Section 2.07 Funding Obligations; Disbursement of Funds. (a) Several Nature of Funding Obligations. The Commitments of each Lender hereunder and the obligation of each Lender to make Loans are several and not joint obligations. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans hereunder and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it required to be funded by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill any of its Commitments hereunder. Nothing herein and no subsequent termination of the Commitments shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder and in existence from time to time or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. (b) Borrowings Pro Rata. All Term Loans shall be made by the Lenders having Term Commitments pro rata on the basis of their respective Term Commitments (excluding, to the extent there

(c) Notice to Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender, as applicable, written notice of each proposed Borrowing, or Conversion or Continuation thereof, and of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof or participation therein and of the other matters covered by the Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation or Conversion as the case may be, relating thereto. (d) Funding of Loans. No later than 12:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Lender will make available its amount, if any, of each Borrowing requested to be made on such date to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office in immediately available funds and the Administrative Agent promptly will make available to the Borrower by depositing to its account at the Payment Office (or such other account as the Borrower shall specify) the aggregate of the amounts so made available in the type of funds received. (e) Advance Funding. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made the same available to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Section 2.09, for the respective Loans (but without any requirement to pay any amounts in respect thereof pursuant to Section 3.02). Section 2.08 Evidence of Obligations. (a) Loan Accounts of Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. (b) Loan Accounts of the Administrative Agent; Lender Register. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record: (i) the amount of each Loan and Borrowing made hereunder, the Type thereof, the currency in which such Loan is denominated, the Interest Period and applicable interest rate; (ii) the amount of any principal due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder; and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain a register (the β€œLender Register”) on or in which it will record the names of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loan owing to, each Lender, pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time. The entries in the Lender Register

Β 
-56- shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Lender Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent will make the Lender Register available to any Lender (with respect to such Lender’s own interest only), the Ad Hoc Lender Group Advisors, the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group Advisors, the Ad Hoc 2020 EMEA Term Lender Group Advisors or the Borrower, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (c) Effect of Loan Accounts, etc. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.08(b) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations recorded therein; provided, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error (other than manifest error) therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Credit Party to repay or prepay the Loans or the other Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (d) Notes. Upon reasonable written request of any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender, including in respect of any funding by such Lender of a Delayed Draw Term Loan, a Note with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith to evidence its obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the applicable Term Loan made to it by such Lender; provided, however, that the decision of any Lender to not request a Note shall in no way detract from the Borrower’s obligation to repay the applicable Loans and other amounts owing by the Borrower to such Lender. Section 2.09 Interest; Default Rate. (a) [Reserved]. (b) Interest on Term Loans. The outstanding principal amount of each Term Loan made by each Lender shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) an amount payable in cash equal to (x) during such periods as such Term Loan is a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate plus 4.00% and (y) during such periods as such Term Loan is a Eurocurrency Loan, the relevant Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for such Eurocurrency Loan for the applicable Interest Period plus 5.00% and (ii) 2.50%, which interest, in the case of this clause (ii) shall be payable-kind and shall accrete, on a monthly basis, to the principal amount of each Term Loan in accordance with Section 2.09(e). (c) [Reserved.] (d) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the above provisions, if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then: all amounts payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall thereafter automatically bear interest during the continuance of such Event of Default (including post- petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable Debtor Relief Laws) payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. (e) Accrual and Payment of Interest. Interest shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any prepayment or repayment thereof and shall be payable by the Borrower: (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each month; (ii) in respect of each Eurocurrency Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto; and (iii) in respect of all Loans, on any repayment, prepayment or Conversion (on the amount repaid, prepaid or Converted), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and, after such maturity or, in the case of any interest payable pursuant to Section 2.09(d), on demand. Interest that is to be paid in-kind pursuant to Section 2.09(b) shall be paid in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence by capitalizing such interest and adding such capitalized interest to the then outstanding principal amount of the applicable Term Loan and, thereafter, shall bear interest as provided hereunder as if it had originally been part of the outstanding principal of the applicable Term Loan.

Β 
-57- (f) Computations of Interest. All computation of interest hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year). (g) Information as to Interest Rates. The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing, shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent will promptly provide notice of such determinations to the Borrower and the Lenders. Any such determination by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. (h) Recalculation of Interest and Fees. By entering into this Agreement, the parties have assumed in bona fide that the interest and fees payable hereunder are not and will not become subject to any Tax deduction on account of Swiss Withholding Tax. Nevertheless, if a Tax deduction is required by Swiss law to be made by a Credit Party in respect of any interest or fees payable by it under this Agreement and should it be unlawful for the relevant Credit Party to comply with Section 3.03 (Net Payments) for any reason, then: (i) the applicable interest rate/fee in relation to that interest/fee payment shall be (i) the interest rate/fee which would have applied to that interest payment/fee (as provided for in Section 2.09(a) and Section 2.09(b) or otherwise in this Agreement in the absence of this Section 2.09(h)) divided by (ii) one (1) minus the rate at which the relevant Tax deduction is required to be made (where the rate at which the relevant Tax deduction is required to be made is for this purpose expressed as a fraction of one (1) rather than as a percentage); and (ii) the relevant Credit Party shall be obliged: (A) to pay the relevant interest/fee at the adjusted rate in accordance with sub- section (i) above; and (B) to make the Tax deduction on the interest/fee so recalculated; and all references to a rate of interest/fee in Section 2.09(a) and Section 2.09(b) or otherwise in this Agreement shall be construed accordingly. To the extent that interest/fee payable by a Credit Party under this Agreement becomes subject to Swiss Withholding Tax, the relevant Credit Party will provide to the Administrative Agent and the other Recipients those documents which are required by law and applicable double taxation treaties to be provided by the payer of such tax for the Administrative Agent and each other relevant Recipient to prepare a claim for refund of Swiss Withholding Tax and the Administrative Agent and each other relevant Recipient and the relevant Credit Party shall promptly co-operate in completing any procedural formalities (including submitting forms and documents required by the appropriate Tax authority) to the extent possible and necessary for the relevant Credit Party to obtain authorisation to make interest payments without them being subject to Swiss Withholding Tax or to allow the Administrative Agent and the other Recipients to prepare claims for the refund of any Swiss Withholding Tax so deducted. (i) Effect of Benchmark Transition Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate with a Benchmark Replacement; provided that any such Benchmark Replacement shall be administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, and provided further the Administrative Agent shall not be bound to follow or agree to any amendment or supplement to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes) that would increase or materially change or affect the duties,

Β 
-58- obligations or liabilities of the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, the imposition or expansion of discretionary authority), or reduce, eliminate, limit or otherwise change any right, privilege or protection of the Administrative Agent, or would otherwise materially and adversely affect the Administrative Agent, in each case in its reasonable judgment, without its express written consent. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.09(i) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. The Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.09(i), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non- occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.09(i). In the event that Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or applicable Benchmark Replacement is not available on any determination date, then unless the Administrative Agent is notified of a replacement benchmark in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement at least five Business Days prior to any dated upon which interest payments are due pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall use the interest rate in effect for the immediately prior Interest Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the component of the Base Rate based upon the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate. Section 2.10 Conversion and Continuation of Loans. (a) Conversion and Continuation of Loans. The Borrower shall have the right, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to elect to change or continue the Type of any Loans, as follows: (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may elect to Convert such Loans to Eurocurrency Loans on any Business Day; (ii) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, the Borrower may, subject to Section 3.02, elect to (x) Convert all or a portion of such Eurocurrency Loans into a Borrowing or Borrowings of Base Rate Loans on any Business Day, and (y) Continue a Borrowing of such Eurocurrency Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period as a new Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans with a new Interest Period; and

(local time at its Notice Office) on the Business Day prior to such Conversion. Each such request shall be made by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower delivering written notice of such request substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto (each such notice, a β€œNotice of Continuation or Conversion”), and in any event each such request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the Borrowings to be Continued or Converted, (B) the date of the Continuation or Conversion (which shall be a Business Day), and (C) the Interest Period or, in the case of a Continuation, the new Interest Period. Section 2.11 Fees. (a) Backstop Premium. On the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender as of the Closing Date, a backstop premium in cash equal to 8.50% of the aggregate Term Commitments then in effect, to be allocated to each Lender on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s Term Commitments as in effect on the Closing Date. The backstop premium represents compensation for the commitment of each Lender’s Delayed Draw Term Commitment and is intended to be treated as put premium with respect to such Delayed Draw Term Commitment for U.S. federal income tax purposes. (b) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on the Closing Date and thereafter, for its own account, the administrative agent fees set forth in the Fee Letter. (c) Computations and Determination of Fees. All computations of fees hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. Section 2.12 [Reserved].

The Borrower shall have the right to prepay any of the Loans owing by it, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, except as specified in subparts (g) and (h) below, from time to time. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office written notice of its intent to prepay the Loans, the amount of such prepayment and (in the case of Eurocurrency Loans) the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which the prepayment is to be made, which notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent by (y) 11:00 A.M. (local time at the Notice Office) three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, in the case of any prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans, or (z) 11:00 A.M. (local time at the Notice Office) on the Business Day prior to such prepayment, in the case of any prepayment of Base Rate Loans, and which notice shall promptly be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to each of the affected Lenders, provided that: (i) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least (A) in the case of any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Loan, $5,000,000 (or, if less, the full amount of such Borrowing), or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and (B) in the case of any prepayment of a Base Rate Loan, $500,000 (or, if less, the full amount of such Borrowing), or an integral multiple of $100,000;

Β 
-60- (ii) no partial prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall reduce the aggregate principal amount of such Loans outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto; and (iii) in the case of any prepayment of Term Loans, such prepayment shall be applied in the manner directed by the Borrower; provided, that in the absence of such direction, such prepayment shall be applied to the Term Loans in forward order of maturity. (b) Scheduled Repayment of Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay entire remaining principal amount of the outstanding Term Loans in full on the Maturity Date. (c) Mandatory Payments. The Loans shall be subject to mandatory repayment or prepayment (in the case of any partial prepayment conforming to the requirements as to the amounts of partial prepayments set forth in Section 2.13(a) above) in accordance with the following provisions: (i) [Reserved]. (ii) [Reserved]. (iii) [Reserved]. (iv) [Reserved]. (v) Certain Proceeds of Asset Sales. If during any fiscal year of the Parent Guarantor, the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary has received cumulative Net Cash Proceeds during such fiscal year from one or more Asset Sales (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the disposition of all or any portion of the Infrastructure Business) (other than any Directed Divestment) of at least $5,000,000 (other than Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales permitted by Section 7.02(a), (b), (c) and (j)), not later than the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date of receipt of any Cash Proceeds in excess of such amount (the β€œExcess Asset Sale Proceeds”), the Borrower shall prepay the principal amount of Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such Excess Asset Sale Proceeds in accordance with Section 2.13(d) below. (vi) Certain Proceeds of Indebtedness. Not later than the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date of the receipt by any Credit Party of the cash proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions, placement agent fees and other customary fees and costs associated therewith) from any sale or issuance of any Indebtedness (other than any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 7.04 after the Closing Date (other than any Permitted Refinancing)), the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with Section 2.13(d).

-61- available to the Parent Guarantor, the Parent Guarantor or its Restricted Subsidiaries as applicable, have entered into a legally binding commitment to repair, rebuild or restore the affected property within 365 days of receipt of such Cash Proceeds, that such repair, rebuilding or restoration can be accomplished within 180 days of the date of such legally binding commitment, then no such prepayment of the Loans shall be required. If by the deadline specified in the proviso in the preceding sentence, any portion of such Excess Event of Loss Proceeds has not been so used to repair, rebuild or restore the affected property, the Borrower shall prepay the principal amount of the Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such Excess Event of Loss Proceeds.

(f) Constraints on Upstreaming. The mandatory prepayments of the Borrower pursuant to Sections 2.13(c), (v), (vii) and (viii) of this Agreement shall not be required to the extent and for so long as the repatriation of funds from the Parent Guarantor’s Restricted Upstream Subsidiaries would be required to effect such prepayments and could reasonably be expected to (i) cause the Parent Guarantor, the Borrower or its Restricted Upstream Subsidiaries to suffer material adverse costs or tax consequences (including the imposition of withholding taxes and taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation), (ii) result in a violation of applicable local law (including, without limitation, financial assistance, corporate benefit restrictions on upstreaming of cash intra group and the fiduciary and statutory duties of the directors of such non-U.S. Subsidiary or non-U.K. Subsidiary) or (iii) expose individual directors of the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Upstream Subsidiaries to the risk of personal liability, in each case as reasonably determined by the Parent Guarantor in good faith. The Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Upstream Subsidiaries, if any, shall take all commercially reasonable actions to overcome or eliminate any such restrictions and/or minimize any such costs of prepayment to make the relevant prepayment. If at a later date the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Upstream Subsidiaries is able to repatriate all or any portion of such funds in order to make such mandatory prepayment without incurring a material risk of suffering a material adverse cost or tax consequence or such prohibition, restriction or delay is no longer applicable, as applicable, it shall promptly take all such actions necessary to repatriate such funds and make such mandatory prepayment.

Each such Lender may exercise such option by giving written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or before the first Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date (it being understood that any such Lender which does not notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such option on or before 11:00 A.M. (local time at the Notice Office) on the first Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date shall be deemed to have elected, as of such date, not to exercise such option). On the Required Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall retain that amount of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment with respect to which each Lender, if any, shall have exercised its option to refuse (any such amount retained by either Borrower, the β€œRetained Declined Proceeds”).

Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension. (e) Distribution to Lenders. Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of payments hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall immediately distribute to each Lender its ratable share, if any, of the amount of principal, interest, and fees received by it for the account of such Lender; provided, however, that if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder then, except as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to Section 8.03, such funds shall be applied towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal, interest and fees then due to such parties.

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, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.03 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Required Lenders as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), 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; third, if so determined by the Required Lenders and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the 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 sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the applicable conditions in Article IV were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the Credit Facility. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Required Lenders agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders (or take such other actions as the Required Lenders may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the Credit Facility), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided, that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

INCREASED COSTS, ILLEGALITY AND TAXES Section 3.01 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. (a) Without limiting Section 2.09 of this Agreement, in the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) below, the Required Lenders or (y) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Lender or other Recipient, shall have determined on a reasonable basis (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto): (i) on any date for determining the interest rate applicable to any Eurocurrency Loan for any Interest Period that, by reason of any changes arising after the Closing Date, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in this Agreement for such Eurocurrency Loan; or (ii) at any time, that such Lender or other Recipient shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable by it hereunder in an amount that such Lender or other Recipient deems material with respect to any Eurocurrency Loans (other than any increased cost or reduction in the amount received or receivable resulting from the imposition of or a change in the rate of any (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of β€œExcluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) because of (x) any Change in Law since the Closing Date (including, but not limited to, a change in requirements for any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirements (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or other Recipient, but, in all events, excluding reserves already includable in the interest rate applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan pursuant to this Agreement) or (y) other circumstances adversely affecting the London interbank market (other than as contemplated in Section 2.09 of this Agreement) or the position of such Lender or other Recipient in any such market; or (iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Eurocurrency Loan has become unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Change in Law since the Closing Date, or would conflict with any thereof not having the force of law but with which such Lender customarily complies, or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Closing Date that materially adversely affects the London interbank market (other than as contemplated in Section 2.09 of this Agreement); then, and in each such event, such Lender or other Recipient (or the Required Lenders in the case of clause (i) above) shall (1) on or promptly following such date or time and (2) within ten (10) Business Days of the date on which such event no longer exists give notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders or other Recipients). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, the affected Type of Eurocurrency Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Required Lenders notify the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) or other Recipients that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Required Lender no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation or Conversion given by the Borrower with respect to such Type of Eurocurrency Loans that have not yet been incurred, Converted or Continued shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower or, in the case of a Notice of Borrowing, shall, at the option of the Borrower in the case of a Loan denominated in Dollars, be deemed converted into a Notice of Borrowing for Base Rate Loans to be made on the date of Borrowing contained in such Notice of Borrowing, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or other Recipient, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate

(b) At any time that any Eurocurrency Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 3.01(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a Eurocurrency Loan affected pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(iii) the Borrower shall) either (i) if the affected Eurocurrency Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, by giving the Administrative Agent thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by a Lender or other Recipient pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(ii) or (iii), cancel said Borrowing, or, in the case of any Borrowing of a Loan denominated in Dollars, convert the related Notice of Borrowing into one requesting a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or require the affected Lender or other Recipient to make its requested Loan as a Base Rate Loan, (ii) if the affected Eurocurrency Loan is then outstanding and denominated in Dollars, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender or other Recipient to Convert each such Eurocurrency Loan into a Base Rate Loan or (iii) if the affected Eurocurrency Loan is then outstanding and is a Loan, bear interest at such rate as the Required Lenders shall determine adequately and fairly reflects the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period plus the applicable interest rate set forth in Section 2.09(b); provided, however, that if more than one Lender or other Recipient is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders or other Recipients must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 3.01(b). (c) If any Lender shall have determined that after the Closing Date, any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged by law with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender or its parent corporation with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material to the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent corporation’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent corporation would have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its parent corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent corporation for such reduction. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.01(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, which basis must be reasonable, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01(c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice. (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no Lender shall be entitled to compensation or payment or reimbursement of other amounts under Section 3.01 for any amounts incurred or accruing more than 180 days prior to the giving of notice to the Borrower of additional costs or other amounts of the nature described in such Sections (provided, that if such additional costs or other amounts arose as a result of a Change in Law that was retroactive, then such 180 day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof), and (ii) no Lender shall demand compensation

-66- for any reduction referred to in Section 3.01(c) if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation, payment or reimbursement in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements. Section 3.02 Breakage Compensation. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth the detailed basis for requesting and the method of calculating such compensation), for all reasonable losses, costs, expenses and liabilities (including any loss, cost, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Eurocurrency Loans) which such Lender may sustain in connection with any of the following: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Continuation or Conversion (other than a Notice of Borrowing deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 3.01(a)); (ii) if any repayment, prepayment, Conversion or Continuation of any Eurocurrency Loan occurs on a date that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurocurrency Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; (iv) as a result of an assignment by a Lender of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto pursuant to a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.05(b); or (v) as a consequence of (x) any other default by the Borrower to repay or prepay any Eurocurrency Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or (y) an election made pursuant to Section 3.05(b). The written request of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such request within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. Section 3.03 Net Payments. (a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 3.03, the term β€œapplicable law” includes FATCA. (b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. (c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Each Credit Party shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any applicable Other Taxes. (d) Indemnification by the Credit Parties. Each Credit Party with respect to Loans shall, jointly and severally, with such other Credit Parties indemnify each applicable Recipient, in each case within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly

-67- or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.06(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e). (f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.03, such Credit 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. (g) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to withholding, including backup withholding, or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.03(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that either (x) the Borrower or (y) any U.S. Credit Party to which the Borrower advances proceeds of any Term Loan and which, in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower, any U.S. Credit Party, or the Administrative Agent, may be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a conduit borrower, is a U.S. Person,

Β 
-68- (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals (or copies, including electronic copies) of IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the β€œinterest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the β€œbusiness profits” or β€œother income” article of such tax treaty; (2) executed originals (or copies, including electronic copies) of IRS Form W- 8ECI; (3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a β€œbank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a β€œ10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a β€œcontrolled foreign corporation” related to the Applicable Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and that no payments in connection with any Loan Document are effectively connected with such Foreign Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (a β€œU.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals (or copies, including electronic copies) of IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or (4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership, or is a participating Lender), executed originals (or copies, including electronic copies) of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8 BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals (or copies, including electronic copies) of any other form

Β 
-69- prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the 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 the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the 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 clause (D), β€œFATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Credit Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.03(g). (h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.03), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this 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 shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. (i) VAT (i) All amounts expressed to be payable under any Loan Document by any party to a Recipient which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject

Β 
-70- to paragraph (b) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Recipient to any party under a Loan Document and such Recipient is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that party must pay to such Recipient (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Recipient must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that party). (ii) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Recipient (the β€œSupplier”) to any other Recipient (the β€œVAT Receiver”) under any Loan Document, and any party other than the VAT Receiver (the β€œRelevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the VAT Receiver in respect of that consideration): (A) where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The VAT Receiver must (where this paragraph (A) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the VAT Receiver receives from the relevant tax authority which the VAT Receiver reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and (B) where the VAT Receiver is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the VAT Receiver, pay to the VAT Receiver an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the VAT Receiver reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT. (iii) Where any Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Recipient for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Recipient for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Recipient reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority. (iv) Any reference in this Section 3.03(i) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group or unity (including but not limited to a fiscal unity (fiscale eenheid) for Dutch VAT purposes, β€œUnity”) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union) or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the European Union) so that a reference to a party shall be construed as a reference to that party or the relevant group or Unity of which that party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or head) of that group or Unity at the relevant time (as the case may be). (v) In relation to any supply made by a Recipient to any party under any Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Recipient, that party must promptly provide such Recipient with details of that party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Recipient’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

Β 
-71- (j) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. Section 3.04 [Reserved]. Section 3.05 Change of Lending Office; Replacement of Lenders. (a) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.01(a)(ii) or (iii), 3.01(c) or 3.03 requiring the payment of additional amounts to the Lender, such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another Applicable Lending Office for any Loans or Commitments affected by such event; provided, however, that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its Applicable Lending Office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. (b) If (i) any Lender requests any compensation, reimbursement or other payment under Section 3.01(a)(ii) or (iii), or 3.01(c) with respect to such Lender, (ii) the Borrower is, or because of a matter in existence as of the date that the Borrower is seeking to exercise its rights under this Section will be, required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 3.03, or (iii) or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the 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 the restrictions contained in Section 11.06(c)), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations; provided, however, that (1) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts, including any breakage compensation under Section 3.02 hereof but excluding any amount payable under Section 2.13(g)), and (2) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation, reimbursement or other payments required to be made under Section 3.01(a)(ii) or (iii) or Section 3.01(c) with respect to such Lender, or resulting from any required payments to any Lender or Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 3.03, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation, reimbursement or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. (c) Nothing in this Section 3.05 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 3.01, or 3.03. ARTICLE IV. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT Section 4.01 Conditions Precedent at Closing Date. The occurrence of the Closing Date, and the obligation of the Lenders to make Initial Term Loans on or about the Closing Date, is subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions on or prior to the Closing Date (the making of such Loans by a Lender being conclusively deemed to be its satisfaction or waiver):

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and at any time thereafter, if any Event of Default shall then be continuing, the Administrative Agent (i) may, in its discretion, or (ii) shall, upon the written request of the Required Lenders, by written notice to the Parent Guarantor, take any or all of the following actions, without prejudice to the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to enforce its claims against the Parent Guarantor or any other Credit Party in any manner permitted under applicable law: (a) declare the Commitments terminated, whereupon the Commitment of each Lender shall forthwith terminate immediately without any other notice of any kind; (b) declare the principal of and any accrued interest in respect of all Loans and all other Obligations owing hereunder and thereunder to be, whereupon the same shall become, forthwith due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Parent Guarantor; (c) [reserved]; or (d) exercise any other right or remedy available under any of the Loan Documents or applicable law; provided, that if an Event of Default specified in Section 8.01(i) shall occur, the result that would occur upon the giving of written notice by the Administrative Agent as specified in clauses (a) or (b) above shall occur automatically without the giving of any such notice. Section 8.03 Application of Certain Payments and Proceeds. (a) All payments and other amounts received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender through the exercise of remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents from any Credit Party and all proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pledged by the Credit Parties shall, unless otherwise required by applicable law, be applied as follows: (i) first, to the payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and expenses and other amounts (including attorneys’ fees and amounts due under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such; (ii) second, to the payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and amounts due under Article III) payable to each Lender, ratably among them in proportion to the aggregate of all such amounts; (iii) third, to the payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the aggregate of all such amounts; (iv) fourth, pro rata to the payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the aggregate of all such amounts; (v) fifth, to the payment of all other Obligations of the Credit Parties owing under or in respect of the Loan Documents that are then due and payable to the Secured Creditors, ratably

Β 
-115- based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to them on such date; and (vi) finally, any remaining surplus after all of the Obligations have been paid in full, unless required to be distributed pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Priming Facility Intercreditor Agreement, to the Parent Guarantor or to whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled thereto. It is understood and agreed that if a Triggering Event occurs, including as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Make-Whole Premium determined as of the date of such Triggering Event will also be due and payable and will be treated and deemed as though the Term Loans were prepaid as of such date and shall constitute part of the Obligations for all purposes herein (subject to the Make-Whole Premium Exceptions) in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s loss as a result thereof. Any Make-Whole Premium payable pursuant to Section 2.13(g) shall be presumed to be equal to the liquidated damages sustained by the Lenders as the result of the occurrence of the Triggering Event, and the Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Make-Whole Premium, if any, shall also be payable in the event the Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING MAKE-WHOLE PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION, EXCEPT AS A RESULT OF A MAKE-WHOLE PREMIUM EXCEPTION. The Borrower expressly agrees that (A) the Make-Whole Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (B) the Make-Whole Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (C) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders and the Borrower giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Make-Whole Premium, (D) the Borrower shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph, (E) its agreement to pay the Make-Whole Premium is a material inducement to the Lenders, (F) the Make-Whole Premium represents a good faith, reasonable estimate of liquidated damages (including without limitation a calculation of the lost profits or other damages, and are a proportionate quantification of the actual loss of the anticipated stream of interest payments upon an early prepayment or acceleration of the Term Loans) of the Lenders and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to the Lenders or profits lost by the Lenders as a result of such Triggering Event for various reasons (including, without limitation, because such damages would depend on, among other things, (1) when the Lenders might otherwise be repaid and (2) future changes in interest rates which are not readily ascertainable on the Closing Date), (G) to the extent it becomes due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Make-Whole Premium represents additional consideration for providing the Term Loans, and (H) the Make-Whole Premium is not a penalty to punish the Borrower for their early prepayment of the Term Loans or for the occurrence of any Event of Default or acceleration. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that the Make-Whole Premium for purposes of this Agreement and the foregoing paragraph includes the premium set forth in clause (b) of the definition of β€œMake-Whole Premium”.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give consent under Section 11.12) will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release, reconvey or subordinate any Lien or particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.01(b).

(ii) Each Secured Creditor (other than the Administrative Agent) hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) and authorises the Administrative Agent (whether or not by or through employees or agents):- (A) to accept, execute and deliver in its name and on its behalf as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) any Security Documents creating a Swiss Accessory Security; (B) to accept, execute and deliver in its name and on its behalf as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) any amendments, confirmations and/or alterations to any Security Documents creating a Swiss Accessory Security and to administer, exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are delegated to or conferred upon the Administrative Agent thereunder together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto; (C) to effect in its name and on its behalf as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) any release of any Swiss Accessory Security created under any Security Documents in accordance with this Agreement; and

A Secured Creditor which is barred by its constitutional documents or by-laws from granting such exemption shall notify the Administrative Agent accordingly. (iv) Each Secured Creditor (other than the Administrative Agent) hereby ratifies and approves all acts and declarations previously done by the Administrative Agent on such Secured Creditor’s behalf (including for the avoidance of doubt any declarations made by the Administrative Agent as

Β 
-119- representative without power of attorney (Vertreter ohne Vertretungsmacht) in relation to the creation of any pledge (Pfandrecht) on behalf and for the benefit of any Secured Creditor as future pledgee or otherwise).

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, with the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and which shall not be required during the continuance of a Specified Event of Default (other than with respect to the appointment of any Person that is a Competitor, which shall require the consent of the Borrower under all circumstances), appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall not be a Disqualified Lender; provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no such successor is willing to accept such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and the terms hereof. Upon the effective time of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed or, if no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, shall deliver such collateral security to any of the Lenders) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph.

The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article, Section 11.01 and Section 11.02 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Β 
-125- For purposes of any Security Document expressed to be governed by the laws of the Netherlands, any resignation by the Administrative Agent is not effective with respect to its rights under any parallel debt obligations until all rights and obligations with respect to such parallel debt obligations have been assigned to and assumed by the successor Administrative Agent.

(b) In addition, unless either (1) subclause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with subclause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto). Section 9.20 Parallel Obligations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Administrative Agent, as creditor in its own right and not as representative of the other Secured Creditors, sums equal to and in the currency of each amount payable by the Borrower to Secured Creditors with respect to the Loan and the other Obligations under the Loan Documents as and when that amount falls due for payment under the relevant Loan Document or would have fallen due but for any discharge resulting from failure of another Secured Creditors to take appropriate steps, in insolvency proceedings affecting such Credit Party, to preserve its entitlement to be paid that amount (the β€œParallel Obligation”). The Administrative Agent shall have its own independent right to demand payment of the amounts payable by the Borrower under this Section 9.20, irrespective of any discharge of the Borrower’s obligation to pay those amounts to the other Secured Creditors resulting from failure by them to take appropriate steps, in insolvency proceedings affecting such Credit Party, to preserve their entitlement to be paid those amounts. Any amount due and payable by a Borrower to the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.20 shall be decreased to the extent that the other Secured Creditors have received (and are able to retain) payment in full of the corresponding amount under the other provisions of the Loan Documents and any amount due and payable by a Credit Party to the other Secured Creditors under those provisions shall be decreased to the extent that the Administrative Agent has received (and is able to retain) payment in full of the corresponding amount under this Section 9.20. The rights of the Secured Creditors (other than the

Β 
-130- Administrative Agent) to receive payment of amounts payable by the Borrower under the Loan Documents are several and are separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the rights of the Administrative Agent to receive payment under this Section 9.20. ARTICLE X. GUARANTY Section 10.01 Guaranty by the Parent Guarantor. The Parent Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, all Obligations (the β€œParent Guarantor Guaranteed Obligations”) and, in each case, whether now existing, or hereafter incurred or arising, including any such interest or other amounts incurred or arising during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership or similar proceeding (including under any Debtor Relief Law), regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding or subject to an automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or under any Debtor Relief Law. Such guaranty is an absolute, unconditional, present and continuing guaranty of payment and not of collectability and is in no way conditioned or contingent upon any attempt to collect from any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Parent Guarantor, or any other action, occurrence or circumstance whatsoever. Upon failure by any Credit Party to pay punctually any of the Parent Guarantor Guaranteed Obligations, the Parent Guarantor shall forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the currency and otherwise in the manner specified in this Agreement or any other applicable agreement or instrument. Section 10.02 Reserved. Section 10.03 Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of the Parent Guarantor under this Article X shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by the occurrence, one or more times, of any of the following: (a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release (other than a waiver or release of the entire amount of the Parent Guarantor Guaranteed Obligations in connection with the termination in full of the Commitments and the repayment in full of the Loans and all interest, fees and all other Obligations incurred hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (other than contingent indemnification obligations and unasserted expense reimbursement obligations) concurrently with the termination of the Loan Documents) in respect to the Parent Guarantor Guaranteed Obligations under any agreement or instrument, by operation of law or otherwise; (b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document; (c) any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for the Parent Guarantor Guaranteed Obligations under any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any Parent Guarantor Guaranteed Obligations; (d) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Credit Party or other Subsidiary or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding (including under any Debtor Relief Law) affecting any Credit Party or other Subsidiary or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Credit Party or other Subsidiary contained in any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any of the Parent Guarantor Guaranteed Obligations;

-131- (e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights that the Parent Guarantor may have at any time against any other Credit Party, the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions; (f) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any other Credit Party for any reason of any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any of the Parent Guarantor Guaranteed Obligations, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any Credit Party of any of the Parent Guarantor Guaranteed Obligations; or (g) any other act or omission of any kind by any other Credit Party, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Article, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Parent Guarantor’s obligations under this Section other than the irrevocable payment in full of all Parent Guarantor Guaranteed Obligations. Section 10.04 Obligations to Remain in Effect; Restoration. The Parent Guarantor’s obligations under this Article X shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments shall have terminated, and the principal of and interest on the Notes and other Parent Guarantor Guaranteed Obligations, and all other amounts payable by the Borrower, any other Credit Party or other Subsidiary, under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any of the Parent Guarantor Guaranteed Obligations, shall have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations and unasserted expense reimbursement obligations). If at any time any payment of any of the Parent Guarantor Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Credit Party (including under any Debtor Relief Law), the Parent Guarantor’s obligations under this Article with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had been due but not made at such time. Section 10.05 Waiver of Acceptance, etc. The Parent Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any person against any other Credit Party or any other Person, or against any collateral or guaranty of any other Person. Section 10.06 Subrogation. Until the indefeasible payment in full of all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations and unasserted expense reimbursement obligations) and the termination of the Commitments hereunder, the Parent Guarantor shall have no rights, by operation of law or otherwise, upon making any payment under this Section 10.06 to be subrogated to the rights of the payee against any other Credit Party with respect to such payment or otherwise to be reimbursed, indemnified or exonerated by any such Credit Party in respect thereof. Section 10.07 Effect of Stay. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any Credit Party under any of the Parent Guarantor Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Credit Party (including under any Debtor Relief Law), all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any applicable agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any of the Parent Guarantor Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Parent Guarantor under this Article forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent.

Β 
-134- To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless any Person set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, each Credit Party shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities that is permissible under applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 11.02 shall not apply to Taxes, except any Taxes that represent liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, costs and expenses arising from any non-Tax claims.

Each Lender agrees to promptly notify the Borrower after any such set off and application, provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application. Section 11.04 Equalization. (a) Equalization. If at any time any Lender receives any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents, or otherwise) that is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or fees (other than fees that are intended to be paid solely to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable to a Lender under Article III), of a sum that with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such amount. The provisions of this Section 11.04(a) shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). (b) Recovery of Amounts.

Β 
-135- (c) Consent of Borrower. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. Section 11.05 Notices. (a) Generally. Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except as provided in subpart (c) below), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by facsimile as follows: (i) if to the Borrower or to any other Credit Party, to it at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, XxXxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Interim Chief Financial Officer, Electronic Mail: xxxxx.xxxxxxx@xxx.xxx; and Attention: Xxxxx XxXxx, General Counsel, Electronic Mail: xxxxx.xxxxx@xxx.xxx; with a copy (which in itself shall not constitute notice) to: AKIN GUMP XXXXXXX XXXXX & XXXX LLP Xxx Xxxxxx Xxxx Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 Attn: Xxxxx Charleston, Esq.

Β 
-136- the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the β€œreturn receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided, that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet web site shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the web site address therefor.

Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to each of the other parties hereto in accordance with Section 11.05(a). Section 11.06 Successors and Assigns. (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all the Lenders; provided, further, that any assignment or participation by a Lender of any of its rights and obligations hereunder shall be effected in accordance with this Section 11.06. (b) Participations. Each Lender may at any time grant participations in any of its rights hereunder or under any of the Notes to an Eligible Assignee or an Eligible Participant; provided, that in the case of any such participation, (i) the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including rights of consent, approval or waiver (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto), (ii) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitments hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (iii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iv) such Lender shall remain the holder of the Obligations owing to it and of any Note issued to it for all purposes of this Agreement, and (v) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with the selling Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and, provided, further, that no Lender shall transfer, grant or sell any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except to the extent (A) such participant is an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of the Lender granting the participations or (B) such amendment or waiver would (x) extend the final scheduled maturity or the date of any scheduled repayment of any of the Loans in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce the principal amount thereof, or

Β 
-137- increase such participant’s participating interest in any Commitment over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute a change in the terms of any such Commitment), (y) release all or any substantial portion of the Collateral, or release any guarantor from its guaranty of any of the applicable Obligations, except in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or (z) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and, provided, still further, that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.03 with respect to its participation as if it was a Lender, except that a participant shall (i) only deliver the forms described in Section 3.03(g) to the Lender granting it such participation, (ii) agree to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.05(b) and 11.12(h) as if it were a Lender and (iii) not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.03 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the participation, except to the extent such entitlement to a greater payment arose from a Change in Law occurring after the participant became a participant hereunder and the Borrower consented to such participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall knowingly grant a participation to any Person other than an Eligible Participant or Eligible Assignee if such grant of a participation to such Person together with the participations previously granted to such Person and known to the Lender exceed $3,000,000 in the aggregate. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable in the event that a participation in any Loan or Commitment is transferred or granted to any Restricted Participant or exceeds the threshold set forth in the foregoing sentence. In the event that any Lender sells participations in a Loan, such Lender shall, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in such Loan and the principal amount of (and stated interest on) the portion of such Loan that is the subject of the participation (the β€œParticipant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (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) to any Person 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 as the owner of the participation in question for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. A Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide). Any participation of a Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. (c) Assignments by Lenders. (i) Any Lender may assign all, or if less than all, a fixed portion, of its Loans and/or Commitments (in each case together with a proportional interest in the Security Documents governed by Swedish law, if any) and its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more Eligible Assignees, each of which shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment Agreement (together with a processing and recordation fee to the Administrative Agent of $3,500 (unless waived by the Administrative Agent in any given case)); provided, however, that (A) except in the case of (x) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments or (y) an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment so assigned (which for this purpose includes the Loans

Β 
-138- outstanding thereunder) shall not be less than $1,000,000 in the case of any assignment in respect of the Term Loans; (B) in the case of any assignment to an Eligible Assignee at the time of any such assignment the Lender Register shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders; and (C) upon surrender of the old Notes, if any, upon request of the new Lender, new Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender, to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments. (ii) To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this subpart (c), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. (iii) At the time of each assignment pursuant to this subpart (c), to a Person that is not already a Lender hereunder, the respective assignee Lender shall provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the applicable Internal Revenue Service Forms and all other documentation described in Section 3.03(g). (iv) With respect to any Lender, the transfer of any Commitment of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitment shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Lender Register maintained by the Administrative Agent (on behalf of and acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower) with respect to ownership of such Commitment and Loans, including the name and address of the Lenders and the principal amount of the Loans (and stated interest thereon). Prior to such recordation, all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitment and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Lender Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment Agreement pursuant to this subpart (c). (v) Nothing in this Section shall prevent or prohibit (A) any Lender that is a bank, trust company or other financial institution from pledging its Notes or Loans to a Federal Reserve Bank, central banking authority or to any Person that extends credit to such Lender in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank, central banking authority or such other Person, or (B) any Lender that is a trust, limited liability company, partnership or other investment company from pledging its Notes or Loans to a trustee or agent for the benefit of holders of certificates or debt securities issued by it. No such pledge, or any assignment pursuant to or in lieu of an enforcement of such a pledge, shall relieve the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder. (vi) 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share 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, each Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate)

Β 
-139- its full pro rata share of all Loans. 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. (d) No SEC Registration or Blue Sky Compliance. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, no transfer or assignment of the interests or obligations of any Lender hereunder or any grant of participation therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would require the Parent Guarantor or the Borrower to file a registration statement with the SEC or to qualify the Loans under the β€œBlue Sky” laws of any State. (e) Representations of Lenders. Each Lender initially party to this Agreement hereby represents, and each Person that becomes a Lender pursuant to an assignment permitted by this Section will, upon its becoming party to this Agreement, represents that it is a commercial lender, other financial institution or other β€œaccredited” investor (as defined in SEC Regulation D) that makes or acquires loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it will make or acquire Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of such business; provided, however, that subject to Section 11.06(b), (c) and (f), the disposition of any promissory notes or other evidences of or interests in Indebtedness held by such Lender shall at all times be within its exclusive control. (f) Special Purpose Funding Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (β€œGranting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a β€œSPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that (x) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loans and (y) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one (1) year and one (1) day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this clause, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. This Section may not be amended without the written consent of the SPC. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, each SPC, for purposes of Sections 2.10, 2.14, 3.01, 3.03, 11.01, 11.02 and 11.03, shall be considered a Lender. Section 11.07 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power

Β 
-140- or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the Administrative Agent or any Lender would otherwise have.

TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY PARTY HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PROVISION (AND EACH OTHER PROVISION OF EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY) AND THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE CREDIT PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EACH LENDER AND ENTERING INTO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. (e) The Borrower agrees that service of process in any action or proceeding brought in the State of New York may be made upon the Parent Guarantor, and the Borrower confirms and agrees that the Parent Guarantor has been duly and irrevocably appointed as its agent and true and lawful attorney-in-fact in its name, place and stead to accept such service. Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of the Administrative Agent to serve any such process in any other manner permitted by applicable law or to obtain jurisdiction over the Borrower in such other jurisdictions, and in such manner, as may be permitted by applicable law. Section 11.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same agreement.

Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes a Non-Consenting Lender and is being replaced in accordance with this Section 11.12(h), it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement to evidence such assignment and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Notes previously delivered to such Non-Consenting Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender hereby agrees that in the event such Non-Consenting Lender does not deliver its executed Assignment Agreement to the Administrative Agent within three (3) Business Days of a request by the Borrower to do so, such Non-Consenting Lender’s signature page shall be deemed executed without any further action on the part of the Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other party. (i) Any Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of β€œRequired Lenders,” except that, subject to Section 11.12(a), (i) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (ii) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that (A) by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders, (B) increases or extends the Commitment of any such Defaulting Lender, (C) reduces the principal of or the rate of interest for Loans of such Defaulting Lender, or fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to such Defaulting Lender or (D) amends or modifies any provision of this paragraph shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(k) Prior to executing any amendment, modification or waiver, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive a certificate executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower certifying that such amendment, modification or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 11.28 Swedish Security. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the release of any security interest (that is perfected or purported to be perfected) in any Collateral subject to a Security Document governed by Swedish law will (unless, in relation to a release of security over such Collateral due to a disposal of such asset, the proceeds of the disposal of the asset secured or charged are paid directly to the Administrative Agent and are applied in prepayment of secured obligations) always be subject to the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent to be granted at the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion).
