agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law

Section 2.14 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).Β Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or
other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.Β Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g),
in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the
indemnified party would have been in if the 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.Β This paragraph (g) 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.

supply made by any Recipient to any party under any Loan Document and such Recipient is required to account to the relevant tax authority for such VAT, such party shall pay to such Recipient (in addition to and at the same time as
paying any other consideration for such supply), an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Recipient shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such party).

(B)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β to the extent the VAT Recipient is the Person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the VAT Subject Party shall promptly, following demand from the VAT Recipient, pay to the VAT
Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on such supply but only to the extent that the VAT Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of such
VAT.

authority.

(iv)Β Β Β Β Β Β Any reference in this paragraph (h) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless
the context otherwise requires) a reference to the Person that is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive
2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union) or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction that is not a member state of the European Union) so that a reference to a party shall be
construed as a reference to such party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which such party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or head) of such group or unity (or
fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be).

required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 1:00 p.m., Local Time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without any defense, setoff,
recoupment or counterclaim.Β Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating
interest thereon.Β All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to such account as may be specified by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender shall be
so made and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 10.03 and 10.18 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified
therein.Β The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof.Β If any payment under any Loan Document shall
be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such
extension.Β All payments hereunder of principal or interest in respect of any Loan or LC Disbursement shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be made in the currency of such Loan or LC Disbursement; all other payments
hereunder and under each other Loan Document shall be made in US Dollars.Β Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent
shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such
payment.
Β
(b)Β Β Β Β Β Β If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder,
such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second,
toward payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion
received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC
Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the amount of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amounts of principal of and accrued interest
on their Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such
participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers
pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as in effect from time to time) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a
participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans to any Person that is an Eligible Assignee (as such term is defined herein from time to time).Β Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and
agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect
to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable
Lenders or Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due.Β In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable Lenders or Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to
the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of
payment to the Administrative Agent at (i) if such amount is denominated in US Dollars, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation and (ii) if such amount is denominated in any other currency, the greater of the applicable Alternative Currency Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation.

inaccuracy shall have resulted in the payment of any interest or fees at rates lower than those that were in fact applicable for any period (based on the actual Leverage Ratio), then, if such inaccuracy is discovered prior to the
termination of the Commitments and the repayment in full of the principal of all Loans and the reduction of the LC Exposure to zero, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to the Lenders (or former

any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14 (other than additional amounts arising from VAT that are recoverable from any Governmental Authority), then such Lender shall (at the
request of the Company) use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices,
branches or Affiliates if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14, as the case may be, in the future and (ii)
would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.Β The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection

Lenders, a Majority in Interest of the Lenders of the affected Class) shall have granted their consent, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such
Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14)

and the other Loan Documents as a Lender of a particular Class) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment and delegation); provided that (A)

the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply.Β Each party hereto agrees that an assignment and delegation required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Company, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank each agree that a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving
Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Revolving Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Revolving
Lenderβs Revolving Commitment and on such date such Revolving Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine to be necessary in order for such
Revolving Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, and such Revolving Lender shall thereupon cease to be a Defaulting Lender (but shall not be entitled to receive any Revolving Commitment Fees
accrued during the period when it was a Defaulting Lender, and all amendments, waivers or modifications effected without its consent in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.02 and this Section during such period shall be binding
on it).

Defaulting Lender, and such Term Lender shall thereupon cease to be a Defaulting Lender (but (x) in the case of a Delayed Draw Term Lender, shall not be entitled to receive any Delayed Draw Term Ticking Fees accrued during the period
when it was a Defaulting Lender, and (y) all amendments, waivers or modifications effected without its consent in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.02 and this Section during such period shall be binding on it).

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, in the case of any Borrowing Subsidiary, shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve

such Revolving Lenderβs Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.Β In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and
unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lenderβs Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable
Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason.Β Such payment by the Revolving Lenders shall be made (i) if
the currency of the applicable LC Disbursement or reimbursement payment shall be US Dollars, in US Dollars and (ii) subject to paragraph (l) of this Section, if the currency of the applicable LC Disbursement or reimbursement payment
shall be a currency other than US Dollars, in US Dollars in an amount equal to the US Dollar Equivalent of such LC Disbursement or reimbursement payment, calculated by the Administrative Agent using the LC Exchange Rate on the
applicable LC Participation Calculation Date.Β Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that (i) its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional

termination of the Revolving Commitments or any forceΒ majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Section 3.14 of ISP 98 or any successor
publication of the International Chamber of Commerce) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the expiration thereof or of the Revolving Commitments, and (ii) each such payment shall be made without any
offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.Β Each Revolving Lender further acknowledges and agrees that, in issuing, amending, renewing or extending any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be entitled to
rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon the representation and warranty of the Borrowers deemed made pursuant to Section 4.03, unless, at least two Business Days prior to the time such Letter of Credit is issued,
amended, renewed or extended (or, in the case of an automatic annual renewal of such Letter of Credit in accordance with its terms, at least two Business Days prior to the time by which the election not to extend must be made by the
applicable Issuing Bank), a Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders shall have notified the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in writing that, as a result of one or more events or circumstances
described in such notice, one or more of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.03(a) or 4.03(b) would not be satisfied if such Letter of Credit were then issued, amended, renewed or extended (it being understood and agreed
that, in the event any Issuing Bank shall have received any such notice, no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit until and unless it shall be satisfied that the events and
circumstances described in such notice shall have been cured or otherwise shall have ceased to exist).
Β
(e)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Disbursements.Β Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by it and shall
promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery or facsimile) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement
thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve any Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
Β

(f)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Reimbursement.Β If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative
Agent an amount in the currency of such LC Disbursement equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 p.m., Local Time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that such Borrower receives notice of such LC
Disbursement; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is denominated in US Dollars and is not less than US$1,000,000, the applicable Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance
with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or a Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrowerβs obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and
replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan.Β If the applicable Borrower fails to make any such reimbursement payment when due, (i) if such payment relates to a Letter of Credit denominated in any currency
other than US Dollars, automatically and with no further action required, the obligation of such Borrower to reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the US Dollar
Equivalent, calculated using the LC Exchange Rate on the applicable LC Participation Calculation Date, of such LC Disbursement and (ii) in the case of each LC Disbursement, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender
of the applicable LC Disbursement, the amount of the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lenderβs Applicable Percentage thereof, and each Revolving Lender shall pay in US Dollars to the
Administrative Agent on the date such notice is received its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from such Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.04 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Lender (and
Section 2.04 shall apply, mutatisΒ mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this paragraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts
so received by it from the Revolving Lenders.Β Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from a Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the
applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.Β Any
payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of an ABR Revolving Loan or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a
Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.Β If the applicable Borrowerβs reimbursement of, or obligation to reimburse, any amounts in any currency other than US Dollars
would subject the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender to any stamp duty, ad valorem charge or similar tax that would not be payable if such reimbursement were made or required to be made in US
Dollars, such Borrower shall pay the amount of any such tax requested by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Revolving Lender.

(g)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Obligations Absolute.Β Each Borrowerβs obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
or any term or provision thereof or hereof, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) any forceΒ majeure or other event
that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Section 3.14 of ISP 98 or any successor publication of the International Chamber of Commerce) permits a drawing to be made under
such Letter of Credit after the stated expiration date thereof or of the Revolving Commitments or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of
this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the applicable Borrowerβs obligations hereunder.Β None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or any of their
Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit, any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the
circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any
document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any other act, failure to act or other event or circumstance; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse
any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent
permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by such Issuing Bankβs failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms
thereof.Β The parties hereto expressly agree that unless a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined in a final and nonappealable judgment that in making any such determination the applicable Issuing Bank acted with
gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in such determination.Β In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that,
with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents
without responsibility for further investigation or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(h)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Interim Interest.Β If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made,
the unpaid amount thereof (determined in accordance with the definition thereof) shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the applicable Borrower
reimburses such LC Disbursement, (i) in the case of any LC Disbursement denominated in US Dollars, and at all times following the conversion to US Dollars of any LC Disbursement made in any other LC Currency pursuant to paragraph
(f) or (l) of this Section, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans and (ii) if such LC Disbursement is made in an LC Currency other than US Dollars, at all times prior to its conversion to US Dollars pursuant
to paragraph (f) or (l) of this Section, at a rate equal to the rate reasonably determined by the applicable Issuing Bank to be the cost to such Issuing Bank of funding such LC Disbursement (which determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error, it being understood that such Issuing Bank may deem the applicable Alternative Currency Overnight Rate to represent such cost of funding) plus the Applicable Rate applicable to LIBOR Revolving Loans at
such time; provided that, if the applicable Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section, then Section 2.10(e) shall apply.Β Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph
shall be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section to reimburse
such Issuing Bank shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand has been made, on the date on which the applicable
Borrower reimburses the applicable LC Disbursement in full.
Β
(i)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Designation of Additional Issuing Banks.Β The Company may, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned), designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more Revolving Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below.Β The acceptance by a Revolving Lender of an appointment as an Issuing Bank
hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, executed by the Company, the Administrative Agent and such designated Revolving Lender and, from
and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Revolving Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term
βIssuing Bankβ shall be deemed to include such Revolving Lender in its capacity as an issuer of Letters of Credit hereunder.

(j)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Termination of an Issuing Bank.Β The Company may terminate the appointment of any Issuing Bank as an βIssuing Bankβ hereunder by providing a written notice thereof to such Issuing Bank, with a
copy to the Administrative Agent.Β Any such termination shall become effective upon the earlier of (i) such Issuing Bank acknowledging receipt of such notice and (ii) the 10th Business Day following the date of the delivery thereof;
provided that no such termination shall become effective until and unless the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (or its Affiliates) shall have been reduced to zero.Β At the time any
such termination shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the terminated Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.09(c).Β Notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such termination, the
terminated Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not issue any
additional Letters of Credit.

issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) reasonably prior to the time that such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of
Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the currency and stated amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii) on any Business Day on which any Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day,
the date of such failure and the currency and amount of such LC Disbursement and (iv) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such
Issuing Bank.
Β
(l)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Conversion.Β In the event that the Loans become immediately due and payable on any date pursuant to Section 7.01, all amounts (i) that the Borrowers are at the time or become thereafter required
to reimburse or otherwise pay to the Administrative Agent in respect of LC Disbursements made under any Letter of Credit denominated in an LC Currency other than US Dollars (other than amounts in respect of which any Borrower has
deposited cash collateral, if such cash collateral was deposited in the applicable currency), (ii) that the Revolving Lenders are at the time or become thereafter required to pay to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative
Agent is at the time or becomes thereafter required to distribute to the applicable Issuing Bank) pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section in respect of unreimbursed LC Disbursements made under any Letter of Credit denominated in
an LC Currency other than US Dollars and (iii) of each Revolving Lenderβs participation in any Letter of Credit denominated in an LC Currency other than US Dollars under which an LC Disbursement has been made shall, automatically
and with no further action required, be converted into the US Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the LC Exchange Rate on the date that the Loans become immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 7.01 (or in the case of any LC
Disbursement made after such date, on the date such LC Disbursement is made), of such amounts.Β On and after such conversion, all amounts accruing and owed to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender in
respect of the obligations described in this paragraph shall accrue and be payable in US Dollars at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder.
Β
(m)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Exposure Determination.Β For all purposes of this Agreement, the amount of a Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic
increases in the stated amount thereof shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases (other than any such increase consisting of the reinstatement of an amount
previously drawn thereunder and reimbursed), whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at the time of determination.
Β
93
(n)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Cash Collateralization.Β If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Company receives notice from the Administrative Agent or a Majority in Interest of the
Revolving Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, each Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the
Revolving Lenders and the Issuing Banks, an amount in US Dollars equal to the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided
that (i) amounts required to be deposited in respect of any Letter of Credit or LC Disbursement shall be deposited in the currency of such Letter of Credit or LC Disbursement, except that amounts required to be deposited in respect
of LC Disbursements in an LC Currency other than US Dollars in respect of which the applicable Borrowerβs reimbursement obligations have been converted to obligations in US Dollars as provided in paragraph (f) or (l) of this Section
and interest accrued thereon shall be deposited in US Dollars, and (ii) the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or
other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower under Section 7.01(i).Β The Borrowers shall also deposit cash collateral in accordance with this paragraph as and to the extent
required by Section 2.08(b) or 2.17(c).Β Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the applicable Borrower under this Agreement.Β The
Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.Β Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be in Cash
Equivalent Investments if any such investments are made (it being understood that any such investments shall be at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the applicable Borrowerβs risk and expense), such
deposits shall not bear interest.Β Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.Β Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC
Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the applicable Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the
maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of (A) a Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders and (B) in the case of any such application at a time when any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender
(but only if, after giving effect thereto, the remaining cash collateral shall be less than the total LC Exposure of all the Defaulting Lenders), the consent of each Issuing Bank), be applied to satisfy other obligations of such
Borrower under this Agreement.Β If a Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned
to such Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.Β If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.08(b), such amount (to the
extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers to the extent that the applicable excess referred to in such Section shall have been eliminated and no Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If the
Borrowers provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.17(c), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers, upon request of the Borrowers, to the extent that, after
giving effect to such return, no Issuing Bank shall have any exposure in respect of any outstanding Letter of Credit that is not fully covered by the Revolving Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders and/or the remaining
cash collateral and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

Exposure shall exceed such Lenderβs Revolving Commitment and (iii) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment.Β Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth

of certain conditions or to the Swingline Lender not being required to fund any Swingline Loan absent the occurrence of certain events (or words of similar import) shall not be deemed to create any obligation of the Swingline Lender
to make or fund any Swingline Loan other than in its sole discretion.
Β
(b)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β To request a Swingline Loan, the applicable Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) shall submit to the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a Swingline Borrowing Request, signed by

requested to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.20(f), the identity of the Issuing Bank that has made such LC Disbursement.Β If the Swingline Lender shall have determined, in its sole
discretion, to make the requested Swingline Loan, then the Swingline Lender shall make such Swingline Loan available to the applicable Borrower by means of a wire transfer to the account specified in the applicable Swingline
Borrowing Request or to the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, by 4:00 p.m., Local Time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

unconditionally agrees to pay, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lenderβs Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans.Β Each Revolving
Lender acknowledges and agrees that, in making any Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon the representation and warranty of the Borrowers deemed made
pursuant to Section 4.03, unless, at least two Business Days prior to the time such Swingline Loan was made, the Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders shall have notified the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) in writing that, as a result of one or more events or circumstances described in such notice, one or more of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.03(a) or 4.03(b) would not be satisfied if such

that the events and circumstances described in such notice shall have been cured or otherwise shall have ceased to exist).Β Each Revolving Lender further acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in
Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the
Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.Β Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of
immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.04 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.04 shall apply, mutatisΒ mutandis, to the payment obligations of
the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this paragraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders.Β The Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrowers of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender.Β Any
amounts received by the Swingline Lender from any Borrower (or other Person on behalf of any Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be
promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to
this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the
extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason.Β The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower
of its obligation to repay such Swingline Loan.

Netherlands Borrower or any Domestic Borrowing Subsidiary, by each Revolving Lender (in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), it being understood that a Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have acted
reasonably in withholding its consent if (A) it is unlawful (or such Revolving Lender cannot or has not been able to determine that it is lawful) for such Revolving Lender to make Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit under
this Agreement to such Subsidiary, (B) the making of Revolving Loans or other extensions of credit under this Agreement to such Subsidiary might subject such Revolving Lender to adverse tax consequences for which it is not
reimbursed hereunder, (C) such Revolving Lender would be required to, or has determined that it would be prudent to, register or file in the jurisdiction of formation, organization or location of such Subsidiary in order to make
Revolving Loans or other extensions of credit under this Agreement to such Subsidiary, and such Revolving Lender does not wish to do so or (D) such Revolving Lender is restricted by operational or administrative procedures or other

obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.Β The fees payable by the Company to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed by the Company and such successor.Β
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30Β days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the
retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Company, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (a) the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (b) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent, provided that (i) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the retiring Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the retiring Administrative Agent
shall be made directly to such Person, (ii) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the retiring Administrative Agent shall also directly be given or made to each Lender and each Issuing Bank and

135
Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights of any Lender in accordance with Section 10.08 (or any similar provision in any other Loan Document) or with respect to a Lenderβs right to
file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no holder of any Obligations (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have any right individually to enforce any Guarantee of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, it being

foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no agreement relating to any Designated Cash Management Obligations or Designated Hedge Obligations will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any holder of Obligations that is a party thereto any
rights in connection with the management or release of the obligations of any Loan Party under any Loan Document.

137
The Administrative Agent and the Arrangers hereby inform the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity,

Commitments and this Agreement, (b) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans or the Commitments by such Lender or (c) may receive fees or other

expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the
Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender
failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document
against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this paragraph. For the avoidance of doubt, a βLenderβ shall, for purposes of this paragraph, include any Issuing Bank. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the resignation and/or

SECTION 10.20.Β Β Β Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.Β To the extent
that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, βQFC Credit Supportβ and each such QFC, a βSupported QFCβ), 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 TitleΒ II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
(together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the βUS Special Resolution Regimesβ) 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):
Β
In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a βCovered Partyβ) becomes subject to a proceeding under a US
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 US 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. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a US
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 US 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 Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
