(ii) for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires compliance with any representations and warranties set forth herein, such condition may, at the option of the Borrower, be deemed satisfied, so long as (x) the Borrower is in compliance with such representations and warranties on the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into and (y) the Borrower is in compliance with (A) the Specified Representations in all material respects (except those representations and warranties qualified by materiality, which shall be true and correct) on and as of such date, as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent that any such representation or warranty expressly relates only to an earlier date, in which case it was correct in all material respects (except those representations and warranties qualified by materiality, which shall be true and correct) as of such earlier date and (B) if applicable, the representations and warranties in the relevant acquisition agreement the breach of which would permit the buyer to terminate its obligations thereunder or decline to consummate the Limited Condition Acquisition in all respects, in each case, both immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition and all concurrent transactions; provided that the reference to “material adverse effect” in the Specified Representations shall be understood for purposes of this clause (y) to refer to “Material Adverse Effect” or similar definition as defined in the relevant acquisition agreement governing such Limited Condition Acquisition. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has exercised its option under this clause (h), and any breach of a representation or warranty occurs following the date the definitive agreements for the applicable Limited Condition Acquisition were entered into and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition (other than such

representations and warranties referenced in clause (y) above immediately prior to or immediately after giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition), any such breach shall be deemed to not have occurred for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted hereunder.

Section 1.04 Accounting Terms. All accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP consistent with those applied in the preparation of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01(e). All computations determining compliance with financial covenants or terms, including definitions used therein, shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect at the time of the preparation of, and in conformity with those used to prepare, the historical financial statements delivered to the Lenders pursuant to Section 4.01(e). If at any time the computations for determining compliance with financial covenants or provisions relating thereto utilize generally accepted accounting principles different than those then being utilized in the financial statements being delivered to the Lenders, such financial statements shall be accompanied by a reconciliation statement. If at any time any change in GAAP or the required adoption by the Borrower of international financial reporting standards would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in this Agreement, and either the Borrower or the Majority Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP or the adoption of such international financial reporting standards (subject to the approval of the Majority Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP in effect at the time of the preparation of, and in conformity with those used to prepare, the historical financial statements delivered to the Lenders pursuant to Section 4.01(e) and (ii) the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP or the adoption of such international financial reporting standards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with any covenant (including the computation of any financial covenant) contained herein, (a) whether a lease constitutes a capital lease or an operating lease shall be determined based on GAAP as in effect on the date hereof, notwithstanding any modification or interpretative change thereto after the date hereof and (b) all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made (i) without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification 000-00-00 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Debt or other liabilities of the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof at “fair value”, as defined therein and (ii) without giving effect to any treatment of Debt in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Debt in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Debt shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof.

Section 1.05 Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) any reference to a merger, transfer, consolidation, amalgamation, consolidation, assignment, sale, disposition or transfer, or similar term, shall be deemed to apply to a division of or by a limited liability company, or an allocation of assets to a series of a limited liability company (or the unwinding of such a division or allocation), as if it were a merger, transfer, consolidation, amalgamation, consolidation, assignment, sale, disposition or transfer, or similar term, as applicable, to, of or with a separate Person and (b) any division of a limited liability company shall constitute a separate Person hereunder (and each division of any limited liability company that is a Subsidiary, joint venture or any other like term shall also constitute such a Person or entity).

(a) Each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than (x) 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of a proposed Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances and (y) 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day (or, in the case of Initial Advances, 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day) prior to the date of a proposed Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, in each case by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Appropriate Lender prompt notice thereof by electronic mail. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be by electronic mail or telephone, confirmed immediately in writing by hand delivery or electronic mail, in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto or such other form as may be approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent) appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Facility and currency of such Borrowing, (iii) in the case of the Tranche A1 Facility, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iv) aggregate amount of such Borrowing, (v) in the case of a Borrowing comprised of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the initial Interest Period for each such Advance and (vi) wire transfer instructions with respect to such Borrowing. Each Appropriate Lender shall, before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances or before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, in each case on the requested date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at its applicable address referred to in Section 9.02, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.02, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by wire transfer of such funds in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent has agreed to provide the proceeds of the Initial Advances in accordance with such wiring instructions (x) with respect to the Initial Advances denominated in Euros, by 9:00 a.m. (London time) and (y) with respect to the Initial Advances denominated in U.S. Dollars, by 8:30 a.m. (New York City time), in each case prior to receipt of each Appropriate Lender’s pro rata share of such Borrowing.

(b) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding,

(i) the Borrower may not select Eurocurrency Rate Advances for any Borrowing or with respect to the Conversion or continuance of any Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Borrowing or such Conversion or continuance is less than (i) in the case of Tranche A1 Advances, US$10,000,000 and (ii) in the case of Tranche A2 Advances and Tranche A3 Advances, €10,000,000;

(ii) there shall be no more than three Interest Periods relating to any Class of Eurocurrency Rate Advances outstanding under any Facility at any time;

(iii) if any Appropriate Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation, in each case after the Effective Date, makes it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances in any currency or to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances in any currency hereunder, then, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, (a) the Commitment of such Lender to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances in such currency or, in the case of Advances denominated in U.S. Dollars, to Convert all or any portion of Base Rate Advances to Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall forthwith be suspended and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Advances the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Advances of such Lenders shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case, until such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, and the Borrower shall (x) in the case of Advances denominated in U.S. Dollars, convert such Eurocurrency Rate Advances of such Lender to Base Rate Advances or (y) in the case of Advances denominated in Euros, convert such Advances into U.S. Dollar denominated Base Rate Advances in a principal amount equal to the Equivalent in U.S. Dollars, determined as of the date of such conversion, of the then outstanding principal amount of such Eurocurrency Rate Advances, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Advances to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Advances; to the extent that such affected Eurocurrency Rate Advances become Base Rate Advances, all payments of principal that would have been otherwise applied to such Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be applied instead to such Lender’s Base Rate Advances; provided that if, at any time after a Lender gives notice under this Section 2.02(b)(iii), such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurocurrency Rate Advances, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. The Borrower’s right to request, and such Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall thereupon be restored and any Advance that has been converted from a Eurocurrency Rate Advance denominated in Euros to a Eurocurrency Rate Advance (or, if applicable, a Base Rate Advance) denominated

in U.S. Dollars shall be reconverted to a Eurocurrency Rate Advance of the applicable currency prior to any such conversion pursuant to this Section 2.02(b)(iii) at the end of the immediately following Interest Period;

(iv) if, with respect to the Tranche A1 Facility, (A) the Administrative Agent or the Majority Facility Lenders shall determine that the Eurocurrency Rate for Eurocurrency Rate Advances comprising such Borrowing will not adequately reflect the cost to such Majority Facility Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurocurrency Rate Advances for such Borrowing or (B) the Administrative Agent determines that (x) deposits are not being offered to banks in the applicable interbank market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Borrowing or (y) (1) reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period and (2) the circumstances described in Section 2.08(b)(i) do not apply, then (a) the right of the Borrower to select Eurocurrency Rate Advances for such Borrowing or any subsequent Borrowing under such Facility shall be suspended and (b) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the Base Rate, such Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or in the case of a determination by the Majority Facility Lenders described in clause (A) above, until the Administrative Agent upon instruction from the Majority Facility Lenders) shall notify the Borrower and the Appropriate Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and each Advance comprising such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Advance; and

(v) if, with respect to the Tranche A2 Facility or Tranche A3 Facility, (A) the Administrative Agent or the Majority Facility Lenders shall determine that the Eurocurrency Rate for Eurocurrency Rate Advances comprising such Borrowing will not adequately reflect the cost to such Majority Facility Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurocurrency Rate Advances for such Borrowing or (B) the Administrative Agent shall determine that (x) deposits are not being offered to banks in the applicable interbank market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Borrowing or (y) reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period, each Advance comprising such Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate equal to each Appropriate Lender’s cost of funds applicable to such Advance plus the Applicable Margin until the Administrative Agent (or in the case of a determination by the Majority Facility Lenders described in clause (A) above, until the Administrative Agent upon instruction from the Majority Facility Lenders) shall notify the Borrower and the Appropriate Lenders that the circumstances causing such alternative rate of interest to apply no longer exist.

(c) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower; provided that a Notice of Borrowing delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02 may state that such notice is conditioned on the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the consummation of other transactions, in which case, such notice may be revoked or extended

by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified proposed date of the applicable Borrowing) if such condition is not satisfied. In the case of any Borrowing which the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Appropriate Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender 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 or by reason of the termination of hedging or other similar arrangements, in each case when such Advance is not made on such date, including without limitation, 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. The Lender making demand for such indemnification shall deliver to the Borrower concurrently with such demand a written statement as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to such Lender, absent manifest error.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from an Appropriate Lender at least three hours (or two hours with respect any Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances) prior to the time any Borrowing is due to be funded by the Appropriate Lenders that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent, 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 Administrative Agent in respect of such amount and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative 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 an Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Appropriate Lender of its obligation, if any, 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) Administrative Agent and Joint Lead Arranger Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the account of each Joint Lead Arranger and the account of each Lender, as applicable, the fees payable pursuant to each Fee Letter, in each case in the amounts and at the times specified in such Fee Letter.

(b) Ticking Fee. Commencing on the date that is sixty (60) days following the Effective Date (the “Ticking Fee Trigger Date”), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit and account of each Lender, a ticking fee (the “Ticking Fee”) accruing from the Ticking Fee Trigger Date until the earlier to occur of (i) the Commitment Termination Date and (ii) the Funding Date (such earlier date, the “Ticking Fee End Date”), at the Ticking Fee Rate on the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Commitments then outstanding. The Ticking Fee shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. The Ticking Fee shall be paid on the Ticking Fee End Date in (x) with respect to the Tranche A1 Commitments, U.S. Dollars and (y) with respect to the Tranche A2 Commitments and the Tranche A3 Commitments, Euros.

Section 2.05 Termination or Reduction of the Commitments.

(a) Optional Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent to terminate in whole or permanently reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the respective Commitments of the Lenders in respect of any Facility, provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of (i) in the case of Tranche A1 Commitments, US$10,000,000 or an integral multiple of US$1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) in the case of Tranche A2 Commitments and Tranche A3 Commitments, €10,000,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000,000 in excess thereof. A notice of reduction or termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.05 may state that such notice is conditioned on the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the consummation of other transactions, in which case, such notice may be revoked or extended by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(b) Mandatory Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. Unless earlier terminated, the Initial Commitments shall immediately and automatically terminate in whole at 5:00 P.M. on the Commitment Termination Date.

Section 2.06 Repayment and Prepayment of the Advances.

(i) for the account of the Tranche A1 Lenders, (1) in a principal amount equal to 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche A1 Advances made on the Funding Date, on each Tranche A1 Repayment Date (which amounts shall be

reduced as a result of the application of voluntary prepayments made pursuant to clause (b) below in the order specified by the Borrower in the applicable notice of prepayment; provided that if the Borrower fails to make any such specification, any voluntary prepayments made pursuant to clause (b) below shall be applied in direct chronological order to all then-remaining payments) and (2) the then outstanding principal amount of the Tranche A1 Advances on the Tranche A1 Maturity Date;

(ii) for the account of the Tranche A2 Lenders, the outstanding principal amount of the Tranche A2 Advances on the Tranche A2 Maturity Date;

(b) Voluntary Prepayments of Borrowings. The Borrower shall not have any right to prepay any principal amount of the Advances other than as provided in this subsection (b). The Borrower may, at any time after the Funding Date on any Business Day, and upon irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent provided not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on such Business Day, in the case of Base Rate Advances, and at least two Business Days prior to the proposed date of prepayment in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, in each case stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, prepay Advances of any Class, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall prepay such principal amount; provided, however, that (i) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than (A) in the case of Tranche A1 Advances, US$10,000,000 or an integral multiple of US$1,000,000 in excess thereof and (B) in the case of Tranche A2 Advances and Tranche A3 Advances, €10,000,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000,000 in excess thereof, (ii) in the case of any such prepayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Advance, the Borrower shall pay all accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the portion of such Eurocurrency Rate Advance being prepaid and shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 9.04(b) and (iii) without limiting the Borrower’s obligations under Section 9.04(b), a notice of prepayment may be conditioned on the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the availability of a source of funds for such prepayment, in which case such notice may be revoked or extended by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

Section 2.07 Interest on Advances. The Borrower shall pay interest accrued on the principal amount of each Advance made to it outstanding from time to time from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

(a) Base Rate Advances. If such Advance is a Base Rate Advance of any Class, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for such Class, payable in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December during the term of this Agreement, commencing on the first of such dates occurring after the Funding Date and on the Maturity Date of the applicable Class; provided that the Administrative Agent may, upon the request of the Majority Lenders, require that the Borrower pay interest (“Base Rate Default Interest”) on any amount of principal, interest, fees and other amounts payable under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the principal amount of Base Rate Advances, but excluding the principal amount of Eurocurrency Rate Advances) which is not paid when due and payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) from the date on which such amount is due and payable until such amount is paid in full, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin in respect of Tranche A1 Advances; provided, however, that following the making of the request or the granting of the consent by the Majority Lenders specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Advances due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, or upon acceleration of the Advances (pursuant to a vote of the Majority Lenders or by process of law upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 6.01(e)), Base Rate Default Interest shall accrue and be payable hereunder whether or not previously required by the Majority Lenders.

(b) Eurocurrency Rate Advances. If such Advance is a Eurocurrency Rate Advance of any Class, a rate per annum equal at all times during the Interest Period for such Advance to the sum of the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for such Class, 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 the day which occurs during such Interest Period three months from the first day of such Interest Period; provided that the Administrative Agent may, upon the request of the Majority Lenders, require that the Borrower pay interest (“Eurocurrency Default Interest”) on any principal amount of any Eurocurrency Rate Advance which is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) from the date on which such amount is due until such amount is paid in full, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to (i) with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in U.S. Dollars, (x) during the Interest Period applicable to such Eurocurrency Rate Advance, 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such amount immediately prior to the date on which such amount became due and (y) after the expiration of such Interest Period, 2% per annum above the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin in respect of Tranche A1 Advances and (ii) with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in Euros, (x) during the Interest Period applicable to such Eurocurrency Rate Advance, 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such amount immediately prior to the date on which such amount became due and (y) after the expiration of such Interest Period, 2% per annum above the Eurocurrency Rate for the applicable currency and for a one month Interest Period in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin in respect of Advances of the applicable Class; provided, however, that following the making of the request or the granting of the consent by the Majority Lenders specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the

Administrative Agent to declare the Advances due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, or upon acceleration of the Advances (pursuant to a vote of the Majority Lenders or by process of law upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 6.01(e)), Eurocurrency Default Interest shall accrue and be payable hereunder whether or not previously required by the Majority Lenders.

(c) Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Advances. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency Liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Advance made to the Borrower equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Advance by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Advance, provided that the Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. Such Lender shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail a calculation of such actual costs incurred by such Lender and shall certify that, in such Lender’s good-faith determination, it is generally charging such costs to similarly situated customers of similar creditworthiness of the applicable Lender under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 2.07(c) after consideration of such factors as such Lender then reasonably determines to be relevant (which determination shall be made in good faith). If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant interest payment date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.

Section 2.08 Interest Rate Determination.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable interest rates determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of Section 2.07(a) or 2.07(b).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or the Majority Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Majority Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) that the Borrower or Majority Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for U.S. Dollars and the requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii) the supervisor for the administrator of LIBOR or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate

shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”),

then, after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) giving due consideration to the then prevailing market convention broadly accepted by the syndicated loan market for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes (as defined below) and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.01, any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Majority Lenders do not accept such amendment.

If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances based on LIBOR shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Advances or Interest Periods) and the utilization of the Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Advances based on LIBOR (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency 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 and (y) any conversion to or continuation of a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in U.S. Dollars pursuant to Section 2.09 shall be deemed rescinded and such affected Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be continued as Base Rate Advances.

“LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate, any conforming changes to the definitions of Base Rate, Eurocurrency Rate and Interest Period and any related definitions, the timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent and with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), to reflect the adoption of such LIBOR Successor Rate and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice for the administration of such LIBOR Successor Rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent determines with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned)). For the avoidance of doubt, any amendment effectuating any LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes shall be subject to the Borrower’s approval.

Section 2.09 Voluntary Conversion or Continuation of Advances.

(a) The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice in such form as may be approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent) appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion or continuance (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) and subject to the provisions of Section 2.02(b), (i) Convert Advances of any Class denominated in U.S. Dollars of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Advances of such Class denominated in U.S. Dollars of another Type and (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to Advances which are Eurocurrency Rate Advances made to the Borrower, continue all (or, subject to Section 2.02(b), any portion of) such Advances as Eurocurrency Rate Advances and the succeeding Interest Period(s) of such continued Advances shall commence on the last day of the Interest Period of the Advances to be continued. Each such Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (A) the date of such continuation or Conversion, (B) the Advances (or, subject to Section 2.02(b), any portion thereof) to be continued or Converted, (C) if such continuation is of, or such Conversion is into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the duration of the Interest Period for each such Advance and (D) that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Advances comprising such Borrowing, and the Advances comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) If upon the expiration of the then existing Interest Period applicable to any Advance which is a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, the Borrower shall not have delivered a Notice of Conversion/Continuation in accordance with this Section 2.09, then such Advance shall, upon such expiration, automatically be continued as a Eurocurrency Rate Advance with an Interest Period of one month.

(c) After the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) the Borrower may not elect to have any Advance denominated in U.S. Dollars be made or continued as, or Converted into, a Eurocurrency Rate Advance after the expiration of any Interest Period then in effect for such Advance and (ii) any Advance denominated in Euros will automatically be continued as a Eurocurrency Rate Advance with an Interest Period of one month after the expiration of any Interest Period then in effect for such Advance.

Section 2.10 Increased Costs.

(a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Advances payable under Section 2.07(c)) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation, in each case after the Effective Date, or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of

law), in each case issued after the Effective Date, there shall be any increase in the cost (including with respect to Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes)) to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Advances, then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. Such Lender shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail a calculation of such actual costs incurred by such Lender and shall certify that, in such Lender’s good-faith determination, it is generally charging such costs to similarly situated customers of similar creditworthiness of the applicable Lender under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 2.10(a) after consideration of such factors as such Lender then reasonably determines to be relevant (which determination shall be made in good faith). A reasonably detailed certificate as to the amount and manner of calculation of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If any Lender determines that compliance with 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), in each case issued after the Effective Date, affects or would affect 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 capital or liquidity is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder and other commitments of this type, then, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative 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. Such Lender shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail a calculation of such actual costs incurred by such Lender and shall certify that, in such Lender’s good-faith determination, it is generally charging such costs to similarly situated customers of similar creditworthiness of the applicable Lender under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 2.10(b) after consideration of such factors as such Lender then reasonably determines to be relevant (which determination shall be made in good faith). A reasonably detailed certificate as to such amounts and the manner of calculation thereof submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, this Section 2.10(b) shall apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy issued in connection with the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented and this Section 2.10(b) shall apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each

case pursuant to Basel III regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented to the extent that, in such Lender’s good-faith determination, it is generally seeking compensation from other borrowers that are similarly situated to and of similar creditworthiness with respect to its similarly affected commitments, loans and/or participations under agreements with such borrowers having provisions similar to this Section 2.10(b).

(c) If a Lender shall change its Applicable Lending Office, such Lender shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10 and Section 2.12 than the amount such Lender would have been entitled to receive if it had not changed its Applicable Lending Office, unless such change was made at the request of the Borrower or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist.

Section 2.11 Payments and Computations.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (except with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts (other than Ticking Fees, arrangement fees and upfront fees) relating to, Advances or Commitments denominated in Euros), not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S. Dollars to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Schedule 1.02 in same day funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim. The Borrower shall make each payment with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts (other than Ticking Fees, arrangement fees and upfront fees) relating to Advances or Commitments denominated in Euros not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in Euros, in each case, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Schedule 1.02 in same day funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim. Subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or Ticking Fees ratably to the Appropriate 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 receipt of principal or interest paid after an Event of Default and an acceleration or a deemed acceleration of amounts due hereunder, the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest ratably in accordance with each Lender’s outstanding Advances to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices. 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 Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder 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 Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurocurrency Rate or the Federal Funds Rate shall be

made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, 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 is payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Whenever any payment hereunder 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; provided, however, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the preceding Business Day.

(d) Unless the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative 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 that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing.

Section 2.12 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.12) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, in each case attributable to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.07(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.12, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Status of Lenders. (%4)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the

Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.12(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to

the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 or Exhibit E-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.12 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.12), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement hereunder, the agreements and obligations of each party contained in this Section 2.12, shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 2.13 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Advances or other obligations hereunder held by it resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Advances and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Advances and such other obligations of the other Appropriate Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Appropriate Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective portions of the Advances and other amounts owing them; provided that:

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

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

Upon the acceleration or deemed acceleration of the Advances, the obligation of the Lenders to purchase participations in Advances and other obligations shall apply to all other Lenders, irrespective of Class. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.14 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 the Advances 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. The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances of a Class owing to or to be made by such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender promissory notes or other evidence of such indebtedness, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and such Lender, payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the Commitment (or, if such Commitment has been terminated, the Advances) of such Lender of such Class; provided, however, that the execution and delivery of such promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness shall not be a condition precedent to the making of the Advances under this Agreement.

(b) The Register maintained by the Administrative 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, amount, currency and tenor, as applicable, of each Borrowing, the Class of such Borrowing, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it, if any, (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 Administrative Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.

Section 2.15 Use of Proceeds.

(a) The Advances shall be used by the Borrower (i) to finance in part the Merger (or to refinance advances under the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement or other funds used to consummate or otherwise in connection with the Merger), (ii) to pay a portion of the Transaction Costs and/or (iii) for general corporate purposes.

(b) No portion of the proceeds of the Advances shall be used by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in any manner which might cause the Advances or the application of such proceeds to violate, or require any Lender to make any filing or take any other action under, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

(c) The Borrower will not request any Borrowing, and the Borrower shall not knowingly use, and shall procure that its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall not knowingly use, the proceeds of the Advances (A) 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 violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (B) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, or (C) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any party hereto.

Section 2.16 Extension of Maturity Date.

(a) The Borrower may, not later than 30 days, and not earlier than 60 days, prior to each applicable anniversary of the Funding Date during the term of this Agreement (as may be extended from time to time pursuant to this Section 2.16) (the “Current Anniversary Date”), and not more than once in any calendar year with respect to each Facility, from time to time request that the Maturity Date in respect of the Tranche A2 Facility and/or the Tranche A3 Facility for all Eligible Lenders (as defined below) under such Facility be extended for a period of one year from the then-applicable Maturity Date by delivering to the Administrative Agent a copy of an extension request signed by the Borrower (an “Extension Request”) in substantially the form of Exhibit H hereto; provided that as of the date of any such extension of the applicable Maturity Date, (i) the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in Article IV are correct in all material respects (except those representations and warranties qualified by materiality, which shall be true and correct) on and as of such date, as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent that any such representation or warranty expressly relates only to an earlier date, in which case it was correct in all material respects (except those representations and warranties qualified by materiality, which shall be true and correct) as of such earlier date, and (ii) no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of such Extension Request.

(b) On or prior to the fifteenth day (the “Determination Date”) prior to the Current Anniversary Date, each Eligible Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and the

Borrower of its willingness or unwillingness to consent to the applicable Extension Request. Any Eligible Lender that shall fail to so notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, on or prior to the Determination Date, shall be deemed to have declined to so extend.

(c) In the event that, on or prior to the Determination Date, Eligible Lenders holding more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Advances of all Eligible Lenders then in effect in respect of the applicable Facility shall consent to such extension (each such Lender, a “Consenting Lender”; each such event, an “Extension Approval”), the Administrative Agent shall so advise the Appropriate Lenders and the Borrower and the Maturity Date in respect of the applicable Facility shall be extended to the date indicated in the Extension Request with respect to such Consenting Lenders. Thereafter, (i) for each Consenting Lender, the term “Maturity Date” with respect to its Advances under the applicable Facility as used herein and in any promissory note executed and delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14 hereof, shall at all times refer to such date indicated in the applicable Extension Request, unless it is later extended pursuant to this Section 2.16, and (ii) for each Lender that is not an Eligible Lender or a Consenting Lender (each such Lender, a “Non-Extending Lender”), the term “Maturity Date” with respect to its Advances under the applicable Facility shall at all times refer to the date which was the Maturity Date with respect to such Facility then in effect prior to the delivery to the Administrative Agent of such Extension Request; provided that any Non-Extending Lender (including any direct or indirect assignee of any Non-Extending Lender) may, with the written consent of the Borrower, elect at any time prior to the Maturity Date then applicable to its Advances to consent to the Borrower’s prior Extension Requests by delivering a written notice to such effect to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and upon the receipt by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such notice, the Maturity Date with respect to the applicable Advances of such Non-Extending Lender shall be extended to the date indicated in the applicable Extension Requests and such Non-Extending Lender shall be deemed to be a Consenting Lender in respect of such prior Extension Requests for all purposes hereunder.

(d) In the event that, as of any Determination Date, the Consenting Lenders hold 50% or less of the aggregate principal amount of the Advances of all Eligible Lenders then in effect under the applicable Facility, the Administrative Agent shall so advise the Appropriate Lenders and the Borrower, and the Maturity Date with respect to the Advances held by each Lender under the applicable Facility shall continue to be the date which was the Maturity Date immediately prior to the delivery to the Administrative Agent of such Extension Request. For purposes of this Section 2.16, the term “Eligible Lenders” means, with respect to any Extension Request related to the Tranche A2 Facility or the Tranche A3 Facility, as applicable, (i) all Appropriate Lenders if the Maturity Date of no Appropriate Lender’s Advances had been extended pursuant to this Section 2.16 prior to the delivery to the Administrative Agent of such Extension Request, and (ii) in all other cases, those Appropriate Lenders which extended the Maturity Date of their Advances in the most recent extension of any Maturity Date effected pursuant to this Section 2.16.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the effectiveness of each Extension Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.16.

Section 2.17 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders; Non-Ratable Termination of Commitments.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under ‎Section 2.10, 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 2.12, or if any Lender gives the Administrative Agent any notice under Section 2.02(b)(iii) that it is unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances, 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 2.10 or ‎Section 2.12, or eliminate such unlawfulness, 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.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under ‎Section 2.10, 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 2.12, or if any Lender gives the Administrative Agent any notice under Section 2.02(b)(iii) that it is unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with ‎Section 2.17(a), or if a Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, ‎Section 9.07), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to ‎Section 2.10, ‎Section 2.12 or ‎Section 9.04) 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 Administrative 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 and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under ‎Section 9.04(b)) from the assignee or the Borrower;

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under ‎Section 2.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to ‎Section 2.12, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a notice of unlawfulness under Section 2.02(b)(iii), the assignee will not be subject to such unlawfulness;

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

(vi) 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, consent or Extension Request; and

(vii) no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

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.

Each party hereto agrees that (a) an assignment required pursuant to this Section 2.17(b) may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and (b) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to and be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender; provided, further that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

(c) Non-Ratable Termination of Commitments and Prepayment of Certain Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10 and the Majority Lenders are not also doing the same, 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 2.12 and the Borrower is not also required to make such payments to the Majority Lenders, or if any Lender gives any Agent any notice under Section 2.02(b)(iii) that it is unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances and the Majority Lenders have not also provided such notice, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.17(a), or if any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, prepay the Advances of such Lender in full, together with accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 9.04(b)); provided that no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

The Commitments or Advances, as applicable, of a Lender may not be terminated or so prepaid if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to terminate such Commitment or make such prepayment, as applicable, cease to apply.

Section 2.18 Incremental Commitments.

(a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time prior to the latest Maturity Date then in effect under the Term Loan A Facilities, request Incremental Commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed (i) $200,000,000 with respect to Incremental Commitments in respect of Tranche A1 Advances and (ii) €500,000,000 with respect to Incremental Commitments in respect of Tranche A2 Advances and Tranche A3 Advances in the aggregate from one or more Incremental Lenders (which may include any existing Lender) willing to provide such Incremental Commitments in their sole discretion; provided that each Incremental Lender (which is not an existing Lender) shall be subject to the approval requirements of Section 9.07. Such notice shall set forth (A) the amount of the Incremental Commitments being requested (which shall be in multiples of (i) in the case of Incremental Commitments that are denominated in U.S. Dollars, US$10,000,000 and (ii) in the case of Incremental Commitments that are denominated in Euros, €10,000,000) and (B) the date on which such Incremental Commitments are requested to become effective, (C) the terms of such Incremental Commitments and (D) whether such Incremental Commitments are to make Advances on the same terms as the existing Tranche A1 Advances, Tranche A2 Advances or Tranche A3 Advances. No Lender shall be obligated to increase its Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.18 unless it so agrees.

(b) The Borrower and each Incremental Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (each, an “Incremental Assumption Agreement”) to evidence the Incremental Commitment of such Incremental Lender, which shall supplement this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents. Each Incremental Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of the Incremental Advances to be made thereunder, including the designation of Incremental Commitments as Tranche A1 Commitments, Tranche A2 Commitments or Tranche A3 Commitments, and the Incremental Advances thereunder shall be made on terms and conditions agreed to by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Assumption Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.18 unless on the date of such effectiveness (unless otherwise agreed among the Incremental Lenders and the Borrower):

(i) subject to Section 1.03(h)(ii), the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV are correct in all material respects (except those representations and warranties qualified by materiality, which shall be true and correct) on and as of such date, as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent that any such representation or warranty expressly relates only to an earlier date, in which case it was correct in all material respects (except those representations and warranties qualified by materiality, which shall be true and correct) as of such earlier date, and the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the applicable Incremental Lenders) shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an authorized officer of the Borrower;

(ii) subject to Section 1.03(h)(i), no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would exist after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments or at the time of the making of such Incremental Advances; and

(iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received such legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates and documentation (including opinions of counsel (which may be in-house counsel)) as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Advances that are to be part of an outstanding Term Loan A Facility, when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Advances of such Term Loan A Facility on a pro rata basis.

(e) Notwithstanding the terms of Section 9.01, any Incremental Assumption Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to implement the provisions of this Section, a copy of which shall be made available to each Lender.

Section 2.19 Special Purpose Funding Vehicles.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”) the option to fund all or any part of any Advance that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to fund pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by an SPC to fund any Advance, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to fund all or any part of such Advance, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to fund such Advance pursuant to the terms hereof. The funding of an Advance by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Advance were funded by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or payment under this Agreement for which a Lender would otherwise be liable for so long as, and to the extent, the Granting Lender provides such indemnity or makes such payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any SPC may disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Advances to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee to such SPC.

(b) Each Granting Lender, acting solely for this purpose on the Borrower’s behalf, shall maintain a register comparable to the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(c) for purpose of recording the funding of Advances by SPCs.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount under Sections 2.10, 2.12 or 2.17 that is greater than the amount which the Borrower would have been required to pay had such SPC not provided the Borrower with any part of any Advance of such Granting Lender and (ii) an SPC shall not be entitled to any benefits under Section 2.12 unless such SPC agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.10(c), 2.12(d), 2.12(f), 2.12(g) and 2.17 as if it were an assignee (as of the date it funds its first Advance hereunder) under Section 9.07.

Article VIII
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 8.01 Appointment and Authority. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and, except as expressly set forth in ‎Section 8.06, the Borrower shall not have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

Section 8.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other

Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 8.03 Exculpatory Provisions.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default or Potential Event of 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 Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any debtor relief law; and

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in ‎Section 9.01 and ‎Section 6.01), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Potential Event of Default or Event of Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any Potential Event of Default or Event of Default unless and until the Borrower or any Lender shall have

given notice to the Administrative Agent describing such Potential Event of Default or Event of Default and such event or events.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Potential Event of Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Section 8.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and 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 Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless an officer of the Administrative 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 such Lender shall not have made available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of the applicable Borrowing. The Administrative 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 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (only to the extent the Borrower is required to reimburse the Administrative Agent pursuant to ‎Section 9.04 and only to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), ratably according to the respective principal amounts of the Advances then held by each of them (or if no Advances are at the time outstanding or if any Advances are held by Persons which are not Lenders, ratably according to the respective amounts of their Commitments), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, syndication, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower.

Section 8.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Majority Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly and, during such period, the Borrower shall have no obligation to pay to any Person the fees described in Section 2.04, until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties as Administrative Agent of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and ‎Section 9.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub‑agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (i) while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation for so long as any of them continues to

act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent.

Section 8.07 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or more sub‑agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. Each such sub‑agent and the Related Parties of the Administrative 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 “Administrative Agent” hereunder) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross-negligence or willful misconduct in selection of sub-agents.

Section 8.08 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 8.09 Other Agents. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that none of the Arrangers shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

Section 8.10 Certain ERISA Matters.

and provided, further that (x) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any Note and (y) the consent of Lenders having at least a majority (based on the Equivalent in U.S. Dollars at such time) in interest of a Facility shall be required with respect to any amendment or waiver that by its terms adversely affects the rights of Lenders under such Facility in respect of payments hereunder in a manner that is materially worse than the manner in which such amendment or waiver affects other Facilities.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Assumption Agreement may be effected in accordance with Section 2.18 without the consent of any Lenders other than the Incremental Lenders providing the Incremental Commitments contemplated thereby.

Furthermore, and notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this ‎Section 9.01, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical nature, in each case, in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision, and such amendments shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Majority Lenders within five Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

The Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.19); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall be under no obligation to xxxx any Borrower Materials “PUBLIC.”

(ii) The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to any Loan Document

or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform.

Section 9.03 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder 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, Expenses and Indemnification.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay promptly on demand all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses (other than Taxes, for which the provisions of Section 2.12 shall apply instead) of the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent and the Administrative Agent (in their respective capacities as such) in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, syndication, modification and amendment of this Agreement and the other documents to be delivered hereunder or thereunder, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of a single counsel for the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent and the Administrative Agent and, if necessary, of a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions), with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent and the Administrative Agent as to their respective rights and responsibilities hereunder. The Borrower further agrees to pay promptly on demand all costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and of each Lender, if any (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and out-of-pocket expenses but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Taxes), in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the enforcement of rights under this ‎Section 9.04 (a). This Section 9.04(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(b) If any payment of principal of any Eurocurrency Rate Advances extended to the Borrower is made other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advances, as a result of a payment pursuant to Section 2.04 or acceleration of the maturity of the Advances pursuant to ‎Section 6.01 or for any other reason, or if any Eurocurrency Rate Advance is continued or converted pursuant to Section 2.09 on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, the Borrower shall, upon demand by any Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses which it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, including, without limitation, any loss, 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 Lender’s portion of such Advances.

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as such), each Arranger, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of the foregoing (each an “Indemnified Person”) in connection with any expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Administrative Agent, an Arranger, a Lender or such Indemnified Persons may become subject (other than Taxes, for which the provisions of ‎Section 2.12 shall apply instead), insofar as such expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or other proceedings commenced or threatened in respect thereof) arise out of the transactions referred to in this Agreement or arise from any use or intended use of the proceeds of the Advances, or to the extent relating to the foregoing, in any way arise out of activities of the Borrower that violate Environmental Laws, and to reimburse the Administrative Agent, each Arranger, each Lender and each Indemnified Person, upon their demand, for any reasonable legal or other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or participating in any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action or other proceeding, whether commenced or threatened (whether or not the Administrative Agent, such Arranger, such Lender or any such person is a party to any action or proceeding out of which any such expense arises). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to an Indemnified Person with respect to indemnified liabilities which have resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person, as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, (y) a claim brought by the Borrower against an Indemnified Person for breach in bad faith of such Indemnified Person’s obligations hereunder in which the Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) a claim not involving an act or omission of the Borrower and that is brought by an Indemnified Person against another Indemnified Person (other than against the Arrangers or the Administrative Agent in their capacities as such). In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, any of its respective equity holders or creditors, an Indemnified Person or any other person or entity, whether or not an Indemnified Person is otherwise a party thereto. This Section 9.04(c) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and the Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby, the Advances or the use of the proceeds thereof.

Section 9.05 Right of Set-off. Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by ‎Section 6.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Advances due and payable pursuant to the provisions of ‎Section 6.01, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any

and all deposits (time or demand, provisional or final, or general, but not special (in whatever currency)) at any time held and other indebtedness (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or 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 that are then due and payable, whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement, and each such Affiliate is hereby irrevocably authorized to permit such setoff and application. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which such Lender may have.

Section 9.06 Binding Effect; Integration. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been executed and delivered when it shall have been executed and delivered by the Lenders, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that, other than as expressly provided herein, the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of all Lenders. This Agreement, the Fee Letter and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

Section 9.07 Assignments and Participations.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The Borrower may not assign any of its rights or transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents unless consented to by all of the Lenders. 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 ‎Section 9.07(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of ‎Section 9.07(d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of ‎Section 9.07(e) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

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

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Advances at the time owing to it (in each case with respect to any Class) or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, 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 Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than (i) in the case of Tranche A1 Advances, US$5,000,000 or an integral multiple of US$1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) in the case of Tranche A2 Advances and Tranche A3 Advances, €5,000,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000,000 in excess thereof, in each case unless the Administrative 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 Advances or the Commitments assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Classes on a non pro rata basis.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section 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, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of any Class if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender

with a Commitment in respect of such Class, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of US$3,500; provided that (x) other than with respect to Section 2.17(b), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any processing and recordation fee and (y) the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, 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 hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of ‎Section 2.10, ‎Section 2.12 and ‎Section 9.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary 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 Commitment of, and principal amounts (and currency and stated interest) of the Advances of each Class 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 Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. 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. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than

a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or for the primary benefit of one or more natural Persons), the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and/or the Advances owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under ‎Section 8.05 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in ‎Section 9.01(b), ‎Section 9.01(c) or ‎Section 9.01(d) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of ‎Section 2.10, ‎Section 2.12 and ‎Section 9.04(b) (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under ‎Section 2.12(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.12(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of ‎Section 2.17 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under ‎Section 2.10 or ‎Section 2.12, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, as applicable, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of ‎Section 2.17(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of ‎Section 9.05 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to ‎Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and currency 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, loans, letters of credit 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, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) or Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any

notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

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

(London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Euro into U.S. Dollars, the parties agree to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase such Euro with U.S. Dollars at Bank of America’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the “Primary Currency”) to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be), of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the applicable Primary Currency with such other currency; if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased exceeds such sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to the Borrower such excess.

SCHEDULE 1.01 – Litigation and Investigations

Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx v. Computer Sciences Corporation and The City of New York.

On October 27, 2014, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and the Attorney General for the State of New York filed complaints-in-intervention on behalf of the United States and the State of New York, respectively, against Computer Sciences Corporation (“CSC”) and The City of New York. This action arose out of a qui tam complaint originally filed under seal in 2012 by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, a former employee of CSC. The complaints allege that from 2008 to 2012 New York City and CSC, in its role as fiscal agent for New York City’s Early Intervention Program (“EIP”), a federal program that provides services for infants and toddlers with manifest or potential developmental delays, violated the federal and state False Claims Acts and various common law standards by allegedly orchestrating a billing fraud against Medicaid through the misapplication of default billing codes and the failure to exhaust private insurance coverage before submitting claims to Medicaid. The New York Attorney General’s complaint also alleges that New York City and CSC failed to reimburse Medicaid in certain instances where insurance had paid a portion of the claim. The lawsuits seek treble statutory damages, other civil penalties and attorneys’ fees and costs.

On January 26, 2015, CSC and the City of New York moved to dismiss Xxxxxxx’x amended qui tam complaint as well as the federal and state complaints-in-intervention. In June 2016, the Court dismissed Xxxxxxx’x amended complaint in its entirety. With regard to the complaints-in-intervention, the Court dismissed the federal claims alleging misuse of default diagnosis codes when the provider had entered an invalid code, and the state claims alleging failure to reimburse Medicaid when claims were subsequently paid by private insurance. The Court denied the motions to dismiss with respect to the federal and state claims relating to (i) submission of insurance claims with a code signifying that the patient’s policy ID was unknown, and (ii) submission of claims to Medicaid after the statutory deadline for payment by private insurance had passed, and state common law claims. In accordance with the ruling, the United States and the State of New York each filed amended complaints-in-intervention on September 6, 2016. In addition to reasserting the claims upheld by the Court, the amended complaints assert new claims alleging that the compensation provisions of CSC’s contract with New York City rendered it ineligible to serve as a billing agent under state law.

On November 9, 2016, CSC filed motions to dismiss the amended complaints in their entirety. On August 10, 2017, the Court granted in part and denied in part the motions to dismiss, allowing the remaining causes of action to proceed. On January 9, 2018, the Company answered the complaints, and asserted a counterclaim against the State of New York on a theory of contribution and indemnification. On January 30, 2018, the State of New York filed a motion to dismiss the Company’s

counterclaim. In a ruling dated September 20, 2018, the Court allowed the Company’s counterclaim for indemnification to proceed with respect to liability for claims not arising under the Federal False Claims Act. The Parties participated in a non-binding mediation on November 29, 2017, but no settlement has been reached to date. Discovery has now commenced. The Company believes that these claims are without merit and intends to continue to defend itself vigorously.

Xxxxxxx Fair Labor Standards Act Collective Action

On July 1, 2014, plaintiffs Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, and Xxxxxx Xxxxx filed an action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of themselves and a putative nationwide collective of CSC system administrators, alleging CSC’s failure to properly classify these employees as non-exempt under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). Plaintiffs allege similar state-law Rule 23 class claims pursuant to Connecticut and California statutes, including the Connecticut Minimum Wage Act, the California Unfair Competition Law, California Labor Code, California Wage Order No. 4-2001 and the California Private Attorneys General Act. Plaintiffs claim double overtime damages, liquidated damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, civil penalties, and other state-specific remedies.

In 2015 the Court entered an order granting conditional certification under the FLSA of the collective of over 4,000 system administrators, and notice of the right to participate in the FLSA collective action was mailed to the system administrators. Approximately 1,000 system administrators, prior to the announced deadline, filed consents with the Court to participate in the FLSA collective.

On June 30, 2017, the Court granted Rule 23 certification of a Connecticut state-law class and a California state-law class consisting of professional system administrators and associate professional system administrators. Senior professional system administrators were found not to qualify for Rule 23 certification under the state-law claims. On July 14, 2017, the Company petitioned the Second Circuit Court of Appeals for permission to file an appeal of the Rule 23 decision. That petition was denied on November 21, 2017.

As a result of the Court's findings in its Rule 23 certification order, the parties entered into a stipulation to decertify the senior professional system administrators from the FLSA collective. On August 2, 2017, the Court approved the stipulation, and the FLSA collective action is currently made up of approximately 700 individuals who held the title of associate professional or professional system administrator.

A jury trial commenced on December 11, 2017. On December 20, 2017, the jury returned a verdict in favor of plaintiffs, finding that the Company had misclassified the class of employees as exempt under federal and state laws, and finding that it had done so willfully. In a ruling dated September 21, 2018, the Court denied the Company’s motions for judgment as a matter of law, and for decertification. Further rulings on the scope of damages are pending. The Company disagrees with the verdict and intends to continue to defend itself vigorously, including by appealing the verdict and the final judgment of the Court.

Computer Sciences Corporation v. Xxxx Xxxxxx, et al.

On May 12, 2015, CSC and its wholly owned subsidiary, ServiceMesh Inc. (“SMI”), filed a civil complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against Xxxx Xxxxxx, the former CEO of SMI, which had been acquired by CSC on November 15, 2013. Following the acquisition, Xx. Xxxxxx signed a retention agreement with SMI pursuant to which he received a grant of restricted stock units of CSC and agreed to be bound by CSC’s rules and policies, including CSC’s Code of Business Conduct. Xx. Xxxxxx resigned from SMI on April 22, 2015 amid allegations that he had engaged in fraudulent transactions with two employees of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia Ltd. (“CBA”). The original complaint against Xx. Xxxxxx asserted claims for fraud, breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty. In an amended complaint, CSC named TechAdvisors, LLC and Shareholder Representative Services LLC (“SRS”) as additional defendants. In ruling on a motion to dismiss filed by Xx. Xxxxxx, the Court dismissed CSC’s claim for breach of the implied covenant of good faith, but allowed substantially all of the remaining claims to proceed. Xx. Xxxxxx asserted counter-claims for breach of contract, fraud, negligent representation, rescission, and violations of the California Blue Sky securities law. With the exception of the claim for breach of his retention agreement, the Court dismissed in whole or in part each of Xx. Xxxxxx’x counterclaims.

On December 17, 2015, CSC entered into a settlement agreement with the majority of the former equityholders of SMI, as well as with SRS acting in its capacity as the agent and attorney-in-fact for the settling equityholders. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, CSC received $16.5 million, which amount was equal to the settling equityholders’ pro rata share of the funds remaining in escrow from the transaction, which was recorded as an offset to selling, general and administrative costs in CSC’s statements of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. On February 20, 2017, CSC, SRS and the former equityholders of SMI who remain named defendants entered into a partial settlement agreement by which CSC received payment of some of the funds remaining in escrow.

On July 20, 2017, the Court granted a motion by the United States for a 90-day stay of discovery pending the completion of a criminal investigation. On September 27, 2017, a grand jury empaneled by the United States District Court for the Central District of California returned an indictment against Xx. Xxxxxx, charging him with conspiracy, securities and wire fraud, obstruction of justice, and other violations of federal law (United States v. Xxxx Xxxxxx, CR 17-599-AB). The Government sought an extension of the stay which the Delaware Chancery Court granted on November 3, 2017.

On December 18, 2018, the Government filed an application to dismiss the indictment against Xx. Xxxxxx, and on December 20, 2018, the United States District Court for the Central District of California granted the application and dismissed the indictment with prejudice.

On December 21, 2018, CSC filed a motion to lift the stay in its civil lawsuit against Xx. Xxxxxx in Delaware Chancery Court, and a motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction preventing Xx. Xxxxxx from dissipating approximately $4.9 million previously seized by the Government in connection with its criminal investigation.

In addition, law enforcement officials in Australia have brought bribery-related charges against the two former CBA employees. One of these has since pled guilty, and in 2016 received a sentence of imprisonment. In 2016, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California announced similar criminal charges against this same CBA employee for securities fraud and wire fraud. These criminal charges were dismissed on December 20, 2018. In April 2018 the other former CBA employee was committed to stand trial in the Australian criminal courts. The Company is cooperating with and assisting the Australian authorities in their investigation.

On February 17, 2016, Xx. Xxxxxx filed a complaint in Delaware Chancery Court against CSC and its subsidiary - CSC Agility Platform, Inc., formerly known as SMI - seeking advancement of his legal fees and costs. On May 12, 2016, the Court ruled that CSC Agility Platform - as the successor to SMI - is liable for advancing 80% of Xx. Xxxxxx’x fees and costs in the underlying civil action. Xx. Xxxxxx also filed a complaint for advancement of the legal fees and costs incurred in connection with his defense of criminal investigations by the U.S. Government and other entities. On August 7, 2017, the Court ruled substantially in Xx. Xxxxxx'x favor. On January 30, 2018, the Court reduced the Company’s advancement obligation to only 80% of the criminal defense fees and costs sought by Xx. Xxxxxx. In undertakings previously provided to SMI, Xx. Xxxxxx agreed to repay all amounts advanced to him if it should ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to indemnification.

Xxxxxx Corporate Services, Inc. v. Computer Sciences Corporation

In October 2015, Xxxxxx Corporate Services, Inc. (“Xxxxxx”) filed a demand for arbitration against CSC with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), alleging that CSC breached the terms of a 2009 Master Software License and Services Agreement and related Work Orders (the “Agreement”) by failing to complete a software translation and implementation plan by certain contractual deadlines. Xxxxxx claimed breach of contract, seeking approximately $100 million in damages measured in part by the amount of the fees paid under the contract, as well as pre-judgment interest, and in the alternative claimed rescission of the Agreement. CSC answered the demand for arbitration denying Xxxxxx’x claims and asserting a counterclaim for unpaid invoices for services rendered by CSC.

A single arbitrator conducted an evidentiary hearing on the merits of the claims and counterclaims in April 2017. Oral argument took place on August 28, 2017. On October 2, 2017, the arbitrator issued a partial final award, finding for Xxxxxx on its breach of contract theory, awarding Xxxxxx $84.2 million in compensatory damages plus prejudgment interest, denying Xxxxxx’x claim for rescission as moot, and denying CSC’s counterclaim. Xxxxxx moved on October 10, 2017, in federal district court in Texas to confirm the award. On November 16, 2017, the arbitrator issued a Final Award which reiterated his findings of fact and law, calculated the amount of prejudgment interest, and awarded Xxxxxx its costs of arbitration including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. On December 6, 2017, the Company filed a motion to vacate the award in federal district court in New York. A week later, the New York court stayed the action in deference to the Texas court’s decision as to which venue was more appropriate to address the vacatur arguments. On January 12, 2018, the Company appeared in the Texas action seeking a stay of the confirmation proceedings or a transfer of venue to New York. On March 2, 2018, the Texas court denied the venue transfer motion. The pending vacatur motion was accordingly transferred to the Texas court, and a new memorandum of law in support of the motion was filed in that jurisdiction on March 30, 2018. On August 27, 2018, the Magistrate Judge issued its Report and Recommendation denying the vacatur motion. On September 10, 2018, the Company filed its objections to this report to the United States District Judge who reviews the decision de novo. On September 18, 2018, the District Court summarily accepted the Report and Recommendation without further briefing and entered a Final Judgment in the case. On September 27, 2018, the Company filed a notice of appeal to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Company has also paid the portion of the judgment that is uncontested on appeal, and Xxxxxx recorded this partial satisfaction of the judgment on September 26, 2018. On January 16, 2019, the Company filed its opening brief with the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Xxxxxx is expected to file its brief on March 1, 2019, and the Company will file its reply brief on March 29, 2019. No further dates have been set at this time.

The Company disagrees with the decision of the arbitrator and intends to continue to defend itself vigorously. The Company is also pursuing coverage for the full scope of the award, interest, and legal fees and expenses, under the Company's applicable insurance policies.

Forsyth, et al. v. HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise

This purported class and collective action was filed on August 18, 2016 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, against Hewlett Packard Co., now known as HP Inc. (“HP”) and Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (“HPE”) alleging violations of the Federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, California public policy and the California Business and Professions Code. Former business units of HPE now owned by the Company will be proportionately liable for any recovery by plaintiffs in this matter. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on December 19, 2016. Plaintiffs seek to certify a nationwide class action under the ADEA comprised of all U.S. residents employed by defendants who had their employment terminated pursuant to a work force reduction (“WFR”) plan on or after December 9, 0000 (xxxxxxxx xxxxxx) and April 8, 2015 (non-deferral states), and who were 40 years of age or older at the time of termination. Plaintiffs also seek to represent a Rule 23 class under California law comprised of all persons 40 years or older employed by defendants in the state of California and terminated pursuant to a WFR plan on or after August 18, 2012. On January 30, 2017, defendants filed a partial motion to dismiss and a motion to compel arbitration of claims by certain named and opt-in plaintiffs who had signed releases as part of their WFR packages. On September 20, 2017, the Court denied the partial motion to dismiss without prejudice, but granted defendants’ motions to compel arbitration for those named and opt-in plaintiffs. Accordingly, the Court has stayed the entire action pending arbitration for these individuals, and administratively closed the case. Plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration as well as a notice of appeal to the Ninth Circuit (which has been denied as premature). The reconsideration motion was denied without oral argument. In that same decision, the Court held that a joint arbitration was permissible. The Company subsequently sought and obtained leave of Court to file a motion for reconsideration arguing that joint arbitration is not permitted under the relevant employee agreements. The Court denied the motion on April 17, 2018, ruling that interpretation of the employee agreements is an issue delegated to the arbitrator. The American Arbitration Association, which was designated to manage the arbitration process, has selected a single arbitrator to conduct the proceedings. An initial case management conference before the arbitrator was held on June 29, 2018. Pursuant to the release agreements, however, mediation is a precondition to arbitration. A mediation was held on October 4-5, 2018, and a settlement was reached with all 16 named and opt-in plaintiffs who were compelled to arbitrate. Seven of the plaintiffs were aligned to the Company.

A settlement agreement has been signed. The case will continue to proceed in Court, however, with respect to other putative class members. Former business units of the Company now owned by Perspecta Inc. will be proportionately liable for any recovery by plaintiffs in this matter.

Oracle America, Inc., et al. v. Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company

On March 22, 2016, Oracle filed a complaint against HPE in the Northern District of California, alleging copyright infringement, interference with contract, intentional interference with prospective economic relations, and unfair competition. The litigation relates in part to former business units of HPE that are now owned by the Company. The Company may be required to indemnify HPE for a portion of any recovery by Oracle in the litigation related to these business units.

Oracle’s claims arise primarily out of HPE’s prior relationship with a third-party maintenance provider named Terix Computer Company, Inc. (“Terix”). Oracle claims that Terix infringed its copyrights while acting as HPE’s subcontractor for certain customers of HPE’s multivendor support business. Oracle claims that HPE is liable for vicarious and contributory infringement arising from the alleged actions of Terix and for direct infringement arising from its own alleged conduct.

On June 14, 2018, the court heard oral argument on the parties’ cross-motions for summary judgment. On January 29, 2019, the court granted HPE’s motion for summary judgment and denied Oracle’s motion for summary judgment, resolving the matter in HPE’s favor. The court’s order is subject to appeal.

City of Xxxxxx Police and Fire Retirement System v. DXC Technology Company et al.

On December 27, 2018, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia against the Company and two of its current officers. The lawsuit asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is premised on allegedly false and/or misleading statements, and alleged non-disclosure of material facts, regarding the Company’s business, operations, prospects and performance during the proposed class period of February 8, 2018 to November 6, 2018.

The Company believes the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend all claims asserted.

Voluntary Disclosure of Certain Possible Sanctions Law Violations

On February 2, 2017, CSC submitted an initial notification of voluntary disclosure to the U.S. Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) regarding certain possible violations of U.S. sanctions laws pertaining to insurance premium data and claims data processed by two partially-owned joint ventures of Xchanging, which CSC acquired during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. A copy of the disclosure was also provided to Her Majesty’s Treasury Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation in the United Kingdom. The Company has substantially completed its internal investigation and has requested a meeting with OFAC to report its findings.

In addition to the matters noted above, the Company is currently subject in the normal course of business to various claims and contingencies arising from, among other things, disputes with customers, vendors, employees, contract counterparties and other parties, as well as securities matters, environmental matters, matters concerning the licensing and use of intellectual property, and inquiries and investigations by regulatory authorities and government agencies. Some of these disputes involve or may involve litigation. The financial statements reflect the treatment of claims and contingencies based on management's view of the expected outcome. The Company consults with outside legal counsel on issues related to litigation and regulatory compliance and seeks input from other experts and advisors with respect to matters in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of these and other matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and the impact of the final resolution of these and other matters on the Company’s results of operations in a particular subsequent reporting period could be material and adverse, management does not believe based on information currently available to the Company, that the resolution of any of the matters currently pending against the Company will have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company or the ability of the Company to meet its financial obligations as they become due. Unless otherwise noted, the Company is unable to determine at this time a reasonable estimate of a possible loss or range of losses associated with the foregoing disclosed contingent matters.
