ARTICLE II

THE CREDITS

Section 2.01 Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein:

(a) Revolving Facility Loans. Each Lender severally agrees to make a loan or loans from time to time during the Availability Period (each, a “Revolving Facility Loan”) (i) in U.S. Dollars or euro to the U.S. Borrower from such Lender’s U.S. Lending Office or Euro Lending Office (or any other Lending Office of such Lender, as such Lender may designate), (ii) in Canadian Dollars or U.S. Dollars to the Canadian Borrower from its Canadian Lending Office or U.S. Lending Office (or any other Lending Office of such Lender, as such Lender may designate) and/or to cause its Canadian Lending Office (or any other Lending Office of such Lender, as such Lender may designate) to accept and purchase or arrange for the acceptance and purchase of drafts drawn by the Canadian Borrower in Canadian Dollars as B/As, (iii) in U.S. Dollars or euro to each of the Dutch Borrower and the German Borrower from such Lender’s U.S. Lending Office or Euro Lending Office (or any other Lending Office of such Lender, as such Lender may designate), and (iv) in euro, U.S. Dollars or Sterling to each U.K. Borrower from such Lender’s Euro Lending Office or U.S. Lending Office (or any other Lending Office of such Lender, as such Lender may designate), in each case after giving effect thereto and to the application of proceeds thereof, in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (I) such Lender’s Revolving Facility Loans exceeding the Revolving Facility Commitment of such Lender, (II) such Lender’s Revolving Facility Exposure exceeding the Revolving Facility Commitment of such Lender, (III) the Total Revolving Facility Exposure exceeding the lesser of (x) the Total Revolving Facility Commitments and (y) the Global Borrowing Base, (IV) the aggregate U.S. Revolving Facility Exposure exceeding the U.S. Borrowing Base (the “U.S. Sublimit”) or (V) (x) the Total Revolving Facility Exposure less the German Revolving Facility Exposure exceeding (y) the Global Borrowing Base less the German Borrowing Base (the “Specified Sublimit”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Stage 2 Amendment Effective Date, (i) the 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitments shall automatically replace the Revolving Facility Commitments in effect hereunder immediately prior to the Stage 2 Amendment Effective Date, unless the 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitment of a Lender is structured as an extension of its Revolving Facility Commitments in effect immediately prior to the Stage 2 Amendment Effective Date, in which case the specified Revolving Facility Commitments of such Lender in effect immediately prior to the Stage 2 Amendment Effective Date shall, on the Stage 2 Amendment Effective Date, be extended as 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitments and, if applicable, reduced to be the amount of such Lender’s 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitment set forth on Annex II hereto (subject to further reduction pursuant to Section 2.01(a)) and (ii) the Revolving Facility Exposure under this Agreement immediately prior to the Stage 2 Amendment Effective Date shall remain outstanding hereunder and shall be deemed to be extensions of credit under the 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitments. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Revolving Facility Loans and each Borrowing outstanding immediately prior to the Stage 2 Amendment

Effective Date shall remain outstanding after giving effect to the Stage 2 Amendment Effective Date, but shall be held by each Lender with a 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitment on a pro rata basis based on the amount of its 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitment, including without limitation processing any deemed assignments of Revolving Facility Loans between the Lenders to reflect such pro rata holdings (with (1) any Lenders with a 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitment that is greater than its Revolving Facility Commitment in effect immediately prior to the Stage 2 Amendment Effective Date agreeing to be an Assignee and purchase any such Revolving Facility Loans to the extent required to effect the foregoing and (2) any Lenders with a 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitment that is less than its Revolving Facility Commitment in effect prior to the Stage 2 Amendment Effective Date agreeing to be an assignor with respect to any such assignment to the extent required to effect the foregoing). To the extent requested by any Lender on or prior to the Stage 2 Amendment Effective Date, the 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitment of such Lender may be structured as an extension of its Revolving Facility Commitments in effect hereunder immediately prior to the Stage 2 Amendment Effective Date; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, such extended Revolving Facility Commitments shall constitute and be treated as 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitments for all purposes hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall a Lender’s Revolving Facility Loans exceed the Revolving Facility Commitment of such Lender on the Stage 2 Amendment Effective Date.

In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Additional Extending Lender may become a Lender hereunder and agree to provide Revolving Facility Commitments hereunder that will be included as 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitments hereunder pursuant to joinder documentation reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower. The 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitments of Additional Extending Lenders will be in addition to the 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitments in effect immediately prior to any Additional Extending Lender Effective Date; provided that, to the extent the total aggregate principal amount of the 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitments would otherwise exceed $350,000,000 after giving effect to any Additional Extending Lender Commitment, the 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitments of the Prior Extending Lenders (other than those provided by the Excluded Extending Lenders) shall be reduced pro rata by the aggregate amount of such excess automatically upon the execution by such Additional Extending Lender of such joinder documentation. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Revolving Facility Loans and each Borrowing outstanding immediately prior to an Additional Extending Lender Effective Date shall remain outstanding after giving effect to the Additional Extending Lender Effective Date, but shall be held by each Lender with a 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitment on a pro rata basis based on the amount of its 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitment after giving effect to the Additional Extending Lender Effective Date, including without limitation processing any deemed assignments of Revolving Facility Loans between the Lenders to reflect such pro rata holdings. The U.S. Borrower may, with the consent of the Administrative Agent in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, appoint up to one Additional Extending Lender as a Joint Lead Arranger and grant such entity additional titles as agreed by the U.S. Borrower and Administrative Agent under this Agreement. On the Additional Extending Lender Effective Date, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence of the Additional Extending Lender Commitment of each

Additional Extending Lender and the granting of any title pursuant to this Section 2.01(a). Any such amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers and furnished to the other parties hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitments exceed $350,000,000 (other than pursuant to an Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment pursuant to Section 2.21).

(b) Overadvances. Insofar as the Borrowers may request and the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders may be willing in their sole and absolute discretion to make (x) any Revolving Facility Loans to any Borrower at a time when (A) the Total Revolving Facility Exposure exceeds, or would exceed with the making of any such Revolving Facility Loan, the Global Borrowing Base or (B) the Total Revolving Facility Exposure less the German Revolving Facility Exposure exceeds, or would exceed with the making of any such Revolving Facility Loan, the Specified Sublimit or (y) any Revolving Facility Loans to the U.S. Borrower at a time when the U.S. Revolving Facility Exposure exceeds, or would exceed with the making of any such Revolving Facility Loan, the U.S. Sublimit (any such Loan or Loans made under clauses (x) or (y) above being herein referred to individually as an “Overadvance”), the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders shall make, or require the Lenders to make, such Overadvances available to the applicable Borrower. All Overadvances shall be secured by the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Security Documents and shall bear interest as provided in this Agreement for the Revolving Facility Loans generally. Any Overadvance made pursuant to the terms hereof shall be made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Facility Percentages. The foregoing notwithstanding, in no event (i) unless otherwise consented to by the Required Lenders, shall Overadvances, together with the Protective Advances then outstanding, in the aggregate exceed 5.0% of the then applicable Global Borrowing Base, (ii) shall any Overadvances be outstanding for more than 45 consecutive days, (iii) unless otherwise consented to by the Required Lenders, after all outstanding Overadvances have been repaid, shall the Administrative Agent or the Lenders make any additional Overadvances unless 30 days or more have expired since the last date on which any Overadvances were outstanding or (iv) unless otherwise consented to by each affected Lender, shall the Administrative Agent make any Revolving Facility Loans on behalf of the applicable Lenders under this Section 2.01(b) to the extent such Revolving Facility Loans would cause such Lender’s share of the Revolving Facility Exposure to exceed such Lender’s aggregate Revolving Facility Commitment. The Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s authorization to make future Overadvances (provided that existing Overadvances shall not be subject to such revocation and any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof). If Overadvances are made in accordance with this Section 2.01(b), then (A) the Global Borrowing Base, U.S. Sublimit and Specified Sublimit, as applicable, shall thereafter be deemed ratably increased by the amount of such permitted Overadvances, but only for so long as the Administrative Agent allows such Overadvances to be outstanding and (B) all Lenders shall be bound to make, or permit to remain outstanding, such Overadvances based upon their applicable Revolving Facility Percentages in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Protective Advances. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or upon the inability of the Borrowers to satisfy the conditions to borrowing set forth in Section 4.01(b) after the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may make Revolving Facility Loans to any Borrower on behalf of the Lenders, so long as the aggregate

amount of such Revolving Facility Loans shall not, together with the aggregate amount of all Overadvances then outstanding, exceed 5.0% of the then applicable Global Borrowing Base, if the Administrative Agent, in its Reasonable Credit Judgment, deems that such Revolving Facility Loans are necessary or desirable (i) to protect all or any portion of the Collateral, (ii) to enhance the likelihood, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and the other Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement (such Revolving Facility Loans, hereinafter, each a “Protective Advance” and, together, “Protective Advances”); provided that (x) in no event shall the Total Revolving Facility Exposure exceed the Total Revolving Facility Commitments, (y) the Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s authorization to make future Protective Advances (provided that existing Protective Advances shall not be subject to such revocation and any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof) and (z) unless otherwise consented to by each affected Lender, the Administrative Agent may not make Revolving Facility Loans on behalf of the applicable Lenders under this Section 2.01(c) to the extent such Revolving Facility Loans would cause a Lender’s share of the Revolving Facility Exposure to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment. Any Protective Advance made pursuant to the terms hereof shall be made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Facility Percentages. If Protective Advances are made in accordance with this Section 2.01(c), then (A) each Borrowing Base shall thereafter be deemed ratably increased by the amount of such permitted Protective Advances, but only for so long as the Administrative Agent allows such Protective Advances to be outstanding and (B) all Lenders shall be bound to make, or permit to remain outstanding, such Protective Advances based upon their applicable Revolving Facility Percentages in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments. Each Lender having an Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment agrees, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, to make Incremental Revolving Facility Loans to any Borrower, in a U.S. Dollar Equivalent aggregate principal amount not to exceed its Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment.

(e) Prepayment; Reborrowing. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Facility Loans.

Section 2.02 Loans and Borrowings.

(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans in the same currency and of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments (or, in the case of Swingline Loans, by the Swingline Lender in accordance with its Swingline Commitment). 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 2.15, (i) in the case of the U.S. Borrower, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Revolving Loans as the U.S. Borrower

may request in accordance herewith; (ii) in the case of the Canadian Borrower, each Borrowing (A) denominated in U.S. Dollars shall be comprised entirely of U.S. Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Revolving Loans as the Canadian Borrower may request in accordance herewith and (B) denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be comprised entirely of Canadian Base Rate Loans or B/A Drawings; and (iii) in the case of the Dutch Borrower, the German Borrower and the U.K. Borrowers, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Revolving Loans as the applicable Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Swingline Borrowing made by the U.S. Borrower shall be an ABR Borrowing. Each Swingline Borrowing made by the Dutch Borrower, the German Borrower or a U.K. Borrower shall be an Overnight LIBO Borrowing. Each Lender at its option may make any ABR Loan, Base Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Revolving 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 any Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such Lender shall not be entitled to any amounts payable under Section 2.16 or 2.18 solely in respect of increased costs or taxes resulting from such exercise and existing at the time of such exercise.

(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Revolving 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. At the time that (i) each ABR Revolving Borrowing or Base Rate Revolving 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 or Base Rate Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Revolving Facility Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e). 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 Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowings outstanding.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing or B/A Drawing if the Interest Period or Contract Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date of any Class.

(e) Any Loan to the Dutch Borrower or, to the extent provided before any Loan, any issuance of a Letter of Credit under section 2.05(b) at the request of the Dutch Borrower shall at all times be provided by a Lender and Issuing Bank that is a Non-Public Lender.

Section 2.03 Requests for Borrowings. To request a Revolving Borrowing, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request (as provided in Section 9.01) by telephone (provided that Borrowings by a U.K. Borrower, the Dutch Borrower or the German Borrower cannot be made by telephone and must be made in writing) (a) in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, (b) in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing in Sterling or euros, not later than 12:00 p.m., Local Time, two Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (c) in the case of an ABR Borrowing or Base Rate Borrowing in U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars, not later than 12:00 p.m., Local Time, one Business Day before the date of the

proposed Borrowing; provided that any such notice of an ABR Revolving Borrowing or a Base Rate Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e) may be given not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall (in the case of a telephone request) be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or electronic means to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the applicable Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i)the Borrower requesting such Borrowing;

(ii)the Class of such Borrowing;

(iii)the currency and aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing, which amount shall not result in (A) the Total Revolving Facility Exposure exceeding the lesser of (x) the Total Revolving Facility Commitments and (y) the Global Borrowing Base, (B) the aggregate U.S. Revolving Facility Exposure exceeding the U.S. Sublimit or (C) the Total Revolving Facility Exposure less the German Revolving Facility Exposure exceeding the Specified Sublimit;

(iv)the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(v)whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing;

(vi)in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and

(vii)the location and number of the applicable Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed.

If no election as to the Type of Revolving Borrowing is specified, then the requested Revolving Borrowing shall be (i) in the case of a Revolving Borrowing by the U.S. Borrower, an ABR Borrowing and (ii) in the case of any other Revolving Borrowing, a Base Rate Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of each Loan requested pursuant to this Section 2.03. The proceeds of each Loan requested under this Section 2.03 shall be disbursed by the Administrative Agent in the applicable currency in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to such bank account as may be agreed upon by the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent from time to time or elsewhere if pursuant to a

written direction from such Borrower. If at any time any Loan is funded in excess of the amount requested by the applicable Borrower, such Borrower agrees to repay the excess to the Administrative Agent promptly upon the earlier to occur of (x) such Borrower’s discovery of the error and (y) notice thereof to such Borrower from the Administrative Agent or any applicable Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Revolving Facility Loans outstanding immediately prior to the Stage 2 Amendment Effective Date, if any, shall remain outstanding hereunder after giving effect to the Stage 2 Amendment Effective Date as Revolving Facility Loans incurred under the 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitments.

Section 2.04 Swingline Loans.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans in U.S. Dollars to the U.S. Borrower, in euro to the Dutch Borrower and the German Borrower, and in euro, U.S. Dollars and Sterling to the U.K. Borrowers, from time to time during the applicable Availability Period, in the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the Swingline Exposure exceeding the Swingline Commitment, (ii) the aggregate U.S. Revolving Facility Exposure exceeding the U.S. Sublimit, (iii) the Total Revolving Facility Exposure exceeding the lesser of (A) the Total Revolving Facility Commitments and (B) the Global Borrowing Base or (iv) the Total Revolving Facility Exposure less the German Revolving Facility Exposure exceeding the Specified Sublimit; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Borrowing. Each Swingline Borrowing shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000, €100,000 or £100,000, as the case may be, and not less than $1,000,000, €1,000,000 or £1,000,000, as the case may be. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the U.S. Borrower, the Dutch Borrower, the German Borrower and the U.K. Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(b) To request a Swingline Borrowing, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender of such request by telephone (confirmed by a Swingline Borrowing Request by electronic means) (provided that Swingline Borrowings by a U.K. Borrower, the Dutch Borrower or the German Borrower cannot be made by telephone and must be made in writing), not later than 12:00 p.m., Local Time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Borrowing. Each such notice and Swingline Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the Borrower requesting such Swingline Borrowing, (ii) the requested date (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the currency and amount of the requested Swingline Borrowing and (iv) in the case of a Swingline Borrowing to be made by the Dutch Borrower, the German Borrower or a U.K. Borrower, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by clause (b) of the definition of “Interest Period”. The Swingline Lender shall consult with the Administrative Agent as to whether the making of the Swingline Loan is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement prior to the Swingline Lender funding such Swingline Loan. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan to be made by it hereunder in accordance with Section 2.02(a) on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 3:00 p.m., Local Time, to the account of the applicable Borrower (or, in the case of a Swingline Borrowing made to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank).

(c) The Swingline Lender may (but is not obligated to) require Lenders to acquire participations in all or a portion of the outstanding Swingline Loans made by it (“Settlement”) on a weekly basis by written notice to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”) with regards to Swingline Loans which are ABR Loans or two Business Days prior to the Settlement Date with regards to Overnight LIBO Borrowings. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount and currency of such Swingline Loans in which the Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each such Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its respective 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 reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the U.S. Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph (c), 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 any Borrower (or other party 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 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 applicable Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve any Borrower of any default in the payment thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Swingline Loans outstanding immediately prior to the Stage 2 Amendment Effective Date, if any, shall remain outstanding hereunder after giving effect to the Stage 2 Amendment Effective Date as Swingline Loans incurred under the 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitments.

Section 2.05 Letters of Credit

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each of the Borrowers may request the issuance of Letters of Credit denominated in U.S. Dollars or Alternative Currencies, in each case for its own account (or for the account of a Subsidiary, so long as such Borrower and such Subsidiary are co-applicants) in a form reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date. In the event of any inconsistency

between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by a Borrower to, or entered into by a Borrower with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension: Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal (other than an automatic renewal in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section) or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the applicable Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (three Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, or such lesser time as acceptable to the U.S. Borrower and the relevant Issuing Bank) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, attaching the Letter of Credit which must be in an agreed form (between the U.S. Borrower and the relevant Issuing Bank) and specifying the 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 currency in which such Letter of Credit is to be denominated (which may be U.S. Dollars or any Alternative Currency), the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to issue, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, as the case may be, (i) the Revolving L/C Exposure will not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, (ii) Total Revolving Facility Exposure will not exceed the lesser of (A) the Total Revolving Facility Commitments and (B) the Global Borrowing Base, (iii) the aggregate U.S. Revolving Facility Exposure will not exceed the U.S. Sublimit, (iv) the Total Revolving Facility Exposure less the German Revolving Facility Exposure will not exceed the Specified Sublimit and (v) all conditions precedent in Section 4.01 have been satisfied or waived.

(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 (unless otherwise agreed upon by the U.S. Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank in their sole discretion) after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year (unless otherwise agreed upon by the U.S. Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank) after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the automatic renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which, in no event, shall extend beyond the applicable date referred to in clause (ii) of this paragraph (c)) so long as such Letter of Credit permits the applicable Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in such twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof within a time period during such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued; provided further that, if the Administrative

Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank each consents, in their sole discretion, the expiration date on any Letter of Credit may extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) above (so long as, if any such Letter of Credit is outstanding or the expiration date is extended to a date after the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date, the applicable Borrower shall Cash Collateralize each such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the Minimum L/C Collateral Amount on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date or, if later, such date of issuance).

(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 the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each such Lender, and each such Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in U.S. Dollars, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of (i) each L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank in U.S. Dollars and (ii) the U.S. Dollar Equivalent, using the Exchange Rates in effect on the date such payment is required, of each L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank in an Alternative Currency and, in each case, not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to such Borrower for any reason (or if such L/C Disbursement or reimbursement payment was refunded in an Alternative Currency, the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof using the Exchange Rate in effect on the date of such refund). Each 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 Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Facility Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. (i) If the applicable Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement, in the currency in which such L/C Disbursement is made together with accrued interest (based on ABR Loan or the applicable Base Rate Loan of such Borrower, as applicable) thereon from the date of such L/C Disbursement, not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the second Business Day after the applicable Borrower receives notice under paragraph (g) of this Section of such L/C Disbursement; provided that the applicable Borrower 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, a Base Rate Revolving Borrowing or a Swingline Borrowing, as applicable, in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing, Base Rate Borrowing or Swingline Borrowing.

(ii) If a Borrower fails to reimburse any L/C Disbursement when due, then (A) if such payment relates to an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, automatically and with no further action required, such Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the applicable

L/C Disbursement shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the U.S. Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rates on the date when such payment was due, of such L/C Disbursement and (B) in the case of each L/C Disbursement, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Bank and each Lender of the applicable L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from the applicable Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Facility Percentage in U.S. Dollars of the payment then due from such Borrower in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from such Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from a Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any L/C Disbursement (other than the funding of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, Base Rate Revolving Borrowing or a Swingline Borrowing as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement. If the applicable Borrower’s reimbursement of, or obligation to reimburse, any amounts in any Alternative Currency would subject the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or any Lender to any stamp duty, ad valorem charge or similar tax that would not be payable if such reimbursement were made or required to be made in U.S. Dollars, such Borrower shall, at its option, either (x) pay the amount of any such tax requested by the Administrative Agent, the relevant Issuing Bank or Lender or (y) reimburse each L/C Disbursement made in such Alternative Currency in U.S. Dollars, in an amount equal to the U.S. Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the applicable Exchange Rate on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, of such L/C Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of each Borrower to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (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 the applicable 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 Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the applicable Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor 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 or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or 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 consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank, or any of the circumstances referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first sentence; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the applicable 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 the applicable Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are determined by a final and binding decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been 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 or willful misconduct (found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction) on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank, 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, the applicable 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.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make a L/C 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 Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such L/C Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that such Borrower reimburses such L/C Disbursement, (i) if such L/C Disbursement is a L/C Disbursement made in U.S. Dollars, and at all times following the conversion to U.S. Dollars of a L/C Disbursement made in an Alternative Currency pursuant to paragraph (e) above, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans (in the case of the U.S. Borrower) or Base Rate Loans (in the case of other Borrowers) and (ii) if such L/C Disbursement is a L/C Disbursement made in an Alternative Currency, at all times prior to its conversion to U.S. Dollars pursuant to paragraph (e) above, at the applicable Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans at such time (or, in the case of a L/C Disbursement made in Canadian Dollars, at the Canadian Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin applicable to Canadian Base Rate Loans at such time); provided that, in each case, if such L/C Disbursement is not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.14(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing

Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the U.S. Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.13(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of such Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization Following Certain Events. If and when a Borrower is required to Cash Collateralize any Revolving L/C Exposure relating to any outstanding Letters of Credit pursuant to any of Sections 2.05(c), 2.12(b), 2.12(c), 2.23(c) or 7.01, such Borrower shall promptly deposit (but not later than on the same Business Day in the case of an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(h) or (i) or on the third Business Day following the date on which the U.S. Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent in the case of any other Event of Default, demanding the deposit of Cash Collateral pursuant to this paragraph) in an account with or at the direction of the Collateral Agent, in the name of the Collateral Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash in U.S. Dollars or the applicable Alternative Currency equal to the Revolving L/C Exposure as of such date (or, in the case of Sections 2.05(c), 2.12(b), 2.12(c) or 2.23(c), the portion thereof required by such sections) plus any accrued or unpaid interest thereon. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Alternative Currency Revolving L/C Exposure shall be calculated using the Exchange Rates on the date notice demanding Cash Collateralization is delivered to a Borrower (or the date of the Event of Default under Section 7.01(h) or (i), if applicable). Each deposit of Cash Collateral (i) made pursuant to this paragraph, (ii) made by the Administrative Agent during the continuation of an Event of Default or (iii) made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Sections 2.12(d), 2.19(b) or 2.23(f) shall in each case be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. The Collateral 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 (A) for so long as an Event of Default shall be continuing, the Collateral Agent and (B) at any other time, the applicable Borrower, in each case, in Permitted Investments and at the risk and expense of the Borrowers, 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 Collateral Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which such Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of

100

the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the Revolving L/C Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with Revolving L/C Exposure representing greater than 50.0% of the total Revolving L/C Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. If a Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the existence of a Defaulting Lender or the occurrence of a limit under Section 2.12(b) or 2.12(c) being exceeded, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived, the termination of the Defaulting Lender status or the limits under Sections 2.12(b) and 2.12(c) no longer being exceeded, as applicable.

(k) Cash Collateralization Following Termination and Prepayment of the Facility. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of the prepayment in full of all outstanding Revolving Facility Loans and the termination of all Revolving Facility Commitments by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.09(b) (a “Facility Termination Event”) in connection with which any Borrower notifies any one or more Issuing Banks that it intends to maintain one or more Letters of Credit initially issued under this Agreement in effect after the date of such Facility Termination Event (each, a “Continuing Letter of Credit”), then the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral under the Security Documents may be terminated in accordance with Section 9.19 if each such Continuing Letter of Credit is Cash Collateralized in an amount equal to the Minimum L/C Collateral Amount, which shall be deposited with or at the direction of each such Issuing Bank.

(l) Additional Issuing Banks. From time to time, the U.S. Borrower may by notice to the Administrative Agent designate additional Lenders (in addition to JPMCB), who may agree (in its or their sole discretion) to act in such capacity and who is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as an Issuing Bank. Each such additional Issuing Bank shall execute a counterpart of this Agreement upon the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and shall thereafter be an Issuing Bank hereunder for all purposes.

(m) Issuing Bank Agreements. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the first Business Day of each week, the daily activity (set forth by day) in respect of Letters of Credit during the immediately preceding week, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding hereunder after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed), it being understood that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Letter of Credit to occur without first obtaining written (or, with respect to any Issuing Bank, if the Administrative Agent so agrees with respect to such Issuing Bank, telephonic) confirmation from the Administrative Agent that it is then permitted under this Agreement, (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any L/C Disbursement in respect of any Letter of Credit issued hereunder, the date of such L/C Disbursement and the amount of such ▇/▇

▇▇▇

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, (▇▇) on any Business Day on which a Borrower fails to reimburse an L/C Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure, the applicable Borrower and the amount and currency of such L/C Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

(n) Conversion. In the event that the Loans become immediately due and payable on any date pursuant to Section 7.01, all amounts (i) that a Borrower is at the time or thereafter becomes required to reimburse or otherwise pay to the Administrative Agent in respect of L/C Disbursements made under any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (other than amounts in respect of which such Borrower has deposited Cash Collateral pursuant to paragraph (j) or (k) above, if such Cash Collateral was deposited in the applicable Alternative Currency to the extent so deposited or applied), (ii) that the Lenders are at the time or thereafter become required to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent is at the time or thereafter becomes required to distribute to the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section in respect of unreimbursed L/C Disbursements made under any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit and (iii) of each Lender’s participation in any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit under which an L/C Disbursement has been made shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the U.S. Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rates on such date (or in the case of any L/C Disbursement made after such date, on the date such L/C Disbursement is made), of such amounts. On and after such conversion, all amounts accruing and owed to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or any Lender in respect of the obligations described in this paragraph shall accrue and be payable in U.S. Dollars at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder.

(o) Original Letters of Credit. All Original Letters of Credit shall remain outstanding as Letters of Credit issued hereunder on the terms set forth herein. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, each Letter of Credit outstanding immediately prior to the Stage 2 Amendment Effective Date shall remain outstanding hereunder after giving effect to the Stage 2 Amendment Effective Date as Letters of Credit issued under the 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitments.

Section 2.06 Canadian Bankers’ Acceptances.

(a) Each acceptance and purchase of B/As of a single Contract Period pursuant to Section 2.01(b) or Section 2.08 shall be made ratably by the Lenders in accordance with the amounts of their Revolving Facility Commitments. The failure of any Lender to accept any B/A required to be accepted by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Revolving Facility Commitments are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to accept B/As as required hereunder.

(b) The B/As of a single Contract Period accepted and purchased on any date shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of C$1,000,000 and not less than C$1,000,000. The face amount of each B/A shall be C$100,000 or any whole multiple thereof. If any Lender’s ratable share of the B/As of any Contract Period to be accepted on any date would not be an integral multiple of C$100,000, the face amount of the B/As accepted by such Lender may be increased or reduced to the nearest integral multiple of C$100,000 by the Administrative Agent in

102

its sole discretion. B/As of more than one Contract Period may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of five B/A Drawings outstanding.

(c) To request an acceptance and purchase of B/As, the Canadian Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone or by facsimile not later than 10:00 a.m., Local Time, one Business Day before the date of such acceptance and purchase. Each such request shall be irrevocable and, if telephonic, shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Request signed by the Canadian Borrower. Each such telephonic request and Borrowing Request shall specify the following information:

(i) the aggregate face amount of the B/As to be accepted and purchased;

(ii) the date of such acceptance and purchase, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) the Contract Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Contract Period” (and which shall in no event end after the Maturity Date); and

(iv) the location and number of the Canadian Borrower’s account to which any funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.07. If no Contract Period is specified with respect to any requested acceptance and purchase of B/As, then the Canadian Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a Contract Period of 30 days’ duration.

Promptly following receipt of a request in accordance with this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of B/As to be accepted and purchased by such Lender.

(d) The Canadian Borrower hereby appoints each Lender as its attorney to sign and endorse on its behalf, manually or by facsimile or mechanical signature, as and when deemed necessary by such Lender, blank forms of B/As. It shall be the responsibility of each Lender to maintain an adequate supply of blank forms of B/As for acceptance under this Agreement. The Canadian Borrower recognizes and agrees that all B/As signed and/or endorsed on its behalf by any Lender shall bind the Canadian Borrower as fully and effectually as if manually signed and duly issued by authorized officers of the Canadian Borrower. Each Lender is hereby authorized to issue such B/As endorsed in blank in such face amounts as may be determined by such Lender to comply with any request of the Canadian Borrower hereunder; provided that the aggregate face amount thereof is equal to the aggregate face amount of B/As required to be accepted by such Lender. No Lender shall be liable for any damage, loss or claim arising by reason of any loss or improper use of any such instrument unless such loss or improper use results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender. Each Lender shall maintain a record with respect to B/As (i) received by it from the Administrative Agent in blank hereunder, (ii) voided by it for any reason, (iii) accepted and purchased by it hereunder and (iv) canceled at their respective maturities. Upon request by the Canadian Borrower, a Lender shall cancel all forms of B/A that

103

have been pre-signed or pre-endorsed on behalf of the Canadian Borrower and that are held by such Lender and are not required to be issued pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) Drafts of the Canadian Borrower to be accepted as B/As hereunder shall be signed as set forth in paragraph (d) above. Notwithstanding that any person whose signature appears on any B/A may no longer be an authorized signatory for any of the Lenders or the Canadian Borrower at the date of issuance of such B/A, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if such authority had remained in force at the time of such issuance and any such B/A so signed shall be binding on the Canadian Borrower.

(f) Upon acceptance of a B/A by a Lender, such Lender shall purchase, or arrange the purchase of, such B/A from the Canadian Borrower at the Discount B/A Rate for such Lender applicable to such B/A accepted by it and provide to the Administrative Agent the Discount Proceeds (net of applicable acceptance fees) for the account of the Canadian Borrower as provided in Section 2.07. The acceptance fee payable by the Canadian Borrower to a Lender under Section 2.13(c) in respect of each B/A accepted by such Lender shall be set off against the Discount Proceeds payable by such Lender under this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any B/A Drawing resulting from the conversion or continuation of a B/A Drawing or Revolving Facility Loan pursuant to Section 2.08, the net amount that would otherwise be payable to the Canadian Borrower by each Lender pursuant to this paragraph will be applied as provided in Section 2.08(f).

(g) Each Lender may at any time and from time to time hold, sell, rediscount or otherwise dispose of any or all B/A’s accepted and purchased by it hereunder.

(h) Each B/A accepted and purchased hereunder shall mature at the end of the Contract Period applicable thereto.

(i) The Canadian Borrower waives presentment for payment and any other defense to payment of any amounts due to a Lender in respect of a B/A accepted and purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement that might exist solely by reason of such B/A being held, at the maturity thereof, by such Lender in its own right and the Canadian Borrower agrees not to claim any days of grace if such Lender as holder sues the Canadian Borrower on the B/A for payment of the amounts payable by the Canadian Borrower thereunder. On the specified maturity date of a B/A, or such earlier date as may be required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Canadian Borrower shall pay the Lender that has accepted and purchased such B/A the full face amount of such B/A, and after such payment the Canadian Borrower shall have no further liability in respect of such B/A and such Lender shall be entitled to all benefits of, and be responsible for all payments due to third parties under, such B/A.

(j) At the option of the Canadian Borrower and any Lender, B/As under this Agreement to be accepted by that Lender may be issued in the form of depository bills for deposit with The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited pursuant to the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada) or bills of exchange pursuant to the Bills of Exchange Act. All depository bills so issued and all bills of exchange shall be governed by the provisions of this Section 2.06. If a Lender is not a bank or authorized foreign bank under the Bank Act (Canada) or if a Lender

104

notifies the Administrative Agent in writing that it is otherwise unable to accept B/As, such Lender will, instead of accepting and purchasing B/As, make a Loan (a “B/A Equivalent Loan”) to the Canadian Borrower in the amount and for the same term as the draft that such Lender would otherwise have been required to accept and purchase hereunder. Each such Lender will provide to the Administrative Agent the Discount Proceeds of such B/A Equivalent Loan for the account of the Canadian Borrower in the same manner as such Lender would have provided the Discount Proceeds in respect of the draft that such Lender would otherwise have been required to accept and purchase hereunder. Each such B/A Equivalent Loan will bear interest at the same rate that would result if such Lender had accepted (and been paid an acceptance fee) and purchased (on a discounted basis) a B/A for the relevant Contract Period (it being the intention of the parties that each such B/A Equivalent Loan shall have the same economic consequences for the Lenders and the Canadian Borrower as the B/A that such B/A Equivalent Loan replaces). All such interest shall be paid in advance on the date such B/A Equivalent Loan is made, and will be deducted from the principal amount of such B/A Equivalent Loan in the same amount and manner in which the deduction based on the Discount B/A Rate and the applicable acceptance fee of a B/A would be deducted from the face amount of the B/A. Subject to the repayment requirements of this Agreement, on the last day of the relevant Contract Period for such B/A Equivalent Loan, the Canadian Borrower shall be entitled to convert each such B/A Equivalent Loan into another type of Loan, or to roll over each such B/A Equivalent Loan into another B/A Equivalent Loan, all in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

(k) For the avoidance of doubt, each B/A or B/A Equivalent Loan outstanding immediately prior to the Stage 2 Amendment Effective Date, if any, shall remain outstanding hereunder after giving effect to the Stage 2 Amendment Effective Date as a B/A or B/A Equivalent Loan incurred under the 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitments.

Section 2.07 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it and disburse the Discount Proceeds (net of applicable acceptance fees) of each B/A to be accepted and purchased by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, 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 such Loans or Discount Proceeds (net of applicable acceptance fees) available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of such Borrower designated by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided further that ABR Revolving Loans, Base Rate Revolving Borrowings and Swingline Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement and reimbursements as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing or acceptance and purchase of B/As that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing or the applicable Discount Proceeds (net of applicable acceptance fees), the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph

105

(a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon 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 or the applicable Discount Proceeds (net of applicable acceptance fees) available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such 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 (A) (1) in the case of a Borrowing by the U.S. Borrower, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and (2) in the case of any other amount, the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount, and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by a Borrower, (1) if such amount is a Borrowing made to the U.S. Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans at such time, (2) if such amount is a Borrowing made in U.S. Dollars to the Canadian Borrower, the interest rate applicable to U.S. Base Rate Loans at such time, (3) if such amount is a B/A Drawing or a Canadian Dollar-denominated Borrowing made to the Canadian Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Canadian Base Rate Loans at such time and (4) if such amount is a Borrowing made to the Dutch Borrower, the German Borrower or a U.K. Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the applicable Base Rate Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing or such Lender’s purchase of B/As. If such Borrower pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount (exclusive of any interest thereon) shall constitute a reduction of such Borrowing or of the face amount of such B/As.

Section 2.08 Interest Elections.

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Each B/A Drawing shall have a Contract Period as specified in the applicable request therefor. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower may (subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement) elect to convert such Borrowing or B/A Drawing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing or B/A Drawing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section, it being understood that no B/A Drawing may be converted or continued other than at the end of the Contract Period applicable thereto. The applicable Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing or B/A Drawing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing or accepting B/As comprising such B/A Drawing, as the case may be, and the Loans or B/As resulting from an election made with respect to any such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing or B/A Drawing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, a Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone (provided that elections by a U.K. Borrower, the Dutch Borrower or the German Borrower cannot be made by telephone and must be made in writing) (i) in the case of an election that would result in a Borrowing, by the time that a

106

Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election and (ii) in the case of an election that would result in a B/A Drawing or the continuation of a B/A Drawing, by the time that a request would be required under Section 2.06 if such Borrower were requesting an acceptance and purchase of B/As to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the applicable Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no Borrower shall be permitted to elect an Interest Period for Eurocurrency Revolving Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d) or Contract Period for B/As that does not comply with 2.06(c)(iii).

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing or B/A Drawing 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 or B/A Drawing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing or B/A Drawing);

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

(iii) whether the resulting outstanding credit extension is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, a Base Rate Borrowing or a B/A Drawing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Revolving 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”, and in the case of an election of a B/A Drawing, the Contract Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Contract Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing or a B/A Drawing but does not specify an Interest Period or a Contract Period, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period or Contract Period, as applicable, of one month’s or 30 days’ duration, as applicable.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender to which such Interest Election Request relates of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing or B/A Drawing.

(e) If a Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing or a B/A Drawing prior to the end of the Interest Period or Contract Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing or B/A Drawing is repaid as

107

provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing or B/A Drawing shall (i) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars by the U.S. Borrower, be converted to an ABR Borrowing, (ii) in the case of a Borrowing by the Dutch Borrower, the German Borrower or a U.K. Borrower, be continued as a Base Rate Borrowing, (iii) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars by the Canadian Borrower, be converted to a U.S. Base Rate Borrowing, and (iv) in the case of a Borrowing or B/A Drawing denominated in Canadian Dollars, be converted to a Canadian Base Rate Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the written request (including a request through electronic means) of the Required Lenders, so notifies the U.S. Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing shall (A) in the case of such a Borrowing by the U.S. Borrower, be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (B) in the case of such a Borrowing by the Canadian Borrower, be converted to a U.S. Base Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto or (C) in the case of such a Borrowing by the Dutch Borrower, the German Borrower or a U.K. Borrower, be continued as a Base Rate Borrowing.

(f) Upon the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing (or portion thereof), or the continuation of any B/A Drawing (or portion thereof), to or as a B/A Drawing, the net amount that would otherwise be payable to the Canadian Borrower by each Lender pursuant to Section 2.06(f) in respect of such new B/A Drawing shall be applied against the principal of the Revolving Facility Loan made by such Lender as part of such Revolving Borrowing (in the case of a conversion), or the reimbursement obligation owed to such Lender under Section 2.06(i) in respect of the B/As accepted by such Lender as part of such maturing B/A Drawing (in the case of a continuation), and the Canadian Borrower shall pay to such Lender an amount equal to the difference between the principal amount of such Revolving Facility Loan or the aggregate face amount of such maturing B/As, as the case may be, and such net amount.

Section 2.09 Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments of each Class shall terminate on the Maturity Date for such Class. For the avoidance of doubt, on the Stage 2 Amendment Effective Date, the Revolving Facility Commitments in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Stage 2 Amendment Effective Date shall be replaced with the 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitments and shall not remain outstanding after giving effect to the effectiveness of the Stage 2 Amendment Effective Date, unless the 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitment of a Lender is structured as an extension of its Revolving Facility Commitments in effect immediately prior to the Stage 2 Amendment Effective Date, in which case the specified Revolving Facility Commitments of such Lender in effect immediately prior to the Stage 2 Amendment Effective Date shall, on the Stage 2 Amendment Effective Date, be extended as 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitments and, if applicable, reduced to be the amount of such Lender’s 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitment set forth on Annex II hereto (subject to further reduction pursuant to Section 2.01(a)).

108

(b) Any Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, any Class of the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of any Class of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1.0 million and not less than $5.0 million (or, if less, the remaining amount of such Class of the Commitments) and (ii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce any Commitment if, after giving effect to such termination or reduction and any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Facility Loans in accordance with Section 2.12 and any Cash Collateralization of Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.05(j) or (k), (A) the Total Revolving Facility Exposure would exceed the lesser of (x) the Total Revolving Facility Commitments and (y) the Global Borrowing Base, (B) the aggregate U.S. Revolving Facility Exposure would exceed the U.S. Sublimit or (C) the Total Revolving Facility Exposure less the German Revolving Facility Exposure would exceed the Specified Sublimit.

(c) The applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce any Class of the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by a Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of any Commitment delivered by a Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar financing agreements, in which case such notice may be revoked by such Borrower (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 pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class, except to the extent otherwise permitted by Section 2.21(b)(iii).

Section 2.10 Repayment of Loans and B/As; Evidence of Debt.

(a) Each 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 Facility Loan, Overadvance and Protective Advance of such Lender to such Borrower on the Maturity Date (provided that any Other Revolving Facility Loans shall be due and payable as set forth in the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement), (ii) in the case of the Canadian Borrower, to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the face amount of each B/A, if any, accepted by such Lender from the Canadian Borrower as provided in Section 2.06(i), and (iii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan to such Borrower on the earlier of (x) the Maturity Date, (y) 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 and (z) in the case of a Swingline Loan to the Dutch Borrower, the German Borrower or a U.K. Borrower, the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Swingline Loan; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made by the U.S. Borrower, the U.S. Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each

109

Loan made or B/A accepted by such Lender, including the amounts and currencies of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the currency thereof, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, and the amount of each B/A and the Contract Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest, or other amount in respect of any B/A, due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) any amount received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence, currencies and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note (a “Promissory Note”). In such event, each Borrower under such Class shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Promissory Note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the applicable Borrower. 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 order of the payee named therein (or, if such Promissory Note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

Section 2.11 Notice of Prepayment; Etc.

(a) Prior to any repayment or prepayment of any Borrowing or amounts owing in respect of outstanding B/A Drawings hereunder, the applicable Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings and B/A Drawing or B/A Drawings to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by electronic means) (provided that repayments or prepayments by a U.K. Borrower, the Dutch Borrower or the German Borrower cannot be notified by telephone and must be made in writing) of such selection (i) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, a Base Rate Borrowing or a B/A Drawing, not later than 12:00 p.m., Local Time, one Business Day before the scheduled date of such repayment or prepayment and (ii) in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, three Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment or prepayment; provided that a notice of repayment or prepayment delivered by a Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar financing agreements, in which case such notice may be revoked by such Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. In the case of prepayments under Section 2.12(a), the Borrowers may in their sole discretion select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid. Each repayment or prepayment of a Borrowing or amounts owing in respect of

110

outstanding B/A Drawings shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing or the B/As included in such B/A Drawing, except to the extent otherwise permitted by Section 2.21(b)(iii). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding sentence, prior to any repayment of a Swingline Borrowing hereunder, the U.S. Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than 12:00 p.m., Local Time, on the scheduled date of such repayment. Repayments and prepayments of Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.11, if the original Maturity Date with respect to the Revolving Facility Commitment shall be changed to an earlier date pursuant to the definition of the term “Maturity Date” or the proviso to the definition of the term “Extended Maturity Date”, then, to the extent not previously paid, outstanding Revolving Facility Loans, Overadvances, Protective Advances, B/As and Swingline Loans shall be due and payable on such earlier date; provided that any Other Revolving Facility Loans shall be due and payable as set forth in the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement.

(c) Amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section or Section 7.01 to prepay or repay amounts to become due with respect to outstanding B/As shall be deposited in the Prepayment Account (as defined below). On the last day of the Contract Period of each B/A to be prepaid or repaid, the Administrative Agent shall apply any cash on deposit in the Prepayment Account to amounts due in respect of the relevant B/As until all amounts due in respect of the relevant outstanding B/As have been satisfied (with any remaining funds being returned to the Canadian Borrower) or until all the allocable cash on deposit has been exhausted. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Prepayment Account” shall mean an account established by the Canadian Borrower with the Administrative Agent and over which the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal for application in accordance with this paragraph (c). The Administrative Agent will, at the request of the Canadian Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to invest amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account in short-term, cash equivalent investments selected by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Canadian Borrower that mature prior to the last day of the applicable Contract Periods of the B/As to be prepaid; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to invest amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Canadian Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for any losses relating to the investments made at the request or direction of the Canadian Borrower so that the amount available to prepay amounts due in respect of B/As on the last day of the applicable Contract Period is not less than the amount that would have been available had no investments been made pursuant thereto. Other than any interest earned on such investments (which shall be for the account of the Canadian Borrower, to the extent not necessary for the prepayment of B/As in accordance with this Section), the Prepayment Account shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall be deposited in the Prepayment Account and reinvested and disbursed as specified above. If the maturity of the Loans and all amounts due hereunder has been accelerated pursuant to Section 7.01, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, apply all amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account to satisfy any of the Obligations of the Canadian Borrower in respect of Revolving Facility Loans and B/As (and

111

the Canadian Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent a security interest in the Prepayment Account to secure such Obligations).

Section 2.12 Prepayment of Loans.

(a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.17), in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum or, if less, the amount outstanding, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 2.11(a).

(b) Subject to Sections 2.01(b) and (c) and Section 2.19(b), in the event that (i) the Total Revolving Facility Exposure exceeds the lesser of (x) the Total Revolving Facility Commitments and (y) the Global Borrowing Base, (ii) the aggregate U.S. Revolving Facility Exposure exceeds the U.S. Sublimit or (iii) the Total Revolving Facility Exposure less the German Revolving Facility Exposure exceeds the Specified Sublimit, then the applicable Borrower(s) shall promptly repay outstanding Revolving Facility Loans and/or Cash Collateralize Revolving L/C Exposure in accordance with Section 2.05(j) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided that, in each case, if such excess arises solely as a result of currency rate fluctuations, such repayment or Cash Collateralization, as the case may be, shall not be required to be made until the third Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have delivered to the Borrowers written notice of such required prepayment or deposit.

(c) In the event and on such occasion as the Revolving L/C Exposure exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit, at the request of the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower shall deposit Cash Collateral in an account with the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(j) in an amount equal to such excess.

(d) During the continuance of an Availability Trigger Event, subject to Section 2.23, on each Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall apply, or cause to be applied, all funds credited to the Controlled Accounts on such Business Day, first to prepay Protective Advances and Overadvances that may be outstanding; second to prepay Swingline Loans that may be outstanding; third to any prepayment of Revolving Facility Loans; fourth to pay any other Loan Document Obligation owing by any Borrower then due and payable, and fifth, if any Event of Default is outstanding at such time, to Cash Collateralize outstanding Revolving L/C Exposure and Overadvances, to the extent required hereunder. Any such application of funds shall be made (i) from Controlled Accounts of the Domestic Loan Parties first in respect of Loan Document Obligations of the Domestic Loan Parties and second in respect of Loan Document Obligations of the Foreign Subsidiary Loan Parties and (ii) from Controlled Accounts of the Foreign Subsidiary Loan Parties shall be made solely in respect of Loan Document Obligations of the Foreign Subsidiary Loan Parties.

(e) Subject to Sections 2.01(b) and (c) and 2.19(b), in the event that any net cash proceeds are received by the U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary pursuant to Section 6.05(l), the Borrowers shall promptly apply such net cash proceeds to repay outstanding Revolving Facility Loans, if any (without reduction of any Revolving Facility Commitments).

112

Section 2.13 Fees.

(a) The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, three Business Days after the last day of March, June, September and December in each year, and three Business Days after the date on which the Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) on the average daily amount of the Available Unused Commitment of such Lender during the preceding quarter (or other period ending with the date on which the last of the Commitments of such Lender shall be terminated) at a rate equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee. All Commitment Fees shall be payable in U.S. Dollars and computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. For the purpose of calculating any Lender’s Commitment Fee, the outstanding Swingline Loans during the period for which such Lender’s Commitment Fee is calculated shall be deemed to be zero. The Commitment Fee due to each Lender shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date and shall cease to accrue on the date on which the last of the Commitments of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein. For purposes of computing the average daily amount of any Revolving L/C Exposure for any period under this Section 2.13(a) and under Section 2.13(b), the average daily amount of Alternative Currency Revolving L/C Exposure for such period shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the average daily balance of each Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (expressed in the currency in which such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit is denominated) by (ii) the Exchange Rate for the Alternative Currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated in effect on the last Business Day of such period or by such other reasonable method that the Administrative Agent deems appropriate.

(b) The U.S. Borrower from time to time agrees to pay (i) to each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, three Business Days after the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and three Business Days after the date on which the Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (an “L/C Participation Fee”) on such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the daily aggregate Revolving L/C Exposure (excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements), during the preceding quarter (or shorter period ending with the applicable Maturity Date or the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments shall be terminated) at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowings effective for each day in such period and (ii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, (x) three Business Days after the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and three Business Days after the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a fronting fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the termination of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate equal to the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of 0.125% per annum of the daily average stated amount of such Letter of Credit (or as otherwise agreed with such Issuing Bank), plus (y) in connection with the issuance, amendment or transfer of any such Letter of Credit or any L/C Disbursement thereunder, such Issuing Bank’s customary documentary and processing fees and charges (collectively, “Issuing Bank Fees”). All L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees are payable in U.S. Dollars and shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

113

(c) The Canadian Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, on each date on which B/As drawn by the Canadian Borrower are accepted hereunder, in Canadian Dollars, an acceptance fee computed by multiplying the face amount of each such B/A by the product of (i) the Applicable Margin for B/A Drawings on such date and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Contract Period applicable to such B/A and the denominator of which is 365.

(d) The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Administrative Agent, the fees set forth in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter, at the times specified therein (the “Administrative Agent Fees”).

(e) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Banks. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.14 Interest.

(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan to the U.S. Borrower) shall bear interest at the ABR plus the Applicable Margin, the Loans comprising each U.S. Base Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at the U.S. Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, the Loans comprising each Canadian Base Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at the Canadian Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, the Loans comprising each other Base Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at the applicable Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin and the Loans comprising each Overnight LIBO Borrowing shall bear interest at the Overnight LIBO Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

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

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any Fees or other amount payable by the applicable 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, 2.0% plus the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.0% plus the interest rate that would have applied had such amount, during the period of non-payment, constituted (A) in the case of an amount owed by the U.S. Borrower, an ABR Loan or (B) in the case of any other amount, a Base Rate Loan to the applicable Borrower that owes such amount in the currency of the overdue amount; provided that this paragraph (c) shall not apply to any Event of Default that has been waived by the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.08.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and (ii) in the case of Loans in respect of any Class, upon termination of the Commitments in respect of such Class; provided that (x) interest accrued pursuant to

114

paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (y) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan, Base Rate Revolving Loan or a Swingline Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (z) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Revolving 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 (A) the ABR at times when the ABR is based on the U.S. Prime Rate, (B) the U.S. Base Rate at times when the U.S. Base Rate is based on the rate described in clause (a) of the definition thereof, (C) Loans denominated in Sterling or (D) the Canadian Base Rate, in each case 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 ABR, Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or Base Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day or 365-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or 365, as the case may be. The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement.

Section 2.15 Market Disruption; Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) If at the time that the Administrative Agent shall seek to determine the Screen Rate on the Quotation Day for any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Revolving Loan, the Screen Rate shall not be available for such Interest Period for any reason and the Administrative Agent shall determine that it is not possible to determine the Interpolated Rate (which conclusion shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error), then the Reference Bank Rate shall be the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Revolving Loan; provided that if any Reference Bank Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement; provided, further, that if, as of the Specified Time on the Quotation Day for such Interest Period, less than two Reference Banks shall have supplied a Submitted Reference Bank Rate to the Administrative Agent for purposes of determining the LIBO Rate for such Eurocurrency Revolving Loan, the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have determined that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Eurocurrency Revolving Loan and Section 2.15(b)(i) shall apply.

(b) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing denominated in any currency:

115

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

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, the LIBO Rate or the EURO LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such currency for such Interest Period, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the applicable Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the applicable Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing denominated in such currency shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to or continued as on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (A) if such Borrowing is a Borrowing by the U.S. Borrower, an ABR Borrowing, and (B) if such Borrowing is a Borrowing by the Dutch Borrower, the German Borrower or a U.K. Borrower, or a Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars, a Base Rate Borrowing and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing in such currency, (A) if such Borrowing is a Borrowing by the U.S. Borrower, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing, and (B) if such Borrowing is a Borrowing by the Dutch Borrower, the German Borrower or a U.K. Borrower, or a Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars, a Base Rate Borrowing.

Section 2.16 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

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

(ii) subject the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes, Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letter of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributed thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Revolving Loans or B/A Drawings made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan or obtaining funds for the purchase of B/As (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or to accept and purchase B/As) or to increase the cost to such Lender or

116

Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. If any Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Swingline Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has 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 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 such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time, after submission by such Lender or Issuing Bank to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the U.S. Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Promptly after any Lender or any Issuing Bank has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.16, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall notify the U.S. Borrower thereof. 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 the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, notifies the U.S. Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs 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 reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.17 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Revolving Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period

117

applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Revolving Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of Section 2.21), (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Revolving Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Revolving 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 2.20 or the CAM Exchange, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to be the 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 Eurocurrency Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, 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 a Eurocurrency Revolving Loan, 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 that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to such Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Such Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.18 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in good faith judgment of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Taxes from such payments by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.18) the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay on a timely basis any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for such Other Taxes.

(c) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within ten days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.18) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such person and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with

118

respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Loan Party by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf, on behalf of another Agent or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten days after written demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c)(i) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.18, 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.

(f) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Loan Party is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to such Loan Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), to the extent such Lender is legally entitled to do so, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as may reasonably be requested by such Loan Party to permit such payments to be made without such withholding tax or at a reduced rate; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation under this paragraph (f)(i) with respect to any withholding Tax imposed by any jurisdiction other than the United States of America, Canada or the Federal Republic of Germany if in the reasonable judgment of such Lender such compliance would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect.

(ii) In the event that the relevant Loan Party is a U.K. Borrower and a Lender is a Treaty Lender that holds a valid passport under the United Kingdom HM Revenue & Customs Double Taxation Treaty Passport scheme (the “DTTP Scheme”) and that Treaty Lender wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement and has determined in accordance with the terms of its passport that all conditions for treaty relief have been met, that Lender shall confirm its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence

119

in writing to the relevant U.K. Borrower and the Administrative Agent as soon as possible and in any event fifteen (15) days before the date by which the U.K. Borrowers are required to file form DTTP2 (or such alternative form as may be specified by HM Revenue & Customs from time to time) in accordance with this clause 2.18(f)(ii). Following receipt of such notification, the relevant U.K. Borrower shall, in respect of each Treaty Lender that has provided it with a DTTP Scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence, submit a duly completed form DTTP2 (or such alternative form as may be specified by HM Revenue & Customs from time to time) to HM Revenue & Customs within 30 days of the date of this Agreement, or where the relevant Treaty Lender becomes a Lender after the date of this Agreement, within 30 days of the date of the relevant Assignment and Acceptance executed by that Lender, or where the relevant U.K. Borrower becomes a Borrower after the date of this Agreement, within 30 days of the date on which that Borrower becomes a Borrower, and the relevant U.K. Borrower shall promptly in each case provide the relevant Treaty Lender and the Administrative Agent with a copy of that filing. Nothing in this clause 2.18(f)(ii) shall require any Treaty Lender to (x) register under the DTTP Scheme, (y) apply the DTTP Scheme to any Loan or Letter of Credit if it has registered under the DTTP Scheme; or (z) file Treaty forms or take any other action pursuant to this Section 2.18(f) with respect to a relevant U.K. Borrower if it has given notification to the relevant U.K. Borrower and the Administrative Agent to the effect that it wishes the DTTP Scheme to apply to this Agreement in accordance with this Section 2.18(f)(ii), except where (i) the relevant U.K. Borrower has submitted a duly completed form DTTP2 (or such alternative form as may be specified by HM Revenue & Customs from time to time) to HM Revenue & Customs within the required time period but it has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs; (ii) the relevant Treaty Lender ceases to hold a valid passport under the DTTP Scheme; or (iii) the DTTP Scheme has been withdrawn.

(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 applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.18(f)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the 2015 Amendment Effective Date, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

(g) (i) The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrowers (in such number of copies as shall be requested by a Borrower) on or prior to the date on which the

120

Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and from time to time thereafter (A) promptly upon the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered to the Administrative Agent and (B) upon the reasonable request of a Borrower, a properly completed and duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8IMY (or any other form prescribed by Requirement of Law reasonably requested by a Borrower), which, in the event a Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States of America, certifies that payments by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent (solely in its capacity as payee of such payments and not as the beneficial owner of such payments) are exempt from withholding under the Code.

(ii) If the Administrative Agent is a U.S. branch described in Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)(A) of the Treasury Regulations and delivers to the Borrowers a properly completed and duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY pursuant to Section 2.18(f)(i) certifying that the Administrative Agent is a U.S. branch and intends to be treated as a U.S. person for purposes of withholding under Chapter 3 of the Code, then the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat the Administrative Agent as a U.S. person for purposes of withholding under Chapter 3 of the Code, pursuant to Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Treasury Regulations.

(iii) In the event a Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States of America,

(A) each Foreign Lender shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two original copies of whichever of the following is applicable: (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto), claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party, (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto), (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3) or 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) and (iv) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, together with forms and certificates described in clauses (i) through (iii) above (and additional Form W-8IMYs) as may be required; and

(B) each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two copies of Internal Revenue Service

121

Form W-9 (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) on or before the date such Lender becomes a party and upon the expiration of any form previously delivered by such Lender, certifying that payments to such Lender are exempt from withholding under the Code.

(iv) Each Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States of America federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. In addition, in each of the foregoing circumstances, each Foreign Lender shall deliver such forms, if legally entitled to deliver such forms, promptly upon the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender. Each Lender shall promptly notify a Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to such Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the United States of America or other taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause, a Foreign Lender (for the avoidance of doubt, acting solely in its capacity as a Lender) shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this clause that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(h) If any party determines, in good faith and in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified or with respect to which such indemnifying party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.18, it shall pay over such refund to such indemnifying party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid under this Section 2.18 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) of such indemnified party, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph (h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems, in good faith and in its sole discretion, to be confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other person.

122

Section 2.19 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a) Unless otherwise specified, each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, face amount of B/As, interest, fees or reimbursement of L/C Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off 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 the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to such Borrower by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to the applicable Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 9.05 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder 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. All payments under each Loan Document of (i) principal or interest in respect of any Loan or amounts owing in respect of any B/A Drawing (or of any breakage indemnity in respect of any Loan or B/A Drawing) shall be made in the currency of such Loan or B/A Drawing and (ii) all other payments hereunder and under each other Loan Document shall be made in U.S. Dollars, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from any Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, face amount of B/As, unreimbursed L/C Disbursements, interest and fees then due from such Borrower hereunder, such funds or proceeds of Collateral shall be applied, subject to the Security Documents, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and any other applicable intercreditor agreement: first, ratably, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Issuing Bank from such Borrower; second, ratably, to pay interest due and payable in respect of, Protective Advances and Overadvances; third, ratably, to pay the outstanding principal of Protective Advances and Overadvances; fourth, ratably, to pay the outstanding principal of any Swingline Loans; fifth, ratably, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from such Borrower; sixth, ratably, to pay interest due and payable in respect of any unreimbursed L/C Disbursements, Revolving Facility Loans and outstanding B/A Drawings; seventh, ratably, to pay the outstanding principal of the Revolving Facility Loans (other than Protective Advances and Overadvances), unreimbursed L/C Disbursements and face amount of B/As then due from such Borrower hereunder; eighth, ratably, to Cash Collateralize Revolving L/C Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j); ninth, ratably, to the payment of any amounts due and owing in respect of applicable Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements; and tenth, ratably, to pay all other applicable Obligations due to the Agents, Issuing

123

Banks or any Lender by such Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) subject to Section 6.02(jj), the amounts payable under any Designated Secured Cash Management Agreements and Designated Secured Hedge Agreements shall be repaid ratably with the seventh item in this waterfall, (ii) proceeds of Collateral of Foreign Subsidiary Loan Parties shall be applied only to the repayment of Obligations of the Foreign Subsidiary Loan Parties and (iii) no proceeds of Collateral of Domestic Loan Parties shall be applied to the Obligations of the Foreign Subsidiary Loan Parties until the Obligations of the Domestic Loan Parties shall have been paid in full or Cash Collateralized in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no amount received from any Guarantor, or from the proceeds of Collateral pledged by such Guarantor, shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Guarantor.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Facility Loans, amounts owing in respect of B/A Drawings or participations in L/C Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Facility Loans, amounts owing in respect of B/A Drawings and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon hereunder than the proportion received by any other Lender entitled thereto, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase participations in the Revolving Facility Loans, amounts owing in respect of B/A Drawings and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders entitled thereto ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Facility Loans, amounts owing in respect of B/A Drawings and participations in L/C 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 (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement 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 L/C Disbursements to any Assignee or Participant. 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 set-off 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 a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

▇▇▇

▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ (▇) (1) in the case of Loans to the U.S. Borrower, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, (2) in the case of any other Loans or amounts owing in respect of B/A Drawings, the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount, (3) in the case of any other amounts denominated in U.S. Dollars, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and (4) in the case of any other amount denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount, and (B) 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 pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.19(d) or 2.23, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.20 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.18, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The applicable Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, or is a Defaulting Lender, then the U.S. 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 to an Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the U.S. Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, amounts owing in respect of B/A Drawings and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal, amounts owing in respect of B/A Drawings and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.16 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.18, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. Nothing in this

125

Section 2.20 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that a Borrower may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender. No action by or consent of the removed Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such removed Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04; provided that, if such removed Lender does not comply with this Section 2.20 within three (3) Business Days after such Borrower’s request, compliance with this Section 2.20 shall not be required to effect such assignment.

(c) If any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that pursuant to the terms of Section 9.08 requires the consent of all the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent (any such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, provided no Event of Default then exists, the U.S. Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) at its sole expense (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)(ii)(B)) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and Commitments hereunder to one or more Assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks ; provided that: (a) all Loan Document Obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. No action by or consent of the Non-Consenting Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically be effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04; provided that if such Non-Consenting Lender does not comply with Section 9.04 within 3 Business Days after the U.S. Borrower’s request, compliance with Section 9.04 shall not be required to effect such assignment.

Section 2.21 Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments.

(a) Any Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments in an amount not to exceed the Incremental Amount (unless constituting an Extension in accordance with clauses (e) through (i) of this Section 2.21) at the time of such request from one or more Incremental Revolving Facility Lenders (which may include any existing Lender) willing to provide such Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments in their own discretion; provided that each Incremental Revolving Facility Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless such Incremental Revolving Facility Lender is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund. Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $2.5 million and a minimum amount of $10.0 million or equal to the remaining Incremental Amount or such lesser amount acceptable to the Administrative Agent), (ii) the date on which such Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments are requested to become effective, and (iii) whether such Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments are to be (A) commitments to make additional

126

Revolving Facility Loans on the same terms as such Revolving Facility Loans in effect on the Amendment Effective Date and/or under the 2016 Extended Revolving Facility Commitments (the “Initial Revolving Facility Loans”) or (B) commitments to make revolving loans with pricing terms, final maturity date and/or upfront or similar fees or other terms different from the Initial Revolving Facility Loans (such commitments, the “Other Revolving Facility Commitments”, and such revolving loans, the “Other Revolving Facility Loans”).

(b) The applicable Borrowers and each Incremental Revolving Facility Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment of such Incremental Revolving Facility Lender. Each Incremental Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of the applicable Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments; provided that:

(i) the Other Revolving Facility Loans shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and of security with the Initial Revolving Facility Loans and, except as to pricing, final maturity date, participation in prepayments or commitment reductions and/or upfront or similar fees, shall have (x) the same terms as the Initial Revolving Facility Loans or (y) such other terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,

(ii) the final maturity date of any Other Revolving Facility Loans shall be no earlier than the Maturity Date then in effect for the Initial Revolving Facility Loans,

(iii) the Other Revolving Facility Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in comparison to the Initial Revolving Facility Loans in any voluntary or mandatory prepayment or commitment reduction hereunder, and

(iv) the All-in Yield shall be the same as that applicable to the Initial Revolving Facility Loans, except that the All-in Yield in respect of any such Other Revolving Facility Loan may exceed the All-in Yield in respect of any Initial Revolving Facility Loans by not more than 0.50% or, in each case, if such Other Revolving Facility Loans do so exceed such All-in Yield (such difference, the “Yield Differential”) then the Applicable Margin applicable to all Initial Revolving Facility Loans shall be increased such that after giving effect to such increase, the Yield Differential shall not exceed 0.50%. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments evidenced thereby as provided for in Section 9.08(e). Any amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document that is necessary to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21 and any such collateral and other documentation shall be deemed “Loan Documents” hereunder and may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers and furnished to the other parties hereto.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.21 unless (i) on the date of such

127

effectiveness, to the extent required by the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement, the conditions set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of Section 4.01 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Responsible Officer of the U.S. Borrower, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received customary legal opinions, board resolutions and other customary closing certificates and documentation to the extent required by the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement and, to the extent required by the Administrative Agent, consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date and such additional customary documents and filings (including amendments to the Mortgages and other Security Documents and title endorsement bringdowns) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to assure that the additional Revolving Facility Loans and/or the Other Revolving Facility Loans in respect of the Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments are secured by the Collateral ratably with (or, to the extent contemplated by the Incremental Assumption Agreement, junior to) the then existing Revolving Facility Loans and (iii) after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment, the U.S. Borrower and the Subsidiaries shall be in compliance with the Financial Performance Covenant on a Pro Forma Basis.

(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all additional Revolving Facility Loans in respect of Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments (other than Other Revolving Facility Loans), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Revolving Facility Loans on a pro rata basis. The Borrowers agree that Section 2.17 shall apply to any conversion of Eurocurrency Revolving Loans to ABR Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans, as applicable, as reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to effect the foregoing.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers made from time to time by a Borrower to all Lenders of any Class of Commitments, on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding Commitments under such Class) and on the same terms (“Pro Rata Extension Offers”), such Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate transactions with individual Lenders from time to time to extend the maturity date of such Lender’s Commitments of such Class and to otherwise modify the terms of such Lender’s Commitments of such Class pursuant to the terms of the relevant Pro Rata Extension Offer (including without limitation increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Lender’s Commitments of such Class). For the avoidance of doubt, the reference to “on the same terms” in the preceding sentence shall mean, in the case of an offer to the Lenders under any Class of Revolving Facility Commitments, that all of the Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class are offered to be extended for the same amount of time and that the interest rate changes and fees payable with respect to such extension of such Class are the same. Any such extension (an “Extension”) agreed to between such Borrower and any such Lender (an “Extending Lender”) will be established under this Agreement by implementing an Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment for such Lender (such extended Revolving Facility Commitment, an “Extended Revolving Facility Commitment”).

(f) The applicable Borrower and each Extending Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Extended Revolving Facility Commitments of such Extending Lender. Each Incremental Assumption

128

Agreement shall specify the terms of the applicable Extended Revolving Facility Commitments; provided that (i) except as to pricing, final maturity date, participation in prepayments or commitment reductions and/or upfront or similar fees (which shall be determined by such Borrower and set forth in the Pro Rata Extension Offer), any Extended Revolving Facility Commitment shall have (A) the same terms as an existing Class of Revolving Facility Commitments or (B) have such other terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) any Extended Revolving Facility Commitments may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments or commitment reductions hereunder. Upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Revolving Facility Commitments evidenced thereby as provided for in Section 9.08(e). Any such deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers and furnished to the other parties hereto. If provided in any Incremental Assumption Agreement with respect to any Extended Revolving Facility Commitments, and with the consent of each Swingline Lender and Issuing Bank, participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be reallocated to Lenders holding such Extended Revolving Facility Commitments in the manner specified in such Incremental Assumption Agreement, including upon effectiveness of such Extended Revolving Facility Commitment or upon or prior to the maturity date for any Class of Revolving Facility Commitment.

(g) Upon the effectiveness of any such Extension, the applicable Extending Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment will be automatically designated an Extended Revolving Facility Commitment. For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such Extending Lender will be deemed to have an Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment having the terms of such Extended Revolving Facility Commitment.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, this Section 2.21), (i) the aggregate amount of Extended Revolving Facility Commitments will not be included in the calculation of the Incremental Amount or be subject to availability under the Incremental Amount, (ii) no Extended Revolving Facility Commitment is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, (iii) any Extending Lender may extend all or any portion of its Revolving Facility Commitment pursuant to one or more Pro Rata Extension Offers (subject to applicable proration in the case of over participation) (including the extension of any Extended Revolving Facility Commitment), (iv) there shall be no condition to any Extension of any Commitment at any time or from time to time other than notice to the Administrative Agent of such Extension and the terms of the Extended Revolving Facility Commitment implemented thereby, (v) no consent of any Lender or Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Loans and/or Commitments (or a portion thereof), (vi) all Extended Revolving Facility Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations of the relevant Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations of the relevant Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (vii) no Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender shall be obligated to provide Swingline Loans or issue Letters of Credit under such Extended Revolving Facility Commitments beyond the applicable maturity date of the

129

applicable Commitments that were extended by such Extended Revolving Facility Commitments unless it shall have consented thereto.

(i) Each Extension shall be consummated pursuant to procedures set forth in the corresponding Pro Rata Extension Offer; provided that the applicable Borrower shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent prior to making any Pro Rata Extension Offer to establish reasonable procedures with respect to mechanical provisions relating to such Extension, including, without limitation, timing, rounding and other adjustments.

Section 2.22 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any change in law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Revolving Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Revolving Loans or to convert ABR Borrowings or Base Rate Borrowings to Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowings shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), either convert all Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowings of such Lender to ABR Borrowings or Base Rate Borrowings, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

Section 2.23 Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) Commitment Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Available Unused Commitment of such Defaulting Lender;

(b) Any Revolving Facility Commitment or any Revolving Facility Loan of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders, Special Majority Lenders or Super Majority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.08); provided that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender under Section 9.04(a)(i) or subclauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the first proviso to Section 9.08(b);

(c) If any Swingline Exposure or Revolving L/C Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:

(i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and Revolving L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Facility Percentages, but only to the

130

extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Facility Exposure plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and Revolving L/C Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Facility Commitments;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable Borrower shall, within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Bank only such Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j) for so long as such Revolving L/C Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if any Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure pursuant to subclause (ii) above, such Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.13 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure is Cash Collateralized;

(iv) if the Revolving L/C Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to subclause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Facility Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure is neither reallocated nor Cash Collateralized pursuant to subclause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all fees payable under Section 2.13 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure shall be payable to such Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such Revolving L/C Exposure is reallocated and/or Cash Collateralized; and

(d) So long as such 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 or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Revolving L/C Exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Facility Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or Cash Collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.23(c), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.23(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

(e) In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks each agrees (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and Revolving L/C Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment and

131

on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Revolving Facility Percentage.

(f) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, following an Event of Default or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.06 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Revolving L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.05(j); fourth, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement, and (y) Cash Collateralize the future Revolving L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.05(j); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the applicable Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

THE AGENTS

Section 8.01 Appointment.

(a) Each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender and the Swingline Lender (if applicable) and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Ancillary Agreements) and each Issuing Bank (in such capacity and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Ancillary Agreements) hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender and Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including as the Collateral Agent for such Lender and the other Secured Parties under the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, and each such Lender and Issuing Bank irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other 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 governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s behalf, in any form, notarial or otherwise. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or Issuing Bank, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may 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 or Issuing Bank because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender or Issuing Bank failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or

189

for any other reason, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which such Agent is expressly entitled to take or assert under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 7.01, and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by the Lenders and Issuing Banks.

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender and the Swingline Lender (if applicable) and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Ancillary Agreements) and each Issuing Bank (in such capacity and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Ancillary Agreements) hereby appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and Issuing Bank for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Agent (and any Subagents appointed by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights or remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent) shall be entitled to the benefits of this Article VIII (including, without limitation, Section 8.07) and Section 9.05.

Section 8.02 Delegation of Duties. Each of the Agents may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys‑in‑fact (to which it shall be entitled to grant power of attorney for these purposes) and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. None of the Agents shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys‑in‑fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent may also from time to time, when the Administrative Agent deems it to be necessary or desirable, appoint one or more trustees, co-trustees, collateral co-agents, collateral subagents or attorneys-in-fact (each, a “Subagent”) with respect to all or any part of the Collateral; provided that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Administrative Agent. Should any instrument in writing from any Borrower or any other Loan Party be required by any Subagent so appointed by the Administrative Agent to more fully or certainly vest in and confirm to such Subagent such rights, powers, privileges and duties, such Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent. If any Subagent, or successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Subagent, to the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Subagent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent,

190

attorney-in-fact or Subagent that it selects in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.02 in the absence of the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction).

Section 8.03 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent or its Affiliates nor any of their respective Related Parties shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (x) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (y) the Administrative Agent shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Holdings, any Borrower or any of its respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Section 8.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, electronic transmission, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Holdings or the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it

191

orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to any Credit Event, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to such Credit Event. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to Holdings or any of the Borrowers), 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 deem and treat the payee of any Promissory Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

Section 8.05 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender, Holdings or the U.S. Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders); provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

Section 8.06 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their Related Parties have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such

192

documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys‑in‑fact or Affiliates.

Section 8.07 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent and each Issuing Bank in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Holdings or the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of Holdings or the Borrowers to do so), in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its Total Revolving Facility Exposure and unused Commitments hereunder), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent or such Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent or such Issuing Bank under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s or such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The failure of any Lender to reimburse any Agent or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such other Lender’s ratable share of such amount. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 8.08 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, purchase and accept B/As from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued, or Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan participated in, by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

193

Section 8.09 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 20 days’ notice to the Lenders and the U.S. Borrower; provided that, for purposes of the Dutch Security Documents, the German Security Documents, the U.S. Guarantee Agreement and the Foreign Guarantee Agreement, any resignation by the Administrative Agent shall not be effective with respect to its rights under the Parallel Debts until such rights are assigned to the successor agent. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the U.S. Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent prior to the expiration of the 20-day period referred to above, upon the expiration of such period, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent will reasonably cooperate in assigning its rights under such Parallel Debts to any such successor agent and will reasonably cooperate in transferring all rights under the Dutch Security Documents or the German Security Documents to such successor agent.

Section 8.10 Syndication Agents, Documentation Agents and Joint Lead Arrangers. None of the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents and the Joint Lead Arrangers shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.

Section 8.11 Intercreditor Agreements. Each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender and the Swingline Lender (if applicable) and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Ancillary Agreements) and each Issuing Bank (in such capacity and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Ancillary Agreements) hereby acknowledge, and agree to, the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the 1-1/2 Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, and further agree that (a) the Agents may, from time to time on and after the Closing Date, without any further consent of any Lender, Issuing Bank or counterparty to an Ancillary Agreement, enter into amendments to, amendments and restatements of, and/or replacements of, any Intercreditor Agreement, and to enter into any other intercreditor agreement with the collateral agent or other representatives of the holders of Indebtedness that is permitted to be secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is permitted under this Agreement, in each case in order to effect the first-priority Liens of the ABL Priority Collateral and to provide for certain additional rights, obligations and limitations in respect of, any Liens required or permitted by the terms of this Agreement to be Second-Priority Liens, Notes-Priority Liens or other Liens

194

that are, in each case, incurred in accordance with Article VI of this Agreement, and to establish certain relative rights as between the holders of the Obligations and the holders of the Indebtedness secured by such Liens, (b) the Agents may rely exclusively on a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the U.S. Borrower as to whether any such Liens are permitted, and (c) such Intercreditor Agreements and any other intercreditor agreement referred to in the foregoing clause (a) entered into by the Agents shall be binding on the Secured Parties. Furthermore, each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender and the Swingline Lender (if applicable) and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Ancillary Agreements) and each Issuing Bank (in such capacity and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Ancillary Agreements) hereby authorize the Agents to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agents under any Loan Document (i) to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02 to be senior to the Liens of the Collateral Agent on such property or (ii) that is or becomes Excluded Property; and the Agents shall do so upon request of the U.S. Borrower; provided that, prior to any such request, the U.S. Borrower shall have in each case delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the U.S. Borrower certifying that such Lien is permitted to be senior to the Liens under this Agreement or that such property is Excluded Property, as applicable.

Section 8.12 Certain German Matters. In relation to the German Security Document the following additional provisions shall apply:

(a) The Collateral Agent shall (A) hold and administer any Collateral granted pursuant to a German Security Document which is security assigned or otherwise transferred (Sicherungseigentum/Sicherungsabtretung) under a non-accessory security right (nicht-akzessorische Sicherheit) to it in its own name as fiduciary (treuhänderisch) for the benefit of the Secured Parties and (B) administer any Collateral granted pursuant to a German Security Document which is pledged (Verpfändung) or otherwise transferred to the Collateral Agent creating or evidencing an accessory security right (akzessorische Sicherheit) as agent.

195

of any authorization granted under this Agreement and to perform its duties and obligations as Collateral Agent hereunder and under the German Security Document.

(d) Each of the Secured Parties hereby ratifies and approves, and each future Secured Party by becoming party to this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.04 ratifies and approves, all acts and declarations previously done by the Collateral Agent on such person’s behalf (including for the avoidance of doubt the declarations made by the Collateral Agent as representative without power of attorney (Vertreter ohne Vertretungsmacht) in relation to the creation of any pledge (Pfandrecht) on behalf and for the benefit of the Secured Parties as future pledgee or otherwise).

(e) For the purpose of performing its rights and obligations as Collateral Agent and to make use of any authorization granted under the German Security Agreements, each Secured Party hereby authorizes, and each future Secured Party by becoming a party to this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.04 of this Agreement authorizes, the Collateral Agent to act as its agent (Stellvertreter), and releases the Collateral Agent from any restrictions on representing several persons and self-dealing under any applicable law, and in particular from the restrictions of Section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch).

(d) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

(e) Documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.04 may be delivered electronically (including as set forth in Section 9.18 and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date (i) on which the applicable Borrower posts such documents, or provides a link thereto on such Borrower’s website on the Internet at the website address listed on Schedule 9.01, or (ii) on which such documents are posted on the applicable Borrower’s behalf on an Internet or intranet website, if any, to which each Lender and the Administrative Agent have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent); provided that (A) the applicable Borrower shall deliver paper copies of such documents to the Administrative Agent or any Lender that requests such Borrower to deliver such paper copies until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and (B) the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and each Lender (by telecopier or electronic mail) of the posting of any such documents and provide to the Administrative Agent by electronic mail electronic versions of such documents. Except for such

200

certificates required by Section 5.04(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery or to maintain copies of the documents referred to above, and in any event shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by the Borrowers with any such request for delivery, and each Lender shall be solely responsible for requesting delivery to it or maintaining its copies of such documents.

Section 9.02 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties herein, in the other Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and each Issuing Bank and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the issuance of the Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by such persons or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreements contained herein, indemnification and reimbursement obligations contained herein (including pursuant to Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 9.05) shall survive the payment in full of the principal and interest hereunder, the expiration of the Letters of Credit and the termination of the Commitments or this Agreement.

Section 9.03 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Holdings, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received copies hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Holdings, the Borrowers, each Issuing Bank, the Agents and each Lender and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

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 the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder (other than pursuant to a merger permitted by Section 6.05(b) or (i)) without the prior written consent of 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 or Article X. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section), and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than a natural person) (each, an “Assignee”) all

201

or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:

(A) the U.S. Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no consent of the U.S. Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default under Sections 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, any other person; and provided further that any liability of any Borrower to an Assignee that is an Approved Fund or Affiliate of the assigning Lender under Section 2.16 or 2.18 shall be limited to the amount, if any, that would have been payable hereunder by such Borrower in the absence of such assignment; and

(B) the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank (in each case, except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, and such consent, if required, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Class, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5.0 million, unless the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the U.S. Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing; provided further that such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds (with simultaneous assignments to or by two or more related Approved Funds shall be treated as one assignment), if any;

(B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); provided that (i) assignments pursuant to Section 2.20 shall not require the signature of the assigning Lender to become effective, (ii) any such processing and recordation fee in connection with assignments pursuant to Section 2.20 shall be paid by the U.S. Borrower or the Assignee and (iii) only one such processing and recordation fee shall be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more Assignees that are Affiliates of one another, or to two or more Approved Funds that are managed by the same investment advisor;

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.18; and

202

(D) assignment or transfer to or assumption by any person of Commitments or Loans or Revolving L/C Exposure with respect to a Dutch Borrower shall only be permitted if such person is a Non-Public Lender.

For the purposes of this Section 9.04, “Approved Fund” means any person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (x) a Lender, (y) an Affiliate of a Lender or (z) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Lender shall be permitted to assign or transfer any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or sell any participation to any Borrower or any of its Affiliates or subsidiaries, any Defaulting Lender or any of its subsidiaries, or any person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, 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 Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 9.05). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and Revolving L/C Exposure owing to, and amounts in respect of B/As owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank and the Lenders may 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 Borrowers, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and any applicable tax forms (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this

203

Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans); 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 obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and any other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the sole right to vote on or approve any waiver of any Default or Event of Default); provided that (x) such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of such Lender providing such participation as a result of Section 9.04(a)(i) or clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (vi) of the first proviso to Section 9.08(b) and (2) directly affects such Participant (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not with respect to the waiver of any Default or Event of Default) and (y) no other agreement with respect to the Loan Documents or any amendment, modification or waiver thereof may exist between such Lender and such Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at any Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.20(b) or (c) with respect to any Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17 and 2.18 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.19(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the U.S. Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) 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 pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the

204

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

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the U.S. Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.18 to the extent such Participant fails to comply with Section 2.18(f) or (g) as though it were a Lender.

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Administrative Agent or any Borrower, 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 Borrowers, at their expense and upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agree to issue Promissory Notes to any Lender requiring Promissory Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assignment may be made, and, to the extent the list of such Ineligible Institution has been made available to all Lenders, no participation sold, to an Ineligible Institution without the prior written consent of the U.S. Borrower.

(g) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the Assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Revolving Facility Percentage of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable Assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full the Revolving Facility Percentage of all Loans; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the Assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(h) If any Borrower wishes to replace the Loans or Commitments hereunder with ones having different terms (such new Loans or Commitments shall rank pari passu or junior

205

in right of payment and security with the existing Loans or Commitments unless otherwise agreed by each Lender directly adversely affected thereby), it shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to at least three (3) Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders, instead of prepaying the Loans or reducing or terminating the Commitments to be replaced, to (i) require the Lenders to assign such Loans or Commitments to the Administrative Agent or its designees and (ii) amend the terms thereof in accordance with Section 9.08 (with such replacement, if applicable, being deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 9.04(b)(ii)). Pursuant to any such assignment, all Loans and Commitments to be replaced shall be purchased at par (allocated among the Lenders, in the same manner as would be required if such Loans were being optionally prepaid or such Commitments were being optionally reduced or terminated by the Borrowers), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any other amounts owing pursuant to this Agreement. By receiving such purchase price, the Lenders shall automatically be deemed to have assigned the Loans or Commitments, pursuant to the terms of the Assignment and Acceptance, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this clause (h) are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement.

Section 9.05 Expenses; Indemnity

(a) Each Borrower agrees to pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or by the Administrative Agent, any Syndication Agent or any Documentation Agent in connection with the syndication of the Commitments, or by the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including expenses incurred in connection with due diligence, initial and ongoing appraisals and Collateral examinations to the extent incurred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, mortgage recordings, title registrations, Uniform Commercial Code filings and other filings in connection with the creation and perfection of the Liens of the Collateral Agent (the priority thereof) as contemplated hereby or in other Loan Documents and the reasonable fees, disbursements and the charges of no more than one counsel in each jurisdiction where Collateral is located) or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not such amendment, waiver or modification is approved by the applicable Lenders), including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel for the Agents and the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one local counsel per applicable jurisdiction, and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by the Agents, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lender or any other Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in connection with the Loans made or the Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for all such persons, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where such person affected by such conflict informs the U.S. Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel with the U.S. Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of another firm for such affected person).

206

(b) The Borrowers agree to indemnify the Agents, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers, each Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender, each other Lender, each of their respective successors and assigns and each of their Related Parties (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable and documented counsel fees, charges and disbursements (excluding the allocated costs of in house counsel and limited to not more than one counsel for all such Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for all such Indemnitees, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where such Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the U.S. Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel with the U.S. Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), of another firm of such for such affected Indemnitee)), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of any Letter of Credit or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, and regardless of whether any of the foregoing is raised or initiated by a third party or any Borrower (including its equity holders, affiliates, creditors, or any other person) or any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have (A) resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (B) arisen from a material breach by such Indemnitee of its funding obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, or (y) have arisen from any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of the U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee (other than any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding against the Agents, any Joint Lead Arranger, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, in each case in such capacity) (for purposes of this proviso only, each of the Agents, Joint Lead Arrangers, Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lender, any other Lenders shall be treated as several and separate Indemnitees, but each of them together with its respective Related Parties shall be treated as a single Indemnitee). Subject to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Borrowers agree to indemnify each Indemnitee against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel or consultant fees, charges and disbursements (except the allocated costs of in-house counsel), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with or as a result of (a) any claim or liability related in any way to Environmental Laws and Holdings, the U.S. Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries, or (b) any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials at, under, on or from any property currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by any predecessor of Holdings, the U.S. Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have (A) resulted primarily

207

from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (B) arisen from a material breach by such Indemnitee of its funding obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, or (y) have arisen from any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of the U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee (other than any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding against the Agents, any Joint Lead Arranger, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, in each case in such capacity). None of the Indemnitees (or any of their respective Affiliates) shall be responsible or liable to any Loan Party, any of its subsidiaries, Affiliates or stockholders or any other person or entity for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, which may be alleged as a result of the facilities hereunder or the Transactions. The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested.

(c) Except as expressly provided in Section 9.05(a) with respect to Other Taxes, which shall not be duplicative with any amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.18, this Section 9.05 shall not apply to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages from any non-Tax claim.

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Holdings and the Borrowers shall not assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(e) The agreements in this Section 9.05 shall survive the resignation of the Agents or any Issuing Bank, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 9.06 Right of Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of Holdings (prior to

208

a Qualified IPO), any Borrower or other Subsidiary against any of and all the obligations of Holdings (prior to a Qualified IPO), any Borrower or any Subsidiary now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although the obligations may be unmatured; provided that no amounts set off with respect to any Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor; provided further that, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.23 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and each Issuing Bank under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender or such Issuing Bank may have. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall exercise setoff rights with respect to the Canadian Borrower’s, a U.K. Borrower’s, the Dutch Borrower’s or the German Borrower’s assets and apply such proceeds to the Obligations of the U.S. Borrower hereunder.

Section 9.07 APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO SUCH LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 9.08 Waivers; Amendment.

(a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any 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, each Issuing Bank 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by Holdings, any Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on Holdings, any Borrower or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle such person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified, except as provided in the last sentence of the definition of “Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness”, Section 2.01(a), Section 2.21 or

209

Section 8.11, or (x) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings (prior to a Qualified IPO), the Borrowers and the Required Lenders and (y) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the applicable Loan Party and the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and consented to by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall

(i) decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or extend the final maturity of, or decrease the rate of interest on, any Loan or any L/C Disbursement, or extend the stated expiration of any Letter of Credit beyond the applicable Maturity Date (except as provided in Section 2.05(c)) without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of such Lender directly adversely affected thereby shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification); provided that any amendment or modifications to the definitions of the terms “Borrowing Base”, “Excess Availability”, any component definition thereof or the related definitions or the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (i),

(ii) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender or decrease the Commitment Fees or L/C Participation Fees or other fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of such Lender directly adversely affected thereby shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification); it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the Commitments of any Lender,

(iii) extend any date on which payment of interest on any Loan or any L/C Disbursement or any Fees is due, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of such Lender directly adversely affected thereby shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification),

(iv) amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.12(d) or Section 2.19(b) or (c) in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby,

(v) amend or modify the provisions of this Section or the definition of the terms “Required Lenders”, “Special Majority Lenders”, “Super Majority Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders, Special Majority Lenders and Super Majority

210

The Administrative Agent, Holdings (prior to a Qualified IPO) and the Borrowers shall modify the Loan Documents to include the commitments to make such Other Revolving Loans in the definition of Required Lenders, Special Majority Lenders and Super Majority Lenders, on substantially the same basis as the Loans are included on the Closing Date.

(f) With respect to the incurrence of any secured or unsecured Indebtedness (including any intercreditor agreement relating thereto), the U.S. Borrower may elect (in its discretion, but shall not be obligated) to deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer at least three (3) Business Days prior to the incurrence thereof (or such shorter time as the Administrative Agent may agree), together with either drafts of the material documentation relating to such Indebtedness or a description of such Indebtedness (including a description of the Liens intended to secure the same or the subordination provisions thereof, as applicable) in reasonably sufficient detail to be able to make the determinations referred to in this paragraph, which certificate shall either, at the U.S. Borrower’s election, (i) state that the U.S. Borrower has determined in good faith that such Indebtedness satisfies the requirements of the applicable provisions of Section 6.01 and 6.02 (taking into account any other applicable provisions of this Section 9.08), in which case such certificate shall be conclusive evidence thereof, or (ii) request the Administrative Agent to confirm, based on the information set forth in such certificate and any other information reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, that such Indebtedness satisfies such requirements, in which case the Administrative Agent may determine whether, in its Reasonable Credit Judgment, such requirements have been satisfied (in which case it shall deliver to U.S. Borrower a written confirmation of the same), with any such determination

212

Section 9.09 Interest Rate Limitation.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, subject to clause (b) below in respect of any Loan to a Canadian Borrower, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges that are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender or any Issuing Bank, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable hereunder, together with all Charges payable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate; provided that such excess amount shall be paid to such Lender or such Issuing Bank on subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation.

(b) Without limiting Section 9.09(a), if any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents would obligate the Canadian Borrower to make any payment of interest under the Obligations of the Canadian Borrower or any other amount in an amount or calculated at a rate that would be prohibited by law or would result in the receipt by any Lender of interest under the Obligations of the Canadian Borrower at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rates shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in the receipt by such Lender of interest under the Obligations of the Canadian Borrower at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (i) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to such Lender under Section 2.14 and (ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to such Lender that would constitute interest under the Obligations of the Canadian Borrower for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated hereby, if any Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada), then the Canadian Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, to obtain reimbursement from such Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by such Lender to the Canadian Borrower. Any amount or rate of interest under the Obligations of the Canadian Borrower referred to in Section 2.14 (b) shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that any Revolving Facility Loan to the Canadian Borrower remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the Closing Date to the Termination Date and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.

Section 9.18 JPMCB Direct Website Communications.

(a) Delivery.

(i) Each Loan Party hereby agrees that it will provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (A) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, borrowing or other extension of credit (including any election of an interest rate or interest period relating thereto), (B) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (C) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or (D) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder (all such non-excluded communications collectively, the “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Loan Party agrees to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent in the manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent. Nothing in this Section 9.18 shall prejudice the right of the Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers or any Lender or any Loan Party to give any notice or other communication pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any other manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(ii) The Administrative Agent agrees that receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e‑mail address set forth in Section 9.01 shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform (as defined below) shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees (a) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e‑mail

217

address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (b) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e‑mail address.

(b) Posting. Each Loan Party further agrees that the Administrative Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). Certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Holdings, any Borrower or their respective securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The U.S. Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Communications that may not be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (i) all such Communications shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PRIVATE” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PRIVATE” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (ii) by not marking Communications “PRIVATE,” The U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders to treat such Communications as either publicly available information or not material information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to Holdings, such Borrower or their respective securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws, (iii) all Communications not marked “PRIVATE” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor;” and (iv) the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers shall be entitled to treat any Communications that are marked “PRIVATE” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.”

(c) Platform. The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available”. The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Communications or the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents advisors or representatives (collectively, “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Loan Parties, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise), arising out of any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the internet, except to the extent the liability of any Agent Party is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Agent Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 9.19 Release of Liens and Guarantees.

(a) The Agents, Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released: (i) in full, as set forth in Section 9.19(d) below; (ii) upon the sale or other disposition of such Collateral by any Loan Party to a person that is not (and is not required to become) a Loan Party in a transaction not prohibited by this Agreement (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by the Responsible Officer of the

218

U.S. Borrower upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) to the extent that such Collateral comprises property leased to 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 Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with Section 9.08(b)), (v) to the extent that the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee in accordance with the Collateral Agreement and clause (b) below, (vi) as provided in Section 8.11, (vii) as contemplated by any intercreditor agreement, (viii) to the extent any asset or property constitutes Excluded Property and (ix) as required by the Collateral Agent to effect any sale or disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Collateral 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, including the proceeds of any sale or disposition, 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.

(b) In addition, (i) the Agents, Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably agree that a Subsidiary Loan Party shall be released from the Guarantees and the Security Documents upon consummation of any transaction not prohibited hereunder resulting in such Subsidiary Loan Party ceasing to constitute a Subsidiary Loan Party or otherwise a Subsidiary (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Responsible Officer of the U.S. Borrower upon its reasonable request without further inquiry) and (ii) immediately prior to the consummation of a Qualified IPO, the Guarantee incurred by Holdings of the Obligations shall automatically terminate, and Holdings shall be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents and shall cease to be a Loan Party.

(c) The Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Guarantor or Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.19, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender or Issuing Bank. Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Collateral or Guarantor shall no longer be deemed to be made. In connection with any release hereunder, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by any Borrower, at such Borrower’s expense, in connection with the release of any Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such Subsidiary, property or asset.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, upon the Termination Date, upon request of any Borrower, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any other 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 (i) obligations in respect of any Ancillary Agreement and (ii) any contingent indemnification Obligations or expense reimburse claims not then due. Any such release of Obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such Obligations shall be

219

reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

(e) Obligations of the Borrowers and the Subsidiary Loan Parties under any Ancillary Agreement (after giving effect to all netting arrangements relating thereto) shall be secured and guaranteed pursuant to the Security Documents only to the extent that, and for so long as, the other Obligations are so secured and guaranteed. No person shall have any voting rights under any Loan Document solely as a result of the existence of obligations owed to it under any such Ancillary Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no release of Collateral or Guarantors effected in the manner permitted by this Agreement shall require the consent of any holder of obligations under Ancillary Agreements.

Section 9.20 Parallel Debt. Without prejudice to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree to the creation of parallel debt obligations (the “Parallel Debts”) of certain Loan Parties as described in the U.S. Guarantee Agreement and the Foreign Guarantee Agreement, including that any payment received by the Administrative Agent in respect of the Parallel Debts will be deemed a satisfaction of a pro rata portion of the corresponding amounts of the Obligations.

Section 9.21 Dutch Powers of Attorney. If any Dutch Loan Party is represented by an attorney in connection with the signing and/or execution of any Loan Document (including by way of accession to this Agreement or any other agreement, deed or document referred to in or made pursuant to this Agreement), it is hereby expressly acknowledged and accepted by the other parties to this Agreement that the existence and extent of the attorney’s authority and the effects of the attorney’s exercise or purported exercise of his or her authority shall be governed by the laws of The Netherlands.

Section 9.22 Power of Attorney. Each Lender (including the Swingline Lender) and each Issuing Bank (and each Affiliate of a Lender or such Issuing Bank) hereby (i) authorizes each Agent as its agent and attorney to execute and deliver, on behalf of and in the name of such Lender or Issuing Bank (or Affiliate), all and any Loan Documents (including Security Documents) and related documentation, (ii) authorizes each Agent to appoint any further agents or attorneys to execute and deliver, or otherwise to act, on behalf of and in the name of such Agent for any such purpose and (iii) authorizes each Agent to delegate its powers under this power of attorney and to do any and all acts and to make and receive all declarations that are deemed necessary or appropriate to such Agent. The Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby relieve the Administrative Agent from any applicable self-dealing restrictions, and the Administrative Agent may also relieve agents, delegates and attorneys appointed pursuant to the powers granted under this Section 9.22 from any self-dealing restrictions (including, but not limited to such restrictions on self-dealing under Section 181 of the German Civil Code).

Section 9.24 U.S.A. Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the U.S.A. Patriot Act.

Section 9.25 Acknowledgments.

COLLECTION ALLOCATION MECHANISM

Section 10.01 Implementation of CAM.

(a) On the CAM Exchange Date, (i) each Lender shall immediately be deemed to have acquired (and shall promptly make payment therefor to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.04(c)) participations in the Swingline Loans in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of each such Swingline Loan outstanding on such date, (ii) simultaneously with the automatic conversions pursuant to clause (iii) below, the Lenders shall automatically and without further act (and without regard to the provisions of Section 9.04 (but which such provisions shall remain applicable following such exchange)) be deemed to have exchanged interests in the Loans (other than the Swingline Loans) and B/As and participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit, such that in lieu of the interest of each Lender in each Loan, B/A and Letter of Credit in which it shall participate as of such date (including such Lender’s interest in the Obligations of each Loan Party in respect of each such Loan, B/A and Letter of Credit), such Lender shall hold an interest in every one of the Loans (other than the Swingline Loans) and B/As and a participation in every one of the Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit (including the Obligations of each Loan Party in respect of each such Loan and each Reserve Account established pursuant to Section 10.02), whether or not such Lender shall previously have participated therein, equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage thereof, (iii) simultaneously with the deemed exchange of interests pursuant to clause (ii) above, the interests in the Loans to be received in such deemed exchange shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the U.S. Dollar Equivalent, determined using the Exchange Rate calculated as of such date, of such amount and on and after such date all amounts

222

accruing and owed to the Lenders in respect of such Obligations shall accrue and be payable in U.S. Dollars at the rate otherwise applicable hereunder and (iv) immediately upon the date of expiration of the Contract Period in respect thereof, the interests in each B/A received in the deemed exchange of interests pursuant to clause (ii) above shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the U.S. Dollar Equivalent, determined using the Exchange Rate calculated as of such date, of such amount and on and after such date all amounts accruing and owed to the Lenders in respect of such Obligations shall accrue and be payable in U.S. Dollars at the rate otherwise applicable hereunder. It is understood and agreed that (A) Lenders holding interests in B/As on the CAM Exchange Date shall discharge the obligations to fund such B/As at maturity in exchange for the interests acquired by such Lenders in funded Loans in the CAM Exchange and (B) the CAM Exchange, in itself, will not affect the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing by each of (1) the Domestic Subsidiary Loan Parties and (2) the Foreign Subsidiary Loan Parties, on the CAM Exchange Date. Each Lender and each Loan Party hereby consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees that the CAM Exchange shall be binding upon its successors and assigns and any person that acquires a participation in its interests in any Loan or B/A or any participation in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit. Each Loan Party agrees from time to time to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent all such promissory notes and other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to evidence and confirm the respective interests of the Lenders after giving effect to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees to surrender any promissory notes originally received by it in connection with its Loans hereunder to the Administrative Agent against delivery of any promissory notes evidencing its interests in the Loans and B/As so executed and delivered; provided, however, that the failure of any Loan Party to execute or deliver or of any Lender to accept any such promissory note, instrument or document shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the CAM Exchange.

(b) As a result of the CAM Exchange, upon and after the CAM Exchange Date, each payment received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document in respect of the Obligations and each distribution made by an Agent pursuant to any Security Document in respect of the Obligations, shall be distributed to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective CAM Percentages. Any direct payment received by a Lender on or after the CAM Exchange Date, including by way of set-off, in respect of an Obligation shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders in accordance herewith.

Section 10.02 Letters of Credit

(a) In the event that on the CAM Exchange Date any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and undrawn in whole or in part, or any L/C Disbursement shall not have been reimbursed by the applicable Borrower or with the proceeds of a Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Borrowing, each Lender shall promptly pay over to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, an amount in U.S. Dollars equal to such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such undrawn face amount or (to the extent it has not already done so) such unreimbursed drawing, as applicable, together with interest thereon from the CAM Exchange Date to the date on which such amount shall be paid to the Administrative Agent at the rate that would be applicable at the time to an ABR Revolving Loan in a principal amount equal to such undrawn face amount or unreimbursed drawing, as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall establish a

223

separate account (each, a “Reserve Account”) or accounts for each Lender for the amounts received with respect to each such Letter of Credit pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Administrative Agent shall deposit in each Lender’s Reserve Account such Lender’s CAM Percentage of the amounts received from the Revolving Lenders as provided above. For the purposes of this paragraph, the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of each Lender’s participation in each Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be the amount in U.S. Dollars determined by the Administrative Agent to be required in order for the Administrative Agent to purchase currency in the applicable Alternative Currency in an amount sufficient to enable it to deposit the actual amount of such participation in such undrawn Letter of Credit in the applicable Alternative Currency in such Lender’s Reserve Account. The Administrative Agent shall have sole dominion and control over each Reserve Account, and the amounts deposited in each Reserve Account shall be held in such Reserve Account until withdrawn as provided in paragraph (b), (c), (d) or (e) below. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records enabling it to determine the amounts paid over to it and deposited in the Reserve Accounts in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amounts on deposit in respect of each Letter of Credit attributable to each Lender’s CAM Percentage. The amounts held in each Lender’s Reserve Account shall be held as a reserve against the Revolving L/C Exposure, shall be the property of such Lender, shall not constitute Loans to or give rise to any claim of or against any Loan Party and shall not give rise to any obligation on the part of any Loan Party to pay interest to such Lender or any other obligation of any Loan Party, it being agreed that the reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit shall arise only at such times as drawings are made thereunder, as provided in Section 2.05.

(b) In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any drawing shall be made in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the applicable Issuing Bank, to the extent such drawing constitutes an L/C Disbursement, withdraw from the Reserve Account of each Lender any amounts, up to the amount of such Lender’s CAM Percentage of such drawing or payment, deposited in respect of such Letter of Credit and remaining on deposit and deliver such amounts to such Issuing Bank in satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Lenders under Section 2.05(d) (but not of the applicable Borrower under Section 2.05(e)). In the event that any Lender shall default on its obligation to pay over any amount to the Administrative Agent as provided in this Section 10.02, the applicable Issuing Bank shall have a claim against such Lender to the same extent as if such Lender had defaulted on its obligations under Section 2.05(d), but shall have no claim against any other Lender in respect of such defaulted amount, notwithstanding the exchange of interests in the applicable Borrower’s reimbursement obligations pursuant to Section 10.01. Each other Lender shall have a claim against such defaulting Lender for any damages sustained by it as a result of such default, including, in the event that such Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, its CAM Percentage of the defaulted amount.

(c) In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, the Administrative Agent shall withdraw from the Reserve Account of each Lender the amount remaining on deposit therein in respect of such Letter of Credit and distribute such amount to such Lender.

(d) With the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld), any Lender may withdraw the amount held in its Reserve Account in respect of the undrawn amount of any Letter of Credit. Any Lender making such a withdrawal

224

shall be unconditionally obligated, in the event there shall subsequently be a drawing under such Letter of Credit, to pay over to the Administrative Agent, in the currency in which such drawing is denominated, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, on demand, its CAM Percentage of such drawing or payment.

(e) Pending the withdrawal by any Lender of any amounts from its Reserve Account as contemplated by the above paragraphs, the Administrative Agent will, at the direction of such Lender and subject to such rules as the Administrative Agent may prescribe for the avoidance of inconvenience, invest such amounts in Permitted Investments. Each Lender that has not withdrawn its amounts in its Reserve Account as provided in paragraph (d) above shall have the right, at intervals reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent, to withdraw the earnings on investments so made by the Administrative Agent with amounts in its Reserve Account and to retain such earnings for its own account.

Section 10.03 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Solely to the extent any Lender or Issuing Bank that is an EEA Financial Institution is a party to this Agreement and 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 Lender or Issuing Bank that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document 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 Lender or Issuing Bank 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.
