(“Intermediate U.S. Holdings”), the Borrower, the lending institutions from time to time party thereto, and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (capitalized terms used but not defined herein having the meaning provided in the Credit Agreement); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.20 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower may establish an Incremental Term Increase by, among other things, entering into one or more Incremental Facility Amendments with Additional Term Lenders or existing Lenders;

WHEREAS, the Incremental Term Loan Lender and the Borrower wish to establish an Incremental Term Increase on the terms set forth in this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

The Incremental Term Loan Lender hereby commits to provide, subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9 of this Agreement, the Incremental Term Increase as set forth on Schedule A annexed hereto, and agrees to make the Incremental Term Loans thereunder upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 10 of this Agreement, on the terms set forth below.

The Incremental Term Loan Lender (i) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the exhibits thereto, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 5.01 of the Credit Agreement and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement; (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender or Agent, 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 the Credit Agreement; (iii) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (iv) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender. This Agreement shall constitute (i) the notice required to be delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.20(a) of the Credit Agreement and (ii) an “Incremental Facility Amendment” for purposes of Section 2.20(d) of the Credit Agreement.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in the Credit Agreement, the terms of the Incremental Term Increase (including without limitation the Applicable Rate, the principal payment terms applicable thereto and the maturity date thereof) shall be the same as the terms of the Initial Dollar Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to giving effect to this Agreement, and such Incremental Term Increase shall be deemed to be “Initial Term Loans” for all purposes of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document and shall constitute one tranche with, and be the same Class as, the Initial Dollar Term Loans made on the 2017 Amendment Effective Date. Following the 2019 Incremental Amendment Funding Date (as defined below) and the funding of the Incremental Term Increase on the 2019 Incremental Amendment Funding Date, each reference to “Initial Term Loans” and “Initial Dollar Term Loans” shall include the Incremental Term Increase and each reference to “Lender” shall include the Incremental Term Loan Lender hereunder, in each case, unless the context shall require otherwise. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld), the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all amounts of such Incremental Term Increase, when originally made, are Initial Dollar Term Loans for all purposes under the Loan Documents and are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Initial Dollar Term Loans on a pro rata basis. This may be accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent by allocating a portion of each such Incremental Term Increase to each outstanding Eurodollar Loan that is a Term Loan of the same Class on a pro rata basis, even though as a result thereof such Incremental Term Increase may effectively have a shorter Interest Period than the Term Loans included in the Borrowing of which they are a part (and notwithstanding any other provision of the Credit Agreement that would prohibit such an initial Interest Period). The Incremental Term Increase shall not accrue interest for any period prior to the 2019 Incremental Amendment Funding Date and the Borrower shall not be required to pay interest on the Incremental Term Increase pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Credit Agreement for any period prior to the 2019 Incremental Amendment Funding Date.

Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9 and Section 10 of this Agreement, the Incremental Term Loan Lender hereby agrees to make the Incremental Term Increase on the following terms and conditions:

Applicable Rate. For the avoidance of doubt, the Applicable Rate for ABR Loans or for Eurodollar Loans, as applicable, for the Incremental Term Increase shall mean, as of any date of determination, the applicable percentage per annum with respect to any Initial Dollar Term Loan as set forth in the definition of “Applicable Rate” in the Credit Agreement. All Interest Periods applicable to Initial Dollar Term Loans shall continue in effect after the 2019 Incremental Amendment Funding Date. The Incremental Term Increase shall be initially incurred pursuant to a single Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, with such Borrowing to be subject to (x) Interest Periods which commence on the 2019 Incremental Amendment Funding Date and end on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to the Initial Dollar Term Loans and (y) the LIBO Rate applicable to the Initial Dollar Term Loans. From and after the 2019 Incremental Amendment Funding Date to the first Interest Payment Date to occur after the 2019 Incremental Amendment Funding Date, the Borrower shall make to the Administrative Agent on such first Interest Payment Date (and the Administrative Agent shall distribute to the applicable Lenders in accordance with the Credit Agreement) all payments in respect of interest on the Incremental Term Increase to the Term Lenders for amounts which have accrued on the Incremental Term Increase from the 2019 Incremental Amendment Funding Date to but excluding such Interest Payment Date.

Amortization Payments. Subject to the adjustments pursuant to paragraph (c) of Section 2.10 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall repay Initial Dollar Term Loans (including the Incremental Term Increase) on the last day of each March, June, September and December in the principal amount of Terms Loans as follows; provided that if any such date is not a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the next preceding Business Day:

(A) Payment Date	(B) Amortization Payment

Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 19, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

20.

Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
