same may be reduced by reason of the application of prepayments pursuant to Section 2.13(a) or
Section 2.13(c), a “Scheduled Repayment”):

 (c) Mandatory Payments. The Loans shall be subject to mandatory repayment or prepayment (in the
case of any partial prepayment conforming to the requirements as to the amounts of partial prepayments set forth in Section 2.13(a) above), and the LC Outstandings shall be subject to cash collateralization requirements, in accordance with the
following provisions: 
  
 (i) Revolving
Facility Termination Date. The entire principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans shall be repaid in full on the Revolving Facility Termination Date. 
  
 (ii) Loans Exceed the Commitments. If on any date (after giving effect to any other payments on such
date) (A) the Aggregate Credit Facility Exposure exceeds the Total Credit Facility Amount, (B) the Revolving Facility Exposure of any Lender exceeds such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (C) the Aggregate Revolving Facility
Exposure plus the principal amount of Swing Loans exceeds the Total Revolving Commitment, (D) the Foreign Currency Exposure exceeds the Maximum Foreign Currency Exposure Amount, or (E) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans
outstanding exceeds the Swing Line Commitment, then, in the case of each of the foregoing, the Borrower shall, on such day, prepay on such date the principal amount of Loans and, after Loans have been paid in full, Unpaid Drawings, in an
aggregate amount at least equal to such excess. 
  
 (iii) LC Outstandings Exceed LC Commitment If on any date the LC Outstandings exceed the LC Commitment Amount, then the applicable LC Obligor or the Borrower shall, on such day, pay to the Administrative Agent an amount in
cash equal to such excess, and the Administrative Agent shall hold such payment as security for the reimbursement obligations of the applicable LC Obligors hereunder in respect of Letters of Credit pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be
entered into in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, each LC Issuer and the Borrower (which shall permit certain investments in Cash Equivalents satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, each LC Issuer and the
Borrower until the proceeds are applied to any Unpaid Drawings or to any other Obligations in accordance with any such cash collateral agreement). 
  
 (iv) Certain Proceeds of Asset Sales. If during any fiscal year of the Borrower, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have received
cumulative Net Cash Proceeds during such fiscal year from one or more Asset Sales (other than any Asset Sale made pursuant to Section 7.02(d) or (g)) in excess of $10,000,000, not later than the third Business Day following the date of receipt
of any Cash Proceeds in excess of such amount, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds then received, shall be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(d) below. 
  
 (v) Certain Proceeds of Equity Sales. Not later than
the Business Day following the date of the receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of the cash proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions, placement agent fees and other customary fees and costs associated therewith) from any
sale or issuance by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of 

  

 43 

 
its own equity securities, as the case may be, after the Closing Date (other than (A) any sale or issuance to management, employees (or key employees)
or directors pursuant to stock option or similar plans for the benefit of management, employees (or key employees) or directors generally or (B) the issuance or sale of any Equity Interests by any Subsidiary of the Borrower to the Borrower or
any other Subsidiary of the Borrower ), the Borrower will make a prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to 50% of such net proceeds in accordance with Section 2.13(d). 
  
 (vi) Certain Proceeds of Indebtedness. Not later than the Business Day following the date of the
receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of the cash proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions, placement agent fees and other customary fees and costs associated therewith) from any sale or issuance of Indebtedness (other
than the sale or issuance of any Indebtedness pursuant to Sections 7.04(a) through (k)) by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, after the Closing Date, the Borrower will make a prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to
100% of such net proceeds in accordance with Section 2.13(d); provided, however, that if at the time of such sale or issuance of Indebtedness and after giving effect thereto, the Total Leverage Ratio would be less than 3.00 to
1.00, then such prepayment of the Loans need be in an amount equal to only 50% of such net proceeds. 
  
 (d) Applications of Certain Prepayment Proceeds. Each prepayment required to be made pursuant to Section 2.13(c) (iv), (v) or
(vi) shall be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the Loans as follows: (i) if, at the time of any such prepayment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such prepayment shall be applied to the outstanding
principal amount of the Term Loans on a pro rata basis, with such amounts being applied to the Scheduled Repayments thereof in the inverse order of their maturity and then to the Revolving Loans (with no reduction in the Revolving
Commitments), or (ii) if, at the time of any such prepayment or after giving effect thereto, any Default or Event of Default exists, such prepayment shall be applied, on a pro rata basis, to the principal amount of the Revolving Loans,
the LC Outstandings and the Term Loans, with such amounts, in the case of the Term Loans, being applied to the Scheduled Repayments thereof in the inverse order of their maturity. 
  
 (e) Particular Loans to be Prepaid. With respect to each repayment or prepayment of Loans made or required by this
Section, the Borrower shall designate the Types of Loans that are to be repaid or prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which such repayment or prepayment is to be made, provided, however, that (i) the Borrower shall first so
designate all Loans that are Base Rate Loans and Fixed Rate Loans with Interest Periods ending on the date of repayment or prepayment prior to designating any other Fixed Rate Loans for repayment or prepayment, and (ii) if the outstanding
principal amount of Fixed Rate Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing is reduced below the applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount as a result of any such repayment or prepayment, then all the Loans outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing shall, in the case
of Eurodollar Loans, be Converted into Base Rate Loans and, in the case of Foreign Currency Loans, be repaid in full. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to
the above, make such designation in its sole discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Article III. 
  
 (f) Breakage and Other Compensation. Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be accompanied by any amounts payable in respect
thereof under Article III hereof. 
  
 Section 2.14 Method and
Place of Payment. 
  
 (a) Generally. All payments made
by the Borrower hereunder (including any payments made with respect to the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations under Article X), under any Note or any other Loan Document, shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. 
  

 44 

 (b) Application of Payments. Except as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and
subject to Section 8.03, (i) all payments and prepayments of Revolving Loans and Unpaid Drawings with respect to Letters of Credit shall be applied by the Administrative Agent on a pro rata basis based upon each Revolving
Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the amount of such prepayment, (ii) all payments and prepayments of the Term Loans shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reduce the principal amount of the Term Loans made by each Term
Lender, pro rata on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding at such time, and (iii) all payments or prepayments of Swing Loans shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to pay or prepay such Swing
Loans. 
  
 (c) Payment of Obligations. Except as
specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, all payments under this Agreement with respect to any of the Obligations shall be made to the Administrative Agent on the date when due and shall be made at the Payment Office in immediately
available funds and, except as set forth in the next sentence, shall be made in Dollars. With respect to any Foreign Currency Loan, all payments (including prepayments) to any Revolving Lender of the principal of or interest on such Foreign Currency
Loan shall be made in the same Designated Foreign Currency as the original Loan and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued in a Designated Foreign Currency, all Unpaid Drawings with respect to each such Letter of Credit shall be made in the
same Designated Foreign Currency in which each such Letter of Credit was issued. 
  
 (d) Timing of Payments. Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 1:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day.
Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable
during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension. 
  
 (e) Distribution to Lenders. Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of payments hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall immediately distribute to each Lender or the applicable LC Issuer, as the case may
be, its ratable share, if any, of the amount of principal, interest, and Fees received by it for the account of such Lender. Payments received by the Administrative Agent in Dollars shall be delivered to the Lenders or the applicable LC Issuer, as
the case may be, in Dollars in immediately available funds. Payments received by the Administrative Agent in any Designated Foreign Currency shall be delivered to the Lenders or the applicable LC Issuer, as the case may be, in such Designated
Foreign Currency in same-day funds; provided, however, that if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, Unpaid Drawings, interest and Fees then due
hereunder then, except as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to Section 8.03, such funds shall be applied, first, towards payment of 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 second, towards payment of principal and Unpaid Drawings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts
of principal and Unpaid Drawings then due to such parties.

 ARTICLE III. 
  
 INCREASED COSTS, ILLEGALITY AND TAXES 
  
 Section 3.01 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. 
  
 (a) In the event that (y) in the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative Agent or (z) in the case of clauses (ii) and
(iii) below, any Lender, shall have determined on a reasonable basis that: 
  
 (i) on any date for determining the interest rate applicable to any Fixed Rate Loan for any Interest Period that, by reason of any changes
arising after the Closing Date, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in this Agreement for such Fixed Rate Loan; or 
  
 (ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased
costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable by it hereunder in an amount that such Lender deems material with respect to any Fixed Rate Loans (other than any increased cost or reduction in the amount received or receivable resulting
from the imposition of or a change in the rate of taxes or similar charges) because of (x) any change since the Closing Date in any applicable law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request (whether or not having the force of
law, but if not having the force of law, being of a type as to which such Lender customarily complies), or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, guideline,
order or request (such as, for example, but not limited to, a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves already includable in the interest rate applicable to such Fixed Rate Loan pursuant to this Agreement) or
(y) other circumstances adversely affecting the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in any such market; or 
  
 (iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Fixed Rate Loan has become unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith
with any change since the Closing Date in any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or the interpretation or application thereof, or would conflict with any thereof not having the force of law but with which such Lender customarily
complies, or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Closing Date that materially adversely affects the London interbank market; 
  
 then, and in each such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent in the case of clause (i) above) shall (x) on or
promptly following such date or time and (y) within 10 Business Days of the date on which such event no longer exists give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which
notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, the affected Type of Fixed Rate Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative
Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation or Conversion given by the Borrower with respect to such
Type of Fixed Rate Loans that have not yet been incurred, Converted or Continued shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower or, in the case of a Notice of Borrowing other than a Borrowing of Foreign Currency Loans, shall, at the option of the
Borrower, be deemed converted into a Notice of Borrowing for Base Rate Loans to be made on the date of Borrowing contained in such Notice of Borrowing, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, upon
written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender, for such increased
costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing the basis for the calculation thereof, which basis must be reasonable, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall be
rebuttably presumed to be correct) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 3.01(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

  
 (b) At any time that any Fixed Rate Loan is affected by the
circumstances described in Section 3.01(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a Fixed Rate Loan affected pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(iii) the Borrower shall) either (i) if the affected Fixed Rate Loan is then being
made pursuant to a Borrowing, by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in 

  

 46 

 
writing) thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by a Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(ii) or (iii), cancel such Borrowing, or, in the
case of any Borrowing other than a Borrowing of Foreign Currency Loans, convert the related Notice of Borrowing into one requesting a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or require the affected Lender to make its requested Loan as a Base Rate Loan, or
(ii) if the affected Fixed Rate Loan is then outstanding, upon at least one Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to Convert each such Fixed Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan or, in the case of a
Foreign Currency Loan, prepay in full such Foreign Currency Loan, provided, however, that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 3.01(b). 

 
 (c) If any Lender shall have determined that after the Closing Date, the
adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged by law with
the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender or its parent corporation with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law, but if not having the force of law, being of a
type as to which such Lender customarily complies) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to
be material to the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent corporation’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent corporation
could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its parent corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within 15 days after
demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent corporation for such reduction. Each Lender, upon determining in
good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.01(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis of the calculation of such
additional amounts, which basis must be reasonable, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01(c) upon the subsequent
receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, (i) no Lender shall demand compensation for any amounts referred to in this Section 3.01(c) if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of
such Lender to demand such compensation, payment or reimbursement in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements, and (ii) the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01
for any period ending 180 days or more prior to the demand for payment of such amount. 
  
 Section 3.02 Breakage Compensation. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender (including the Swing Line Lender), upon its written request (which request shall set forth the detailed basis for requesting and the
method of calculating such compensation), for all reasonable losses, costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, cost, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other
funds required by such Lender to fund its Fixed Rate Loans or Swing Loans and costs associated with foreign currency hedging obligations incurred by such Lender in connection with any Foreign Currency Loan) which such Lender may sustain in
connection with any of the following: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of Fixed Rate Loans or Swing Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or
a Notice of Continuation or Conversion (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 3.01(a)); (ii) if any repayment or prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) or Conversion or Continuation of any
Fixed Rate Loans occurs on a date that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto or any Swing Loan is paid prior to the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Fixed Rate Loans is
not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; (iv) as a result 

  

 47 

 
of an assignment by a Lender of any Fixed Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto pursuant to a request by the
Borrower pursuant to Section 3.05(b). The written request of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 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 request within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
  
 Section 3.03 Net Payments. 
  
 (a) Except as provided for in Section 3.03(b), all payments made by the Borrower hereunder, under any Note or any other Loan Document, including all
payments made by the Borrower pursuant to its guaranty obligations under Article X, will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of
whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding (i) any tax imposed on or measured by the net income or net profits
of a Lender and franchise taxes imposed on it pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction under which such Lender is organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or Applicable Lending Office of such Lender, as applicable, is located or
any subdivision thereof or therein, (ii) any branch profits tax imposed on any Lender by the United States or by the jurisdiction of the Lender’s principal office or Applicable Lending Office, (iii) any tax attributable to
Lender’s failure to comply with Section 3.03(b), if it is legally entitled to do so, or (iv) in the case of a Lender that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), any withholding
tax that is in effect and would apply to amounts payable to such Lender at the time it becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new Applicable Lending Office), except to the extent such Lender (or assignor) was entitled at the time of
designation of a new Applicable Lending Office or assignment to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to any withholding tax pursuant to this Section 3.03) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect to
such non-excluded taxes, levies imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”). Subject to
Section 3.03(b), if any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes and such additional amounts (including additional amounts to compensate for withholding on amounts paid pursuant to this
Section 3.03) as may be necessary so that every payment by it of all amounts due hereunder, under any Note or under any other Loan Document, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes will not be less than the amount such
Lender would have received had no deduction, withholding or payment been required or made with respect to such Taxes. Subject to Section 3.03(b), the Borrower will indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and
reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes imposed on and paid by such Lender. The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes,
or any withholding or deduction on account thereof, is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts, or other evidence satisfactory to the respective Lender, evidencing such payment by the Borrower. 
  
 (b) Each Lender that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined
in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes and that is entitled to claim an exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to a payment by Borrower agrees to provide to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.06 (unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder
immediately prior to such assignment or transfer and such Lender is in compliance with the provisions of this Section), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, and from time to time thereafter if required by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent: two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, W-8ECI, W-8EXP or W-8IMY (or successor, substitute or other appropriate forms and, 

  

 48 

 
in the case of Form W-8IMY, complete with accompanying Forms W-8BEN with respect to beneficial owners of the payment) certifying to such Lender’s
entitlement to exemption from or a reduced rate of withholding of United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document, along with any other appropriate documentation
establishing such exemption or reduction (such as statements certifying qualification for exemption with respect to portfolio interest). In addition, each Lender agrees that from time to time after the Closing Date, when a lapse in time or change in
circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of the applicable Internal Revenue
Service Form establishing such exemption or reduction (such as statements certifying qualification for exemption with respect to portfolio interest) and any related documentation as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of
such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax if the Lender continues to be so entitled. Each Lender that is a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(3) of the Code) for
Federal income tax purposes shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative agent, on or prior to the Closing Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.06
(unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer and such Lender is in compliance with the provisions of this Section) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue
Service Form W-9 (or successor, substitute or other appropriate form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service. No Lender shall be required by this Section 3.03(b) to deliver a form or certificate that it is not legally entitled to deliver.
The Borrower shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 3.03(a) hereof to pay additional amounts on account of or indemnify with respect to United States withholding taxes or backup withholding taxes to the extent that such taxes arise solely
due to a Lender’s failure to deliver forms that it was legally entitled to but failed to delivery under this Section 3.03(b). The Borrower agrees to pay additional amounts and indemnify each Lender in the manner and to the extent set forth
in Section 3.03(a) in respect of any Taxes deducted or withheld by it as a result of any changes after the Closing Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating
to the deducting or withholding of income or similar Taxes. 
  
 (c) If any Lender becomes aware that it has finally and irrevocably received or been granted a refund in respect of any Taxes as to which indemnification has been paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.03, it shall promptly
remit such refund (including any interest received in respect thereof) to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses to the Borrower; provided, however, that the Borrower agrees to promptly return any such refund (plus
interest) to such Lender in the event such Lender is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority and, provided further, that nothing in this Section 3.03(c) shall require any Lender to make available its tax returns
(or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential). Any such Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment from the relevant taxing authority (redacting any
unrelated confidential information contained therein) requiring repayment of such refund. Nothing contained herein shall impose an obligation on any Lender to apply for any such refund. 
  
 Section 3.04 Increased Costs to LC Issuers. If after the Closing Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or
regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any LC
Issuer or any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law, but if not having the force of law, being of a type as to which such Lender customarily complies) by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency
(in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date) shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuer or such Lender’s
participation therein, or (ii) shall impose on such LC Issuer or any Lender any other conditions affecting this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or such Lender’s participation 

  

 49 

 
therein; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such LC Issuer or such Lender of issuing, maintaining or participating in any
Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such LC Issuer or such Lender hereunder (other than any increased cost or reduction in the amount received or receivable resulting from the imposition of or a change in
the rate of taxes or similar charges), then, upon demand to the Borrower by such LC Issuer or such Lender (a copy of which notice shall be sent by such LC Issuer or such Lender to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such LC Issuer
or such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate any such LC Issuer or such Lender for such increased cost or reduction. A certificate submitted to the Borrower by any LC Issuer or any Lender, as the case may be (a copy of which
certificate shall be sent by such LC Issuer or such Lender to the Administrative Agent), setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for the determination of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate any LC Issuer or such Lender
as aforesaid shall be rebuttably presumed to be correct, although the failure to deliver any such certificate shall not release or diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.04. 
  
 Section 3.05 Change of Lending Office; Replacement of Lenders.

  
 (a) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event
giving rise to the operation of Sections 3.01(a)(ii) or (iii), 3.01(c), 3.03 or 3.04 requiring the payment of additional amounts to the Lender, such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy
considerations of such Lender) to designate another Applicable Lending Office for any Loans or Commitments affected by such event; provided, however, that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its Applicable Lending
Office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage deemed by such Lender to be material, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section. 
  
 (b) If (i) any Lender requests any compensation, reimbursement or other
payment under Sections 3.01(a)(ii) or (iii), 3.01(c) or 3.04 with respect to such Lender, or (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 3.03, 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 the restrictions contained in Section 11.06(c), all its interests,
rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations; provided, however, that 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, 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, including any breakage
compensation under Section 3.02 hereof). 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. Nothing in this Section 3.05 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 3.01, 3.03 or 3.04.

 ARTICLE V. 
  
 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
  
 In order to induce the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each LC Issuer to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and to issue and to
participate in the Letters of Credit provided for herein, the Borrower makes the following representations and warranties to, and agreements with, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each LC Issuer, all of which shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and each Credit Event: 
  
 Section 5.01
Corporate Status. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries (i) is a duly organized or formed and validly existing corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, in good standing or in full force and effect
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and has the corporate, partnership or limited liability company power and authority, as applicable, to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged and presently
proposes to engage, and (ii) has duly qualified and is authorized to do business in all jurisdictions where it is required to be so qualified or authorized except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
Schedule 5.01 hereto lists, as of the Closing Date, each Subsidiary of the Borrower (and the direct and indirect ownership interest of the Borrower therein). 
  

 53 

 Section 5.02 Corporate Power and Authority. Each Credit Party has the corporate or other
organizational power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents to which it is party and has taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and
performance of the Loan Documents to which it is party. Each Credit Party has duly executed and delivered each Loan Document to which it is party and each Loan Document to which it is party constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement and
obligation of such Credit Party enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws generally affecting
creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law). 
  
 Section 5.03 No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery and performance by any Credit Party of the Loan Documents to which it is party nor
compliance with the terms and provisions thereof (i) will contravene any provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority applicable to such Credit Party or its properties and
assets, except where such contravention would not have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) will conflict with or result in any breach of, any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the
creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien (other than the Liens created pursuant to the Security Documents) upon any of the property or assets of such Credit Party pursuant to the terms of any material promissory
note, bond, debenture, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit or loan agreement, or any other material agreement or other instrument, to which such Credit Party is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets are bound or to which it
may be subject, or (iii) will violate any provision of the Organizational Documents of such Credit Party. 
  
 Section 5.04 Governmental Approvals. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration
with, or exemption by, any Governmental Authority is required to authorize or is required as a condition to (i) the execution, delivery and performance by any Credit Party of any Loan Document to which it is a party or any of its obligations
thereunder, or (ii) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any Loan Document to which any Credit Party is a party, except the filing and recording of financing statements and other documents necessary in order to
perfect the Liens created by the Security Documents. 
  
 Section
5.05 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to, the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (i) that have had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a
Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) that question the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, or of any action to be taken by the Borrower or any of the other Credit Parties pursuant to any of the Loan Documents. Schedule
5.05 hereto sets forth certain actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to, the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, none of which items set forth on such Schedule 5.05 would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  

 54 

 Section 5.06 Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. 
  
 (a) The proceeds of all Loans and LC Issuances shall be used by the Borrower
to repay certain Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, for other Permitted Acquisitions, to make prepayments on the Senior Convertible Debentures to the extent that such prepayments are permitted, and proceeds of Loans are permitted to
be used therefor, pursuant to Section 7.06(c)(ii) and to provide working capital and funds for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, in each case, not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and not in violation
of law. 
  
 (b) No part of the proceeds of any Credit Event will
be used directly or indirectly to purchase or carry Margin Stock, or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, in violation of any of the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System. Borrower is not engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. At no time would more than 25% of the value of the assets of the Borrower or of the Borrower and its
consolidated Subsidiaries that are subject to any “arrangement” (as such term is used in Section 221.2(g) of such Regulation U) hereunder be represented by Margin Stock. 
  
 Section 5.07 Financial Statements. 
  
 (a) The Borrower has furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders complete and correct copies of the Financial
Statements. The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied (except as stated therein), and fairly present the financial position of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates indicated and
the consolidated results of their respective operations and cash flows for the respective periods indicated, subject in the case of any such financial statements that are unaudited, to normal audit adjustments, none of which could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries did not have, as of the date of the latest financial statements referred to above, and will not have as of the Closing Date after giving effect to the incurrence of Loans
or LC Issuances hereunder, any material or significant contingent liability or liability for taxes, long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments not reflected in the foregoing financial statements or the notes thereto in accordance
with GAAP and that in any such case is material in relation to the business, operations, properties, assets, financial or other condition or prospects of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. 
  
 (b) The financial projections of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the
fiscal years 2006 through 2009 prepared by the Borrower and delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (the “Financial Projections”) were prepared on behalf of the Borrower in good faith after taking into account
historical levels of business activity of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, known trends, including general economic trends, and all other information, assumptions and estimates considered by management of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to be
reasonably pertinent thereto; provided, however, that no representation or warranty is made as to the impact of future general economic conditions or as to whether the Borrower’s projected consolidated results as set forth in the
Financial Projections will actually be realized, it being recognized by the Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results for the periods covered by the Financial Projections may differ
materially from the Financial Projections. No facts not reflected in the Financial Projections are known to the Borrower as of the Closing Date which, if reflected in the Financial Projections, would result in a material adverse change in the
assets, liabilities, results of operations or cash flows reflected therein. 
  
 Section 5.08 Solvency. The Borrower has received consideration that is the reasonable equivalent value of the obligations and liabilities that the Borrower has incurred to the Administrative Agent, each LC
Issuer and the Lenders under the Loan Documents. The Borrower now has capital 

  

 55 

 
sufficient to carry on its business and transactions and all business and transactions in which it is about to engage and is now solvent and able to pay its
debts as they mature and the Borrower, as of the Closing Date, owns property having a value, both at fair valuation and at present fair salable value, greater than the amount required to pay the Borrower’s debts; and the Borrower is not
entering into the Loan Documents with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors. For purposes of this Section, “debt” means any liability on a claim, and “claim” means (x) right to payment whether or
not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured; or (y) right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach
gives rise to a payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured. 
  
 Section 5.09 No Material Adverse Change. Since July 31, 2005, there has been no change in the condition,
business or affairs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or their properties and assets considered as an entirety, except for changes none of which, individually or in the aggregate, has had or could reasonably be expected
to have, a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 Section 5.10 Tax
Returns and Payments. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has filed all federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns, domestic and foreign, required to be filed by it and has paid all material taxes and assessments payable
by it that have become due, other than those not yet delinquent and except for those contested in good faith. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have established on its books such charges, accruals and reserves in respect of taxes,
assessments, fees and other governmental charges for all fiscal periods as are required by GAAP. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries knows of any proposed assessment for additional federal, foreign or state taxes for any period, or of
any basis therefor, which, individually or in the aggregate, taking into account such charges, accruals and reserves in respect thereof as the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have made, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

  
 Section 5.11 Title to Properties, etc. Except as set
forth on Schedule 5.11, the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title, in the case of Real Property, and good title (or valid Leaseholds, in the case of any leased property), in the case of all other property, to all
of its properties and assets free and clear of Liens other than Permitted Liens. The interests of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the properties reflected in their most recent balance sheets, taken as a whole, are sufficient, in the judgment of
the Borrower, as of the date of such balance sheet for purposes of the ownership and operation of the businesses conducted by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. 
  

Section 5.12 Lawful Operations, etc. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries: (i) hold all necessary foreign, federal, state, local and
other governmental licenses, registrations, certifications, permits and authorizations necessary to conduct its business; and (ii) are in full compliance with all requirements imposed by law, regulation or rule, whether foreign, federal, state
or local, that are applicable to it, its operations, or its properties and assets, including, without limitation, applicable requirements of Environmental Laws, except for any failure to obtain and maintain in effect, or noncompliance, that,
individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 Section 5.13 Environmental Matters. 
  
 (a) The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries are in material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws. All material licenses, permits,
registrations or approvals required for the conduct of the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries under any Environmental Law have been secured or have an outstanding, timely application and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are in material
compliance therewith. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice, or otherwise 

  

 56 

 
knows, that it is in any respect in material noncompliance with, breach of or default under any applicable writ, order, judgment, injunction, or decree to
which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is a party or that would materially affect the ability of the Borrower or such Subsidiary to operate any Real Property. There are no material Environmental Claims pending or, to the best knowledge of any
Borrower, threatened. 
  
 (b) Hazardous Materials have not at any
time been (i) generated, used, treated or stored on any Real Property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) released on any such Real Property, in each case where such occurrence or event was conducted by the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries is not in compliance with Environmental Laws and is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 Section 5.14 Compliance with ERISA. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries and each ERISA Affiliate (i) has fulfilled all material
obligations under the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan that is not a Multiemployer Plan or a Multiple Employer Plan, (ii) has satisfied all material contribution obligations in respect of each
Multiemployer Plan and each Multiple Employer Plan, (iii) is in compliance in all material respects with all other applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan, each Multiemployer Plan and each Multiple Employer Plan,
and (iv) has not incurred any unsatisfied material liability under Title IV of ERISA to the PBGC (other than required premium payments to the PBGC) with respect to any Plan, any Multiemployer Plan, any Multiple Employer Plan, or any trust
established thereunder. No Plan or trust created thereunder has been terminated, and there have been no Reportable Events, with respect to any Plan or trust created thereunder or with respect to any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan,
which termination or Reportable Event will or could reasonably be expected to give rise to a material liability of the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate in respect thereof. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary of the Borrower nor any ERISA
Affiliate is at the date hereof, or has been at any time within the five years preceding the date hereof, an employer required to contribute to any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan, or a “contributing sponsor” (as such term is
defined in Section 4001 of ERISA) in any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary of the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has any contingent liability with respect to any post-retirement
“welfare benefit plan” (as such term is defined in ERISA) except as has been disclosed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in writing or as would not have or be reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

 
 Section 5.15 Intellectual Property, etc. The Borrower and each of
its Subsidiaries has obtained or has the rights to all material patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and other rights with respect to the foregoing necessary for the present and planned future conduct of its
business, without any known conflict with the rights of others, except in the case in which such conflict would not have or be reasonably expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 Section 5.16 Investment Company Act, etc. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to regulation
with respect to the creation or incurrence of Indebtedness under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Interstate Commerce Act, as amended, the Federal Power Act, as amended, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended,
or any applicable state public utility law.

the terms of Section 6.03.

time, in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors (as defined in the Security Agreement), superior to and prior to the rights of all third persons and subject to no other Liens, except for Permitted Liens. No
filings or recordings are required in order to perfect the security interests created under any Security Document except for filings or recordings required in connection with any such Security Document that shall have been made, or for which
satisfactory arrangements have been made, upon or prior to the execution and delivery thereof. All recording, stamp, intangible or other similar taxes required to be paid by any Person under applicable legal requirements or other laws applicable to
the property encumbered by the Security Documents in connection with the execution, delivery, recordation, filing, registration, perfection or enforcement thereof have been paid.

Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is only represented herein as being based on good faith estimates and assumptions believed by such persons to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such projections as to future
events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ materially from the projected results.

 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND OTHER AGENTS 
  
 Section 9.01 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints KeyBank to act as specified herein and in the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes KeyBank as
the Administrative Agent for such Lender, to take such action on its 

  

 74 

 
behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to,
the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such upon the express conditions contained in this
Article. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents, nor any fiduciary
relationship with any Lender or LC Issuer, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Except for Section 9.11,
the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and no Credit Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties
under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries. 
  
 Section 9.02 Delegation of Duties. The
Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact, and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.

  
 Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except for its or such
Related Parties’ own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their
respective officers contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or for any failure of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any of their respective officers to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any
Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary of the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for the effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Loan Document or for any
representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statement or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports, certificates or any other documents in connection herewith or
therewith furnished or made by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders or by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance
of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or therein or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or of the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. 
  
 Section 9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, e-mail or other electronic transmission, facsimile transmission,
telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or persons and upon advice and statements of legal
counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to
take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or 

  

 75 

 
concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability
and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders, as applicable, as to any matter that, pursuant to Section 11.12, can only be effectuated with the consent of all Lenders, or all Lenders, as the case may
be), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders. 
  
 Section 9.05 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event
of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the
event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be
reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from
taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. 
  
 Section 9.06 Non-Reliance. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties have made any
representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation
or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it 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 appraisal of and investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and made its own decision
to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, assets,
operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information
concerning the business, operations, assets, property, financial and other conditions, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related
Parties other than as specifically required by this Agreement. 
  
 Section 9.07 No Reliance on Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the
Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations
thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”). 
  
 Section 9.08 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not organized under the laws of the United States of
America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (a) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign
bank that maintains a 

  

 76 

 
physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (b) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository
institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of
the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations: (i) within 10 days after the Closing Date, and (ii) at such other times as are required under the USA Patriot Act. 
  
 Section 9.09 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties,
ratably according to their pro rata share of the Aggregate Credit Facility Exposure (excluding Swing Loans) (determined at the time such indemnification is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, reasonable expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) or such Related Parties in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or
the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent or such Related Parties under or in connection with any of the foregoing, but only to the extent that any of the foregoing is not paid by the
Borrower; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent resulting solely from the Administrative Agent’s or such Related Parties’ gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent or any such Related
Parties for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such
additional indemnity is furnished. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations. 
  
 Section 9.10 The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits
from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their Affiliates as though not acting as Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to the Loans made by it and all Obligations owing to it, the
Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the
Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. 
  
 Section 9.11
Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time upon not less than 30 days notice to the Lenders, each LC Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have
the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank or a trust company or other financial institution which maintains an office in the United States, or a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United
States of America or of any State thereof, or any affiliate of such bank or trust company or other financial institution which is engaged in the banking business, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. 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 and each LC Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the requirements set forth in the preceding sentence; provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no such
successor is willing to accept such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) 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 

  

 77 

 
Lenders or any LC Issuer 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 (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and LC Issuer directly, until
such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become
vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents (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
Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.02 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring
Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 
  
 Section 9.12 Other Agents. Except as expressly set forth elsewhere in
this Agreement, any Lender identified herein as a Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent, or Lead Arranger or any other corresponding title, other than “Administrative Agent,” shall have no right, power, obligation, liability,
responsibility or duty under this Agreement or any other Loan Document except those applicable to all Lenders as such. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any Lender so identified in deciding to enter into this
Agreement or in taking or not taking any action hereunder. 
  
 ARTICLE X. 
  
 GUARANTY 
  
 Section 10.01 Guaranty by the Borrower. The Borrower hereby
unconditionally guarantees, for the benefit of the Benefited Creditors, all of the following (collectively, the “Borrower Guaranteed Obligations”): (a) all reimbursement obligations and Unpaid Drawings with respect to Letters
of Credit issued for the benefit of any LC Obligor (other than the Borrower) under this Agreement, and (b) all amounts, indemnities and reimbursement obligations, direct or indirect, contingent or absolute, of every type or description, and at
any time existing owing by any Subsidiary of the Borrower under any Designated Hedge Agreement or any other document or agreement executed and delivered in connection therewith to any Designated Hedge Creditor, in all cases under subparts
(a) or (b) above, whether now existing, or hereafter incurred or arising, including any such interest or other amounts incurred or arising during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership or similar
proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding or subject to an automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code). Upon failure by any Credit Party to pay punctually any of the Borrower Guaranteed
Obligations, the Borrower shall forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the currency and otherwise in the manner specified in this Agreement or any other applicable agreement or instrument.

  
 Section 10.02 Additional Undertaking. As a separate,
additional and continuing obligation, the Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes and agrees, for the benefit of the Benefited Creditors that, should any Borrower Guaranteed Obligations not be recoverable from the Borrower under
Section 10.01 for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, by reason of any provision of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument executed in connection therewith being or becoming void, unenforceable, or otherwise
invalid under any applicable law) then, notwithstanding any notice or knowledge thereof by any Lender, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates, 

  

 78 

 
or any other person, at any time, the Borrower, as sole, original and independent obligor, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, will make payment to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Benefited Creditors, of all such obligations not so recoverable by way of full indemnity, in such currency and otherwise in such manner as is provided in the Loan Documents or any other applicable
agreement or instrument. 
  
 Section 10.03 Guaranty
Unconditional. The obligations of the Borrower under this Article shall be irrevocable, unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by the occurrence,
one or more times, of any of the following: 
  
 (a) any extension,
renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect to the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations under any agreement or instrument, by operation of law or otherwise; 
  
 (b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement, any Note, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or
instrument evidencing or relating to the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations; 
  
 (c) any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations under any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any of the Borrower Guaranteed
Obligations; 
  
 (d) any change in the corporate existence,
structure or ownership of any Credit Party or other Subsidiary or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Credit Party or other Subsidiary or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any
obligation of any Credit Party or other Subsidiary contained in any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations; 
  
 (e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Borrower may have at any time against any other Credit
Party, the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender or any other person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions; 
  
 (f) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any other Credit Party for any reason of any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating
to any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any Credit Party of any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations; or 
  
 (g) any other act or omission of any kind by any other Credit Party, the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this Article, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations under this Section, all of
which the Borrower hereby unconditionally waives to the fullest extent permitted by law, other than the irrevocable payment in full of all Borrower Guaranteed Obligations. 
  
 Section 10.04 Waivers. The Borrower unconditionally waives, to the maximum extent permitted under any applicable law
now or hereafter in effect, insofar as its obligations under this Article are concerned, (a) notice of any of the matters referred to in Section 10.03, (b) all notices required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve any
rights against the Borrower hereunder, including, without limitation, any demand, presentment, proof or notice of dishonor or non-payment of any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, notice of acceptance of the provisions of this Article X, notice
of the incurrence of any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, notice of any failure on the part of any Credit Party, any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any other Person, to perform or comply with any term or provision 

  

 79 

 
of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument to which the such Credit Party or any other Person is a party, or
notice of the commencement of any proceeding against any other Person or its any of its property or assets, (c) any right to the enforcement, assertion or exercise against any Credit Party or against any other Person or any collateral of any
right, power or remedy under or in respect of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument, and (d) any requirement that any such Credit Party be joined as a party to any proceedings against the Borrower or
any other Person for the enforcement of any term or provision of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article X or any other agreement or instrument. 
  
 Section 10.05 Borrower Obligations to Remain in Effect; Restoration. The Borrower’s obligations under this
Article shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments shall have terminated, and the principal of and interest on the Notes and other Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, and all other amounts payable by the Borrower, any other Credit
Party or other Subsidiary, under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, shall have been indefeasably paid in full. If at any time any payment of any of the
Borrower Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Credit Party, the Borrower’s obligations under this Article with respect to such payment shall be
reinstated at such time as though such payment had been due but not made at such time. 
  
 Section 10.06 Waiver of Acceptance, etc. The Borrower irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any
action be taken by any person against any other Credit Party or any other Person, or against any collateral or guaranty of any other Person. 
  
 Section 10.07 Subrogation. Until the indefeasible payment in full of all of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments hereunder, the
Borrower shall have no rights, by operation of law or otherwise, upon making any payment under this section to be subrogated to the rights of the payee against any other Credit Party with respect to such payment or otherwise to be reimbursed,
indemnified or exonerated by any such Credit Party in respect thereof. 
  
 Section 10.08 Effect of Stay. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any Credit Party under any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization
of such Credit Party, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any applicable agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Borrower
under this Article forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent. 
  
 ARTICLE XI. 
  
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 Section 11.01 Payment of Expenses, etc. The Borrower agrees to pay all
of the following: (i) whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger in connection with the negotiation,
preparation, syndication, administration and execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein and the syndication of the Commitments; (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the
Administrative Agent in connection with any amendment, waiver or consent relating to any of the Loan Documents; (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger and the 

  

 80 

 
Lenders and any of their Affiliates that are owed any Obligations in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of any individual counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger and a single counsel for the Lenders (including, without limitation, allocated costs of internal counsel); (iv) any and
all present and future stamp and other similar taxes with respect to the foregoing matters and save the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or
omission (other than to the extent attributable to any such indemnified Person) to pay such taxes. 
  
 Section 11.02 Indemnification. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Lead Arranger and their respective
Related Parties (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and hold each of them harmless against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses reasonably incurred by any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in
any way related to, or by reason of (i) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not any such Indemnitee is a party thereto) related to the entering into and/or performance of any Loan Document or the use of the proceeds of
any Loans hereunder or the consummation of any transactions contemplated in any Loan Document, or (ii) (A) the presence of Hazardous Materials in the air, surface water or groundwater or on the surface or subsurface of any Real Property
owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) the release, generation, storage, transportation, handling or disposal of Hazardous Materials at any location, whether or not owned or operated by the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries, if the Borrower or any such Subsidiary could have or is alleged to have any responsibility in respect thereof pursuant to Environmental Laws, (C) the non-compliance by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries with Environmental
Laws (including applicable permits thereunder) applicable thereto, or (D) any Environmental Claim asserted against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, in respect of any such owned, leased or operated Real Property, including, in the case
of each of (i) and (ii) above, without limitation, the reasonable documented fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding (but excluding any such losses, liabilities,
claims, damages or expenses to the extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified or of any other Indemnitee who is such Person or an Affiliate of such Person). To the extent that the
undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless any Person set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction
of each of the indemnified liabilities that is permissible under applicable law. 
  
 Section 11.03 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender and each LC Issuer is hereby authorized, except to the extent prohibited by law, at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to the Borrower or to
any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender or such LC Issuer (including,
without limitation, by branches, agencies and Affiliates of such Lender or LC Issuer wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to such Lender or LC
Issuer under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or LC Issuer shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be
contingent or unmatured. Each Lender and LC Issuer agrees to promptly notify the Borrower after any such set off and application, provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and
application. 
  

 81 

 Section 11.04 Equalization. 
  
 (a) Equalization. If at any time any Lender receives any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by
realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents, or otherwise) that is applicable to the payment of the principal of,
or interest on, the Loans (other than Swing Loans), LC Participations, Swing Loan Participations or Fees (other than Fees that are intended to be paid solely to the Administrative Agent or an LC Issuer and amounts payable to a Lender under Article
III), of a sum that with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the
Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations to such Lenders in such amount as shall
result in a proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such amount. 
  
 (b) Recovery of Amounts. If any amount paid to any Lender pursuant to subpart (a) above is recovered in whole or in part from such Lender, such original purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price
restored ratably to the extent of the recovery. 
  
 (c) Consent
of Borrower. 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 set-off 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. 
  
 Section 11.05 Notices. 
  
 (a) Generally. Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone (and except as

 (c) Electronic Communications. 
  
 (i) Notices and other communications to the Administrative Agent, an LC Issuer or any Lender hereunder and
required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 6.01(a), (b), (c), (d), (h), (i), (j) or (k) may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet web sites) pursuant to procedures approved by
the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer or the Borrower may, in their discretion, agree in a separate writing to accept notices and other communications to them hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures
approved by them, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (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), provided
that 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, and
(ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet web site 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

 (ii) The Borrower agrees that the Administrative may make any information delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant
to Section 6.01 available to the Lenders by posting such notices on a secured website (such as Intralinks) or another secured electronic medium acceptable to the Borrower. The Borrower acknowledges that (A) the distribution of material
through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (B) such secured website and other electronic medium are provided “as is” and “as
available” and (C) neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of any such secured website or other electronic medium and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or
omissions in any material or other information distributed via any such secured website or other electronic medium. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a
particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection with any such secured website or other electronic medium.

  
 (iii) Each Lender agrees that notice to such
Lender (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that any information provided by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.01 has been posted on any secured website or other electronic medium in accordance with
Section 11.05(c)(ii) above shall constitute effective delivery of such information to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement; provided that if requested by any Lender the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of such information
to such Lender by email or telecopier. Each Lender agrees (A) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail address to which such 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 (B) that any notice may be sent to such
e-mail address. 
  

 83 

 (d) Change of Address, Etc. Any party hereto may change its address or telecopier number for
notices and other communications hereunder by notice to each of the other parties hereto in accordance with Section 11.05(a). 
  
 Section 11.06 Successors and Assigns. 
  
 (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all the Lenders, provided, further, that
any assignment or participation by a Lender of any of its rights and obligations hereunder shall be effected in accordance with this Section 11.06. 
  
 (b) Participations. Each Lender may at any time grant participations in any of its rights hereunder or under any of the Notes to an Eligible
Assignee, provided that in the case of any such participation, 
  
 (i) the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including rights of consent, approval or waiver (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of
such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto), 
  
 (ii) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitments hereunder) shall remain
unchanged, 
  
 (iii) such Lender shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, 
  
 (iv) such Lender shall remain the holder of the Obligations owing to it and of any Note issued to it for all purposes of this Agreement,
and 
  
 (v) the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with the selling Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined
as if such Lender had not sold such participation, except only that the participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article III, and only to the extent that such Lender would be entitled to such benefits in the same amount and to the same
degree if the participation had not been entered into or sold, 
  
 and,
provided further, that no Lender shall transfer, grant or sell any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except to the extent such
amendment or waiver would (x) extend the final scheduled maturity or the date of any Scheduled Repayment of any of the Loans in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees
thereon (except in connection with a waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase such participant’s participating interest in any Commitment over the amount
thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute a change in the terms of any such Commitment), (y) release all or any substantial portion of the Collateral, or release any
guarantor from its guaranty of any of the Obligations, except strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or (z) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement.

  

 84 

 (c) Assignments by Lenders. 
  
 (i) Any Lender may assign all, or if less than all, any portion of its Loans, LC Participations, Swing Loan
Participations and/or Commitments and its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more Eligible Assignees, each of which shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment Agreement; provided, however, that

  
 (A) except in the case (x) of an assignment of the
entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments or (y) an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund of any Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment so assigned (which for
this purpose includes the Loans outstanding thereunder) shall not be less than (1) $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment relating to a Revolving Commitment, or (2) $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment relating to a Term
Commitment; 
  
 (B) in the case of any assignment to an Eligible
Assignee at the effective time of any such assignment, as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with subsection (iv) below, the Lender Register shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments of such new Lender and of the
existing Lenders; 
  
 (C) upon surrender of the old Notes, if
any, upon request of the new Lender, new Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender, to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments; and 
  
 (D) unless waived by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent
shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 (treating multiple contemporaneous assignments to or from Approved Funds of a single Lender as one
assignment for purposes of such requirement). 
  
 (ii) To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this subpart (c), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments. 
  
 (iii) At the time of each assignment pursuant to this subpart (c) to a Person that is not already a
Lender hereunder, the respective assignee Lender shall provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the applicable Internal Revenue Service Forms (and any necessary additional documentation) described in Section 3.03(b). 
  
 (iv) With respect to any Lender, the transfer of any
Commitment of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitment shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Lender Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with
respect to ownership of such Commitment and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitment and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or
part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Lender Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment Agreement pursuant to this subpart (c).

  

 85 

 (v) Nothing in this Section shall prevent or prohibit (A) any Lender that is a bank,
trust company or other financial institution from pledging its Notes or Loans to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank, or (B) any Lender that is a trust, limited liability company,
partnership, fund or other investment company from pledging its Notes or Loans to a trustee or agent for the benefit of holders of certificates or debt securities issued by it. No such pledge, or any assignment pursuant to or in lieu of an
enforcement of such a pledge, shall relieve the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder. 
  
 (d) No SEC Registration or Blue Sky Compliance. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, no transfer or assignment of the interests or
obligations of any Lender hereunder or any grant of participation therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would require the Borrower to file a registration statement with the SEC or to qualify the Loans under the “Blue
Sky” laws of any State. 
  
 (e) Representations of
Lenders. Each Lender initially party to this Agreement hereby represents, and each Person that becomes a Lender pursuant to an assignment permitted by this Section will, upon its becoming party to this Agreement, represents that it is a
commercial lender, other financial institution or other “accredited” investor (as defined in SEC Regulation D) that makes or acquires loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it will make or acquire Loans for its own
account in the ordinary course of such business; provided, however, that subject to the preceding Sections 11.06(b) and (c), the disposition of any promissory notes or other evidences of or interests in Indebtedness held by such Lender shall
at all times be within its exclusive control. 
  
 Section 11.07
No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver
of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or any LC Issuance shall not be construed
as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any LC Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. The rights and remedies herein expressly
provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the Administrative Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. 
  
 Section 11.08 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. 
  
 (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL
BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE
BORROWER HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM TO ASSERT THAT THE LAW OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK GOVERNS THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be brought in the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County or in the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and, by 

  

 86 

 
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally,
the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. The Borrower hereby further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified
mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address for notices pursuant to Section 11.05, such service to become effective 30 days after such mailing or at such earlier time as may be provided under applicable law. Nothing herein shall
affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Borrower in any other jurisdiction. 
  
 (b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any objection that it may now or
hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document brought in the courts referred to in Section 11.08(a) above and hereby further
irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
  
 (c) EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING
OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS OR OTHER MODIFICATIONS RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING), OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY
OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY (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 PARAGRAPH. 
  
 Section 11.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same agreement. A set of counterparts
executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
  
 Section 11.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof or thereof; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any term or provision set
forth in that certain Mandate Letter, dated as of October 26, 2005, between the Borrower and KeyBank and that certain Arrangement Fee Letter, dated as of October 26, 2005, between the Borrower and KeyBank that, pursuant to the express
terms of either such letter, survives beyond the Closing Date, shall continue to remain in effect in accordance with the terms of such letters. 
  
 Section 11.11 Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several Sections and other portions of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and
shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement. 
  

 87

Commitment provided for in Section 2.12 to which a Revolving Lender shall be entitled shall be made without the written consent of each Revolving Lender and the Required Term Lenders; 
  

 88 

 (iii) unless another subpart of this Section 11.12 is specifically applicable, no
change, waiver or other modification directly affecting the rights and benefits of the Revolving Lenders or the Term Lenders, as applicable, and not all Lenders in a like or similar manner, shall be made without the written consent of the Required

non-controversial nature, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, and any such change, waiver or modification approved by the Administrative Agent shall be binding on the Lenders. 
  
 Any waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement given or made in accordance with this
Section shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given or made. 
  
 (b) No provision of Section 2.05 or any other provision in this Agreement specifically relating to Letters of Credit may be amended without the
consent of any LC Issuer adversely affected thereby. 
  
 (c) No

 Section 11.13 Survival of Indemnities. All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Article III
(subject to the limitations set forth Section 3.01(c)), Section 9.09 or Section 11.02 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making and repayment of the Obligations and any assignment made pursuant to
Section 11.06(c). 
  
 Section 11.14 Domicile of Loans.
Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any branch office, subsidiary or affiliate of such Lender; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be responsible for costs arising under Section 3.01
resulting from any such transfer (other than a transfer pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent not otherwise applicable to such Lender with respect to its Loans prior to such transfer. 
  
 Section 11.15 Confidentiality. 
  
 (a) Each of the Administrative Agent, each LC Issuer and the Lenders agrees
to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information, except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, trustees, employees and agents, including accountants, legal
counsel and other advisors in connection with the performance of their duties relating to the Credit Parties and the Loan Documents (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of
such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential), (ii) to any direct contractual counterparty in any Hedge Agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor, so long
as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 11.15, (iii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (iv) to the extent required by applicable laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (v) to any other party to this Agreement, (vi) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or any suit, action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vii) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 11.15, to any assignee
of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, or (viii) with the consent of the Borrower. 
  
 (b) As used in this Section, “Confidential Information” means all information received from the Borrower
relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower. 
  
 (c) Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential
Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as would be exercised by
a prudent person, acting reasonably and responsibly. The Borrower hereby agrees that the failure of the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender to comply with the provisions of this Section shall not relieve the Borrower, or any other
Credit Party, of any of their obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. 
  

 90 

 Section 11.16 Limitations on Liability of the LC Issuers. The Borrower assumes all risks of the
acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letters of Credit. Neither any LC Issuer nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be
made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be
in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by an LC Issuer against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference
or adequate reference to such Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the LC Obligor shall have a claim against an LC Issuer, and an LC
Issuer shall be liable to such LC Obligor, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by such LC Obligor that such LC Obligor proves were caused by (i) such LC Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or
failure to follow the standards of care specified in the UCC or (ii) such LC Issuer’s willful failure to make lawful payment under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of documentation strictly complying with the terms and
conditions of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, an LC Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation. 
  
 Section 11.17 General Limitation of Liability. No claim may be made by
any Credit Party, any Lender, the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer or any other Person against the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer, or any other Lender or the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents of any of them for
any damages other than actual compensatory damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or
any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and the Borrower hereby, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, waives, releases and agrees not to sue or counterclaim upon any such claim for any special, consequential or
punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. 
  
 Section 11.18 Lenders and Agent Not Fiduciary to Borrower, etc. The relationship among the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the
Administrative Agent, each LC Issuer and the Lenders, on the other hand, is solely that of debtor and creditor, and the Administrative Agent, each LC Issuer and the Lenders have no fiduciary or other special relationship with the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, and no term or provision of any Loan Document, no course of dealing, no written or oral communication, or other action, shall be construed so as to deem such relationship to be other than that of debtor and creditor. 
  
 Section 11.19 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All
representations and warranties herein shall survive the making of Loans and all LC Issuances hereunder, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes and the other documents the forms of which are attached as Exhibits hereto, the issue and
delivery of the Notes, any disposition thereof by any holder thereof, and any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other holder of any of the Notes or on its behalf. 
  
 Section 11.20 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. 
  

 91 

 Section 11.21 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect
so that if a particular action, event, condition or circumstance is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations or restrictions of, another covenant,
shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or event, condition or circumstance exists. 
  
 Section 11.22 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan,
together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be
contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be
limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges
payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Base Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received
by such Lender. 
  
 Section 11.23 Judgment Currency. If the
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, obtains a judgment or judgments against the Borrower in a Designated Foreign Currency, any Dollar denominated obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum adjudged to be due to the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the Notes (the “Judgment Amount”) shall be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Judgment Amount in the Designated
Foreign Currency, the Administrative Agent, in accordance with normal banking procedures, may purchase Dollars with the Judgment Amount in such Designated Foreign Currency. If the amount of Dollars so purchased is less than the amount of Dollars
that could have been purchased with the Judgment Amount on the date or dates the Judgment Amount (excluding the portion of the Judgment Amount which has accrued as a result of the failure of the Borrower to pay the sum originally due hereunder or
under the Notes when it was originally due hereunder or under the Notes) was originally due and owing (the “Original Due Date”) to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the Notes (the “Loss”),
the Borrower agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against the Loss, and if the amount of Dollars so purchased exceeds the amount of Dollars
that could have been purchased with the Judgment Amount on the Original Due Date, the Administrative Agent or such Lender agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower. 
  
 Section 11.24 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender subject to the USA Patriot Act hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant
to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to
identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA Patriot Act. 
  
 Section 11.25 Amendment and Restatement. The parties hereto agree that this Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Existing Credit Agreement and that references to the “Credit Agreement” in the other Loan
Documents shall be considered references to this Agreement.
