The parties hereto expressly acknowledge that it is not their intention that this Amendment or any of the other Loan Documents executed or delivered pursuant hereto constitute a novation of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, but rather constitute a modification thereof pursuant to the terms contained herein, and the Amendment shall not constitute a novation of the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.

For the avoidance of doubt, each of the parties to this Amendment agrees, that, to the extent that any amendment made to the Existing Credit Agreement pursuant to this Amendment shall constitute a novation within the meaning of Article 1271 et seq. of the Belgian Civil Code,

then notwithstanding any such novation, all the rights (including in relation to the Collateral created under the Security Documents) of the Lender against the Loan Parties shall be maintained in accordance with Article 1278 of the Belgian Civil Code. This Amendment constitutes a Loan Document and an Incremental Facility Agreement.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with any test or covenant contained in this Agreement with respect to any period during which any Material Acquisition or Material Disposition occurs, Acquired EBITDA, Consolidated EBITDA, Disposed EBITDA, the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio shall be calculated with respect to such period and with respect to such Material Acquisition or Material Disposition on a Pro Forma Basis (without duplication of any adjustments made pursuant to the definition of the term “Consolidated EBITDA”).

SECTION 1.05 Times of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

SECTION 1.06 Timing of Payment or Performance. When the payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment (other than as described in the definition of “Interest Period”) or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day, unless the context otherwise requires.

For purposes of Section 6.12, amounts in currencies other than Dollars shall be translated to Dollars at the exchange rate used in preparing the most recently delivered financial statements pursuant to Section 5.01.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of any Borrowing denominated in any Alternative Currency as of each date (with such date to be reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent) that is on or about the date of a Borrowing Request with respect to such Borrowing, in each case using the Exchange Rate for the applicable currency in relation to Dollars in effect on the date of determination.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the applicable Lenders of each calculation of the Dollar Equivalent of each Borrowing made in an Alternative Currency.

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with any restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the Dollar Equivalent of the principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the Exchange Rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to extend, replace, refund, refinance, renew or defease other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance would cause the applicable restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance, such restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being extended, replaced, refunded, refinanced, renewed or defeased.

Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

SECTION 2.02 Loans and Borrowings.

(a) Each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(b) Subject to Section 2.14, each Revolving Borrowing and Term Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans as the Borrower Representative may request in accordance herewith; provided that all Borrowings made on the Initial Funding Date must be made as ABR Borrowings unless the Borrower Representative shall have given the notice required for a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing by the time specified in Section 2.03. Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the obligation of any Lender to make or cause any Loan to be made in accordance with this Agreement.

(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum; provided that a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment; provided, further, that a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing that results from a continuation of an outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to such outstanding Borrowing. At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum; provided that an ABR Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(f).

Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of ten (or such greater number as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) Eurocurrency Rate Borrowings outstanding.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans, in Dollars or any Alternative Currency, to the U.S. Borrower and the Belgian Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $40,000,000 or (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure exceeding the Aggregate Revolving Commitment; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the U.S. Borrower and the Belgian Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the day of the proposed Swingline Loan. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic delivery to the Administrative Agent of an executed written Borrowing Request. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount and currency of the requested Swingline Loan, the Borrower and the location and number of the account to which funds are to be disbursed or, in the case of any Swingline Loan requested to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(f), the identity of the Issuing Bank that has made such LC Disbursement. Promptly following the receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Swingline Lender of the details thereof. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the U.S. Borrower or the Belgian Borrower, as applicable, by means of a wire transfer to the account specified in such Borrowing Request or to the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

(c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount and currency of the Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will be required to participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay, upon receipt of notice (or with respect to Swingline Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, to the extent notice is provided after 11:00 a.m., Local Time, within one Business Day) as provided above, to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans in the currency of such Swingline Loan. 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. 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. 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 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis 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. The Administrative Agent shall notify the U.S. Borrower 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. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the U.S. Borrower or the Belgian Borrower (or other Person on behalf of such 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 U.S. Borrower or the Belgian Borrower for any reason. 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.

SECTION 2.05 Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, and any other terms and conditions which the applicable Issuing Bank may reasonably require, the Borrower Representative may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account or, so long as the U.S. Borrower is a joint and several co-applicant with respect thereto, the account of any Restricted Subsidiary, denominated in Dollars and in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period. The U.S. Borrower and the Belgian Borrower, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably agree that, in connection with any Letter of Credit issued for the account of any Restricted Subsidiary that is, in the case of the Belgian Borrower, a Subsidiary of the Belgian Borrower, as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph, it will be fully responsible for the reimbursement of LC Disbursements, the payment of interest thereon and the payment of fees due under Section 2.12(b) to the same extent as if it were the sole account party in respect of such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding anything contained in any letter of credit application furnished to any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, (i) all provisions of such letter of credit application purporting to grant liens in favor of the Issuing Bank to secure obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be disregarded, it being agreed that such obligations shall be secured to the extent provided in this Agreement and in the Security Documents, and (ii) in the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of such letter of credit application and the terms and conditions of this

Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Existing Letter of Credit that is outstanding on the Initial Funding Date shall, effective as of the Initial Funding Date and without any further action by the U.S. Borrower, be deemed a Letter of Credit for all purposes hereof and be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit, the Borrower Representative shall hand deliver or fax (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the recipient) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, a Letter of Credit Request requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be reasonably necessary to enable the applicable Issuing Bank to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower Representative also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any such request. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon each issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the LC Exposure will not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, (ii) the LC Exposure of any Issuing Bank will not exceed the applicable Specified L/C Sublimit of such Issuing Bank and (iii) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure will not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment. Each Issuing Bank agrees that it shall not permit any issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit to occur unless it shall have given to the Administrative Agent written notice thereof required under paragraph (l) of this Section.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date; provided any Letter of Credit may expire after such date with the consent of the applicable Issuing Bank and if such Letter of Credit is cash collateralized or backstopped from and after such date in a manner reasonably agreed to by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (it being understood that each Lender’s participation obligations with respect to any Letter of Credit shall terminate upon the latest Revolving Maturity Date applicable to such Lender unless otherwise consented to by such Lender); provided that any Letter of Credit may contain customary automatic renewal provisions agreed upon by the applicable Borrower and the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to which the expiration date of such Letter of Credit shall automatically be extended for a period of up to 12 months (but not to a date later than the date set forth in clause (ii) above), subject to a right on the part of such Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal from occurring by giving notice to the beneficiary in advance of any such renewal; and provided further that if there exist any Extended Revolving Commitments having a

maturity date later than the Revolving Maturity Date (the “Subsequent Maturity Date”), then, so long as the aggregate LC Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit expiring after the Revolving Maturity Date will not exceed the lesser of the Letter of Credit Sublimit and the aggregate amount of such Extended Revolving Commitments, the Borrower Representative may request the issuance of a Letter of Credit that shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (A) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (B) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Subsequent Maturity Date.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender, the Issuing Bank that is the issuer thereof hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. 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 Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit 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. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or 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. 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.

(e) Disbursements. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit and shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic delivery) 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 the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Reimbursements. If an Issuing Bank shall make an LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such LC Disbursement and of the date and amount thereof and the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 2:00 p.m. on the day that is one Business Day after the day of such LC Disbursement (in each case, the “Required Reimbursement Date”); provided that the Borrower Representative may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in

accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or a Swingline Loan and, to the extent so financed, the applicable Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan and unless the applicable Borrower shall have, by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Required Reimbursement Date, given a notice to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank that the applicable Borrower intends to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for the LC Disbursement with funds other than from the proceeds of an ABR Revolving Borrowing or a Swingline Loan, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have requested an ABR Borrowing in the amount of such LC Disbursement, plus interest payable thereon pursuant to Section 2.05(h). If the applicable Borrower subsequently fails to reimburse any LC Disbursement by the time specified above, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of such failure, the payment then due from the applicable Borrower in respect of the applicable LC Disbursement and such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the amount then due from the applicable Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this paragraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the applicable 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. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for an LC Disbursement (other than the funding of an ABR Revolving Borrowing 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.

(g) Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s 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 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 or (iv) 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 Borrower’s obligations hereunder. 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 applicable Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. 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, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, 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) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the Required Reimbursement Date, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the Required Reimbursement Date to but excluding the date that such Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement in full, whether with its own funds or with proceeds from a Revolving Borrowing (including any ABR Revolving Borrowing deemed requested pursuant to Section 2.05(f)) or a Swingline Loan, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 2.05(f), then Section 2.13(c) shall apply. 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 for the account of such 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.

(i) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower Representative receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, a Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the applicable Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that 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 a Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01. The applicable Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral in accordance with this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.11(b) or 2.20. Each such deposit shall

be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the applicable Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. 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 Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders), be applied to satisfy other obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement. If the applicable 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 the date on which all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If the applicable Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11(b), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Aggregate Revolving Exposure would not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment and no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(j) Designation of Additional Issuing Banks. The Borrower Representative may, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more Revolving Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below. 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 Borrower Representative, 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 to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such Revolving Lender in its capacity as an issuer of Letters of Credit hereunder.

(k) Termination of an Issuing Bank. The Borrower Representative may terminate the appointment of any Issuing Bank as an “Issuing Bank” hereunder by providing a written notice thereof to such Issuing Bank, with a copy to the Administrative Agent. 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 or such Letters of Credit have been backstopped, novated or cash collateralized in a manner that is in form and substance satisfactory to such Issuing Bank. At the time any such termination shall become effective, the U.S. Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the terminated Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). 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.

(l) Issuing Bank Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section, report in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative (i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Administrative Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancelations 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 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 each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date and amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which the applicable Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank when due pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section 2.05, the date of such failure and the amount of such LC Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent or the Borrower Representative shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

(m) LC Exposure Determination. 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, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at the time of determination.

(n) Resignation as Issuing Bank After Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time an Issuing Bank assigns all of its Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 9.04, such Issuing Bank may, upon 30 days’ notice to the U.S. Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, resign as Issuing Bank; provided that a successor Issuing Bank shall have agreed to assume the resigning Issuing Bank’s Specified L/C Sublimit. If an Issuing Bank resigns as Issuing Bank, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Bank and all Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. Upon the appointment of a successor Issuing Bank, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank, and (b) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the resigning Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the resigning Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

SECTION 2.06 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., Local Time (and, on the Initial Funding Date, by as soon as possible after 10:00 a.m. (and by no later than 12 noon, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied by such time), Local Time), to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make the proceeds of all other Loans hereunder available to the U.S. Borrower or the Belgian Borrower, as applicable, by promptly remitting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account specified by the Borrower Representative in the applicable Borrowing Request or, in the case of Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans (including any deemed ABR Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(f)) made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(f), to the Issuing Bank that has made such LC Disbursement.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance on such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, 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 or (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.07 Interest Elections.

(a) Each Revolving Borrowing and Term Borrowing initially shall be of the Type and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in the applicable Borrowing Request or as otherwise provided in Section 2.03 or Section 2.05(f). Thereafter, the Borrower Representative may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type (in the case of Dollar denominated Borrowings) or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower Representative may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower Representative were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic delivery to the Administrative Agent of an executed written Interest Election Request. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(c) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the applicable Class of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(d) If the Borrower Representative fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall (i) in the case of a Term Borrowing or Revolving Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency, be continued as a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing for an additional Interest Period of one month or (ii) in the case of a Revolving Borrowing denominated in Dollars, be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default under clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing with respect to a Borrower, or if any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of a Majority in Interest of Lenders of any Class, has notified the Borrowers of the election to give effect to this sentence on account of such other Event of Default, then, in each such case, so long as such Event of Default is continuing, (i) no outstanding Borrowing of such Class denominated in Dollars may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing, (ii) no outstanding Loans denominated in any currency other

than Dollars may be continued for an Interest Period of more than one month’s duration and (iii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing of such Class denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.08 Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Unless previously terminated, (i) the Commitments shall terminate on July 1, 2016 if the Initial Funding Date has not occurred on or prior to such date, (ii) the Initial Term Commitments shall automatically terminate at the Initial Funding Date, (iii) any Incremental Term Commitment shall terminate on the date set forth in the Incremental Facility Agreement relating thereto, (iv) except with respect to Extended Revolving Commitments, the Revolving Commitments shall automatically terminate at the Revolving Maturity Date and (v) any Extended Revolving Commitments shall automatically terminate on the relevant Maturity Date for the Extension Series of such Extended Revolving Commitments.

(b) Subject to Section 2.22 in the case of any reduction or termination of Revolving Commitments, the Borrower Representative may at any time terminate, or from time to time permanently reduce, the Commitments of any Class, as determined by the Borrower Representative, in whole or in part either (i) ratably among Classes or (ii) if not inconsistent with the Extension Amendment relating to Extended Revolving Commitments, first to the Commitments with respect to any Existing Revolving Commitments and second to such Extended Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) with respect to the Revolving Commitments of any Class, any such termination or reduction shall apply ratably to reduce the Revolving Commitment of each of the Revolving Lenders of such Class, (ii) each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum and (iii) the Borrower Representative shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments of any Class if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans of such Class in accordance with Section 2.11, the Revolving Exposure of any Lender of such Class would exceed its Revolving Commitment of such Class.

(c) The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the applicable Class of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower Representative pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower Representative (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent.

SECTION 2.09 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The U.S. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each

Revolving Loan made to the U.S. Borrower (other than an Extended Revolving Loan) of such Lender on the Revolving Maturity Date, (ii) with respect to any tranche of Incremental Term Loans, to the Administrative Agent for the account of each applicable Incremental Term Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Incremental Term Loan of such tranche of such Incremental Term Lender on the relevant Maturity Date for such tranche of Incremental Term Loans, (iii) with respect to any Extension Series of Extended Term Loans, to the Administrative Agent for the account of each applicable Extending Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Extended Term Loan of such Extension Series on the relevant Maturity Date for such Extension Series of Extended Term Loans, (iv) with respect to any Extension Series of Extended Revolving Commitments, of each Extended Revolving Loan made to the U.S. Borrower of such Extension Series on the relevant Maturity Date for such Extension Series of Extended Revolving Commitments, (v) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Initial Term Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Initial Term Loan (other than any Extended Term Loan) of such Initial Term Lender as provided in Section 2.10 and (vi) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan made to the U.S. Borrower on the earlier of the Revolving Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least five Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made to the U.S. Borrower, the U.S. Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans made to the U.S. Borrower that were outstanding on the date such Borrowing was requested. The U.S. Borrower and the Belgian Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally promise to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan made to the Belgian Borrower (other than an Extended Revolving Loan) of such Lender on the Revolving Maturity Date, (ii) with respect to any Extension Series of Extended Revolving Commitments, of each Extended Revolving Loan made to the Belgian Borrower of such Extension Series on the relevant Maturity Date for such Extension Series of Extended Revolving Commitments and (iii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan made to the Belgian Borrower on the earlier of the Revolving Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least five Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made to the Belgian Borrower, the U.S. Borrower and the Belgian Borrower, jointly and severally, shall repay all Swingline Loans made to the Belgian Borrower that were outstanding on the date such Borrowing was requested.

(b) The records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrowers in respect of the Loans, LC Disbursements, interest and fees due or accrued hereunder; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to pay any amounts due hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender or its registered assigns and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be

represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns.

SECTION 2.10 Amortization of Term Loans.

(a) Subject to adjustment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, the U.S. Borrower shall repay Initial Term Loans and Incremental Term A Loans on the last day of each full fiscal quarter ending after the secondthird anniversary of the Initial Funding Date in the principal amount of Initial Term Loans and Incremental Term A Loans equal to (i) the sum of (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Initial Term Loans immediately after closing on the Initial Funding Date and (y) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Incremental Term A Loans immediately after the funding thereof on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date multiplied by (ii) the percentage set forth below:



Period		Term Loan Repayment Percentage Per Quarter
The four full fiscal quarters immediately following the secondthird anniversary of the Initial Funding Date		1.25%
The four full fiscal quarters immediately following the thirdfourth anniversary of the Initial Funding Date		1.25%
The four full fiscal quarters immediately following the fourthfifth anniversary of the Initial Funding Date		2.501.25%
The threeEach full fiscal quarters immediatelyquarter following the fifthsixth anniversary of the Initial Funding Date		2.501.25%

To the extent not previously paid, all Initial Term Loans and Incremental Term A Loans shall be due and payable on the Initial Term Maturity Date.

(b) In the event any Incremental Term Loans are made, such Incremental Term Loans shall mature and be repaid in amounts and on dates as agreed between the U.S. Borrower and the relevant Incremental Term Lenders in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement, subject to the requirements set forth in Section 2.21. In the event any Extended Term Loans are established, such Extended Term Loans shall mature and be repaid in the amounts and on the dates set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment, subject to the requirements set forth in Section 2.22.

(c) Any voluntary prepayment of a Term Borrowing of any Class made pursuant to Section 2.11(a) shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of Term Borrowings of such Class in such order as the U.S. Borrower may determine; provided that the U.S. Borrower may not voluntarily prepay Extended Term Loans of any Extension Series pursuant to Section 2.11(a) unless such prepayment is accompanied by at least a pro rata prepayment, based upon the outstanding principal amounts owing under such Class, of Initial

Term Loans of the Class of Initial Term Loans from which such Extended Term Loans were converted (or such Initial Term Loans of such Class have otherwise been repaid in full). For the avoidance of doubt, the U.S. Borrower may voluntarily prepay Initial Term Loans of any Class pursuant to Section 2.11(a) without any requirement to prepay Extended Term Loans that were converted from the Initial Term Loans of such Class.

(d) Any mandatory prepayment of a Term Borrowing of any Class required by Section 2.11 shall be allocated to the Classes of Term Loans outstanding, pro rata, based upon the outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans of each Class (unless any Incremental Facility Agreement contemplates that any Incremental Term Loans or Refinanced Term Loans, as applicable, established thereby shall share in any mandatory prepayments of Term Borrowings required by Section 2.11 on less than a pro rata basis with any other Term Loans, in which case such mandatory prepayment shall be allocated to such Class of Term Loans as provided in such any Incremental Facility Agreement), and shall be applied pro rata to the Lenders of each Class, based upon the outstanding principal amounts owing under each such Class of Term Loans; provided that, with respect to the allocation of such prepayments between Initial Term Loans and Extended Term Loans of the same Extension Series, the U.S. Borrower may, to the extent not inconsistent with any Extension Amendment relating to Extended Term Loans of any Extension Series, allocate such prepayments as the U.S. Borrower may specify, so long as the U.S. Borrower shall not allocate to Extended Term Loans of any Extension Series any mandatory prepayment unless such prepayment is accompanied by at least a pro rata prepayment, based upon the outstanding principal amounts owing under such Class, of Initial Term Loans of the Class of Initial Term Loans from which such Extended Term Loans were converted (or such Initial Term Loans of such Class have otherwise been repaid in full).

(e) Mandatory prepayments required by Section 2.11, within any Class of Term Loans (other than Incremental Term Loans of any Series), shall be applied on a pro rata basis to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Term Borrowings of such Class. Mandatory prepayments required by Section 2.11, within any Series of Incremental Term Loans, shall be applied to reduce the remaining subsequent scheduled repayments of Incremental Term Loans of such Series as shall be specified therefor in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement for such Series.

(f) In the event that Term Loans of any Class are purchased or acquired by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to Purchase Offers under Section 2.23, then the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Term Borrowings of such Class to be made will not be reduced or otherwise affected by such transaction (except to the extent that the final scheduled payment shall be reduced thereby).

SECTION 2.11 Prepayment of Loans.

(a) Each Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section.

(b) In the event and on each occasion that (i) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, the applicable Borrower shall prepay Revolving Borrowings or Swingline Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash

collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.05(i)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess, (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure denominated in any Alternative Currency exceeds the Alternative Currency Sublimit for such currency, the applicable Borrower shall, prepay Revolving Borrowings or Swingline Borrowings denominated in such Alternative Currency in an aggregate amount equal to such excess or (iii) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure attributable to Borrowings by the Belgian Borrower exceeds the Belgian Borrower Sublimit, the Belgian Borrower shall prepay Revolving Borrowings or Swingline Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(c) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the U.S. Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event, the U.S. Borrower shall, not later than the date of prepayment required by paragraph (d) of this Section, prepay Term Borrowings in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds (or such lesser amount required by paragraph (d) of this Section); provided that, if the U.S. Borrower shall, prior to the date of the required prepayment, deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the U.S. Borrower to the effect that the U.S. Borrower intends to cause the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof specified in such certificate) to be applied within one year after receipt of such Net Proceeds to be reinvested in the business of the U.S. Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (in the case of reinvestments in assets of Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Loan Parties, in accordance with the applicable limitations of Article VI), or to consummate any Permitted Acquisition permitted hereunder, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of the Net Proceeds from such event (or the portion of such Net Proceeds specified in such certificate, if applicable) except to the extent of any such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied by the end of such one-year period (or if by the end of such initial one-year period the U.S. Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall have entered into a binding agreement with a third party to reinvest, or to consummate such Permitted Acquisition, with such Net Proceeds in accordance with the applicable provisions of Article VI, such Net Proceeds have not been so applied within a period of 180 days after the date of such binding agreement), at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to the Net Proceeds that have not been so applied.

(d) With respect to each such prepayment required by Section 2.11(c) as a result of a Prepayment Event, (i) no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Net Proceeds of such Prepayment Event, the U.S. Borrower will give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice thereof (promptly confirmed in writing), and the Administrative Agent will promptly provide such notice to each Lender of Term Loans, (ii) each such Lender will have the right to refuse any such prepayment by giving written notice of such refusal to the Administrative Agent within three Business Days after such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent of such prepayment (such refused amounts, the “Refused Proceeds”), and (iii) the U.S. Borrower will make all such prepayments not so refused upon the fifth Business Day after such Lenders receive first notice of repayment from the Administrative Agent, and any Refused Proceeds may be retained by the U.S. Borrower (it being understood that if no Term Loans are outstanding at the time the notice referenced in clause (i) above would otherwise be required to be delivered, such prepayment shall automatically be deemed Refused Proceeds without any further action by the U.S. Borrower for purposes of this Section 2.11(d)).

(e) [Reserved].

(f) Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings under this Section, the Borrower Representative shall specify the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid in the notice of such prepayment delivered pursuant to paragraph (g) of this Section.

(g) The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic delivery) of any repayment, any optional prepayment and, to the extent practicable (and, in the case of prepayments required pursuant to Section 2.11(c), subject to Section 2.11(d)), any mandatory prepayment under Section 2.10 or 2.11, as applicable, (i) in the case of repayment or prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing denominated in Dollars, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days before the date of repayment or prepayment, (ii) in the case of repayment or prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of repayment or prepayment, (iii) in the case of repayment or prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of repayment or prepayment or (iv) in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency, not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, three Business Days before the date or repayment or prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the repayment or prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be repaid or prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, to the extent practicable, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that (A) if a notice of optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08 and (B) a notice of prepayment of Term Borrowings may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower Representative (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans), the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the applicable Class of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Repayment and prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any portion of any Foreign Source Prepayment attributable to any Foreign Subsidiary cannot be made when due other than with the proceeds of a dividend from such Foreign Subsidiary (or of a dividend from another Foreign Subsidiary of which the first Foreign Subsidiary is a direct or indirect subsidiary) that would result in a material adverse tax liability to the U.S. Borrower, then the requirement to make a prepayment with such portion shall be deferred until such time as such prepayment can be made with funds of the U.S. Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries that are available without resort to such a dividend. “Foreign Source Prepayment” means, for any Foreign Subsidiary, any Net Proceeds arising from a Prepayment Event under paragraph (a) or (b) of the definition of Prepayment Event in respect of any asset of such Foreign Subsidiary.

SECTION 2.12 Fees.

(a) The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate per annum on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Initial Funding Date to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Initial Funding Date. All such Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing Commitment Fees, a Revolving Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose).

(b) Each Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans on the daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Initial Funding Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at a rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Initial Funding Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any such LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Initial Funding Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 Business Days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between such Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to an Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to

it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Revolving Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.13 Interest.

(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including such Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at the Eurocurrency Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by a Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of a Revolving Loan, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan of any Class:

(i) (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period; or

(ii) (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by a Majority in Interest of the Lenders of such Class that the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Eurocurrency Rate Loan for such Interest Period or that deposits in the currency of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan are not being offered to banks in the applicable London interbank market for the applicable amount and the Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice (which may be telephonic) thereof to the Borrower Representative and the Lenders of such Class as promptly as practicable. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans in such currency (other than outstanding Term Loans) shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower Representative may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, failing that, (i) in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) in the case of a Revolving Loan to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars, such Revolving Loan shall be made in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent amount of the requested Borrowing.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination (which determination shall be made by notice to the Borrower Representative), or the Borrower Representative or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower Representative) that the Borrower Representative or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that (i) the circumstances described in Section 2.14(a)(i) or (a)(ii) have arisen and that such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) syndicated loans in the U.S. market in the applicable currency being executed at the time, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 2.14(b), are being generally executed or amended, as applicable, to incorporate or adopt, as applicable, a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR for the applicable currency or any other applicable interest rate specified herein, or (iii) the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of LIBOR for the applicable currency or any other applicable interest rate specified herein, or any Governmental Authority having, or purporting to have, jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR for the applicable currency or such other applicable interest rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining interest rates for loans in the syndicated loan market in the applicable currency, then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative may amend this Agreement and any other Loan Documents and enter into additional Loan Documents (any such amendment or additional Loan Document, a “Replacement Rate Amendment”) as the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative deem appropriate to replace the Eurocurrency Rate with respect to the applicable currency, or such other applicable interest rate, as applicable, with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar syndicated credit facilities in the U.S. market denominated in the applicable currency

(including, without limitation, credit facilities in which the Administrative Agent is serving as administrative agent) for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, the “Replacement Rate”), together with any proposed Replacement Rate Conforming Changes, and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of such amendment to the Lenders, written notices from Lenders that in the aggregate constitute Required Lenders, with each such notice stating that such Lender objects to such amendment. To the extent a Replacement Rate is approved by the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent in connection with this clause (b), the Replacement Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that, in each case, to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Replacement Rate shall be applied as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent (it being understood that any such modification by the Administrative Agent shall not require the consent of, or consultation with, any of the Lenders).

SECTION 2.15 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Eurocurrency Rate);

(ii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(iii) subject any Credit Party to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes) in respect of its loans, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or other Credit Party of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), to increase the cost to such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Credit Party of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or issue any Letter of Credit) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Credit Party hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, following receipt of a certificate pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Credit Party, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Credit Party, as the case may be, for such additional costs or expenses incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank reasonably determines that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements has had or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or

Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then, following receipt of a certificate pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) If any Lender or Issuing Bank is claiming compensation under this Section 2.15, it shall deliver to the Borrower Representative a certificate setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, and the basis for the calculation thereof as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or expenses incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert or continue any Eurocurrency Rate Loan on the date specified in any notice (including any telephonic notice) delivered or made pursuant hereto (including as a result of the revocation of any such notice), (d) the failure to prepay any Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a date specified therefor in any notice of prepayment given by the Borrower Representative (whether or not such notice may be revoked in accordance with the terms hereof) or (e) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19 or pursuant to Section 2.21(e), then, in any such event, such Borrower shall after receipt of a written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount and, absent manifest error, the amount requested shall be conclusive) compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event, but excluding any losses of anticipated profits. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the

amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan (but not including the Applicable Rate applicable thereto), for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London interbank market, but shall exclude any losses of anticipated profits. A certificate of any Lender delivered to the Borrower Representative and setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.17 Taxes.

(a) Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up. Each payment by or on behalf of a Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by any applicable Requirements of Law. If any Withholding Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold any Taxes, then such Withholding Agent may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.17), the applicable Lender (or in the case of a payment made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Each Borrower shall timely pay all Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law; provided that the Belgian Borrower shall not be required to pay any Other Taxes attributable to any Loans made to the U.S. Borrower.

(c) Evidence of Payment. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, such Loan Party 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.

(d) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Credit Party for any Indemnified Taxes that are paid or payable by such Credit Party (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts paid or payable under this Section 2.17) 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; provided that the Belgian Borrower shall not be required to indemnify for any Indemnified Taxes attributable to any Loans made to the U.S. Borrower. The indemnity

under this paragraph shall be paid within 20 days after the Credit Party delivers to any Loan Party a certificate stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so paid or payable by such Credit Party and describing the basis for the indemnification claim. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. Such Credit Party shall deliver a copy of such certificate to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any documentation previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.17(e). If any documentation previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.17(e) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the documentation to the extent it is legally eligible to do so.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto, two duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable (and any additional number of copies as is reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent):

(A) in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax;

(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender for whom payments under any Loan Document constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States of America, IRS Form W-8ECI;

(D) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, and (2) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit X-0, Xxxxxxx X-0, Xxxxxxx X-0 or Exhibit L-4 (each, a “U.S. Tax Certificate”), as applicable, to the effect that such Lender is not (x) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (y) a “10 percent shareholder” of the U.S. Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (z) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no payments in connection with the Loan Documents are effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business;

(E) in the case of a Foreign Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under any Loan Document (including a partnership or a participating Lender), (1) IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (F) of this paragraph (e)(ii) that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; provided that if such Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Certificate on behalf of such partners;

(F) in the case that any form referred to in clauses (A) through (E) of this paragraph is succeeded by a successor form, such successor form;

(G) any other form prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax, together with such supplementary documentation as shall be necessary to enable the Borrowers and/or the Administrative Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld; or

(H) in respect of interest payments made by the Belgian Borrower to any Lender, in case an exemption of interest withholding tax provided by a double tax treaty concluded by Belgium and the state of residence of such Lender is relied upon, a validly executed Belgian 276 Int. Aut. Certificate.

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this

Section 2.17(e)(iii), the term “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Signing Date.

(iv) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.17(e).

(v) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.17(e), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation pursuant to this Section 2.17(e) that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Credit 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 2.17 (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.17), 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 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such Credit 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 Credit Party, shall repay to such Credit Party the amount paid to such Credit Party pursuant to the prior sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such Credit Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.17(f), in no event will any Credit Party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.17(f) if such payment would place such Credit Party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such Credit 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 Section 2.17(f) shall not be construed to require any Credit 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.

(g) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.17, for the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” shall include each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender, and the term “Requirements of Law” shall include FATCA.

SECTION 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time in the case of Borrowings denominated in Dollars and prior to 2:00 p.m., Local Time in the case of Borrowings denominated in an Alternative Currency), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without any defense, setoff, recoupment or counterclaim. 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. All such payments shall be made to such account as

may be specified by the Administrative Agent, except that payments required to be made directly to any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender shall be so made, payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payment received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. 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. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent in such Alternative Currency and all other payments under each Loan Document shall be made in Dollars.

(b) 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 towards payment of the amounts then due hereunder ratably among the parties entitled thereto, in accordance with the amounts then due to such parties.

(c) Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be disproportionately allocated to or retained by a particular Lender or group of Lenders (including in connection with the payment of principal, interest or fees in different amounts or at different rates and the repayment of principal amounts of Loans at different times as a result of Extension Amendments, Incremental Facility Agreements, purchases of Term Loans pursuant to Purchase Offers under Section 2.23 or non-ratable prepayments of Classes of Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(c)), each Lender agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion 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 a Borrower 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 from time to time). 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 such Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or Issuing Banks hereunder that the applicable 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 Lenders or Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the 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 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 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.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder to or for the account of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations in respect of such payment until all such unsatisfied obligations have been discharged or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender pursuant to Sections 2.04(c), 2.05(d), 2.05(f), 2.06(b), 2.18(c), 2.18(d) and 9.03(c), in each case in such order as shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any amounts paid by a Loan Party for the account of a Lender that are applied or held pursuant to this Section 2.18(e) shall be deemed paid by such Loan Party to such Lender.

SECTION 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall (at the request of either Borrower) 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 reasonably be expected to eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, 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. The applicable Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, (ii) a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the

account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, (iii) any Lender has become a Defaulting Lender or (iv) any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that under Section 9.02 requires the consent of all the Lenders (or all the affected Lenders or all the Lenders of the affected Class) and with respect to which the Required Lenders (or, in circumstances where Section 9.02 does not require the consent of the Required Lenders, a Majority in Interest of the Lenders of the affected Class) shall have granted their consent, then such Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (or, in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a failure to provide a consent, all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement 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 Borrower Representative shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and, if applicable, participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, (if applicable, in each case only to the extent such amounts relate to its interest as a Lender of a particular Class) from the assignee (in the case of such principal and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (C) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, it can reasonably be expected that such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (D) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from the failure to provide a consent, the assignee shall have given such consent. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment and delegation required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment and delegation need not be a party thereto.

SECTION 2.20 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a);

(i) the Revolving Commitment and Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or any other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that any amendment, waiver or other modification

requiring the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof;

(ii) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time such Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(iii) the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (with the term “Applicable Percentage” meaning, with respect to any Lender for purposes of reallocations to be made pursuant to this paragraph (c), the percentage of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment represented by such Lender’s Revolving Commitment at the time of such reallocation calculated disregarding the Revolving Commitments of the Defaulting Lenders at such time) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the Aggregate Revolving Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment;

(iv) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (A) first, prepay the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure that has not been reallocated and (B) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure that has not been reallocated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(i) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(v) if a Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, such Borrower shall not be required to pay participation fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure for so long as such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(vi) if any portion of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.12(a) and 2.12(b) shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation; and

(vii) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all participation fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks (and allocated among them ratably based on the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank) until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(b) so long as such Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, unless in each case it is reasonably satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure, as applicable, will be fully covered by the Revolving Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and participating interests in any such funded Swingline Loan or in any such issued, amended, reviewed or extended Letter of Credit will be allocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank each agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender (a “Restored Lender”), then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Revolving Lenders shall be reallocated in accordance with their Applicable Percentages and on such date such Restored Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Restored Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage (with the term “Applicable Percentage” meaning, with respect to any Lender for purposes of reallocations to be made pursuant to this paragraph, the percentage of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment represented by such Lender’s Revolving Commitment at the time of such reallocation calculated including the Revolving Commitment of such Restored Lender but disregarding the Revolving Commitments of the Defaulting Lenders at such time). Subject to Section 9.20, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

SECTION 2.21 Incremental Facilities.

(a) The Borrowers may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request (i) one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Commitments of any Class (each such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase”) and/or (ii) the establishment of Incremental Term Commitments for the U.S. Borrower; provided that the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate amount of all the Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases and Incremental Term Commitments to be established hereunder following the Amendment No. 12 Effective Date shall not exceed the greater of (A) the Incremental Base Amount as of such date and (B) assuming that the full amount of such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases and/or Incremental Term Commitments, and all previously established Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases and Incremental Term Commitments then in effect, shall have been funded as Loans on such date, an additional aggregate amount, such that, after giving Pro Forma Effect to the establishment of any Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases and/or Incremental Term Commitments and the use of proceeds thereof, the Borrowers shall be in Pro Forma Compliance, recomputed as of the

last day of the most recently ended Test Period for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b) (or, prior to the delivery of any such financial statements, the last day of the last fiscal quarter included in the Pro Forma Financial Statements), with a Senior Secured Leverage Ratio that is no greater than 2.50:1.00. Each such notice shall specify (A) the date on which the applicable Borrower proposes that the Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases or the Incremental Term Commitments, as applicable, shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and (B) the amount of the Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase or Incremental Term Commitments, as applicable, being requested (it being agreed that (x) any Lender approached to provide any Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase or Incremental Term Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase or Incremental Term Commitments, (y) the Borrowers shall not be required to approach existing Lenders first to provide any Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase or Incremental Term Commitment or offer any existing Lenders a right of first refusal to provide any Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase or Incremental Term Commitment and (z) any Person that the applicable Borrower proposes to become a Lender under any Incremental Term Commitment or Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase, if such Person is not then a Lender, must be an Eligible Assignee and, if any consent of the Administrative Agent would be required for an assignment of Loans or Commitment to such Lender, must be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any proposed Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase, if any consent of each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender would be required for an assignment of Revolving Loans or a Revolving Commitment to such Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender).

(b) The terms and conditions of any Loans and Commitments pursuant to any Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase shall be the same as those of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans of the Class that is being increased and shall be treated as a single Class with such Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans; provided that any interest margins, commitment fees, pricing and rate floors applicable to any Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase may exceed the interest margins, commitment fees, pricing and rate floors payable with respect to the Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Commitments pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, as amended through the date of such calculation, in which case the Applicable Rate and/or the fee payable pursuant to Section 2.12(a), in each case as in effect for the other Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments, shall be automatically increased to eliminate such excess (it being understood that additional upfront or similar fees may be payable to the Lenders participating in such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase without any requirement to pay such amounts to any existing Revolving Lenders). The terms and conditions of any Incremental Term Commitments and the Incremental Term Loans to be made thereunder shall be set forth in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement and shall be identical to those of the Term Commitments and the Term Loans (other than with respect to maturity, amortization, prepayment, fees and pricing, which shall be, subject to the following proviso, determined by the applicable Borrowers and the Lenders thereunder as set forth in documentation to be determined by the Borrowers and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent); provided that (A) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the longest remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Class of Term

Loans then outstanding, (B) no Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date shall be earlier than the latest Maturity Date then in effect, (C) any Incremental Term Loans may participate in any mandatory prepayment under Sections 2.11(c) and (e) on a pro rata basis (or on less than pro rata basis), but not on a greater than pro rata basis with the other Term Loans, (D) any Incremental Term Loan shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Initial Term Loans and shall be secured only by the Collateral securing the Obligations, (E) any Incremental Term Loan shall be denominated in Dollars and (F) any Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant shall be permitted so long as the Administrative Agent shall be given prompt written notice thereof and this Agreement is amended to include such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant for the benefit of all Lenders. Any Incremental Term Commitments established pursuant to an Incremental Facility Agreement that have identical terms and conditions, and any Incremental Term Loans made thereunder, may be (x) designated as a separate Series of Incremental Term Commitments and Incremental Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement or (y) effected as an increase to an existing Class of Term Loans.

(c) The Incremental Term Commitments and any Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase shall be effected pursuant to one or more Incremental Facility Agreements executed and delivered by the applicable Borrower, each Incremental Lender providing such Incremental Term Commitments or Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase, as the case may be, and the Administrative Agent; provided that no Incremental Term Commitments or Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases shall become effective unless:

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of effectiveness thereof, both immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Term Commitments or Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases and the making of Loans and issuance of Letters of Credit thereunder to be made on such date;

(ii) on the date of effectiveness thereof, both immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Term Commitments or Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases and the making of Loans and issuance of Letters of Credit thereunder to be made on such date, the representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct (A) in the case of the representations and warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects and (B) otherwise, in all material respects, in each case on and as of such date, except in the case of any such representation and warranty that expressly relates to a prior date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be so true and correct on and as of such prior date; provided that in the case of any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase used to finance an acquisition permitted hereunder and whose consummation is not conditioned upon the availability of, or on obtaining, third party financing, to the extent the Lenders participating in such Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase agree, this clause (ii) shall require only customary “specified representations” and “acquisition agreement representations” requested by the applicable Incremental Lenders;

(iii) after giving Pro Forma Effect to the establishment of any Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase or Incremental Term Commitment, the incurrence of

any Loans thereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof, and assuming that the full amount of such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases and/or Incremental Term Commitments shall have been funded as Loans on such date, the Borrowers shall be in Pro Forma Compliance with each Financial Maintenance Covenant, recomputed as of the last day of the most recently ended Test Period for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b) (or, prior to the delivery of any such financial statements, the last day of the last fiscal quarter included in the Pro Forma Financial Statements);

(iv) the applicable Borrower shall make any payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16 in connection with such Incremental Term Commitments or Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase and the related transactions under this Section.

Each Incremental Facility Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the provisions of this Section.

(d) Upon the effectiveness of an Incremental Term Commitment or Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase of any Incremental Lender, (i) such Incremental Lender shall be deemed to be a “Lender” (and a Lender in respect of Commitments and Loans of the applicable Class) hereunder, and henceforth shall be entitled to all the rights of, and benefits accruing to, Lenders (or Lenders in respect of Commitments and Loans of the applicable Class) hereunder and shall be bound by all agreements, acknowledgements and other obligations of Lenders (or Lenders in respect of Commitments and Loans of the applicable Class) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (ii) in the case of any Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase, (A) if the applicable Lender does not already have a Revolving Commitment, such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase shall constitute the Revolving Commitment of such Lender as provided in the Incremental Facility Agreement applicable to such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase, (B) if the applicable Lender already has a Revolving Commitment, the Revolving Commitment of such Lender shall be increased as provided in the Incremental Facility Agreement applicable to such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase and (C) the Aggregate Revolving Commitment shall be increased by the amount of such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase, in each case, subject to further increase or reduction from time to time as set forth in the definition of the term “Revolving Commitment.” For the avoidance of doubt, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase, the Revolving Exposure of the Revolving Lender making such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase, and the Applicable Percentage of all the Revolving Lenders, shall automatically be adjusted to give effect thereto.

(e) On the date of effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase, each Revolving Lender shall assign to each Revolving Lender making such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase, and each such Revolving Lender making such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase shall purchase from each Revolving Lender, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit outstanding on such date as shall be necessary in order that,

after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit will be held by all the Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their Applicable Percentages after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase.

(f) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement, each Lender holding an Incremental Term Commitment of any Series shall make a loan to the applicable Borrower in an amount equal to such Incremental Term Commitment on the date specified in such Incremental Facility Agreement.

(g) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of any notice from the applicable Borrower referred to in Section 2.21(a) and of the effectiveness of any Incremental Term Commitments, in each case advising the Lenders of the details thereof and, in the case of effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase, of the Applicable Percentages of the Revolving Lenders after giving effect thereto and of the assignments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.21(e).

SECTION 2.22 Extensions of Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments.

(a) (i) The U.S. Borrower may, subject to and in compliance with Section 2.22(b) below, request that all or a portion of each Term Loan of any Class (such Class, an “Existing Term Loan Class” and such Term Loans, “Existing Term Loans”) be converted to extend the scheduled final maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.22. Prior to entering into any Extension Amendment with respect to any Extended Term Loans, the U.S. Borrower shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Term Loan Class and which such request shall be offered equally to all such Lenders) (a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which terms shall be identical to the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class from which they are to be extended, except that (v) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended and all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of all or a portion of any principal amount of such Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class (with any such delay resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the scheduled amortization payments reflected in Section 2.10 or in the Incremental Facility Agreement, as the case may be, with respect to the Existing Term Loan Class from which such Extended Term Loans were extended, in each case as more particularly set forth in Section 2.22(c) below) (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class from which they are to be converted), (w)(A) the interest rates (including through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and premiums with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be different than those for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class and/or (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to or in lieu of any of the items contemplated by the preceding

clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, (x) subject to the provisions set forth in Sections 2.10 and 2.11, the Extended Term Loans may have optional and mandatory prepayment terms (including call protection and prepayment premiums) as may be agreed between the U.S. Borrower and the Lenders thereof; provided that such mandatory prepayment terms shall not provide for greater than pro rata prepayment with the Existing Term Loans, (y) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply to any period after the latest Maturity Date and (z) the terms of any Extended Term Loans may also contain other differences from the Existing Term Loan Class from which they are to be extended as are approved by the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, so long as such differences are not material and not adverse to the Lenders of such Existing Term Loan Class. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans from the Existing Term Loan Class of Term Loans from which they were converted.

(ii) The Borrower Representative may, subject to and in compliance with Section 2.22(b) below, request that all or a portion of the Revolving Commitments and/or Extended Revolving Commitments of any Class existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Revolving Commitment” and any related Revolving Loans under any such facility, “Existing Revolving Loans”; each Existing Revolving Commitment and related Existing Revolving Loans together being referred to as an “Existing Revolving Class”) be converted to extend the termination date thereof and the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of Loans related to such Existing Revolving Commitments (any such Existing Revolving Commitments which have been so extended, “Extended Revolving Commitments” and any related Loans, “Extended Revolving Loans”; each Extended Revolving Commitment and related Extended Revolving Loans together an “Extended Revolving Class”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.22. Prior to entering into any Extension Amendment with respect to any Extended Revolving Commitments, the Borrower Representative shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Class of Existing Revolving Commitments and which such request shall be offered equally to all such Lenders) (a “Revolving Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments to be established thereunder, which terms shall be identical to those applicable to the Existing Revolving Commitments from which they are to be extended except that (w) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended Revolving Commitments may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity dates of such Existing Revolving Class, (x)(A) the interest rates, interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and premiums with respect to the Extended Revolving Commitments may be different than those for such Existing Revolving Class and/or (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Commitments in addition to or in lieu of any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, (y)(A) the undrawn revolving commitment fee rate with respect to such Extended Revolving Class may be different than such rate for such Existing Revolving Class and (B) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply to any period after the latest Maturity Date and (z) the terms of any Extended Revolving Commitments may also contain other differences from the Class of Existing

Revolving Commitments from which they are to be extended as are approved by the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, so long as such differences are not material and not adverse to the Lenders of such Existing Revolving Commitment Class; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.22 or otherwise, (1) the borrowing and repayment (other than in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments, including at maturity of non-extended Revolving Commitments) of Loans with respect to any Extended Revolving Class shall be made on a pro rata basis with any borrowings and repayments of the Existing Revolving Loans of the Class of Existing Revolving Commitments from which they were extended (the mechanics for which may be implemented through the applicable Extension Amendment and may include technical changes related to the borrowing, replacement letter of credit and swingline procedures of such Existing Revolving Commitment Class), (2) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Commitments and Extended Revolving Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Existing Revolving Classes set forth in Section 9.04 and (3) subject to Section 2.08(b), permanent repayments of Extended Revolving Loans (and corresponding permanent reductions in the related Extended Revolving Commitments) shall be permitted as may be agreed between the applicable Borrower and the Lenders thereof. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments of any Existing Revolving Class converted into Extended Revolving Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Extended Revolving Commitments of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of Revolving Commitments from the Existing Revolving Commitments of the Existing Revolving Class from which they were converted and from any other Existing Revolving Commitments (together with any other Extended Revolving Commitments so established on such date).

(b) The Borrower Representative shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least 15 Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may determine in its reasonable discretion) prior to the expected date of any Extension Amendment, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably, to accomplish the purpose of this Section 2.22. Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Existing Term Loans or Revolving Commitments (or any earlier Extended Revolving Commitments) of an Existing Revolving Class subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, shall, within 10 Business Days (or such longer period as the U.S. Borrower may specify) of receipt of such Extension Request, notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) of the amount of its Term Loans and/or Revolving Commitments of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to such Extension Request that it has elected to convert into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent). In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments of the Existing Class subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans or Revolving Commitments of the Existing Class or Existing Classes shall be converted to Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments included in each such Extension Election (subject to rounding). Notwithstanding the conversion of any Existing Revolving

Commitment into an Extended Revolving Commitment, such Extended Revolving Commitment shall be treated identically to all other Revolving Commitments for purposes of the obligations of a Revolving Lender in respect of Swingline Loans under Section 2.04 and Letters of Credit under Section 2.05, except that the applicable Extension Amendment may provide that the date on which the Swingline Loan has to be repaid and/or the last day for issuing Letters of Credit may be extended and the related obligations to make Swingline Loans and issue Letters of Credit may be continued (pursuant to mechanics to be specified in the applicable Extension Amendment) so long as the applicable Swingline Lender and/or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, have consented to such extensions (it being understood that no consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with any such extension).

(c) Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this Section 2.22(c) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 9.02, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, established thereby) executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders. In addition to any terms and changes required or permitted by Section 2.22(a), each Extension Amendment (i) shall amend the scheduled amortization payments pursuant to Section 2.10 or the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement with respect to the Existing Class of Term Loans from which the Extended Term Loans were converted to reduce each scheduled repayment amount for the Existing Term Loan Class in the same proportion as the amount of Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class is to be converted pursuant to such Extension Amendment (it being understood that the amount of any repayment amount payable with respect to any individual Term Loan of such Existing Class that is not an Extended Term Loan shall not be reduced as a result thereof) and (ii) may amend this Agreement to ensure ratable participation in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans between Extended Revolving Commitments and Existing Revolving Commitments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.22 and without limiting the generality or applicability of Section 9.02 to any Section 2.22 Additional Amendments, any Extension Amendment may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to or contemplated above (any such additional amendment, a “Section 2.22 Additional Amendment”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such Section 2.22 Additional Amendments do not become effective prior to the time that such Section 2.22 Additional Amendments have been consented to (including, pursuant to (i) consents applicable to holders of Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases provided for in any Incremental Facility Agreement and (ii) consents applicable to holders of any Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments provided for in any Extension Amendment) by such of the Lenders, Loan Parties and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Section 2.22 Additional Amendments to become effective in accordance with Section 9.02. It is understood and agreed that each Lender hereunder has consented, and shall at the effective time thereof be deemed to consent to each amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents authorized by this Section 2.22 and the arrangements described above in connection therewith except that the foregoing shall not constitute a consent on behalf of any Lender to the terms of any Section 2.22 Additional Amendment. In connection with any Extension Amendment, the Borrower Representative shall deliver an opinion of counsel reasonably

acceptable to the Administrative Agent (i) as to the enforceability of such Extension Amendment, this Agreement as amended thereby, and such of the other Loan Documents (if any) as may be amended thereby (in the case of such other Loan Documents as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence) and (ii) covering such other matters as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection therewith.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) on any date on which any Existing Class is converted to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with paragraph (a) above (an “Extension Date”), (x) in the case of the Existing Term Loans of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such Existing Term Loans shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Term Loans so converted by such Lender on such date, and the Extended Term Loans shall be established as a separate Class of Term Loans (together with any other Extended Term Loans so established on such date), and (y) in the case of the Existing Revolving Commitments of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such corresponding Existing Revolving Commitments shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Revolving Commitments so converted by such Lender on such date (and any related participations shall be reduced proportionately), and such Extended Revolving Commitments shall be established as a separate Class of Revolving Commitments from the corresponding Existing Revolving Commitment Class and from any other Existing Revolving Commitments (together with any other Extended Revolving Commitments so established on such date) and (ii) if, on any Extension Date, any Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding under an applicable Extended Revolving Commitment, such Loans shall be deemed to be allocated as Extended Revolving Loans and Existing Revolving Loans in the same proportion as such Extending Lender’s Existing Revolving Commitments to Extended Revolving Commitments.

(e) In the event that the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion that the allocation of Extended Term Loans of a given Extension Series or the Extended Revolving Commitments of a given Extension Series, in each case to a given Lender, was incorrectly determined as a result of manifest administrative error in the receipt and processing of an Extension Election timely submitted by such Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment, then the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and such affected Lender may (and hereby are authorized to), in their sole discretion and without the consent of any other Lender, enter into an amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (each, a “Corrective Extension Amendment”) within 15 days following the effective date of such Extension Amendment, as the case may be, which Corrective Extension Amendment shall (i) provide for the conversion and extension of Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Class or Existing Revolving Commitments (and related Revolving Exposure), as the case may be, in such amount as is required to cause such Lender to hold Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments (and related Revolving Exposure) of the applicable Extension Series into which such other Term Loans or Revolving Commitments were initially converted, as the case may be, in the amount such Lender would have held had such administrative error not occurred and had such Lender received the minimum allocation of the applicable Loans or Commitments to which it was entitled under the terms of such Extension Amendment, in the absence of such error, (ii) be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and such Lender may agree (including conditions of the

type required to be satisfied for the effectiveness of an Extension Amendment described in Section 2.22(c)), and (iii) effect such other amendments of the type (with appropriate reference and nomenclature changes) described in the penultimate sentence of Section 2.22(c).

(f) No exchange or conversion of Loans or Commitments pursuant to any Extension Amendment in accordance with this Section 2.22 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.23 Loan Repurchases.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth or referred to below, the U.S. Borrower may from time to time, at its discretion, conduct modified Dutch auctions to make Purchase Offers, each such Purchase Offer to be managed exclusively by Xxxxx Fargo Securities, LLC or another investment bank of recognized standing selected by the U.S. Borrower following consultation with the Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Auction Manager”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) each Purchase Offer shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures, terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.23 and the Auction Procedures;

(ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of the delivery of each Auction Notice and at the time of purchase of any Term Loans in connection with any Purchase Offer;

(iii) the minimum principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Term Loans that the U.S. Borrower offers to purchase in any such Purchase Offer shall be no less than $1,000,000 (unless another amount is agreed to by the Administrative Agent);

(iv) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans of the applicable Class or Classes so purchased by the U.S. Borrower shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the U.S. Borrower on the settlement date of the relevant purchase (and may not be resold);

(v) no more than one Purchase Offer with respect to any Class may be ongoing at any one time and no more than four Purchase Offers (regardless of Class) may be made in any one year;

(vi) no purchase of any Term Loans in connection with any Purchase Offer may be financed using the proceeds of any Revolving Borrowing; and

(vii) at the time of each purchase of Term Loans through a Purchase Offer, the U.S. Borrower shall have delivered to the Auction Manager an officer’s certificate of a Financial Officer certifying as to compliance with preceding clause (ii).

(b) The U.S. Borrower must terminate any Purchase Offer if it fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise

would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to such Purchase Offer. If the U.S. Borrower commences any Purchase Offer (and all relevant requirements set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the commencement of such Purchase Offer have in fact been satisfied), and if at such time of commencement the U.S. Borrower reasonably believes that all required conditions set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the consummation of such Purchase Offer shall be satisfied, then the U.S. Borrower shall have no liability to any Lender for any termination of such Purchase Offer as a result of its failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of consummation of such Purchase Offer, and any such failure shall not result in any Default or Event of Default hereunder. With respect to all purchases of Term Loans of any Class or Classes made by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.23, (x) the U.S. Borrower shall pay on the settlement date of each such purchase all accrued and unpaid interest (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant offering documents), if any, on the purchased Term Loans of the applicable Class or Classes up to the settlement date of such purchase and (y) such purchases (and the payments made by the U.S. Borrower and the cancellation of the purchased Loans, in each case in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.11 or any other provision hereof.

(c) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Purchase Offers and the other transactions effected pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.23 (provided that no Lender shall have an obligation to participate in any such Purchase Offer). For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the provisions of Section 2.18 and Section 9.04 will not apply to the purchases of Term Loans pursuant to Purchase Offers made pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.23. The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Article VIII and Article IX to the same extent as if each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” were a reference to the Auction Manager, and the Administrative Agent shall cooperate with the Auction Manager as reasonably requested by the Auction Manager in order to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each Purchase Offer.

SECTION 2.24 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to perform any of its obligations hereunder or make, maintain or fund or charge interest with respect to any Loan or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower Representative through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Loan or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining ABR Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and

the Borrower Representative that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

proprietary database or other Intellectual Property that, individually or in the aggregate, is material to the business of the U.S. Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries (or to the business of the U.S. Borrower and the Domestic Subsidiaries) is owned by or licensed to the U.S. Borrower or another Loan Party.

SECTION 3.06 Litigation and Environmental Matters.

(a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the U.S. Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, threatened against or affecting the U.S. Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary that would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect (except as set forth on Schedule 3.06(a)).

SECTION 3.10 ERISA; Labor Matters.

(a) No ERISA Events have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur that would, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (i) each Plan is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other federal or state laws and, in each case, the regulations thereunder, (ii) no Plan has failed to satisfy its “minimum funding standard” (as defined in Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of

101

ERISA), whether or not waived, (iii) neither the U.S. Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Plan (other than premiums due and not delinquent under Section 4007 of ERISA), (iv) neither the U.S. Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability (and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would result in such liability) under Sections 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer Plan and (v) neither the U.S. Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA.

(b) As of the Signing Date and the Initial Funding Date, there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against the U.S. Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary pending or, to their knowledge, threatened, that have had, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of the U.S. Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable federal, state, local or foreign law relating to such matters, except for any violation or violations that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from the U.S. Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made against the U.S. Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as liabilities on the books of the U.S. Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, except for any failure to pay or accrete that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) As of the Amendment No. 12 Effective Date, the U.S. Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary is not and will not be (1) an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, (2) a plan or account subject to Section 4975 of the Code”; (3) an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” of any such plans or accounts for purposes of ERISA or the Code; or (4) a “governmental plan” within the meaning of ERISA.

The Equity Interests in each wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.11A, as of the Initial Funding Date, there is no existing option, warrant, call, right, commitment or other agreement to which the U.S. Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary is a party requiring, and there are no Equity Interests in any Restricted Subsidiary outstanding that upon exercise, conversion or exchange would require, the

102

issuance by any Restricted Subsidiary of any additional Equity Interests or other securities exercisable for, convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the right to subscribe for or purchase any Equity Interests in any Restricted Subsidiary. For the avoidance of doubt, Schedule 3.11A may be amended, supplemented, updated or otherwise modified prior to or on the Initial Funding Date in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Schedule 3.11B sets forth, as of the Initial Funding Date, all outstanding Disqualified Equity Interests, if any, in the U.S. Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, including the number, date of issuance and the record holder of such Disqualified Equity Interests.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Upon the recordation of the IP Security Agreements with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, and the filing of the financing statements referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section, the security interest created under the U.S. Collateral Agreement will constitute a fully perfected security interest in all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Intellectual Property (as defined in the U.S. Collateral Agreement) in which a security interest may be perfected by filing or recording in the United States of America, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, but subject to Liens permitted under Section 6.02 (it being understood that subsequent recordings in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office may be necessary to perfect a security interest in such Intellectual Property acquired or developed by the Loan Parties after the Initial Funding Date).

(d) Each Security Document, other than any Security Document referred to in the preceding paragraphs of this Section, upon execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto and the making of the filings and taking of the other actions provided for therein, will be effective under applicable law to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a valid and enforceable Lien in the Collateral subject thereto and such Liens constitute perfected and continuing Liens on the Collateral, securing the Obligations, enforceable against the Loan Parties and all third parties, and in each case having priority over all other Liens on the Collateral except in the case of (a) Liens permitted under Section 6.02, to the extent any such Lien would have priority over the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent pursuant to any applicable law or agreement and (b) Liens perfected only by control or possession to the extent the Administrative Agent has not obtained or does not maintain control or possession of such Collateral.

SECTION 3.16 Federal Reserve Regulations; Use of Proceeds. None of the U.S. Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary is engaged or will engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or

104

carrying margin stock. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation (including on the part of any Lender) of any of the regulations of the Board of Governors, including Regulations U and X.

(b) For the purposes of the European Union Regulation, each Belgian Loan Party’s centre of main interests (as that term is used in Article 3(1) of the European Union Regulation) is situated in its jurisdiction of incorporation and it has no “establishment” (as that term is used in Article 2(h) of the European Union Regulation) in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 3.18 Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. The Borrowers have implemented and maintain in effect policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance by the Borrowers, their Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents while acting on behalf of the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries with Anti-Corruption Laws, the USA PATRIOT Act and other anti-money laundering rules and regulations and applicable Sanctions.

(vii) the Administrative Agent shall have received (i) true and complete copies of the Organizational Documents of the Belgian Borrower and a copy of the resolutions, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, of the Board of Directors or other governing body, as applicable, of the Belgian Borrower (or a duly authorized committee thereof) authorizing (A) the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents (and any agreements relating thereto) to which it is a party, (B) specified person or persons, on its behalf, to sign the Belgian Borrower Joinder and to sign and/or dispatch all other documents and notices to be signed and/or dispatched by it under or in connection with this Agreement and (C) the U.S. Borrower to act as the Borrower Representative under this Agreement, together with such certificates relating to the good standing of the Belgian Borrower or the substantive equivalent, if any, available from the appropriate governmental officer in Belgium as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (ii) a certificate of the Belgian Borrower, dated the Spin-Off Date, substantially in the form of Exhibit M hereto or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, with appropriate insertions, executed by an Authorized Officer of the Belgian Borrower, and attaching the documents referred to in clause (i) above; and

SECTION 5.15 Designation of Subsidiaries. The U.S. Borrower may at any time designate any Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Belgian Borrower) as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary by delivering to the Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the U.S. Borrower specifying such designation and certifying that the conditions to such designation set forth in this Section 5.15 are satisfied; provided that:

(a) both immediately before and immediately after any such designation, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(b) after giving Pro Forma Effect to such designation, the Borrowers shall be in Pro Forma Compliance with each Financial Maintenance Covenant, in each case recomputed as of the last day of the most recently ended Test Period for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b) (or, prior to the delivery of any such financial statements, the last day of the last fiscal quarter included in the Pro Forma Financial Statements); and

(c) no Restricted Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if it is a “restricted subsidiary” pursuant to the terms of any Material Indebtedness of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

The designation of any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Signing Date shall constitute an Investment by the U.S. Borrower in such Subsidiary on the date of designation in an amount equal to the fair market value of the U.S. Borrower’s Investment therein (as determined reasonably and in good faith by a Financial Officer of the U.S. Borrower).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the Borrowing of Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases or the issuance of any other Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.01, in each case, to fund a Material Permitted Acquisition and until the end of the fourth full fiscal quarter thereafter (the “Increase Period”), the maximum permitted Total Leverage Ratio shall be increased to 4.50 to 1.00 (the “Step-Up”) during such Increase Period; provided that an Increase Period may not immediately follow another Increase Period (that is, following an Increase Period, there shall be at least one fiscal quarter as of the end of which the Total Leverage Ratio has been complied with, without giving effect to the Step-Up).

(b) Commencing with the first full fiscal quarter ending after the Initial Funding Date, the Borrowers will not permit the Interest Coverage Ratio for any Test Period to be less than 3.00 to 1.00.

SECTION 6.13 Fiscal Year. The Borrowers will not, and the Borrowers will not permit any other Loan Party to, change its fiscal year to end on a date other than December 31; provided, that the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries may change their fiscal year end one or more times, subject to such adjustments to this Agreement as the Borrowers and Administrative Agent shall reasonably agree are necessary or appropriate in connection with such change (and the parties hereto hereby authorize the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to make any such amendments to this Agreement as they jointly deem necessary to give effect to the foregoing).

139

SECTION 6.14 Actions Prior to Spin-Off. The Borrowers will not permit the Spin-Off to occur prior to the acquisition, directly or indirectly, by the U.S. Borrower of the Belgian Borrower and all of the assets and entities to be owned, directly or indirectly, by the Belgian Borrower as described or reflected in the SEC Filings. The Borrowers will cause any amounts borrowed under this Agreement prior to the Spin-Off Date to be held in an account of the U.S. Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, and such amounts shall, until the Spin-Off shall have occurred, be used solely to fund the acquisition by the U.S. Borrower of the Belgian Borrower and all of the assets and entities to be owned, directly or indirectly, by the Belgian Borrower and described or reflected in the SEC Filings, the payment of the Transaction Costs, the payment of the Dividend and the payment of the IDB Closing Distribution.

ARTICLE VII

Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (with a copy to the Administrative Agent in the case of any such notice from the Required Lenders);

(f) the U.S. Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall (x) fail to make any payment (whether of principal, interest, termination payment or other payment obligation and regardless of amount) in respect of any Material Indebtedness, when and as the same shall become due and payable and such failure shall continue beyond the period of grace, if any, provided in the agreement or instrument under which such Material Indebtedness was created, or (y) fail to observe or perform, within any applicable grace period, any covenants or agreements contained in any agreements or instruments relating to any Material Indebtedness to the extent that such failure results in any Material Indebtedness becoming due prior to its scheduled maturity or enables or permits the holder or holders of any Material Indebtedness or any trustee or agent on its or their behalf, or, in the case of any Hedging Agreement, the applicable counterparty, to cause such Material Indebtedness to become due, or to require the prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof, prior to its scheduled maturity or, in the case of any Hedging Agreement, to cause the termination thereof; provided that this clause (f) shall not apply to (A) Material Indebtedness outstanding under any Hedging Agreement that becomes due pursuant to the occurrence of a termination event or equivalent event under the terms of such Hedging Agreement, in each case, other than as a result of the occurrence of a default or event of default under, or breach of the terms of, such Hedging Agreement, (B) any secured Indebtedness that becomes due as a result of the voluntary Disposition of, or any casualty or other insured damage to, or any taking under power of eminent domain or by condemnation or similar proceeding of, any of the assets securing such Indebtedness, or (C) any Indebtedness that becomes due as a result of a refinancing thereof permitted under Section 6.01;

(i) the U.S. Borrower or any Designated Subsidiary shall (i) voluntarily commence any proceeding or file any petition seeking liquidation (other than any liquidation permitted by clause (v) of Section 6.03(a)), reorganization or other relief under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, (ii) consent to the institution of, or fail to contest in a timely and appropriate manner, any proceeding or petition described in clause (i) of this Article,

141

(j) one or more judgments for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess of $25,000,000 (other than any such judgment covered by insurance (other than under a self-insurance program) to the extent a claim therefor has been made in writing and liability therefor has not been denied by the insurer), shall be rendered against the U.S. Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or any combination thereof and the same shall remain undischarged for a period of 60 consecutive days during which execution shall not be effectively satisfied, vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal, or any action shall be legally taken by a judgment creditor to attach or levy upon any assets of the U.S. Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to enforce any such judgment;

(k) on or after the Initial Funding Date, any Lien purported to be created under any Security Document shall cease to be, or shall be asserted by any Loan Party not to be, a valid and (to the extent required under the Loan Documents) perfected Lien on any Collateral having, individually or in the aggregate, a fair market value in excess of$10,000,000, with the priority required by the applicable Security Document, except as a result of (i) a disposition of the applicable Collateral in a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents or other release or termination of such Lien in accordance with the Loan Documents, (ii) the Administrative Agent’s failure to maintain possession of any stock certificate, promissory note or other instrument delivered to it under the Collateral Agreements or to file or record any document delivered to it for filing or recording or (iii) the willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent;

(l) on or after the Initial Funding Date, any Guarantee or co-Borrower obligation of the U.S. Borrower, the Belgian Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document shall cease to be, or shall be asserted by any Loan Party not to be, in full force and effect, except upon the consummation of any transaction permitted under this Agreement as a result of which the Subsidiary Loan Party providing such Guarantee ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary or upon the termination of such Loan Document in accordance with its terms;

(m) a Change in Control shall occur; or

(n) any termination of any Specified Material Contract shall occur that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; provided that no Event of Default shall exist with respect to the termination of such Specified Material Contract (a) for the 90 days after such termination so long as the U.S. Borrower is using commercially reasonable efforts to replace such Specified Material Contract or (b) if such Specified Material Contract is replaced within 90 days after such termination with a Specified

142

Material Contract that is not materially less favorable (taken as a whole) to the Borrowers and its Subsidiaries or the Lenders than the Specified Material Contract that was terminated;

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the U.S. Borrower or the Belgian Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of this Section 7.01), and at any time after the occurrence of the Signing Date and thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower Representative, take any or all of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part (but ratably as among the Classes of Loans and the Loans of each Class at the time outstanding), in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, and (iii) require the deposit of cash collateral in respect of LC Exposure as provided in Section 2.05(i), in each case without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers; and in the case of any event with respect to either Borrower of the type described in clause (h) or (i) of this Article, the Commitments shall automatically terminate, the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, shall immediately and automatically become due and payable and the deposit of such cash collateral in respect of LC Exposure shall immediately and automatically become due, in each case without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers.

SECTION 7.02 Crediting of Payments and Proceeds. In the event that the Obligations have been accelerated pursuant to Section 7.01 or the Administrative Agent or any Lender has exercised any remedy set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, all payments received by the Lenders upon the Obligations and all net proceeds from the enforcement of the Obligations shall be applied:

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including attorneys’ fees, payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, each applicable Issuing Bank in its capacity as such and the Swingline Lender, ratably among the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause First payable to them;

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, including attorneys’ fees, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

143

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and payment obligations then owing under the other Obligations, ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;

Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Banks, to cash collateralize any LC Exposure then outstanding; and

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations consisting of Cash Management Obligations and Hedging Obligations shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent

SECTION 8.01 Administrative Agent. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents, and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America, each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby grants to the Administrative Agent any required powers of attorney to execute any Security Document, including any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s behalf. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to negotiate the terms of any Security Document, including any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Each of the Lenders hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into the Lender Loss Sharing Agreement and any respective amendments thereto on behalf of such Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Lenders hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to bind each Lender to the actions required by such Lender under the terms of the Lender Loss Sharing Agreement.

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as its representative (vertegenwoordiger/représentant) within the meaning of Article 5 of the Belgian Act of 15 December 2004 on financial collateral arrangements and several tax dispositions in relation to security collateral arrangements and loans of financial instruments, as amended from time to time, to create, register, manage and/or enforce on its behalf any Lien created by the Belgian Security Agreements constituting financial collateral.

144

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender or an Issuing Bank as any other Lender or Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion, could expose the Administrative Agent to liability or be contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the U.S. Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by a Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, the existence of any Collateral and creation, perfection or priority of any liens thereon, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from any confirmation of the Revolving Exposure or the component amounts thereof.

145

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof). The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof), and may act upon any such statement prior to receipt of written confirmation thereof. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the U.S. Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent may perform any of and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of and all their duties and exercise their rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Subject to the terms of this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time from its capacity as such. In connection with such resignation, the Administrative Agent shall give notice of its intent to resign to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower Representative. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor, which successor, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be subject to approval by the Borrowers (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and approved by the Borrowers (to the extent required) and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, then the retiring Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Borrowers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall 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 from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed by the Borrowers and such successor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 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 Borrower Representative, whereupon, on the date of

146

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, provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Administrative Agent under any Security Document for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this paragraph (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action under any Security Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest), 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 Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (ii) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall also directly be given or made to each Lender and each Issuing Bank. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (a) above.

For purposes of any Belgian Collateral Document or any other right of pledge governed by the laws of Belgium, any resignation by the Administrative Agent is not effective with respect to its rights under the Parallel Debt until all rights and obligations under the Parallel Debt have been assigned and assumed to the successor agent. The Administrative Agent will reasonably cooperate in transferring its rights and obligations under the Parallel Debt to any such successor agent and will reasonably cooperate in transferring all rights under any Belgian Collateral Document or any Security Document governed by the laws of Belgium to such successor agent.

Each Lender and Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.

Each Lender and Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement on the Signing Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or an Incremental Facility Agreement pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have

147

acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Signing Date or the Initial Funding Date.

No Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. In the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Loan Document Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties at such sale or other disposition. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no Hedging Agreement the obligations under which constitute Obligations will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under any Loan Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such Hedging Agreement shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.

To the extent required by any applicable Requirements of Law, the Administrative Agent may deduct or withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or was 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), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties, additions to Tax or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred, whether or not such Tax was 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

148

owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this paragraph. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, (1) the term “Lender” shall, for purposes of this paragraph, include any Issuing Bank and any Swingline Lender and (2) this paragraph shall not limit or expand the obligations of the Loan Parties under Section 2.17 or any other provision of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Person named on the cover page of this Agreement as Joint Lead Arranger, Joint Bookrunner, Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent shall have any duties or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender or an Issuing Bank or as otherwise may be agreed in writing), but all such Persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder.

Except as set forth in the sixth paragraph of this Article, the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and, except as set forth in the sixth paragraph of this Article, none of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions.

SECTION 8.02 Parallel Debt. Each Belgian Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes (and to the extent necessary undertakes in advance) to pay to the Administrative Agent amounts equal to any amounts owing from time to time by such Belgian Loan Party to any Secured Party under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or other relevant document pursuant to any Corresponding Obligations as and when those amounts are due under any Loan Document or other relevant document (such payment undertakings under this Section 8.02 and the obligations and liabilities resulting therefrom being the “Parallel Debt”).

(a) The Administrative Agent shall have its own independent right to demand and receive payment of the Parallel Debt by the Belgian Loan Parties. Each Belgian Loan Party and the Administrative Agent acknowledge that the obligations of each Belgian Loan Party under this Section 8.02 are several, separate and independent from, and shall not in any way limit or affect, the Corresponding Obligations nor shall the amount for which each Belgian Loan Party is liable under Section 8.02 be limited or affected in any way by its Corresponding Obligations provided that:

(i) the Parallel Debt shall be decreased to the extent that the Corresponding Obligations have been irrevocably paid or discharged (other than, in each case, contingent obligations);

(ii) the Corresponding Obligations shall be decreased to the extent that the Parallel Debt has been irrevocably paid or discharged;

(iii) the amount of the Parallel Debt shall at all times be equal to the amount of the Corresponding Obligations;

149

(iv) the Parallel Debt will be payable in the currency or currencies of the Corresponding Obligations; and

(v) for the avoidance of doubt the Parallel Debt will become due and payable at the same time when the Corresponding Obligations become due and payable.

(b) The security granted under any Belgian Collateral Document with respect to Parallel Debt is granted to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as sole creditor of the Parallel Debt.

(c) Without limiting or affecting the Administrative Agent’s rights against any Belgian Loan Party (whether under this Agreement or any other Loan Document), each Belgian Loan Party acknowledges that:

(i) nothing in this Agreement shall impose any obligation on the Administrative Agent to advance any sum to any Belgian Loan Party or otherwise under any Loan Document; and

(ii) for the purpose of any vote taken under any Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not be regarded as having any participation or commitment other that those which it has in its capacity as a Lender.

(d) The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and confirm that the parallel debt provisions contained herein shall not be interpreted so as to increase the maximum total amount of the Obligations.

(e) The Parallel Debt shall remain effective in case a third Person should assume or be entitled, partially or in whole, to any rights of any of the Secured Parties under any of the other Loan Documents, be it by virtue of assignment, assumption or otherwise.

(f) All monies received or recovered by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and all amounts received or recovered by the Administrative Agent from or by the enforcement of any security granted to secure the Parallel Debt shall be applied in accordance with this Agreement.

(g) For the purpose of this Section 8.02, the Administrative Agent acts in its own name and on behalf of itself and not as agent, trustee or representative of any other Secured Party.

SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, none of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders and, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders, provided that (i) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment and (ii) no such agreement shall (A) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent or the waiver of any Default, Event of Default or mandatory prepayment shall not constitute an increase of any Commitment), (B) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than as a result of any Replacement Rate Amendment or as a result of any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any Loan pursuant to Section 2.13(c) or in the applicability of post-default interest, it being understood that a waiver of a Default shall not constitute a reduction of interest for this purpose), or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby,

152

(C) postpone the scheduled maturity date of any Loan, or the date of any scheduled payment of the principal amount of any Term Loan under Section 2.10, or the required date of reimbursement of any LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, (D) except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, change Section 2.18(b), 2.18(c) or 7.02 or Article IX in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, (E) change any of the provisions of Section 5.02 of the U.S. Collateral Agreement without the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby in its capacity as a Lender, or (F) change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage set forth in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be); provided that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, the provisions of this Section and the definition of the term “Required Lenders” may be amended to include references to any new class of loans created under this Agreement (or to lenders extending such loans) on substantially the same basis as the corresponding references relating to the Existing Classes of Loans or Lenders, (G) release Guarantees constituting all or substantially all the value of the Guarantees under the Collateral Agreement, or limit the liability of Loan Parties in respect of Guarantees constituting such value, in each case without the written consent of each Lender (except as expressly provided in Section 9.14 or the applicable Security Document), (H) release all or substantially all of the value of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents, without the written consent of each Lender (except as expressly provided in Section 9.14 or the applicable Security Document (including any such release by the Administrative Agent in connection with any sale or other disposition of the Collateral upon the exercise of remedies under the Security Documents), it being understood that an amendment or other modification of the type of obligations secured by the Security Documents shall not be deemed to be a release of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents), and (I) change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of Collateral or payments due to Lenders holding Loans of any Class differently than those holding Loans of any other Class, without the written consent of Lenders representing a Majority in Interest of each affected Class; provided, further, that (1) no such agreement shall amend, modify, extend or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be and (2) any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of the Lenders of a particular Class (but not the Lenders of any other Class), may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the requisite number or percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be required of (x) any Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in clause (A), (B), (C) or (D) of the first proviso of this paragraph and then only in the event

153

such Defaulting Lender shall be directly and adversely affected by such amendment, waiver or other modification or (y) in the case of any vote requiring the approval of all Lenders or each affected Lender, any Lender that receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by, and all other amounts owing to, such Lender or accrued for the account of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents at the time such amendment, waiver or other modification becomes effective and whose Commitments terminate by the terms and upon the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or other modification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) the consent of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, shall not be required (A) to make any changes necessary to be made to this Agreement in connection with any borrowing of Incremental Term Loans to effect the provisions of Section 2.21, (B) to provide for any Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase, (C) otherwise to effect the provisions of Section 2.21, 2.22 or 2.23 in accordance with the terms thereof, (D) to agree to any time period set forth in Schedule 5.13 to be delivered on the Initial Funding Date, (E) to negotiate any Security Document with a Borrower or any other Loan Party or, (F) for the Administrative Agent to negotiate, execute and deliver on behalf of the Secured Parties any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, or any amendment thereto, in connection with any Permitted Junior Lien Secured Indebtedness or (G) to enter into any Replacement Rate Amendment, and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may, without the consent of any Secured Party or any other Person, amend this Agreement, the Collateral Agreement and any other Security Document to add provisions with respect to “parallel debt” and other non-U.S. guarantee and collateral matters, including any authorizations, collateral trust arrangements or other granting of powers by the Lenders and the other Secured Parties in favor of the Administrative Agent, in each case if such amendment is necessary or desirable to create or perfect, or preserve the validity, legality, enforceability and perfection of, the Guarantees and Liens contemplated to be created pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, waivers or other modifications on behalf of such Lender. Any amendment, waiver or other modification effected in accordance with this Section 9.02 shall be binding upon each Person that is at the time thereof a Lender and each Person that subsequently becomes a Lender.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.02, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent may, without the input or consent of the Lenders, (i) effect amendments, supplements or waivers to any of the Security Documents, Guarantees, Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreements, intercreditor agreements or related documents executed by any Loan Party in connection with this Agreement if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order (in each case, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) (x) to comply with local law or advice of local counsel or (y) to cause such Security Documents, Guarantees, intercreditor agreements or related documents to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) effect changes to this Agreement or any other Loan Document that are necessary and appropriate to provide for, or make changes to, the Auction Procedures. To the extent notice has been provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the inclusion of any Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant, this Agreement shall be automatically and without further action on the part of any Person hereunder and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.02 deemed

154

modified to include such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant on the date of the incurrence of the applicable Indebtedness to the extent required by the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their Affiliates, including expenses incurred in connection with due diligence and the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel and any other counsel for any of the foregoing retained with the U.S. Borrower’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), in connection with the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, including the preparation, execution and delivery of the Engagement Letter, as well as the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank and the Lenders, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for any of the foregoing (and, if necessary, one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single local counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions)) (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the Person affected by such conflict informs the Borrowers of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel and, if necessary, one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for such affected Persons), in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including their rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. All amounts payable under this Section 9.03(a) shall be paid within ten Business Days after receipt by the Borrower Representative of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such amounts in reasonable detail.

(b) The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Arranger, each Lender and Issuing Bank (each such Person, an “Indemnified Institution”), and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each Indemnified Institution and each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”), against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for all Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all Indemnitees taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where an Indemnified Institution affected by such conflict informs the Borrowers of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel and, if necessary, one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for such

155

affected Indemnified Institution), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of or relating to, based upon, or as a result of (i) the structuring, arrangement and the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Engagement Letter, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties to the Engagement Letter, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents of their obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by a Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any Environmental Liability to the extent related to a Borrower or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and whether initiated against or by any party to the Engagement Letter, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Affiliate of any of the foregoing or any third party (and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether such claim, litigation or proceeding is brought by a third party or by a Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Institution, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses resulted from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Institution or any of its Related Parties (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), (ii) a material breach by such Indemnified Institution or one of its Related Parties of this Agreement (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision)or (iii) any dispute between and among Indemnified Institutions that does not involve an act or omission by the U.S. Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiaries (other than any claims against any Arranger, Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent in its capacity or in fulfilling its roles as an Arranger, Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent under this Agreement). This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes, other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. All amounts payable under this Section 9.03(b) shall be paid within ten Business Days after receipt by the Borrower Representative of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such amounts in reasonable detail.

(c) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by it under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in connection with such capacity. For purposes of this Section, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be

156

determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving Exposures, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at the time (or most recently outstanding and in effect).

(d) No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet) in the absence of willful misconduct or gross negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable decision). None of the U.S. Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or any other Loan Party or any Indemnitee shall have any liability for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence will limit the indemnity and reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers set forth in this Section.

SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) except as permitted by Section 6.03, no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.

Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, and any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (or, pursuant to Section 2.23, the U.S. Borrower) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A) the U.S. Borrower; provided that no consent of the U.S. Borrower shall be required (1) for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund and (2) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, for any other assignment; provided further that the U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such

(C) each Issuing Bank; provided that no consent of the Issuing Banks shall be required for an assignment of any Term Loan or an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(D) the Swingline Lender,; provided that no consent of the Swingline Lender shall be required for an assignment of any Term Loan or an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(B) _each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that this clause (B) shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans but not those in respect of a second Class;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided that only one such processing and recordation fee shall be payable in the event of simultaneous assignments from any Lender or its Approved Funds to one or more other Approved Funds of such Lender; and

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender or a Borrower, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain MNPI) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including federal, state and foreign securities laws.

158

(iii) From and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03).

(iv) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and records of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans (and related interest amounts) and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the U.S. Borrower and the Belgian Borrower and, as to entries pertaining to it, any Issuing Bank or Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) [Reserved].

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (“Participants”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and Loans of any Class); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) 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/or obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (ii) of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that adversely affects such Participant or requires the approval of all the Lenders. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (x) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.18 and 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (y) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive,

159

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. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant to which it has sold a participation and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each such Participant’s interest in the Loans or other rights and obligations of such Lender under this Agreement (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 Loans or other rights and obligations under any this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other right or 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 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.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) The benefit of the Liens under the Belgian Collateral Documents shall automatically transfer to any assignee or transferee (by way of novation or otherwise) of part or all of the obligations expressed to be secured by the Belgian Security Agreements. For the purpose of Article 1278 and Article 1281 of the Belgian Civil Code (and, to the extent applicable, any similar provisions of foreign law), the Administrative Agent and the other secured parties under the Belgian Security Agreements hereby expressly reserve the preservation of the Belgian Security Agreements in case of assignment, novation, amendment or any other transfer or change of the obligations expressed to be secured by the Belgian Security Agreements (including, without limitation, an extension of the term or an increase of the amount of such obligations or the granting of additional credit) or of any change of any of the parties to this Agreement.

(f) Any reference in the Loan Documents to "Bank of America Xxxxxxx Xxxxx International Limited" is a reference to its successor in title Bank of America Xxxxxxx Xxxxx International Designated Activity Company (including, without limitation, its branches) pursuant to and with effect from the merger between Bank of America Xxxxxxx Xxxxx International Limited and Bank of America Xxxxxxx Xxxxx International Designated Activity Company that takes effect in accordance with Chapter II, Title II of Directive (EU) 2017/1132 (which repeals and codifies the Cross-Border Mergers Directive (2005/56/EC)), as implemented in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, a transfer of rights and obligations from Bank of America Xxxxxxx Xxxxx International Limited to Bank of America

160

Xxxxxxx Xxxxx International Designated Activity Company pursuant to such merger shall be permitted.

SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any Loan Document is executed and delivered or any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any LC Exposure is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in the event that, in connection with the refinancing or repayment in full of the credit facilities provided for herein, an Issuing Bank shall have provided to the Administrative Agent a written consent to the release of the Revolving Lenders from their obligations hereunder with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (whether as a result of the obligations of the Borrowers (and any other account party) in respect of such Letter of Credit having been collateralized in full by a deposit of cash with such Issuing Bank, or being supported by a letter of credit that names such Issuing Bank as the beneficiary thereunder, or otherwise), then from and after such time such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” outstanding hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations in such Letter of Credit, and no obligations with respect thereto, under Section 2.05(d) or 2.05(f). The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 2.18(e) and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, including the commitments of the Lenders and, if applicable, their Affiliates under any commitment advices submitted by them (but do not supersede any other provisions of the Engagement Letter or any separate letter agreements, in each case, with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank that do not by the terms of such documents terminate upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, all of which provisions shall remain in full force and effect). Except as provided in Section 4.02, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall

161

be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07 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.

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and Issuing Bank, and each Affiliate of any of the foregoing, is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by a Borrower hereunder (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise) to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) or other amounts at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or Issuing Bank, or by such an Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the U.S. Borrower or the Belgian Borrower against any of and all the obligations then due of the U.S. Borrower or the Belgian Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement. The rights of each Lender and Issuing Bank, and each Affiliate of any of the foregoing, under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate may have. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees promptly to notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

SECTION 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto 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. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any enforcement action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document,

162

including any such action or proceeding in connection with the exercise of remedies with respect to Collateral, against the U.S. Borrower, the Belgian Borrower or any of their properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. The Belgian Borrower irrevocably designates and appoints the U.S. Borrower, as its authorized agent, to accept and acknowledge on its behalf, service of any and all process which may be served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 9.09(b) in the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York. The U.S. Borrower hereby represents, warrants and confirms that the U.S. Borrower has agreed to accept such appointment. Said designation and appointment shall be irrevocable by such Belgian Borrower until all Loans, all reimbursement obligations, interest thereon and all other amounts payable by such Belgian Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof. The Belgian Borrower hereby consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 9.09(b) in the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York by service of process upon the U.S. Borrower as provided in this Section 9.09(d). The Belgian Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all claim of error by reason of any such service in such manner and agrees that such service shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon such Belgian Borrower in any such suit, action or proceeding and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be taken and held to be valid and personal service upon and personal delivery to such Belgian Borrower. To the extent the Belgian Borrower has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether from service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of a judgment, execution or otherwise), such Belgian Borrower hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under the Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 9.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER

163

PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 9.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Related Parties, including accountants, legal counsel and other agents and advisors which in each case shall be subject to confidentiality obligations, it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such 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), (c) to the extent required by applicable law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with (i) the exercise of any remedy or the enforcement of any right under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any litigation or arbitration action or proceeding relating thereto, to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary in connection with such litigation or arbitration action or proceeding (provided that the Borrower Representative shall be given notice thereof and a reasonable opportunity to seek a protective court order, at its own expense, with respect to such Information prior to such disclosure (it being understood that the refusal by a court to grant such a protective order shall not prevent the disclosure of such Information thereafter)) and (ii) any foreclosure, sale or other disposition of any Collateral in connection with the exercise of remedies under the Security Documents, subject to each potential transferee of such Collateral having entered into customary confidentiality undertakings with respect to such Collateral prior to the disclosure thereof to such Person (which confidentiality obligations will cease to apply to any transferee upon the consummation of its acquisition of such Collateral), (f) subject to an agreement containing confidentiality undertakings substantially similar to those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its Related Parties) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the U.S. Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower Representative, or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers that, to the knowledge of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate, is not subject to contractual or fiduciary confidentiality obligations. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from a Borrower relating to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or their businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers. Any Person required to maintain the

164

confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 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 Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and customary information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Documentation Agents, Syndication Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.13 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.14 Release of Liens and Guarantees.

(a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released (i) in full, as set forth in clause (b) below, (ii) upon the sale, transfer or other disposition of such Collateral (including as part of or in connection with any other sale, transfer or other disposition permitted hereunder) to a joint venture or to any other Person other than a Loan Party (unless such Person becomes a Subsidiary Loan Party pursuant to, or in connection with, such sale, transfer or other disposition), in each case, to the extent such sale, transfer or other disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Loan Party by a Person that is not a Loan Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease, (iv) if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with Section 9.02), (v) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Restricted Subsidiary, upon the release of such Restricted Subsidiary from its obligations under any Collateral Agreement (in accordance with the second succeeding sentence and Section 7.13 of the U.S. Collateral Agreement) and (vi) as required by the Administrative Agent to effect any sale, transfer or other disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Security Documents. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those being released) upon (or obligations (other than those being released) of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties,

165

including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral except to the extent otherwise released in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents. Additionally, the Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that (i) any Restricted Subsidiary shall be released from the Guarantees under the Collateral Agreement upon consummation of any transaction permitted hereunder resulting in such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to constitute a Restricted Subsidiary, or otherwise becoming an Excluded Subsidiary or otherwise ceasing to be subject to the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and (ii) Westrock shall be automatically released from its Guarantee upon consummation of the Spin-Off. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent will at the sole cost and expense of the Borrowers or applicable Loan Party, execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Guarantee or Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender. Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Guarantee or Collateral shall no longer be deemed to be repeated.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Loan Document Obligations (other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) have been paid in full, all Commitments have terminated or expired and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding that is not cash collateralized or back-stopped in a manner satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Issuing Banks have no further obligation to issue or amend Letters of Credit, upon request of a Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Secured Party) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all obligations under any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be any Obligations that are not Loan Document Obligations or any contingent or indemnification obligations not then due. Any such release of Liens securing the Loan Document Obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such Liens shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Loan Document Obligations secured thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the U.S. Borrower or any other Loan Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the U.S. Borrower or any other Loan Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

SECTION 9.15 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with such Act.

SECTION 9.16 No Fiduciary Relationship. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each of the Borrowers acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the

166

To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Borrowers hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

SECTION 9.17 Non-Public Information.

(a) Each Lender acknowledges that all information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the U.S. Borrower, the Belgian Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to or in connection with, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain MNPI. Each Lender represents to the U.S. Borrower, the Belgian Borrower and the Administrative Agent that (i) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of MNPI and that it will handle MNPI in accordance with such procedures and applicable law, including federal, state and foreign securities laws, and (ii) it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain MNPI in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including federal, state and foreign securities laws.

SECTION 9.18 Borrower Representative.

(a) The U.S. Borrower is hereby appointed by each of the Borrowers as its contractual representative (herein referred to as the “Borrower Representative”) hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Borrowers irrevocably authorizes the Borrower Representative to act as the contractual representative of such Borrower with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. The Borrower Representative agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Section 9.18. Additionally, the Borrowers hereby appoint the Borrower Representative as their agent to make any Borrowing Requests, including designating the relevant Borrower account for receipt of the proceeds of any Loans.

(c) Each Belgian Loan Party agrees, and hereby undertakes, to ratify and to confirm each decision taken or action performed by the U.S. Borrower on its behalf as Borrower Representative in the exercise or purported exercise of the powers granted pursuant to this Section 9.18, to the extent such ratification and confirmation is necessary under Belgian law to ensure the validity and the binding character vis-à-vis such Belgian Loan Party of the decision or action concerned.

SECTION 9.19 Obligations of the Belgian Borrower.

In addition, any insurance proceeds from any Collateral pledged by the Belgian Loan Parties shall not be available to pay any Domestic Obligations.

SECTION 9.20 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA 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 EEA 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 an EEA 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 an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA 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 EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

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

SECTION 9.21 Judgment Currency. If, for purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum from the currency provided under a Loan Document (“Agreement Currency”) into another currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which judgment is given. For this purpose “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Administrative Agent is able, on the relevant date, to purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency in accordance with its normal practice. Notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (“Judgment Currency”) other than the Agreement Currency, a Loan Party shall discharge its obligation in respect of any sum due under a Loan Document only if, on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of payment in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent can use the amount paid to purchase the sum originally due in the Agreement Currency. If the purchased amount is less than the sum originally due, such Loan Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent and Lenders against such loss. If the purchased amount is greater than the sum originally due, the Administrative Agent shall return the excess amount to such Loan Party (or to the Person legally entitled thereto).
