(a) Commitment Fee. Each Borrower agrees on a joint and several basis to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a Commitment Fee on the average daily amount of the Unused Commitment of such Lender from the Effective Date (in the case of each Lender), and from the effective date specified in the Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), until the Termination Date of such Lender, payable in Dollars in arrears on each Quarterly Date during the term of such Lender’s Commitment, and on the Termination Date of such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable rate for Commitment Fees in effect from time to time.

(b) Letter of Credit Compensation.

payable) in arrears quarterly on each Quarterly Date and on the Termination Date of such Lender, commencing on the first Quarterly Date after the date hereof.

(ii) Each Borrower agrees on a joint and several basis to pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, (x) a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Date during which such Issuing Bank has acted in such capacity, and on the scheduled Termination Date of such Issuing Bank (if such Issuing Bank acted in such capacity up to such date), in an amount equal to the product of fifteen (15) basis points per annum of the average daily Available LC Amount of such Letter of Credit multiplied by the actual number of days such Letter of Credit was outstanding in such period, divided by 360, as applicable, which amount shall be payable in Dollars and calculated based on the Dollar Equivalent of any amount otherwise calculated in Euros on the date when such amount is payable, and (y) such customary fees and charges in connection with the issuance or administration of each Letter of Credit as may be agreed in writing between any Borrower and such Issuing Bank from time to time.

(B) If the Total Committed Increase shall be greater than the Proposed Aggregate Commitment Increase, then the Total Committed Increase shall be allocated:

(1) first to New Lenders (to the extent of their respective Proposed New Commitments) in such a manner as ~~Livent~~Arcadium and the Administrative Agent shall agree; and

(2) then to Lenders (to the extent of their respective Proposed Increased Commitments, if any) in such a manner as ~~Livent~~Arcadium shall determine in its sole discretion upon consultation with the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall in turn promptly notify each Lender of ~~Livent’s~~Arcadium’s request by sending each Lender a copy of such notice.

(iii) Not later than the date that is five (5) days after the Incremental Term Loan Facility Notice Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify each New Lender, if any, identified in the related Incremental Term Loan Facility Notice of the opportunity to commit to all or any portion of the Incremental Term Loan Facility. Each such New Lender may irrevocably commit to all or a portion of the Incremental Term Loan Facility (such New Lender’s “Proposed New Lender Incremental Term Loan Commitment”) by notifying the Administrative Agent (which shall give

prompt notice thereof to ~~Livent~~Arcadium) before 11:00 A.M. on the date that is ten (10) days after the Incremental Term Loan Facility Notice Date; provided, that:

In no event shall any Lender be obligated to increase its Commitments hereunder.

(v) If the aggregate amount of Proposed New Lender Incremental Term Loan Commitments and Proposed Existing Lender Incremental Term Loan Commitments (such aggregate amount, the “Total Committed Incremental Term Loan”) equals or exceeds $50 million, then, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.04(c)(i), effective on and as of the Incremental Term Loan Facility Date, the Total Commitments shall be increased by the Total Committed Incremental Term Loan (provided, that the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall in no event be increased pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) to more than $700 million, less the amount of any reductions of the Total Commitments under Section 2.04(a)) and shall be allocated among the New Lenders and the Lenders as provided in Section 2.04(c)(vi).

If the Total Committed Incremental Term Loan is less than $50 million, then the Total Commitments shall not be changed.

(B) If the Total Committed Incremental Term Loan shall be greater than the Incremental Term Loan Facility, then the Total Committed Incremental Term Loan shall be allocated as determined by ~~Livent~~Arcadium in consultation with the Administrative Agent.

(vii) No increase in the Commitments contemplated hereby shall become effective until the Administrative Agent shall have received (A) an amendment (an “Incremental Term Loan Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrowers, each Lender agreeing to provide such Incremental Term Loan Commitments, if any, each New Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.07, provided, the Incremental Term Loan Amendment may, without need for 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 ~~Livent~~Arcadium, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.04(c), (d) to the extent requested, term loan notes payable by each of the Borrowers to each Lender or each New Lender, as applicable, (e) evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that such Incremental Term Loan Amendment has been duly authorized by each of the Loan Parties and (f) a favorable opinion of counsel to the Loan Parties, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, Lender, if any, and New Lenders, if any, and covering such customary matters relating to the Incremental Term Loan Amendment as the Administrative Agent may request including as to continuing perfection.

(ix) The Borrowers may use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loan Facility for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.

Section 2.05. ~~Section 2.05.~~ Repayment.

(b) Letter of Credit Loans. The Letters of Credit shall be repaid as set forth in Section 3.02.

(i) If, as of the last Business Day of any week during the period from the Effective Date until the Final Maturity Date, (A) the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of all Loans (for which purpose the amount of any Loan that is denominated in an Alternate Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent thereof) plus (ii) the Available LC Amount of all Letters of Credit (for which purpose the Available LC Amount of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent thereof as of the date of determination) exceeds (g) 103% of the then Total Commitments, the Administrative Agent shall use all reasonable efforts to give prompt written notice thereof to ~~Livent~~Arcadium, specifying the amount to be prepaid under this clause (i), and the Borrowers shall, within two (2) Business Days of the date of such notice, prepay the Loans in an amount so that after giving effect thereto the

aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans (determined as aforesaid) plus the Available LC Amount of all Letters of Credit (determined as aforesaid) does not exceed the Total Commitments; provided, that any such payment shall be accompanied by any amounts payable under Section 9.04(c).

(ii) In addition, if on the last day of any Interest Period the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans (after giving effect to any Loans being made to repay Loans maturing on that date) plus the Available LC Amount of all Letters of Credit would exceed 100% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments, the Administrative Agent shall use all reasonable efforts to give prompt written notice thereof to ~~Livent~~Arcadium, specifying the amount to be prepaid under this clause (ii), and the Borrowers shall, within two (2) Business Days of the date of such notice, prepay the Loans, or cause Loans to be prepaid, or reduce the requested Loans in such amounts that after giving effect to such action the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans (after giving effect to any Loans being made to repay Loans maturing on that date) plus the Available LC Amount of all Letters of Credit does not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments; provided, that any such payment shall be accompanied by any amounts payable under Section 9.04(c).

(iii) The determinations of the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.05(c) shall be conclusive and binding on each Borrower in the absence of manifest error.

(d) If any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments in respect of the Obligations due to it from or for the benefit of any Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.05 to the Non-Defaulting Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their ratable portion of all Obligations until such Non-Defaulting Lenders have been repaid in full. Such Defaulting Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to distribute such payments in accordance with Section 2.13(a)(iii). This Section 2.05 shall (i) apply and be effective regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and notwithstanding (h) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or (i) any instruction of any Borrower as to its desired application of payments and (5) not be deemed to relieve or otherwise release any Borrower from any of its Obligations due or owing to any Lender, including a Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.06. ~~Section 2.06.~~ Interest.

(a) Ordinary Interest. Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by each Lender to such Borrower, from the date of such Loan until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum and in each case subject to Section 2.13(a)(iii):

(i) Base Rate Loans and Letter of Credit Loans. If such Loan is either a Revolving Loan or a Letter of Credit Loan which, in each case, bears interest at the Base Rate, a rate per annum equal at all times to the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin, payable on (A) each Quarterly Date while such Base Rate Loan is outstanding or (a) the last day of each month during which such Letter of Credit Loan is outstanding, and in each case, on the date such Base Rate Loan or Letter of Credit Loan shall be paid in full.

(ii) SOFR Loans. If such Loan is a SOFR Loan, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Loan to the sum of the Adjusted Term SOFR for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin, payable on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three (3) months, at three- (3) month intervals following the first day of such Interest Period.

(iii) EURIBOR Loans. If such Loan is a EURIBOR Loan, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Loan to the sum of the applicable EURIBOR for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin, payable on the last day of such Interest Period

and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three (3) months, at three- (3) month intervals following the first day of such Interest Period.

(b) Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Section 7.01(a) or Section 7.01(e) that has not been waived, the Administrative Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, require the Borrowers to pay to the fullest extent permitted by law interest (“Default Interest”) on all outstanding Obligations at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans plus two percentage points (2%) per annum; provided, however, that following the acceleration of the Loans and other Obligations pursuant to Section 7.01, Default Interest shall accrue and be payable hereunder whether or not previously required by the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.07. ~~Section 2.07.~~ Interest Rate Determinations.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to ~~Livent~~Arcadium and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of Section 2.06(a)(i), (ii) and (iii).

(b) (i) Subject to Section 2.16, if prior to 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on any date on which an interest rate is to be determined pursuant to the definition of Adjusted Term SOFR, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Adjusted Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, or the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and each Lender of such circumstances. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers, any right of the Borrowers to select SOFR Loans for any requested Revolving Loan Borrowing or any subsequent Revolving Loan Borrowing shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 9.04(c). Subject to Section 2.16, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination.

(c) (ii) If prior to 10:00 A.M. on any date on which an interest rate is to be determined pursuant to the definition of “EURIBOR”, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding on each Borrower) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining EURIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed EURIBOR Loan, or (6) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders in respect of the relevant facility that EURIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed EURIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such EURIBOR Loan for such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify ~~Livent~~Arcadium and each Lender of such circumstances, whereupon the right of ~~Livent~~Arcadium to select EURIBOR Loans for any requested Borrowing (or for the purposes of Section 2.12, any requested Conversion or Continuance) or any subsequent Borrowing (or for the purposes of Section 2.12, any subsequent Conversion or Continuance) shall be suspended until the first date on which the circumstances causing such suspension cease to exist. If ~~Livent~~Arcadium shall not, in turn, before 11:00 A.M. on such date notify the Administrative Agent that a Notice of Borrowing with respect to such XXXXXXX shall be converted to a

Notice of Borrowing for a Base Rate Loan, such Notice of Borrowing shall be deemed to be canceled and of no force or effect, and no Borrower shall be liable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect thereto except as set forth in Section 3.01(c). Any outstanding affected EURIBOR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans (in an amount that is then equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such EURIBOR Loans) at the end of the applicable Interest Period. In the event of such a suspension, the Administrative Agent shall review the circumstances giving rise to such suspension at least weekly and shall notify ~~Livent~~Arcadium and the Lenders promptly of the end of such suspension, and thereafter ~~Livent~~Arcadium shall be entitled, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to borrow EURIBOR Loans.

Section 2.08. ~~Section 2.08.~~ Prepayments.

(a) The Borrowers shall have no right to prepay any principal amount of any Revolving Loan other than as provided in subsection (b) below.

(b) Each Borrower may without premium or penalty, upon (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, same day notice, (ii) in the case of EURIBOR Loans, at least two Business Day prior notice and (iii) in the case of SOFR Loans, two U.S. Governmental Securities Business Days’ prior notice with respect to any Revolving Loan of the same Type given to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given, such Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amounts of the Loans made to such Borrower comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (i) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than $1 million or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or the Foreign Currency Equivalent of such respective amounts in the case of Loans denominated in an Alternate Currency) and (7) if any prepayment of any SOFR Loans or any EURIBOR Loans shall be made on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period for such Loans, such Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing to each Lender pursuant to Section 9.04(c) so long as such Xxxxxx makes written demand upon such Borrower therefor (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent) within twenty (20) Business Days after such prepayment.

Section 2.09. ~~Section 2.09.~~ Payments and Computations.

(a) All payments of principal of and interest on each Loan in a particular Currency shall be made in such Currency.

(in the case of amounts payable in Dollars) or 11:00 A.M. Local Time in the location of the Administrative Agent’s Account (in the case of amounts payable in an Alternate Currency), on the day when due.

(ii) The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10 or 3.03 or as contemplated by Section 2.03(c) or 2.13) to the Lenders entitled thereto 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.

(iii) Upon its acceptance of an Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(d), from and after the effective date

specified in such Acceptance the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned or assumed thereby to the Lender assignee or New Lender thereunder (as the case may be). The parties to each Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

(c) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate (other than if the Base Rate is computed on the basis of the Federal Funds Rate) and of commitment fees and letter of credit commission 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 Term SOFR, EURIBOR or the Base Rate based on 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 or fees are payable. All interest hereunder on any Loan shall be computed on a daily basis based upon the outstanding principal amount of such Loan as of the applicable date of determination. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest, commitment fees or, letter of credit commission, as the case may be; provided, however, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of SOFR Loans or EURIBOR Loans to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day or Business Days, as applicable.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Xxxxxxxx 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 relevant Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that such Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such 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 Federal Funds Rate.

(f) Anything in Section 2.05 or 2.06 to the contrary notwithstanding, and without prejudice to Section 2.06(b) or 7.01(a), if any Borrower shall fail to pay any principal or interest denominated in an Alternate Currency within one (1) Business Day after the due date therefor in the case of principal and three (3) Business Days after the due date therefor in the case of interest (without giving effect to any acceleration of maturity under Article VII (Events of Default)), the amount so in default shall automatically be redenominated in Dollars on the day one (1) Business Day after the due date therefor in the case of a principal payment and three (3) Business Days after the due date therefor in the case of an interest payment in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such principal or interest.

(g) If any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments in respect of the Obligations subject to this Section 2.09 due to it from and for the benefit of the Borrowers to the Non-Defaulting Lenders for application to, and reduction of, the Non-Defaulting Lenders’ ratable portion of all Obligations until such Non-Defaulting Lenders have been repaid in full. Each Defaulting Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to distribute such payments in accordance with Section 2.13(a)(iii). This Section 2.09(g) shall (i) apply at any time such Lender is a Defaulting Lender and be effective regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing and notwithstanding (a) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or (b) any instruction of any Borrower as to its desired application of payments and (8) not be deemed to relieve or

otherwise release any Borrower from any of its Obligations due or owing to any Lender, including a Defaulting Lender.

(h) In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR or EURIBOR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR or EURIBOR.

Section 2.10. ~~Section 2.10.~~ Taxes.

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.10, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “Requirement of Law” includes FATCA.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Requirement of Law. If any Requirement of 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 any Requirement of Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Loan Parties shall be increased as necessary (or, in relation to Australian withholding tax, the Loan Parties shall pay an additional amount) so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.10) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

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

(d) Indemnification by Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 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 2.10) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient 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 as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Loan Parties 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.

(e) 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 Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Xxxxxx’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.07(f) 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 clause (e).

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrowers to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.10, the Borrowers 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.

(g) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to ~~Livent~~Arcadium and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by ~~Livent~~Arcadium or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by ~~Livent~~Arcadium 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 ~~Livent~~Arcadium or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by the applicable Requirements of Law or reasonably requested by ~~Livent~~Arcadium or the Administrative Agent as will enable ~~Livent~~Arcadium 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 clauses (g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) of this Section 2.10) 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.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to ~~Livent~~Arcadium and the Administrative Agent on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of ~~Livent~~Arcadium 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 ~~Livent~~Arcadium and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of ~~Livent~~Arcadium 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 B-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 either Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrowers 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, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 or Exhibit B-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 B-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 ~~Livent~~Arcadium and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of ~~Livent~~Arcadium or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by the applicable Requirements of 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 the applicable Requirements of Law to permit ~~Livent~~Arcadium 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 ~~Livent~~Arcadium and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by ~~Livent~~Arcadium or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by the applicable Requirements of Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by ~~Livent~~Arcadium or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for ~~Livent~~Arcadium and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Xxxxxx has complied with such Xxxxxx’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 ~~Livent~~Arcadium and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(E) Each party which becomes a Lender on the day on which this Agreement is entered into confirms that, on such date, it is an Irish Qualifying Lender (other than an Irish Treaty Lender), unless it notifies Arcadium and the Administrative Agent in writing that it is not an Irish Qualifying Lender or is an Irish Treaty Lender. Each party which becomes a Lender after the date of this Agreement shall indicate, in the Assignment and Acceptance which it executes on becoming a Lender and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and without liability to any Borrower, which of the following categories it falls in: (a) an Irish Qualifying Lender (other than an Irish Treaty Lender); (b) an Irish Treaty Lender or (c) not an Irish Qualifying Lender. If a Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this clause, then such Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by the relevant Borrowers) as if it is not an Irish Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies Arcadium and the Administrative Agent which category applies. An Assignment and Acceptance shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with this clause. A Lender shall promptly notify Arcadium and the Administrative Agent if it ceases to be an Irish Qualifying Lender.

(F) Following a request from a Borrower, the relevant Lender shall provide to the relevant Borrower any correct, complete and accurate information available to the Lender necessary for the relevant Borrower to comply with its obligations under sections 891A, 891E, 891F and 891G of the Irish Taxes Act.

(h) 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 2.10 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10), 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 2.10 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 clause (h) (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 clause (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (h) 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 Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This clause (h) 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.

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 2.11. ~~Section 2.11.~~ Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Revolving Loans or the Letter of Credit Loans made by it (other than as expressly provided herein) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Revolving Loans or the Letter of Credit Loans obtained by all such Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from such other Lenders such participations in the Revolving Loans or the Letter of Credit Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them, provided, however, that, if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the

purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Xxxxxx’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Xxxxxx’s required repayment to (9) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.11 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.12. ~~Section 2.12.~~ Conversion or Continuation of Revolving Loans.

(a) Each Borrower may elect (i) at any time on any Business Day to Convert Base Rate Loans or any portion thereof to SOFR Loans or (10) at the end of any applicable Interest Period, to Convert SOFR Loans or any portion thereof into Base Rate Loans or to Continue SOFR Loans or EURIBOR Loans or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the SOFR Loans Converted or SOFR Loans or EURIBOR Loans Continued for each Interest Period must be in the amount of at least $5 million or an integral multiple of $1 million in excess thereof. Each Conversion or Continuation shall be allocated among the Revolving Loans of each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s pro rata share. Subject to clause (b) below, each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit B-2 (Form of Notice of Conversion or Continuation) (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) and shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent (a) in the case of a Continuation or Conversion into SOFR Loans, at least three U.S Government Securities Business Days’ prior written notice, (B) in the case of a Continuation of EURIBOR Loans, at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice, and (C) in the case of a Conversion into Base Rate Loans, at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice, in each case, specifying (i) the amount and Type of Revolving Loan being Converted or Continued, (ii) in the case of a Conversion to SOFR Loans or a Continuation of SOFR Loans or EURIBOR Loans, the applicable Interest Period and (iii) in the case of a Conversion, the date of Conversion (which date shall be a Business Day and, if a Conversion from SOFR Loans, shall also be the last day of the applicable Interest Period).

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation and of the options selected therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, and no Continuation in whole or in part of SOFR Loans or EURIBOR Loans upon the expiration of any applicable Interest Period, shall be permitted at any time at which (i) a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (11) the Continuation of a SOFR Loan or a EURIBOR Loan, or Conversion into, a SOFR Loan would violate any provision of Section 2.07, 3.03 or 3.04. If, within the time period required under the terms of this Section 2.12, the Administrative Agent does not receive a Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the applicable Borrower containing a permitted election to Continue any SOFR Loans or EURIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period or to Convert any such Revolving Loans, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, such Revolving Loans, if denominated in Dollars, shall be automatically Converted to Base Rate Loans and such Revolving Loans, if denominated in Euros, shall be automatically Continued as EURIBOR Loans with an interest period of one (1) month (or if consented by all Lenders, seven (7) days). Each Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each SOFR Loan and each EURIBOR Loan shall, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, be automatically Converted to a Base Rate Loan.

Section 2.13. ~~Section 2.13.~~ Defaulting Lender.

(a) Reallocation of Defaulting Lender Commitments. If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply:

(i) in the case of each Defaulting Lender, the ratable portion of such Defaulting Lender with respect to any such outstanding Obligations will, subject to the limitation in the first

proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the date such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ respective Commitments; provided, that (A) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s ratable portion of the Total Outstandings may not in any event exceed the Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (a) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender, or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, any such reallocation shall only be permitted to the extent that the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(a)(i) and Section 4.02(a)(ii) have been satisfied at the time of such reallocation.

(ii) in the case of each Defaulting Lender, to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the ratable portion of such Defaulting Lender with respect to any such outstanding and future Letter of Credit Obligations cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the first proviso in clause (i) above or otherwise, the Borrowers will (on a joint and several basis), not later than five (5) Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Issuing Banks), (A) Cash Collateralize (pursuant to procedures similar to those detailed in Section 7.02 and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) the Obligations of the Borrowers to the Issuing Banks in respect of such Obligations or (b) make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and to the Issuing Banks, in their reasonable discretion, to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender; and

(iii) in the case of each Defaulting Lender, any amount paid by any Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated, non-interest bearing account until (subject to Section 2.03(c)) the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all the Obligations and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank (pro rata as to the respective amounts owing to any Issuing Bank) under this Agreement, third to the payment of post-default interest and then current interest due and payable to the Lenders hereunder other than Defaulting Lenders as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement as determined in any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Banks against such Defaulting Lender, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them, fourth to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder as a result of such Defaulting Xxxxxx’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement as determined in any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Banks against such Defaulting Lender, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them, fifth to pay principal and Reimbursement Obligations in respect of the Letters of Credit at such time then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to them, sixth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement as determined in any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Banks against such Defaulting Lender, seventh after the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all the Obligations, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(b) Cash Collateral Call. If any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, if any Letter of Credit is at the time outstanding, the Issuing Banks may (except, in the

case of a Defaulting Lender, to the extent the Commitments have been fully reallocated pursuant to Section 2.13(a)), by notice to Livent and such Defaulting Lender through the Administrative Agent, require any Borrower (i) to deposit in a cash collateral account maintained by the Administrative Agent an amount at least equal to 105% of the aggregate amount of the unreallocated obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender to be applied pro rata in respect thereof, or (12) to make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and to the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender.

(c) Right to Give Drawdown Notices. In furtherance of the foregoing, if any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, and the applicable Borrower fails to Cash Collateralize (pursuant to procedures similar to those detailed in Section 7.02 and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) or prepay its obligations in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations within five (5) Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.13, any Issuing Bank is hereby authorized by the Borrowers (which authorization is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to give, in its discretion, through the Administrative Agent, Notices of Borrowing pursuant to Section 3.01 in such amounts and in such times as may be required to (i) pay matured Reimbursement Obligations and/or (13) Cash Collateralize (pursuant to procedures similar to those detailed in Section 7.02 and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) the Obligations of the applicable Borrower in respect of Letters of Credit Obligations in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit.

(d) Termination of Defaulting Lender Commitments. ~~Livent~~Arcadium may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (who will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.09 will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by any Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided, that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

(e) Cure. If ~~Livent~~Arcadium, Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks, as applicable, agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.13(a)), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase such portion of outstanding Loans (including the purchase at par of any Revolving Loans and related Commitments that were reallocated pursuant to Section 2.13(a)) of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause such Xxxxxx’s ratable portion to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitment, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will become a Non-Defaulting Lender; provided, that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Xxxxxx having been a Defaulting Lender.

(f) Non-Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the occurrence of any Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such Loan or payment on any date required under this Agreement and no other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Defaulting Lender to make any Loan or payment required under this Agreement.

Section 2.14. ~~Section 2.14.~~ Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other

agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

Section 2.15. ~~Section 2.15.~~ Joint and Several Liability of the Borrowers.

(a) Each of the Borrowers is accepting joint and several liability with respect to the Loans and all other Secured Obligations in consideration of the financial accommodation to be provided by the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Borrowers and in consideration of the undertakings of each of the Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the obligations of each of them, regardless of which Borrower actually receives the benefit of such Loan or other Secured Obligations or the manner in which the Lenders account for such Loans or other Secured Obligations on their books and records. Each Borrower’s obligations with respect to the Loans made to it, and each Borrower’s obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of such Borrower hereunder, with respect to the Loans of the other Borrower hereunder, shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such obligations shall be primary obligations of each Borrower.

(b) Each Borrower’s obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of such Borrower hereunder with respect to the Secured Obligations in respect of the other Borrower hereunder shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity or enforceability or subordination of such Secured Obligations of the other Borrower, (14) the absence of any attempt to collect such Secured Obligations from the other Borrower, any other guarantor, or any other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (15) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect to such Secured Obligations of the other Borrower, or any part thereof, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by the other Borrower and delivered to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, (16) the failure by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to take any steps to perfect and maintain their security interest in, or to preserve their rights to, any security or collateral for such Secured Obligations of the other Borrower or (17) any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or of the other Borrower (other than the occurrence of the Termination Date and the irrevocable payment in full of the Secured Obligations). With respect to each Borrower’s obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of such Borrower hereunder with respect to the Loans and other Secured Obligations of the other Borrower hereunder, such Borrower waives, until the Termination Date and the irrevocable payment in full of the Secured Obligations, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which the Administrative Agent or any Lender now has or may hereafter have against such Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of such Secured Obligations, and any benefit of,

and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to secure payment of such Secured Obligations or any other liability of the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Lenders may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against either Borrower to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of, the Secured Obligations, without first proceeding against the other Borrower or any other Person, or against any security or collateral for such Secured Obligations. Each Borrower consents and agrees that the Lenders shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Borrower or against or in payment of any or all of such Secured Obligations.

Section 2.16. ~~Section 2.16.~~ Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to any Benchmark, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Agreement to replace such Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Xxxxxxx and the Borrowers so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.16(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrowers of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.16(d) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any notice required to be delivered by the Administrative Agent as set forth in this Section 2.16 may be provided, at the option of the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion), in one or more notices and may be delivered together with, or as part of any amendment which implements any Benchmark Replacement or Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.16, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.16.

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate or EURIBOR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Xxxxxxxxx has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is

not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor

(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrowers’ receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a SOFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans, or a EURIBOR Borrowing of, or continuation of EURIBOR Loans, in each case, to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period denominated in the applicable Currency and, failing that, (A) in the case of any request for any affected SOFR Loan, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans and (B) in the case of any request for any affected EURIBOR Loan, if applicable, then such request shall be ineffective and shall, at the Borrowers’ election, (I) be converted into Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount that is then equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such EURIBOR Loans) at the end of the applicable Interest Period or (II) be prepaid in full at the end of the applicable Interest Period; provided that, with respect to any EURIBOR Loan, if no election is made by the Borrowers by the earlier of (x) that date this is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrowers of such notice and (y) the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable EURIBOR Loan, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected clause (I) above. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 9.04(c). During a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to any Benchmark or at any time that a tenor for any then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark that is the subject of such Benchmark Unavailability Period or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate. During such Benchmark Unavailability Period, any outstanding SOFR Loans or EURIBOR Loans, as applicable, shall be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans (in the case of such EURIBOR Loans, in an amount that is then equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such EURIBOR Loans) at the end of the applicable Interest Period.

(f) Disclaimer. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR or EURIBOR, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR, EURIBOR or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, EURIBOR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, EURIBOR or any other Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrowers, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law

or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

MAKING THE LOANS AND ISSUING THE LETTERS OF CREDIT

Section 3.01. ~~Section 3.01.~~ Making the Revolving Loans.

(a) Each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than (i) 11:00 A.M. on the third Business Day prior to the date of a EURIBOR Loan Borrowing, (ii) 11:00 A.M. on the third U.S. Government Securities Business Day prior to the date of a SOFR Loan Borrowing, and (iii) 11:00 A.M. on the day of a Base Rate Loan Borrowing, by ~~Livent~~Arcadium to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof by telecopier. Each notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be made in writing by telecopier or electronic mail in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto, specifying therein the requested (a) date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (b) Currency and Type of Revolving Loan comprising such Borrowing, (c) aggregate amount of such Borrowing, (d) in the case of a Borrowing comprised of SOFR Loans or EURIBOR Loans, the Interest Period for each such Revolving Loan; provided that if no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested SOFR Loan or EURIBOR Loan, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration, ~~and~~ and (e) the name of the applicable Borrower. Each Lender shall (i) before 11:00 A.M. Local Time on the date of such Borrowing (in the case of a either a SOFR Loan Borrowing or a EURIBOR Loan Borrowing) and (ii) before 1:00 P.M. on the date of such Borrowing (in the case of a Base Rate Loan Borrowing), make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account for the relevant Currency in same day funds, such Xxxxxx’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV (Conditions), the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the relevant Borrower in such manner as the Administrative Agent and such Borrower may agree; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall first make a portion of such funds equal to the aggregate principal amount of any Letter of Credit Loans as to which a Borrower has received timely notice made by the Issuing Banks and by any other Lender and outstanding on the date of such Borrowing, plus interest accrued and unpaid thereon to and as of such date, available to the relevant Issuing Banks and such other Lenders for repayment of such Letter of Credit Loans.

(b) Anything in clause (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, a Borrower may not select SOFR Loans or EURIBOR Loans for any Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less than $1 million or the Foreign Currency Equivalent thereof.

(c) Subject to Sections ~~2.07(b)~~2.07(a) and 3.04, each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers. In the case of any Borrowing by a Borrower which the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of SOFR Loans or EURIBOR Loans, such Borrower shall indemnify each relevant Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV (Conditions), including any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Revolving Loan, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the time any Borrowing is required to be made that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Xxxxxx’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 clause (a) of this Section 3.01 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant 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 relevant 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 such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to Revolving Loans comprising such Borrowing and (18) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate, provided, that such Borrower retains its rights against such Lender with respect to any damages it may incur as a result of such Xxxxxx’s failure to fund, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall such Borrower be liable to such Lender or any other Person for the interest payable by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this sentence. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) The failure of any Lender to make the Revolving Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Revolving Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Revolving Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

Section 3.02. ~~Section~~ ~~3.02.~~ Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a) No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from Issuing such Letter of Credit or any Requirement of Law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the Issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the date of this Agreement or that would result in any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable, in effect or known to such Issuing Bank as of the date of this Agreement and that such Issuing Bank in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it;

(ii) such Issuing Bank shall have received any written notice of the type described in clause (c) below;

(iii) after giving effect to the Issuance of such Letter of Credit, (A) the aggregate Total Outstandings would exceed the aggregate of the Commitments in effect at such time, (a) the Letter of Credit Obligations at such time would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit or (b) the aggregate of all liabilities of the Borrowers to such Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit would exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment of such Issuing Bank;

(iv) any fees due in connection with any Issuance have not been paid;

(v) such Letter of Credit is requested to be Issued in a form that is not acceptable to such Issuing Bank or such issuance would violate any policies of the Issuing Bank applicable to Letters of Credit, including, without limitation, any “know your client” or similar requirements;

(vi) such Letter of Credit is a Documentary Letter of Credit unless such Issuing Bank has agreed in its sole discretion to provide Documentary Letters of Credit; or

(vii) such Letter of Credit is requested to be denominated in any currency other than Dollars or Euros.

None of the Lenders (other than the Issuing Banks in their capacity as such) shall have any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit.

(b) In connection with the Issuance of each Letter of Credit, a Borrower shall give the relevant Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice, in form and substance acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, of the requested Issuance of such Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Request”). Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the Issuing Bank of such Letter of Credit, the Currency of Issuance (Dollars or Euros) and face amount of the Letter of Credit requested, the date of Issuance of such requested Letter of Credit, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which date shall be a Business Day) and the Person for whose benefit the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued. Such notice, to be effective, must be received by the relevant Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. on the second Business Day prior to the date of the requested Issuance of such Letter of Credit.

(c) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 3.02 and in Section 2.02 (including, for certainty, the completion of any “know your client” or similar requirements), the relevant Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, Issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower in accordance with such Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices. No Issuing Bank shall Issue any Letter of Credit in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from any Lender that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 4.02 shall not on such date be satisfied or duly waived and ending when such conditions are satisfied or duly waived. The relevant Issuing Bank shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit.

(d) If requested by the relevant Issuing Bank, prior to the issuance of each Letter of Credit by such Issuing Bank, and as a condition of such Issuance and of the participation of each Lender in the Letter of Credit Obligations arising with respect thereto in accordance with clause (f) below, the applicable Borrower shall have delivered to such Issuing Bank a letter of credit reimbursement agreement, in such form as the Issuing Bank may employ in its ordinary course of business for its own account (a “Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement”), signed by such Xxxxxxxx, and such other documents or items as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

(e) Each Issuing Bank shall:

(i) give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, which writing may be a telecopy or electronic mail) of the Issuance of a Letter of Credit Issued by it, of all drawings under a Letter of Credit Issued by it and the payment (or the failure to pay when due) by the applicable Borrower of any Reimbursement Obligation when due;

(ii) upon the request of any Lender, furnish to such Lender, copies of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement to which such Issuing Bank is a party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Xxxxxx; and

(iii) no later than ten (10) Business Days following the last day of each calendar month, provide to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy to each Lender requesting the same) and ~~Livent~~Arcadium separate schedules for Documentary Letters of Credit and Standby Letters of Credit issued by it under the Letter of Credit Sub-Facility, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting forth the

aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding at the end of each month and any information requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent relating thereto.

(f) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Xxxxxx’s pro rata share of the Commitments, in such Letter of Credit and the obligations of the applicable Borrower with respect thereto (including all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto) and any security therefor and guaranty pertaining thereto.

(g) Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit issued for its account no later than the date that is the next succeeding Business Day after such Xxxxxxxx receives written notice from such Issuing Bank that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit (the “Reimbursement Date”), irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that such Borrower may have at any time against such Issuing Bank or any other Person.

(h) In the event that any Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the applicable Borrower shall not have repaid the Dollar Equivalent of such amount to such Issuing Bank pursuant to clause (g) or any such payment by such Borrower is rescinded or set aside for any reason, such Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on demand with interest thereon computed (i) from the date on which such Reimbursement Obligation arose to the Reimbursement Date, at the rate of interest applicable during such period to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (19) from the Reimbursement Date until the date of repayment in full, at the rate of interest applicable during such period to past due Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Lender of such failure, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank the amount of such Xxxxxx’s pro rata share of such payment in Dollars (based upon the Dollar Equivalent of such amount on the date of such payment) and in immediately available funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies such Lender prior to 11:00 A.M. on any Business Day, such Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank its pro rata share of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in immediately available funds. Upon such payment by a Lender, such Lender shall, except during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default under Section 7.01(e) and notwithstanding whether or not the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 shall have been satisfied (which conditions precedent the Lenders hereby irrevocably waive), be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to applicable Borrower in the principal amount of such payment. Whenever any Issuing Bank receives from any Borrower a payment of a Reimbursement Obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Issuing Bank any payment from a Lender pursuant to this clause (h), such Issuing Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s pro rata share of the amount of such payment adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the respective amounts the Lenders have paid in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation.

(i) If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made its pro rata share of the amount of the payment required by clause (h) above, as applicable, available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Xxxxxx agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank forthwith on demand any such unpaid amount together with interest thereon, for the first Business Day after payment was first due at the Federal Funds Rate and, thereafter until such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Facility.

(j) Each Borrower’s obligation to pay each Reimbursement Obligation and the obligations of the Lenders to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Banks with

respect to Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, and irrespective of any of the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;

(iii) the existence of any claim, set off, defense or other right that such Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, such Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

(iv) any drawing or document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(v) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a drawing or document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuing Bank, the other Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 3.02 or Section 2.02, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of such Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment, shall not put such Issuing Bank under any resulting liability to the applicable Borrower or any Lender. In determining whether drawings and documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof, the Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may rely exclusively on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any drawing presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such drawing and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever and any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment, of the Issuing Bank.

Section 3.03. ~~Section 3.03.~~ Increased Costs.

(a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation, in each case after the date hereof or (20) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) which implements any introduction or change specified in clause (i) above, there shall be (x) any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining SOFR Loans or EURIBOR Loans or (y) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, or (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including, without limitation, any emergency, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) for such Lender with respect to liabilities or assets which are Eurocurrency Liabilities), other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, then the Borrowers (on a joint and several basis) shall from time to time, within ten (10) Business Days after written 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 incurred during the six (6) month period prior to the date of such demand. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to ~~Livent~~Arcadium and the Administrative Agent by such Xxxxxx and showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, shall be prima facie evidence of such costs.

(b) If any Lender determines that compliance with (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law or regulation, in each case after the date hereof, or (21) any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) which implements any introduction or change specified in clause (i) above, 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 Xxxxxx’s commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder and other commitments of this type, then, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand by such Xxxxxx (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers (on a joint and several basis) shall from time to time pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation in the light of such circumstances for such increase in capital or liquidity incurred during the six (6) month period prior to the date of such demand, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital or liquidity to be allocable to the existence of such Xxxxxx’s commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to ~~Livent~~Arcadium and the Administrative Agent by such Xxxxxx and showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof shall be prima facie evidence of such costs.

(c) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided, that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies ~~Livent~~Arcadium of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Xxxxxx’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six (6) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(d) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, the Borrowers shall, on a joint and several basis, pay to each Lender on the last day of each Interest Period so long as such Lender is maintaining reserves against Eurocurrency Liabilities (or so long as such Lender is maintaining reserves against any other category of liabilities that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on EURIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or against any category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes any EURIBOR Loans) an additional amount (determined by such

Xxxxxx and notified to ~~Livent~~Arcadium through the Administrative Agent) equal to the product of the following for each EURIBOR Loan for each day during such Interest Period:

(i) the principal amount of such EURIBOR Loan outstanding on such day; and

(ii) the remainder of (A) a fraction the numerator of which is the rate (expressed as a decimal) at which interest accrues on such EURIBOR Loan for such Interest Period as provided in this Agreement (less the Applicable Margin) and the denominator of which is one minus the EURIBOR Reserve Percentage in effect on such day minus (a) such numerator; and

then, and in any such event, the Administrative Agent (i) shall at the request, or may with the express consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to ~~Livent~~Arcadium, declare the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate, and (ii) shall at the request, or may with the express consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to ~~Livent~~Arcadium, declare the Loans and other Obligations to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Loans and other Obligations shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Borrower; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(e), (A) the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and of each Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit shall automatically be terminated and (B) the Loans and other Obligations shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Borrower.

The Australian Security Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default unless the Australian Security Trustee has received notice from a Lender or any Borrower which has specified the same.

Section 7.02. ~~Section 7.02.~~ Actions in Respect of the Letters of Credit Upon Event of Default; L/C Cash Collateral Account; Investing of Amounts in the L/C Cash Collateral Account; Release.

(a) 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 7.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Loans due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.01, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, irrespective of whether it is taking any of the actions described in Section 7.01 or otherwise, make demand upon any Borrower to, and forthwith upon such demand such Borrower will, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in same day funds at the Administrative Agent’s office designated in such demand, for deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account, an amount equal to the aggregate Available LC Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding in the Currency of such Letters of Credit; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of

109

any Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(e), such payments by any Borrower pursuant to this Section 7.02(a) shall automatically be required to be made. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account are subject to any equal or prior right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Available LC Amount of all Letters of Credit, any Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account, an amount equal to the excess of (a) such aggregate Available LC Amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such equal or prior right and claim.

(b) The Borrowers hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to open at any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default a non-interest bearing account with the Administrative Agent at its address designated in Section 9.02 in the name of the any Borrower but in connection with which the Administrative Agent shall be the sole entitlement holder or customer (the “L/C Cash Collateral Account”), and hereby pledges and assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders a security interest in the following collateral (the “L/C Cash Collateral Account Collateral”):

(i) the L/C Cash Collateral Account, all funds held therein and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing the investment of funds held therein,

(ii) all L/C Cash Collateral Account Investments from time to time, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing the L/C Cash Collateral Account Investments,

(iii) all notes, certificates of deposit, deposit accounts, checks and other instruments from time to time delivered to or otherwise possessed by the Administrative Agent for or on behalf of any Borrower in substitution for or in addition to any or all of the then existing L/C Cash Collateral Account Collateral,

(iv) all interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the then existing L/C Cash Collateral Account Collateral, and

(v) all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing L/C Cash Collateral Account Collateral.

(c) If requested by any Borrower, the Administrative Agent will, subject to the provisions of clause (e) below, from time to time (i) invest amounts on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account in such notes, certificates of deposit and other debt instruments as such Borrower may select and the Administrative Agent may approve and (28) invest interest paid on the notes, certificates of deposit and other instruments referred to in clause (i) above, and reinvest other proceeds of any such notes, certificates of deposit and other instruments which may mature or be sold, in each case in such notes, certificates of deposit and other debt instruments any Borrower may select and the Administrative Agent may approve (the notes, certificates of deposit and other instruments referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above being collectively “L/C Cash Collateral Account Investments”). Interest and proceeds that are not invested or reinvested in L/C Cash Collateral Account Investments as provided above shall be deposited and held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account.

(d) Upon such time as (i) the aggregate Available LC Amount of all Letters of Credit is reduced to zero and such Letters of Credit are expired with no pending drawings or terminated by their terms and all amounts payable in respect thereof, including but not limited to principal, interest,

110

commissions, fees and expenses, have been paid in full in cash, and (29) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent will pay and release to the applicable Borrower or at its order (a) accrued interest due and payable on the L/C Cash Collateral Account Investments and in the L/C Cash Collateral Account, and (b) the balance remaining in the L/C Cash Collateral Account after the application, if any, by the Administrative Agent of funds in the L/C Cash Collateral Account to the payment of amounts described in clause (i) of this subsection (d).

(e) (i) The Administrative Agent may, without notice to any Borrower or any other Person except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the L/C Cash Collateral Account against the obligations of the Borrowers in respect of Letters of Credit (collectively, the “L/C Cash Collateral Account Obligations”) or any part thereof. The Administrative Agent agrees to notify ~~Livent~~Arcadium promptly after any such set-off and application, provided, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

(ii) The Administrative Agent may also exercise in respect of the L/C Cash Collateral Account Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York at that time (the “UCC”) (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected L/C Cash Collateral Account Collateral), and may also, without notice except as specified below, sell the L/C Cash Collateral Account Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to ~~Livent~~Arcadium of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of L/C Cash Collateral Account Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

(iii) Any cash held by the Administrative Agent as L/C Cash Collateral Account Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the L/C Cash Collateral Account Collateral may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter be applied in whole or in part by the Administrative Agent against, all or any part of the L/C Cash Collateral Account Obligations in such order as the Administrative Agent shall elect. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Administrative Agent and remaining after payment in full of all the L/C Cash Collateral Account Obligations shall be paid over to the applicable Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

(f) Upon the permanent reduction from time to time of the aggregate Available LC Amount of all Letters of Credit in accordance with the terms thereof, the Administrative Agent shall release to the applicable Borrower amounts from the L/C Cash Collateral Account in an amount equal to each such permanent reduction; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to reduce the funds or other L/C Cash Collateral Account Collateral then held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account below that level that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines is required to be maintained after taking into consideration any rights or claims of any Persons other than the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

(g) In furtherance of the grant of the pledge and security interest pursuant to this Section 7.02, each Borrower hereby agrees with each Lender and the Administrative Agent that each Borrower shall give, execute, deliver, file and/or record any financing statement, notice, instrument,

111

document, agreement or other papers that may be necessary or desirable (in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent) to create, preserve, perfect or validate the security interest granted pursuant hereto or to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights hereunder with respect to such pledge and security interests.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 8.01. ~~Section 8.01.~~ Authorization and Action. Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including enforcement or collection of the Notes), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Notes; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law; provided, further, that the Australian Security Trustee may refrain without liability from taking any action that would or might in its opinion be contrary to any law of any state or jurisdiction (including but not limited to the State of New York and Hong Kong, the United States of America or any jurisdiction forming a part of it and England & Wales) or any directive or regulation of any agency of any such state or jurisdiction and may without liability do anything which is, in its opinion, necessary to comply with any such law, directive or regulation.

Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Administrative Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by the Lender which is the payee of such Note, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee, as provided in Section 9.07; (30) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (31) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement; (32) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of any Borrower or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Borrower; (33) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (34) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier, telegram, cable or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

(b) The Arrangers each referred to on the cover page hereto, shall have no duties or obligations whatsoever to the Lenders under or with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or any other document or any matter related thereto.

112

Section 8.03. ~~Section 8.03.~~ The Administrative Agent and their Affiliates as Lenders. With respect to its respective Commitment as a Lender, the Loans made by it as a Lender, the Letters of Credit issued by it as an Issuing Bank and the Notes issued to it as a Lender, the Administrative Agent as Lender and/or Issuing Bank shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender in its capacity as a Lender and/or any other Issuing Bank in its capacity as Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender and/or an Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity as a Lender and/or an Issuing Bank, and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Borrower, any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any Person who may do business with or own securities of any Borrower or any such Restricted Subsidiary, all as if the Administrative Agent was not the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.

Section 8.05. ~~Section 8.05.~~ Indemnification. The Lenders severally agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank (in each case to the extent any Borrower fails to pay the same pursuant to Section 9.04(b) or otherwise), ratably according to their respective pro rata share, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by such Person under this Agreement in its respective capacity as an agent hereunder, provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment, of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank. 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 but excluding normal administrative expenses expressly excluded under Section 9.04(a)) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, 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 any Borrower as required under Section 9.04(a).

Section 8.06. ~~Section 8.06.~~ Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and ~~Livent~~Arcadium and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders.

If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Xxxxxxx’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be an Eligible Assignee and a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged

113

from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII (The Administrative Agent) shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

Section 8.07. ~~Section 8.07.~~ No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender hereunder.

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (a) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (b) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of subsections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (c) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Xxxxxx’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(b) In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has not provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (A) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (d) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and its respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers, that: none of the Administrative Agent or any of its respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Xxxxxx’s entrance into,

114

participation in administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

Section 8.09. ~~Section 8.09.~~ Incorrect Payment.

(a) If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 8.09 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds 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 from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

(i) it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the

115

details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.09(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.09(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 8.09(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(c) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).

(d) (i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrowers) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(i) ~~(ii)~~ Subject to Section 9.07 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrowers or otherwise)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Xxxxxx (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x)

116

shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

(e) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender to the rights and interests of such Lender) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that any Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that this Section 8.09(e) shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of any Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.09 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

Section 8.10. Australian Security Trustee

(a) This Section 8.10 (including any non-contractual arrangements arising out of or in connection with it) shall be governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia and applies in relation to any Australian Security Document as set out in this Section 8.10. This Section 8.10 is executed as a deed poll in favor of the Australian Security Trustee and the Secured Parties from time to time.

121

Terms of Loans), III (Making the Loans and Issuing the Letters of Credit) or VIII (The Administrative Agent) shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent.

(b)

Electronic Communications.

(i) Delivery of Communications by the Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees that, unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, it will provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (A) relates to a request for a new, or a Conversion of an existing, Borrowing (including any election of an interest rate or Interest Period relating thereto), (g) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (h) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement, (i) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent in Article IV (Conditions of Lending) relating to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any Borrowing or (j) initiates or responds to legal process (all such non-excluded information being referred to herein collectively as the “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium (provided, that such Communications contain any required signatures) in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to the email address specified in Section 9.02(a) above or such other e-mail address designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time.

(ii) Use of Web Platforms. Each party hereto agrees that the Administrative Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on DebtDomain, IntraLinks, SyndTrak or another similar website, if any, to which each Lender and the Administrative Agent have access (the “Platform”). Nothing in this Section 9.02 shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent to make the Communications available to the Lenders in any other manner specified in this Agreement.

(iii) E-mail Notification to Lenders. Each Lender agrees that e-mail notice to it (at the address provided pursuant to the next sentence and deemed delivered as provided in the next paragraph) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such Communications to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees (A) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission, and (k) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

(iv) Presumption as to Delivery of E-Mail. Each party agrees that any electronic communication referred to in this Section 9.02 shall be deemed delivered upon the posting of a record of such communication as “received” in the e-mail system of the recipient; provided, that if such communication is not so received during normal business hours, such communication shall be deemed delivered at the opening of business on the next Business Day.

(v) Waiver of Responsibility. Each party acknowledges that (A) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (l) the Communications and the Platform are provided “as is” and “as available,” (m) none of the Administrative Agent, its affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (collectively, the “Citigroup Parties”) warrants the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform, and each Citigroup Party expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in any Communications or the Platform, and (n) no warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of

122

third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Citigroup Party in connection with any Communications or the Platform.

(vi) Limitation on use of Platform. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Borrower has any reason to believe that either the confidentiality of the Platform, the confidentiality of electronic transmissions to the Administrative Agent, or the integrity of Communications posted on the Platform has, may have or may in the future be compromised, then ~~Livent~~Arcadium may upon notice to the Administrative Agent delivered in any manner permitted under this Agreement, either (A) suspend their obligation hereunder to transmit Communications to the Administrative Agent by electronic/soft medium, (o) instruct the Administrative Agent not to transmit to the Platform any as yet un-posted Communications, and/or (p) instruct the Administrative Agent to take commercially reasonable steps to remove any currently posted Communications from the Platform. In the event that the use of the Platform should be suspended due to any of the circumstances described in this clause (vi), each Borrower agrees to deliver the Communications to each Lender via e-mail. The Lenders agree that the delivery of the Communications via e-mail shall be deemed effective upon the posting of a record of such electronic transmission as “sent” in the e-mail system of any Borrower. The Administrative Agent agrees to immediately inform ~~Livent~~Arcadium of any security issue or Communications integrity issue that comes to its attention and relates to the Platform or the Administrative Agent’s receipt of electronic Communications.

Section 9.03. ~~Section 9.03.~~ No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Section 9.04. ~~Section 9.04.~~ Costs and Expenses.

(a) Each Borrower agrees to pay, whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, on demand (i) all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the preparation (excluding normal travel and related expenses incurred by the personnel of the Administrative Agent), execution, delivery, syndication, administration (excluding those which are customarily borne by the Administrative Agent), modification and amendment of this Agreement, the Notes and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, and (35) the reasonable fees and expenses of one outside counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the Administrative Agent (and any other counsel retained with each Borrower’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and with respect to advising the Administrative Agent as to its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement. Each Borrower further agrees to pay on demand all reasonable expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including, reasonable counsel (including, without duplication, internal counsel) fees and expenses) in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement, the Notes and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including reasonable counsel fees and expenses in connection with the enforcement of rights under this Section 9.04(a).

(b) Each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of their Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors or any receiver or attorney appointed under a Loan Document (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, penalties, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party in its agent or lending capacity under, or otherwise in connection with, the Loan Documents, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of, or in connection with the preparation for a defense of, any investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of, related to or in connection with the Loan Documents, the proposed or actual use of the proceeds therefrom or any of the other transactions contemplated thereby, whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by a Borrower, its shareholders or creditors or an

123

Indemnified Party or any other person or an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment, of such Indemnified Party or any of its Related Parties, (36) a material breach of such Indemnified Party’s or any of its Related Parties’ obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (37) any dispute solely among Indemnified Parties that does not involve any act or omission by any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries; provided, that, with respect to clause (ii), such clause shall only apply to the Australian Security Trustee to the extent such material breach is as a result of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, that, with respect to clause (iii), each of the Administrative Agent, the Australian Security Trustee and the Issuing Banks shall remain indemnified in their capacities as such. Each Borrower also agrees not to assert any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents or any receiver or attorney appointed under a Loan Document, on any theory of liability, for consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans; provided, that such waiver of consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages shall not limit the indemnification obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 9.04(b). Each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agrees not to assert any claim against any Borrower, their Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents or any receiver or attorney appointed under a Loan Document, on any theory of liability, for consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit. For purposes of this Section 9.04(b), a “Related Party” of an Indemnified Party means (a) any controlling Person, controlled Affiliate or Subsidiary of such Indemnified Party and (b) the respective directors, officers or employees of such Indemnified Party or any of its Subsidiaries, controlled Affiliates or controlling Persons; provided, that each reference to a controlling Person, controlled Affiliate, director, officer or employee in this sentence pertains to a controlling Person, controlled Affiliate, director, officer or employee involved in the preparation of the Loan Documents or the other transactions contemplated thereby. Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Australian Security Trustee shall not be liable under any circumstances for special, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, whether or not foreseeable, or for any loss of business, goodwill, opportunity or profit, whether arising directly or indirectly and whether or not foreseeable, even if the Australian Security Trustee is actually aware of or has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of whether the claim for such loss or damage is made in negligence, for breach of contract, breach of trust, breach of fiduciary obligation or otherwise. The provisions of this Clause shall survive the termination or expiry of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Australian Security Trustee.

(c) If (i) any payment of principal of any SOFR Loan or EURIBOR Loan is made other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, as a result of a payment pursuant to Section 3.03 or acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 7.01 or for any other reason (including as a result of an Event of Default), (38) any Borrower gives notice of a Loan conversion pursuant to Section ~~2.07(b)~~2.07(a), or (39) a SOFR Loan or EURIBOR Loan is assigned other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan as a result of a request of ~~Livent~~Arcadium pursuant to Section 3.06, then the Borrowers 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 any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired (or from any fees payable) by any Lender to fund or maintain such Loan.

(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Borrowers or the Lenders hereunder, the agreements and obligations of any Borrower contained in Sections 2.10, 3.03 and 9.04, and

124

the agreements and obligations of each Lender under Section 9.11, shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes.

Section 9.05. ~~Section 9.05.~~ Rights of Set-off; Payments Set Aside.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default each Lender and each Affiliate of a Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or another Loan Party against any and all of its obligations under the Loan Documents now or hereafter existing whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and even though such Obligations may be unmatured; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.13(a)(iii) and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (40) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify ~~Livent~~Arcadium after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.05 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

(b) To the extent that any Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any such Person exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

Section 9.06. ~~Section 9.06.~~ Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each Borrower and the other Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Loan Party shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each Lender.

Section 9.07. ~~Section 9.07.~~ Assignments and Participations.

(a) Each Lender may assign to one or more banks or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments, the Loans owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that:

(i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement,

(ii) the amount of the Commitments and/or Loans of the assigning Xxxxxx being assigned pursuant to each such assignment other than an assignment to another Lender (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event

125

be less than $5 million and shall be an integral multiple of $1 million in excess thereof, unless, in each case, each Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent,

(iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, and ~~Livent~~Arcadium, the Administrative Agent (in each case, unless such assignment shall be to a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender, a Subsidiary of the assigning Lender, to the bank holding company or a Subsidiary of the bank holding company of which the assigning Lender is a Subsidiary or an Approved Fund) and the Issuing Banks (solely to the extent such assignment relates to Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Loans) shall have consented to such assignment (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, that no consent of ~~Livent~~Arcadium shall be required if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that ~~Livent~~Arcadium shall be deemed to have consented to such assignment unless ~~Livent~~Arcadium objects thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after receiving notice thereof, and

(iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 paid by either the assigning Lender or the assignee; provided, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such recordation fee in the case of any such assignment.

Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (a) the Lender assignor thereunder shall relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein except for the conditions set for in clause (iv) of this Section 9.07(a), any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and ~~Livent~~Arcadium, the option to provide to either Borrower all or any part of a Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that (1) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan, (i) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one (1) year and one (1) day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.07 except for the conditions set forth in clause (iii) of this Section 9.07(a), any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, ~~Livent~~Arcadium and the

126

Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any Eligible Assignee (consented to by each Borrower and the Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. This paragraph may not be amended without the written consent of the SPC.

(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (41) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Borrower or the performance or observance by any Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (42) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 5.03, the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a) and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (43) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (44) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (45) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (46) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(c) Each New Lender shall submit a New Commitment Acceptance in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.04(b) or 2.04(c), as applicable. Upon the execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of a New Commitment Acceptance, from and after the Increase Date or Incremental Term Loan Facility Date, as applicable, related thereto such New Lender shall be a party hereto and have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder having the Commitment specified therein (or such lesser Commitment as shall be allocated to such New Lender in accordance with Section 2.04(b)(vi) or Section 2.04(c)(vi)). By executing and delivering a New Commitment Acceptance, the New Lender thereunder confirms to and agrees with the other parties hereto as follows: (i)such New Lender hereby agrees that no Lender has made any representation or warranty, or assumes any responsibility with respect to, (a) any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or (b) the financial condition of any Borrower or the performance or observance by any Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (47) such New Lender confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 5.03, the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a) and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such New Commitment Acceptance; (48) such New Lender will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (49) such New Lender confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (50) such New Lender appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as

127

are reasonably incidental thereto; and (51) such New Lender agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance and each New Commitment Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and principal and interest amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and each Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Administrative Agent shall provide any Borrower with a copy of the Register upon reasonable request.

(e) (i) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with any Revolving Loan Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit C-1 hereto, (a) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (b) record the information contained therein in the Register and (c) give prompt notice thereof to ~~Livent~~Arcadium. Within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the relevant Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Revolving Loan Note or Notes a new Revolving Loan Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitments and/or Loans assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and a new Revolving Loan Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitments and/or Loans retained by it hereunder. Such new Revolving Loan Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Revolving Loan Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto. Such surrendered Revolving Loan Note or Notes shall be marked “canceled” and shall be returned promptly to ~~Livent~~Arcadium.

(ii) Upon its receipt of a New Commitment Acceptance executed by a New Lender representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such New Commitment Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit C-3 hereto, (A) accept such New Commitment Acceptance, (d) record the information contained therein in the Register and (e) give prompt notice thereof to ~~Livent~~Arcadium. Within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the relevant Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a new Revolving Loan Note to the order of such New Lender in an amount equal to the Commitments assumed by it pursuant to such New Commitment Acceptance. Such new Revolving Loan Note shall be dated the relevant Increase Date and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto.

(f) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than (x) any natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person), (y) any Borrower or any Affiliates of such Borrower or (z) any Defaulting Lender) (a “Participant”) in or to a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including a portion of its Commitments, the Loans owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitments hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (52) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (53) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (54) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (55) except in the case of a participation involving a Lender and one of its Affiliates (and this exception shall apply only so long as the participant remains an Affiliate of such

128

Lender), the parties to each such participation shall execute a participation agreement in substantially the form of the Participation Agreement, and (56) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment to or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would alter the principal of, or interest on, the Loan or Loans in which such participant is participating or any fees or other amounts payable to the Lenders hereunder, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.10 and Section 3.03 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.10, it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.10 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 this Section 9.07(a); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.05 as if it were an assignee under this Section 9.07(f); and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10 or Section 3.03, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal and interest amounts of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations hereunder (the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Loan or other obligation hereunder) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103−1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, 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.

(g) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information, including Confidential Information, relating to the Borrowers furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers; provided, that, prior to any such disclosure of Confidential Information, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and shall agree to (i) preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information relating to the Borrowers received by it from such Lender and (57) be bound by the provisions of Section 9.11.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, an Eligible Assignee shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10 or Section 3.03 than the assigning Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the effective date of such assignment.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time and without the consent of the Administrative Agent or any Borrower create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including the Loans owing to it and the Notes held by it), including in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other central banking authority.

Section 9.08. ~~Section 9.08.~~ No Liability of the Issuing Banks.

Neither any Issuing Bank nor any of their respective officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of

129

documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; x) payment by any Issuing Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or xi) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that each Borrower shall have a claim against an Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall be liable to such Borrower, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by such Borrower that were caused by (1) such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment, in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit or (2) such Issuing Bank’s willful failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and certificates strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Issuing Bank acting in good faith may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.

Section 9.09. ~~Section 9.09.~~ Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT, AND ALL CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) THAT MAY BE BASED UPON, ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE EXECUTION OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY PRINCIPLE OF CONFLICTS OF LAW THAT COULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF ANY OTHER LAW.

Section 9.10. ~~Section 9.10.~~ Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “executed,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided, that, without limiting the foregoing, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, any electronic signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.

Section 9.11. ~~Section 9.11.~~ Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information (as defined below), except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors ~~and~~, other representatives and third party administration, settlement and similar service providers (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) (except this paragraph does not permit the disclosure of any information under section 275(4) of the Australian PPSA unless section 275(7) of the Australian PPSA applies), xii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (except this paragraph does not permit the disclosure of any information under section 275(4) of the Australian PPSA unless section 275(7) of the Australian PPSA applies), xiii) to any other party hereto, xiv) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder (except this paragraph does not permit the disclosure of any information under section 275(4) of the Australian PPSA unless section 275(7)

130

of the Australian PPSA applies), xv) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.11, to (1) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (2) any actual or prospective party (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives) to any swap or derivative or similar transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to any Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (3) any rating agency, or (4) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization, xvi) with the consent of the each Borrower, xvii) any credit insurance provider or xviii) to the extent such Confidential Information (a) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.11 or (b) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Borrower.

For purposes of this Section 9.11, “Confidential Information” means all information received from any Borrower or any of its respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective certified public accountants (including ~~Livent’s~~Arcadium’s Accountants) relating to any Borrower or any of its respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Borrower or any of its respective Subsidiaries, provided, that, in the case of information received from any Borrower or any of its respective Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information as provided in this Section 9.11 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 9.12. ~~Section 9.12.~~ Submission to Jurisdiction; Service of Process.

(a) Any legal action or proceeding brought by any Borrower or any of its respective Affiliates with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be brought exclusively in the courts of the State of New York located in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan, or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Loan Party hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, that any of them may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such respective jurisdictions.

(b) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably consents to the service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents in any suit, action or proceeding brought in the United States of America arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the mailing (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) or delivering of a copy of such process to the Loan Parties at its address specified in Section 9.02. Each Loan Party agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(c) Nothing contained in this Section 9.12 shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Loan Parties in any other jurisdiction.

(d) Each Loan Party that is a Foreign Subsidiary (including Arcadium, IntermediateCo and Xxxxx) hereby agrees that service of process in any action or proceeding brought in any New York State court or in federal court described in clause (a) of this Section 9.12 may be made upon Arcadium at its U.S. address set forth in Section 9.02 of this Agreement and each such Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints Arcadium, and Arcadium hereby accepts such appointment, as its authorized agent to accept such service of

131

process, and agrees that the failure of Arcadium to give any notice of any such service shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon.

Section 9.13. ~~Section 9.13.~~ WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH LOAN PARTY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EACH ISSUING BANK AND EACH OF THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE LOANS, THE LETTERS OF CREDIT OR THE ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY LENDER IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.

Section 9.14. ~~Section 9.14.~~ Judgment Currency. This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars or an Alternate Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Currency”), any payment in New York City or the country of the Specified Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Place”), is of the essence, and the Specified Currency shall be the currency of account in all events relating to Loans denominated in the Specified Currency. The payment obligations of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party under this Agreement and the Notes shall not be discharged by an amount paid in another currency or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified Currency and transfer to the Specified Place under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of the Specified Currency at the Specified Place due hereunder. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the Specified Currency into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange which shall be applied shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Specified Currency with the Second Currency on the Business Day next preceding that on which such judgment is rendered. The obligation of each Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (an “Entitled Person”) shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Entitled Person of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder or under the Notes in the Second Currency such Entitled Person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer to the Specified Place the Specified Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so adjudged to be due; and each Borrower and other Loan Party hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify such Entitled Person against, and to pay such Entitled Person on demand in the Specified Currency, any difference between the sum originally due to such Entitled Person in the Specified Currency and the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased and transferred.

Section 9.15. ~~Section 9.15.~~ European Monetary Union.

(a) Payments by the Administrative Agent Generally. With respect to the payment of any amount denominated in Euro, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any of the Borrowers or any of the Lenders in any way whatsoever for any delay, or the consequences of any delay, in the crediting to any account of any amount required by this Agreement to be paid by the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent shall have taken all relevant steps to achieve, on the date required by this Agreement, the payment of such amount in immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds (in Euro) to the account of any Borrower or any Lender in the Principal Financial Center in the Participating Member State which such Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, shall have specified for such purpose. For the purposes of this clause (a), “all relevant steps” means all such steps as may be prescribed from time to time by the regulations or operating procedures of such clearing or settlement system as the Administrative Agent may from time to time determine for the purpose of clearing or settling payments in Euro.

(b) Other Consequential Changes. Without prejudice to the respective liabilities of the Borrowers to the Lenders and the Lenders to the Borrowers under or pursuant to this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Section 9.15, each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such

132

reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction of or changeover to Euros in Participating Member States.

Section 9.16. ~~Section 9.16.~~ USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender subject to the Patriot Act hereby notifies each Borrower that, pursuant to Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, including the name and address of such Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

Section 9.17. ~~Section 9.17.~~ Appointment of ~~Livent~~Arcadium as Representative. Each Borrower hereby designates ~~Livent~~Arcadium to act as its representative hereunder. ~~Livent~~Arcadium will be acting as agent on each of the Borrowers behalf for the purposes of issuing notices of Borrowing and notices of conversion/continuation of any Loans or Letters of Credit or similar notices, giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit, selecting interest rate options, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions on behalf of any Borrower or the Borrowers under the Loan Documents. ~~Livent~~Arcadium hereby accepts such appointment. Each Borrower agrees that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by ~~Livent~~Arcadium shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower.

Section 9.18. ~~Section 9.18.~~ Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, 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 9.19. ~~Section 9.19.~~ No Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this Section 9.19, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of any Borrowers, its ~~stock~~shareholders and/or its Affiliates. Each Borrower agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and any Borrower, its ~~stock~~shareholders or its Affiliates, on the other. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (a) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrowers and its Affiliates, on the other, and (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (2) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Borrower, its ~~stock~~shareholders or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Borrower, its ~~stock~~shareholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Borrower and its Affiliates except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (3) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Borrower or any of its Affiliates, their management, ~~stock~~shareholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Borrower and its Affiliates, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

133

Section 9.20. ~~Section 9.20.~~ Appointment for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other Requirement of Law can be perfected only by possession or control. Should any Lender (other than the Administrative Agent) obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions.

Section 9.21. ~~Section 9.21.~~ XXXX Events. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that, if there are any Mortgages at such time, any increase, extension or renewal of any of the Commitments hereunder (including the provision of any increase pursuant to Section 2.04), but excluding (a) any continuation or conversion of borrowings, (b) the making of any Revolving Loans or (c) the issuance, renewal or extension of Letters of Credit shall, to the extent such increased, extended or renewed Commitments are secured by such Mortgages (having regard to the final sentence of this Section 9.21), be subject to (and conditioned upon): (i) the prior delivery of all flood hazard determination certifications, acknowledgements and evidence of flood insurance and other flood-related documentation with respect to such Material Real Property as required by Flood Insurance Laws and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received written confirmation from each Lender that flood insurance due diligence and flood insurance compliance has been completed by such Lender (such written confirmation not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding any provision herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, no increase, extension or renewal of any of the Commitments hereunder (including the provision of any increase pursuant to Section 2.04) shall be secured by any such Mortgage unless and until the requirements of clauses (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence have been satisfied.

Section 9.22. ~~Section 9.22.~~ Acknowledgement Regarding any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b) In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting

134

Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

Section 9.23. ~~Section 9.23.~~ Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement is an amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement, it being acknowledged and agreed that as of the Effective Date all obligations outstanding under or in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents (such obligations, collectively, the “Existing Obligations”) constitute obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement is in no way intended to constitute a novation of the Existing Credit Agreement or the Existing Obligations. With respect to (i) any date or time period occurring and ending prior to the Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall govern the respective rights and obligations of any party or parties hereto also party thereto and shall for such purposes remain in full force and effect; and (ii) any date or time period occurring or ending on or after the Effective Date, the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the exhibits and schedules hereto) and the other Loan Documents. From and after the Effective Date, any reference to the Existing Credit Agreement in any of the other Loan Documents executed or issued by and/or delivered to any one or more parties hereto pursuant to or in connection therewith shall be deemed to be a reference to this Agreement, and the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between such provisions and those of the Existing Credit Agreement.

Section 9.24. Jersey Regulation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Arcadium shall not issue Revolving Loan Notes to more than ten Lenders at any one time (and no Lender shall request any Revolving Loan Note or assign all or a portion the Note or Notes held by it if it would result in there being more than ten holders of Revolving Loan Notes at any one time) unless Arcadium has obtained from the Jersey Financial Services Commission a consent (which has not been withdrawn) under Article 4 of the Control of Borrowing (Jersey) Order 1958 to the issue of such Revolving Loan Notes.

Section 9.25. Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Australian Security Trustee shall not in any event be liable for any loss or damage, or any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder or thereunder if it is prevented from so performing its obligations by any reason which is beyond the control of the Australian Security Trustee, including, but not limited to, by any existing or future law or regulation, any existing or future act of governmental authority, Act of God, flood, war whether declared or undeclared, terrorism, riot, rebellion, civil commotion, strike, lockout, other industrial action, general failure of electricity or other supply, aircraft collision, technical failure, accidental or mechanical or electrical breakdown, computer failure or failure of any money transmission system or any event where, in the reasonable opinion of the Australian Security Trustee, performance of any duty or obligation under or pursuant to this Agreement would or may be illegal or would result in the Agent being in breach of any law, rule, regulation, or any decree, order or judgment of any court, or practice, request, direction, notice, announcement or similar action (whether or not having the force of law) of any relevant government, government agency, regulatory authority, stock exchange or self-regulatory organisation to which the Australian Security Trustee is subject.

(a) Each Guarantor (other than those that have delivered a separate Guarantee) hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as a primary obligor and not merely as surety, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Secured Parties, the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations and all costs and expenses including all court costs and attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees (including allocated costs of in-house counsel and paralegals) and expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the

Issuing Banks and the Lenders in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Secured Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, the Borrowers, any Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Secured Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Secured Obligations, collectively the “Guarantied Obligations”), whether or not from time to time reduced or extinguished or hereafter increased or incurred, whether or not recovery may be or hereafter may become barred by any statute of limitations, and whether enforceable or unenforceable as against any Borrower, now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, including principal, interest (including interest at the contract rate applicable upon default accrued or accruing after the commencement of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in such proceeding), provided, however, that the definition of “Guarantied Obligations” shall not create any guarantee by any Guarantor of (or grant of security interest by any Guarantor to support, as applicable) any Excluded Hedging Contract of such Guarantor for purposes of determining any obligations of any Guarantor). This guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment and not of collection.

(b) Each Guarantor further agrees that, (i) if any payment made by any of the Borrowers or any other person and applied to the Guarantied Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or (4) if any payment is made by any Lender or any other holder of Guarantied Obligations (the “Guarantied Parties”) to any Borrower, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including the Guarantors, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, in each case, to the extent of such payment or repayment, each Guarantor’s liability under this Section 10.01 shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made or, if prior thereto this guaranty set forth in this Section 10.01 shall have been cancelled or surrendered, the guaranty set forth in this Section 10.01 shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of each Guarantor in respect of the amount of such payment.

(c) Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally jointly and severally undertakes to the Secured Parties that if an Ipso Facto Event is continuing, then immediately on demand by a Secured Party that each Guarantor shall pay all principal, accrued interest and other amounts referred to in the last paragraph of Section 7.01 as if it was the principal obligor.

Section 10.02. ~~Section 10.02.~~ Authorization; Other Agreements. The Guarantied Parties are hereby authorized, without notice to or demand upon the Guarantors, which notice or demand is expressly waived hereby, and without discharging or otherwise affecting the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder (which shall remain absolute and unconditional notwithstanding any such action or omission to act), from time to time, to:

(a) supplement, renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or other terms relating to, the Guarantied Obligations, or any part of them, or otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of any promissory note or other agreement, document or instrument (including this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) now or hereafter executed by any Borrower and delivered to the Guarantied Parties or any of them, including any increase or decrease of principal or the rate of interest thereon;

(b) waive or otherwise consent to noncompliance with any provision of any instrument evidencing the Guarantied Obligations, or any part thereof, or any other instrument or agreement in respect of the Guarantied Obligations (including this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) now or hereafter executed by any Borrower and delivered to the Guarantied Parties or any of them;

136

(h) refund at any time any payment received by any Guarantied Party in respect of any of the Guarantied Obligations, and payment to such Person of the amount so refunded shall be fully guaranteed hereby even though prior thereto this Loan Guaranty shall have been cancelled or surrendered, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder in respect of the amount so refunded; even if any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor is extinguished, affected or impaired by any of the foregoing (including any election of remedies by reason of any judicial, non-judicial or other proceeding in respect of the Guarantied Obligations which impairs any subrogation, reimbursement or other right of any Guarantor).

Section 10.04. ~~Section 10.04.~~ Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, promptness, presentment, demand for payment or performance and protest and notice of protest, notice of acceptance and any other notice in respect of the Guarantied Obligations or any part of them, and any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Borrower. No Guarantor shall, until the Guarantied Obligations are irrevocably paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated, assert any claim or counterclaim it may have against any Borrower or set off any of its obligations to any Borrower against any obligations of any Borrower to it. In connection with the foregoing, each Guarantor covenants that its obligations hereunder shall not be discharged, except by complete performance.

Section 10.05. ~~Section 10.05.~~ Reliance. Each Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrowers and any and all endorsers and/or other guarantors of all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guarantied Obligations, or any part thereof, that diligent inquiry would reveal, and each Guarantor hereby agrees that no Guarantied Party shall have any duty to advise it of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event any Guarantied Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to a Guarantor, such Guarantied Party shall be under no obligation (a) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (b) to disclose any information which such Guarantied Party, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or xix) to make any other or future disclosures of such information or any other information to any Guarantied Party.

Section 10.06. ~~Section 10.06.~~ Waiver of Subrogation and Contribution Rights. Until the Guarantied Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated, no Guarantor shall enforce or otherwise exercise any right of subrogation to any of the rights of the Guarantied Parties or any part of them against any Borrower or any right of reimbursement or contribution or similar right against any Borrower by reason of this Agreement or by any payment made by any Guarantor in respect of the obligations under this Agreement or the Notes.

Section 10.07. ~~Section 10.07.~~ Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 7.01(e), any Indebtedness of any Borrower now or hereafter owing to it, whether heretofore, now or hereafter created (the “Loan Guaranty Subordinated Debt”), is hereby subordinated to all of the obligations under this Agreement and the Notes, and that, except as expressly permitted by this agreement, the Loan Guaranty Subordinated Debt shall not be paid in

138

whole or in part until such obligations have been paid in full and this Loan Guaranty is terminated and of no further force or effect. No Guarantor shall accept any payment of or on account of any Loan Guaranty Subordinated Debt at any time in contravention of the foregoing. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(e), each Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent any payment of all or any part of the Loan Guaranty Subordinated Debt and any amount so paid to the Administrative Agent shall be applied to payment of the obligations under this Agreement and the Notes as provided herein. Each payment on the Loan Guaranty Subordinated Debt received in violation of any of the provisions hereof shall be deemed to have been received by the Guarantors as trustee for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent immediately on account of the Guarantied Obligations, but without otherwise affecting in any manner the Guarantors’ liability under this Article X (Loan Guaranty). Each Guarantor agrees to file all claims against the Borrowers in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law in respect of any Loan Guaranty Subordinated Debt, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to all of such Guarantor’s rights thereunder. If for any reason any Guarantor fails to file such claim at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the last date on which such claim should be filed, such Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and is hereby authorized to act as attorney-in-fact in such Guarantor’s name to file such claim or, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, to assign such claim to and cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to the Administrative Agent the full amount payable on the claim in the proceeding, and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, each Guarantor hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent all of such Guarantor’s rights to any payments or distributions to which such Guarantor otherwise would be entitled. If the amount so paid is greater than such Guarantor’s liability hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall pay the excess amount to the party entitled thereto.

Section 10.08. ~~Section 10.08.~~ Default; Remedies. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of and separate from the Guarantied Obligations. Upon any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, at its sole election, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Guarantor to collect and recover the full amount or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations then due, without first proceeding against the defaulting Borrower or Borrowers or any other guarantor of the Guarantied Obligations, or joining the defaulting Borrower or Borrowers or any other guarantor in any proceeding against any Guarantor. At any time after maturity of the Guarantied Obligations, the Administrative Agent may (unless the Guarantied Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full), without notice to any Guarantor, appropriate and apply toward the payment of the Guarantied Obligations (a) any indebtedness due or to become due from any Guarantied Party to any Guarantor and (b) any moneys, credits or other property belonging to any Guarantor at any time held by or coming into the possession of any Guarantied Party or any of its respective Affiliates.

Section 10.09. ~~Section 10.09.~~ Irrevocability. This Loan Guaranty set forth in this Article X (Loan Guaranty) shall be irrevocable as to any and all of the Guarantied Obligations until the Commitments have been terminated and all monetary Guarantied Obligations then outstanding have been irrevocably repaid in cash.

Section 10.10. ~~Section 10.10.~~ Setoff. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Guarantied Party and each Affiliate thereof may, without notice to any Guarantor and regardless of the acceptance of any security or collateral for the payment hereof, appropriate and apply toward the payment of all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations then due and payable (a) any indebtedness due or to become due from such Guarantied Party or Affiliate thereof to any Guarantor or any Borrower, and (b) any moneys, credits or other property belonging to any Guarantor or any Borrower, at any time held by or coming into the possession of such Guarantied Party or Affiliate thereof (other than trust accounts).

139

Section 10.11. ~~Section 10.11.~~ No Marshaling. Each Guarantor consents and agrees that no Guarantied Party or Person acting for or on behalf thereof shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Guarantor or against or in payment of any or all of the Guarantied Obligations.

Section 10.12. ~~Section 10.12.~~ Enforcement; Amendments; Waivers. No delay on the part of any Guarantied Party in the exercise of any right or remedy arising under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise with respect to all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations or any other guaranty of or security for all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by any such Person of any such right or remedy shall preclude any further exercise thereof. Failure by any Guarantied Party at any time or times hereafter to require strict performance by any Guarantor, any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations or any other Person of any of the provisions, warranties, terms and conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents now or at any time or times hereafter executed by such Persons and delivered to any Guarantied Party shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of such person at any time or times hereafter to demand strict performance thereof and such right shall not be deemed to have been waived by any act or knowledge of any Guarantied Party, or its Affiliates, unless such waiver is contained in an instrument in writing, directed and delivered to such Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, specifying such waiver, and is signed by the party or parties necessary to give such waiver under this Agreement. No waiver of any Event of Default shall operate as a waiver of any other Event of Default or the same Event of Default on a future occasion, and no action by any Guarantied Party permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair any its rights and remedies or the obligations of any Guarantor under this Article X (Loan Guaranty). Any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction of the amount of any principal and/or interest owing by any Borrower to any Guarantied Party shall be conclusive and binding on the Guarantors irrespective of whether any or all of the Guarantors were a party to the suit or action in which such determination was made.

Section 10.13. ~~Section 10.13.~~ Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Loan Guaranty in respect of a Hedging Obligation (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 10.13 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 10.13 or otherwise under this Loan Guaranty voidable under any Requirement of Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). Except as otherwise provided herein, the obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 10.13 shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of all Hedging Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 10.13 constitute, and this Section 10.13 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Section 10.14. Irish Guarantee Limitation. The guarantee in this Section 10 does not apply to any liability of the IntermediateCo and/or XxxXx to the extent that it would result in this guarantee constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of section 82 of the Companies Act 2014 of Ireland.

Section 10.15. Jersey Customary law waivers. Without prejudice to any other waiver contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Guarantor incorporated, established, constituted or formed under the laws of Jersey waives any right: (a) whether by virtue of the droit de division or otherwise, to require that the Guaranteed Obligations or any part of them be divided or apportioned with any other Guarantor or any other Person or reduced in any way or manner; and (b) whether by virtue of the droit de discussion or otherwise to require that recourse be had to the assets of any other Guarantor or any other Person before any claim is enforced against it in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part of them.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We refer to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of January 4, 2024 (as the same may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Arcadium Lithium plc, a public limited company incorporated under the laws of the Bailiwick of Jersey (originally incorporated as Lightning-A Limited, a private limited company incorporated under the laws of the Bailiwick of Jersey and f/k/a Allkem Livent plc), Arcadium Lithium Intermediate IRL Limited, a private limited company organized in Ireland, Arcadium Lithium Financing IRL Limited, a private limited company organized in Ireland, Livent Corporation, a Delaware corporation and Livent USA Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrowers” and, each, a “Borrower”), the Guarantors party thereto from time to time, the Lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for the Lenders thereunder, a copy of which has been furnished to you, pursuant to which we will, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, make Loans from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding $ (or the equivalent in an Alternate Currency). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement, except that as used herein, the term “Loans” shall refer to Loans^*made from time to time by us to the Borrowers pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The Revolving Loans made and to be made by us under the Credit Agreement are evidenced by [a promissory note dated , 2024 (the “Note”)] [promissory notes dated , 2024 (the “Notes”)].

We will, promptly upon our receipt of this purchase price from you, send you a participation certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit A, confirming and evidencing your Participation in the Loan(s) outstanding on the date hereof.

^*Exclude the Loans which are not to be covered by the Participation Agreement.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, “Purchased Interest” means at any time a fraction, expressed as a percentage, obtained by dividing (i) the Participation Amount (reduced by payments of principal to which you are entitled pursuant to this Participation Agreement and by the amount of such Participation Amount repurchased pursuant to the final sentence of this Section 1(b)) by (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans which are or may in the future be held by us at such time. As of the date hereof, the Purchased Interest is %. You acknowledge that as a result of assignments made by or to us pursuant to Section 9.07 of the Credit Agreement, your Purchased Interest is subject to change from time to time.

(d) If, for any reason, you fail to make timely payment to us of your Purchased Interest of any Loan, in addition to other rights and remedies which we may have, we shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from you on your Purchased Interest thereof for the period from the date when payment was due until payment is made at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during that period, (ii) to withhold or set off, and to apply to the payment of your Purchased Interest thereof and any related interest, any amounts that we receive in respect of Loans in which you have a Participation, (iii) to withhold from you any right of consent provided to you by Section 6 of this Agreement and (iv) to bring an action or suit against you in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover your Purchased Interest thereof and any related interest.

2. Payments.

Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Grantor will permit the Administrative Agent from time to time to cause the appropriate issuers (and, if held with a securities intermediary, such securities intermediary) of uncertificated securities or other types of Pledged Collateral not represented by certificates to mark their books and records with the numbers and face amounts of all such uncertificated securities or other types of Pledged Collateral not represented by certificates and all rollovers and replacements therefor to reflect the Lien of the Administrative Agent granted pursuant to this Security Agreement.

4.4. Pledged Collateral.

(a) Changes in Capital Structure of Issuers. Such Grantor will not (i) permit or suffer any issuer of an Equity Interest constituting Pledged Collateral which is a Subsidiary to dissolve, merge, liquidate, retire any of its Equity Interests or other Instruments or Securities evidencing ownership, reduce its capital, sell or encumber all or substantially all of its assets or merge or consolidate with any other entity (in each case except as permitted under the Credit Agreement), or (ii) vote any Pledged Collateral in favor of any of the foregoing (except as permitted under the Credit Agreement).

(b) Registration of Pledged Collateral. Such Grantor will permit any registerable Pledged Collateral to be registered in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee at any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default at the option of the Required Lenders.

(i) Without in any way limiting the foregoing and subject to clause (ii) below, such Grantor shall have the right to exercise all voting rights or other rights relating to the Pledged Collateral for all purposes not inconsistent with this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, however, that no vote or other right shall be exercised or action taken which would have the effect of impairing the rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder in respect of the Pledged Collateral (except for actions (and votes in respect thereof) that are expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement).

(ii) Such Grantor will permit the Administrative Agent or its nominee at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, without notice, to exercise all voting rights or other rights relating to Pledged Collateral, including, without limitation, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges, or options pertaining to any Equity Interest or Investment Property constituting Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof.

(iii) To the extent not in violation of the Credit Agreement, such Grantor shall be entitled to collect and receive for its own use all cash dividends and interest paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral; and

(iv) All distributions in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral which are not permitted under the Credit Agreement, whenever paid or made, shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent to hold as Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by such Grantor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Grantor, and be forthwith delivered to the Administrative Agent as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

4.5. Intellectual Property.

(a) Such Grantor will use commercially reasonable efforts to secure, at its own expense, all consents and approvals necessary or appropriate for the collateral assignment to or benefit of the Administrative Agent of any material License to which such Grantor is a party and to enforce the security interests granted hereunder.

(b) Such Grantor shall notify the Administrative Agent promptly if it knows, or has reason to know, that any application, issuance or registration relating to any Patent, Trademark or Copyright (now or hereafter existing) included in the Collateral may or has become abandoned or dedicated to the public domain, or of any adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any adversarial proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any court) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any such Patent, Trademark or Copyright, its right to register the same, or to keep and maintain the same, in each case, except to the extent such Grantor determines, in its reasonable business judgment, that such Patent, Trademark or Copyright application, issuance or registration is not material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business or operations.

(c) In the event that any Grantor, either directly or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, files an application for the registration or issuance of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office, such Grantor shall give the Administrative Agent written notice thereof no later than thirty (30) days following the date of such filing and, upon request of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor shall execute and deliver any and all security agreements or other instruments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Administrative Agent’s first priority security interest on such Patent, Trademark or Copyright, and the General Intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby.

(d) Such Grantor shall (unless such Grantor determines, in its reasonable business judgment, that such Patent, Trademark, Copyright or trade secret is not material to the conduct of its business or operations) take all actions necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to (i) maintain and pursue each application, to obtain the relevant registration and to maintain the registration of each of the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights (now or hereafter existing) included in the Collateral, including the filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of noncontestability and opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings against third parties and (ii) maintain the confidentiality and value of all trade secrets included in the Collateral.

(e) Such Grantor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation of such Grantor’s Intellectual Property of which such Grantor becomes aware and (unless such Grantor determines, in its reasonable business judgment, that such Intellectual Property is not material to the conduct of its business or operations) take all actions necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in respect of such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation to protect such Intellectual Property and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation. In the event that such Grantor institutes suit because any Intellectual Property constituting Collateral is infringed upon or misappropriated, diluted or otherwise violated by a third party, such Grantor shall comply with Section 4.6.

(f) Such Grantor will, at any time and from time to time, execute or otherwise authenticate the Intellectual Property Security Agreements for recording the security interest granted hereunder to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in such Intellectual Property Collateral with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office necessary to perfect the security interest granted hereunder in any registered or applied-for United States Intellectual Property, as applicable.

4.6. Commercial Tort Claims. Such Grantor shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days (or such later date as agreed to by the Administrative Agent) after the same is acquired by it, notify the Administrative Agent of any commercial tort claim in excess of $500,000 individually or $1 million in the aggregate (as defined in the UCC) acquired by it and, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, such Grantor shall enter into an amendment to this Security Agreement, in the form of Schedule A hereto, granting to Administrative Agent a first priority security interest in such commercial tort claim.

4.7. Letter-of-Credit Rights. If such Grantor is or becomes the beneficiary of a letter of credit in excess of $500,000 individually or $1 million in the aggregate, such Grantor shall promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days (or such later date as agreed to by the Administrative Agent) after becoming a beneficiary, notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default upon the Administrative Agent’s request, cause the issuer and/or confirmation bank to (i) consent to the assignment of any Letter-of-Credit Rights to the Administrative Agent and (ii) agree to direct all payments thereunder to a Deposit Account at the Administrative Agent for application to the Secured Obligations, in accordance with Section 2.09 of the Credit Agreement, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

4.9. No Interference. Such Grantor agrees that it will not interfere with any right, power and remedy of the Administrative Agent provided for in this Security Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies when and to the extent permitted hereunder.

4.10. Insurance. (a) All insurance policies issued under U.S. law required hereunder and under Section 6.03(e) of the Credit Agreement shall name the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) as an additional insured or as loss payee (as its interests may appear), as applicable, and shall contain customary loss payable clauses, where applicable, through endorsements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(b) All premiums on such insurance shall be paid when due by such Grantor, and, if so requested by the Administrative Agent, copies of the policies delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Article V
REMEDIES

5.1. Remedies.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:

(i) those rights and remedies provided in this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document; provided, that this Section 5.1(a) shall not be understood to limit any rights or remedies available to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties prior to an Event of Default;

(ii) those rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or under any other applicable law (including, without limitation, any law governing the exercise of a bank’s right of setoff or bankers’ lien) when a debtor is in default under a security agreement;

(iii) without notice (except as specifically provided in Section 8.1 or elsewhere herein or otherwise required by applicable law), demand or advertisement of any kind to any Grantor or any other Person, enter the premises of any Grantor where any Collateral is located (through self-help and without judicial process) to collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of, deliver, or realize upon, the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice and may take place at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as are commercially reasonable;

(iv) concurrently with written notice to the applicable Grantor, transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon, for application or other treatment in accordance with the express terms of the Credit Agreement, and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though the Administrative Agent was the outright owner thereof; and

(v) deliver the appropriate notices as provided in, and pursuant to, each respective Account Control Agreement, as applicable, and apply the balance from any Deposit Account, Securities Account or Commodities Account, as applicable, or instruct the appropriate depository bank or other financial institution at which any such Deposit Account, Securities Account or Commodities Account is maintained to pay the balance of such Deposit Account, Securities Account or Commodities Account, as applicable, to or for the benefit of the Administrative Agent to be applied against the Obligations then due and owing.

(b) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption each Grantor hereby expressly releases.

(d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, until the Administrative Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Administrative Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Secured Parties shall be required to, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (i) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, such Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof, (ii) marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Secured Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, or (iii) effect a public sale of any Collateral.

(f) Each Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with clause (a) above. Each Grantor also acknowledges that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit such Grantor or the issuer of the Pledged Collateral to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the applicable Grantor and the issuer would agree to do so.

5.2. Xxxxxxx’s Obligations Upon Default. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each Grantor will:

(a) assemble and make available to the Administrative Agent the Collateral and all books and records relating thereto at any place or places specified by the Administrative Agent, whether at a Grantor’s premises or elsewhere; and

(b) permit the Administrative Agent, by the Administrative Agent’s representatives and agents, to enter, occupy and use any premises where all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, are located, to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, to remove all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, and to conduct sales of the Collateral, without any obligation to pay such Grantor for such use and occupancy.

5.3. Grant of Intellectual Property License. For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise the rights and remedies under this Article V, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby (a) grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any intellectual property rights now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, subject, in the case of Trademarks, to quality controls sufficient to maintain the validity of such Trademarks and such Grantor’s rights therein and (b) irrevocably agrees that the Administrative Agent may sell any of such Grantor’s Inventory directly to any person, including without limitation persons who have previously purchased such Grantor’s Inventory from such Grantor and in connection with any such sale or other enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Security Agreement, may sell Inventory which bears any Trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor and any Inventory that is covered by any Copyright or Patent owned by or licensed to such Grantor and the Administrative Agent may finish any work in process and affix any Trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor and sell such Inventory as provided herein.

5.4. Allocation of Proceeds. Any proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent (i) not constituting a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by any Borrower), or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall be applied ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements including amounts then due to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks from any Borrower (other than in connection with Hedging Obligations and obligations owing under any Specified Cash Management Agreement), second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from any Borrower (other than in connection with Hedging Obligations or obligations owing under any Specified Cash Management Agreement), third, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans or Incremental Term Loan Facility, if any, ratably, fourth, to the payment of principal on the Loans or Incremental Term Loan Facility, if any, the payment of any amounts owing with respect to Hedging Obligations (to the extent such Hedging Obligations are designated as constituting Secured Obligations as set forth in the definition of “Secured Obligations” in the Credit Agreement) or obligations owing under any Specified Cash Management Agreement and to pay an amount (in the case of such Hedging Obligations and such obligations owing under any Specified Cash Management Agreement, to the extent not previously cash collateralized) to the Administrative Agent equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations, and fifth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by any Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts received from any Loan Party shall not be applied to any obligation under an Excluded Hedging Contract of such Loan Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by any Borrower, or unless a Default is in existence, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any SOFR or EURIBOR Loan, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such SOFR or EURIBOR Loan or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding Base Rate Loans and, in any such event, any Borrower shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 9.04(c) of the Credit Agreement. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Secured Obligations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Hedging Obligations or obligations owing under any Specified Cash Management Agreement shall be excluded from the application described above and paid in clause fourth if the Administrative Agent has not received such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may have reasonably requested from the applicable provider of such Hedging Contracts or such Specified Cash Management Agreements; provided, however, that no payments by a Guarantor and no proceeds of Collateral of a Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Hedging Contract of such Guarantor.

Article VI

6.1. Authorization for Secured Party to Take Certain Action.

(a) Each Grantor irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney in fact (i) to execute on behalf of such Grantor as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (ii) following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to endorse and collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral, (iii) to file any financing statement or any intellectual property filing with respect to the Collateral (whether now owned or hereafter acquired by any Grantor) and to file any other financing statement, amendment of a financing statement (which does not add new collateral or add a debtor) or intellectual property filing in such offices as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral (whether now owned or hereafter acquired by any Grantor), (iv) following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to contact and enter into one or more agreements with the issuers of uncertificated securities which are Pledged Collateral or with securities intermediaries holding Pledged Collateral as may be necessary or advisable to give the Administrative Agent Control over such Pledged Collateral, (v) following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees or Liens on the Collateral (except for Permitted Liens) after written notice to Grantors, (vi) following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to contact Account Debtors for any reason, (vii) following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to demand payment or enforce payment of the Receivables in the name of the Administrative Agent or such Grantor, to direct any obligor in respect of any Receivable to deliver payment thereon directly to the Administrative Agent and to endorse any and all checks, drafts, and other instruments for the payment of money relating to the Receivables, (viii) following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to sign such Grantor’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to the Receivables, drafts against any Account Debtor of such Grantor, assignments and verifications of Receivables, (ix) following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to exercise all of such Grantor’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Receivables and any other Collateral, (x) following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew the Receivables, (xi) following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect Receivables, (xii) following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to prepare, file and sign such Grantor’s name on a proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any Account Debtor of such Grantor, (xiii) following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to prepare, file and sign such Grantor’s name on any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with the Receivables, and (xiv) following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to do all other acts and things reasonably necessary to carry out this Security Agreement; and such Grantor agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent on demand for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that this authorization shall not relieve such Grantor of any of its obligations under this Security Agreement or under the Credit Agreement.

(b) All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved to the extent such acts are permitted hereunder. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, under this Section 6.1 are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers.

6.2. Proxy. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS THE PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT (AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.1 ABOVE) OF SUCH GRANTOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO VOTE SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO AFTER THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT TO VOTE ANY SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL AFTER THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, THE APPOINTMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS, CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS), IN EACH CASE AFTER THE OCCURRENCE OF AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. SUCH PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE ISSUER OF SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL OR ANY OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF), UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUATION OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT.

6.3. Nature of Appointment; Limitation of Duty. THE APPOINTMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IN THIS ARTICLE VI IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE DATE ON WHICH THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8.14.

Article VII
GENERAL PROVISIONS

7.1. Waivers. Each Grantor hereby agrees that notice will be given of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made. Any notice made shall be deemed reasonable if sent to such Grantor, addressed as set forth in Article VIII, at least ten days prior to (a) the date of any such public sale or (b) the time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, such Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent it may lawfully do so, such Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, such Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.

7.2. Limitation on Administrative Agent’s and Secured Parties’ Duty with Respect to the Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Administrative Agent and each Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. Nothing contained in this Section 7.2 shall be construed to grant any rights to such Grantor or to impose any duties on the Administrative Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 7.2.

7.3. Compromises and Collection of Collateral. The Grantors and the Administrative Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Administrative Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Administrative Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.

7.4. Secured Party Performance of Debtor Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, the Administrative Agent may perform or pay any obligation which any Grantor has agreed to perform or pay in this Security Agreement but has failed to do so following notice to such Grantor and the Grantors shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any amounts paid by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 7.4. The Grantors’ obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be a Secured Obligation payable on demand.

7.5. Dispositions Not Authorized. Except as permitted under the Credit Agreement, no Grantor is authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral and notwithstanding any course of dealing between any Grantor and the Administrative Agent or other conduct of the Administrative Agent, no authorization to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties unless such authorization is contained in the Credit Agreement or in another writing signed by the Administrative Agent with the consent or at the direction of the Required Lenders.

7.6. No Waiver; Amendments; Cumulative Remedies. No delay or omission of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy granted under this Security Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Security Agreement whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Administrative Agent with the concurrence or at the direction of the Lenders required under Sections 9.01 and 9.03 of the Credit Agreement and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All rights and remedies contained in this Security Agreement or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full.

7.7. Limitation by Law; Severability of Provisions. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Security Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded or registered, in whole or in part. Any provision in any this Security Agreement that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of this Security Agreement are declared to be severable.

7.8. Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.
