Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion after consultation with the Company and consented to in writing by the Required Lenders (the “Alternative Rate”); provided, however, that (i) until such time as the
Alternative Rate shall be determined and so consented to by the Required Lenders, Borrowings shall not be available in such Foreign Currency and (ii) (x) if any Alternative Rate with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars
shall be less than 1.00%, such rate shall be deemed to be 1.00% for the purposes of this Agreement and (y) if any Alternative Rate with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be less than zero, such rate

Agreement and Section 2.14(c) shall instead be applicable for all purposes of determining any alternative rate of interest under this Agreement.” 

(e)    Section 2.14(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby restated in its entirety as follows: 

“(c)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in Section 2.14(b)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set
forth in Section 2.14(b)(i) have not arisen but any of (w) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate has made a public statement that the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate is insolvent (and there

jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate may no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Company shall
endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBO Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter
into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes (including, without limitation, the modification or replacement of clause (c) set forth in the definition of “Alternate Base
Rate”) to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Rate); provided that, (i) if such alternate rate of interest as so determined
with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars would be less than 1.00%, such rate shall be deemed to be 1.00% for the purposes of this Agreement and (ii) if such alternate rate of interest as so determined with respect to a
Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.08, such
amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of
interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this
Section 2.14(c) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii)(w), clause (ii)(x) or clause (ii)(y) of the first sentence of this Section 2.14(c), only to the extent the LIBO
Screen Rate for the applicable currency and such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as,
a Eurocurrency Borrowing in the applicable currency or for the applicable Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be ineffective, (y) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in Dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as an
ABR Borrowing and (z) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in a Foreign Currency, then such request shall be ineffective.” 

(f)     Section 3.22 of the Credit Agreement is hereby restated in its entirety as follows:

of any or all assets sold, transferred, leased or otherwise disposed of in reliance upon this clause (ii) shall not exceed, in any fiscal year of the Company, U.S.$100.0 million;” 

(j)    Section 6.12(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby restated in its entirety as follows: 

“(a)     On and after the Effective Date and so long as both the AXC Trigger Date and the funding of
the Term Loans occur prior to the occurrence of the AXC Expiration Date: (I) 5.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending on June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019, (II) 5.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending on December 31, 2019, (III) 4.50 to
1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2020, (IV) 4.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020, (V) 4.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, (VI) 3.75
to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021 and (VII) 3.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021 and each fiscal quarter thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, only after the maximum Leverage Ratio permitted under
this Section 6.12(a) has been 3.50 to 1.00 for two consecutive fiscal quarters, to the extent any Asset Disposition or any Asset Acquisition (or any similar transaction or transactions that require a waiver or a consent of
the Required Lenders pursuant to Section 6.04 or Section 6.05) or incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness (excluding normal fluctuations in revolving Indebtedness incurred for working capital
purposes) has occurred during the relevant Test Period, EBITDA shall be determined for the respective Test Period on a Pro Forma Basis for such occurrences; provided further that (x) the Company may, by written notice to the
Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders, elect to increase the maximum Leverage Ratio to 4.00 to 1.00 for a period of four consecutive fiscal quarters in connection with a Permitted Business Acquisition or a Plant Expansion occurring
during the first of such four fiscal quarters if the aggregate consideration paid or to be paid in respect of such Permitted Business Acquisition or Plant Expansion exceeds $100,000,000 (each such period, an “Adjusted Covenant
Period”) and (y) notwithstanding the foregoing clause (x), (i) the Company may not elect an Adjusted Covenant Period for at least two (2) full fiscal quarters following the end of an Adjusted Covenant Period before a new Adjusted
Covenant Period is available again pursuant to the preceding clause (x) for a new period of four consecutive fiscal quarters and (ii) the Company may only elect one (1) Adjusted Covenant Period in respect of a Plant Expansion during
the term of this Agreement.” 
 (k)     Section 9.24 of the Credit Agreement is hereby
restated in its entirety as follows: 
 “SECTION 9.24.     Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In
of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each 

  
 8

Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 
 (a)    
the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected
Financial Institution; and 
 (b)     the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including,
if applicable: 
 (i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; 

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected
Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such
liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 
 (iii)     the variation of the terms of
such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.” 

2.     Conditions of Effectiveness.     The effectiveness of this Amendment (the
