ARTICLE INDIVIDUAL

DEFERRED COMPENSATION AND CREDITS TO ACCOUNTS

 

4.1Election to Defer Compensation.  A Qualified Employee may elect to have part of the Compensation for a Plan Year credited to his or her Accounts rather than being paid in cash. The Compensation otherwise payable to a Participant who elects to defer compensation under this section shall be reduced by the percentage or amount so elected, subject to the following:

 

A.Elections shall be written and made in the manner specified by the Company (which may include an electronic form). Elections for each Plan Year must be completed during the election period specified by the Company for such Plan Year, which period must end on or prior to December 31 of the previous year for Base Compensation elections and for Other Bonus Compensation elections, and no later than June 30 of the current Plan Year for Performance-Based Bonus Compensation elections, subject to the following:

 

1.In the first year in which an individual becomes a Qualified Employee, such individual may make an election to defer Compensation with respect to services to be performed subsequent to the election within 30 days following the date the individual becomes a Qualified Employee, and the election will be effective as of the first day of the first pay period commencing after the election is made.

 

2.An election to defer Performance-Based Bonus Compensation shall be available only to Participants who perform services continuously from the later of beginning of the applicable performance period or the date the performance period criteria are established through the date an election is made under this Subsection A, and whose election to defer such Performance-Based Bonus Compensation is made before the Compensation is readily ascertainable. In general, any amount that is both calculable and substantially certain to be paid, as defined in Treasury Reg. Section 1.409A-2(a)(8), is treated as readily ascertainable.

 

B.The Participant may elect to defer any whole percent of Base Compensation payable during each pay period, but not more than 50% of Base Compensation. 

 

 

 

C.The Participant may elect to defer any whole percent (up to and including 100%) of any payment of Bonus Compensation Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, without amending the Plan, limit the maximum amount of Bonus Compensation that may be deferred under the Plan.

 

D.The Participant’s election for each Plan Year shall specify the portion of the amount deferred during that year that is to be allocated to the Participant’s Retirement Account and the portion that is to be allocated to the Participant’s Fixed Period Account. The election must be stated in whole percents and must total 100%. If the Participant fails to make an adequate election under this subsection, the entire amount deferred (or the portion of the deferral which is not specifically allocated to a Fixed Period Account, if applicable) shall be allocated to the Participant’s Retirement Account.

 

E.The deferred compensation credited under the Plan on behalf of a Participant for a Plan Year shall be allocated to the Accounts of the Participant as of the date that the Base Compensation or Bonus Compensation would otherwise have been paid to the Participant in cash.

 

F.The Participant must make a separate election with the Company for each Plan Year for which elective deferrals under this Section 4.1 are to be made under this Plan. An election for a Plan Year shall become irrevocable on the last day of the preceding Plan Year for Base Compensation and Other Bonus Compensation elections and no later than June 30 of the Current Plan Year for Performance-Based Bonus Compensation, as the Company may require. Elections will not carry over into subsequent Plan Years.

 

G.Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.1 to the contrary, elections to defer Performance-Based Bonus Compensation and Other Bonus Compensation attributable to services performed during the year ended December 31, 2004, may be made on or before December 31, 2004. Pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-6(a)(ii), the Company explicitly identifies such amounts as amounts deferred under the Plan with respect to the 2004 calendar year and as subject in all respects to Code Section 409A commencing January 1, 2005.

 

4.2Election as to Form of Payment.  The Participant shall make an election as to how the balance in the Participant’s Accounts will be distributed. The election must be in written and made in the manner specified by the Company (which may include an electronic form). The Participant may elect to have the Participant’s balance distributed in (1) a lump sum, or (2) in annual installments for any number of years up to 10 years. If the Participant fails to make an election for an Account as provided herein, then the Participant will be deemed to have elected the lump sum distribution option for such Account. All elections as to form of payment shall be irrevocable. The time for making such elections is as follows:

 

A.With respect to the Participant’s Retirement Account, the Participant shall elect the form of payment at the time the Participant first enrolls in the Plan pursuant to Sec. 4.1.

 

 

B.With respect to the Participant’s Fixed Period Account, the Participant shall elect the form of payment at the time the Participant first elects to defer Compensation into such Fixed Period Account.

 

4.3Employer Credits.  The Board, or its authorized delegate, may determine in its sole discretion that a credit will be made by the Company or other Participating Employer to the Retirement Account of one or more eligible Participants for a particular Plan Year. If a credit is to be made for a particular Participant for a Plan Year, the Board, or its authorized delegate, will determine the amount of the credit, the date or dates on which the amount will be credited to the Participant’s Retirement Account, and any rules the Participant must satisfy to receive the credit. Such rules may include, but are not limited to, requirements that the Participant must be employed by a Participating Employer on a particular date during or after the end of the Plan Year, that the Participant must complete a certain number of hours of service during the Plan Year, or that the Participant must meet certain performance standards for the year.

 

4.4Investment Credits And Valuation Of Accounts.  The Accounts of each Participant will be adjusted as of each Valuation Date to reflect Investment Credits, deferrals allocated to the Account under Sec. 4.1, Employer Credits allocated under Sec. 4.3, and distributions from the Account under Article V, in each case since the previous Valuation Date, subject to the following:

 

A.Investment Credits will be based on the investment index or indexes selected by the Participant to measure the deemed rate of investment return on his or her Accounts. The investment indexes will include such investment options as the Company makes available under this Plan from time to time. The Company may in its sole discretion add additional options or delete existing options available to a Participant at any time, provided the Participant has been notified as described in Sec. 7.1. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to purchase any investments used for determining Investment Credits. The investment indexes are used solely for the recordkeeping purpose of measuring gains and losses on each Participant’s Accounts, and the Participant’s Accounts are not actually being invested in the indexes.

 

B.All investment elections shall be written and made in the form specified by the Company (which may include an electronic form) and provided to the Company or with such agent or agents as may be designated from time to time by the Company for this purpose. Subject to subsection A. above, each investment election shall remain in effect until a new election is filed by the Participant.

 

C.An initial investment election shall be filed by the Participant when an Account is first established for the Participant. Thereafter, the Participant may change the investment indexes for existing Account balances and future credits effective as of any Valuation Date, provided the change is filed prior to the deadline that may be established by the Company or its designated agent from time to time for the desired effective date. All investment elections must be expressed in whole percent increments for each option.

 

 

D.A Participant may file separate investment elections for his or her Retirement Account and all Fixed Period Accounts, and may also file separate investment elections for the existing Account balance and for future amounts to be credited to each Account. If the Participant fails to file an effective investment election for all or part of an Account, that amount shall be credited with Investment Credits according the yield on a default investment option designated by the Company from time to time.

 

E.If distributions are to be made in installments following the death of a Participant, each Beneficiary shall have the same right to make investment elections for the portion of the Participant’s Accounts held on behalf of the Beneficiary as the Participant had prior to death.

 

F.All investment elections shall be in accordance with such rules and regulations as the Company or its designated agent may establish from time to time. The Company or its agent may also establish such procedures for the valuation of Accounts as the Company or its agent determines in its sole discretion will reasonably reflect the period of time amounts were credited to each Account.

 

G.Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may modify or disregard an investment election filed by a Participant to the extent the Company determines that such action is necessary to comply with the terms of this Plan or to avoid adverse tax consequences to the Participant or any Participating Employer. The Company may delay the implementation of Participant investment elections under this section to a date later than January 1, 2005 in which case the Participant’s Accounts will be credited during the period of the delay with Investment Credits at a rate or index established by the Company for this purpose prior to January 1, 2005.

 

4.5Unsecured Obligations.  A Participant’s credits in his or her Accounts shall be an unsecured obligation of the Participating Employer for which the Participant is or was employed. Each Participant or Beneficiary is only a general creditor of the Participating Employer with respect to his or her Accounts. Accounts are maintained for recordkeeping purposes only. Notwithstanding the foregoing, obligations to pay benefits under this Plan may be satisfied by distributions from a grantor trust created by the Company in his sole discretion for such purpose. Each Participant shall cooperate with the Company and shall execute any documents or submit to any physical examination reasonably required by the Company in connection with the administration of the Plan.

 

 

 

4.6Changes in Time or Form of Distribution.  A Participant may make a subsequent election to change the time and/or form of a distribution initially specified under Sec. 4.1 and Sec. 4.2 with respect to one or more Fixed Period Accounts, but only if the following conditions are satisfied:

In the case of a claim for disability benefits, then instead of the above, the Company will provide the claimant with written notification of the Plan’s adverse benefit determination within a reasonable period of time, but not later than 45 days after receipt of the claim by the Company. The disability notification period may be extended by the Company for up to 30 days, provided that the Company both determines that such an extension is necessary due to matters beyond the control of the Company and notifies the claimant, prior to the expiration of the initial 45-day period, of the circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Company expects to render a decision. If, prior to the end of the first 30-day extension period the Company determines that, due to matters beyond its control, a decision on the disability benefit cannot be rendered within that extension period, the period for making the determination may be extended for up to an additional 30 days, provided that the Company notifies the claimant, prior to the expiration of the first 30-day extension period, of the circumstances requiring the extension and the date as of which the Company expects to render a decision. In the case of any such extension relating to a disability benefit, the notice of extension will specifically explain the standards on which entitlement to a benefit is based, the unresolved issues that prevent a decision on the claim, and the additional information needed to resolve those issues, and the claimant will be afforded at least 45 days within which to provide the specified information.

 

6.3Review Procedure.  If a claim is denied in whole or in part, or if it is deemed denied, the claimant has 60 days after receipt of the written notice of denial of the claim, or 60 days after the claim is deemed denied, in which to file a written request with the Company that it conduct a review of the claim. If the claim is for disability benefits, then the request for review must be filed within 180 days after receipt of the denial or after the claim is deemed denied. In connection with the claimant’s appeal of the denial of a benefit, the claimant may review pertinent documents and may submit issues and comments in writing. The claimant will be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim for benefits. The claimant will have a reasonable opportunity for full and fair review of the claim and adverse determination. This review will take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. In addition, if the claim is for disability benefits, then the following rules apply: (a) The claim will be reviewed without deference to the initial adverse benefit determination and the review will be conducted by an appropriate named fiduciary of the Plan who is neither an individual who made the adverse benefit determination that is the subject of the appeal, nor the subordinate of such individual (and who shall be designated by the Company). (b) In deciding an appeal of any adverse benefit determination that is based in whole or part on medical judgment, the appropriate named fiduciary will consult with a health care professional who has appropriate training and experience in the field of medicine involved in the medical judgment. (c) Any medical or vocational experts whose advise was obtained on behalf of 

 

 

the Plan in connection with the adverse benefit determination will be identified, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination. (d) The health care professional engaged for purposes of a consultation under (b) above will be an individual who is neither an individual who was consulted in connection with the adverse benefit determination that is the subject of the appeal, nor the subordinate of any such individual.  In addition, in the case of a claim regarding disability, before a final adverse benefit determination is made, the administrator will provide the claimant, free of charge, with any new or additional evidence or rationale considered, relied upon, or generated by the plan in connection with the claim as soon as possible and sufficiently in advance of the final notice to give the claimant a reasonable opportunity to respond prior to that date.

 

The claimant will be provided with written notification of the Plan’s benefit determination on review. The notification must be provided to the claimant not later than 60 days after the receipt of the claimant’s request for review, unless special circumstances (such as the need to hold a hearing, if necessary) require an extension of time for processing, in which case the 60 day period may be extended for a period of 60 days from the end of the initial period. If the claim relates to disability benefits, then 45 days will apply instead of 60 days in the preceding sentences. The claimant will be notified in writing of any extension. In the case of an adverse benefit determination on review, the notification will set forth [i] specific reasons for the adverse determination, [ii] reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the benefit determination is based, [iii] a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim, and [iv] a statement of the claimant’s right to bring an action under ERISA Section 502(a) and any applicable contractual limitations period that applies to the claimant's right to bring such an action. In the case of disability benefits, the Company’s written notification of any adverse benefit determination will be provided in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner and must contain the following information [v] if an internal rule, guideline, protocol, or other similar criterion was relied upon in making the adverse determination: either the specific rule, guideline, protocol, or other similar criterion, or a statement that such rule, guideline, protocol, or other similar criterion was relied upon in making the adverse determination and that a copy of the rule, guideline, protocol, or other similar criterion will be provided to the claimant free of charge upon request, [iv] a discussion of the decision, including an explanation of the basis for disagreeing with or not following: the views provided by the claimant’s health care or vocation professionals who treated and evaluated the claimant; the views of medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained by the plan, regardless of whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination; and any disability determination made by the Social Security Administration, [v] if the adverse benefit determination is based on medical necessity, experimental treatment, or similar exclusion or limit, either an explanation of the scientific or clinical judgement for the determination, applying the terms of the plan to the claimant’s medical circumstances, or a statement that an explanation will be provided free of charge upon request.

 

 

 

ARTICLE VII

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

 

7.1Amendment.  The Plan may be amended in whole or in part at any time for a reason by action of the Board, or by action of any person to whom that authority has been delegated by the Board.

After such termination, no employee shall become a Participant, and no further amounts shall be credited pursuant to Sec. 4.1 or Sec. 4.3 to Accounts of Participants.

8.1Benefits May Not Be Assigned Or Alienated.  Neither a Participant nor any Beneficiary shall have the right to sell, assign, transfer, encumber or otherwise convey any right to receive any payment hereunder. No part of the amounts payable hereunder shall be subject to seizure or sequestration for the payment of any debts or judgments owed by a Participant or any other person; provided however, that the Company may offset the obligations to the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary hereunder by any debt of the Participant to the Company or any other Participating Employer where such debt is incurred in the ordinary course of the business relationship between the Participant and the Company; and provided further, that (i) the entire amount of reduction in any taxable year of the Company does not exceed $5,000 and (ii) the reduction is made at the same time and in the same amount as the debt otherwise would have been due and collected from the Participant.

 

8.2Right to Limit Deferrals.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company and any Participating Employer reserves the right to limit the aggregate amount of deferrals made by Participants during a Plan year to $5,000,000, or such other amount specified in subsection 5(e) of Rule 701 of Regulation E of the Securities Act of 1933 if the Company or such Participating Employer determines that it is desirable to do so. The manner of limiting deferrals under this paragraph will be determined by the Company or such Participating Employer as the case may be. Such deferral limit for any given Plan Year shall be imposed prior to the date deferrals are required to be or become irrevocable for that Plan Year under Code Section 409A, the regulations thereunder, and Article IV of this Plan.

 

8.3Incompetency.  Every person receiving or claiming benefits under this Plan shall be conclusively presumed to be mentally competent until the date on which the Company received a written notice in a form and manner acceptable to the Company that 

 

 

such person is incompetent and that a guardian, conservator or other person legally vested with the care of his or her estate has been appointed. In such event, the Company may direct payments of benefits to such guardian, conservator or other person legally vested with the care of the person’s estate and any such payments so made shall be a complete discharge of the Participating Employers to the extent so made.

 

8.4Successor Employer.  The Plan shall be binding on the Company and its assigns, each Participating Employer and its assigns, and any entity that succeeds to the business of the Company or another Participating Employer through merger, consolidation, or acquisition of all or substantially all the Company’s assets or another Participating Employer’s assets.

8.6Severability.  The invalidity or partial invalidity of any portion of this Plan shall not invalidate the remainder thereof, and said remainder shall remain in full force and effect.

 

8.7Headings.  Headings at the beginning of articles and sections hereof are for convenience of reference, shall not be considered a part of the text of the Plan, and shall not influence its construction.

8.12Code Section 409A.  It is intended that the Plan comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A. The Plan and each deferral agreement will be administered in a manner consistent with this intent. Installment payments made under the Plan will be treated as the entitlement to a “single payment” for purposes of Code Section 409A. A Participant is solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on a Participant in connection with the Plan (including any taxes and penalties under Code Section 409A), and the Company has no obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold a Participant harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties.

 ARTICLE II 

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE ADVANCES 

SECTION 2.01    The Advances.  Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth, to make Advances in Dollars to the Borrower on the Closing Date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall be made on the Closing Date by the Lenders ratably according to their respective Commitments. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01 and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. 

SECTION 2.02    Making the Advances.  (a)   Each Borrowing shall be made
on notice, given not later than (x) 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, or (y) 2:00 P.M. (New York
City time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, by the Borrower to the Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof in writing. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a
“Notice of Borrowing”) shall be in writing in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing,
(iii) aggregate amount of such Borrowing, and (iv) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances the initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each Lender shall, before 4:00 P.M. (New York City time) on
the date of each Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. After the Agent’s receipt of such
funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower at the Agent’s address referred to in Section 9.02. 

  
 Interpublic Term Loan
Credit Agreement 
  
 18 

 (b)      Anything in
subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrower may not select Eurodollar Rate Advances for any Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less than $5,000,000 or if the obligation of the Lenders to make
Eurodollar Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.08 or 2.12 and (ii) the Eurodollar Rate Advances may not be outstanding as part of more than five separate Borrowings. 

(c)      Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the
Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of
any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or
expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on
such date. 
 (d)      Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender prior to the time of any Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Agent on the date of
such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 2.02 and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such
Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Agent, such Lender agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made
available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent provided, however, that if such Lender does not repay the Agent the Borrower agrees to repay the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with
interest thereon, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the higher of (A) the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances comprising such Borrowing and (B) the cost of funds incurred by the Agent in respect of such amount and
(ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this
Agreement. 
 (e)      The failure of any Lender to make the Advance, to be
made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be
made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.03    [Reserved]

SECTION 2.04    Fees.  (a)  Ticking Fee.  The Borrower
shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Ratable Share, a ticking fee (the “Ticking Fee”) equal to the Applicable Percentage per annum times the daily unused amount of the Commitments of all
Lenders hereunder outstanding from time to time payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each of calendar quarter. The Ticking Fee shall accrue on the aggregate amount of the Commitments from August 31, 2018 until the earlier of

(a)      Ratable Reduction.   The Borrower shall have the
right, upon at least one Business Day’s notice to the Agent, permanently to terminate in whole or to reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the respective Commitments of the Lenders, provided that each partial reduction shall be in the
aggregate amount of $25,000,000 or an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. 

(b)      Non-Ratable Reduction.
  The Borrower shall have the right, at any time, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to a Defaulting Lender (with a copy to the Agent), to terminate in whole such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Such termination shall be
effective with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment on the date set forth in such notice, provided, however, that such date shall be no earlier than three Business Days after receipt of such notice. Upon termination of a Lender’s
Commitment under this Section 2.05(b), the Borrower will pay all principal of, and interest accrued to the date of such payment on, Advances owing to such Defaulting Lender and pay any accrued Ticking Fee payable to such Defaulting Lender
pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.04(a), and all other amounts then payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (including, but not limited to, any increased costs, additional interest or other amounts owing under Section 2.11, any
indemnification for Taxes under Section 2.14, and any compensation payments due as provided in Section 9.04(c)); and upon such payments, the obligations of such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall, by the provisions hereof, be released and
discharged; provided, however, that (i) such Defaulting Lender’s rights under Sections 2.11, 2.14 and 9.04, and its obligations under Section 9.04(e) shall survive such release and discharge as to matters occurring prior to such date;
and (ii) no claim that the Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender arising out of such Defaulting Lender’s default hereunder shall be released or impaired in any way. Any reduction in the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the
Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) may not be reinstated; provided further, however, that if pursuant to this Section 2.05(b), the Borrower shall pay to a Defaulting Lender any principal of, or interest accrued on, the Advances owing
to such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower shall either (x) confirm to the Agent that no Default under Section 6.01(a) or (e) or Event 

  
 Interpublic Term Loan
Credit Agreement 
  
 20 

 
of Default has occurred and is continuing or (y) pay or cause to be paid a ratable payment of principal and interest on Advances owing to all
Non-Defaulting Lenders. 

(c)      Scheduled Termination. Unless previously terminated, the
Commitments of all Lenders shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero on the earlier of (x) the Closing Date (after the funding of the Advances of such Lender to be made on such date in accordance with and subject to the terms and
conditions hereof) and (y) the Expiration Date. 

SECTION 2.06    Repayment.    The Borrower shall repay to the Agent for

(i)      Base Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a
Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (x) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (y) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March,
June, September and December during such periods and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full. 

(ii)      Eurodollar Rate Advances.  During such periods as
such Advance is a Eurodollar Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Advance to the sum of (x) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period for such Advance plus (y) the Applicable Margin in
effect from time to time, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day that occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of
such Interest Period and on the date such Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full. 

(b)      Default Interest.  Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a), the Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, require the Borrower to pay interest (“Default Interest”) on (i) the unpaid principal amount of
each Advance owing to each Lender, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum (in addition to the interest required to be paid on such Advance pursuant
to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above) and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall

 Interpublic Term Loan
Credit Agreement 
  
 21 

 
paid on Base Rate Advances pursuant to clause (a)(i) above; provided, however, that following acceleration of the Advances pursuant to Section 6.01, Default Interest shall
accrue and be payable hereunder whether or not previously required by the Agent. 

SECTION 2.08    Interest Rate Determination. (a)   The Agent shall give prompt
notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Agent for purposes of Section 2.07(a)(i) or (ii). 

(b)      If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Required Lenders
notify the Agent that (i) they are unable to obtain matching deposits in the London inter-bank market at or about 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the second Business Day before the making of a Borrowing in
sufficient amounts to fund their respective Advances as a part of such Borrowing during its Interest Period or (ii) the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of
making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (A) the Borrower will, on the last day of the then existing Interest
Period therefor, either (x) prepay such Advances or (y) Convert such Advances into Base Rate Advances and (B) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the
Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. 

(c)      If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest
Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders and such Advances will
automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into Base Rate Advances. 

(d)      On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $10,000,000, such Advances shall automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances. 

(e)      Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default
under Section 6.01(a), (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, be Converted into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to
Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended. 

(f)      If the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error), or the Required Lenders notify the Agent (with a copy to the Borrower) that the Required Lenders have determined, that (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Rate
Advance, including, without limitation, because LIBOR is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or (ii) the supervisor for the 

  
 Interpublic Term Loan
Credit Agreement 
  
 22 

 
administrator of LIBOR or a governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR shall no longer be made available,
or used for determining the interest rate of loans, then, promptly after such determination by the Agent or receipt by the Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the Eurodollar Rate with
an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) that has been broadly accepted by the syndicated loan market in the United States in lieu of LIBOR (any such proposed rate,
a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.01, any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time)
on the fifth Business Day after the Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, the Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Agent notice that such Required Lenders
do not accept such amendment; provided that, if such LIBOR Successor Rate as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the
circumstances under clause (i) above exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Advances or Interest Periods). Upon receipt of such notice,
the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Advances (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Advances or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to
have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Advances in the amount specified therein. 

SECTION 2.09    Optional Conversion of Advances. The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon
notice given to the Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.08 and 2.12, Convert all or any part of the
Advances of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Advances of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for
such Eurodollar Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(b) and no Conversion of any such Advances shall result in more
separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(b). Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Advances to be Converted, and (iii) if
such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. 

SECTION 2.10    Prepayments of Advances.   The Borrower may, upon notice at least
two Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, and not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of such prepayment, in the case of Base Rate Advances, to the Agent stating the proposed
date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole 

  
 Interpublic Term Loan
Credit Agreement 
  
 23 

 
or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment shall be in an
aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (y) in the event of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect
thereof pursuant to Section 9.04(c). 
 SECTION 2.11    Increased Costs. (a)
  If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation after the date hereof or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request issued after the date hereof by any central
bank or other governmental authority including, without limitation, any agency of the European Union or similar monetary or multinational authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of
agreeing to make or making, continuing, converting to, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.11 any such increased costs resulting from (i) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which
Section 2.14 shall govern) or Taxes described in Section 2.14(a)(iv) through (vii) and (ii) Other Connection Taxes that are imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated) or that are franchise Taxes or branch profits
Taxes), then the Borrower shall from time to time, within 10 days of demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such
increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender, shall constitute prima facie evidence of such amounts. 

(b)      If any Lender determines that due to the introduction of or any change
in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) after the date hereof, taking into consideration the policies of such
Lender and any corporation controlling such Lender with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements, increases or would increase the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation
controlling such Lender and that the amount of such increase is based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder and other commitments of this type and the effect of such increase is to reduce the rate of return on such
Lender’s capital or on the capital of the corporation controlling such Lender, then, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay within 10 days of such demand to the Agent for the account of such
Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital or
liquidity to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender shall constitute prima facie evidence of such amounts. 

(c)      For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 2.11, any
changes resulting from requests, rules, guidelines or directives (x) issued by any governmental authority in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or (y) promulgated by the Bank for International
Settlements, the Basel 

  
 Interpublic Term Loan
Credit Agreement 
  
 24 

 
Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, regardless of the date enacted,
adopted or issued, shall be subject to subsections (a) and (b) above provided that the Lender making any claim under any such subsection shall have given the Borrower at least 30 days prior notice of such change(s). 

(d)      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.11, no
Lender shall demand compensation for any increased cost or reduction pursuant to this Section 2.11 if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under
comparable provisions of other credit agreements. 
 SECTION 2.12    Illegality.
  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation after the date hereof makes it unlawful, or any
central bank or other governmental authority asserts after the date hereof that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to fund or maintain Eurodollar
Rate Advances hereunder, (a) each Eurodollar Rate Advance funded by such Lender will automatically, upon such demand, be Converted into a Base Rate Advance and (b) the obligation of such Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to
Convert Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. 

SECTION 2.13    Payments and Computations. (a)   The Borrower shall make each
payment hereunder, not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Agent at the Agent’s Account in same day funds and without deduction, set off or counterclaim. The Agent will promptly thereafter
cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.11, 2.14 or 9.04(c)) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending
Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance
of an Assignment and Assumption and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Assumption, the Agent shall make all payments
hereunder and under any Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Assumption shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such
effective date directly between themselves. 
 (b)      All computations of
interest based on the Base Rate shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, all computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of fees (including the Ticking Fee)
shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days with twelve 30-day months, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period
for which such interest or fees are payable.

Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

(c)      Whenever any payment hereunder or under any Notes shall be stated to be
due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fee, as the case may be; provided,
however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day. 

(d)      Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to
the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon
such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the
Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds
Rate. 
 SECTION 2.14    Taxes.   (a)   Subject to Sections 2.14(e) and
2.14(g), any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or under any Notes shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.13, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or
withholdings imposed by any governmental authority, and all liabilities with respect thereto (“Taxes”), excluding, (i) in the case of each Lender and the Agent, taxes imposed on its overall net income, and franchise
Taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income Taxes, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof, (ii) in the case of each Lender, Taxes imposed on its
overall net income, and franchise Taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income Taxes, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof, (iii) in the case of each Lender and the Agent, Taxes
imposed as a result of a present or former connection between such Lender or the Agent and the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (other than connections arising from such Lender or the Agent having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its
obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced any Loan Document, or sold or assigned an interest in any Loan Document) (such Taxes herein
referred to as “Other Connection Taxes”), (iv) in the case of any Lender, United States federal withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of such Lender with respect to an applicable interest in a Commitment
pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which (A) such Lender acquires an interest in the Commitment (other than pursuant to an assignment request by the Borrower under Section 2.21) or (B) such Lender changes its lending office,
except in each case to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 2.14, amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable either to such assignor immediately before such Lender became a party hereto or to such Lender immediately before it changed
its lending office, (v) any United 

  
 Interpublic Term Loan
Credit Agreement

States federal backup withholding Tax, (vi) any withholding Tax imposed as a result of the failure to comply with the requirements of FATCA, and (vii) any Tax, assessment or other
governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for a failure by each Lender or the Agent, or any other legal or beneficial holder or any foreign financial institution through which payments on the Borrowings under this Agreement are made
to comply with any applicable certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence, identity, direct or indirect ownership of or investment in, or connection with the United States of America
of the applicable Lender, the Agent, or any other legal or beneficial holder or any foreign financial institution through which payments on the Borrowings under this Agreement are made if such compliance is required by statute or regulation of the
United States as a precondition to relief or exemption from such Tax, assessment or other governmental charge (all such excluded Taxes referred to as “Excluded Taxes” and all such non-excluded
Taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under any Notes being hereinafter referred to as “Indemnified Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct
any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender or the Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, (ii) the
Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(b)      In addition, the Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp or
documentary Taxes or any other excise or property Taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this
Agreement or any Notes (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 

(c)      Subject to Sections 2.14(e) and 2.14(g), the Borrower shall indemnify
each Lender and the Agent for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on or paid by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) that the Borrower is required to pay pursuant to this
Section 2.14 and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) makes written
demand therefor. 
 (d)      Within 45 days after the date of any payment of
Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment
thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. In the case of any payment hereunder or under any Notes by or on behalf of the Borrower through an account or branch outside the United States or by or on behalf of the Borrower by a payor that
is not a United States person, if the Borrower determines that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, the Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Agent

  
 Interpublic Term Loan
Credit Agreement 
  
 27 

 
stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of this subsection (d) and subsection (e), the terms “United States” and “United States person”
shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code. 

(e)      (i) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the
United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender and on the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and
from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide each of the Agent and the Borrower with two copies of Internal Revenue Service forms W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI (or a Form W-8IMY
with supporting forms attached), as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments
pursuant to this Agreement or any Notes. If any form or document referred to in this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof
by Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI or W-8IMY, that the Lender reasonably considers to be confidential, the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information.

 (ii)      If a payment made to a Lender hereunder would be subject to
United States federal withholding tax pursuant to FATCA, if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the appropriate time any documentation
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether withholding under FATCA is required. 

(f)      Each Lender that is a United States person shall, on or prior to the
date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender and on the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter as
reasonably requested in writing by the Agent or the Borrower, provide each of the Agent and the Borrower with two copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that it is not subject to backup
withholding. If such Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, such Lender shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the
Agent and the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(g)      For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the
Borrower with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in Section 2.14(e) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring subsequent to the
date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided, or if such form, certificate or other document otherwise is not required under subsection (e) above), such

  
 Interpublic Term Loan
Credit Agreement 
  
 28 

 
Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification or a gross up under Section 2.14(a) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure, including any
United States federal withholding tax imposed as a result of a failure to satisfy the applicable requirements of FATCA; provided, however, that should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form,
certificate or other document required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps at such Lender’s expense as the Lender shall reasonably request to assist the Lender to recover such Taxes. 

(h)      Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this
Section 2.14 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or
reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 

(i)      For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from
and after the effective date of this Agreement, the Borrower and the Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Agent to treat) the Advances as not qualifying as “grandfathered obligations” within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i). 

SECTION 2.15    Sharing of Payments, Etc   If any Lender shall obtain any payment
(whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Advances owing to it (other than pursuant to Section 2.11, 2.14 or 9.04(c)) in excess of its
Ratable Share of payments on account of the Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Advances owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to
share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall
repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to
(ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a
participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

SECTION 2.16    Evidence of Debt.    (a)    Each
Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and
interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of Advances. The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Agent) to the effect that a Note is required or
appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or 

  
 Interpublic Term Loan
Credit Agreement 
  
 29 

 
otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount up
to the Commitment or aggregate Advances outstanding, as applicable, of such Lender. 

(b)      The Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(c)
shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if
appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof. 

(c)      Entries made in good faith by the Agent in the Register pursuant to
subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or such Lender to make an
entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. 

SECTION 2.17    Use of Proceeds. (a)   The proceeds of the Advances shall be
available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) solely to finance the payment of the cash consideration payable under the Acquisition Agreement upon the consummation of the Acquisition and to pay fees and expenses incurred in
connection with the Transactions. (b) The Borrower represents and covenants that no Advance, nor the proceeds from any Advance, will be used directly or, to its knowledge, indirectly, (i) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to
pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in material violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (ii) for the purpose of funding or financing any activities, business or transaction of or with
any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, except in accordance with valid and effective licenses and permits issued by the government of the United States or otherwise in accordance with applicable law or (iii) in any manner that
would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to the Borrower, or to the knowledge to the Borrower, any other party hereto. 

SECTION 2.18    [Reserved] 

SECTION 2.19    Defaulting Lenders. 

(a)       If at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such
time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for 

  
 Interpublic Term Loan
Credit Agreement 
  
 30 

 
the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 6.01 or otherwise) or received by the Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 9.05 or 9.07(b)(vii) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower
may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; third if so determined by
the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement, fourth, to the payment of
any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;
fifth, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting
Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal
amount of any Borrowing in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.03 were satisfied or waived, such payment
shall be applied solely to pay the Borrowings of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Borrowings of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Borrowings are held by the Lenders pro rata in
accordance with the Commitments, it being understood that any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.19(a)
shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto; 

(b)      No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected,
and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.19, performance by the Borrower of its obligations hereunder shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of the operation of this Section 2.19. The rights and
remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.19 are in addition to any other rights and remedies which the Borrower, the Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender. 

(c)      If the Borrower and the Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no
longer a Defaulting Lender, and the Borrower has not terminated the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.05(b), the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such
notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to
cause the Advances to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect

  
 Interpublic Term Loan
Credit Agreement 
  
 31 

 
to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the
affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 

SECTION 2.20    [Reserved] 

SECTION 2.21    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a)      Designation of a Different Lending Office.   If any
Lender requests compensation under Section 2.11, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any governmental authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such
Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.11 or 2.14, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such
Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

 (b)      Replacement of Lenders.   If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 2.11, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any governmental authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, or if any Lender is a
Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent require such Lender to assign and delegate,
without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.07), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.11 or
Section 2.14) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: 

(i)       the Borrower shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee (if
any) specified in Section 9.07; 
 (ii)      such Lender shall have
received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under
Section 9.04(c)) 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); 

  
 Interpublic Term Loan
Credit Agreement 
  
 32 

 (iii)     in the case of any such
assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.11 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; 

(iv)     in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent; and 

(v)      such assignment does not conflict with applicable law. 

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or 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.

 SECTION 3.02    [Reserved]

 Interpublic Term Loan
Credit Agreement 
  
 34 

 
qualification therein) in all respects on such date and (ii) Specified Acquisition Agreement Representations shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date. 

(c)      Since the date of the Acquisition Agreement, there shall not have

(e)      The Acquisition shall have been or shall be, substantially
simultaneously with such Borrowing, consummated in all material respects in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement (as in effect on July 2, 2018) without giving effect to any amendments, modifications, supplements, waivers or
consents thereto by the parties to the Acquisition Agreement that are materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders or the Lead Arrangers and not approved by the Initial Lead Arrangers (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed). It is understood and agreed that any change to the definition of “Business Material Adverse Effect” in the Acquisition Agreement shall be deemed materially adverse to the Lenders and shall require the consent of
the Initial Lead Arrangers; it being understood that (a) any reduction in the acquisition consideration of not greater than 10% shall not be deemed to be materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders if such reduction is applied to reduce
the Bridge Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis, (b) any increase in the acquisition consideration shall not be deemed to be materially adverse to the interests of
the Lenders if such increase is not funded with additional indebtedness, and (c) no modification to the acquisition consideration as a result of any purchase price adjustment or working capital adjustment expressly contemplated by the
Acquisition Agreement as of July 2, 2018 shall constitute a reduction or increase in the acquisition consideration. 

(f)      (i) The Lenders shall have received (A) audited consolidated

sheets and related statements of operations of the Acxiom Marketing Solutions business as of and for each completed fiscal quarter subsequent to March 31, 2018 ended at least 45 days prior to the Closing Date, which audited and unaudited
financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with, or reconciled to, GAAP and (ii) the Lenders shall have received a pro forma consolidated balance sheet 

  
 Interpublic Term Loan
Credit Agreement 
  
 35 

 
and related pro forma statement of operations of the Borrower (based on the financial statements required by clause (i) above with respect to the Borrower’s fiscal and quarter year
ends) as of and for the 12-month period ending on the last day of the most recently completed period for which financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to clause (i) above, prepared
after giving effect to the Transactions as if the Transactions had occurred as of such dates (in the case of such balance sheet) or at the beginning of such period (in the case of such statement of operations), which need not be prepared in
compliance with Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (it being understood that a pro forma presentation for the Borrower’s 12-month period

officer of the Borrower knows or has reason to know of the occurrence of such action or event; or 

(e)        The Borrower or any of its Material Consolidated
Subsidiaries shall generally not pay its debts to Persons other than the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as such debts become due, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay such debts generally, or shall make a general assignment for
the benefit of creditors; or any proceeding shall be instituted by or against the Borrower or any of its Material Consolidated Subsidiaries seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver,

 (h)        The Borrower or

interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon such Advances, all such interest and all such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest
or further 

  
 Interpublic Term Loan
Credit Agreement

notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided, however, that in the event of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower
under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, (A) the obligation of each Lender to make Advances shall automatically be terminated and (B) such Advances, all such interest and all such amounts shall automatically become and be due and payable,
without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. 

SECTION 6.02    Limited Conditionality Period.    During the period from
and including the Effective Date to and including the termination of all Commitments pursuant to Section 2.05 (the “Limited Conditionality Period”), and notwithstanding (i) that any representation made on the Effective
Date (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Specified Representations and/or Specified Acquisition Agreement Representations) was incorrect, (ii) any failure by the Borrower to comply with Article V, (iii) any provision to the
contrary herein, in any other Loan Document or otherwise or (iv) that any condition to the occurrence of the Effective Date set forth in Section 3.01 may subsequently be determined not to have been satisfied, neither the Agent nor any
Lender shall be entitled to (1) cancel any of its Commitments, (2) rescind, terminate or cancel the Loan Documents or exercise any right or remedy or make or enforce any claim hereunder, any Note, the Fee Letter or otherwise it may have to
the extent to do so would prevent, limit or delay the making of an Advance, (3) refuse to participate in making an Advance; provided that the applicable conditions precedent to the making of an Advance set forth in Section 3.03 have been
satisfied, or (4) exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim in respect of its Advance to the extent to do so would prevent, limit or delay the making of an Advance. For the avoidance of doubt,
(A) the rights and remedies of the Lenders and the Agent shall not be limited in the event that any applicable condition precedent set forth in Section 3.03 is not satisfied on the Closing Date, if an Event of Default under
Section 6.01(a) shall have occurred and be continuing on the Closing Date or if the Lenders have terminated the Commitments during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 6.01(e) with respect to the Borrower prior to the Closing
Date (or the Commitments have otherwise been terminated); and (B) immediately after the expiration of the Limited Conditionality Period, all of the rights, remedies and entitlements of the Agent and the Lenders shall be available
notwithstanding that such rights were not available prior to such time as a result of the foregoing. 
 ARTICLE VII 

[RESERVED] 
 ARTICLE VIII

 THE AGENT 

SECTION 8.01    Authorization and Authority.    Each of the Lenders
hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under the Notes and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or
thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except as provided in Section 8.06, the provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall
not 

  
 Interpublic Term Loan
Credit Agreement 
  
 50 

 
have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any Notes (or any other similar term) with
reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or
reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. 

SECTION 8.02    Rights as a Lender.    The Person serving as the Agent
hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly
indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor
or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the
Lenders. 
 SECTION 8.03    Exculpatory Provisions.    (a)
  The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent: 

(i)        shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied
duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; 

(ii)    shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of
the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein); provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to this
Agreement or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any debtor relief law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender
in violation of any debtor relief law; and 
 (iii)        shall
not, except as expressly set forth herein, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as
the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 

(b)        The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as
provided in Sections 9.01 or 6.01), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a 

  
 Interpublic Term Loan
Credit Agreement 
  
 51 

 
court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the
Agent in writing by the Borrower or a Lender. 
 (c)        The
Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement or the Information Memorandum,
(ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the
performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any
other agreement, instrument or document or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created hereby or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other
than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent. 

(d)        Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Agent or any of
its Related Parties to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out
and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Agent or any of its Related Parties. 

SECTION 8.04    Reliance by Agent.  The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and
shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it
to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur
any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to
such Lender unless an officer of the Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance, and in the case of a Borrowing, such Lender shall not
have made available to the Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable
for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

SECTION 8.05    Delegation of Duties.  The Agent may perform any and all of its
duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any Note by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent, and the Agent and any such
sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties, provided, in each case that no such delegation to a sub-agent or a Related Party shall 

  
 Interpublic Term Loan
Credit Agreement 
  
 52 

 
release the Agent from any of its obligations hereunder. Each such sub-agent and the Related Parties of the Agent and each such sub-agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.04 (as though such sub-agents were the “Agent”
hereunder and under the Notes) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. 

SECTION 8.06    Resignation of Agent.    (a) The Agent may at any time
and, if the Person acting as the Agent is a Defaulting Lender and the Borrower so requests, the Agent shall promptly, give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required
Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with
an office in New York, New York. 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 Agent gives notice of its resignation then the Borrower may (if the
resignation is at the request of the Borrower) or the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, with the consent of the Borrower so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, appoint a successor
Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective no earlier than three Business Days after the date in such notice (the “Resignation Effective
Date”). 
 (b)        If the Person serving as Agent is a
Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (b) of the definition thereof, each of the Borrower and the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to such Person and, if such notice is given by the Required
Lenders, to the Borrower, remove such Person as Agent and, the Required Lenders may, with the consent of the Borrower so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become
effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date. 

(c)        With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the
Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Notes and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Agent, all
payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders or the Borrower appoint a successor Agent as provided
for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent (other than any rights to
indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Agent), and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the Notes. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the
same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the Notes, the provisions of this Article VIII

  
 Interpublic Term Loan
Credit Agreement 
  
 53 

 
and Section 9.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed 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 or removed Agent was acting as Agent. 

SECTION 8.07    Non-Reliance on Agent and Other
Lenders.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and
information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder. 

SECTION 8.08    No Other Duties, etc.  Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, none of the Persons acting as Lead Arrangers, bookrunners, arrangers or syndication agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement, except in its capacity, as
applicable, as the Agent or as a Lender hereunder. 
 SECTION 8.09    Lender ERISA
Representation.  Each Lender as of the Effective Date represents and warrants as of the Effective Date to the Agent and each Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, for the benefit of the
Borrower, that such Lender is not and will not be (i) an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan or account subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code; (iii) an entity deemed to hold “plan
assets” of any such plans or accounts for purposes of ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code that is using “plan assets” of any such plans or accounts to fund or hold Advances or perform its obligations under this Agreement; or
(iv) a “governmental plan” within the meaning of ERISA. 
 ARTICLE IX 

MISCELLANEOUS 

SECTION 9.01    Amendments, Etc.  No amendment or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or any Notes, nor consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in
the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all the Non-Defaulting Lenders,
do any of the following: (a) waive any of the conditions specified in Section 3.01 or Section 3.03, (b) increase the Commitments of the Lenders, (c) reduce the principal of, or rate of interest on, the Advances or any fees or

Section 9.01, (g) amend the definition of “Expiration Date” or (h) change Section 2.15 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby; provided further that any amendment, waiver
or consent requiring the consent of all Non-Defaulting Lenders under clauses (b), (c) or (d) of the preceding proviso that by its terms adversely affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately as
compared to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender and any such amendment, waiver or consent that would alter the terms of this proviso will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender; provided
still further that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any
Note. If the Agent or the Borrower acting together identify any ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to
amend, modify or supplement such provision to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect, and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement, so long
as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the
Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment, modification or supplement. 

SECTION 9.02    Notices, Etc.    (a) All notices and other communications
provided for hereunder shall be either (x) in writing (which includes electronic medium and facsimile communication) and mailed, telecopied or delivered or (y) as and to the extent set forth in Section 9.02(b) and in the proviso to

and the Agent, provided that materials required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(h) shall be delivered to the Agent as specified in Section 9.02(b). All such notices and communications shall, when mailed, telecopied or e-mailed, be effective when deposited in the mails, telecopied or confirmed by e-mail, respectively, except that notices and communications to the Agent pursuant to
Article II or III shall not be effective until received by the Agent. Delivery by electronic medium or facsimile of an executed counterpart of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Notes or of any Exhibit hereto to

 (b)        Materials
required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(h) may be delivered to the Agent in an electronic medium in a format acceptable to the Agent by e-mail at oploanswebadmin@citi.com (or any other one
e-mail address designated by the Agent from time to time) or physical form, provided that, to the extent so provided in the last paragraph of Section 5.01(h), the Agent shall have the right to
request that copies of the compliance certificates required to be delivered pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii), as applicable, of Section 5.01(h) be delivered in physical form, in which case the Borrower shall cause the same to be delivered
to the Agent (and not the Lenders) as soon as reasonably practicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not be required to deliver any Communications to the Lenders. The Borrower agrees that the Agent may make such materials, as well as
any other written information, documents, instruments and other material relating to the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any other materials or matters relating to this Agreement, any Notes or any of the transactions contemplated hereby
(collectively, the “Communications”) available to the Lenders by posting such notices on a password protected internet website such as Intralinks (the “Platform”). The Borrower acknowledges that (i) the
distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available”
and (iii) neither the Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Communications or the Platform. No

viruses or other code defects, is made by the Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Platform. 

(c)        Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the
next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such information, documents or other materials to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement;
provided that if requested by any Lender the Agent (and not the Borrower) shall deliver a copy of the Communications to such Lender in writing. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail address or addresses to which a Notice may be sent by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter to ensure that the Agent has on record an effective e-mail address(es) for such Lender) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail address or
addresses. 
 SECTION 9.03    No Waiver; Remedies.  No failure on the part of any
Lender or the Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 

SECTION 9.04    Costs and Expenses.    (a)   The Borrower
agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent in connection with the preparation,

diligence, syndication (including printing, distribution and bank meetings), transportation, computer, duplication, appraisal, consultant, and audit expenses and (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent with respect thereto
and with respect to advising the Agent as to its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement. The Borrower further agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses of the Agent and the Lenders, if any (including, without limitation, reasonable
counsel fees and expenses), in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement, any Notes and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent and each Lender in connection with the enforcement of rights under this Section 9.04(a). 

(b)        The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Agent and each Lender and each of their Related Parties (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel) incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or
preparation of a defense in connection therewith) any Notes, this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or
expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or is a consequence of such
Indemnified Party’s (or its Affiliate’s) becoming a Defaulting Lender hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, its failure to perform its funding obligations hereunder within two Business Days of the date required to be funded by
it hereunder unless such Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower in writing that such failure is the result of such Lender’s good faith reasonable determination that one or more conditions precedent to funding (each of which conditions
precedent, together with any applicable default, shall be specifically identified in such writing) has not been satisfied). The foregoing indemnity shall not cover or include (x) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrower’s obligation
with respect to which is governed by Section 2.14, or Excluded Taxes, (y) increased costs, the Borrower’s obligation with respect to which is governed by Section 2.11 or (z) costs, charges, fees, expenses, Taxes or duties of
any kind related to any hedging activities in connection with the rights or obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 9.04(b) applies,
such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person or any Indemnified Party is otherwise a
party thereto. The Borrower also agrees not to assert any claim for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages against the Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and
agents, on any theory of liability, arising out of or otherwise relating to any Notes, this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances.

 (c)        If any payment
of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurodollar Rate Advance is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to
Section 2.08(d) or (e), 2.10 or 2.12, acceleration of the maturity of any Notes pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason, or by an Eligible Assignee to a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance
upon an assignment of rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.07 as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to Section 9.07(a), the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to
the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion, including, without
limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Advance. 

(d)        Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of
the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in Sections 2.11, 2.14 and 9.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under any Notes. 

(e)        Reimbursement by Lenders.   Each Lender
severally agrees to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender’s ratable share of any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, disbursements and expenses, joint or several, of any kind or nature (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any advisor or counsel for such Person) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Notes or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this Agreement or the Notes; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements or expenses resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent for any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower under
Section 9.04(a), to the extent that the Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower.

SECTION 9.05    Right of
Set-off.  Upon either (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Section 6.01(e) or (b) (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any
other Event of Default and (ii) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Agent to declare the Advances due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, each Lender
and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and
other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Affiliate to or 

  
 Interpublic Term Loan
Credit Agreement 
  
 58 

 
for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and any Note held by such Lender, whether or
not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts
so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.19 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in
trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such
right of setoff. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section 9.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Lender and its Affiliates may have. 

SECTION 9.06    Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall become effective (other than
Section 2.01, which shall only become effective upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.03) when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Agent and when the Agent shall have been notified by each
Initial Lender that such Initial Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the
right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). 

SECTION 9.07    Assignments and Participations.  (a) Successors and Assigns
Generally. No Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 9.07, (ii) by way of participation in
accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section 9.07, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (g) of this Section 9.07 (and any other attempted
assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void, except as provided in the last sentence of Section 9.07(b) and in Section 9.07(h)). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any
Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, participants to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section 9.07 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related
Parties of each of the Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

(b)        Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time
assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the
following conditions: 
 (i)        Minimum Amounts. 

  
 Interpublic Term Loan
Credit Agreement 
  
 59 

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

 (B)        in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of
this Section 9.07, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Advances outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Advances of the
assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption,
as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 (ii)      Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment
shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Advance or the Commitment assigned. 

(iii)      Required Consents.  No consent shall be required
for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section 9.07 and, in addition: 

(A)        the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (y) such assignment is to a Lender’s Affiliate that is a financial institution or to
another Lender unless on the date of such assignment the assignee would be entitled to make a demand pursuant to Section 2.11 or 2.14 (in which case such assignment shall be permitted only if the assignee shall waive in a manner satisfactory to
the Borrower in form and substance its rights to make such a demand); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within five Business Days
after having received notice thereof; and 
 (B)        the consent
of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of any assignment to a Person that is not a Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender. 

(iv)      Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a 

  
 Interpublic Term Loan
Credit Agreement 
  
 60 

 
processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The
assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 

(v)      No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No such assignment
shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing
Persons described in this clause (B), (C) any Person that was a Competitor as of the Trade Date (in which case the provisions of Section 9.07(h) shall apply), or (D) without the prior written consent of the Borrower, a structured finance
vehicle, fund or similar entity or any similar Person in connection with a securitization. 

(vi)      No Assignment to Natural Persons.  No such
assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person). 

(vii)      Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with
any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such
additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including
funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to
(x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all
Advances in accordance with its Ratable Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the
provisions of this paragraph (b), then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 9.07, from and
after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a
Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption
covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party 

  
 Interpublic Term Loan
Credit Agreement 
  
 61 

 
hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11 and 9.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment;
provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a
Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph (b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in
such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section 9.07 (except in the event that such assignment or transfer was to a person that was a Competitor as of the Trade Date (in which case the provisions of
Section 9.07(h) shall apply)). 
 (c)        Register.
  The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall
be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall
be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(d)        Participations.   Each Lender may sell
participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than the Borrower, any of the Borrower’s Affiliates, any natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a
natural Person, any Defaulting Lender, or, unless the Borrower’s prior consent is obtained and in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.07(h), a Competitor), in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, its Commitment to the Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the
holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the other Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement and (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any rights as a Lender hereunder, including, without limitation, any right to make any demand under Section 2.11 or 2.14 or right to approve
any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Note, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, any Notes
or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or amend
this Section 9.07(d) in any manner adverse to such participant, in each case to the 

  
 Interpublic Term Loan
Credit Agreement 
  
 62 

 
extent subject to such participation and in any event such voting rights shall not exceed those of the Lender hereunder that is the seller of such participation. 

(e)        Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a
participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a nonfiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s
interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the
identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, Advances or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish
that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent
manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt,
the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

(f)        Disclosure to Assignee or Participant. Any Lender
may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation permitted under this Section 9.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant other than, unless the
Borrower’s prior consent is obtained, a Competitor, any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower (including the list of Competitors); provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the
assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree for the benefit of the Borrower to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Borrower received by it from such Lender. 

(g)        Certain Security Interests. Notwithstanding any
other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Advances owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it) in
favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any central bank in accordance with applicable law or regulation; provided that no such creation of a security interest
shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute such secured party for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(h)        No Assignment or Participations to Competitors. No
assignment or participation shall be made or sold, as applicable, to any Person that was a Competitor as of the date (the “Determination Date”) on which the assigning or selling Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell all or
a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person or assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrower has consented to such assignment or participation in
writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will 

  
 Interpublic Term Loan
Credit Agreement 
  
 63 

 
not be considered a Competitor for the purpose of such assignment or participation). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee or participant that becomes a Competitor after the
applicable Determination Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Competitor”), (x) such assignee or participant shall not
retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender or participant and (y) the execution by the Borrower of an Assignment and Assumption with respect to an assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a
Competitor. Any assignment or participation in violation of this Section 9.07(h) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this Section 9.07(h) shall apply. If any assignment is made or any participation is sold to any Competitor
without the Borrower’s prior written consent, or if any Person becomes a Competitor after the applicable Determination Date, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Competitor and the Agent,
(A) terminate any Commitment of such Competitor and/or repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Competitor in connection with such Commitment and/or (B) require such Competitor to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and
subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 9.07), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including as a participant) to one or more Eligible Assignees at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof
and (y) the amount that such Competitor paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Competitors (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrower, the Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or
participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for
purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, each Competitor will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Competitors consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation
pursuant to any debtor relief laws (a “Plan”), each Competitor party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Plan, (2) if such Competitor does vote on such Plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing
sentence, such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other debtor relief laws), and such vote shall not be counted in
determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other debtor relief laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any
party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing sentence. The Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Agent, to (A) post the
list of Competitors provided by the Borrower and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “Competitor List”) on the Platform, including that portion of the 

  
 Interpublic Term Loan
Credit Agreement 
  
 64 

 
Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders and/or (B) provide the Competitor List to each Lender requesting the same. The Agent shall not (x) be obligated to
ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or participant is a Competitor or (y) have any liability with respect to any assignment or sale of a participation to a Competitor. 

SECTION 9.08    Confidentiality. Each of the Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective managers, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other
representatives who need to know the Information in connection with this Agreement or in connection with other contemplated transactions for the benefit of the Borrower (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be
informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential on substantially the same terms as provided herein), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over
it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and including in connection with any pledge made in accordance with Section 9.07(g)), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) to the extent necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any Note or any action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or any Note or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement for the benefit of the Borrower containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.08 (i) to any assignee,
participant or prospective assignee or participant, in each case permitted hereunder or (ii) to any credit insurance provider or to any actual or prospective counterparty to any swap, derivative or other similar transaction, in each case under
which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, entered into by a Lender in connection with this Agreement, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) to any rating agency in connection with rating the
Borrower or its Subsidiaries, or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.08 or (y) becomes available to the Agent, any Lender or their respective
Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower that, to the knowledge of the Agent, such Lender or such Affiliate, as applicable, is not in violation of any confidentiality agreement with the Borrower. In addition, the
Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about the terms of this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agent and the Lenders in
connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments. 
 For purposes of
this Section 9.08, “Information” means all confidential, proprietary or non-public information of the Borrower furnished to the Agent or the Lenders by the Borrower.

 (a)        Each Lender and the Agent (for itself and not on

be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Lenders and the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process

 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, THE INTERPUBLIC GROUP OF COMPANIES, INC., a Delaware
corporation (the “Borrower”), HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY to ________________________ (the “Lender”) or its registered assigns for the account of its Applicable Lending Office on the Termination Date (each as defined in
the Credit Agreement referred to below) the principal sum of U.S.$[amount of the Lender’s Commitment in figures] or, if less, the aggregate principal amount of the Advances made by the Lender to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement
dated as of July 27, 2018 among The Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc., the Lender and certain other lenders parties thereto and Citibank, N.A., as Agent for the Lender and such other lenders (as amended or modified from time to time, the
“Credit Agreement”; the terms defined therein being used herein as therein defined) outstanding on such date. 

The Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance and from the date of such Advance until
such principal amount is paid in full, at such interest rates, and payable at such times, as are specified in the Credit Agreement. 

Both principal and interest in respect of each Advance are payable in lawful money of the United States of America to the
Agent at its account maintained at 399 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10043, in same day funds. Each Advance owing to the Lender by the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and all payments made on account of principal thereof, shall be
recorded by the Lender and, prior to any transfer hereof, endorsed on the grid attached hereto which is part of this Promissory Note. 

This Promissory Note is one of the Notes referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits of, the Credit Agreement. The Credit
Agreement, among other things, (i) provides for the making of Advances by the Lender to the Borrower from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the U.S. dollar amount first above mentioned, the indebtedness
of the Borrower resulting from each such Advance being evidenced by this Promissory Note, and (ii) contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain stated events and also for prepayments on account of
principal hereof prior to the maturity hereof upon the terms and conditions therein specified.

		  		  	 OF THE

		  		  	 BORROWER

 To each of the Lenders parties 

to the Credit Agreement (as defined below), 

among The Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc., 

said Lenders and Citibank, N.A., 

as Agent for said Lenders, and 

to Citibank, N.A., as Agent 

Credit Agreement 
 Ladies
and Gentlemen: 
 This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(iii) of the Credit Agreement dated as
of July 27, 2018 (the “Credit Agreement”), among The Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc. (the “Borrower”), the Lenders parties thereto and Citibank, N.A., as Agent for said Lenders. Terms defined in the Credit
Agreement are used herein as therein defined. 
 I have acted as General Counsel for the Borrower in connection with the
preparation, execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement. 
 In arriving at the opinions expressed below, I have
examined the following documents: 
 (1)        An executed copy of
the Credit Agreement. 
 (2)        The documents furnished by the
Borrower pursuant to Article III of the Credit Agreement. 

(3)        A copy of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the
Borrower and all amendments thereto (the “Charter”). 

(4)        A copy of the
by-laws of the Borrower and all amendments thereto (the “By-laws”). 

(5)        A certificate of the Secretary of State of Delaware, dated
[__], attesting to the continued corporate existence and good standing of the Borrower in that State. 

  
 -2- 

 In addition, I have examined the originals, or copies certified or otherwise
identified to my satisfaction, of such other corporate records of the Borrower, certificates of public officials and of officers of the Borrower and such other persons as I have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below. 

In rendering the opinions expressed below, I have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals and
the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to me as copies. In addition, I have assumed and have not verified the accuracy as to factual matters of each document I have reviewed (including, without limitation, the accuracy of the
representations and warranties of the Borrower in the Credit Agreement). 
 Based upon the foregoing and subject to the
further assumptions and qualifications set forth below, it is my opinion that: 

1.        The Borrower is a corporation validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. 
 2.        The
execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Credit Agreement and the Notes to be delivered by it, and the consummation of the Transactions, are within the Borrower’s corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action, and do not contravene (i) the Charter or the By-laws or (ii) any material contractual or legal restriction known to me contained in any material document to which the Borrower is a
party or by which it is bound. The Credit Agreement and the Notes have been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Borrower. 

3.        To the best of my knowledge, no authorization, approval or other action by,
and no notice to or filing with, any third party is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Credit Agreement and the Notes. 

4.        To the best of my knowledge, there are no pending or overtly threatened
actions or proceedings against the Borrower or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator that purport to affect the validity, binding effect or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any of the Notes
or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby or, except as disclosed in the Borrower’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the Effective Date, that are likely to have a materially adverse effect
upon the financial condition or operations of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 
 The foregoing opinions
are limited to the law of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Federal law of the United States. 

I am furnishing this opinion letter to you solely for your benefit in connection with the Credit Agreement. This opinion
letter is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a copy of this opinion letter may be furnished to, and relied upon by, your successors and a permitted transferee who becomes
a party to the Credit Agreement as a Lender thereunder, and you or any such successor

 or transferee may show this opinion to any governmental authority pursuant to requirements of
applicable law or regulations. The opinions expressed herein are, however, rendered on and as of the date hereof, and I assume no obligation to advise you or any such transferee or governmental authority or any other person, or to make any
investigations, as to any legal developments or factual matters arising subsequent to the date hereof that might affect the opinions expressed herein. 
  

	
	 Very truly yours,

 EXHIBIT E – FORM OF 

SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE 
 [DATE] 

The undersigned, [__________], the [__________] of The Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc. (the
“Borrower”), is familiar with the properties, businesses, assets and liabilities of the Borrower and is duly authorized to execute this certificate (this “Solvency Certificate”) on behalf of the Borrower. 

This Solvency Certificate is delivered pursuant to Section 3.03(a)(iii) of the Credit Agreement dated as of [__________],
2018 (the “Credit Agreement”; terms defined therein unless otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein defined) among the Borrower, each lender from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”)
and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent thereunder (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”). 

As used herein, “Borrower” means the Borrower and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. 

1.        I, [__________], hereby certify that I am the [__________] of the Borrower
and that I am knowledgeable of the financial and accounting matters of the Borrower, the Credit Agreement and the covenants and representations (financial or otherwise) contained therein and that, as such, I am authorized to execute and deliver this
Solvency Certificate on behalf of the Borrower. 
 2.        The undersigned
certifies, on behalf of the Borrower and not in his individual capacity, that he has made such investigation and inquiries as to the financial condition of the Borrower as the undersigned deems necessary and prudent for the purposes of providing
this Solvency Certificate. The undersigned acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are relying on the truth and accuracy of this Solvency Certificate in connection with the making of Advances under the Credit Agreement. 

3.        The undersigned certifies, on behalf of the Borrower and not in his
individual capacity, that (a) the financial information, projections and assumptions which underlie and form the basis for the representations made in this Solvency Certificate were made in good faith and were based on assumptions reasonably
believed by the Borrower to be fair in light of the circumstances existing at the time made; and (b) for purposes of providing this Solvency Certificate, the amount of contingent liabilities has been computed as the amount that, in the light of
all the facts and circumstances existing as of the date hereof, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability. 

BASED ON THE FOREGOING, the undersigned certifies, on behalf of the Borrower and not in his individual capacity, that, on the
date hereof, before and after giving effect to the Transactions (and the Advances made or to be made and other obligations incurred or to be incurred on the Closing Date): 

 (i)        the fair
value of the property of the Borrower (including, for the avoidance of doubt, property consisting of the residual equity value of the Borrower’s subsidiaries) is greater than the total amount of liabilities, including contingent liabilities, of
the Borrower (it being understood that the amount of contingent liabilities at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to
become an actual or matured liability); 
 (ii)        the present
fair salable value of the assets of the Borrower (including, for the avoidance of doubt, property consisting of the residual equity value of the Borrower’s subsidiaries) is greater as of the date hereof than the amount that will be required to
pay the probable liability of the Borrower on the sum of its debts and other liabilities, including contingent liabilities (it being understood that the amount of contingent liabilities at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in light of
all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability); 

(iii)        the Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe
(nor should it reasonably believe) that it will, incur debts or liabilities beyond the Borrower’s ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they become due (whether at maturity or otherwise); 

(iv)        the Borrower does not have unreasonably small capital
with which to conduct the businesses in which it is engaged as such businesses are now conducted (and reflected in the projections) and are proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date; 

(v)        the Borrower is able to pay its debts and liabilities,
contingent obligations and other commitments as they become absolute and mature in the ordinary course of business on their respective stated maturities; and 

(vi)        the Borrower is “solvent” within the meaning
given to that term and similar terms under the Federal Bankruptcy Code and applicable laws relating to fraudulent transfers and conveyances. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Solvency Certificate as of the first date written above, solely in his
capacity as [___________] of the Borrower and not in his individual capacity.
